05/24/61: FBI memo from R. O. L'Allier to Belmont: Subject: CARLOS MARCELLO ANTI-RACKETEERING: ..."Paul Loeb, Chief of Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) station in Guatemala, confided to the Bureau agent that he had been very much involved in working out arrangements whereby Marcello was accepted by the Guatemalan Government. It was Loeb's understanding that Attorney General Kennedy had conferred with Allen Dulles and had asked for the CIA Director's assistance in making certain that Guatemala accept Marcello as a citizen of that country. Loeb received instructions from his Headquarters to give the matter special handling. Loeb then went to President Miguel Ydigoras of Guatemala and explained to him that Marcello allegedly was a Guatemalan citizen; that the U.S. Government planned to deport him to Guatemala and that in order to effect this deportation it would be necessary for the Guatemalan Government to accept the subject. Loeb appealed to Ydigoras for full cooperation which was granted. At the time this took place the Guatemalan President insisted that the matter be handled quietly and that there be no publicity. Loeb informed Ydigoras that as far as he knew there would not be any publicity..."

We are returning Volume III of the MDC file which you sent with the reference for Headquarters to review as a sample of a group of 80 files which are no longer useful to the Station. Headquarters appreciates your interest in this aspect of records improvement, considering the need of retrieval, but would like to defer a decision until IDENTITY, a KUBARK (CIA) employee who is retiring soon but is now engaged in writing historical studies, can visit the Station to survey these files with others. 2. IDENTITY plans to to visit JMWAVE for several days about the end of July to size up and review certain records for writing a history of the Station. Therefore, we would like the 80 background files to be left intact for his visit. Afterwards a decision will be made on their retirement or other disposition. 3. If space for storing the files is crticial we will authorize forwarding them to Headquarters, but will prefer your holding them temporarily to assist with the historical research cited above.

Q: I see. A: At intervening periods of time. Q: When was this particular report prepared, the AMOTS? A: I think it was prepared in 1967 or '68. Q: It is a fairly lengthy document, isn't it? A: Yes.

Mr. SARNO: In the late '60s? Mr. WIDES: I thought so. I thought in '66 or '67, that is what I meant, that he had worked on the history of the AMOTS group. Mr. SARNO: Well, no. Mr. WIDES: Are you familiar with the written history of the AMOTS program? Mr. SARNO: I have never seen it. I had established the policy that every three months he had to write up about the group, so all of that, I understand, was all compiled into the history, so I don't know. Mr. WIDES: As part of the Miami Station? Mr. SARNO: As part of the Miami Station, so I don't think he was told in '66 or '67, start all over and prepare it.

Mr. SARNO: I supposed it would be The History of the AMOTS. Mr. WIDES: And you have never seen it? Mr. SARNO: I've never seen it.
