# 90SUBJECT: Progress Report/LICO-5 (1 November 1966 - 15 January 1967)REFERENCES: 11420, 1 December 1966P-2712 January 19671. The last Progress Report (see Reference) reported developments in   Station through 31 October 1966; but not included were Subject's activities at   Conference in London to which Subject traveled on 22 October 1966. This will be reported later.2. ContactsA. Subject and Case OfficersApart from Subject's frequent visits in Moscow during October 1966 and to former KGB case officer in Mexico, Oleg Nechiporenko, Subject since his return to Mexico from London and Israel trip in mid-November has spent only 9 times on four occasions with a total time of less than an hour.In Moscow, where Subject was attending the IRIST Conference, Subject was visiting briefly every day in his room at the Hotel National by Nechiporenko, from 24 October through 28 October.First contact by the Soviets on Subject's return to Mexico was effected by KGB case officer Aleksandr Vladimirovich Irikhodko (201-202379) on 3 December in Subject's office for a few minutes. On 8 December, Valentin Sergeyevich Loginov (201-120231), Subject's regular KGB case officer, called Subject down to the street outside Subject's office to present him with Bolshoi Ballet tickets. On 18 December, Loginov visited Subject's office and spent no more than half an hour there. And on 30 or 31 December, Subject was paid a brief visit by former KGB officer (possible candidate for resident) (201-120123) at Subject's office.B. Subject and Mexico City Station Case OfficerIn the two months since Subject's return from Europe in mid-November, the C/O, in addition to routine, has seen Subject six times for an approximate total of nine hours.The C/O met Subject at his office on 22 November for two hours.In December, the C/O met Subject three times, on 8 December at his office for almost two hours, on 13 December at the Hotel Refoma for a half-hour, and on 22 December at Subject's office for an hour.On 7 January, the C/O and his wife took Subject to dinner at the Belvedere Room of the Hotel Continental Hilton, to repay Subject for a former invitation to Subject's home. On 12 January, the C/O met Subject at the latter's office for one hour.3. Operational DevelopmentsA.

# 934. Subject returned to the C/O about Leginov's permanent mentions on 19 November of same day (as paragraph A. above). The C/O re if he had intentions of Leginov why the latter was cooking such situations. Subject said that although he was completely puzzled by this tack on the part of the Soviets, that Subject said he felt perfectly at ease in telling the truth to the Soviets, and had no hesitation in showing them his documentation.The C/O crossed by Subject's office on 22 December, after having delivered a Christmas gift of liquor to Subject's home the previous day. Subject reported 2) on Soviet travel for Georgi Visko, and said he had met Viskov's related Victor M. Ivanov.2) that he had received a holiday-season letter from the Department official now in Chile. /Comments re: Soviets in Mexico through Subject. Nothing occurred of it.3) Subject reported that he had received a firm invitation from the Air France to go on the inaugural flight of Air France to Algiers.Subject reported in November 1967, to which Subject had replied that he "would look into it," and expressed himself as neutral about his going, but offered to assist the C/O if the C/O had any interest in his taking the trip. The C/O replied that this would be examined.The C/O then discussed seriously with Subject the question of how to handle his break-off from the Soviets really was, inasmuch as there was some scepticism about Subject that the scepticism came from the Soviets and not shared by the C/O. The C/O asked Subject to honor his previous request to report the names of his personal documentation.Subject readily offered to inform his previous contacts in Mexico: he was convinced that the control would deny the Soviets any access to the Soviets' case (the Station's approval was required); even though he might jokingly still inform his friendly new Soviets with his personality. He explained his willingness to pass his documentation to the Soviets, because he wasn't afraid of them. Subject added that he'd show those "bastards" his documentation to see if he could get the go-ahead on passing the documentation to the Soviets concerning it.On 15 January 1967, the C/O (having received the Station's expression of interest in having Subject follow up the invitation from Air France) asked Subject for more details concerning the invitation from Air France, and gave him his approval to pursue the matter.4. The current C/O, Frantice R. Varheine, will turn Subject over to Frank Coigne before Subject's departure from Mexico the end of January 1967.

[104-10173-10135.pdf — page 100]
# 13.INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES:(Cf. also information under Contacts, below, Subject has undoubtedly been developing contacts, particularly with American girls, with a view toward Intelligence possibilities.)In December 1961 while travelling with the Dynamo soccer team, Subject met a Bolivian security/official in La Paz, Bolivia and reportedly tried to persuade him to study in Cuba. The source, however, is believed to be a fabricator. (28).After Subject saw the soccer team off, he continued to Panama, where he met with a Mexican citizen, Edmundo Fausto ZORRILLA Martinez (P-2818) on 16 Dec 1961, and On 17 Dec 1961 Subject and ZORRILLA travelled to Mexico City on the same plane. Subject had ca. (US) $ 2,000 with him in Panama. (29).On 14 Feb 1966 KGB officer Aleksandr Vladimirovich PRIKHODKO (201-202379) turned an agent over to Subject. (The agent had previously been handled by Subject's predecessor, Oleg Maksimovich NECHIPORENKO.).On 14 Apr 1966 the agent attempted to break his intelligence relationship with the Soviets, although he has remained in business and social contact with them, Subject, occasionally joined by PRIKHODKO, has continued to give intelligence requirements to the agent, and questioned him particularly about his access to the U.S. Embassy and tried to persuade him to continue cooperating with the KGB. On 24 Jun 1966 Subject asked the agent for Information on Eduardo WEBELMAN and his son Mauricio. On 13 Dec 1966 Subject asked the agent to try to find out who the WOFACT chief in Mexico was. (6). (Comment:Mauricio WEBELMAN was subsequently reported to be a friend of suspect KGB officer Yevgenly Nikolayevich GORLITSYN's.)

13(12; cont.)On 20 Jan 1966 Cristobal TORRES Ponce, chauffeur employed by the U.S. Embassy in Mexico, was sent to the Soviet Embassy to pick up the passport of the wife of a U.S. Embassy official who was planning a trip to the USSR. Subject talked to TORRES, asked him if he would like to visit the USSR or receive Soviet magazines, and if he knew anyone who would be willing to give him English lessons, and finally made a dinner date with TORRES for 24 Jan 1966. When TORRES did not keep the date, Subject called him on 8 and 9 Feb 1966 In an attempt to keep the contact alive. (12, 14).Subject dealt with the Federal District police several times in July 1966 In regard to a radio that had been stolen from his car. On 20 Jul 1966 the policeman (LNO) who had been handling the radio case reported to his superlor, General Luls CUETO Ramirez, that Subject had offered him 5,000 pesos/(4,000 dollars) a month if he would work for him. After consulting with the Minister of Interlor, CUETO told the policeman to accept Subject's offer, which he reportedly did on 21 Jul 1966. Subject's first assignment to the policeman was to locate Venezuelan citizens Nicolas Juan BOSTROEM and his wife. (16). (Comment: Nothing further has been learned about this case. BOSTROM is a native Russian employed by Stephens-Adamson de Mexico, his wife teaches Russian at the Ibero-American University.)Subject has occaslonally been reported visiting the small general store located across the street from the Soviet Embassy. On 5 Nov 1966 Subject reportedly questioned the store owner about occupants of one apartment building in the same block as the store, and on 6 Dec 1966 he asked general questions about the new apartment building at the end of the block. (8).(Comment: Both of these buildings contain base houses for the fixed surveillance of the Sovlet Embassy.)

15. CONTACTS.a. Sov let Contacts:Subject has been seen coining and going at the Soviet Embassy most frequently with Pavel Antonovich YATSKOV (201-120123, known KGB), for whom Subject replaced as Consul. Since Subject's departure on home leave on 16 Jul 1967, YATSKOV has been regularly using Subject's car.Subject has also been observed leaving the Soviet Embassy fairly often with Ivan Konstantinovich BARANOV (201-277838, known KGB sweeper) and Boris Aleksandrovich MALAKHOVICH (201-767974, suspect KGB technician).

(7).In May 1966 Subject reportedly gave the wife of Aleksandr Aleksandrovich (201-784917, known KGB) a hard time when she wanted to send her son to the USSR with another Soviet wife. NIKITIN then complained to Aleksandr AleksandrovichVladimirovich PRIKHODKO (201-202379, known KGB), who reportedly ordered Subject to get a ticket for the NIKITIN child. (1). Cf, also above, where PRIKHODKO seems to be the senior case officer for an agent currently being handled by Subject.In May 1967 LOGINOVA mentioned that she had known Boris Aleksandrovich CHMYKHOV (201-268115, known GRU) for years. (1). (Comment: CHMYKHOV was stationed in Havana 1960-62, at the same time that Subject was there.)Cf. below for report of Subject's having taken CHMYKHOV with him to Cuernavaca to meet ZAREBSKI.Subject has also been reported in contact with the following Soviets not stationed in Mexico:Vitaliy Konstantinovich BOYAROV (201-355606, known KGB), visited Mexico 27 May - 9 Jun 1966.
