He forward the following anyway, as some of the background and suggestions still seer pertinent. Several questions raised below have now been resolved, notably the alleg- ation of an Iden A/UBARK link (explained by the ODEVY letter of 1 December 1964, not available when the following was written). Cories of recent PALP correspondence on Iden A, passed to us on 13 January 1965, are attached as Attaciment 3, USC.1. Upon receiving the memorandum cited in the reference, we requested Further details from UDOUD, stressing our interest in the report that CPUSA nembers had given IDEN C documents which showed Di A belonged to "the services of KUBARK". D/5986 of 30 December 1964, U3OUND's answer to our query, merely reiterates that the UNBOUND source, a good one, based the report on a "coami- cation of documents" by American Comunists to DC, which supposedly established that IDEN A belonged to KUBARK; UNBOUND states that the source is not in a position to identify the persons in question. UNBOUND's reply suggests the information might have come from an audio operation; we might mention here that IDEN A has appeared occasionally on UNPAY, but never in an informative way. A mail intercept might also be the source of UNBOUND's report, or it may have come from a third service (conceivably JAGUAR or SMOTH).2. Our continuing preoccupation with the IDEN A question is three-fold: (a) his expulsion from ID: 8 (and thus from acceptance by pro-Peiping groups) opens the door for his possible recruitment; (b) we would like to determine whether his ouster was engineered by personal enemies or whether he actually did work for an intelligence service, and which one; (c) as Peiping regards the USA as its primary target, the Chinese can be expected to continue prop- aganda attacks designed to create IDEN D tension and inflame the Afro/AsiansAttachments: 1.
