            ME4RRANDER  FOR THE RECORD

            FROM : Chief, SB/2 Desk

            SUBJECT:  COVER,             - GENERAL
                       (Proposal for  A   ssessment of Potential
                       #90g SKIN  Agent Candidates)
                 1..  Reference is made to my previous memorandum bertaining
            to the proposal to initiate a change of policy with respect to
            the processing of potential REDSKIN Agents.

                  2. As will be noted, it was initially recommended that
            potential RErSKIN Agent candidates be provided with an A&E assess-
            ment by OTR prior to disclosure of Agency interest in them and
            prior  to the disclosure of any classified information. This
            assessment will be  conducted utilizinga                    1t
            was  initially suggested that TSD's Psychological Assessment
            Associates  firm now used by Dr. GITTINGER be used for this purpose.
            If the  A&E assessment were favorable, Security would be requested
            to  conduct a full investigation of the Subject and he would be
            subsequently  contacted under alias CIA credentials. At that point,
            he would be  requested to perform a mission for us and would be
            given  requirements for same if he agreed to accept such assignment.

                  3. Attention  is invited to the attached memorandun dated
             8 February 1961. A  copy of this memorandum was- furnished to
             the writer with the verbal request that credit checks be conducted
             on all the staff  &E members mentioned. Prior to the initiation
             of credit checks, it was verbally agreed between the undersigned and
             Mr. Thomas STRANGE, C0G/NC, that no credit check would be conducted
             on Jacob COLDER, in view of the fact that it was known the latter
             was recently surfaced as an Agency  ployee.  The requested credit
             checks were completed on or about 16 February 1961 and the results
             verbally transmitted to Nr. Thomas STRANGE.

                  4. As of this date, CC' feels that they may have to establish
             another notional cover for this program. It is understood that
             this cover will be utilized in addition to utilizing the__             2
