                was of concern to the Security Office, due principaly to the activities
                and proclivities of his wife, Rita C. Heller COHEN, #MS-3185,. the for-
                mer wife of Irving ROTH, #MS-2001 R. COHEN was the subject of an
                Employment Review Board case in 1956; and in 1956 was disqualified
                as a member of the Junior Career Development Program. It was then

                highly sensitive material. At the time of his resignation, he was an

                of his employer, Senator PERCY, who planned an extensive tour of the
                Far East. In June 1967, Mr. George CARY, Legislative Counsel,
                requested a check on COHEN stating that there may be occasion to brief
                him from time to time. According to Mr. CARY, COHEN would be
                briefed generally on the build up in Cuba but would not be exposed to
                operational information or exotic material.
