(Proposal for A&E Assessment of Potential
#90 KIN Agent Candidates)
1.. Reference is made to. my previous memorandum hertaining
to the proposal to initiate a change of policy with respect to
the processing of potential REDSKIN Agents.
2. As will be noted, it was initially recommended that
potential RErSKIN Agent candidates be provided with an A&E assess-
ment by OTR prior to disclosure of Agency interest in them and
prior to the disclosure of any classified information. This
assessment will be conducted utilizirig- a
was initially suggested that TSD's Psychological Assessment '
Associates firm now used by Dr. GITiINGER be used for this purpose.
If the A&E assessment we're favorable, Security would be requested
to conduct a full investigation of the Subject and he would be
subsequently contacted under alias CIA credentials. At that point,
he would be requested to perform a mission for us and would be
given requirements for same if he agreed to accept such assignment.
3. Attention is invited to the attached memorandum dated
8 February 1961. A copy of this memorandum sas furnished to
the writer with the verbal request that credit checks be conducted
on all the staff 1&E members mentioned. Prior to the initiation
of credit checks, it was verbally agreed between the undersigned and
-- Mr. Thomas STRANGE, CCG/NC, that no credit check would be conducted
on Jacob COLDER, in view of the fact that it was known the latter
--was recently surfaced as an Agency employee. The requested credit
checks were completed on or about 16 February 1961 and the results
verbally transmitted to 1r. Thomas STRANGE. -
