States mekes toward the running of this United Nations' agency. anount to 45.57 percent. (Senate Report 1274, 8lst Congress, 2nd Sessicn, Cormittee on Expenditures in the Executive Departments,pre pared by Subconmittee on Relations with International Organizations.). At the time that Acheson's man attenpted to ridicule my statement, he either did not know the facts in the case or he was covering up the information which is in the files and which should have been kncwn to him. This information, which I shall docunent for the committee, was known or was available to the State Department. It shows that Duran was (1) well-lmom for his rabid Comnunist beliefs and activities, (2) that he Republican was active in secret Soviet operations in the Spanish ReputitexArmy, (3) that a highly corfidential report was sent to the State Department by to all existing rules called for Duran's iuncdiate dismissal -- unless the facts were proven to be wrcng. Criginally, t I understami it was claimed that this was a case of misteken identity. That claim, I believe, has been subsequently dropped in vicw of the fact that our intolligence prcduced pictures of him in the uriform thet he wore at the time he was the gional head df S.I.M., w!iich was the sanish Countorpart of the Rassian lavd or cgru. I now hand thc com-ittce one of those pictures. At thc timc this intclligence report recchod the State Department,. Duran was a hig'sly placcd officitl in a confidontial capacity with the Stato Dcpartmcnt in South Amcrica.
