03/06/63: Memorandum from Harold F. Swenson, C/SAS/CI to Secretary, Clandestine Services Career Service Panel: Subject: Recommendation for Promotion of Mr. Joseph S. Piccolo: "1. It is recommended that Mr. Joseph S. Piccolo be promoted from GS-7 to GS-8. He has been in grade GS-7 since 19 July 1960 and was assigned to what is now the Special Affairs Staff (formerly Task Force W) on 27 August 1962. 2. As long ago as 16 June 1960 when he was a GS-6 Mr. Piccolo was considered to have merited promotion to GS-9, but the Agency policy precluding multiple grade promotions prevented his being considered for GS-9 at that time. He was promoted to GS-7 on 19 July 1960. On 4 May 1961 Mr. Piccolo was recommended for promotion to GS-8 at a time when he was expected to leave the Agency in order to comply with his obligation for military service. The recommendation was not approved on the grounds that promotion spaces were limited. Mr. Piccolo served in the Air Force between 4 October 1961 and 27 August 1962 when he retuned to the Agency and began working in the CI Branch of the Special Affairs Staff. 3. Mr. Piccolo has demonstrated an aptitude for CI and FI operations and is one of the most promising younger men in the CI Branch. His performance since returning from military service has been superior in all respects. 4. I am happy to recommend Mr. Piccolo for promotion. (Signature) Harold F. Swenson, C/SAS/CI. Recommend Approval: (Signature) Desmond FitzGerald, C/SAS."

STA received via NIBANK-24 Rabien and Stadtlander ships schedules which give about 10 days advance notice of ship arrivals. Schedules and ports often change however while ship still at sea. Vessels calling at (REDACTION) are almost always delayed additional few days to week or more thus further increasing advance notice. Large ships from Cuba usually unload sugar staying from 6 to 12 days. Smaller ships spend from 3 to 6 days. 3. Feel eventual ship sabotage would fall in four categories: machines, electronics, fuel and deep tanks used to carry petroleum on Maestra, Cienfuegos and lines. Assume tanks make these ships priority targets. Per ref STA will collect info on above target categories including plans if possible. NIBANK-22 has capability, if given chance repair electronic gear, to delay Cuban sailings. Member his company who aware N-22 clandestinely cooperating with 'NATO' has wartime experience in ship sabotage. STA studying possibility sabotage bunker fuel or cargo oil and will advise. 4. NIDRAGON-2 has warrant signed by local kings attorney enjoining him take every precaution prevent sabotage of Cuban ships. N-2 and his asst who both extremely cooperative with STA have used this warrant to check loading papers and cargoes providing STA in one or two instances with samples. N-2 volunteered to Fradyer some months ago that latter could go ahead with sabotage of Cuban vessels. Said he would look other way or carry on inconclusive investigations. Feel, however, that although he willing protect us, he unwilling actively participate in actual sabotage activities..."
