IAA - IAL/7                                 -
8 April 1977
MEMORANDUIM FOR: Special Assistant to DDO for
External Oversight
FROM          : Jackson R. Horton
Chief, Domestic Collection Division
SUBJECT       : Joseph Raymond Merola
1. DCD's only recorded contact with Joseph Raymond Merola
prior to August 1961 occurred on 6 February 1961. It followed
a series of telephone calls over a period of several months
in which blerola had expressed interest in offering his assis-
tance in connection with Cuban matters. The DCD officer had
declined contact until 6 February when Merola claimed to have       r
information on a Brazilian senator who was a close friend 1
and confidante of Che Guevera. Because Guevera was the
subject of requirements levied on DCD, our officer agreed to
a meeting. The substance of the 6 February 1961 meeting is
described in report 00-A(S)-3179213, dated 8 February. (This
report has been returned to the Agency Archives, but will be
retrieved and reviewed for classification. Should it carry a
Secret classification, it will be downgraded to Confidential
and may be so considered for the purposes of this inquiry.)
