                         1.  Reference is made to Subject's memorandum dated 17
                    September 1956 informing this Office that she intended to submit
                    an affidavit in connection with a divorce suit instituted by
                    M    jucien  Conein against his present wife, Mrs. Carmen Conein.
                    Subject attae    a copy of the substance of the information which
                    she would provide in her affidavit in support of Mrs. Conein's
                    action in contesting the divorce.

                         2.  It was ascertained from Mr. Harrison, Clearance Branch,
                    Personnel Security Division, that there is a current security
                    action concerning Subject under Fxecutive Order 10450, the ques-
                    tionable information which brought about F. 0. 10450 processing
                    being concerned with Subject's sister's associations, rather than
                    her own.

                         3.  A review of Major Conein's file (#5025) discloses that
                    Conein is  a regular Army officer who has been assigned to this
                    kgevcy for  a number of years. He is presently on home leave after
                    a Far Fastern  tour and the Office of Security has been advised that
                    Co e   will  probably be returned to the Army in October, 1956, in
                    order to  serve two years to complete twenty years service. After
                    his A: gr retirement, there is a possibility that he will be con-
                    sidered  for assignment to this Agency as a staff employee. Conein's
                    file contains  no record of his most recent marriage, i.e., his
                    mazeIbage to Carmen Conein. It is noted that Mr. Myers, Clearance
                    Bre.-cd, Personnel Security Division, has been instructed to develop
                    infee estion concerning Conein's present spouse inamach as it was
                    les   ed indirectly that Conein is married at present.

                         . A search of Office of Security   indices in the name of
                    Ca  usConein   revealed that this person who is Major Conein's
                    vi  a, is the subject of File #28995 and was a CIA employee until
                    her :-e~signation in October, 1951. Her file reflects that she
                    ma-  i:ed Major Conein in Germany in December, 1948.

                          5.  On 28 September 1956 I contacted Subject intending to
                    adv  se her that there would be no security objection to her sub-
                    miting   an affidavit in support of Mrs. Conein's contesting of
                    the  ifvorce action brought by her husband provided that she does
