Bill Harvey's Old Pals: Don't Call or Write Us - Even if Dave Phillips Sent You
David Sanchez Morales was upset.
A feared man of mercurial temperament, the retired Agency operative phoned from Arizona his old friend and boss Theodore G. Shackley at home in Virginia on a Friday in June 1977. Dave Morales was a legendary shadow warrior. From post-WWII until at least the mid-1970's, Morales was the Agency's go-to guy for dangerous and unpleasant work requiring the highest deniability and covert maneuvering: black operations; non-official cover assignments; counter-insurgency training and planning; liaison duties with the Mafia and other criminals on the Agency's behalf; neutralizing persons antithetic to U.S. security and policy; and more. In addition, he had nearly unchecked authority within the CIA; the ability to conduct off-the-books operations; and access to networks of outside assets far beyond the oversight of officialdom.
In the early 1960's, Morales had served as Ted Shackley's faithful chief of operations when Shackley was chief of station in Miami. Morales was calling Shackley with a heads-up: Morales had received a letter from Washington journalist David C. Martin asking for his help with a book Martin was writing about William King Harvey. Harvey, a rotund former FBI man who was marginalized by J. Edgar Hoover for his maverick style and drinking bouts, was Morales and Shackley's colleague in the CIA's Secret War against Cuba. Code-named Operation Mongoose and run out of CIA Headquarters in Langley, Virginia, Mongoose and its associated covert programs were the tip of the Agency's spear pointed at Cuba, and emanating from the CIA's Miami station known as JM/WAVE. The content of the Martin letter made Morales believe that their compatriot and propaganda expert David Atlee Phillips (now head of the Association of Retired Intelligence Officers) had indiscretly passed Morales's name to David Martin as someone to contact for stories about Bill Harvey. The thought that Phillips would do so angered Morales, who told Shackley that he would not respond to Martin's letter. Shackley, then in 1977 at the peak of his career as the Agency's Associate Deputy Director for Operations, was not surprised to hear from Morales, a now heavy drinker and legendary covert warrior at the CIA. He had been called by David Martin about Bill Harvey in September 1976. It is unknown if Shackley assisted Martin. However, David C. Martin's article about Bill Harvey, The CIA's 'Loaded Gun' (and subtitled The Life and Hard Times Of 'America's James Bond,' William King Harvey) was published in the Washington Post on October 10, 1976. Notes 1 & 2. The following Tuesday, June 27, 1977, Shackley notes his conversation with Morales in an internal memo and makes it clear for the record, the Offices of Security and General Counsel, and the office of the Director that he would not help Martin out on a book about the "real or imagined" exploits of Harvey. The next evening, June 28, former Berlin operating base chief David E. Murphy (who worked with Shackley and Morales in Berlin) called Dave Phillips about a letter he had just received from David Martin. The letter mentioned Dave Phillips as a reference for Martin's bona fides and asked for Murphy's help with Martin's proposed Harvey book. During the phone call, Dave Phillips praised David Martin and tried to convince Murphy of Martin's discretion and reliability. Murphy had none of it. He told Phillips he would not to discuss covert operations with Martin, nor would he reply to Martin's letter. His wife was recuperating from cancer and he didn't want people calling his house. The next day, June 29, Murphy told Bruce L. Solie, Chief of the Security Analysis Group, about the Martin letter. The SAG speculated in a memo regarding Morales's call to Shackley that Dave Phillips was collaborating with David Martin on his Bill Harvey book by providing Martin with the names and addresses of former Agency employees that knew Harvey. The SAG memo circulated among top brass: Dave Phillips's problematic conduct in releasing to a journalist the names of CIA covert operators linked to Bill Harvey had to be contained. The situation was sensitive. Phillips had retired in 1975 and formed the ARIO to champion, lobby, and promote the cause of intelligence. He had a good rapport with many at the Agency. The Office of Security wanted General Counsel to contact Phillips; others wanted Shackley, a former close covert co-worker, to call him. In the end, Director of Security Robert W. Gambino had John K. Greaney, a lawyer in the General Counsel office, call Phillips sometime around July 20, 1977. During the call, Dave Phillips told Jack Greaney that David Martin gave Phillips a list of names that Martin wanted to speak to, and Phillips would contact those persons on Martin's behalf. Phillips told Greaney that he never gave contact information to Martin unless the former employees were willing to meet with Martin and give Phillips permission to release their information first. Phillips told Greaney that this is precisely what happened with Dave Morales and two others. In other words, according to Dave Phillips's explanation as recorded by Jack Greaney, Phillips contacted Dave Morales on Martin's behalf, Morales expressed a willingness to meet with Martin, and Morales gave Phillips permission to release his contact information to David Martin. Only then (according to Phillips' version) did Martin write to Morales asking about Bill Harvey. If Dave Phillips is to be believed in what he told Jack Greaney, then Dave Morales was not being truthful to Ted Shackley when Morales implied that Dave Phillips had surreptitiously released Morales' name to David Martin. If Dave Morales is to be believed in what he implied to Ted Shackley, then Dave Phillips was not forthcoming with the Office of General Counsel in stating that Morales had given Phillips consent to release Morales' name and address to David Martin. Gaeton Fonzi, investigator for the House Select Committee on Assassinations, discusses in his book The Last Investigation how Dave Phillips appeared before the Assassination Committee in August 1978 for an informal session of off-the-record questioning about Dave Phillips' actions in Mexico City when Lee Harvey Oswald was there. At the end of the session, Fonzi asked Phillips: "By the way, do you know what happened to Dave Morales"? Phillips answered: "No, not really. Last I heard he was down in the Southwest, I don't know where. I think maybe New Mexico." Note 3. When questioned by the HSCA in 1978, apparently - after a year - Dave Phillips didn't recall his own claims to the Agency in 1977 (1) that he wrote or spoke to Dave Morales in Arizona the summer before; (2) that Morales expressed to him a willingness to meet Martin; (3) that Morales gave him permission to release his name and address to Martin; (4) that he had subsequently given Morales' name and Arizona contact information to writer David Martin for a book about Bill Harvey; and (5) that the above events became such a problem for the Agency that they had to call him about it and ask him to stop leaking names and addresses. Was Dave Phillips of a forgetful mind when it came to his contacts with and memory of his former action man and paramilitary expert David S. Morales, or was he intentionally dissembling in front of the HSCA? Note 4. Was Dave Phillips improperly passing protected identities from the ARIO roster to a journalist, or was he merely fulfilling his role as the head of the ARIO in promoting intelligence officers and their history by permissively feeding David Martin some leads? Was Dave Phillips lying to his former employer when called on the carpet about his actions, or was he merely acting with the consent of Dave Morales and others, who wanted to share a few memories about Bill Harvey for David Martin's book? There always seems to be a few sides to the story with David A. Phillips. --- The leak was plugged, and David Martin's book about Bill Harvey and James Angleton, the well-reviewed Wilderness of Mirrors, was eventually completed and published in 1980. Today, David C. Martin barely recalls Phillips's involvment in helping him obtain contacts for his research about Bill Harvey. Martin did not know about the flap it caused at Langley.

An excerpt from the archives of www.washingtonpost.com: "THERE SHOULD have been more people there when they buried Bill Harvey last June. In a way, when the most controversial clandestine operator in CIA history died of a heart attack at 60, it was the end of an era. Twelve months before his death, William King Harvey had been a key witness in the Senate intelligence committee's investigation of the CIA's futile efforts to assassinate Fidel Castro.

Note 4: Dave Phillips had reason to be circumspect about David Morales. Morales was dangerous, and he had admitted involvement in the JFK assassination to two close friends in a drunken, unguarded moment. See The Last Investigation by Gaeton Fonzi.
According to Phillips's autobiography, The Nightwatch, Phillips had worked with Morales, known as "El Indio", in 1954 to overthrow Jacob Arbenz in Guatemala, and in other operations. Phillips described "El Indio" as a paramilitary expert and back-alley man. David Atlee Phillips, The Night Watch (London: Robert Hale Limited, 1977), p. 49. There was apparently a close working relationship between the two men that remains nearly completely in shadow. Dave Morales was the sword to Dave Phillips's pen. There is no proof that either man together or in conjunction were involved in the death of JFK. Note 5: Telephone interview with David C. Martin by Steve Rosen, June 28, 2011. --- Many thanks to Robin Finn for posting some of these documents.
I know the names of those responsible for the slaughter ... I know the names of the powerful group ... I know the names of those who between one mass and the next made provision and guaranteed political protection ... I know the names of the important and serious figures who are behind the ridiculous figures ... I know the names of the important and serious figures behind the tragic kids ... I know all these names and all the acts (the slaughters, the attacks on institutions) they have been guilty of... I know. But I don't have the proof. I don't even have clues. - Pier Paolo Pasolini

CIA Chief Admits Watching Lee Harvey Oswald Contact Cubans in Mexico, Contrary to What the Agency Told the Warren Commission
In 1963, David Atlee Phillips was the CIA’s eyes on the Cuban Embassy in Mexico City.
At the time, Phillips was the Agency's premier psychological warfare specialist, whose job was to confuse, harass, and disrupt the Cuban government and its intelligence apparatus through use of propaganda and covert action, without disclosing the hidden hand of American involvement.
Stationed in Mexico City in 1963, he was responsible for monitoring the Cuban and Russian Embassies in Mexico City, which at the time was a hotbed for Cold War spies in the Western Hemisphere.
Phillips intelligence collection programs consisted of audio and visual recordings, and live teams of agents trailing suspected individuals. Photographers hidden in the upstairs apartments across the street from the embassies took pictures of visitors entering and exiting the buildings, and compared those photos to files of known spies. Bugging devices throughout both embassies surreptitiously recorded private conversation among embassy employees, which were translated and reviewed by Phillips. Mobile surveillance teams run by the CIA and Mexican intelligence services could follow any target in Mexico City. Assets inside the embassies (embassy employees paid by the CIA, or other individuals) may have overheard Oswald's conversations as well.
Despite this blanket coverage of the Cuban and Russian embassies, Phillips wrote in his memoir The Nightwatch that Lee Harvey Oswald was a "blip" on the Agency's radar, when Oswald called and visited the Cuban and Russian consulates in September and October of 1963, seeking a visa to Russia via Cuba. Before congressional committees investigating the CIA and the assassination of JFK in 1976 and 1978, Phillips dodged and parried, but he gave few concrete details about what he knew and when.
Only later in life did he provide a bit more detail about his level of interest in Oswald in 1963.
In his posthumously published memoir Secret Wars Diary, Phillips admitted that “I was an observer of Cuban and Soviet reaction when Oswald contacted their embassies”.
This stunning statement indicates that Phillips may have been monitoring Oswald in real time, watching him enter the embassies, listening to his conversations inside, watching him leave, and ascertaining the reaction of embassy employees to his visit. It is a significant admission over his earlier statements and testimony.
Phillips admission in Secret Wars Diary finally destroys the official CIA position given to the Warren Commission (President Lyndon Johnson's appointed body charged with investigating Kennedy's murder) that they did not know that Oswald visited the Cuban embassy until after the assassination of JFK.

Limited Hangout:
"A 'limited hangout' is spy jargon for a favorite and frequently used gimmick of the clandestine professionals. When their veil of secrecy is shredded and they can no longer rely on a phony cover story to misinform the public, they resort to admitting - sometimes even volunteering - some of the truth while still managing to withhold the key and damaging facts in the case. The public, however, is usually so intrigued by the new information that it never thinks to pursue the matter further."
