            MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

            FROM:           Andrew  J. Percival               Back    d  e
                            Office of General Counsel         Do Not Reproduce

           SUBJECT:        Agency  Connections with the Grand Bahama
                           Development  Company                          -

           REFERENCE:      A.  Memo  fm C/CCS  for Dep. Gen.  Counsel, dtd
                               15 Sept. 76, Same Subj., OGC   76-5044

                           B.  Memo  fm D/OS,  for OGC, ,dtd 3 Sept. 76, Subj:
                               Grand  Bahama  Development Corp. and  Wallace Groves
                               OGC  76-4861



                1.  Referent B forwards  an analysis of possible Agency involvement
           with suspected criminal elements in the Bahamas.  Referent A is a commentary
           on this analysis that details CCS relationships with individuals associated
           with a company  that is reputed to be an employer of organized crime
           figures. No  specific fact is presented that would legally raise the suspicion
           of the commission of a violation of law, morality or ethics by the U.S.
           citizen businessmen now  cooperating with this Agency: Major General
           William P. Fisher (USAF-Ret.); Mr.  John P. Roulett (USN-Ret.); and
           ~Mr. Albert Whisnant.

                2.  In the sensitivity of this time, it would be imprudent not to
           recognize that mere proximity to unsavory elements is sufficient for some
           to suggest guilt by association. This Agency recognizing that. unfortunate
           fact of life has an obligation to protect the rights of those upon whom we
           have prevailed to cooperate. The  only direct method iimmediately apparent
           is to sever our relationship with voiced gratitude for past servides in the
           national interest. The timing proposed by C/CCS  in referent A appears
           appropriate.

                3. It should be noted that General Fisher's son is a
           That fact dictates that every effort be made- to contain the sub s ance o  is
           and referent memoranda  to the narrowest possible audience to preclude
           unwarranted acrimony  and suspicion until proof positive of evil or criminal
           activity is certain, which event is extremely doubtful.    /
