MEMORANDUM FOR


FROM

SUBJECT


:  Special Assistant to DDO for
     External Oversight

:  Jackson R. Horton
   Chief, Domestic Collection Division

   Joseph Raymond Merola


     1.  DCD's only recorded contact with Joseph Paymond Merola
prior to August 1961 occurred on 6 February 1961.  It followed
a series of telephone calls over a period of several months
in which Merola had expressed interest in offering his assis-
tance in connection with Cuban matters.  The DCD officer had
declined contact until 6 February when Merola claimed to have
information on a Brazilian senator who was a close friend
and confidante of Che Guevera.  Because Guevera was the
subject of requirements levied on DCD, our officer agreed to
a meeting.  The substance of the 6 February 1961 meeting is
described in report 00-A(S)-3179213, dated 8 February.   (This
report has been-returned to the Agency Archives, but will be
retrieved and reviewed for classification.  Should it carry a
Secret classification, it will be downgraded to Confidential
and may be so considered for the purposes of this inquiry.)
