MEMORANDUM FOR

FROM

SUBJECT

: Special Assistant to DDO for
External Oversight
: Jackson R. Horton
Chief, Domestic Collection Division
Joseph Raymond Merola   q  a G tj

I,

1. DCD's only recorded contact with Joseph Paymond 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 Merola 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
information on a Brazilian senator who was a close friend
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.)
2. If the following deletions are made, I have no
objection to the release of this document.
a. Heading: Support
b.. Paragraph 2: Delete the first sentence
c. Paragraph 4: Delete Sam Kay
d. Signature: Delete Justin F. Gleichauf
and JFG/amb
3. Further inquiries on this matter may be directed
to Ruth Elliff, extension 2271.
