[81]not contain any information of a derogatory nature concerning

[84]3. Extract of Foreign Service Dispatch No. 392 from Amembassy
[85]Moscow to the Department of State, Washington, D.C. dated 12 December
[86]1960 listed Robert KORENGOLD as UPI correspondent in Moscow. No
[87]remarks were made concerning KORENGOLD.
[89]4. An Overseas Press Bulletin dated 24 April 1965 reported
[90]that Newsweek's bureau chief, Robert KORENGOLD, gave a cocktail
[91]party for visiting Newsweek's foreign editor, Robert CHRISTOPHER.
[93]5. On page 4 of a Department of State report of investigation
[94]dated 14 December 1965 regarding the activities of a Department of
[95]State employee in Moscow, William Henry LUERS, LUERS said that
[96]Robert KORENGOLD, Newsweek correspondent, was interested in
[97]interviewing a Soviet painter whose work had been shown in Paris.

[110]After calling from the Embassy to arrange the appointment, LUERS
[111]and KORENGOLD went to AMALRIK's apartment. The painter was
[112]not there, and shortly after their arrival two militia men and KGB
[113]officers came to AMALRIK's apartment. AMALRIK was arrested,
[114]tried, and sentenced for being a 'parasite'. LUERS said that his
[115]superior at the Embassy, Malcolm TOON, was unhappy about this
[116]activity and was critical of LUERS in his efficiency rating because
[117]of it. LUERS said he did not previously mention it to the interviewing
[118]agent because he did not wish to further complicate matters."
[119](LUERS was security approved as a GS-7 JOT in June 1957, subject
