                   MENCRANDUM FOR:  Director of Central Intelligence

                   SUBJECT       :  Permanent Residence in the United States
                                    for Vladimir RODRIGUEZ LaHera under
                                    Provisions of Section 7 of the CIA Act
                                    of 1949, as Amended.


                        1.  It is recommended that Vladimir RODRIGUEZ LaHera
                   be granted permanent residence in the United States under
                   Section 7 of Public Law 110.  Subject's family is not
                   included as they have entered the United States under
                   normdl immigration procedures.

                        2.  This action is deemed essential to the support
                  of  the Cuban diplor;atic and intelligence defector effort
                  and to retain  the services of an individual able to be
                  of assistance  in psychological warfare and political action
                  assignments.

                       3.  Subject  has been utilized by CIA since his de-
                  fection in April  1964.  He has provided voluminous, accurate,
                  and valuable  information on the organization of the Cuban
                  intelligence services,  their operations, staff members,
                  and agents.  He has been,  is being, and will continue to
                  be used to effect recruitments and defections  of members of
                  the Cuban intelligence and diplomatic  services'  He desires
                  to settle permanently in the U.S. and has  been assured
                  this would be possible.  His value to us will  continue to
                  be considerable as a fluent spokesman  for the anti-Castro
                  cause and in serving as a means of approach to  high level
                  targets in the Cuban Government, particularly  those in the
                  diplomatic and intelligence services.  If Subject  is not
                  assisted in his express desire for permanent residence  in
                  the U.S., this will immeasurably increase the difficulty  in
                  encouraging other high level recruitments and defections
                  as Subject will provide living proof that CIA is not trust-
                  worthy or is powerless to assist those who cooperate with
                  and depend upon us.

                    1  4.  Subject has rnever been a member of the Communist
                  Party.  However, he is ineligible for an immigrant visa
                  due to his service in the General Directorate of Intelligence,
                  the Cuban external intelligence service.
