     1.  On 10 January 1974 the WH/2/GS desk received  the
referenced memorandum from the Domestic Collection  Division
indicating the Miami field office had been in contact  with one
Joseph R. MEROLA.  MEROLA had just returned from a  business
trip to E1 Sa) vador; and h reported that a friend  of his had
identified a  r. 6remillio) in the Political Section  of the
American Emb   y in San Salvador as a suspect  CIA representative.
Headquarters traces on Joseph R. MEROLA indicated  that on several
occasions in the past MEROLA had claimed that  hq was a CIA
agent.  The Chief of Station, the  r. Gremi   io)referred  to
above, was recently questioned r farding' any Embassy contact
with MEROLA while the  latter was in San Salvador.  The COS
stated that both within the Embassy commiunity and at social
functions MEROLA had frequently referred  to his contact with
the CIA, past and present.  He  also volunteered this infor-
zation to a former Station contact.

     2.  In light of  the above, it would appear that MEROLA
had taken advantage of his  agency contacts in an inappropriate
anner to the potentiaJ embarrassment  of the San Salvador
Staticn.  We would,  accordingly, appreciate that this be given
due c' sideration  in your assess`ent of the advantage cf your
          ;ntact  wi tV hiM.
