Summary  
This document details FBI-CIA cooperation during 1963, focusing on intelligence operations, conflicts between agencies, and specific cases involving Soviet and Cuban agents. It highlights Director John McCone’s management of CIA activities, including disputes with the FBI over operational methods and information sharing. Key topics include: (1) CIA’s role in monitoring Soviet and Czech intelligence networks, such as the penetration of GRU and KGB; (2) FBI efforts to identify Soviet mail drops and track defectors like Anatoli Golzityzyka and Michael Goleniewski; (3) conflicts over handling sensitive information, including a dispute involving a letter attributed to McCone that led to tensions with the President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board; (4) the case of Jack Dunlap, an NSA employee who allegedly spied for the Soviets and later committed suicide, potentially compromising CIA source Oleg Penkowsky; and (5) discussions about expanding coverage of non-Soviet bloc countries. The document also notes CIA assistance in developing informants and technical intelligence operations, including Soviet secret writing techniques.
