Approval to contuct and assess Subject was given in reference which also approved our proposal that Peter K. Winship ascoapery Kewens and the undersigned on this job in order that he would be able to carry to Headquarters his personal impressions of Subject.2.  We arrived in Paris on 13 October where we discussed our plans with John P. Platipodis who informed us that the Paris Station had no objections to our proceeding as we proposed. The undersigned travelled as Maj. Michael C. Long; Newens and Winship travelled in true name.3.  We rented a car in Paris and drove to Gap, arriving before noon on 14 October. The remainder of the day was spent in familiarizing ourselves with the tom and locating the house where Subject was reported to live. Because none of us spoke Premch without a noticeablo Anglo-Saxon accent, we did not wish to visit the partient or subject's brother and risk meeting the brother or sister-in-law who would easily be able to detect that we were not Frenchmen. Therefore, the under signed drove to Vaynes about 40 km. away where he got an older woman working in a small inn to put through a telephone call for us. The woman had no idea what she was doing and was not suspicious. She spoke with Subject's sister-in-law who said that Subject was no longer "sleeping there but was expected to visit the house at about 2100 hours. Consequently, the undersigned returned to Gap whore Winship and Nesens were on hand to surveil Swjeat's house. A second call to the house of Subject's brother was put through at sbout 2130 hours from a different tom also about 40 km. from Cap. The man who made the call for us learned that subject was plarning to visit Paris, and that it was not known whether he had left.4.  Not wishing to risk missing Subject altogether, wo decided to call at the apartment of Subject's brother on the cerning of 15 Cetoter after 9:30 when it could be expected that the brother would have left home for his office. The undersigned mzda tise call, spoke with the sister-in-law (who, we subsequently learned, tock the undersigned for an Englishman). The conversation lested perhaps 15 minutes. The eister-in-law gave us Subject's present address where he is not registered and told us where he eats lunch daily. While Newens and Winship counter-surveilled the site, the undersigned waited for Subject outside the restaurant where he takes his meals until Subject approached at about 1245 hours. Subject had already been alerted that a non-native French speaking person was looking for him and recognized the undersigned at enco. An introduction was made, Subject was clean the photographs which AEPALDLE hed taken and accepted these as proof of the undersigned's authenticity. Subject said he was planning to leave that night for a two day wait to Paris on bothcca. It suggested that Subject, in order to savo fare and no that we ghould: have an extended opportunity to discuss "certain matters" with hin, might prefer to drive with ca. Subject accepted this suggestion and arrangements were made to pick him up in front of a cafo on the cut- skirts of Gap where he is temporarily lodged.5.  Subject was not by the undersigned at 2000 hours and told that the undersigned was accompanied by two colleagues. Shortly thereafterSECRETCS COPY201-237477
