                                                            22 November  1968


            MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Security

            SUBJECT               Herbert Itkin/Mario Brod et. al.




                     1. Reference is made to your instructions concerning this
            case and my attached memorandum   concerning research on whether
            or not Itkin was ever, in fact, utilized by this Agency prior to his
            contacts with Brod.

                    2.  All available sources in the Agency reflect no record of
            Itkin or of Philip Harbin, who was allegedly his case officer. Harbin
            has been checked both as a true name and as an alias. Although the
            name  is not registered in the Agency, this of course does not mean
            that some Agency representative did not make this up and use it
            without telling anyone.

                    3.  My visceral reaction is that Itkin is lying about his
            contacts with Mr. Dulles and Philip Harbin. However, since there
            appears to be a possibility of an extreme flap if Itkin gives the same
            story to the-newspapers that he gave to Mr. Houston, I would recommend
            that, with the concurrence of Mr. Helms, Mr. Dulles be interviewed and
            asked if he remembers anything about this case.

                    4.  I also spoke with Harry Mason, x5231, in Finance who
            handles OS budgetary matters and is a personal acquaintance. Without
            giving him any names I asked him if it would be possible to track down
            the receipt that Itkin claims he gave Harbin for the $5000. 00. Harry
            says if the case was handled properly and the account is still outstanding
            it will be fairly easy to find the receipt. I have done nothing further on
            this, pending your instructions.
