Pseudonym: Orrison, Samuel
A cable on PBSUCCESS, in February, 1954, stated that "Lincoln left Orrison file at HQs. Details on possible compromise known by IDENS A and B." A cable in April, 1954, mentioned that Orrison and Twicker (Howard Hunt) had fabricated a story in Mexico about the Guatemalan Government. Also, Samuel G. Orrison reported on April 19, 1954, that he met Fritz G. Lindley, a friend in New Orleans on April 9th. Lindley was Superintendent, Latin American Division, of the Pan-American Life Insurance Company. Lindley was mentioned in photograph and caption No. 12 of this article:

Lindley became one of the vice-presidents of the Foreign Relations Association of New Orleans in May, 1965. Lloyd Cobb was also associated with this organization.
A cable on December 10, 1960, had a handwritten note which said "Re 'Orrison affair'" at the top. The cable also mentioned that Joseph Langan, Chief of the CIA's Office of Security, planned to take Dudley J. Pachuke to Washington for a lie detector test ETA December 12, 1960. Then he would travel via Houston to conduct a security check on Pachuke's house. Therefore, both Pachuke (pseudo for Stanley M. Moos) and Orrison had a documented link to Houston, both worked in Mexico, and both had links to Howard Hunt.

Specific: Orrison Reports: "As of possible interest to the addressees, Orrison has submitted the two enclosed reports on some of his observations made in connection with the reference mission." - - - Page 4: 04/19/54: "Re: Pan-American Life Insurance Co.: En route to New York, between plane connections, 9 April, I had dinner in New Orleans with an old friend Fritz G. Lindley and wife, Martha. Mr. Lindley is Superintendent, Latin American Division for subject company. Mr. Lindley mentioned to me that they were going back into Guatemala and asked me what I thought about it. I told him that in my opinion any American investor should think twice before investing money in Guatemala at this time; not only because of the risk due to the shaky communist government, but also because they would be giving a great deal of aid and comfort to a government that was known to be communist dominated, but also was an outspoken enemy of the United States..."

104-10171-10432: MEETING WITH ORRISON AND TED HAMILTON, 14 NOVEMBER 1960
11/22/60: Contact Report from Wallace A. Parlett (Gerard Droller): "1. As prearranged, Orrison came to Miami from Mexico on 14 November. Orrison is - under the supervision of the Mexico Station - the case officer for JMARC (overall Cuban operations, including the Bay of Pigs project) matters in Mexico and, in this connection, he handles the AMRASP (FRD - Democratic Revolutionary Front) branch office in our behalf. Orrison was introduced into this complex by Hamilton, but whether or not Orrison is known as a Bender (Gerard Droller) man or a Hamilton (Howard Hunt) man, or whatever else, has been left unspoken. 2. The evening of 14 November was spent in the company of Orrison and Hamilton, the former briefing me on AMRASP Mexico activities, the administrative set-up of the AMRASP branch offices and certain Station/Orrison relationships and/or problems. Since it became clear that the AMRASP Mexico branch was primarily a propaganda instrumentality, Hamilton and the undersigned, after consultation with COS/JMASH, felt it advisable to bring Orrison together with the JMASH (Forward operating base - CIA, Miami) propaganda offices and subsequently with WH/4/PROP section in Washington. Hamilton undertook to arrange for the scheduling of these meetings."
104-10414-10124: MEXICO CITY STATION HISTORY
Anne Goodpasture's History of the Mexico City Station: From Page 341: ..."Theft of Two Briefcases: On 29 November 1960, two briefcases containing classified information on Mexico City Station operations, and on US Government support of the Revolutionary Democratic Front (Frente Revolucionario Democratico - FRD), an anti-Castro Cuban exile propaganda group, were stolen from (REDACTION). (REDACTION) was a 45-year old US citizen who had served as a career agent in Mexico from 1951 to May 1960. He worked extensively on CA projects, using commercial cover. (REDACTION) was hired as a contract employee at $5,000 per year but was raised to $8,330 with career agent status before he resigned in May 1960 and moved to Houston, Texas. In August 1960, (REDACTION) was recruited again by E. Howard Hunt to work on CIA projects on a part-time basis on business trips made between Houston and Mexico City. (REDACTION) received a salary of $30 per day as a contract agent for those days he actually performed CIA work. (REDACTION) visited the station offices in Miami and Headquarters in November 1960 for a briefing on aspects of his job. He then spent Thanskgiving in Houston with his family, and on all of these travels he carried two large briefcases of classified CIA papers. (REDACTION) arrived in Mexico City from Houston on Pan American Airlines at 1115 hours on Tuesday, 29 November 1960. He picked up his station wagon at the airport parking lot...and proceeded to his office at Rio de la Plata No. 56-502. He parked ...around the corner on Calle Atoyac in front of No. 21. (REDACTION) went in the back seat of the station wagon and opened the two briefcases, and extracted some papers pertaining to his personal business. He closed the briefcases, covered them with a suitbag, and laid them on the floor in the rear of the station wagon. He then got out and locked the doors and windows of the station wagon." (CONTINUED BELOW).
104-10414-10124: MEXICO CITY STATION HISTORY
Anne Goodpasture's History of the Mexico City Station: From Page 343: "Some 30 minutes later, (REDACTION) returned to the station wagon and, after glancing to the rear to note that the suitbag was in place, proceeded to his apartment. When he picked up the suitbag, the briefcases were missing. Examination of the station wagon revealed that a small window in front had been forced open. (REDACTION) returned to the Atoyac area and drove around for about a half hour, then went back to his apartment and telephoned his Mexico City Station contact, (REDACTION), to report the bad news. (REDACTION) then advised COS Scott and subsequently began a detailed debriefing to ascertain the contents of the briefcases and to itemize the damage...Every investigative asset of the Mexico City Station combed the city, even the thieves market, in search of the briefcases, but no clue to their whereabouts was ever found. All leads came to a dead end. Moos was returned to Headquarters for a technical interrogation on 19 December 1960. He appeared to be truthful in the reporting of the loss and circumstances surrounding the incident. There was no evidence of deception. Among the missing papers were the true names of the following CIA employees: Joseph Baker, Gerald Droller, Jacob D. Esterline, (REDACTION), David A. Phillips, (REDACTION), Stannard K. Short, (REDACTION), Philip Toomey, E. Howard Hunt, and William Kent.

Cobb, born 19 July 1904, New Orleans, Louisiana, senior member of the law firm, Cobb and Wright, New Orleans, Louisiana, was granted a Provisional Security Approval on 19 June 1967 to permit contact and assessment of Cobb in connection with his use on a Cleared Attorneys' Panel for the Office of General Counsel. Cobb had been granted a Covert Security Clearance on 3 October 1953 for use on a private attorneys' panel for the OGC. A security investigation in 1953 was generally favorable. Noteworthy information regarding Subject at the time was a report that in 1949 while he was serving as President of the International House in New Orleans, he and one Rudolph Hecht were alone in favoring a Czech exhibit at the International Trade Mart. Hecht, President of the Hibernian Bank of New Orleans at the time was reportedly the power behind the International House and Trade Mart and Cobb was said to be his protégé. Both Cobb and Hecht took the stand that trade with a Russian satellite was desirable as long as it was not prohibited by law and was profitable, regardless of other considerations...Cobb's law firm main client in 1953 was the Helis' corporation..."
