OO (Con't)
recommendation stresses the importance of Antwerp as a world
port and its constant use by Soviet and Polish ships. He
also notes its "great potential value as an important port
for supplies for U.S. Forces in Germany."
OPC
Headquarters has received from the field for chemical
analysis, a sample of what is believed to be a Soviet drug,
medicine, or similar compound, intended by them for
aggressive use. The drug was obtained from two Soviet
agents who defected while on a mission to kidnap an individual
cooperating with a CIA cover organization in -estern Germany.
Because of delays encountered in commencing the training of
Albanian W/T operators in Germany, and-the relatively slow
progress made to date by the men taking training there, no
trained operators will be ready by the dates scheduled during
September for agent air drops. Consequently, the September
infiltration schedule for Albania has been postponed for
one month.
DD/P
Ambassador Briggs has complained to the State Department that
his First Secretary, Mr. Schnee, who unexpectedly called at
the DEC(G) on 27 August, was refused permission to
interrogate 2 Czech defectors who had only reached. the
DRD on 23 August. After consultation, the State member
of the IDC advised Ambassador Briggs that defedtor procedures
do not permit direct access to defectors by other agencies
in the field until CIA has established their bona fides
and has reached a decision not to use them operationally.
Interrogation results, as they become available, are being
forwarded to Ambassador Briggs. COPI # / OF $.
