CIA's two principal agents in Iran have received a letter from
Louis de Rochemont. informing them that their recently sub-

have been made to release this information to the press and

publicity is to cover the substantial expenditures being made
by the agents in Iran who, ostensibly, are politically active
newspapemen of nominal means.
