SECRET-3-3. Among other nasty little remarks made by LOGINOV, including references to the open letter against the Ambassador, the war in Vietnam, the Negro problem, the difficult financial position of the dollar, et cetera, was a reference to this Station. LOGINOV at one point asked the undersigned where he worked (not the first time he has asked this). The undersigned told him that he worked in the Consular General's Office. LOGINOV then said, "What about the fifth floor?" The undersigned told him that the fifth floor comprised both the Ambassador's Office and the Political Section. LOGINOV went on to say something like, "I know about the Ambassador, but what about the other offices, those occupied by WOFIRM?" The undersigned let that one go by as LOGINOV had obviously found it very funny. He proceeded to pay back the Soviets a litt'e later by counting on his fingers the number of visas issued at the Soviet Embassy each year, the number of cultural exchanges handled by the Embassy staff, and "all the work done for trade promotion with Mexico." The undersigned felt tha the Soviets probably issued some five visas a month, if thac many, had about ten cultural exchanges a year, and had practically no trade with the Mexicans. What, then, he asked, were the 40 odd "diplomats" in the Soviet Embassy doing in Mexico? LOGINOV laughed, but he laughed green and promptly broke off this conversation.4. The undersigned had no opportunity to talk at any length with Ambassador HANUS, who was very busy at the reception. The Ambassador, however, greeted him warmly and gave him a prolonged bear hug as he left. The undersigned had no talk with the Cubans except a few words which hẹ exchanged with Sergio MARTINEZ, whom he had not met before.Raymond A.

CONTACT REPORTSUBJECT: BESABER P-8777DATE OF MEETING: 16 May 19681. I met Subject in his room in the Del Paseo Hotel from 1415-1630. The next meeting will be arranged by telephone.2. LOGINOV. Subject reported that LOGINOV called him at his factory in Cuernavaca on Friday, 3 May. LOGINOV said he had some visitors who would like to buy a few things to take back with them to Russia and asked if it would be convenient if he brought them down to Subject's factory on Saturday afternoon, 4 May. Subject said fine and invited LOGINOV and the visitors to come back to his house for a few drinks after they finished shopping. LOGINOV gratefully accepted and said they would be there at 1330. (Per LIENVOY--see attached transcript--LOGINOV called BEWEEP on 3 May to ask for Subject's telephone number.)3. LOGINOV arrived (in 19 DA, a dark blue Chevy) at the factory at 1345 with three other persons:(a) A big, fat, plain, peasant-looking woman by the name of "IGOROVA," "IGANOVA," or something similar. LOGINOV introduced her as a commercial representative, but did not elaborate..(b) A second Russian woman whose name Subject couldn't remember. She looked to be 33-35 years old and wore glasses. LOGINOV did not mention her profession, and she seemed simply to be a friend of the first woman.cc: P-9097 (P-11712
[104-10174-10065.pdf — page 186]
(c) The son of one of the above two women. He appeared to be about 12 years old.4. LOGINOV and his three companions shopped for about an hour while Subject worked in his office, and in the end bought 450-500 pesos worth of merchandise (at wholesale prices, of course). Subject and the four Russians then left together, got into their respective cars, and drove to Subject's home with Subject leading the way. When they were driving into Subject's driveway, Subject, in view of his wife and two children and the four Russians, accidentally ran over and broke the back of one of the BESABERS' beloved dachshunds. Chaos reigned for the next ten minutes as Subject went into the house, got his pistol, and returned and shot the dog while the children screamed, Mrs. BESABER tried to suppress her own tears and shoo away the children at the same time, and the four Russians sat aghast in their car and watched. LOGINOV acted extremely sorry and did his best to console Mrs. BESABER and Subject. Mrs. BESABER recovered quickly, however, and soon had all the adults seated in the living room. Subject served the first round of drinks, and within a half hour everyone was at least reasonably relaxed again.5. LOGINOV was the only one who did not take an alcoholic drink. He wore dark sunglasses all afternoon and explained that he had to stay away from liquor because he was taking antibiotics for an eye infection. Despite this ailment and inability to take a drink, LOGINOV was nevertheless more sociable and friendly than Subject had ever seen him. He also struck Subject as being
[104-10174-10065.pdf — page 187]
more relaxed than in the past. He brought the BESABERS two bottles of vodka and two cans of caviar, asked why Subject hadn't called or visited him at the Embassy, addressed Subject only as "tu" (where he had formerly mixed "tus" and "usteds" with Subject), enthusiastically toured the BESABERS' new house, and patiently translated for the two Russian women, neither of whom spoke Spanish or English. The conversation was generally dull, however, and nothing even mildly controversial was discussed. The Russians finally left about 1700.6. In the course of the conversation, Mrs. BESABER asked LOGINOV when they were ever going to get together to play tennis. (Mrs. BESABER had of course previously invited LOGINOV to play tennis with her sometime at the home of a retired American gentleman in Cuernavaca (1.e., Col. Lawrence HIGGINS) who was a good friend and who had an exceptionally good court.) LOGINOV replied that he still wanted very much to play, but that it was always a question of time for him. "Why didn't LOGINOV come down to Cuernavaca next Saturday morning (11 May)?" Subject interjected. He (LOGINOV) and Mrs. BESABER could play tennis in the morning while Subject was working, and then they could all spend the afternoon at home relaxing. LOGINOV replied that that sounded great, but asked what he was going to do with his wife and child. Mrs. BESABER answered that of course they expected him to bring Mrs. LOGINOV and the child with him. LOGINOV said that would be very nice and he'd like to accept the invitation right at that moment, but he was afraid that his schedule was such that he was going to have to hold off on a definite answer until later in the week. OK, and Subject, "will you call me, or shall I
[104-10174-10065.pdf — page 188]
call you?" Well, replied LOGINOV, why didn't they leave it that if he didn't hear from Subject, he would call Subject, and vice versa. Subject agreed.7. Subject said he waited until Friday morning, 10 May, to hear from LOGINOV, and when LOGINOV didn't call, he called LOGINOV (confirmed by LIENVOY). LOGINOV, according to Subject, said he was afraid he was not going to be able to make it, after all, because the Mayor of Moscow was visiting Mexico and he would be tied up with the Mayor on Saturday. Subject said he suggested that perhaps they could make it for the following Saturday, then. LOGINOV replied that he thought he might be able to make it then, but, again, he couldn't say for sure just then. "But anyway," LOGINOV added, "we're going to be seeing each other more often because we've (i.e., the Soviet Embassy) taken a house on Calle Umbolt (in Cuernavaca) for the summer, and I'll be coming down to Cuernavaca every weekend." Subject expressed pleasure at this and said that he'd expect to hear from LOGINOV sometime soon then. LOGINOV assured Subject he would.8. BEWEEP. BEWEEP called Subject in Cuernavaca about 1400 on 10 May. He said he wanted to tell Subject that a Polish musical group was about to open at Bellas Artes and would be playing some of Subject's grandfather's music. (Subject's paternal grandfather was a pupil of Franz Liszt and, according to Subject, is generally regarded in Poland as the second greatest Polish composer next to Chopin.) BEWEEP asked if Subject was going to be in Mexico City the following week and if he'd have time to accompany DEWEEP to Bellas Artes for a performance. Subject said that unfortunately, he wouldn't be able to go, but suggested that
[104-10174-10065.pdf — page 189]
REMEEF bring the musicians to his home in Cuernavaca for an afternoon. BEWEEP said he wasn't sure if they could work it into their schedule, but he'd check and let Subject know if they could come. (Neither Subject nor BEWEEP said anything about the "vacation trip" they discussed on 10 April.)SB/L

At 0945 hours 2 April 1968, Subject called for Valentin Sergeyevich LOGINOV and left a message that he was the person who was going to give LOGINOV English lessons. He also left his telephone number: 11-02-88. (This is listed in the reverse directory for Maya Internacional SA de CV; it does not appear however in the current telephone directory.)2. At 1208 hours on 2 April, Sra. Cora (Inu) tells LOGINOV chat the teacher she recommends for him is 21 years of age, studying for his doctorate in literature in Mexico, and prior to returning to England is willing to give lessons; he is presently giving classes for other PhD's.3. At 1320 hours, LAMBERT tells LOGINOV that Sra. Cora told him to get in touch with LOGINOV regarding English lessons. LAMBERT would like to talk about it. LOGINOV agrees, but says he is very busy right now and will call LAMBERT at the end of the week to make arrangements.4. Source: LIENVOY 2 April 1968, all on 15-60-55.![signature]Wanda L.

# SECRET2 May 1968CONTACT REPORTSUBJECT : LIOVAL-1DATE OF MEETING : 30 April 19681.  Subject called me on 29 April and we agreed to meet at the restaurant "Bocana". The meeting lasted from 14:30 to 15:40. I advanced Subject 500 MN for his Russian lessons. Next meeting is at the Bocana at 13:45 on 17 May.2.  Subject reported that he had gone by the IICMR to inquire about Russian lessons but was totally unimpressed. He gave his name and talked to the Director of Courses whose name he didn't get. He will write up the details for the next meeting.3.  He then contacted VIDIELLA at the latter's Institute and invited him out to discuss Russian lessons. Since it wasn't a personal matter VIDIELLA suggested that they bring along a couple of the students. Odile MORISSET, a French teacher also came along. They went to Sanborn's cocktail lounge. While talking Sra. MORISSET (she is divorced) invited Subject to her home for a party and said he could spend the night with her is he came. She gave her address as, Paris 7, Apt. 5. Subject described her as ca. 40 years old. Later VIDIELLA told Subject that MORIESET will sleep with anybody and that he usually shacks up with her on Fridays.4.  Subject told VIDIELLA that he had gone to the IICMR but it looked poor. VIDIELLA agreed, saying the teachers are no good. He did not say that he is or was connected with the IICMR. VIDIELLA suggested that Subject take private lessons from him. Subject protested that he would need accreditation which he could use for further formal study. VIDIELLA said Subject could study with him and then take exams at the Institute which would give him a certificate for that level. He said the Director would be glad to do this. So they agreed. VIDIELLA will give Subject private classes at Subject's afternoon school twice a week from 19:00 to 20:00 on Mondays and Wednesdays. Price will be 50 MN per lesson. Subject paid him 400 MN in advance. The first lesson was on 29 April. Since 1 May is a holiday Subject will go to VIDIELLA's apt. He gave his address as Romero de Terreros 1153 apt. 1 (we had #922, apt. 1) and telephone 43-80-16.SECRETFile: P-8903P-4805P-11712

SECRET- 2 -5. In the presence of all VIDIELLA boasted about his great Soviet Friend, Valentino, the consul (this is obviously LOGINOV). The two students and MORISSET all seemed to know LOGINOV personally. One of the students asked VIDIELLA if he had been invited to the Soviet 1 May celebration. He said that he hadn't. He then asked Subject, if he knew any Soviets. Subject answered as casually as he could that he had known one casually with whom he used to go fishing and changed the subject. Subject didn't feel that VIDIELLA VAs fishing for information but I am not so sure.6. I briefed Subject on what to look for in his lessons with VIDIELLA, to tako short notes, and to have a written report for our next meeting.Francis J. COIGNESECRET

SECRETMay 2, 1968No. 080**SUBJECT: Soviet Cultivation of British Subjects**1.  It has come to our attention that the Soviets, specifically KGB officers, have been looking around for English language instructors. One KGB officer, Valentin Sergeyevich LOGINOV, is notorious for using this tactic to assess contacts who may be of use to him.2.  Among the persons in whom LOGINOV is reported to have shown interest are two British subjects:a. A young student, (fnu) LAMBERT, who is studying for a doctorate in literature in Mexico and who prior to returning to Britain is giving English lessons.b. Walter James PLUMB, Director of the Anglo-Merican Institute.3.  It is suggested that you might wish to contact these individuals to determine if the Soviets are indeed cultivating them. I would appreciate receiving the results of such interviews.W.L.VERMILYE:vgpDistribution:Orig - SMICA1- 50-2-62- P-11712

29 March 1968MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD1. On the occasion of the visit of the local Consular Association to the "Home Fair" on 28 March the undersigned conversed on and off with Jiri SVESTKA (P-7111), Second Secretary of the Czechoslovak Embassy and known member of the Czech Intelligence Service. The undersigned asked SVESTKA what was going on in his country. The Czech launched into an explanation which sounded like a recitation. The essence of his comments was that when leaders have lost touch with the people, they should be replaced. The recent changes in Czechoslovakia would ensure more democracy for the people and would more closely represent their views and take care of their needs. Fifteen years in power, he said, is a long time for a leader. The undersigned pointed out that the recent changes in Czechoslovakia might not please "everybody", SVESTKA agreed that this was bound to happen, but that his country had the right to do what it wanted without worrying too much about the opinion of some of its neighbors. The undersigned then went one step further and pointed out that ULBRICH from East Germany for one seemed to be worried about possible repercussion of the Czech reforms on his regime. SVESTKA said he did not care what ULBRICH said or did and repeated that the Czechs are masters of their country. When the undersigned pointed out that the new president was not a member of the Communist Party but had headed a Czech Division that fought with the Russians SVESTKA agreed that this was a good choice that should please a lot of people. Throughout his talk with the undersigned, however, SVESTKA tried to play down the degree to which things are going to change in his country as a result of recent reforms.2. Just to test SVESTKA a little further, the undersigned asked him what he thought of the U.S. elections. With a broad grin SVESTKA stated that Senator KENNEDY would undoubtedly be the next president. When the undersigned replied that he hoped not, SVESTKA said, "If I were an American I would vote for him." Valentin LOGINOV of the Soviet Embassy joined the conversation at this point. The two went on to say that KENNEDY was the only candidate for peace and social justice, that he had their moral support and sympathy (this given reports for an intel, report) etc. SVESTKA added that the war in Vietnam was good for the U.S. economy. The undersigned told him that the USSR manufactured more rockets than bathtubs and more machine guns than cars.Raymond S. FRADYER

# MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORDSUBJECT: Jorge ARIAS Buerba12 March 19681.  Subject is a 26 year old Mexican citizen (although he looks to be in his 30's). He is a Spanish teacher at the Mexican-North American Institute and since the fall of 1967 has held a second job as the director of the Community Services Program at the American School. In April 1967 he married an American citizen from the Chicago area named Donna WEINTHALLER (phonetic). They live at Juanacatlan 15, which is just around the corner from the Soviet Embassy. Home phone is 15-28-49.2.  Subject was recommended as a Spanish tutor in August 1966 by Enrique GUTIERREZ Martinez (P-12667), who was then C/SB's Spanish tutor. GUTIERREZ was subsequently recruited by C/SB as a utility agent but has since been dropped because he is related to other Station assets. On GUTIERREZ's recommendation, I began taking private Spanish lessons from Subject in August 1966. I found Subject an excellent teacher and continued taking lessons from him until December 1966. In March 1967, my wife and I had Subject as a teacher in Spanish courses we took at the Mexican-North American Institute. I have maintained intermittent social contact with Subject since March 1967, and my wife has become friendly with Subject's wife, having visited her at her apartment two or three times and having had her to our home during the day an equal number of times. I have alsoFiles: P/2671
[104-10174-10065.pdf — page 203]
kept informed to some extent about Subject through his younger brother, Javier ARIAS Buerba, from whom I have been taking Spanish lessons since July 1967.3. Subject was a casual contact of Station officer Olivia C. RAGNITY in 1965 and 1966. than a file card noting this contact, " .... Station traces on either Jorge or Javier ARIAS Buerga..4. Subject and I from the beginning have had a very friendly and informal relationship. He is an intelligent person with a friendly, open personality and a good sense of humor. Politically, he is pro-American to the point that he magnifies our strengths and positive qualities and tends to minimize or overlook negative factors in our society. Subject knows I am with the Political Section of the Embassy and that I have been in the Soviet Union. We have consequently gotten onto the topic of Russians and Comunism several times, and he has always come out a strong anti-Communist. He has one brother and two sisters living in the United States. The brother is married to an American and lives in Virginia, where he is in the construction business. One of the sisters is also married to an American and lives in California (I believe San Francisco). The second sister is married to a Polish immigrant and lives with him in Chicago. The sister in California is a naturalized American citizen. The brother and the sister in Chicago are not.5. On 24 April 1967, LIENVOY reported the following call from GAZIYEV to LOGINOV:GAZ: "I saw him, he arrived yesterday."
[104-10174-10065.pdf — page 204]
LOG: "Excellent. Then I'd like to see you to discuss certain things."GAZ: "Then I can come there tomorrow?"LOG: "No, better Wednesday."GAZ: "All right. He usually comes there at 6 o'clock. He got married and came here with his wife. Now they look for an apartment. I'll go there on the 10th, because I want to attend courses in English. This week I'll be busy."LOG: "OK, until the next then."6. From this conversation, it appeared that GAZIYEV was probably talking about Subject, since:(a) GAZIYEV had been taking Spanish at the Mexican-North American Institute and I knew from Subject that Subject had had GAZIYEV in one of his classes, that Subject occasionally chatted with GAZIYEV after class, and that GAZIYEV had once given Subject an invitation to a Consular night at the Soviet Embassy (although Subject told me he had not gone).(b) Subject had gotten married that month.(c) Subject had just returned to Mexico with his bride.(d) Subject and his wife were looking for an apartment.(e) Subject normally arrived at the Institute at 1800 to teach evening Spanish classes.7. Prior to this reported telephone conversation, I had considered using Subject as an access agent against GAZIYEV, but had decided not to approach Subject on the matter unless there was evidence that his relationship with GAZIYEV was developing into something more than occasional chats between classes. I did not see much potential in approaching Subject before this with onezde the idea of having him deliberately cultivate a friendship with GAZIYEV, as I felt Subject was living
