       Cunningham  (deceased) who has, at tiat time, Chief, Special

       utilized by the Office  in extremely sensitive cases. -Witi
       the approval of the Director of Security, Subject was offered
       a proposition wherein he was to receive S500.00 per nonth,

       principal British interest was Stavros liarcnus atd that
       the ultimate goal of this task was to scrap the Ohuassis
       Saudi oil deal. Maheu  tooka the job but conditioned sis
       acceptance with the fact that                        i
       to t  e   wiG                 lie would do nothing inimical   -
