WNINTEL ISOLOG SECUR REF: CFR)SAN FRANCISCO 23469 1371546 1. WALTER C. BADENDICK MET FOR OVER TWO HOURS WITH SON OF WUCLASSIC/88 IN LOCAL RESTAURANT ON 9 OCT 78. MEETING WAS EXTREMELY WARM AND FRIENDLY, WITH BOTH RECALLING VIGNETTES AND ANECDOTES ABOUT WUCLASSIC/88 (C/88). SON WAS ENROUTE TO AIRPORT TO FLY TO EAST COAST TO FINALIZE PURCHASE OF FARM NEAR CHICO, CA., BUT WAS PLEASED TO TAKE TIME TO MEET BADENDICK AND TALK ABOUT C/88. SON RELATED THAT C/88, ALTHOUGH ENORMOUSLY TALENTED AND AT ONE TIME YOUNGEST MAJOR IN U.S. ARMY, HAD MARRIED SECOND WIFE UNACCEPTABLE TO ARMY AND GAVE UP HIS CAREER BECAUSE OF HIS RESPONSIBILITIES TO HER AND HIS CHILDREN (SON WAS ONLY OFFSPRING FROM FIRST MARRIAGE). THIS LED TO LENGTHY PERIOD WHICH SON DESCRIBED AS PURE HELL FOR C/88, DURING WHICH HE WAS POOR, IN ILL HEALTH AND UNABLE TO UTILIZE HIS CON- SIDERABLE TALENTS AS INTELLIGENCE OFFICER. DURING LAST EIGHTEEN MONTHS OF ASSOCIATION WITH RTACTION, C/88 WAS ONCE AGAIN IN HIS ELEMENT, WAS DOING PURPOSEFUL AND IMPORTANT WORK AND WAS FULFILLED AT END OF HIS LIFE. SON IS VERY COGNIZANT OF THIS AND HAS VERY GOOD FEELINGS TOWARD RTACTION BECAUSE OF IT. SON WAS INTIMATE CONFIDANT OF C/88, WHO TOLD HIM HE HAD RTACTION MISSION IN B BUT DID NOT REVEAL TARGETS EVEN IN GENERAL, SAID NOTHING OPERANDI,AND DID NOT IDENTIFY BADENDICK BEYOND BEING UNNAMED RTACTION OFFICER POSING AS NEPHEW (THIS LAST IN CASE C/88 SHOULD DIE, SO SON WOULD BE PREPARED TO BACKSTOP BADENDICK AS RELATIVE). 2. REGARDING C/88'S PLAN TO ASSASSINATE CASTRO, SON SAID IT WAS WRITTEN MANY YEARS AGO IN FLORIDA AT TIME WHEN SON IS ABSOLUTELY SURE C/88 HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH RTACTION. IN FACT, SAID SON, HE DOES NOT THINK PLAN WAS DRAWN UP AT ANYONE'S BEHEST, SECRET 1104-10161-105041
