MEMORANDUM FOR:  Domestic Collection Division


ATTERTION:
SUBJECT:
REFERENCE:


Mr. Shaun P. Ryan
Joseph R. MEROLA
HH 25826. 8 January 1974


      - 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. NEROLA.  HEROLA had just returned from a business
. trip to El Salvador; and he reported that a friend of his had
   identified a Mr. Gremillion in the Political Section of the
   American Embassy- 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 he was a CIA
   agent.  The Chief of Station. the Mr. Gremillion referred to
   above, was recently questioned retarding any Embassy contact
   with MEROLA whil, the latter was in San Salvador.  The COS
   stated that both within the Embassy community and at social
   functions MEROLA had frequently referred to his contact with
   the CIA, past and present.  He also volunteered this infor-
   motion to a former Station contact.


     2.  Tn light of the above. it would  appear that MEROLA
had taken advantage of his agency contacts  in an inappropriate
manner to the potential embarrassment of  the San Salvador  --
Station.  We would, accordingly, appreciate  that this be given
due consideration in your assessment of the  advantage of your
continued contact with hi.-
