such a busy and hectic life that I would get very little out of him. Prior to his marriage, he was keeping such a hectic schedule between his Institute and private classes that he wasn't sleeping or eating properly and was having increasing problems with his health. If anything, his pace and health problems increased after his marriage and his taking of the job with the American School (although he gave up most of his private classes).8. Since the GAZIYEV-LOGINOV conversation made Subject's relations with the Soviets look much more interesting, I attempted to find out what I could about them from Subject. For a number of reasons, however--including my going to the States in June--we were not able to get together until 11 July. On that date I took Subject to a belated "bachelor's lunch" at a little Spanish restaurant downtown.9. The lunch was disappointing and, for me, misleading. I was certain that if given the opportunity, Subject would voluntarily tell me if his relationship with GAZIYEV had developed any further. When I casually brought the conversation around to GAZIYEV, however, Subject simply told me that GAZIYEV was still studying at the Institute and that he still occasionally chatted with him in the halls or over a cup of coffee in one of the near-by coffee shops during the 20-minute break between the two evening classes. Subject commented that he enjoyed talking with GAZIYEV, as he was a simpatico, interesting guy, as well as an outstanding Spanish student. He also added that they never talked politics. In reply to an offhand question about whether he had met any other Soviets through GAZIYEV, Subject
[104-10174-10065.pdf — page 206]
said that he had not. My inclination was to believe Subject, and I went away thinking that either GAZIYEV and LOGINOV had been talking about someone else over the phone or that they had never gone beyond the stage of simply talking about Subject.10. On 1 November 1967, I ran into Subject and his brother Javier in Sanborns-Insurgentes. They were about to have a quick lunch and insisted that I join them for a cup of coffee. As soon as we sat down, Subject told me he had a problem and would like my advice. He said GAZIYEV had given him an invitation to the 7 November celebration of the Revolution at the Soviet Embassy, and although he would like to go for the experience, he was very concerned that his name would be put on "the black list" at the U.S. Embassy if he went. He said that he had tried to call me at the Embassy after he got the invitation to ask my advice, but had been told I was out of town. (I was in El Paso from 25-29 October.) He stated that if he had not been able to reach me in the next day or two, he was going to simply walk into the Embassy and ask to see someone from the "security department" about his predicament. What did I think he should do?11. I told Subject to relax and forget about going to the U.S. Embassy, as the Embassy would not give him any advice other than to tell him that it was entirely his own business whether he went to the Soviet reception or not. Besides, I asked, what made Subject think his name would be put on a "black list" if he went. Subject replied that he didn't know how the U.S. Embassy did it, but "everyone knew" the U.S. Embassy obtained the names of everyone who went in and out of
[104-10174-10065.pdf — page 207]
the Soviet Enbassy. Moreover, he said, even if the U.S. Babassyrefused to give him any advice, at least it would make a recordof his visit and anyone who was ever interested would hisheart was in the right place. He simply did not want and couldn'tafford to get into any trouble with the U.S. Embassy, he said.After all, he had an American wife, he might want to go to theStates to study sometime, and they might even want to go tothe States to live someday. Seeing that Subject was indeed veryserious, I became more serious myself and told him that just sohe wouldn't worry, I'd write a memo to the proper Embassydepartment stating for the sake of the record that Subject hadtold me he planned to attend a Soviet Embassy reception, butwished the U.S. Embassy to know he was doing it solely out ofcuriosity and was in no way in sympathy with the Soviet Union.Subject seemed greatly relieved and thanked me very much.12. Seizing of the fact that GAZIYEV had given Subject the    invitation, I asked if Subject saw much of him anymore. Subject    replied that yes, he still saw him occasionally, as GAZIYEV was    now studying English at the Institute. Subject added, on his    own initiative, that he had also been to GAZIYEV's apartzent    twice and had met another Soviet there on one occasion. He said    that the first time he went to GAZIEV's was shortly before he    (Subject) got married (Subject was married about mid-April1967) and the second time was shortly after his marriage, as he      and his wife had gone to dinner at the GAZIYEVS'. Subject finished      eating about this time, and since he was in a hurry and had      his brother with him, I didn't try to question him any further,      but decided to wait and have a second go at him alone amther
[104-10174-10065.pdf — page 208]
time.13. My wife and I entertained Subject and his wife at our home on 27 November, but the evening was not meant to and did not afford an opportunity to discuss the Soviets any further. Subject did tell me, however, that he had not gone to the 7 November Soviet reception afterall, because, despite by assurances that there was no reason for him not to go, he felt it was simply safer to stay away from the Soviet Embassy altogether. At my suggestion, we agreed to get together for lunch sometime in the near future.14. For various reasons, including the poor state of Subject's health when I called him one day in January, we did not get together for the lunch until 7 March. This time, I played it straight with Subject, told him that I was interested in anything he could tell me about GAZIYEV and the otherSoviet he had met, and questioned him closely regarding the details. Subject was completely cooperative, and I am satisffed he answered my questions to the best of his ability. It seemed to me, and still does, that there was only one possible reason why Subject had not told me on 11 July what he subsequently told me on 1 November (1.e., that he had been to GAZIYEV's home twice and on one occasion had met another Soviet there). This was that he felt somewhat guilty about going to GAZIYEV's and meeting the other Soviet there, and as long as I didn't push him too hard (which I didn't on 11 July), he felt more comfortable ignoring it. The reason he so readily mentioned the two visits and the other Soviet on 1 November was, I think, that he was genuinely concerned not to "get luto any trouble" with the U.S.
[104-10174-10065.pdf — page 209]
Embassy over attending the Soviet Embassy reception, wished to impress me with his sincerity about whose side he was on, and felt obliged to completely clear the record by mentioning the visits to GAZIYEV's home and meeting the other Soviet there.15. Subject stated that GAZIYEV had invited him to his apartment for dinner about a month before he (Subject) went to Chicago to get married. This means that the dinner took place about mid-March 1967. Subject said he had expected to find only GAZIYEV and his wife in the apartment, but that a third person was there when Subject arrived. Subject said GAZIYEV introduced the third person as Valentin "something." When I asked if the last name were LOGINOV, Subject immediately reacted and said he was almost positive that was it. Subject's description of the Soviet also fit LOGINOV: GAZIYEV stated that LOGINOV was with the Embassy (Subject couldn't remember in what capacity) and described JOGINOV as a good friend. Subject said that the evening started off very casually, with LOGI NOV expressing interest in the Spanish courses at the Mexican-North American Institute. LOGINOV, who Subject noted spoke almost as good Spanish as most of the Spanish teachers at the Institute, said he'd like to get a certificate in Spanish from the Institute and asked Subject if he could help him enroll, choose the best course for him to start with, etc. Subject replied that he'd be happy to, although it didn't seem to him that LOGINOV needed much instruction in Spanish. LOGINOV simply laughed this off, and it was agreed LOGINOV would drop around to the Institute sometimo soon. LOGINOV, who took the lead in the conversation most of the evening, then began to ask Subject questions which left Subject
[104-10174-10065.pdf — page 210]
with "no doubt" that he (LOGINOV) was trying to feel Subject outon his political views. Subject said that he couldn't remembermost of LOGINOV's questions, but he did recall that LOGINOVbegan the feeling-out procedure by asking Subject if he didn'tfind that the Americans were much poorer at learning Spanishthan other nationalities. He also made various derogatoryremarks about the extent of American influence in Mexico. Subjectsaid that after about ten minutes, LOGINOV's purpose became soblatantly obvious, that he (Subject) stopped the conversationand told LOGINOV that before they went any farther, he thoughtLOGINOV should know that he was talking to someone who was"100% capitalist," completely pro-American, and had absolutelyno sympathy with Communism. (While this sounds awfully bluntand Subject was unquestionably trying to make himself look goodin my eyes, the fact of the matter is that Subject does tend tobe *** a bit blunt at times, and knowing his ideological leanings,I would not put it past him to have said exactly this.) Subjectsaid that LOGI NOV tried to backtrack a bit after this, but theconversation heated up again a few minutes later when Subjectcommented that he had a pretty good idea of what the Soviets wereup to in Mexico. When LOGINOV asked what Subject meant, Subjectrelated the story he once told me about having been in Veracruza few years ago when a Soviet ship was actually or virtually putunder arrest there. Subject told LOGINOV that "everyone knewthe ship was loaded with Communist propaganda."16. After about twenty minutes, according to Subject, politics    were dropped and the conversation turned to more innocuous topics.
[104-10174-10065.pdf — page 211]
Subject said that LOGINOV seemed somewhat irritated with him, but on the whole kept his composure very well and treated Subject politely for the two hours or less Subject remained. As Subject was leaving, LOGINOV again said he'd come by the Institute to see Subject in the near future, but he never did. One day in late 1967 Subject saw LOGINOV at the gas station on the corner of Tacubaya and Juanacatlan, and LOGINOV greeted Subject by name. However, they did not converse with each other.17. Subject said that GAZIYEV left most of the politically related part of the conversation to LOGINOV and never referred to the evening again. However, a few weeks after Subject returned to Mexico with his bride, GAZIYEV had Subject and his wife over to dinner (this would place the second dinner in about mid-May). This time GAZIYEV and his wife were the only others present, and the evening passed without any reference to politics. Subject saated that he still occasionally goes across the street for a cup of coffee with GAZIYEV betweem evening classes at the Institute, but that he has not been to GAZIYEV's apartment again and has never had GAZIYEV to his home.18. Although Subject was very aware that LOGINOV's purpose in meeting him was to assess his exploitability, he did not seem to fully appreciate that GAZIYEV had both fingered him for LOGINOV and set up the situation for LOGINOV to meet him. I spelled this out for Subject and also informed him that LOGINOV was an exceptionally capable Soviet intelligence officer. I also explained that it was very possible GAZIYEV was using the Institute to spot other candidates for interviews with Soviet
[104-10174-10065.pdf — page 212]
intelligence officers, and questioned Subject about GAZIYEV'S activities and contacts at the Institute. liuwever, Subject said that as far as he could tell GAZIYEV pretty much stuck to himself at the Institute and did not have any particudar friends there whom Subject knew about. Subject said he would keep his eyes open for the type of thing I was looking for, however, and would let me know if he came onto anything interesting. Subject also offered to "play up to" GAZIYEV and/or LOGINOV under my guidance if I wished, but I declined the offer with appropriate expressions of appreciation.19. The question that remains unanswered after all this is, of course, why LOGINOV and GAZIYEV were talking about Subject over the phone on 24 April 1967. According to Subject, the dinner which LOGINOV attended took place in March 1967, while LOGI NOV did not attend GAZIYEV's second dinner, which took place about mid-May. Since I am satisfied Subject told me the truth, it would appear that the "certain things" which LOGINOV told GAZIYEV on 24 April he wished to discuss with GAZIYEV concerned how to handle Subject in the light of the LOGINOV-Subject encounter in March. Whatever LOGINOV had in mind on 24 April, it would appear that it was finally decided that GAZIYEV and his wife should simply have Subject and his wife over to a peaceful dinner in order to at least partially erase the memory of the first dinner.1SB/L

Loguinov might have said that she had just played tennis, or was about to play tennis, or plays tennis occasionally. It seems likely that she did not play and was not about to play.

Extracts from LIREALM-1 contact reports10 May 1967LOGINOV played tennis at Mundet with S. S. Abdel Rahman Hassan Abdel-RAHMAN, 1st Secretary and Consul a: UAR Embassy. This was the first time they had played together. (played doubles with LIREALM and his wife).14 May 1967LIREALM played tennis at Mundet with LOGINOV.

SOVIETS LOGINOVValentin's friends, June 30, 1967.Contact. My lawyer celebrated his 40th birthday on June 30. Jin and Connie Pollack offered their home at Calero 76 in San Angel for a party for my lawyer. Of the 12 to 14 people at the party the following are part of a group who have organized a Great Books type club. At least once, and possibly twice or three times they have invited Valentin Loguinov.Doug WiltshireTimmie DavisAlexander "Sandy" ReedWerner ThurauDoug Wiltshire, about Masri. Doug claimed that Masri, his partner is pro-U.S. and anti-Nasser. He believes that Masri's wife is the secretary to the ambassador.THEN MOVEDWerner Thurau. The Anglo-American directory lists Werner as British. My lawyer states that he is actually Danish. He previously lived in San Angel to the Lomas address now shown in the directory. He since has moved back to Aida in San Angel and lives one or two doors from Timmie Davis. He is listed as vice-president of Jeffrey Manufacturing. He is reported to have studied at Oxford.My lawyer, who is one of the more brilliant humorous-type intellectuals in Mexico has described Werner as the most brilliant person he has met in Mexico. Werner's friends are agreed, behind his back, that Werner is "ill-employed", that he is earning far less than he deserves. His standard of living strikes his friends as austere.AN OXFORD GRADUATE!Sheila O'Sullivan Mabbo Thurau. Sheila is the wife of Werner and was not at the party due to illness. She is an actress, attractive, extreme extrovert, and the sometime mistress of Jim Tierney (spelling ?) the former head of the Rockefeller Foundation in Mexico, now at the home office in New York. I have often run across Sheila, but this was the first time I saw Werner.Werner Thurau, about Valentin. As Werner was introduced to me he acted very surprised. He explained that he thought I was someone else, a friend of his, Valentin Loguinov. He claimed that we

could be twin brothers. My wife overheard this performance andfeit it was highly overplayoi. My opinion was that this was aconversation starter, nothing moro. Werner cxpected ne to showinterest in his having met a Russian. I did. Werner then toldne about the book group. I had heard of it before through mylawyer and through Valentin. I had never before realized thoyvere ere and the same group. Warnor spoke of only one occasionwhen Valentin was there he did not say there were not otherecomsions. Valentin spoke of soveral occasions. Werner des-cribed Valentin as good-natured, narrow intellectually andcurious.I did not acknowledge knowing Valentin but avoided the issue.I do not know who knew Valentin and first invited him to thegroup. I do not know how often the group meets or where.CommentsI found Wernor to be very interesting and charming. I havehold held the the sane opinion about his wife for sone time. I believeI could develops him if it were of interest.Werner deserves to be checked. Everyone seems agreed thatthere is something amiss horeI would not mind belonging to a book group-I have in thepast. This one should be real swinging and night have Val asa permanent visitor.

SECRET11 October 1967CONTACT REPORTSUBJECT : LICOLY-3DATE OF MEETING : 10 October 19671. I met with Subject at the restaurant of the Del Paseo from 09:15 to 10:00. Next meeting to be arranged by phone. Subject will take a months vacation with his family from 28 October to 25 November. He will go to South Africa and other countries in Africa.2. During the week of 3 September, PRIKHODKO came to Subject's office to announce that he was back from home leave. Subject asked him about the status of the proposed Soviet tourist office. PRIKHODKO said that the Mexican Government had turned it down. Specifically SALVAT had told the Soviets that the tourist exchange between the Soviet Union and Mexico was so insignificant that it did not justify a reciprocal exchange of tourist offices (Comment: Evidentally the Mexicans used the reciprocity issue to deny the Soviet request.)3. PRIKHODKO also said that Oleg NECHIPORENKO (P-7442) would arrive in Mexico in October and that he would have a job in the Embassy, not in the consulate.4. While PRIKHODKO was in Subject's office, Senador ECHEVARRIA, the brother of the Secretary of Gobernacion came in and Subject introduced them.5. Finally, PRIKHODKO mentioned that YATSKOV would be leaving soon PCS (Comment: As I mentioned earlier, I'll bet that NECHIPORENKO replaces YATSKOV).6. The next day LOGINOV called Subject and asked him to come to a cafe near Subject's office. LOGINOV started off by calling Subject a son-of-a-bitch. He said, "Look at all the contacts you have in Mexico, even ECHEVARRIA'S brother". He then went on to berate Subject for refusing to continue to work for the Soviets. He became quite hoated at times. Subject repeated all the arguments he had used earlier about willing to be friends but refusing to help the Soviets in a clandestine capacity. During the discussion LOGINOV asked if Subject knew the "legal counsellor" of the US Embassy.FILE: P-11712

SECRET- 2 -By this he meant the Embassy's lawyer, not the legal attache. Subject just laughed at him.7. On 7 October Miguel ALEMAN Jr. came to Subject and said that he and Jacobo ZABLUDOWSKY had just seen Ambassador BAZAROV. They wanted BAZAROV to make arrangements to get them to the USSR for television coverage of the 50th Anniversary celebrations. BAZAROV had told them that things were very tight but if they went to Subject and he could arrange accomodations, BAZAROV would see that they got to the USSR. (Comment: From LIENVOY we know that the two had an appointment with BAZAROV on 9 October and thay they had been agitating for permits for about a week. I feel that by sending them to Subject, BAZAROV was giving them the brush off. If the Soviets were really interested in seeing them go, they would handle it differently,)Francis J. COIGNESECRET

CONTACT REPORTSUBJECT: BESABER P-8777DATE OF MEETING: 28 September 19671. I met Subject in his room at the Del Paseo from 1415-1530. Subject will call me a day in advance to set the date of the next meeting, which as usual will be in the Del Paseo.2. Subject had not seen or talked with CHMYKHOV or any other Soviet since he and CHMYKHOV were out together on the evening of 4 August. At that time, CHMYKHOV suggested that he and Subject have dinner together the next time Subject was in Mexico City. Subject agreed and told CHMYKHOV he'd call him the next time he was in town. Due to Subject's tight schedules on his visits to Mexico City, however, it wasn't until 28 September that he called CHMYKHOV. When Subject called the Embassy, however, he was told CHMYKHOV wasn't in. He therefore asked for LOGINOV, who proved to be in. LOGINOV immediately recognized Subject's voice and sounded very pleased to hear from him. He stated that he had had a wonderful holiday in the USSR (he returned on 27 August), but was now swamped with work. He added that he had planned to call Subject as soon as he got things under control. Subject thereupon said that he was actually calling for CHMYKHOV, because he didn't think LOGINOV had returned to Mexico yet. LOGINOV replied that CHMYKHOV wasn't in just then, but they'd both very much like to visit Subject in Cuernavaca. Subject said that he'd like to have them, but suggested they hold off for a week or so until the weather got better. LOGINOV agreed and said he'd talk to CHMYKHOVFile cc: P-6235 P-11712
