Shope are no reports any type during both years of 1958-59 and in 1960 that was sent on an observer to the national convention of the National Educator Association. He was also present at the national convention of the National Student Association. This information is in a cooperate folder and it can be used that he was organizing certain CIA contacts with that organization. In 1960 the later problems that were to develop in the CIA with their contacts with NA it in underratedable that his activity in this field would be removed from these files. COLSMALL suddenly resigned his contract with the Buckley school system in the two months that he had signed it in 1960 and reported to the losing Company inattle. He can given a revving assignment on a personall Representative and this allowed him access to any part of the plant complex of that company. allowed him access to any part of the plant complex of their company. The Security Section of Poing Company soon to have been aware that he was a type of government agent, but they were under the impression that he was an Air Force agent, proo Intelligence agent. His conduct there was not that of an Air Force agent, being under a grant reorganization program and many departments were in a complete stage of confusion as they were being re-organized into an Aero-Space concept. CRISMAN built an internal network of informants that fed him a steady stream of information on the business and private lives of many of Doing's top executives. He filed several lengthy reports that demanded that Doing rearrange his hiring process and their security measures. There is no doubt that he was instrumental in the firing of several top executives that had a shadow of private sexuality in their private lives. None of the men (one woman) had any public record of any problems of any. coord of any problem of nox. This agent deliberately not person against person until one whole project had to be abandoned due to the vast amounts of ill feeling engendered by his delivery to conduct. It is almost impossible to believe that one man, even a well trained agent, could cause so much disruption in any one division of a super-corporate large as Doeing. The Doeing operation alone makes a file 11 inches thick with nearly 800 microfilm reports. During the last three months of Disruption it was aided by another CIA agent and a woman employee. The other agent is not in my name, the hired woman was Denaa Wooloy. She was not aware that she was working or the CIA. Boeing agents finally tracked down the source of the trouble and complained to the Air Force Plant Representive, Col. J. Walter Green. Col. Green called in the CRISHAN and talked to him. He later was called to Washington and upon his return did not deny CRISHAN as an AF Agent. CRISHAN abruptly resigned from December in November of 1962. He returned to Washington, D.C. until January 1, 1963 and then returned to Tacoma, Washington. For the rest of the year of 1963 (until 1963 Sept.) he was a teacher in the ma school system and did not submit many reports anido from a few reports on honor of the teaching in Tacoma. He considered it to be very loose and nocked great deal more discipline.
