[27]1. Referent B forwards an analysis of possible Agency involvement
[28]with suspected criminal elements in the Bahamas. Referent A is a commentary
[29]on this analysis that details CCS relationships with individuais associated
[30]with a company that is reputed to be an employer of organized crime
[31]figures. No specific fact is presented that would legally raise the suspicion
[32]of the commission of a violation of law, morality or ethics by the U.S.
[33]citizen businessmen now cooperating with this Agency: Major General
[34]William P. Fisher (USAF-Ret.); Mr. John P. Roulett CUSN-Ret.); and

[38]2. In the sensitivity of this time, it would be imprudent not to
[39]recognize that mere proximity to unsavory elements is sufficient for some
[40]to suggest guilt by association. This Agency recognizing that. unfortunate
[41]fact of life has an obligation to protect the rights of those upon whom we
[43]"have prevailed to cooperate. The only direct method immediately, apparent
[45]is to sever our relationship with voiced gratitude for past services in the
[46]national interest. The timing proposed by C/CCS in referent A appears
[47]appropriate. ;
[49]3. It should be noted that General Fisher's son is a/DDO case officer,]
[50]That fact dictates that every effort be made-to contain the Substance of this”
[51]and referent memoranda to the narrowest possible audience to preclude
[53]unwarranted acrimony and suspicion until proof positive of eviljor criminal .
[54]_ activity is certain, which event is extremely doubtful.
