Re SOSWIRL - As requested at last meet BESABER turned in bio data on girlfriend he had talked to 8GSWIRL operator about. (Beo attached note from operator). No traces. He will turn in at next meet his version of what he told her. He is rost upset by this matter, particularly since I had told him that Headquartere wanted to drop him. I reitercated that he was on probation.b. CHMYKHOV and LOGINOV(P-6235) (P-11712)1). On 20 May CHMYKHOV and LOGINOV arrived at BESABER's plant at about 1400. L. was driving a brownish Chavy Impala, 34-DA. L was interested in seeing the house that BESABER had located for the Soviets. He said they wanted a house for three, possibly four months (starting 1 June) and could easily tpend up to $8,000 MM per month.2). BESABER could not leave the plant, but put them in touch with a Sra. LARA who took them around to seven houses, one of which they liked. They returned to BESABER's plant at about 1700, sat around for about an hour, leaving because they said the couriers were coming in that night and they had a lot of work to do. (Couriers did arrive that night).3). CHMYKEHOV drank heavily (scotch) but did not show any effect; LOGINOV didn't even finish one Scotch and water..4). L'eaid he would probably return to Cuernavaca in a few days to sign the lease on the house and would look BESABER up. BESABER told L that he had a friend with a tennis court and in a few weeks when the friend returned to Mexico he (BESABER) would arrange a day of tennis.5). L did most of the talking although C was pleasant, told a number of good jokes (in poor Spanish) and generally impressed BESABER as boinga pleasant type, not "pesado," as he assesses L.c. Re COIGNE's request and as a follow-up to LIKAYAK/3's report of 28 April 1967 re Lorenzo CARDENAS (P-5409), I asked BESABER if he knew of a house of prostitution at Dr. Manual Ugarte 103 A. He did not, but will check it out through tho doormen of several hotels.COPIES MADEFILE: P-8777 P-5409 1-SBSECRET

CONTACT REFORTSUBJECT: Miriam AVILA Katz P-581DATE OF HEATING: 11 May 19671. My last meeting with Subject was on 23 March, at   which time she agreed to provide information on LOGINOV   obtained during their normal business contact and any further   social contact initiated by him. She was to call me after   their next date or any other significant contact she had with   him. Since I had not heard from her, I called her at her   apartment about 2115 on 11 May. I apologized for calling so   late, but said I had just got out of work and had a package.   for her I had brought back from the States which I wanted   to deliver before the contents got stale. Could I drop over   that night or perhaps another evening. Subject immediately   recognized the "package" as the Benson and Hedges cigarettes   I had promised her, gently protested, and then told me she   was not feeling well, but the doctor had told her she had   to eat, and it so happened she was just going out for a bite   when I called. I consequently suggested we have dinner together,   which we did from 21115-1215 at the Gondola. Afterwards, wo   went around the corner to her apartment for a nightcap until0200. 2. Subject had lost 8 or 10 pounds and looked a bit thin   and not as attractive as I had remembered her. She told me   she was simoly working too hard and not eating and sleeping   properly. I had some fear that she might have had come secondFika cc: P-11712 P-1573 (pp. 2-4) P-2712 (pp. 4-5)

thoughts in the seven weeks since she had agreed to cooperate,but it proved unfounded. She this time was relaxed from thestart, was very friendly, and seemed to enjoy the opportunityto get out. (She later told me in her apartment that she didn'tgo out much, liked to spend her evenings at home reading,listening to records, tending to her dwarf trees, etc.) Shemade it clear from the start that she hadn't changed her mindby warning me half-seriously and half-playfully that I shouldn'tthink I could "buy" her with gifts. "You've bought me up here,"she said, tapping her head with her forefinger. "That'sthe only way you'll get anywhere with me." Most of the evening"was spent in general and (especially back at her apartment)increasingly fuzzy discussion of Israel, the Jews, her job,the Russians "as people," her very humanistic philosophy aboutlie, and I don't exactly remember what else. She is definitelya smart girl, but I think less profound and sophisticated thanshe tries to appear. Otherwise, she seems to be a very sincereperson, and she has given me no reason to doubt or suspectanything she has told me.### 3. Contact with LOGINOV.Subject said she hadn't beenout with LOGINOV since our last meeting and had had only oneface-to-face contact with him. She said this was a littleover a month ago (early April) and was occasioned by herefforts to help a client by the name of Dr. Yury KUTTLER geta Soviet visa. She said ETTLER is & dentist and definitelya Communist sympathizer, if not a Communist. (KUTTLER hasF-File 1573.) KUTTLER evidently thought he was liked by the
[104-10173-10135.pdf — page 21]
Russians in return, as he initially tohi Subject he was expecting an official Soviet invitation to visit the USSR. As it turned out, however, he nau a naça time even getting a Soviet visa, Subject finally called LOGINOV herself to try to push things along, but LOGINOV showed no willingness to facilitate things. (LIENVOY has Subject on the phone to LOGINOV on 5 April. After discussing KUTTLER's case, Subject, remarked to LOGINOV that she understood that "you (ustedes) must have some reason not to want to give him (KUTTLER) the visa." LOGINOV replied that there were "reasons enough.")4. A day or two after her telephone conversation with LOGINOV, Subject said she went over to the Soviet Embassy personally to see if she could get anywhere with LOGINOV. LOGINOV received her cordially, and for the first time asked her into his office (she said it was the first office off the outside Reception Room). She again asked LOGINOV to try to s speed up the granting of KUTTLER's visa. LOGINOV hemmed and hawed, indicating that he wasn't even sure the visa would be granted. He finally told Subject that look, he had gone to KUTTLER for dental work once, and KUTTLER had charged him muon too much. Consequently, he said, he wasn't going to give him a visa. Subject said she could not tell if the destist bill was the real reason for LOGINOV's negative attitude, but when she persisted, LOGINOV finally relented and the following exchange ensued:
[104-10173-10135.pdf — page 22]
LOGINOV: "All right, Miriam, I'll do it for you (i.e., give KUTTLER the visa). But you know, a favor must be repaid by a favor."Subject: "All right....in that case, let me in the name of the company invite you to dinner."LOGINOV: "No, Miriam, I don't mean that."LOGINOV then went on to say that as he had mentioned to her before, he would like her to introduce him to "someone who would be sympathetic to us" (i.e., to the Soviets). LOGINOV emphasized that he realized Subject might not agree with this "someone's" ideas, but stated that he knew Subject was the type of person who "had respect for other people's views." Subject said that she replied in a casual, almost flippant manner that "well, sure, if she met such a person, she'd introduce them." With this the subject was dropped and Subject left.5. LICOZY-5. Subject on her own initiative began telling me what a terrific guy her boss is. He according to her, has one of the most winning personalities of anyone she has ever met. At the same time he is extremely intelligent and shrewd. "If he can't get what he wants through charm, he does it by pure shrewdness." This is why he is such a successful businessman.In reply to a question about LICOZY-5's background, Subject said he had been born in Foland, was imprisoned by either the Toles or Germans just before or during World War II (she was rather vague on this point, and I confined myself to listening), somehow got out and joined the Russians, taking part in the Soviet invasion of Germany. Somehow he had survived all this, made his way to Mexico, where he arrived penniless, and now
[104-10173-10135.pdf — page 23]
must have a small fortune in the bank. He vividly remembers his former hardships, however, is a very generous and humane person, and every year sends clothes to people in Foland and Russia. He also has a very strong feeling for Israel. Obviously he couldn't have survived a life like this if he weren't shrewd. He has no love for the Russians, but was not above joining them to assure his own survival in World War II and can be agreeable enough toward them to retain their travel business. Subject gave absolutely no indication that she had said anything to LICOZY-5 about me.6. The conversation was the most relaxed as well as the fuzziest back at Subject's apartment, where we finished a bottle of vodka LOGINOV had given LICOZY-5 and LICOZY-5 had given her. Back on the subject of LOGINOV, Subject said she "supposed" he had tried to cultivate a lot of girls like herself..."hadn't her?" (I had told Subject at our last meeting that young women were among LOGINOV's favorite targets, but hadn't been able to tell what effect this "revelation" had on her. Now it appeared that it had hit home and that it had wounded her pride to think he not only had had ulterior motives in dating her, but had dated other girls the same way.) I didn't reply directly, but said something about LOGINOV being as smooth as they come. Subject wasn't satisfied with this, however, and pressed me: "lie has tried the same thing with other girls, hasn't he?"". "Yes, Miriam, several," I finally said. This seemed to satisfy her.7. Shortly thereafter, I asked Subject if LOGINOV were

273 May 67LEAIM's account of his first two meetings with LOGUINOV. It appears to me that at the second meeting, 26 April, he moved in a lot faster than is customary with the Sovs. For this reason I wonder if possibly the Soviets are deliberately trying to get a look at him independent from LEONOV, who may well have been reporting regularly his meetings with Lin.He understands he is not to be dangled in front of Sovs, and I told him that after today's tennis match, he is to make himself unavailable for two or three weeks for tennis (or the movies) and see what kind of initiative. L is prepared to take.This would, however, allow us to plant an American girl at the French Club if we wished and play her into L's hands.

VALENTIN S. LOGUINOV1.  Contact. First not April 22, 1967. He asked my wife and D if he and an American born Koxican friend could join us in doubles. Saturdays the tennis courses are filled.

Eager to visit to U.S. Possibly interested in the material things of life, possibly overly interested in girls. Seems convinced of the value of Marxian.4.  Personality. Very friendly and direct. Wishes his embassy enjoyal club privileges such as the U.S. at the Reforma Club. He likes caviar, vodka, and drinks several beers quickly. He is a little demonstrative in gestures of head and hands. It is too early to equate his gestures with his attitudes or the topics being discussed.5.  English. He is eager to improve his English, which he speaks rather poorly. His son Dmitry speaks only Russian, no Spanish or English.6.  Biodata. His daughter, 14, is in an English school in Moscow.7.  Chess. Plays, but not a fan.8.  Athletics. He plays excellent tennis for someone who claims he has played less than a year and never more than once a week. He has the face, build, and carriage of a trained athlete. He has the brutish look of a boxer or wrestler. He has the grace of a natural athlete. I would guess him to be unusually strong. He boxed when younger, plays basket-ball and volleyball.9.  Spanish. Speaks good Spanish. Studied for one year in Moscow.10. Desire for contact. Val proposed that we meet regularly for tennis at 1600 hours every Wednesday. He asked if it bothered me to be seen with a Soviet. He said many U.S. diplomats seemed to shun him. He also suggested that we not limit our contacts to tennis but that we go to a movie sometime with our wives.
