FERDINAND BARNARD
I was told from the beginning that I will be dealt with in a covert nature, because of the background of the CCB and the media coverage that I've already enjoyed at that stage.  I became a bit frustrated so I wrote them a slightly sarcastic letter where I said I'm not willing to do this work, to be treated as an informer, I wanted to know what my tasks were and what my benefits were.  I had a girlfriend who was pregnant, I wanted to make a career of this.  I thought of it in a very serious light.  They then appointed me as an agent and then at a later stage as a chief agent.
