[66]PIT retirinary lebriefing Vuvta THER IA LT
[67]Tot Ba hae 20EO, CCRC AE IT
[69]1. Prior to my departure for Yew York to handle the preliminary
[70]debriefing cf THERTAULT, I discussed the following subjects with CA=5:
[72]RIAULT's expenses on her recent
[73]‘y'p te India have been ereater than was anticipated, /1,000
[74]aiiitianal funds have or are te te shortly deposited tc her bank.
[75]Thtg will be done by sterile checx. It {8s to be accounted for
[76]ander the terms of the criginal centract.
[78]i) In view of the fact that
[81]C’NFA-5 sugested that ' wake Aer reports up with me for
[82]vesaible annetation and expangien, {pon evarination on 14 May,
[83]this avpeara unfeasible in view of the fact that there are cr4
[84]coma {ndicators and RI symbole attached directly te the reports
[86]CNEA-S sugiested that ! pursue with THENiAULT the
[88]possibility of developing an interest in Krishna Menon, utilizing
[89]a cleared publisher who could request Menon te write a book. This
[90]a preack to be based on Menon's acute suaceptability to flattery.
[92]3)
[94]4) CNEA-5 sugrested that TUERLAULT be asked to review the
[95]areas of her inflvence in order tc lay the groundwork for an
[96]official {invitation to visit this country being extended to tle
[97]‘ydea “4ntater in the future. Ue suggested Sen. George and
[99]Ta
[101]Chestar Rowlesa «as possipie points of departure.
[103]Gs
[105]S$) THERTATLT is te be informed that her reports have been
[106]of ipreesurable agsigtanve te the Ambassador end to tha U.S.
[107]Gevernrent vis-d-vic policy zlenning for india.
[109]6) THERIAULT tg to be asked t> come to Washington for a day
[110]or sc in the very near future for further debriefing. This ie
[111]te be arranged at her convenience.
[113]7) In view of the fact that THERIAULT has been unvitting
[114]of the Agency's role in sponsoring her trip, I suggested that I s
[115]new make ner witting in terms of the seourity involved. It Q.
[116]seemed advisable to me since it is likely that there will be i
[117]future contacts with TIVRIAULT, CNEA-5 agreed to this. &
[119]#) THERIA"LT is to be advised that she is at liberty to af
[120]digeuss any and all aspects of her trip with anybody with the =)
[121]e ception of the agency's role in sponsoring it. OZ. <7
