Although the Informat ion from NOSENKO on the timlog of thebe operations does not elways agree with that from other sources , these cases can be grouped chronologicelly as follows: 1955 4 one; 1956 one; 1957 three; 1958 two; and 1959 seven. The operations in 1955, 1956 and , with- one exception 1959 were homosexual Provocat ions. The re- crutment of Arsene FRIPPEL 1p 1959 was bascd on heterosexual compromise.

The Tourist Department and the KGB in general thereupon "washed their hands 06 of this matter. There was never any operutional use of OSWALD nor wag there anything in OS ALD' s file to indicate that che KGB attempted to debrief hin on his past service in the U,5, Marine Corps or other natters; this wes because "he is a very little person and a Jso i< is felt that he is not not- @a ) _ S0 thc KGB is a fraid to do this with him."

OSWALD after the initial esse55 - ment of abnormality.

But it is the law that allows then to be married. There are no forma] approvals necessary . I6 Concerning the decision to pernit the ccuple to leave the USSR, NOSENKO said on 3 July 1964 that the decision would be made cn the loca} level in Minsk, and that there is no need to check in Moscow On 27 July 1964 hc corrected this statement to say that , whilc local authorities make the decision, it must be approvcd in Noscow by he 'thouzht , the MInistry for the Preservation of Public Order (MOOP) .

The compromiging scenes of MORONC and the Polish UB agent were photograpned This information Cn the KGB operation wJs received by CIA soon after the wcinan S second visi: to Moscow On the basis of this report NORONE was interviewed and polygrapked in Oslo in May i961 _ ard he was transferred to Lisbcn from Moscow in August 1961 . NOSENKO gave a fei details on the same case without men- tioning thie name of the KGB target during the 1962 meetings in Geneva _ In 1964 and 1965 he furnished more particulars on the XORONE case identifying threc KGB agents (besides the Polish female) who participated in the operacion NOSENKO however _ said that two cf then addec no inforzation of us2 to the XGB against MORONE ard that he was unable to remember what the tnire agent reported statements by other sources indicate thae garding MORONE all three agents could have_acquired informacion of operational potential_ for the KGY _ NOSENKO has not reported _ a3 have other sources that. a fourth KGB agent ramed Ella UMANETS was in contact with MORONE or that the KGB officer SKVORTSOV-- posing as MICHAUD--was with MORONE at Anerica House on at least one occasion the night when STORSBERG says ke was approached by the KGB (see above) NOSENKO has ccnfused the MORONE case with another by saying that a fifth KGB agent was directed nst MORONE whereas she was apparently directed against the Arerican code clerk ZuJUS (see below) The' sensitive source of the original report on MORCNE stated that a KGB officer "VOLODYA" {(Vladimir last name unknown) personally met the Polish female agent when she arrived in Moscow and NOSENKO saia that the KGB officer was his subordinate KOSQLAPOV NOSENKO at first claimed a RGB photographic technician supporting the case res ported to him, but he retracted this remark after CIA showed him that travel records on NCSENKO made it impossible for the technician to have spoken to him as he described _ According to NOSENKO , MORONE was reassigned Erom Moscow before the XGB could take further steps against the code clerk and he speculates MORONE 5 transfer was Prompted by American authorities concern over his relationship with one of the KGB female agents.

The post was then 818- continuea , but the address was Placea on a list- of sus _ Picious places inspected daily by the Surveillance Direc - torate Te true Sj gnificance of this location became knowm to the KGB only later, after the arrest Of PENKOV - SKIY in 1962. NOSENKO first heard of ABIDIAN S visit to the sus - pectea dead site on the it occurred_ He was sitting in KOVSHUK s office when he received a telephone call from MATVEYEV telling him 09 the incident. Although NOSEIKO was ABIDIAN S case officer and KOVSHUK was Chief Of the U.S. Embassy Section, the decision to place the stationary surveillance post on this location was made at 0 higher level; neither Of them was involved In it Or In the later decision to discontinue the post. NOSENKO him- belf VIsited the building On Pushkin Street the following or the after but he rema ined a few mInutes ana dia not recall any details Of the haliway: except that there was a radiator there: Ag: 'ABIDIAN 3 case officer, NOSENKO recalled re- cefving the survei ]lance report" Of his vigit to the PushkIn street building and placing this; report In ABIDIAN file_ (This 1s the case file which NOSENKO: TOP SECRET' day arop day 8y aay Only "8 ================================================== Page 146 ================================================== 14-bonq0# L4 Jitrr 233: turned Over to his successor , GRYAZOV _ abuz 28-28 December 1961, Just before he cransferred to Ehe Tourist Department. ) NOSENKO recelved no written reports on the results of the stationary surveillance Post but he did discuss thls matter with KOZLOV on an almost daily basis during the first month of surveillance, periodizally after thata mese discussions took plece either by telephone _ or When KOZLOV wag visit NOSENKO ' s office_ or wten NOSENKO vislted XOZLOV 5 office In KGB Headquarters. Fron KOZLOv or perhaps someone else, NOSENKO learned that the post nzd been discontinued after 90 days: Un the basis 0f these conversations with KOZLOV _ NOSENKO knew that nothing of interest occurred during the perioa Of the stationary sur- veillance. NCSENKO was in the U.3. Embassy Section during all the_period that_the_Stat LonaFy_suFvei ilanee post waswateh the Pushkin Street site ard was there when he heara from KOZLCV that tke post had beer replaced by periodic inspections . NOSENKO did not report this incident of surveillance on the Pushkin Street dead drop slte to his CIA contacts in Geneva in June 1962 beczuse the post had already been discontinued by this tine without anything unusual or sug - picious hzving been noted_ Therefore he thought that this incidert would not be particu: arly interesting to the CIA. CIA recoras show that ABIDIAN visited the PushkIn Street dead drop site only once, on 30 December 1961_ a year later char NOSEIXO says , in response to an apparent signal Erom PENKOVSKIY . The sequence of events was as follows : On 27 December 1961= following reccipt of what seemed to be the prearranged sigal from PENROVSKIY that the had been loadea_ Aic Force Captain Alexis DAVISON drove from his apaFtment to the U,S Embessy to alert ABIDIAN _ At about 2100 hours the same night _ ABIDIAN left in his Ow car for Spasso House the Anbassador ' s residence where a dance was in progress . to tell the CIA Chief of Station, Paul GARBLER _ about the Signal_ ABIDIAN and GARBLER left Spasso House with the other guests at about 0200 on 28 December In ABIDIAN 3 car and drove past the telephone pole where as part of his loaded signal_ PENKOVSKIY was to leave a mark. Later in the morning of 28 December , ABIDIAN _ again in his owm car drove Erom the Embassy to DK IDSON S apartnent, Khere he ffrst checked the telephone visually from the wIndow and then walked it for a closer exanination_ Although it was not certain that the telephone calls received on 27 December had , In fact. been a SIgnal from PEVKOVSKIY ana although no supplementary mark was founa on the telephone pole, a decislon Vag reached to check the dropa Therefore, at 1115 on 30 Decem- ber 1961, ABIDIAN with Julian F _ MacDONALD , an Enbassy Econanics OffIcer, left the Embassy in an official car with a Soviet driver and .proceeded to a bookstore on the corner Of PushkIn Street . At 1130 ABIDIAN entared the building where the drop MIte vas Jocated, determined that the drop was empty, and left oe @inute later The Rafr then returned to the' Embassy - 9 Tese facts vere outlined cp' NOSENKO: during the: February 1965 tnterrogations .
