This morning Kemper took & call from Mr Sam Jaffe ,
CBS News--Television, New York, Plaza 1-2345= Extension 7801.
He wanted to know if it would be possible to interview the Director
in connection with the current juvenile delinquency problem in
New York Kemper told Jaffe that the Director had a firm
policy in not injecting himself into local matters; and accordinglys
the Director could not comply with this request:
Jaffe then wanted to know if it would be possible to
interview SAC Foster on the problem of juvenile delinquency, but
that this interview would be general in nature and would not refer l)
to the specific New York problem, but would cover the broad
national picture_
Kemper advised Jaffe that again it would be injecting
the FBI into the Iocal situation, and we did not deem this advisable_
Jaffe agreed, Kemper called SAC Foster and alerted him to Jaffe's
W
call and explained to him the reasons _ Foster said that he would be
alert to keeping out of the Situation aS it developed in New York_

SUBJECT: SAMUEL ADASON JAFFE , aka Ye
ReBulet ,
Hor
JAFFE was interviewed by SAS JOHN F MABEY and
EDWARD F GAMBER on 2/12/59. (JAFFE' 8 identity sheuld be
protected.) As usual, JAFFE was
most pleasant and
cazperative.
During the interview, JAFFE wa$ casually asked
1f he had read the article about the FBI in the 10/18/58_
issue of "The Nation_ 11 The introducticn of this topic
inco the interview was very casual and the exact date of
the isaue in which the article appeared was not actually
mentioned _ JAFFE said that he did not read this article
nor had he heard about the article Interviewing Agents then
told JAFFE that the article was written in an apparent effort
to It smear" the Bureau _ The Agents commented that the Bureau
aliays welcomes constructive criticism and upon receipt of
same , has always taken expeditious stpps to make any
warranted changes in it8 operations However , the article
'appearing in "The Nation" contained no constructive criticism
and in fact, the criticism contained therein was based on
untruths, erroneous conclusions, and biased innuendoes _
JAFFE said that he would like very much to read
this article and asked who the author was When the
name of FRED J _ COOK was mentioned, it meant nothing to JABFE ,
but when JAFFE was told that COOK wrote for the York
World Telegram and Sun, " he expressed amazement_ Interviewing
Agents expressed idle interest in knowing whatever provoked
the writing and publication of such an article and this
evoked from JAFFE the comment that CAREY Mc WILIIAMS,
editor of #The Nation, " was undoubtedly the moving factes
behind such an article appearing in "The Nation I1 He
said that CAREY MC WILLIAMS 18 Violently anti-Bureau,
was anti-"McCarthy"_ is anti-House Un-American Activities

States who were interested in seeing trade restrictions
placed on trade with Red China eased; JAFFE furnished
some information concerning this to BARKOVSKY

conversational vein serving the purpose of exploring
JAFFE 8 present knowledge of the staff of "The Nation"
This subject will not be brought up with JAFFE in
the absence of Bureau permission_
Every opportunity has been taken to acquaint
JAFFE with the fact that his relationship with the

times JAFFE has made known the fact on repeated
occasions that information Which ne furnishee to the
Bureau must be handled in strictest confidence, Since i8
it became known that he were furnishing information to

Jeopardized: JAFFE has been told to use the facilities
of 3 public pay station when telephonically contacing
this office and that he should not have any personal
contact at the NYO However, these latter instructions
were qualified to the extent that if in his position
as a news reporter it i8 necessary for him to contact
'this office concerning matters other than those on

must of course feel free to do SO . JAFFE has been told
he is not to consider himself to be an employee of the

It was the original intention of this office
to request Bureau authority to concact for the purpose

this intention 1a8 changed because of an interview on 12/10/58 ,
Wich SAS EDWARD p GAMBER &nd JOIN G_ WILLLS had, With SAMUEL

Memorandum for Mr . Belmont
RE : SAMUEL ADASON JAFFE , aka.
105-28333
Background investigation of Jaffe wS instituted as a result of
his interview on 9-12-58. No derogatory informat ion has been developed
and it appears that ali of his contacts witth tne Soviets have been aS the
result of his news-gathering assignments. The New York Office, auxr e of
the additional significance of Jaffe' s former association with "The
Nation, 0t since publ ishing the article entitred TBI, m1 in the 10-l8-58
issue of this publ icati has requested Bureau authority to maintain
contact with Jaffe pending coverage of one remaining 1ead involving
Teview of Central intelligence Agency (CIA} records in order t0 teceive
infornation concerning the Soviets with whom he is in contact and as 0
follow up of our 9-12-58 interviewa
"C}
QBSERVATIONS :
It is believed that we should allow New York t0 continue
contacts with Jaffe and and it i8 possible that this contact, if properly
handleds develop a source of information of 8ignificance concerning
Soviet officials in New York as Well @S providing a possibl e source of
informati on concetn the article and general of "The Nat i on
throvgh such contacts as Jaffe may still have On the staff of that
publ icationa
RECOMMENDATION:
If you approve, there is attached a 1etter t0 New York
authorizing continued contacts with Jaffe concerning information of
interest to us concerning Soviet officials and instructing New York t0
be alert in their contacts with Jaffe t0 devel op any opportunity that
might arise toward obtaining information concerning the general policy
and personal ities that Jaffe may have knowl edge of who are presently

On 3/5/57 , Special Agents of the FBI observed
the activities of a certain individual in the offices
of the Ceylon Delegation where the afore-menioned code
wa; Jnown be kept, and subsequently observed his
individual with GRUSHA. Approximately one hour later,
after this individual had again been observed with
GRUSHA , he was observed returzing a' red covered book
Cc /
to 'che offices of the Ceylon Delegation_
A review of the New York Office Indices
reflects numerous references to the name SAMUEL JAFFE;
however_
9
based on the information from it
would appear that the sub ject is identical With the
JAFFE named by This identification 18 based
upon the following facts obtained from the previous
investigation of the subject_
According to JAFFE , on numerous
occasions during 1955 and 1956,~had been in contact
with individuals at the Soviet Embassy in Washington,
6s
D.C . in regard to visa matters pertaining to his contemplated
travel to the USSR_
In April, 1954
9
eccording '"co
JAFFE was in contact with the Soviet United Nations
Delegation in New York City. At this time, it Was
determined that he wa,s employed a8 a culture researcher
for "Life" Magazine i New York City , and had contacted
the Soviet United Nations Delegation in connection
with 8ome work he was doing on a story for this (s)
magazine Subsequently, it was determined from
inquiry at the offices of m Life" Magazine, that
JAFFE was born on 6/19/28.
Passport records of the Department of State_
revieed on 7/27/55, (as set forth in WFO letter of
8/25/55) =
9
reflect that JAFFE , in & supplemental statement dated
6/22/55 in connection with his passport , indicated
that he wished to have his passport amended to all01
him to travel in Communist China a8 a
professional
American journalist_ It was indicated further_
9
that
he had excellent reason to believe that the Red Chinese (Cl
Government would allow him to enter their country as
a journalist in view of the fact that during the
Asian-African Conference at Bandung, Indonesia, he
obtained an interview with Red Chinese Premier CHOU-EN-LAIS

On 4/30/57 , Mr
200 East End Avenue, New York City, advised SA JOHN
F MABEY that the subject, who is presently an employee
of the Columbia Broadcasting System in New York City,
presently resides in an apartment at this address with
his wife and small child_
In view of the information Which is set: forth
in the subject ' 8 investigative file reflecting numerous
past contacts on his part with various Soviets attached
to both the Soviet Embassy in Washington, D.C. , and
the Soviet United Nations Delegation, New York City,
and the fact that the subject kas a history of employment
in the capacity of a news correspondent_
3
the' New York
Office feels that no cortact should be initiated at
this time with the subject concerning his a88ociation
with GRUSHA_ In addition, it 1s to be noted that
(c
following a contact by the subject with KONSTANTIN G
FEDOSEEV Counselorg- Soviet Embassy , Washington D;C_ RuSi
on
7179754, a ~representative of "Time" and
Zife"
Magazines contacted the Bureau, alleging that he believed
JAFFE had been under surveillance by the FBI.
The New York Office feels that subject' s
contact of GRUSHA possibly can be logically explaired
as a normal contact in view of the subject S employment,
and it 18 felt that an interview with JAFFE would
possibly result in embarrassment to the Bureau should
(c)
the subject talre exception to the Bureau' 8 interest
in his activities.
Copies of this letter are being disseminated
to the Washington Field Office and San Francisco Office

epprove, he desires to know if the Department 0f State would have any
objection if he deposited his passport with the nearest Embassy and
entered Communist China, a8suing all risks, as a private citizen. @)
His purpose in visiting Communist China would be in the
capecity of 8 professional journalist for the "Nation" magazine of
America and other American publications to vrrite on wnat 18 taking place
in Red China today- He would al80 seek an interview with Red China' s
leader MAO TSE-TUNG &d other Comrunist officials. He would to
interview the eleven Anerican fliers held by the Reds and the Aericans
who have deflected to the side of the Reds. He would deport himgelf
in the best interests of the U. S. and would provide information to
his Government upon his return.
He has excellent reasons to believe that the Red Chinese
government would allow him to enter their country as a journalist. During
the Asian-African Conference at Bendung, Indonesia, he obtained an interview
with Red Chinese Prenier CHOU-EN-LAT through the offices of Prime
Minister U NU of Burna. He filed a full report of this interview vith the
American Embassy at Rangoon; Burma On 5/20/55 and previously he had
informed the American Consul at Singapore of certein statements CHOU_EN-LAI
made to him during the interview . The Red Chinese know that Prime Minister
U NU thinks well of him.
He was also told by one KANG MAO-CHAO, Counselor for Cultural
Affairs at the Red Chinese Embassy in Newr Delhi that he stood an excellent
chance of being aduitted to his country &s Prenier was impressed by
the way your story was handled, " KANG MAO-CHAO added that also in his
favor wras the fact that CHOU-EN-LAI knew him a8 well as do others in his
government His request for admittance to Red China 18 presently being
()
considered by the authorities at Pekcing.
JAFFE concluded his statement by relating that he hopes that
in making a decision the Department will realize that it would be in the
best interests of our Coverment and our people that an American journalist
be permitted to visit Red China to report firsthand on the state of

Re : Nonna Nikolaeuna Fedoseeva
they ha ve been told by the Rus 8ian 8 they Probably wou ld be
surve #lled 08 0 result of their contact w ith the Rus sians.
The remarks ma de t0 the tazi drivet, 08 rep orted
by plus the activities of this growP, reflect
a defin ite
effort on the ir part to de te rm ine whe the r were actually
under surve illance . The admiasion by the tazi driver that he
did not detect an y surve :lance seemed to indicate that it wa 8
handled properly and with discretion. Thi8 would appear t0 be
borne out further by the fact that when Mr , JAFFEE and hts wife
entered th e Mayflower Hotel looked out of the Hayflouer
Hotel onto the s treet and wete obviously not aware of the fact
that Bureau Agen +8 had them under surve i Ilanc e in the lobby of
the hotel.
The sutueillance of' Mr. and Mr8 . JAFFEE Wa8 discon-
tinued a+ 12*42 Aa Wh en it wa & learned from the cab driver
that they poss ibly wete "newspaper people 1} bu $ thereafter in-
qu iries were mg de in the hotel to determine the identity of the
JAFTEE8 .
In vtew of the difficult ctrcums tonce8 undet wh i ch
this surve illance Was co nduc ted, i+ doe 8 not ap pe ar tha : i+
wa 8 handled indiscreetly and, therefore, n0 administratiue

Mr= and Mrs. JAFFEE were possibly I} newspaper people _ JI
After Mr. and Mr8. JAFFEE alighted fron the taxi cab in
front of the Mayflower Hotel, SA McCEARY located and interviewed tbe
cab drivers ROBERT $ _ DAVIS , a t l7th ad M Streets, N. W, DAVB
informed SA McGEARY that imunediately after picking up the couple at

Approximately 20 minutes after the couple had entered
the hotel for the second bime, SA FLANAGAN , under suitable pretext,
interviewed the elevator operator, who advised that a couple
answering the description of Mr. and Mrs. JAFFEE had gotten off
the elevator at the eighth floor .
Upon receipt of tbe information fron SA McGEARY , as
obtained from the cab driver, that the couple were possibly associated
with the Press, SA KENOYER contacted the appropriate supervisor and
was instructed to discontinue the surveillance in view 0f the
possibility that the unknonm couple were associated With the Press.
It was noted in the early stages of the surveillance that
the Individuels involved Iere extremely surveillance conscious and
the Agents made every attempt to be very discreeta As set forth in
detail ebove, the autorobiles and Agents involved Tere rotated as
much as possible to avoid detection by the persons under surveillance .
Even though it wa8 apparent to the Agents that the parties under
surveillance were apparently looking for a tail, it waS not felt
desirable to discontinue the Surveillance until the couple were
identified. The importance of identifying unknown individuals who
have personal contact with officials Of the Soviet establishments (c |
has been inpressed on the Field by the Bureau 2S a necessary part of'
the Soviet Intensification Programe
On July 10, 1951, SA KENOYER ascertained that the files
of this office reflect that SAM JAPFEE O2 Life magazine on July 6,
1954, discugsed with KONSTANTIN G . FEDOSEEV the prospect of having
dinner together. No definite were made for this dinner Tbe
files also reflected that JAFFEE Tas residing in Room 877 of the
Mayflower Hotel, wich is the saine floor to wich the unkown couple
proceeded on the night of July 9, 195h4. This information was not
evailable to the Agents conducting &he surveillance on July 9, 1954.

(On 14, 1969, Jaffe advised that recently he had
had the Yarochev skiys to his residence for lunch_ Present
lalso were an Aerican correspondent and the latter s wife.)
On February 25, 1971, Jaffe stated he has had no
further contacts with Yarochevskaya, and has: seen Yarochev
once since he had them to his residence for lunch in
of 1969_ Jaffe said he had seen Yarochevskiy in attendance at
an anti-Vietnam war demonstration in Washington, D_ Cs, in
1969 date unrecalled. Yarochevskiy was
walking alone and
carrying a camera, ^and it was not until he was right on top of
the Soviet did Jaffe realize his identity. They exchanged
greetings. Yarochev told Jaffe that they must get together
sometine_
Jaffe stated he had never know Yarochev prior
to their meeting at the Hungarian Eubassy reception on April 17,
1969_ He had known Yarochev skaye previously, but as one
of a number of individuals whose services as translators,
chauffeurs or house maids were made available to foreign
cor-
respondents assigned to Moscow by a Soviet government agency
which Jaffe knew as #UPDK": It 18 Jaffe' 8 impression now, that
Yarochev had been assigned by 'UPDK as a translator, to
Lares Bruger (phonetic), a Svedish national end a correspondent
for a Swedish newspaper , probably in 1965.
Jaffe recalled that both he &d Bruger (phonetic) left
Moscow in 1965 . Jaffe now has the impression that Yarochev
was not married when he knew her in 1965_ Jaffe did not know
her socially.
He did not know her by her maiden name He recog-
nized her at the Hungarian Embassy reception in 1969 but
after Yarochev skaya had refreshed his memory by recalling Moscov.
L
Jaffe said he believes that the "TPDK" was controlled
by the KGB (Ministry of State Security); howev all of the
Persons employed by "TPDK" were not necessarily connected with
Soviet intelligence. Jaffe stated he has no information that
Yarochev or was, connected with Soviet intelligence:

Jaffe offered his opinion that Yarochevskaya may be
connected with Soviet intelligence. He stated his on i5
influenced by the fact that in her 1965 employment as a trans-
lator in Moscow, Yarochev skaya had the opportunity of beconing
acquainted with foreign correspondents assigned to Moscow . His
opinion is influenced also by Yarochev skaya s subsequent
marriage to a personable and younger Soviet who received an
assignment to the United States as a Tass correspondent. Jaffe
stated Yarochevskaya is the Soviet national whom he knows
Who was employed by "'UPDK" as a translator for foreign corres-
pondents, who later: came to the United States_
'Jaffe stated that when he served in Moscow he and
other foreign correspondents often heard references to 8 "Black
Tass" The ruors were that the Tass News kgency abroad Per-
formed two functions_ One was to gather news for dissemination
to the Soviet people through Soviet newspapers and periodicals.
The other

the results of which were never made known to the Soviet people_
but were furnished directly to the KGB in Moscow for transmittal

Tass" operation would be 3 Tass correspondent in Washington, DC.
feeling out his contacts to ascertain what the thinking of gov -
ernment officials Iight be in regard to some
phase of the United
States 6 foreign policy. Jaffe said that "Black Tass" would not
necessarily relate
to espionage.
Jaffe stated the contact he has had in recent
months with Soviet nationals occurred approximately in the end
of January, 1971, exact date unrecalled. Jaffe had just stepped

LIN advised Jaffe to contact him later at which
time he would have a definite answer as to 2
Possible
interview.
On April 1969
9
Jaffe recontacted LIN telephoni cally
at which tine LIN indicated 3 reluctance to grant an interview
with Jaffe, feeling that granting such an interview would
leave the door open to interviews by many other journalists.
LIN hovever , indicated a' desire to talk with Jaffe and after
exchanging telephone numbers and addresses a luncheon
engagement was set for April 28, 1969 , at the faculty lounge
at McGill Uni versity, Montreal, Canada.
On April 28 , 1969
2
Jaffe flew to Montreal and met
LIN for lunch as previously arranged. Jaffe expressed to LIN
his strong desire to visit the China Mainland as 3 correspondent
and suggested that it might be possible thet the Chinese
Government would permit foreign journalists to enter the
China Mainland in connection with the October celebrations.
LIN expressed the on that the October celebrations
would make no difference in the Governnent' s cy concerning
the admittance of journalists, LIN suggested that Jaffe
write a letter by the first of June , 1969
9
to the Chinese
Government indicating that he desired to enter the China
Mainland as a
private citizen, stating that he had interviewed
CHOU En-lai in 1955 as an American journalist and that if
he is permitted to enter China, he Would like to continue
to pursue his career as a
journalist.
~S
LIN indicated that the best way to establish contact
would be through the Chinese Embassy in Paris; however
2
when
Jaffe indicated that he knew no one there and the possibility
existed that the letter Rouldnt be forwarded to the proper
channels LIN stated he would "Be going East in early summer"
and he would be willing to see to it that the letter would
be properly dispatched LIN also suggested that Jaffe' s
letter be sent to him for perusal prior to its dispatch as
he possibly could be Of assistance in vording the letter
correctly. LIN emphasized that Jaffe should indicate in his
letter that he was
writing
as a
private citizen; however , he
should rot try to hide that fack :t he is 2 journalist
and state in the letter that he ked previously been
a journalist
for "'The Nation" and that he would like to Trite and produce
films about Chinae ~S -

LIN also stated that Jaffe should include in his
letter the fact that he woula be Willing to leave his United
States Passport in Hong Kong and when Jaffe indicated to LIN
that he did not think that would be necessary, LIN stated
that maybe "they would not want you to come into China with
a U;S. Passport."
7 S_
Accor to Jaffe, LIN is a
very brilliant
individual well-versed in Soviet-Chinese relations and in
United States relations with China and the Soviet Union_
LIN appeared to be more concerned with Sino-Soviet relations
than with the United States. LIN commented that Cyrus Eaton
is very much interested in bringing China and the: United
States together and stated that Eaton had. sent him an article
fron a Clevelend newspaper on anti-China hysteria vhipping
up in the United Statese
~ Sc
In commenting on the recent newspaper accounts of
the speech of LIN Piao, Vice Primi. Communist China, LIN
stated that he thought it wzs premature to make any judgment
on the speech in its entirety; however , LIN ranked MAO Tse-tung,
CHOU En-lai and LIN Piao almost equally LIN stated that
he did not for a minute think that they ielieve the United
States or the Soviet Union would launch an atomic attack_
do believe the Soviet Union is a serious threat but
dornot think either the United States or the Soviet
Union to launch a premature: attack on .them_ In talking
about moderates, LIN stated that CHOU En-Lai is not a
moderate; he is a.tactician. LIN stated that MAO probably
is the man who really understands the Chanese people
and believed MAO felt he had to start the Cultural Revolution
because there were people in China wno vere doing things for
their omn self interest and MAO had to take action;, including
the unleashing` of the Red Guard to prevent thiso LIN indicated
that he felt MAO has been successful LIN stated that the
Soviet Union is much like the United States but MAO knet

that if these people were allowed to a foothold that
China would revert to the days of CHIANG Kai-shek wken
there was unlimited corruption and he felt this had to be
settled once and for all, LIN stated that MAO , CHOU , and
LIN Piao were unanimous and there was no disagreement anong
them.
LIN stated to Jaffe that he vould not set; foot
in the United States until the Vietnam war was
ended; however ,
later when LIN asked Jaffe if he was aware f the fact that
he (LIN) had been in Hong Kong in 'January, 1969
9
and Jaffe
replied in the affirmative, LIN stated "I am sorry , I am
not being completely honest _ You know that I Tas in 'Seattle."
LIN then explained that en route from Hong Kong to Canada
he decided to return through Seattle to Canada against the
advice of his friends in Hong who indicated that there
might be trouble. LIN stated that he Was detained at the
airport (Seattle) for two hours, was interrogated, and all
personal effects were gone through. LIN stated he was sure
everything Wa S photogcaphed and he was furious_
0
LIN stated
that he subsequently contacted an attorney, "the number one
professor of law at Harvard University, who was also incensed
over the incident
LIN inquired' of Jaffe if he knew other news
correspondents, such as Harrison Salisbury , Doak Barnett,
or Frank Trader
0
LIN indicated that he knew Salisbury well.
and stated that he was sure Salisbury would speak well of
him (LIN) LIN also discussed Mortin Schafer , Canadian
correspondent , who entered China as a tourist and who
apparently concealed a Camera in a cigarette lighter to take
photographs in China Jaffe indicated that that was
unfortunate as it has made it more difficult for foreign
journalists to obtain permission to enter China In commenting
on correspondent Milton Nash, LIN stated that he thought
Nasli was "bright and understandingo 01
LIN was shorm a United States newspaper article
concerning China and LIN exressed a desire to have a copy
of that article: Jaffe promised to send hnim a copy of the

JAFFZ W25 invited to 'TFQ and showed no reluctance to do So
Since he was on general assignnent , he called his office at
the beginning Of each of the first two interviews to the.
telephone rumber at which he could be located He was contacted
by his office during the first interview. On the third interview,
he had vhat he called a
"Bellboy" Signalling device which he
said would receive a signal from his office after which he
would call He indicated he used this device to avoid the
office giving out the FBI telephone nuber to anyone , including
Russians

who might call hin.
JATTE gave the appearance of being a very aggressive
9 fest-talking, smooth operator_ Prior to each interview, he had
been drinking, but Tzs not intoxicated _
The first two interviews were handled as planned, by
asking him to recount his experiences and contacts with Russians
in the USSR and Hong Kong, including kis experiences tith "Slava"
He expressed no hesitancy in talking about his contaets,but
constantly in generalities_

tending to "playdown" his
relations with "Slava"_ He furnished more detail after specific

or
leading questions were put to,him. For example, the disclosures
he made to Tere confirmed in interview ,only after leading
questions_
During the interview on 3/27 /69 , JAFFE wes advised
that interviering agents were concerned regarding a number of
aspects of his relationship with the Soviets and the FBI For
example it Tas noted he had now
disclosed considerable additional
information about his relationship With "Slava"; more than`
previously; that because Of his past relationship Tith Agents
of the NYO , the FBI had a right to expect that he would make
immediate full disclosures of such relationship and his failure
to do 80 raised questions about the reletionship, whether he
has been recontacted by KGB since he left Russia, etc. It &lso
was
pointed out that his expulsion from Russia after he had
been ordered to Hong Kong and his replacenent named , seened
C
somewhat suspicious
9
particulerly since he had been warned that
a defector knew of his relationship with "Slava" that this
defector had in fact reported this relationship and alleged
that he had been an egent of and furnished information to "Slava"
He was urged to now furnish complete information regarding his
relationship with the KGB and to "square the record" with the
FBI
JAFFE did not lose his composure at any time during
the interviews , but.
9 as indicated in the LM, when pressed On
3/27/69 on
his relationship with KGB and his failure to make
complete disclosure to FBI he offered the lane excuse, his
fear of "Slava" but conceded this was a poor excuse for not
reporting the relationship after his return to the United States _
JAFFE was emphatically told that the FBI had not had
any contact with the American Broadcast Company (ABC) with
regard to hin and had-not in any vey labelled him as a
security
risk to any other person or agency He replied that
someone
had done SO and indicated he Tas aware tlat some ABC officials
are very close to CIA.

JAFFE seemed very concerned that ABC did not give
him the diplomatic "beat" or the State Department "beat" which
he seemed to consider his right. It appears he will continue
contacts with the Soviet Bloc people as a means 0f trying to
get such assignments _ To preclude his
use of cooperation with
the FBI as a means to this end he TaS very emghatically tola
that the decision for such continued contaczs was
strictly his
decision and the FBI vould not as him to do So .
It als0 is apparent that JAFFE is intensely interested
in getting a17 assignment to China or Cuba He dlenied that he
had any KCB instructions to do but this, 0f course, is a
definite possibility.P It is not possible to
accurately
assess
this possibility at this time, and it als0 is not possible to
conclude whether he is or is not still in contact with KGB
and acting 2s an agent - He emphatically denied any intelligence
contact since he left Moscow; however_
2
the call which he said
he: received; from BORIS SE:OV dcsiring to show him 2 photograph
seems unusual and i8 possibly contrived_
JAFFE is i1 current contact with; Chinese nationals ,
which he is reporting to who appears to be
very friendly with JAFFE and of course, is interested in
getting him into China

Since the interview of 3/27/69
2
JAFFE has
telephonically furnished sone general information regarding
his current contacts with Soviet and 3atellite nationals and
his unsuccessful efforts to recontact SEDOV _
Based on che interviews ,_ TFO believes that Te should
continue to accept information Volunteered by JAFFE regarding
nis contacts Tith Soviets, Satellites, and Chinese; however_
9
it is believed n0 effort should be made at this tine to direct
his activities or to give him assignments, Particularly since
the possibility exists he would attempt to use any such
relationship
to support his attempts to get certain assignents
from ABC or
otheryise advance his career WFO will follow
this policy, {ecy
In the even JAFFE later reports that he has been
recontacted by RGB to work in the United States, this matter
will be re-evaluated and appropriate recomnendatians_made _
Hrot
WFO will keep this file in a
Pending status for a
limited time to follow JAFFZ' 8 relationship with SEDOV and
fo see if this develops into a KGB follow-UPt If it does
the case will be closed

Jaffe stated tltat "Slava" might have thought
that he (Jaffe) W2s "Sleve 's" agent . Hc continued: "Little

other Soviet connected with Soviet Intelligence anything other
than his Own observations and opinions and denied furnishing
any information from any Government documents. He also
emnphatically denied that KGB had made any arrangenents for
meeting him after be left Moscow or that thz had been .any

'Jaffe_stated
he did not think "Slava" had anything toiao with his expulsion
from Russia He contined : guess iS john Scali, who is
very close io CIA" was responsible for the expulsion. Jaffe
continued : "John wanted to set me up with CIA They (CIA)
would do things in indirect ways. "1 Jaffe then related an in-
cident in which Scali invited several ABC employees t0 2
party, including
an individual introduced to Jeffe a5 a n1 employee
of' the Department of Conmerce, who expressed very much interest
in Ja fe S assignment to Russia_ Jaffe later verified that this
individual Ia & connected with CIA and he feels it would have
been better if the individual had been completely open with him .
Jaffe then stated: "I still believe CIA sent me
to Moscow on the (rrancis Gary) Pojers trial
0
Prior to the
trial, he was approached by 8 CIA representative in California
iho indicated he was aware Jaffe would be sent to Moscow by
Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) Jaffe stated he (Jaffe)
was not aware of it at that time_ Jaffe said he subseguently
was told by another CIA representative whom he met while &ttending
meetings of the Council on Foreign Relations that he had been
picked to g0 to Hoscow with Barbara Powers and Barvin Kalb ,
CBS correspondent
} cover the trial. On the eve 0f his departure,
a CIA representative who claimed he was a psychiatrist gave Jaffe
background material-on spy trials and said "they were very much
interested in determi if Powers is bra inwashed." Jaffe
related that Barbara Powers developed 2 friendship with him
and constantly sought his company and advice and expressed 2
strong dislike for CIA personnel ac0 mpanying them. Jaffe, at
the insistance of Mrs . Powers, wrote a letter to the President
of the Soviet Union appealing for clemency for Powers

Jaffe
continued: "There was nothing physical between uS. We went

Jaffe again indicated that le felt some United
States Government agency was responsible for his reca 11 from
Hong Kong and that it had some connection with an "intelligence"
allegation. He also indicated dislike for his present assign-
ment with ABC in Washington, DeCa , stating that although he
had hoped to cover the "diplomatic beat" or the -State Depart-
ment he is merely on general assignment , sitting around
waiting for miscellancous stories to break.
Jaffe also stated: "I was 4 bit afrai4 of
'Slava I was waiting for them (KGB) 'to_contact me in
Hong Kong. I thought it would have come therea" Jaffe aJso
staked: "You (TBI) have 2 right , after Our relationship" to
inquire about Jaffe' s activities and "I have_ a right to an
answer in a11 honesty" concerning the reason_for the recall
from Hong Kong.
Jeffe stated that viben he returned froil Hong
Kong he asked the head of ABC for 932 explanation 0f his res
cal1 and was tcld he had not produced and had refused to
return to Vietnam Jaffe denied both accusations Jaffe then
went to his immediate superior and was told he was recalled
because of 2 cble he sent from Saigon _ Jaffe asked to be
shown the cable, but his request ves refusede The discussion
between Jaffe am& his immediate superior becane very heated,
with the superier loudly &ccusing Jaffe of being 2 iiar and
Jaffe "uggesting that the superior was mentally i11 for

stated he had seriously considered leaving ABC; however

during

indicated he is trying to obtain an assignment to Red China

Office since 1958 , when he voluntarily informed the New
York Office of his contacts with Soviet officials connected
with the Soviet Mission to the United Nations . During the
period 1958 1961, he furnished New York with information
regarding Soviet personalities and activities considered
important by the New York Office; In November , 1961, he
assumed the position of ABC television correspondent in

MoScOw On 1/7/63 , while on a short return trip to the

situations like the Cuban crisis_ He also requested the
~SRET
source to bring him a
miniphone recording machine from
the United States Source stated that he had never ex-
perienced anything else which would indicate the Soviets
were attempting to compromise him.
Source was expelled by the Soviets in 1965 , only
after it was known to KGB that he was to be replaced by
ABC _ Shortly after his return to the United States_ he
was assigned to Hong Kong by ABC and has not been thoroughly
debriefed concerning his activities in MoscOw _
2) Soviet defector advised that
this individual (SAM JAFFE) was recruited by the KCB
about 1962 He said when JAFFE arrived in 1961 the First
Department of the Second Chief Directorate (SCD) which
operated against the American Embassy
9
and the Tenth De -
Partment of SCD, which operated against foreign corre
spondents_
9
consulted and it was decided that the First
Department would operate against JAFFE for the purpose of
recruiting an American agent moving in American Embassy
circles_ said that in 1962 or 1963 VYACHESLAV
ALEKSANDROVICH KUSKOV was
working with JAFFE, but
did not know if JAFFE was cons idered as an agent or just
an operative contact_ He did know that KUSKOV was meeting
JAFFE and obtained information from him re-
called also that JAFFE was used by KGB in connection with
trips of two groups of Americans to the USSR, where they
met with Prenier KHRUSHCHEV The Seventh Department of
which was_ Vorking against tourists (of which
the Tenth Department , and the First
Department were
ail planning
work against these gr oups _
KGB desired to operate agents against them to find out
what was said by then after meeting with KHRUSHCHEV He
recalled that KUSKOV had been requested to utilize JAFFE
in this connection and furnished information which he had
received from JAFFE . said one group was a group
of businessmen which met with KHRUSHCHEV on 11/6/62 Or
possibly 1963
}
and another group contained some Congress -
men who came to the USSR in connection with the signing of
some treaty pertaining to atomic energy . S-

Fromi comments , it is clear that KGB
considered JAFFE as at least a cooperative source and
it is clear that JAFFE was
furnishing
some type of infor-
mation to KGB officer KUSKOV _

3) Since JAFFE' s arrival in Washington, D.C.
in the Fall of 1965}, he has been observed in contact with
Soviet officials assigned to Washington, D.C, In addition,
on 11/14/68
)
he approached some WFO Agents who were con-
ducting a surveillance on satellite personnel and indicated
that he would like to have contact with the FBI in Washing -
D.C . in the same manner as he had previously had con-
tact in New York He indicated that he was in contact with
Soviets in Washington, D.C _ and would report on then _ WFO
did not initiate contact with him at that time because it
was desired to obtain from New York the complete details
of New York S relations with him, and it was also desired
to interview concerning him_ As indicated_above,
the New York material has now been reviewed and
was intervieved concerning JAFFE by WFO Agents on 2/11/69 ,
~S-
It is considered entirely possible that JAFFE,
while in Moscow, furnished innocuous information to
his KGB contact and did not consider that he was a re-
cruited agent Or source of KGB He should be given
an
opportunity to describe his activities in Moscow. Based
upon review of information pertaining to it appears
that he could be a source against Soviets in Washing-
D.C., provided he is candid concerning his activities
in MOscow and is not, in fact,
a
recruited agent continuing
to report to KGB _ It is believed that an interview with
hin is necessary to assess this potential.
4) As indicated in NYairtel, JAFFE appears to
be concerned regarding derogatory information which has
appeared in a book written by PHOEBE GREENE COURTNEY _ He
has related these allegations to his recall from Hong Kong
by his employer and is concerned regarding the allegation

propitious time to interview JAFFE in an effort to com-
pletely debrief him concerning his contacts with Soviets
during his tour in Moscow and in Hong Kong, as well as
concerning his recent contacts with Soviets in Washington,
D.C.
If the Bureau approves interview with JAFFE ,
it is contemplated that he will be advised that WFO Agents
desire to renew contacts with him previously initiated by
New York Agents_ He will be invited to the Washington
Field Office to discuss in sOme detail his tour of duty
in Moscow and his contacts with Soviets since his return
to this country _ It will be pointed out that WFO desires
to display to him a large number of photographs of Soviets
in this country and in Russia to obtain his comments . If
JAFFE agrees , he will first be requested to describe in
detail his activities in Moscow and in particular his
contacts with the KGB subsequent to those reported in
January 1963 _ He will also be asked if he had any con-
tacts with Soviets while in Kong and if SO , to de-
scribe them. Thereafter he vill be requested to describe

On 9/17/68 telephonically
advised that he would, in all probability, be assigned
in WDC and that he would be going there during the latter
part of that weeka He also advised that while prevlously
in WDC during the week of 9/9/68 , he telephonically contacted

1965 , "Diplomatic_ List" lists Yuri IS
Bobrakov 48 a
Second' Secretary , Sovlet' Embassy , Fashington,
D. C
A Confidential Source ' advised on September 22 ,
1965 _ that on the preceding day he had met witb Bobrakov
and engaged in conversation
Rith
bim_ Source stated, tbat
Bobrakov seemed mainly to be. interested in getting across
the idea tbat the proposed Multilateral' Force: (MLF) is a
bad idea and is a
Stumbling block which 18 ,bolding up agree_
ment at Geneva on disarmament. He said further tbat Bobrakov
expressed considerable concern over the danger 0f Germany 8
obtaining nuclear Weapons_ The Source said he pointed out
to Bobrakov the unusual situation in wbich the United States
and tbe Soviet Union currently found themselves on the same
side at the United Nations Security Council, endeavoring to
keep the peace .
Bobrakov
1
homever , had no comment on this point.
Bobrakov told the Source that .bis wife is an
artist, wbo por has about twenty of ber own paintinge , most
of wbich she bas done while in the United States.
In the opinion of the Source; Bobrakov is not very
suave or adept at conversation and may be somewha t uncolfort_
able in, dealing with Americans Source also gained tbe im_
pression that Bobrakov 's sense of bumor is almost nonexistent.
Source stated that Bobrakov attended a reception at
the Ebasby of Czechoslovakia cn the evening of September 21,
1965 :
