MEAIORANDUM FOR: Chief , SOG

Chief , LA Division 1 (`
SUBJECT, Mitchell Livingston Wvcrbel III
1 was advised by the Justice Department on 23 February that
werbel has been indicted and the trial is scheduled t Eegin on. 29 March
in Miami Florida:- The charges rclate to importing and' distributing
quantitics of marijuana _ With Werbel's propensity to raise his past
affiliations Ivith the Agency, we can anticipate problems tis trial,
An additional problem is presented because Kerbel is delended by Edwin
iiarger who was the Jefense attorney for John Hawk in the B-26,case in
Buffalo , Newv Ycrk in 1966. It was Edwvin Marger who subpoenaed the CIA
General Counsel as a-defense witness _
2 . The Justice Department has received information that & person
either currently or formerly affiliated with the CIA has been participating
in [icrbcl's meetings wvith his attorney _ It would bc apprcciated if all
addressees could review their holdings on Wferbel and detcrinine if there
is ary validity to any recent contacts with him _ I would urge that instruc-
'tions bc sent to Miami that no, repeat no, contact with Wcrbel take place
between now and the beginning of thc trial.
3 . It would be helpful if ejch addressee could prepare & summary
of the various contacts Werbel hag had wilh CIA in the past: Please check
to see if you have any information on
a Colonel Bayard wvho Ivas ki'lcd irt Atlanta , Gcorgia the summer of 1975_ Bayard , reportcdly an
associate of WVerbel's , had previous contacts Iith the 'Agency . It would
be appreciatcd if your responses could he received by close &f business

Morrisey with & Mr_ Mitchell L: WerBell , III , who; according 't0 our
[iles; has claimed United States Government and CIA
corncctions in'
the past. According to DEA _ WerBell reccntly isvoked :ke Frth Arenc_
mcnt whc: apzca. beforc Senatcr Jackson S Subcommi:tce investgating
DEA on wicfrcr or not he supplicd arms to Robert Vesco. PAlso, s;ila
not mentiozed in the press, at lcast one rctired CLA staffcr and possibly
two others may have becn involved with Concin and Morriscy- The ex-
staffer is John P_ Muldoon, a friend of Conein' $, who curzently is a Private sccurity specialist who has dcalt with Morrisey 1n tic purchasc
of audio suecping devices for hig busincss . Nuldoon was rerained by

SUBJECT: Mitchell Livingston WerBell JII (201-259910)
1~ Mitchell Livingston WerBell, who appcared in recert press
reports has for ovcr a pcfiod of ten years been claiming to be a
representative 0f the United States Government: and of CLA. The; (acts
do not support .this contention.
2 CLA first learned of WerBell in July o 1 959 when he contacted
General Cabel indicating knowledge ,of Cuban and 'Dominican affairs.
Xr. Thomas J. Flores of LA Division wa 5 in contact #ieh WcrBell
'and-considcred using him an Fl assct: A POA was grarted on
7 July 1959 for this purposc. By Octobcr. 1959 it was appares: that hc
did not have the access to information as hoped and hc apparently looked
association with CLA as' a means of furthering his various
business schemes. All contact was then severed:
3. From that time until thc prcscnt Mr. WerBell has cropped up
in a number 0f nefarious activities whcreby hc inferred he had CIA connections
or su?poft: He was reported to havc been involvcd in arms salcs to
Nicaragua and Guatemala_ in efforts to recognition by certain
South American countrics of tlc Cuban Government in Exile, and in an
abortive schcme to invade thc Republic of Haiti in 1966. He Js0 turned
up in Thailand wherc he contacted thc COS purporting-"to" be a countcF-
insurgency expert. In 1971 thc Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defcnsc
queried the Agency rc Mr. WerBcll, asking il WerBell had a contractua]
agreerent or association wvith thc Agency, a 5 Wcrbeil was awaiting a hcaring
before a Dprlment of Dfensc Examincr relatcd to his paficipation in
tke aboritve Haiti invasion. Thc Oflicc of the Geme ral Coinsel placed the
mafter in per spect:ve- Subsequently_ hc contacted the Azency to requesi
intercession on his behall to have his security clearance reinstated which
CoD revokcd bccause o( his Hjitian caper. Hc wJs told tris cculd rot bc
donc. In-[ 971 he again appeared in: Thailand attcm;rg {0 scil arins; Jn
1973 f was under invcstigation by U. S. Treasury @creju c ilccroi,
Tobacco Jnu Firearms and by Inc Unitcd Statcs Cusoms Scrvice (or 7 ctiilics
rclating t0 possible mc rcenary a tivitics in Alaco Island_ [a;mas. In
this corne clion WcrBell contactcd thrce CM cmployecs_ jonr D. A.ulecen,
#alie? j; Nackern Jn Tlcodore Koussos in 8 $ chere l6 :ce !hci; :n
the activities 0f an orginizalion falled the Frienas c A%aco {FJii whichis
advocating the seccssion of the islind (rom the Commonuealth o Bahamas.

thc effortto bring:Abaco'$ secession: In Scptcmbcr 1974 WerBcll

went to Grecce to scll arms to the Greck Govcrnment:
Most rc
cegtly WcrBcll reportedly appeared belorc Senator Jackson'$
