MEXICO CITY 0117 (in 87362)1. In accordance with Reference A, Russell K. MUCHARIE   (alias Ted KELLY) joined Willard B. ARSALON for a meeting with   BESABER on 23 January (see Reference A) and met the latter   alone for 45 minutes on 2 February.2. After determining that BESABER has had social contact   with Subject of 201-285412 (Iden A), Subject of 201-116900   (Iden B), and AFTONGLE, the discussions with respect to Soviet   officials in Mexico were limited to these three officials. In   the course of the conversations, we told him that Iden A is   a known KGB officer and unknown officer, but that   we have no hard evidence to establish AEJUNGLE as an intelligence   officer. He was told that our principal objective in his   contact with Soviet officials is to obtain personality data   and operational information or use against such Soviets, to   effect their defection in place or outright. Since BESABER has   been working with us extensively on the Polish target for over   two years, none of the above was new to him.3. Subject had the following to say about each of the   Soviets mentioned above:a. Iden A - This Soviet is just learning to handlehimself well. In the social situations demanded by hisposition in the Embassy, BESABER believes he can beinduced to act his own "drum." Given a situationbrought in via a social relationship, could besufficiently persuasive, he would be an easy targetfor a reasonably pretty, and well-dressed Polish female.During the now social situation at the Polish Embassy,at which BESABER had an opportunity to observe thisSoviet should defer more to AEJUNGLE rather becauseof the latter's social race and high diplomaticstanding, or because of possible intelligence affinitybetween the two could not be determined.(Continued)CROSS REF201-116900Origin: 285412Date: 1 February 1967Ext.

# 332.January 197.SUBJECT: Progress Report/LEGUET-2 (1 November 196-15 January 1967)REFERENCE: HIMA-30722, 1 December 1966The last Progress Report (see Reference) reported developments in the period through 31 October 1966; but not included were Subject's activities at the INTURIST Conference in Moscow to which Subject traveled on 22 October 1966. These activities will be reported below.2. Contacts## A. Subject and  KGB Case Officer(201-355670)Apart from Subject's frequent visits in Moscow during October 1966 from a former KGB case officer in Mexico, Oleg Nechiporenko, Subject since his return to Mexico from his European and Israel trip in mid-November has seen KGB officers on four occasions for a total time of less than an hour.In Moscow, where Subject was attending the INTURIST Conference, Subject was visited briefly every day in his room at the Hotel National by Nechiporenko, from 24 October through 23 October.First contact by the Soviets on Subject's return to Mexico was effected by FO case officer Alexander Vladimirovich Prikhodko (201-202579) on 3 December in Subject's office for a few minutes. On 8 December, Valentin Sergeyevich Loginov (201-280412), Subject's regular KGB case officer, called Subject down to the street outside Subject's office to present him with Bolshoi Ballet tickets. On 13 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 Yarel Yatskov, KGB officer (and possible candidate for resident) (20-120129) at Subject's office.## B. Subject and Mexico City Station Case OfficerIn the two months since Subject's return from Europe in mid-November 1966, the C/O, Prentice R. Larieine, 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 6 December at his office for almost two hours, on 13 December at the Hotel Reforma for a half-hour, and on 22 December at Subject's office for one hour.On 7 January 1967, the C/O and his wife took Subject and his wife out for dinner at the Belvedere Room of Hotel Continental Hilton, to reciprocate for a former invitation to Subject's room. On 12 January, the C/O met Subject at the latter's office for one hour.3. Operational Developments## A. Subject/KGBSubject arrived in Moscow on 20 October 1966 to attend the INTURIST Conference.
[104-10173-10135.pdf — page 334]
335On 13. eecervor Subject, reported to the C/O about Loginov's personal questions asked of Subject that same day (see paragraph 3 A. above). The C/O asked Subject if he had inquired of Loginov why the latter was asking such questions. Subject replied that he had not, and thought he was completely puzzled by this tack on the part of the Soviets. But 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 dropped by Subject’s office on 22 December, after having delivered a Christmas gift of liquor to Subject’s home the previous day. Subject reported on Soviet travel for Georgi Visko, and said he had met Visko's replacement-Victor M. Ivanov.Subject mentioned that he had received a holiday season letter from Sidney Weintraub, U.S. State Department official now in Chile/Comment: Weintraub hoped to get Subject of the Soviets in Mexico through Subject. Nothing ever came of it.Subject remarked that he had received a firm invitation from the manager of Air France in Mexico to go or the inaugural flight of Air France to Red China (Shanghai) possibly in April 1967, to which Subject had replied that he "would love to go."To the C/O Subject expressed himself as neutral about his going, but asked the C/O if he had any interest in his taking the trip. The C/O replied that Subject would be advised.The C/O then discussed seriously with Subject the question of how complete his break-off from the Soviets really is, inasmuch as there was some skepticism about his conduct (the C/O told Subject that the skepticism came from 'higher up', which incidentally the C/O did not share). The C/O asked Subject to explain his willingness to report the name of the chief in Mexico, and his willingness to turn his personal documentation over to the Soviets. Subject’s reply boiled down to this: he was convinced that his break-off was more than adequate because he had reached the conviction to deny the Soviets anything and everything (the Station's objective), even though he might jokingly stall them. Being primarily was consistent with his personality. He explained his willingness, even more his desire, to show those "bastards" he couldn’t be bought off them. Subject asked the C/O to check with his bosses to see if he could be go-ahead on passing the documentation if the Soviets came after it.On 12 January 1967, the C/O 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 the go-ahead to pursue the matter.The current C/O, Prentice R. Lurleine, will turn Subject over to Francis J. Coigne before Lurleine's departure from Mexico the end of January 1967.PRV

# DISPATCHTO: Chief, SB DivisionINFO: Chie, WH DivisionFROM: Chief of Station, Mexico CitySUBJECT: REDTOP/Operational BESABER contact with Valentin S. LOGINOV (201-285412)REFERENCE: MEXICO CITY-99301. BESABER first met LOGINOV casually on 14 December 1965 at a Polish Embassy reception for a visiting Parliamentary delegation. No plans were inde for recontact, although cards were exchanged and BESABER reported that LOGINOV was quite friendly.2. It was not until 4 October 1966, almost a year later, that BESABER again ran into LOGINOV at another Polish Embassy reception, this one in honor of the departing Polish Ambassador. On that occasion LOGINOV expressed an interest in buying some of the mosales that BESABER produces. When LOGINOV found out that Mrs. BESABER was an avid tennis player, he let it be known that he was too, and would enjoy getting together for a game. (Parenthetically, be mentioned that he played regularly at the French Club, but that he did not enjoy the atmosphere there because there were too many Germans.) Finally, when BESABER mentioned that he very much liked Russian vodka, LOGINOV said he would sell him some at Embassy discount prices.3. On 13 October 1966 LOGINOV tried unsuccessfully to contact BESABER by phone to purchase some mosaics for the Russian athletes who were were in town in connection with the "Little Olympics." BESABER unfortunately never got the message that LOGINOV left (although we picked it up on LIENVOY).4. The Station decided at this point to have BESABER wait for LOGINOV to make the next move, but when by 15 DecemberCONTINUEDDistribution:2 - CSB1 - CWH201-285412HMA - 31099SECRET17 JANUARY 1967201-744856

CONTINUATION OFDISPATCHSECRETНИМА - 310999. The Station seen no reason why BESABER cannot handle the development of RETKEP and LOGINOV at the same time. Where possible we will try to have BESASER arrange to cultivate them Deparately, but since the two targets are personal friends and see each other quite frequently, we plan to have BESABER be quite candid fitting is relationship with one to the other.10. Finally, we are well aware that since BESABER BAY well be compromised to the poles, his relationship with LOGINOV will have to be considered in this light. On the other hand there seems little to be lost, and possibly a great deal to be gained by having BESABER continue to try to develop a close relationship with this Soviet target.for/Villard C. CURTIS

SECRET2 MAY 1368MEMORANDUM FOR: DirectorFederal Bureau of InvestigationSUBJECT: Dr. Martin Luther KING, Jr.1. Reference is made to this Agency's out message number 94270 dated 25 April 1968 concerning the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther KING, Jr.2. On 16 April Roderick Claflin BROWN, a Panamanian national born 1 July 1917 in British Honduras, voluntarily appeared at the Department of National Investigations (DENI) of the Republic of Panama and signed a deposition, the highlights of which are as follows:(1) On 26 October 1962 he served as cook/seaman aboard the Texaco S.S. Southhampton which docked at Mobile, Alabama.(2) While on a shore visit to the Mobile airport on the morning of 26 October 1962 in the company of two fellow Panamanian seamen, he was approached by Marvin P. LITTRELL, owner of LITTRELL Motor Co., 921-25 South Clinton Street, Athens, Alabama, who after ascertaining BROWN was a Panamanian seaman, asked if he knew of Dr. Martin Luther KING, Jr.(3) LITTRELL inquired whether BROWN was interested in employment, the details of which were unspecified. Не went on to describe Dr. KING as "Our greatest problem who is causing us much trouble." He gave BROWN a business card to use in the event he was interested in pursuing the employment offer.(4) On 28 January 1963 BROWN wrote LITTRELL from New York City, stating he was interested in a job andSECRET![illegible text]

-2-requested $75 for travel from New York City to Mobile. On 2 February 1963 BROWN received a reply from LITTRELL, restating that he had a job waiting for BROWN in Alabama, but questioning why $75 was needed since the fare was less than $40 by bus.(5) After discussions with a relative and friends in New York City, BROWN suspected that the LITTRELL job offer was related with assassination plans for Dr. KING. Therefore he did not respond to the LITTRELL letter and dismissed the incident until the death of Dr. KING in April 1968. BROWN returned to Panama in 1964.3. Enclosed for your information is a copy of the LITTRELL letter and the Spanish language deposition made by BROWN, as well as an English translation of the deposition as described in paragraph 2 of the referenced out message.FOR THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR FOR PLANS:Signed: James R.
