[183]Cover for Peter J. Pi Gerveno
[184]ACTION REQUIRED - REFERENCES
[186]1. The cever for Peter J. Di Gerveno was discussed by Robert S.
[187]Hunkeler, Ghester B, Dagnillo and the undersigned on 7 and 9 November
[188]1967, The purpose of the conversations was to determine the most
[189]suitable cover to. be used under the broad umbrella offered by
[190]Punkeler's various enterprises.
[192]2. The following conclusions were reached:
[194]a. That Di Gerveno will come to Caracas as the
[195]representative for some of flunkeler's sales lines.
[196]Specifically he will be the representative for IDENTITY-1,
[197]which is Hunkeler's marketing firm.
[199]b. In addition to representing IDENTITY-1, generally,
[200]he will specifically be IDENTITY-I's sales agent for IDENTITY=2;
[201]IDENTITY=3; and IDENTITY-4 and possibly for IDENTITY-5.
[203]3. IDENTITY-2 is the manufacturer of a wide variety of
[204]industrial epoxy products used in the construction industry and
[205]as anti-corrosive coatings required by nost petroleum companies
[206]in Venezuela. Hunkeler has conducted talks with IDENTITY-6, a
[207]large local holding company engaged in a broad varicty of business
[208]enterprises. I[NENTITY-6 is interested in marketing the IDENTITY-2
[209]line. As sales agent for [PENTITY-1, Di Gerveno would also serve
[210]as a technical advisor to IDENTITY-6, and would not interfere with
[211]IPENTITY-6's marketing activities. Under these circumstances Ni Gerveno
[212]would enjoy a degree of immediate sponsorship by an important local
[213]firm which should assist in the rapid solidification of his status
[215]cover.

[251]4, IPENTITY-©3 is a line of liquid fertilizer in which
[252]IPEXTITY-6 is also interested, However, since the local fertilizer
[253]industry enioys protection in the forn of imrert licensine restrictions,
[254]it will take from one te two years of nezotiation te letermine whether
[255]the GOV will permit the importation of this line. fi Gerveno would, in
[256]conjunction with IDENTITY=6, represent [DENTITY-1 in the negotiations
[257]to obtain such permission, Again, this rele would provide a degree of
[258]sponsorship by IDENSITY-6 and would enable Pi Gerveno to at least mect
[259]significant government officials. While his oreraticnal objectives”
[260]do not involve the GOV as a target, he could provide assessment and
[261]other operational data useful avainst this target.
[263]S. INENTITY-4 produces a line of concrete hlock manufacturing
[264]machinery and accessories. There little doubt that as capital
[265]equipment, these can he imported into Venezuela--but the number of
[266]prospective buyers is limited. Such a line would not of itself support
[267]Di Gerveno's cover, but would be a satisfactory supplement there to
[268]which would be useful in explaining the fact that he will not devote
[269]his full time to any one activity--and to account for at least that
[270]portion of his income which could not be justified on the basis of
[272]his work on behalf of IDENTITY-2 and -5.
[274]6. IDENTITY-5 produces wrought iron for the utility industry.
[275]IPENTITY-1 is considering accepting representation for IDENTITY=5 on
[276]a hemisphere wide basis. - If this line is accented, and bi Gerveno
[277]represents it locally, it will also help to enhance his status and to
[278]account for what would normally be an unusual work pattern.
[280]7. We do net wish at this point to get into a detailed
[281]discussion of financial arrangements. If, as we hope, Pi Gerveno
[282]does make some sales, commissions will be payable to hin. If under
[283]existing regulations he could keep at teast a proportion of these,
[284]we would favor it as an incentive to work at his cever. {f not, we
[285]have confidence that he is a weil enough disciplined nrofessional,
[287]to work at it in any event.
[289]8. Ne would expect that the operational duties we have planned
[290]for Di Gerveno will take about 29 hours a week. This would involve
[291]meetings with the inside case officer; meetings with the agents;
[292]preparation of contact reports, drafts of cables, intei reports and
[293]dispatches, plus some time to think about his operations.
[295]. o spend the balance of his work
[297]week actually performing cover duties, fis pattern cannot be neatly:
[298]defined as four hours for cover and four hours daily for operations.
[300]Ilis daily pattern will vary widely and he must retain flexibility in
[301]order to be available when needed for operational duties, Nevertheless,
[302]to reiterate, he will have time for cover work and will be expected to
[304]do it.
[306]’ tt. Under these circumstances, we desire that he be thoroughly
[307]trained in his cover duties and that he have a thorouch knowledge of the
[308]products he is to sell. If it takes 6 months to train it--we expect
[309]the 6 months to be used, As part of the training, an! to onen the doer
[310]for his PCS arrival, when he has completed cover training with IDENTITY-1
[311]through 4 (or 5), he and Hunkeler shewld visit Caracas tesether.
[313]Nd Gerveno can be introducted by Hunkeler to his comrercial contacts,
[314]they can seck of fice snace, and, generaliyv, lay the ereundverh for
[315]hi Gerveno's PCS arrival shortly after the exploratory trip.
[317]9 We would expect Di Gerveno t
[319]WW. Please keep us advisec on action taken, and precress en this
[321]rronosial.
[323]12. Just befere the release of this dispatch we have learned of
[324]Subject's death. This is a cause for real regret--but we would like to
[325]ask Headquarters to retain this cover proposal and to seek a possible
[326]substitute for i Gervenc who will have not only soo¢ knowledge of the
[327]Spanish language, but sufficient commercial background tc fit, into the

[889]NONOFFICIAL COVER REQUEST
[890]FOR INDIVIDUAL
[892]To insure the most effective application of nonofficial cover, it Is
[893]essential that cover requirements be brought to the attention of Central
[894]Cover Staff in the earlicst stages of planning. As soon as it has been
[895]determined that an agent is to be placed under nonofficial cover, either
[896]in the United States or abroad, a mecting with a representative of
[897]Central Cover Staff should be arranged. (When outside recruitment of
[898]an agent for a nonofficial cover assignment is contemplated, Central
[899]Cover Staff facilities are available to facilitate “clean” recruilments and
[900]protect the agent against identification with CIA during the integration
[901]period.) Initlal discussions will be informal and exploratory and should
[902]:result in the elimination of unsuitable cover possibilities. Central Cover
[904]“Staff, Nonofficial Cover Branch telephone extensions are 5144 and 5122.
[906]Following the initial discussion, and based upon it, a cover require-
[907]ment memorandum signed by or for the operating division chief should
[908]be submitted to Central Cover Staff. It is specifically requested that a
[909]headquarters case officer other than the agent himself be designated
[910]to deal. with Central Cover Staff in the development of the desired non-
[912]' + official cover, including the preparation of the cover requirement mem-
[914]orandum, in order that this development may proceed on a completely
[915]objective basis. This memorandum may be keyed to the paragraphs
[916]numbered- below to obviate repetition.
[918]No commitments will be made with any cover organization ‘until!
[919]Central Cover Staff has been advised by memorandum that the proposed
[920]cover and the agent’s participation in the operation have been concurred
[921]in by the field and/or the Chief of Operations, DD,/P. Such memoranda
[922]are to be signed by or for the division chief. Each agent proposed for
[923]a nonofficial cover assignment is subject also to personal interview by a
[924]designee of Chief, Central Cover Staff, for assessment as to his suit-
[925]ability for the proposed cover. This interview, when required, will be
[926]requested by Central Cover Staff.
[928]At the conclusion of the discussions with the operating divisions and
[929]discussions between representatives of Central Cover Staff and the cover
[930]organization, two formal documents ordinarily will be prepared:
[932]a. The first, a “Letter of Cover Instructions” addressed ta the agent
[933]will be prepared by the Central Cover Staff. It will outline exactly
[934]the cover story to be employed and will specify what is expected
[935]of the agent to maintain a proper relationship to the cover fa-
[936]cility. Each item in the instructions will be discussed with the
[937]agent and/or his case officer by the Central Cover Staff case officer,
[938]after which the agent will be required to acknow-edge the receipt
[939]of these instructions. The branch chief concerned will also be

[958]an Agency-controlled mechanism, a “Letter of Understanding”

[962]“he “Letter of Understanding” and the “Letter of Cover Instructions”

[1130]transfer to an official cover status; (c) assignment to headquar-

[1183]personnel, cover facility officials, and those listed under 2(C)
[1184](4) above), who are or will be made witting of agent's CIA or
[1185]U.S. Government affiliation while he is under this nonoflicial cover.

[1189]The city in which the agent is to reside should be spectficaily
[1190]stated and alternates in order of preference should be given
[1192]. Indicate localities outside of agent’s permanent: location which
[1194]agent should be free to visit and state the frequency and duration

[1198]agent or dictated by influences or circumstances beyond his con-
[1199]trol. .

[1203]It is sometimes possible to relate a cover to a particular group
[1204]in the operational area, te. social, cultural, political, commercial.
[1205]If this is considered an important factor in the cover, this aspect
[1206]of the requirement should be explained in detaul.

[1211]quires overt (cover) explanation for a reasonable approximation
[1212]of the sum actually to be available to the agent through Agency
[1213]salary and allowances. However, a professional inteliigence
[1214]agent's qualifications frequently cannot plausibly command an
[1215]ostensible income from conmmercial or other lay sources nearly
[1216]approaching his Agency income. Firm understanding shou'd be
[1217]had relative to the agent's living within his cover income. Reser-
[1218]vation of a portion of his Agency remuncration may be required.
[1220]A less desirable alternative is the provision of additional cover
[1221]for income.
[1223]. Estimate of the minimum number of hours per week which the
[1225]agent must devote to operational duties.
[1227]. Communications channels desired
[1229]In rare instances it may be possible to set up SW means of com-
[1230]munication through the cover facility. If this is desired, the
[1232]justification and frequency of such communication facilities
[1233]Should be indicated.
[1235]. Cover Suggestions
[1237]Any specific cover suggestion or preferences expressed elther
[1238]by the agent or the operating division emphasizing the agent's
[1239]special suitability to the cover suggested and,‘or the special ad-
[1240]vantages of the cover vis-a-vis the target.

[1355]MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, WH/3 “=
[1356]FROM 3 Chief, WH/3/Venezuela
[1357]SUBJECT : Assignment of Emilio Rodrigues
[1359]1. I wish to make it clear that I do not oppose
[1361]_the assignment of Rodrigues per se to Venezuela, but I
[1362]do have some reservations on what he is going to be
[1363]doing. COS, Caracas intends to use him as the case
[1364]officer for the CIHAVOC and CITILT Projects. Since both
[1365]are basically CBE/CI projects I think this is a great
[1366]Mistake. The amount of research in these projects
[1367]necessarily requires a great amount of files research
[1368]which Rodrigues in his cover situation will not be
[1369]able to do. This will entail a greater amount of work
[1370]for the inside case officer, defeating the purpose for
[1371]which Rodrigues was originally considered; freeing the
[1372]inside case officer for developmental work.
[1374]~ 2. The intoduction of Rodrigues into the CIHAVOC
[1376]Case will also intoduce one more step through which most
[1377]of the vital information that CIHAVOC-2 produces must
[1378]pass. For example, his info now goes through CIHAVOC-1
[1379]to the case officer. With the addition of Rodrigues
[1380]one more time consuming step will be added.
[1382]3. I am also of the firm opinion that different
[1383]case officers should be used for these operations
[1384]since beth are penetrations of the same party and at
[1385]times produce similar info. In addition, both are
[1386]extremely sensitive and.the compromise of one could
[1387]possibly lead to the compromise of the other.
[1389]4. I£ Rodrigues was assigned to Caracas for the
[1390]handling of a sensitive case which exposure would be
[1391]embarrassing to the United States, such as a high level
[1392]political penetration or a sensitive Soviet/Satellite
[1393]Case then it would be well justified. However, I feel
[1394]that his assignment as an outside case officer for
[1395]these two activities is not since they could be better
[1396]handled and serviced from the inside.

[1405]Page 2 18 August 1967
[1407]jl .
[1409]5. Finally, the cost of placing Rodrigues in the ‘
[1410]field is not commensurate with his planned utilization.
[1411]It will cost over $49,000 for the first year and
[1413]appraximately $35,000 per year from then on. See
[1415]attached approximate schedule prepared by WH/Support.
[1417]An amount the current budget cannot easily absorb.

[2360]Action Required: As Indicated
[2362]1, The present contract with Robert S, HUNKELER expires on 31
[2363]March 1967 and the question of renewal is up for immediate treatment
[2364]and decision, The paragraphs below outline the major factors to be-
[2366]‘considered in this matter. — -
[2368]2, HUNKELER is a former staff officer who resigned from WOFACT
[2369]in 1964 to establish a market research and marketing firm, He was
[2370]recontacted in the spring of 1965 and employed as an independent con-
[2371]tracter by the then COS, JMWAVE, who expressed the hope that this
[2372]relationship might set a standard fox use by WOFACT of former staff
[2373]officers as long term clandestine assets and outlined HUNKELER's duties
[2375]and responsibilities as follows:
[2376]a. To provide cover for WOFACT personnel abroad,
[2378]b, Spotter and assessor of Central American consular
[2380]community in Niami.
[2381]c. Spotter and assessor of recruitment targets throughout
[2382]Latin and Central America as developed through his travels and contacts.
[2384]Third party recruiter and agent handler, but only in
[2386]d.
[2387]certain carefully controlled circumstances,
[2389]3. These criginal concepts framing HUNKELER's activities have
[2390]continued as the major guide lines to his employment, Also added was
[2391]the task of. reporting such positive and operational intelligence as he
[2392]might elicit from his contacts and associates, .

[2426]4. The following summarizes the progress that was made in these
[2427]areas during the two year period of HUNKELER's contract status with us,
[2429]&. Cover was provided for a Berlin based agent, AMTHRILL/1,
[2430]Although the agent was terminated by Berlin Station, management of his
[2431]cover was competently and professionally handled by HUNKELER, HUNKELER
[2432]has continued to offer his services to WOFACT in this respect and,
[2433]although he could provide a cover office anywhere in the Latin American
[2434]sphere, has Specifically Suggested Haiti) the Dominican Republic, Costa
[2435]Rica and Venezuela, He is -now in the process of opening, on his own
[2436]initiative, branch offices in Venezuela and the Dominican Republic and
[2437]. again volunteered them for possible use as cover, According to HUNKFLER
[2438]Station Caracas has shown some interest in taking advantage of the offer
[2439]There has been no other use by WOFACT of this HUNKELER potential during
[2440]‘the past two years $°- Such use dn the future is an open question depend-
[2441]ing in part on whether WOFACT has a-requirement for cover facilities
[2442]such as this, and in part on the nature of our relationship with HUNKELE
[2444]b, HUNKELER has met frequently with members of the Central
[2445]and Latin American consular community in’ the Miami area, These &assoc-
[2446]dations were enhanced by HUNKELER‘ts activity and participation in
[2447]several international organizations concerned with business and social
[2448]relations among Latin and North American countries, Some operational
[2449]information was gathered about these Persons, but none of them ever
[2450]shaped up as a valid’ intelligence target worthy of further development
[2451]and recruitment, It is not expected that this target area will be of
[2452]any more interest in the future than it is now,
[2456]c. HUNKELER has a large nunber of business associates through
[2457]out Latin America and in his travels has contacted a number of governmen
[2458]_ officials up to the presidential level, Most of these contacts have
[2459]_ been of a business nature, One of them, a Panamanian legislator, is of
[2460]some interest to the Panama Station, Interest in the others has been
[2461]minimal, Future prospects remain open, but must be considered as long
[2463]range,
[2465]d, There has been no use made of HUNKELER as a third party
[2466]recruiter and agent handler during his.two year tenure, He has de-
[2467]clared himself always ready and willing to take on agent handling tasks,
[2468]but the Station has found it more advantageous and efficient to use
[2469]inside personnel for this, It ig highly unlikely that station Policy
[2471]will change in this regard,
[2473]4. HUNKELER has been on several business trips during this period,
[2474]On these occasions he was given an intelligence brief and his operation-
[2475]al expenses were defrayed by WOFACT, The results, in terms of dissemine
[2476]ated reports, have generally been negative,
[2478]5. Recently, HUNKELER provided an introduction to some individuals
[2479]who have a potential for use in the JMUNION program, There was some
[2480]discussion of continued activity for HUNKELER in this program, but it
[2481]was the consensus that there was not sufficient promise in his contri-
[2482]bution to merit retaining him for this purpose alone, It can ba ex-
[2483]pected, hcewever, that he might, in the future, assist in entree to
[2484]other persons of JMUNION interest,
[2486]6. Station JMWAVE is of the opinion that employment of Robert S,
[2487]HUNKELER has not had tho results that were hoped for when the contract-
[2488]ual relationship was first established, Recognition of this was implici
[2489]in the renegotiation of his salary scale from $4800 to $3600 Per annun
[2490]in March 1966 at the end of his first year's contract, It is also the
[2491]opinion of this Station that there is little likelihood of improvement
[2492]in the near future although it is recognived that a long range potential
[2493]exists, These statements are made without prejudice to Robert S,
[2494]HUNKELER, who has at all times taken a responsible, willing and coop-
[2495]erative attitude in his relationships with Station representatives. and
[2496]discussions of tasks and tho prospects of future employment, It should
[2497]be noted that HUNKELER wants very much to retain some form of rulation-
[2498]ship with the organivation, as much for reasons of interest in the
[2499]intelligence profession an for incese he might derive,

[2524]Headquarters Action Requested
[2526]it is JMWAVE's view that HUNKELER's only actual
[2527]potential value to WOFACT is as a support agent to WH Division as a
[2528]whole, in, supplying unofficial cover and possibly in spotting, develop-
[2529]fag, and-recruiting CMUNION assets. His value to operations of JMWAVE
[2530]Station itself will be non-existent or minimal, since there is ‘ttle
[2531]HUNKELER can do for that Station which cannot be accomplished more
[2532]easily by a staff employee. Therefore, it is requested that Head-
[2533]quarters review this case and comment as soon as possible, The
[2535]alternatives are;
[2536]Renewal of contract as it is at present salary of $3600
[2538]7. To summarize,
[2540]a.
[2541]per annum,
[2545]; b. Terminate, HUNKELER has advised that he is not prepared
[2546]to accept a salary under his present level, It is suggested that the
[2547]following representative memoranda also be read in this connection:
[2549]UFGT 18719, Memorandum 4n Lieu of Fitness Report
[2550]UFGA 26782, Unofficial Cover Opportunity, Caracas

[2553]UFGA 26170, HUNKELER Visit to Haiti
[2555]-
[2556]8, The above was outlined to Robert S, HUNKELER on 15 February
[2557]1967 by his present Case Officer, Jeremy F. GEDLAND, After an object-
[2558]dive and frank discussion, HUNKELER requested that he be permitted an
[2559]opportunity to prepare & memorandum setting forth his views.on the
[2560]situation and further asked that it be forwarded to Headquarters in
[2561]conjunction with the present memorandum, The Case Officer agreed that
[2562]he should be granted the chance to so express himself and to be heard
[2563]on all levels where his employment was being treated of. HUNKELER's
[2565]memorandum is attached.

[2727]MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
[2728]SUBJECT: Operational Review of Robert S, Hunkeler
[2730]DATE: 16 “ebruary 1967 ee
[2732]Backgrounds
[2733]1. Shortly after Hunkeler resigned from KUBARK he
[2735]met with the then Chief of Station on several occasions
[2737]concerning Hunkelers potential use as a Station asset.
[2739]It was between the period following his resignation, and
[2740]before his first contract with the Station, that the COS
[2741]told Hunkeler that he wain a "cooling off period" during
[2742]which time Hunkeler should devote hig energies towards’ the
[2743]settlement of his personal affairgand the development of
[2744]his own business interests. Hunkeler was also told that
[2745]his value to the Station and to KUBARK would be increased
[2746]if he were free from all ties with KUBARK and ODYOKE in
[2747]‘order that Hunkeler may be available at a later date for
[2748]KUBARK assignments. The COS did not, however, make any
[2750]commitments to Hunkeler.
[2752]Developments:
[2753]2. During the months which followed Hunkelers resignation
[2755]he proceeded to attend to his personal affairs in Lakeland,
[2757]Florida, and established his company, Identity A, in the
[2759]WAVE area.
[2761]14.90000
[2765]3. After a number of months had lapsed, Hunkeler
[2766]was contacted by the Station COS and was recruited under |
[2767]a contract in the amount of $500.00 a month plus operational
[2769]expensese Hunkeler expressed a willingness to undertake
[2772]any assignment and a desire to actively participate in
[2774]operations. (His initial target was largely limited to \
[2775]the monitoring of the activities and the personalities of
[2776]the foreign consular corp in the WAVE area and reporting
[2778]on matters of operational interest as they came to Hunkelers
[2779]attention.) |
[2782]i
[2784]4.. Shortly after Hunkeler was placed under contract
[2786]he submitted a paper to the Station which spelled out a
[2787]number of specific tasks which he could, under the cover
[2789]of his company if required, undertake for the Station
[2791]or KUBARK, (Shese-escignments—ere—ctil)_eoemphable with -
[2792]-hie—present—eover—and—baskgroundy) There follows a list
[2794]of these tasks;
[2796](a) Sale of KURIOT doctored parts and supplies
[2797]to the government of PBRUMEN through middlemen
[2799]and ina manner as to not disclose Hunkelers
[2800]involvement.
[2802](bd) Providing non-official cover facilities
[2804]to persons being assigned overseas and who require
[2806]a tight, realistic and flexible cover,
[2808]14-0000
[2812](c) Recruitment pitches, courier work, or ©
[2813]related assignaents anywhere in Latin America.
[2814](ad) Monitoring of diplomatic and commercial
[2815]activities in the WAVE area.
[2816](e) Reporting on targets of operational
[2817]interest, both in the WAVE area and in those
[2818]countries where Hunkeler Visits.
[2820](f) Spotting and assessment of specific operational
[2821]. a
[2823]targets in the PBPRIME and in Latin America,
[2825]Review of Accomplishments:
[2827]56 Whereas Hunkeler remained ready and willing to
[2828]travel anywhere at anytime for any KUBARK assignment, he
[2829]was advised that his long range value would be jeopardized
[2831]if he were to take operational assignments involving any
[2833]degree of risk. Hunkeler was, in his opinion, "kept ina
[2834]vacuum" as regards his being able to serve ficld Stations
[2835]which have not to this date been made aware of his availability
[2836]to travel except in those cases when his business travel takes
[2838]to a country and the Field Station is advised of his presence
[2840]in the area.
[2842]6. From the outset Hunkeler began to report on develop=
[2843]ments in the WAVE area and he bagan to work in organizations
[2845]which would permit him to penetrate the diplomatic community
[2847]and strengthen his operational capabilities in terms of
[2848]being able to spot and aggess Latin American political
[2849]leaderse Hunkeler got him-self appointed to a policy
[2850]making position in the Identity B, he was elected to
[2851]the position of President of Identity C, appointed to
[2852]the Board of Directors of Identity D, was elected to
[2853]the position of President of Identity E, and became a
[2854]delegate to several conferences (Panana, Jamaica and
[2856]in PBPRIME) of the Identity F.
[2858]qT. It was largely as a result of Hunkelers Latin
[2860]American oriented commercial activities and his organizational
[2861]activities that he was able to provide timely and valuable
[2862]reports on the Dominican crisis, estatlish a personal
[2863]relationship with Identity @ and persons close to him,
[2865]spot and access several Fanamanian targets, and report
[2867]on the activities and recommendations of Identity H, an
[2868]organization which provides commercial policy to the President
[2869]of Panama.(See ) Hunkeler kept the Station
[2871]up to date on the personalities and activities of the Consular
[2872]Corp in the WAVE area, and has furnished assessments and
[2874]biographic information on 12 members of this group.
[2876]14.90000
[2880]8. Other accomplishments include the following;
[2881](a) Operational “escorting: During the last two
[2882]years Hunkeler has traveled to and submitted
[2883]operational and/or intel reports about Mexico,
[2884]the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, Venezuela,
[2885]Panama and Costa Rica, in addition to reports
[2887]originating in the WAVE area.
[2889](bv) Establishment of Cover Pacilities: In 1966
[2890]Hunkeler set up and maintained cover facilities
[2892]for an agent who was initially trained in Hunkelers
[2893]companies and subsequently assigned to a European
[2894]pest where he remained until a person#@1 reduction
[2896]cut caused his termination. The cover aspects of
[2898]this ccver operation, however, were tight and
[2899]professionally mmaged by Hunkeler, Other cover
[2900]facilities developed by Hunkeler in this period
[2901]included a cover office facility in Haiti, Venezuela
[2902]and the Dominican Republic.
[2904](c) Other: In late 1966 Hunkeler met with an Officer
[2905]assigned to the WAVE Station for the purpose of
[2906]reviewing the operational potentials of the Varibbeane
[2907]Hunkeler was able to provide the Officer with the
[2908]names and introductions to persons well known to
[2909]Hunkeler who are now in the “Caribbean or residing
[2911]in Miami and available to participate in Ment, DeBey
[2913]or informant capacities.
[2915]14-0000
[2917]Present Situation:
[2919]9. In early February, 1966, Hunkeler met with a Vase
[2920]Officer of the “racas Station who reviewed Hunkelers existing
[2921]business activities in Venezuela and who told Hunkeler that
[2922]the Caracas Station desired to use a Hunkeler company for
[2923]non-official cover purposes in Venezuela. The success
[2925]of Hunkelers commercial activities in the Dominican Republic
[2926](and the corresponding move by Hunkeler to open an office
[2928]in Santo Domingo) is a recent development and there has not
[2929]yet been time to query Station Sanio Domingo as to whether or
[2930]not they have a requirement to use Hunkelers facilitiess
[2931](Hunkeler is presently phasing out of much organizational
[2932]work in the WAVE area in order to devote more time .to the
[2933]chore of setting up his operations in Santo Domingo and
[2935]Venezuela where both of his companies are currently doing
[2937]business.)
[2939]106 There are several aspects of Hunkelers present business
[2940]activities which have not yet been finalized: He will soon
[2941]terminate his lease at his present address and has not yet
[2942]decided where to re-locate !:is offres; he is still in
[2943]negotiations with an investment group in Haiti and may
[2944]undertake a consultant type survey there which would provide
[2946]access to Haiti of possible interest to that Station.
[2948]Tle . When Hunkelers contract was about to expire in
[2949]Pebruary, 1966, he met with a Station Officer and advised
[2950]that he was fully in accord with a salary cut from $500.00
[2951]to $300.00 a month in keeping with budgetary cuts which
[2953]were evident at that time. Moreover, Hunkeler volunterily
[2954]ceased requesting reinbursement for operational expenses
[2955]choosing to use his KUBARK income for entertainment expenses
[2956]which oftines have operational value to KUBARK, Although he
[2957]has expressed his strong desire to continue his KUBARK
[2958]relationship under a renewal of his present contract for
[2959]$300.00 a month, he has advised that he does not care to
[2961]renew his contract for a figure of less than $300.00 a month.
