     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. MEROLA.  MEROLA had just returned from a business
trip to E1 Sa) vador; and h reported that a friend of his had
identified a Mr. 6remillio) in the Political Section of the
American Emb   y 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 hq was a CIA
agent.  The Chief of Station, the  r. 6remillion)referred to
above, was recently questioned r  arding- any Embassy contact
with NEROLA while the latter was in San Salvador.  The COS
stated that both within the Embassy commiunity and at social
functions MEROLA had frequently referred to his contact with
the CIA, past and present.  He also volunteered this infor-
nation 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 ina  ro riate
.:anner to the potentiaJ embarrassment of the
Staticn.  We would, accordingly, appreciate that  this be given
due c' sideration in your assessment of the advantage  cf your
