with euoh coagro, if any, praparaticno froa his end in UOSCOT concerning *
i
contacts with French buoinecccon woo had visited JdOSGOT?. The first reason hs sivo was that ha had coapletolyiraatsd our capabilities for having such contaot3 at our fis-jsr tips in PARIS, Ko understood clearly vhy this vas not tha case nor/ and admitted his serious error in caking this assumption. Tho second roacca, which this interwoven with tlie first, nao that ho' in foot was not suro that ho would bo sont to PARIS at all at the tics vhan the Frenchas running ino he mada little effort to oatabHah tho groundwork for thla possible trip, not having muoh faith in his chance3 of ocaing hero. Only after tho French Expositionhis trip to PARIS formulated andoo lata to do nhat he should have dono earlier* Subject also
Tjphaataod that ho waa reluctant to sack Prench contacts InIntho intensive effort cads by the KGB to do Just that and ho did notrun into thoir intoroata. Subject further eaphaaieod that allRusoian namoa or "cnowa to be of Russian extraction are prionKG3 intoroot.

In thia respect subject candidly stated that he ranted to be honest with ua otherwise wa would have grounds to assure that he waa doing nothing to further hla own cause and was aa lasy aa. at continued by saying that ho now folt confidant something very tangible wouldrom hia contact with IflMav endhereirm basis with whloh to work to accomplish hiath respeot too eaid that that man was mast attractive with respect to hia position but requested additional checko nado on our part prior to bio contacting TARASSOFF beoaussubject-p.osplbly the KGBeee%ated,JARASSOFF In USOOS'. amd.hp_could run into s? rioUs,.trouble--becauirho name would be traced with tho KGB, thoy would see< that subject, as the sonite

'with roepeot to Janet one Additional important consideration was
This waa to smoothly offeot an aotual official meeting between.and subjecteception either at an Embooey orJ
realdsnoe to which logically and officially both oould be invited guests. Subject reviewed all of tho official receptions at Babanaiea and private homes that he had been invited to on an official baeis by dates add places aa well aa persons oinoo hecmbor of tho Oceraittee. It 'eo happened that both were invited to the hcao of Hilary KINO, subject once and Janet nuDosrous time. It also appeared that fron their respective recollection of tha persons, proaont that they both had been thoro already without being introduced to each other at tho party at Hilary KING'o first residence onrospokt 1TXHA near the RIGA railroad station on one of the days' between tho 8thh At any rate for chance queries both aubject and Janet could conveniently use that place and dateegend for having oat each other aa an exoellent covor for an unexpected meeting and greeting in MOSCOW should any Question ever arise on the part of KGB or whensoever, in the meantime an actual meeting would bo arranged between tho twoeception to bo given byI0R, the Scientific Attache at tbe Brltlah Embassy. '. Subject interjootod here that when people have once met officially, subsequent oontaota are perfootly normal and approved. Aa an example he said thatGVT2HAKIood friend, an Italian, whoso name is UARJNOTTI. This man haa been living inor six months nowery fine room which he uses aa ah office, in the Hotel National, which GVTSHIANI haa arranged for hia. Tho man seems to bo of coasldorablo value to CVIffllANI and they are close friends and go out together to eat and drink, etc. and in addition the Italian always brings GVTJHIANI fine gifts. Tho Italian Often goes to LONDON, NET/ YORK and CASHINGTON. Subject waa involved in reconciling the mandatory . equest by IONOV the Chief of all hotela in MOSCOW to remove tho Italian from his room during tho time that the various delegates to tba Party Congress would bo in &DSCCV. Thia waa an order frca the Supreme Soviet, GVISHIAKI did not want the Italian removed, but it was eo arranged that theffice with all of hla parophanalla was looked up in the Itollan'a,room while ths Italian himself planned to go on leave to Italy during tho period of the Party Congress.

Subjeot waa asked whetherbe normal for him to be invited by Dr. SENIOR, to which subjectit certainly would be logical and in foot BERDENIKOV, who knows Dr.personally, bad called him on subject's behalf when aubject waagot his visa qulokly to go to LONDON. Subjeot atreaaed that at thiav.ould be very doairablo for him to be invited to the British, FrenchEmbassies and to any receptiona held elsewhere by the English,Prench, to which foreigners ore normally invited. He also la concernedAmerican Embassy, although up to nowaaalve role. He badan American delogation at the Coszaittoe who came regarding mattersand licensing. Subjeot said that the chief woa FRIEDMAN add all the members ware also Jews. Subjeot met another American who wasCCV7 ourist and whose visa he had extended for him twice for ten days each tho American'8 request.
