This suspicious behavior was somehow connected with

In addition; SHAKHOV Wa8 close to one
SEPSTEIN (possibly WILLIAM EPSTEIN Canadian |
employed by the United Nations) who was suspected
of connection with Americang British,and Israeli
Intelligence and wa S also at one time connected with
Soviet Intelligence. Investigation of SHAKHOV had
been initiated before 1962, possibly 1960 or 1961.
After NOSENKO' s 1962 report regarding coverage in
Geneva, PFTR IVANOVICH MASSYA was later sent to
Geneva with a delegation and also checked SHAKHOV
negatively
NOSENKO commented that although the file was
closed

any KGB officer who would be present at any
