MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director of Operations
SUBJECT:
Messrs. George Bush and Thomas J. Devine
1. Through Mr. Gale Allen, C/CCS/PRG, I learned that
Mr. George Bush, DCI designate, has prior knowledge of the
now terminated Project WUBRINY/LPDICTUM which was involved
in proprietary commercial operations in Europe. He became
aware of.this project through Mr. Thomas J. Devine, a former
CIA Staff Employee and later, oil-wildcatting associate with
Mr. Bush. , Their joint activities culminated in the establishment
of Zapata Oil which they eventually sold. After the sale of
Zapata Oil, Mr. Bush went into politics, and Mr. Devine became
a member of the investment firm of Train, Cabot and Associates,
New York.
2. The attached memorandum describes the close relationship
between Messrs. Devine and Bush in 1967-1968 which, according to
Mr. Allen, continued while Mr. Bush was our Ambassador to the
United Nations. Mr. Devine's 201 file shows no operational
involvement after 1968.
