[78]introduction

[81]had been given instructions to call a JMWAVE operational number

[83]Zo9 act instructions. When he failed to call soon after his arrival
[85]it was decided to try to establish visual contact with him at arpasre Mit
[86]same as was done successfully in 1966, to move him to call for contact gs
[87]instructions. For that purpose D1 GERVENO wag taken to HTBASTE on“?
[89]21 September carrying a match folder from(Iden BYwith his” “alias, (iden C,
[90]and room number. The plan was to make sure AMELOCK/1 recognized
[92]DI GERVENG, who also met him in 1966, and to pags the match folder pee?
[93]to AMGOCK/1 only if this could be done securely. DI GERVENO was CT
[94]Oy able to make definite visual contact on four different occasions: we
[96]rt once at(lden D> twice _at Gaen E and a fourth time on the corridor.

[110]an attempted to call DI GERVENO there instead of JMWAVE, but
[111]be’ failed to cali either place for contact instructions. It was
[112]decided to attempt tc contact the agent again on 26 September

[117]DI GERVENO followed him. AMCLOCK/1 recognized the case officer and
[118]after exchanging safety signals DI GERVENO passed the match folder
[119]to the agent while both were waiting on a4 crowded street corner for
[120]the red light to change, at which time AMCLOCK/1 told DI GERVENO
[121]that he hac no way to contact him and would see him after lunch.

[140]Operational Chromlogy
[142]On 26 September AMCLOCK/1 met DI GERVENO from 1500 to 1830
[143]at cay B, AMCLOCK/1 appeared to be in good health and rested and in
[144]high spirits. He was very glad to see LI GERVENO again and to be able
[145]to discuss things openly. He criticized bitterly the living conditions
[146]in PBRUMEN but does not seem to be affected by it or by the fact that
[147]he had to live under a regime he obviously hates. In fact, he seemed
[148]quite sure of himself and plans to return to PBRUMEN at the end of the
[149]HTBASTE session. He is scheduled to remain in New York until December
[150]1967 but may return to PBRUMEN before then for a short visit to look
[151]after his ailing mother and his wife, who had a baby girl two weeks
[152]prior to his departure. This may have influenced AMCLOCK/1 not to
[153]think about a possible defection at this time, which came as a surprise
[154]to the case officer who expected the agent to have second tHoughts
[155]about return to PBRUMEN where he is not happy.
[157]4. AMCLOCK/1 explained that he could not make contact as instructed
[158]hecause he had destroyed the phone number and both accommodation
[159]addresses we had given him for him to report from inside PBRUMEN. He
[160]destroyed them in the toilet at the airport upon his arrival in PBRUMEN
[161]in late December 1966 after observing a number of uniformed individuals
[162]at the airport which he considered to be suspicious, although they had
[163]nothing to do with AMCLOCK/1. This may have been a convenient excuse for
[164]hia failure to make contact as instructed but DI GERVENO did not press
[166]the issue. Instead he was given the operational numbers of the Beekman
[168]site and of the Base in New York (iden BY and told he could always call yg 2
[169]wi there if he could not locate DI GE © at(iden B.>) He was aleo given 299 fs
[170]” the JMWAVE number for emergency contact. K/1l said he tried to
[171]make contact by callin Caen J>to inguire about MIDDAUGH in true name,
[172]Ga ors conc oy auiaa W&S told that MIDDAUGH was in Washington and
[173]we was given a phone number for him to call direct. AMCLOCK/1 was planning
[174]to call Washington at a later day if he had not been contacted.
[176]5. AMCLOCK/1 reported that he has had no security problems and
[177]has not been molested inside of PBRUMEN. He was treated "royally" by
[178]the AMTHUG regime in early 1967 and everybody seemed pleased to see
[179]him back. Apparently his return surprised some individuals who pri-
[180]vately thought he would defect rather than return to PBRUMEN to live.
[181]During this time he enjoyed special privileges and received frequent
[182]invitations to official functions with foreign diplomats. However,
[183]by mid 1967 the special privileges and invitations were gradually
[184]suspended for no apparent reason. (For example, he was no longer
[185]allowed to take his private car to a government garage for repairs
[186]and he had to arrange for themaintenance of his house, which was given
[187]to him and kept up by the government at first). AMCLOCK/1 believes
[188]that this was due to his being under "observation" while going through
[189]a reorientation period after his long stay abroad. There is nothing
[190]to indicate that AMCLOCK/1 is not trusted or accepted by other govern-
[191]ment officials. The fact that he was sent out again. is. REP Erong

[211]é. In reference t.i his w.fe AMCLOCK/1 stated that he is now
[212]convinced that she is totally against tie AMTHUG regime. After
[213]their marriage in late 1966 he was rot sure of her true political
[214]ideology but during the past year he has been able to confirm her
[215]disagreement on a number of occasions. He feels confident that she
[216]would follow him in any movement against the regime, such as defection,
[217]but has not told her gbout his work for WOFACT. Gigas FIRE Dae. Krse®

[478]Gperational Chronology
[480]1. On 27 September 1967 AMCLOCK/1 met DI GERVENO from 1130 to
[481]1530 for lunch at the Beekman site. The agent was not seen entering
[482]or leaving the site and he stayed out of sight when food was brought
[483]up from the restaurant downstairs, The meeting was conducted under
[484]secure conditions and without interruptions. Only AMCLOCK/1 and
[485]DI GERVENO were present at the meg vee. Esc dent (RO) - YPRLYS.
[487]Wye 1g Jems :
[488][nist faoe . . .
[489]2. AMCLOCK/1 - eported that he had been assigned to work in
[491]ce Iden Ay with ‘Gen BY same as last year. A few days bef his departure
[492], from Pomunnn den © tote AMCLOCK/1 to watch out for(iden B who is a
[493]; --“Wember of the intelligence service and will be reporting on AMCLOCK/1.
[494]hr. Ke re implication was that AMCLOCK/1 was still under observation by the
[495]AMTHUG regime and iden C-actually told him to bend backwards in every
[497]way possible to prove himself while in New York. AMCLOCK/1 explained
[498]that this meant to live a model life while abroad and to perform extra
[500]werk whenever required, without complaining. AMCLOCK/1 believes that - ge]
[501](Iden “B is being trained to take over AMCLOCK/1's position as an expert &)/
[503]TH @conomics for the AMTHUG regime... this is the case, this may be
[504]the last time AMCLOCK/1 is sent to Uden A> Still, under much probing,
[505]AMCLOCK/1 could not come out with any Clear indication that he was
[506]suspected or was falling out of ‘grace with the AMTHUG regime. Although
[507]the agent has a tendency to emphasize his “delicate” position, the
[508]case officer believes that he is not mistrusted and still enjoys a
[509]favorable position in the government, although probably considered too
[510]bourgeois to be completely integrate@ with their communist philosophy.
[512]3. Regarding the recent changes made in PBRUMEN diplomatic
[513]eersonnel abroad, AMCLOCK/1 was not aware of any security shake up
[514]taking place in the Foreign Ministry. He regarded these changes
[515]as a routine matter in accordance with their policy to bring back '
[516]| to PBRUMEN for a reorientation tour all those diplomats stationed
[518]abroad for tnree consecutive years or more. AMCLOCK/1 actually
[520]SECRET po
[526]SECRET
[532]appeared not to be aware of any major purge and not to be concerned
[533]about it. However, if this is ‘true the chances for AMCLOCK/1 to be
[534]reassigned abroad in the near future appear doubtful at this time.
[536]4. When DI GERVENO asked AMCLOCK/1 about his work and how the
[537]recent changes may affect him, the agent then reported the following
[538]information about his position in the Foreign Ministry. After his
[539]return in late December 1966 he was given four months vacation, during
[540]which time he went by the ministry from time to time but had no job
[541]assigned to him. He used most of this time for a honeymoon and to
[542]relocate in his new home furnished by the PBRUMEN government. In the
[544]spgang of 1967 ¢lden Cicongidered him actively as a substitute for
[545]tz fen D>whom den does not like...However, the job did not materialize
[546]Ta if because (Iden CYs “plans to.send@den Das Ambassador to Canada were not
[547]CO Vee “Eccepted byUdéen whom (Iden C*was going to send as Ambassador to
[549]nt 5 Swit land. At that\time AMCLOCK/1 was also considered for a position
[550]fof tae in Tden Flwhich was thé position the PBRUMEN President wanted him to -
[551]‘ OtGE Fight Sake: ut AMCLOCK/1 avoided the position although it implied frequent #
[552]. ravels abroad. The reason AMCLOCK/1 gave for not taking the position;
[553]at Gden Py was that he did not want to break away from his diplomatic,
[554]career and felt he would be better protected among his frends in the”
[555]Foreign Ministry. Consequently, after his vacation AMC LOC K/1 want ~
[556]pack to work in the Foreign Ministry but without any specific duties.
[557]He is actually doing odd_jobs for Geen Cy. Like economic studies. In
[559]LECH smid 1967 AMCLOCK/1 and(Iden G>were proposed by (Iden Cuand accepted by
[561]Gden Has members of/a four-man committee (the other two membora have
[562]“not been selected yet) which is to be created in the Foreign Miniatry
[563]to make specific area studies and recommendations todiden i since
[564]aby both AMCLOCK/1 and den G have been assigned to the HTBASTE sennion,
[566]dt is concluded that the creation of said “Advisory Comnmitten” 1a not
[567]contemplated until early 1966. According to AMCLOCK /1 the creation
[568]of this "Advisory Committee" has beer discussed at tne highest levela
[569]only and it may have some influence in the policy making decisions
