Noven 13th, 1963A discussion held in Bad Gojesberg on March 12th, 1963, betweenMr. Leonard, Chief of ICEM Mission in Germany and Mr. J. Riley of AFRFrevealed the following procedure taken by ICEM on refugee applicantsfor migration to South America under the ICEM Special Program:1. Applicant, if a refugee, must be recognized under UN High   Commissioner's Mandate as a bona fide political refugee.   (Note: All refugees holding a Reiseausweis automatically   fall under the Mandate.)2. A detailed curriculum vitae of the applicant must be sent   by AFRF to Mr. Neegard. ICEM emphasizes that all time be   accounted for since "gaps" are not accepted.3. Applicant must supply documentary proof of profession or   skill. In lieu of such documents, a letter of testimony   from a current employer describing job skills and qualifi-   cations or applicant will be considered.4. ICEM will arrange to interview the applicant and to give tests   to determine applicant's qualifications. ICEM will not accept   tests which are made by other sources.5. ICEM conducts its own security clearance on each applicant   whether USEP or non-USFP case.6. If applicant is found acceptable by ICEM, a work contract   must be signed by the applicant prior to departure from Germany.   ICEM has a placement service which arranges the job placement   and obtains the work contract. This is a standard ICEM procedure.   ICEM will not sponsor the applicant who does not sign a work   contract.7. The total procedure requires at least three months from the date   the applicant's curriculum vitae is received by ICEM, Bad Godes-   berg.8. ICEM does not accept payment of passage by applicants nor is   there an ICEM loan grant. ICEM charges DM 210.-- for men between   18-51 for transportation including luggage. The charges for women's   transportation amount to DM 162.-- (18-51 years old), DM 8.--   for children between 5 and 18 years old. Transportation of children   under five is free of charge. The total transportation cost per   family will not exceed DM 586.--.9. ICEM Placement Service in South American countries will meet the   migrant on arrival, introduce him to the employer, and ascertain   that all is in order. In the event that an applicant leaves this   work, ICEM placement service will assist him to find another job.   The placement service does not give assistance after the second   job is found.

Daronnat, Case OfficerCOMMENTS: CO dropped in to see Subject and paid him two weeks subsistance. CO told Subject that there were two major hurdles to his immigration to Columbia. 1. ICE would require that he be thoroughly interviewed and tested to establish just what his technical qualifications are. It would, therefore, be necessary that we be careful to build his work history around which he not only could have been doing in the Soviet Union, but in which he could pass a practical examination and which the South American country needs and desires. Subject said that if his legend included schooling in electro-mechanical fields with the major portion of his work experience in development and improvement of devices and processes he could in fact pass any test practical test and subsequent interview.2. We must assume that he is listed with INTERFOL since the French would almost automatically inform other European countries of Subject's disappearance from France. Subject agreed that this was a major problem but one that he could not help with.Subject has resigned himself to being processed as a regular immigrant and has said that he will do whatever we require.

Lemo for the record WIROGUE 7 March '63.Blake Cox called to inform Earvard that some of ICEM's cases have a security check run on them which would include a check with Interpol. Blake will try to find which type of case is checked and why.The investigation is handled by the Special Assistant to the Director of ICEM in Geneva.Blake will also find out the name of the person who conducts the investigation and the office he is in. He will also check to find out if R.M. Gray is still there.12 March '63Blake called to inform us that R. M. Gray is now the PIO in Geneva. The special assistant to the Director is Peter Regis. His assistant is Yarousch ? (retiredArmy Major). Blake said USEP cases are not checked as thoroughly as straight applicants to ICEM but he still cannot find out what decides if a case will be checked with Interpol.

Memo for the record WIROGUE 27 Feb. '63On this date Bill M. and Don McI. discussed the Airogue case with Earl Blake Cox(Chief, RMS, ANCONGEN Munich).Blake was told that we have a case which we wish to help immigrate to South America. Blake was told that we had hoped to send Subject directly to ICEM(Subject cannot immigrate directly to South America but must have all arrangements handled through I CEM) but that in exploratory talks with Gus Elmendorf (Chief, ARRF) Gus had been of the opinion that our case would be thoroughly investigated, interviewed, tested, etc.; procedures which we wished to avoid since they might bring to light the fact that our case was not the person he claimed to be.Blake agreed that Gus was correct in his thinking that if Subject went to ICEM on his own he would be interviewed and trade tested for a special program set up by ICEM to supply SA with certain higher types of skilled specialists, e.g. foremen, shop managers, etc.Blake suggested that we make our case USEP eligible through AFRF and then refer him to ICEM. This procedure would probably give Subject more status in ICEM's eyes and eliminate some of the background investigation. Subject would also be referred as a self-payer meaning he would have the funds to pay his own transportation.Blake asked if Subject would have a job waiting for him and was told that he would have no job but would have a letter attesting to the fact that there was $3,000.00 being held for him insalary and bonuses which he had received while working for the Army. Blake thought this arrangement would be satisfactory.Blake feels that coming to ICEM as a USEP case through AFRF Subject would probably be accepted without question since he would have been thoroughly checked out by Camp King and AFRF thus eliminating the need for investigatory action by ICEM.Blake was on his way to Bad Godesberg and said he would try to find out without arousing suspicion whether or not a refugee is fingerprinted and with what authorities the fingerprints are checked. He could also find out if a security investigation is made and now(over)

This information would also be vital if in casual conversation Subject was to keep from drawing suspicion to himself when queried about his homeland, etc.C/O said that he would be able to acquire the information Subject would need. Subject asked if with his name could it have been possible for his father to have come from one of the Baltic countries. C/O promised to find out and inform him at their next meeting.28 February1100C/O dropped in to see Subject and informed him that he would very likely be processed for South America through a refugee organization. This would mean with a refugee organization behind him and USEP support he would not be subjected to the investigation, interviews, etc he would normally undergo if he went directly to ICEM.C/O told Subject that arrangements would be made for him to start studying Spanish as soon as practical.Subject was told that his name was a common one throughout the Baltic region and therefore, he would be able to discuss that part of his legend with confidence.

Daronnat, Case OfficerCOMMENTS: Subject told CO that he had gone to the Columbian Consulate at 10 am Hauptbahnhof and found it to be a one man, or rather, a one woman office. He said he found the representative to be a pleasant but rather incompetent German woman about 50 years of age. He told her that he was a refugee and wished to inquire about immigrating to Columbia. She told him that as an engineer he would have no difficulty being accepted but that he would have to contact the Ministry in Columbia through ICEM which would make all the arrangements. If everything worked out properly she would receive notification to issue a visa.CO explained that it would be impossible for Subject to go to ICEM on his own. Subject was told that these developments would indicate that Subject should be processed as a regular refugee with a Volunteer Agency & and USEP support.CO told Subject that he would advise Hqtrs of the new developments and get permission to use the new approach to his resettlement.Subject was advised to work on his legend until CO would see CO by on Friday.

Memo for the record --- WIROGUE11 Feb.'63 the undersigned asked Chief, CAMANTILLA why a European refugee who applied for immigration to a South American Country would be referred by that Consulate to ICEM.The answer was that ICEM handles the immigration processing for refugees in Europe going to countries overseas. This saves the individual country the expense entailed in maintaining immigration and welfare offices and staffs. If a refugee goes to ICEM on his own he would probably be referred to a welfare Agency or be processed by ICEM itself. This would mean forms to be filled out in detail and time consuming background checks.If the Refugee is a Cazantilla - USEP case most of the work would have been done by CAMANTILLA and would probably eliminate the need for the refugee to appear at I CEM in Bad Godesburg until the final stages of the processing.![signature]

# Memo to the File## KIROGUEOn 5. Feb 63 CO went to Bonn to talk with OCA re the KIROGUE case and the SfV request for information on him.CO discussed the case with KUBARK St 2fer Clarence Schmidt (true name) and explained that it is true that a Georg Sanders processed through Camp King for his political recognition, but that his name, story submitted for his recognition, etc., were complete fabrications concocted by Camp King to ensure that KIROGUE receives his political recognition and Reiseausweis. Moroever since it it is a fabrication that means that there are no reports of any kind which can be passed to the 3.V. Finally it was explained by Co that since Subj is an agent (or rather was) and not a normal defector he of course did not to through Stage 1 and 2 processing at Cabezone and therefore there are ro routine reports here that could be passed to the 3.V.Schmidt answered that the reason the BfV made an inquiry is that because subjs statement for his recognition indicated that he defected from the Soviet Union and read like a report of someone who was debriefed by Cabezone. Moreover the story submitted for his reconition seemed so wenk that it immediately drew the ar..ntion of the BfV that the German organization responsible for the security of West Germany.Mr Schmidt then went into a long explanation of the function of CCA and its relationship to the rest of the Intelligence (UC) Community and the BfV. He stated that as the sole coordinating body for the entire I AIS community OCA is the sole office for liaising with the 3fV and that any matter of interest of any component of the AIS comtunity must be handled by OCA, whether it be written or oral. It is therefore shown in the present case tit since the BfV requested info on a Georg Sanders it sont the request to OCA with the realization that OCA wold coordinate the matter with all the AIS components and moreover the answer passed to 36V would not be & KUBARK one (ever though the 3fV liaison people know OCA is primarily KUBARK) but a coordinated AIS one. It is for the above reason that QCA is very disturbed by the activity of Mr Johr. Willms of Camp King who throughout the years has repeatedly refused to clear with CC and handied any business he had with the off directly with the BfV and usually with the Chief of the 3fV. CO hed explained that even before he brought up the Rfv inquiry on Senders with Willms, Willms mentioned that he had already made an appointment tto talk with the Chief of the 3fy and thus would take up the matter as a service to us. Schmidt answered that Willms uses these ruses as excuses to go to Sonn and butter up the Chief of the 3fv.In any event Schmidt stated that since he received the inquiry from the 3fV he is obligated to answer it and in order to keep
[104-10182-10003.pdf — page 69]
the BfV out of the case will inform it that Subj is of continuing operational interest to AIS. He requested that Cosere chip a cable stating that Subj is of ons interest and that it is conte plated that he will be resettled outside of Germany. This cable was sent to Bonn on 6 Feb 1963.CO, uron return from Bonn, reported the above with Mr Iyack, Chief. Cabezone, who stated that though there is an agreement between the services and OCA, the Generels in Heidelberg back Mr Fillms in his personal relations with the German services and thus this battle which has been going on for years will probably continue for several more years. In any event if the matter of Hillms versus OCA comes up again it is strongly urged that Chief, Cabezone be queried as soon as possible.david r reinbold

SECRETMEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD29 January 1963SUBJECT: WIROGUEOn this date George List and the undersigned discussed CO's plans and thinking regarding WIROGUE's immigration to South America. Case Officer explained that since Subject is an exceptional case and not a bona fide refugee, we will not be able to take advantage of the normal immigration channels without taking the chance of being involved in fraud. Case Officer further explained that since WIROGUE's contact with the Consulate of his choice will not in any way be controlled by us, this immigration attempt will be a one shot operation and if it fails, we will not have a second chance because if he is turned down for immigration, any subsequent attempts he makes to immigrate will bring to light the fact that he had previously applied for immigration to another country. It is essential therefore that we plan for every contingency. Case Officer feels, based on HARVARD's experience, that when WIROGUE applies for immigration he will be required to give:(1) the name and address of his present employer and probably the name of his supervisor and telephone number.(2) what type of work he has been doing;(3) proof that he will be able to support himself for a minimum of two years at the rate of $125 a month.(4) proof of his professional qualifications.(5) birth certificate.(6) detailed information regarding his employment and residence addresses in the Georgian SSR(7) details of the war-time military service.
