                        MEMORANDUM  FOR:  Domestic Collection Division

                        ATTENTION:        Mr.

                        SUBJECT:          Joseph R. MEROLA

                        REFERENCE:        HH 25826, 8 January 1974

                             1.  On  10 January 1974 the WH/2/GS desk received the
                        referenced memorandum  from the Domestic Collection Division
                        indicating  the Miami field office had been in contact with one
                        Joseph R.  MLROLA.  MERULA had just returned fr.oi a business
                        trip to El Salvador;  and he reported that a friend of his had
                        identified  a Mr. Gremillion in the Political Section of the
                        American Embassy  in San Salvador as a suspect CIA representative.
                        Headquarters  traces on Joseph R. MEROLA indicated that on several
                        occasions  in the past MEROLA had claimed that he was a CIA
                        agent.  The  =, the Mr. Gremillion referred to
                        above, was  recently questonad  regarding any Embassy contact
                        with MEROLA while  the latter was in San Salvador.  The
                        stated that both within  the Embassy community and at social
                        functions MEROLA  had frequently referred to his contact with
                        the CIA, past  and present.  He also volunteered this infor-
                        mation to a  former Station contact.

                             2.   In light of the above, it would appear that MEROLA
                        had taken advantage  of his agency contacts in an  naanrnariiate
                        manner to  the potential embarrassment of the
                                  We would,  accordingly, appreciate.tnat  nis ve given
                        due cosideration   in your assessment of the advantage of your
                        continued contact with  him.
