’ MEMORANDUM FOR: Executive Secretary, .
: - CIA Management Committee ’ )
- . SUBJECT : Project TWO-FOLD
1. This memorandum sets forth a recommendation for your
: approval in paragraph 5.
2. For the past several years, this office has been support
. ing the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs (BNDD) by spot-
ting, assessing, and recruiting personnel to form an internal
security unit whose primary mission is the detection of corruption
within the BNDD. Subsequent to the recruitment and training stage,
the individuals selected are turned over to the Chief Inspector of
* BNDD for operational guidance and handling in their various dom-
estic assignments. . . -
3. Recently, this Agency has extended this activity by
supporting BNDD in the covert acquisition of individuals who are
hired as Staff Agents utilized under nonofficial cover and directed
: against the principal international drug traffickers. These indi- A
i viduals are true employees of the BNDD and, although all admin-
istrative details relative to their employment are handled within -
' the Agency, they are unaware of any Agency involvement.
: : 4. It is felt at this time that a reaffirmation of our support )
to BNDD in Project TWO-FOLD is necessary and desirable. .
’ 5. Therefore, itis recommended that approval be granted
for the continuation of Project TWO-FOLD as originally approved
by the Director of Central Intelligence on 12 February 1971.
