         SUJECT       :  Espinosa Allegations


              1. Sensitivity:       1    p           they

                 A.  present ap       b  a   o  their having been
                 presented to ot                ncies;

                 B.  in view of-matters touching on U.S. security,
                 are delicate and could have unfavorable repercussions
                 if repeated to newsmen by the complainant or his
                 associates (whose independent, previous threats were
                 of greater potential embarrassment);

                 C.  affect the reputations and the security of our
                 personnel at Madrid and Paris.

             2.  Action:  In view of the foregoing, the allegations

                 A.  should be put in proper perspective - i.e., not
                 ignored because of the potential embarass.ent but
                 considered in the light of what we already know
                 (Almost all of them are repetitions of previous
                 charges and reports, known well to both the Madrid
                 and Paris stations and to Headquarters officers
                 concerned with the AMLAS' group, whose iembers'
                 reliability, reputations and good faith are question-
                 able.  Two of the charges - about Earle and Tota
                 and about AIMWHIP-1 and CARRILLO -- are new.);

                 B.  should be treated so as to protect us against any
                 charge of 1Xto establish the facts but,
                 at the same laoi atributing
                 to them mrerv
                                    r
                 C.  should be                -xa mnples of other
                 charges which                 t and reported by the
                 AMLAISH group to o            al agencies or to
                 other governments or to news media (In the last
                 connection recall the implied threat of publishing
                 ODYOKE responsibility, as reported previously by
                 MAD.R-3716, IN 33634.);
