3. Page 63, line 21; the name ("Frank Holcomb") Mr. Holcomb retired under cover and his past relationship with the CIA should not be exposed.

4. Page 63, line 30 beginning with "By" and ending with “arrangement” on line 33, page 63. It is recommended that this passage be deleted since its inclusion not only is not pertinent to the narrative but it unnecessarily jars liaison with the ZY[British] and is an implied insult to the [FreZYnch] liaison services.

7. Page 71, beginning with "Spanish" on line 28 and ending with “America” on line 20, page 72, and including the footnotes on pages 71 and 72.

It also describes William Buckley’s role in that operation as a CIA officer. (Page 121, lines 17–23 and page 122, lines 1–6.)
9. Page 73 beginning with “Mexican” on line 5 through “Rivera” on line 8. This should be deleted because it not only describes sources and methods but also identifies a specific CIA operation. (Page 122, lines 19–21 and page 123, line 1.)
