# SECRETCONTINUATION OF DISPATCH HMMA-32172duty (identified from mug shots): Ivan Petrovich KARCHIN (201-782164), Valentina Georgiyevna MUKHINA, wife of Anatoliy Aleksandrovich MUKHIN (201-293944), Stanislav Sergeyevich SILNIKOV (201-271103), Ivan Fedorovich SOLOMATIN (201-307933), and Nikolay Ivanovich ZAKHAROV (201-779288).3. To gain entry through the foot gate, the would-be visitor presses the white doorbell button to the left of the foot gate. This button rings a buzzer inside the gatehouse. The guard on duty promptly looks through the observation window which directly faces the footgate. If, presumably, the guard is satisfied that the caller or callers do not look dangerous or suspicious, he disengages the gate latch electronically by pressing one of the two release buttons inside the gatehouse. After the gate latch disengages, it is up to the caller to push (or, when the caller is leaving, pull) the gate open and then close it behind him. The gate locks automatically when closed. According to LIROCKET-1, there is a keyhole on the inside of the gate, but there definitely is no keyhole on the outside. LIROCKET-1 has never seen anyone open the gate with a key.4. LIROCKET-1 has been present in only about five instances when non-Soviets in vehicles have sought admittance through the vehicle gate, which is adjacent to the foot gate. In each of the five instances, the callers have been delivery men whose trucks have apparently been recognized by the guard. In each instance, the truck has pulled up with its nose to the vehicle gate and. the guard has walked to the gate and opened it manually. The vehicle gate consists of two doors which open inward. It is secured by one dead bolt from one door to the other. LIROCKET-1 has never noticed a padlock on the gate. After being admitted to the Embassy grounds, the trucks in each case have driven unaccompanied to and parked under the portecochere on the north side of the main Embassy building. After closing the gate, the guard has returned to the gatehouse, where although LIROCKET-1 has never actually observed a guard doing so he has evidently telephoned someone inside the main building to give notification of the truck's arrival.5. LIROCKET-1 has been present përhaps 25 times when pedestrian callers (delivery men, students, persons on visa business) have rung the foot gate buzzer, and in each instance the guard has routinely let them in without going to the gate to question them or observe them more closely. On one occasion, as many as four young Mexican males who appeared to be university students rang the buzzer while LIROCKET-1 was inside the gatehouse, and the guard let them in in the routine manner.6. Once inside the gate, the pedestrian caller is expected to present himself at the gatehouse door, which is usually left open, and state his business. The guard then either goes next door to summon an Embassy official from one of the two offices oft the Reception Room, or, as in Subject's case, uses the interphone to call someone inside the main building. (In LIROCKET-1's case, the guard calls one of his Soviet students.) If instructed to have the caller wait, the guard shows him into the Reception Room. LIROCKET-1 himself has been asked to wait in the Reception Room about 55 times. On approximately 15 occasions, he has been invited into the gatehouse by the guard on duty to chat. On the latter occasions, he has either remained in the gatehouse until one of his Soviet students has appeared to escort him into the main building or has left the gatehouse after a few minutes and gone to the Reception Room to continue waiting for one of his students to arrive. On approximately 60 of LIROCKET-1's visits to the Embassy.
