[2124]MEMORANDUM FOR : Deputy Chief, WH/7
[2126]aye
[2128]REFERENCE 3 Your request this subject
[2130]Following our receipt of information that Clemard-
[2131]Joseph Charles had taken a list of requirezents into
[2132]the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince ard asked help in
[2133]filling them, WH Division sent a semorandum on
[2134]19 August 1969 to the Chief, DCS, asking that DCS’s
[2135]contact with Louis A. Brun (from whom Charles had
[2136]received the requirements) be terminated. :
[2138]east eomialeniggtoa
[2140]The DCS New York office on 29 August 1969 sent a
[2141]memorandum to Chief, DCS, which reviewed the case, noted
[2142]Brun had been guilty of sloppy security, and concluded
[2143]that no further requirerents would be givea him. This
[2144]memorandum did not, however, say that contact would be OG
[2145]terminated; in fact, it s2id they would continue to de- i {
[2146]brief Brun whenever be returned from a trip to Haiti. i
[2147]This memorandum was sent to Port-au-Prince (HTPW-1347,
[2148]17 Sept 1969).
[2150]The Station replied (Port-au-Prince 6496, 11 Oct 69) i
[2151]that this was not enough, that tke contact should be nd
[2152]completely severed. WH/Branch 7 officers then met with ,
[2153]Mr. George Musulin of DCS to discuss the matter further, i
[2154]WH/7 officers maintaining that there was more political ;
[2156], action hazard to this costact than the FI product !
[2157]justified. Musulin agreed to raise the matter with ; H
[2158]C/DCS. The result was a menorandum on 16 October 1969 :
[2159]from C/DCS to C/WHD which referred to the original WHD 1
[2160]memorandum of 19 August and advised that contact with . :
[2161]Brun has been terminated. Port-au-Prince was so informed |

[3896]by Sabject on 15 April 1966. Until the early fall of
[3897]1867, much of WODISH activity with IDEN A was devoted .
[3898]to arranzing contacts with various elements of LNHARP,
[3899]which IDEN A requested on tehalf of Subject, and
[3900]reporting operational information. To the best of
[3901]BODISH knoviedge and belief, however, none of these
[3902]contacts produced any tangible assistance to Subject’s -
[3903]various schenes. With two exceptions, FODISH
[3904]relationship with IDEN 4 since Octoter 1967 has been
[3905]exclusively that of foreign intelligence collection.
[3907]fhe exceptions were Subject’s request for a secret :
[3909]peeting with a WOLADY envoy in May 1969, and an
[3911]independent sinilar request from another group in
[3913]the same month. As has been fully reported, IDEN A
[3915]eade it perfectly clear to WODISH and to Subject
[3917]and to the other group that be was acting only as
[3919]a@ channel and that he w2s not actively involved or

[3925]calls IDEH's “Lottying” fcr Subject ended before

[3929]Which the contact in the WODISH New York Office
[3931]hag dealt with IDEN A, the latter has never sponsored
[3933]or "lobbied" for Subject's various schemes. IDEN A

[3937]bet has told FODISH repeatedly that he no longer
[3939]wishes to be involved politically with Subject.
[3941]ce. We wish also to point out toat IDEN A, as a
[3942]regular supplier of foreign intelligence on Hcoiti,
[3943]has supplied data which originate with Haitians
[3944]other than Subject, and, therefore, IDEN A is not
[3945]gerely Sabject's mouthpiece. Specizically, IDEN B
[3946]end iden C are two of IDSE A’s Esitian scurces.
[3948]IDEN B is a well-known Haitian businessman; IDEN C
[3949]is a former deputy. — :

[3952]tet are very axckh so rith IDEM 4, We do not believe

[4274]Ref: NG/T Meorania, 28 Way 635 and 19 tag 69, seme eubsect
[4276]1. We have carefully considered WH/7's comments about
[4277]Touis A. Brun and hiz relationship with Clemard Joseph Charles. We
[4278]have concluded that in the matter of the nine questions concerning
[4279]the activity of foreign companies in Haiti Brun has been guilty at
[4280]least of sloppy security procedures and have decided to modify our
[4281]relationship with hin. .
[4283]_. 2... Charles has never doubted that Brun represented a
[4284]channel to US Goverment authority which he could use to suppiezent
[4285]his contacts with members of the US Enbassy staff in Port-au-Prince.
[4287]. Brun was originally istreduced to DCS in hew Yors City by Charlies on
[4289]15 Apr 1956 (see memorandum SY-251-66). Until the early fal? of 1967,
[4290]‘much of our ectivity with Brun was devoted to arranging contacts vith
[4291]werious elements of the US goverment, waich Brus requested on Dezal?
[4292]of Charles, and reporting operational information. To the bess c>
[4293]our knowledge and belief, however, none of these contacts preciced any
[4294]tangible assistance to Charies's various schemes. With two excertions,
[4296]our relationship with Brun since (ctober 1967 kas been exclusively that - ,
[4298]of foreign intelligence coliecticn. The excesticns were Cnarles's
[4299]request for @ secret meeting with a US envoy in Mey 1969 and an in-
[4300]Gepenéent similar reqcrest from another group in the same month. As»
[4301]has been fully reported, Brun made it perfectly clear to us asi to
[4302]Cheries and to the other grcup that he wes actirg only as a chanel
[4303]and that he was not activeiy icvoived or interested. We simn_y <rans-
[4304]mitted the requests. We wish to point out that viet WH/7 calis Srun's
[4305]"Lobbying" for Charles ended before October 1957. curing the nearly

[4355]3. We wish «lso to point out that Brun, as a reguler
[4356]supplier of foreign intelligence on Haiti, has supplied data which
[4357]originate with Eaitians other than Charles, and, therefore, that
[4358]Brun fs not nerely Charles's mosthpiece. Specifically, Louis —
[4359]LTeveque and Alfonse Lahens are two of Srin's Eaitian sources. Leveque

[4364]4. We are not concerned with Charles, but are very much
[4365]so with Brun. We do not believe that Broa is involved in any current
[4366]revolutionary scheme in Haiti. We are, however, disturbed at the c2-
[4367]professional way in which Brun hendled the questions concerning foreign
[4368]companies in Haiti. We did not request =run to consult Charles about
[4369]the requirements on foreign companies and in view of tne manner in waich
[4370]Brun handled ovr requirements we shall contime only to eccept informa-

[4372]and shall refrain from briefing him. We have requested our DD/I

[4374]Unless this evaluation is unfavorable, we shall contimue to exploit
[4375]Brun in the manner just descrited. Insofar as contact between Brun

[4784]SUBJECT : DCS Case 47540 ~ Contact with
[4785]Louis A. Brun/Clerard Joseph Charles
[4787]1. On 29 July 1969, Station Port au Prince advised
[4789]questions concerning the Heitian econoay to an offictal
[4790]of the United States Embassy in Port su Prince. The list
[4792]Governzent format and, although sterile, appeared to be
[4793]datelligence requirements. Charles told the Enbassy
[4794]official that he had just firisbed a “big job” for the
[4795]Pentagea and implied that the List also cane from the
[4796]Pentagon. The Exnbassy official suspected that Charles
[4797]bad passed a copy of the list to the Kational Palace.
[4799]2. On 2 August, a representative of the WH/Haitt
[4800]Desk contacted lr. George Husulin, Operational Support
[4802]had briefed Hr. Louis A. Brun and had orally passed a
[4803]sist of CIRL requirements to Brun concerning Haiti prior
[4804]te his trip to Haiti during the week of 22 July.
[4806]Br. Masulin speculated that Brun had probably noted the
[4807]GCS requirements on paper and then had passed a copy
[4809]to Charles upon his arrival in Haiti.
[4811]3. Yor a nwuzaber of years, the United States Govern-
[4812]ment hag been aware of the political anbitions of Charles
[4813]and his alleged plotting to overthrow tte Duvalier regime.
[4814]In 1967, this rather open plotting led to his imprison=-
[4815]ment fer over one year. . Also, since Hay 1963, Charles
[4816]has been trying to obtain support from the United States
[4817]Governnent for his plots but he haa been consistently
[4818]rebuffed. Charles is not held in bigh esteem by U.3, .
[4819]officials and his motives are highly questionable. He.
[4820]eves his position in Haiti to his relationship with
[4821]Duvalier and his ability to successfully manage sose of

[4851]Charles enjoys no political foliowing and even the *plois”
[4852]with which he is associated are viewed vith considerable
[4853]veseree. Por examnle, ve have never been able to confirn
[4854]that Charles was involved vith the "military junta” forred
[4855]in May 1369, as he claimed. In February 1959, the U.8.
[4857]in Port au Prince comecnted that, with regard to
[4858]the most recent plotting of Charles, “the possibility
[4859]eannot be excluced that Charles....cocld be a provccation
[4860]to determine the real rotives of the Usited States Govern=
[4861]went towards the Duvalier regime.” We concur in the —
[4862]Babassy's view.
[4864]1. 4. During the past three ycers, the YH Division has poy
[4865]H been kept advised of the contact between DCS sad Brun and
[4866]i! his relationship vith Charles. We are aleo avare froa
[4868]H DCS end cther sources of the efforts by Brun to obtain
[4870]i! ; support from the United Ststes Government for Charles.
[4872]Hi Brun is, of course, a close collaborator oz Cnarles 2nd
[4874]a business representative of his in New York City. Brun
[4875]has contacted officials of the Department of Defense,
[4877]the Devartment of State, and even a person with access to
[4878]Presicent Johnson on Charles‘ behalf. The Chief of
[4879]Caribbean Affairs of the Departnent of State cstegorically : :
[4880]told Bren in June 1967 that the United States Government j
[4881]ves not interested in supporting the plots of Charlies or
[4882]‘anyone else against Duvalier, but this advice seems to
[4883]have fallen on deaf ears. The wost recent exazple of
[4884]Brun's lebbying eas in Hay 1959 when Brun passed on to
[4886]DCS a request from Charles for a secret meeting between
[4888]a U.S. envoy asd o representative of tke "military juxta.™
[4889]Brun's involvement with Charles requires that he be con-
[4890]sidered a biased source of information. While sone of the
[4891]information Brun has obtained fron Cherles haa been of .
[4892]interest, there is hardly anything that sas not available
[4893]through other channels and indeed, much of it was slanted.
[4895]. §. As wes set. forth in WH/7 memoranda to the
[4896]Gperational Support Staff, DCS, on 15 July 1968 and
[4897]28 May 1969, we inteorpose no objection to DCS saintaining

[4991]B. HIPA-2443 dated 29 July 1969
[4992]ACTION REQUIRED: See Paragraph 5.
[4994]1. The Station would like to offer its views on
[4995]the WCDISG contact, through Identity of Paragraph 1
[4996]Reference A (hereinatter IDZN), with 202-357029, as well
[4997]as cn the question of the requirezents which 201-357029
[4998]gave LNFURE and which were forwarded to Headquarters in
[4999]Reference B.
[5001]2. Since IDEN has been told that his contact is with
[5002]LNSHOE and since he has told 201-357029 that fact, and since
[5003]261-357029 has apparently, in his nind at least,converted that
[5004]fact into contact with RVROCK, and has probably spread both
[5006]. stories with his associates and thereby throughout the ‘ocal
[5007]milieu, we have, in erfect, a dangerous security situation.
[5008]When we consider that the aysay receives all tne intormation
[5009]that 201-357029 gives ID= most ot the time receives .
[5010]the information directly prom Wis eu78° then we have an
[5011]operation that is difricult to justity.
[5013]me rian dean dren nittdhny hee ta
[5015]wai ed
[5017]3. In the case of the requirements forwarded with
[5018]Reference B, we have a situation in which WODISH levied.
[5019]requirese. on 2U1-357029, through IDEN. 201-357029
[5021]then turned those requirements over to LNPURE which returned
[5022]“then via 201-357029 and IDEN to WCDISH. Why not cut out che
[5023]middleman and the security conplications, and save the headaches?
[5025]oo 4& The Station teels that the ISH handling of 201-357029 —
[5027]- results in a case that has the potential of causing severe ;
[5028]oblens for AKULE, and that it could well be that AKULZ will
[5029]made to bear the blame since elements within RVROCK might

[5137]SUBJECT 2 DCS Case 47540 ~ Contact with Loule A.
[5138]Brun/Clenard Joseph Charles
[5140]1. On 39 July 1969, Station Port au Prince advised
[5141]that Clesard Joseph Charles had passed a list of nine
[5142]questions concerning the Haitian econosy to an official
[5143]of the United States Embassy in Port %u Prince. The List
[5144]of questions was written in Fagi:sh in standard 5.8.
[5145]Governeent forsat aad, although sterile, appeared to be : :
[5146]intelligence requirements. Charles toid the Eatbassy 3
[5147]official that he had just finished a “big jot" for. the
[5148]Pentagon end implied that the List also came from the
[5149]Pentagon The Exbassy official suspected that Charles . :

[5156]: 2. on 2 August, a representative of the WH/Haiti
[5157]Desk contacted Hr. George Musulin, Operational Support
[5158]Gtatf of DCT, apd learned that the DCS office in Hew York ’
[5159]haé briefed Mr. Louia A. Rrum and had orally passed 6 list 4
[5160]of CIRL requiresents to Brun concerning Waiti prior to his :
[5162]‘ trip to Haiti during the week of 21 July. Mr. Husulis ;
[5163]‘speculated that Brun had protably noted the DCS requirerents. oo
[5164]on paper and then had passed 2 copy to Charles upon his °
[5165]arrivel in Haiti. ;
[5167]3. Yor a surber of years, the United States Governsent
[5168]has been avere of the political ambitions of Charles and
[5169]hia altezed plotting to o-erthrow the Duvalier reqine In
[5170]1967, this rather open plotting led to his imprisoproat for :
[5171]‘ over one year. Also. since May 1963. Charles has teen trying 3
[5172]a to obtain support from the United States Covermzent for his ;
[5173]plots but he bas teen consistently ‘rebuffed Charies is not
[5174]held in high esteen by U.S. officials and his motives are
[5175]highly questionabic He owes his position in Haiti to his
[5176]relationship with Duvalier and his abiiity to succeasfully
[5177]panage sone of the nore notorious financial rackets of the
[5178]regine Charles enjoys no political following and even the |
[5179]“plote” with which be is. associated are viewed with con-

[5212]U.B. Robansy in Port au Prise commented that, with regard

[5245]i  -'4960, we interpose no objection to DCS paintaining contact :
