[2432]: . r
[2433]: SUBJECT: Arthur G, VAIVADA — Request for Fromotion .. :
[2435][
[2437]1. It is requested that Arthur G. Vaivada, a Career Agent, be promoted
[2438]from GS-11 to grade GS-12 for his outstanding performance in carrying out a
[2439]: precaricus mission in line with the objectives of Project AMPHODARCH, in
[2440]; ‘which he 4s the Principal Agent. .
[2442]2. In early Jantary 1958, Vaivada volunteered to undertake a mission to = io
[2443]contact Cuban rebel leader Fidel Castro Ruz in the Sierra Maestra mountains oo :
[2445]; in south-eastern Cuba. He arrenged-for his free passage into the Sierras
[2446]through contacts within the 26 July Movement which ‘he and the Station.
[2448]vy developed earlier. After the necessary arrangements, Vaivada left La Habana
[2449]on 5 April 1958 for Santiago de Cuba, from where he left for the Sierras -
[2450]under the escort of rebel guides. In-the-course of approximately twenty
[2452]days' stay at the mountain hideout of Castro's headquarters, during which
[2453]time he was exposed to many hardships and great pergonal risks, he accompanied
[2454]Castro and a force of about. 200 rebels on their daw attack on the town of
[2456]7 Manzanillo on 26 March 1958 At Manzanillo, Vaiveda broke off contact with
[2458]: the Cuban rebels and returned to his base in Habana.
[2460]3. During bis relatively short stay in the Sierra Haestra mountains,
[2461]- _.  Vatvada was able to gather considerable intelligence and operational
[2462]information of noteworthy value, together with an excellent photographic
[2463]coverage of his trip. . i
[2465]4. This exploit is another achievezent to be added to the impressive
[2466]past performances of arthur G, Vaivada, who has always shown a deep devotion.
[2467]to his work and to the Agency. .
[2469]5. Vaivada was born on 20 June 1922, and has been with CIA since 1919.
[2470]_ He has been a career agent since 1 June 1957, ana was promoted to the grade
[2471]/@f GS-11 on 1 June 1957... His tour of duty in Cuba was from August 1954 until
[2472]32 March 1958.

[3960]1. In recent conversations with both JRy and ROS, Subject hag
[3961]broachea the prospect of a possible assignment within the U.,-S. follow-
[3962]ing completion of nis Habana assignrent. He Says he would not wmt his
[3963]Statements re reassignment wnich were recently forwarded to Headquartars
[3964]to be interpreted to mean tnat he is not interested in au. 5S. tour. He
[3965]Says that he has been giving micn thought to his future career, as wel)
[3967]as to the needs of nis family, He points out tnat he personally has now
[3969]Spent approximately. 16 years, excepting vacations and snort training.
[3971]; periods, living ma working outside tne U, S., that nis two cnilaren
[3973]have never lived tnere, and tnat voth hé and his wire are concerned
[3974]that too mich time will elasse betcre they can provide their children
[3975]with a period in the U.S, during their formative years.
[3977]@. It is the opinion of both HDS and JkP that Subject is at a
[3978]point in his career development wnere a tour at Headquarters would
[3979]be extremely beneficial, The Station lacks knowledge conceming the
[3980]Specific Heaaquarters jobs to which a person of Subject’s status might
[3981]be assigned; but it is our understanding that OTR soretimes empleys
[3982]these persons as instructors, ie believe that a tour with Uik would
[3983]not only remedy in great measure deficiencies in Subjest’s background ~
[3984]caused by lack of daaiquarters experience, but would at the sams tine
[3985]afford OR excellent instructor material,
[3987]3- In view of Subject’s own interest in such an assignment, and
[3988]our estimate of tos potential value to nim and to the Organization
[3989]that would accrue from it, we recomend that Heaiquarters arrange such
[3990]a assignment if at all possible.
[3992]hk. In view of the likelihood of Subject ’s transfer in the near’ ,
[3994]future, a prompt decision is requested.

[4678]SUBJECT : Request for Conversion cf Arthur G. WiTvsd: From
[4679]Contract to Staff Status
[4681]REFERENCE t HKH-A-2577
[4683]1. Referenced dispatch from the field recomnends the conversion
[4684]of contract agent Arthur G. VATFADA to staff status, and presents
[4685]& strong case for such conversion. VAIVAZA has served CLA in 2 cone
[4686]tract capacity since 199, with a continuous high level of perfcr-
[4687]mance; first in Costa Rica, later in Guatemala and Cuba, ie is cure
[4688]rently assigned to Cuba and is expecte’ to remain there indefinitely. : mn
[4689]VAIVADA is 3h years.old and was promoted recently to the equivalent’. , . a
[4690]of a GS-10 rating. His expressed cereer interests lie in contimed :
[4691]“employment by CIA, more especially in the area ofunofficial cover
[4692]assignments, for which he is highly suited. os . .
[4694]2. Unfortunately Subject's spouse (since 1945) is a Costa Rican
[4695]citizen, a situation which complicates his proposed conversion some- '
[4696]what. She has expressed a desira to acquire U.S. citizenship, however, vi i '
[4697]and it has been determined that this can be arranged within the next 7 on a
[4698]several months, barring unforeseen developments. She will be required fo | ue
[4699]“to spend most of this period in the U.S. and is currently making . SG H
[4700]. plans. to do so. ann : . .
[4702]3. In view of VAIVADA's outstanding record as a contract agent,
[4703]his strong overall qualifications, and his exvressed desire fora
[4704]career with CIA, it is recomended that he be eranted staff status
[4705]at grade GS-11, contingent yon his wife's first becoming a U.S.
[4706]citizen, and providing he can met Security and other requirements,
[4707]There is available in WH Division a staff. position (BAF-LO9) to
[4708]which VAIVADA can be assigned. — -
[4710]kh. WH Division contemplates bringing VAIVADA to the U.S. for
[4712]covert training in the near future.
[4714]Se Approval for the conversion of VAIVADA from contract to
[4715]staff status, as indicated above, is hereby requested.

[4832]SUBJECT 1 Proposed Staff Status for Arthur G. VAIVADA
[4834]REFERENCE 2 HEH~A-2577, 1? April 1956
[4836]1. Referenced dispatch ‘from the field recommends the conversion
[4837]of contract agent Arthur G. VAIVADA to staff status, -and presents a
[4838]good case for auch conversion. VAIVADA has served CIA-in a contract:
[4839]capacity since 1949 with a continuous high level of performance; first -
[4840]in Costa Rica, later in Guatemala and Cuba.. He is 934 years old and”
[4841]was ;:omoted recently to the equivalent.of a grade GS-10. His ox-—
[4842]pressed career interests lie in continued ezployment by CIA, more
[4843]€specially in the area of unofficial cover assignments; for which a
[4844]he is highly suited.
[4846]2. Unfortunately Subjectts spouse’ “(wince 19hS) 4s a Costa:
[4847]Rican citizen. Prelininary investigation at Headquarters bas revealed
[4848]that Subject's conversion to staff status is virtually out of the —
[4849]question so long as his wife remains an alien. It has also been de- H
[4850]termined, however, that the wife can acquire U.S. citizenship within. . '
[4851]a span of 5 days if she so desires and is willing to coms to the oo. : |

[4864]U.S. for that period of time.“ This would remove the na jor. stumbling
[4865]block to acquisition of staff status for’ VAIVADA. . “
[4867]3. In view of VAIVADA'a outstanding record as a contract agont, - :
[4868]his strong overall qualifications and his expressed desire for a ca- i
[4869]reer with CIA, it is recomsended that (a) VAIVADA's wifé be encoursged = -f :

[4871]be granted staff status, ‘contingent upon his wife's. first becoming . re Ca
[4872]a U.S. citizen, and providing he can meet all other ‘requirementa. _ a oT cee b
[4873]C/WH/III has endorsed the récommendation for staff status and a sug-. - Dope.
[4874]gestion by C/wH/Admin that BAF-L09, a new position currently alloted
[4875]to San Jose, be- transferred to ‘Habana to ‘be filled. by VaIWADA., .
[4876]ky It is further recoanenied that WH Division consider bring- |.
[4877]ing VAIVADA to the U.S. for covert training to coincide with his wife's
[4878]stay (at Headquarters! convenience). . This would. facilitate acqiisi- ~~

[5636]consideration has been given to a number of ideas, all of waich were ;
[5638]i rejected because vossible local conflicts. This. idea is still general
[5640]; enough (and I hope convincing) to leave opportunity for cnanges and/or i
[5641]improvesent at Headquarters, The idea, and the terminology, was
[5642]gleaned from the pages of "Investrent in Cuba", a July 1956 stucy
[5643]published by the U.S. Department of Commerce,
[5645]2. As I understand this cover arrangement, the PSI sheuld mail ne’
[5646]a directive somewhat along the lines of the enclosed information, This
[5647]should "hold us" for a couple of months, with rossibly some queries from _
[5648]’ mé occasionally, Then when our operetional picture requires investigation :
[5649]; in some particular field, PSI can be notified through the Station to
[5650]request a survey or poll in that field. -
[5654]3. On the basis of the enclosed "directive" (plus stationary and
[5655]allied materials) I can consult a local lawyer as to the registration
[5656]of this "Agency" and then advise PSI as to the legal requirement.
