# CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCYWASHINGTON 25 D.C.OFFICE OF DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE12 February 1964MEMORANDUM FOR: United States Intelligence Board MembersSUBJECT: Yuri Ivanovich NOSENKO1. This memorandum refers to the State Department release of 10 February on subject case and provides additional background as well as information on his current status.2. As a KGB staff officer, NOSENKO is regularly assigned to the Counterintelligence Directorate of the KGB in Moscow but was included in the Soviet delegation to the Disarmament Conference as part of a cover arrangement which permitted him to carry out intelligence and security functions in Geneva on behalf of the KGB.3. NOSENKO also attended various sessions of the Disarmament Conference held in Geneva in 1962. During the course of these sessions, NOSENKO sought contact with officials of the U. S. Government, informed those officials that he was affiliated with the Soviet State Security apparatus and volunteered to aid the U. S. Government in detecting Soviet subversive activity directed against the U. S. Government. During the course of his contact with U. S. authorities, NOSENKO stated that his cooperation with the U. S. Government originated with his distaste and hatred for the Soviet regime in general, with his desire to obtain revenge for the unjust death of his father, a senior official in the Soviet shipbuilding industry, and with the general admiration of the Americans with whom he had come in contact within the Soviet Union.4. In late January 1964, NOSENKO arrived in Geneva, again masquerading as a member of the Soviet delegation to the Disarmament Conference. Subject secretly notified his CIA contacts in the United States concerning his presence in Geneva and arranged to meet with those contacts. During a series of meetings NOSENKO provided information including documents concerning Soviet State Security activities within the USSR and abroad and a detailed account
[104-10227-10000.pdf — page 149]
of the KG3 operation against U. S. Professor Barzhoora which NOSENKO said he had personally supervised at the direction of SEXICHASTITY, the Chairaan of the Conaittee for State Security (KGB).5. During those most recent postings HOSENKO announced his desire to leave the US52 permanently and seok his future In the Nest. lie clained his now work in the XC3 (First Deputy Chief of that departacat charged with the surveillance and recruitment of American visitors to the US32) was ax- panding and that he would not be able to visit the Most with any frequency. Accordingly, he prepared a request for political asylun in the United States. He was taken to Frankfurt, Germany whore he is currently undergoing interro- gation. Plans are now being made to remove his to the U. S.6. It should be noted that CIA contact with Subjoct has not been extensive and that we will require additional thorough interrogation to establish Subject's bona fides. It should also be noted that NOSENKO'S juties were not con- corned with substantive aspects of the Disarmament Conforonco, and he therefore is not oxpected to be able to shed auch, if any, light on that area of our interest.7. The possibility that NOSENIO's defection was de- signed to wrock the conference was most carefully considered. The decision to accept his was taken on the conviction chat. the Soviets would not have chosen such a vulnerable agent (staff officer of the KG3) for this kind of move.Marshall S.

Nosenko is in the United States where he was interviewed yesterday by officials of both the Russian and Swiss Embassies.The State Department said each interview lasted less than an hour and that a Department official was present each time. Nosenko reaffirmed his earlier request for aslum in the United States and it will be granted.State Department spokesman Richard. I. Phillips, in giving out this information, declined to say where the interviews took place or to give any details. Earlier be had said it was, possible that newsmen here will be allowed to talk with Nosenka.### Soviet Kicks up FussThese developments came as the Soviet Union kicked up a diplomatic fuss over the disappearance of Nosenko on Feb. 4, from Geneva, where he had been assigned as an "expert" in the Soviet delegation at the 17-nation disarmament conference. Phillyps said he was "on temporary duty from KG3 (secret police) headquarters in Mos cow."Up to yesterday Moscow had been directing its public diplomatic wrath at the Swiss, charging them with loose security. The provision for a Swiss diplomat to interview Nosenko was to assure the Swiss that the United States had taken part in no illegal act on their soil.The Swiss already had strongly rejected the Soviet charges.On Wednesday, Phillips re- See DEFECTOR, A5, Col. 1

# EMERGENCY INSTRUCTIONSInstructions and procedures are set forth below for the handling of emergency situations such as fire, the escape or attempted escape of SUBJECT, and the sudden illness or serious injury to the SUBJECT. Should such situations arise, it might be necessary to call on the Police, the Fire Department, or outside medical facilities for assistance. It is possible that in such an event representatives of the press or curiosity-seekers in the local community might be attracted to the site, thereby creating security problems with respect to the custody and protection of the SUBJECT from a publicity standpoint.In view of the above, it is therefore imperative that these instructions be thoroughly understood and memorized by all personnel assigned to the Special Security Detail on this case.## FIRE(Main House)1. In case of fire in the Main House, the person discovering the fire should apply the nearest fire extinguisher, unless, in his judgment, the fire has reached such proportions where available equipment would be useless. Simultaneously, he should dispatch another member of the Security Detail to alert the Senior Security Agent (SSA) and the other occupants of the house. If no one is available in the immediate vicinity, the person discovering the fire should alert others in the house by shouting "FIRE".2. Upon being notified of a fire, the SSA shall be responsible for directing the fighting of the fire, protecting classified and sensitive documents and equipment on the premises, calling the local Fire Department if circumstances warrant, and evacuating personnel. Also, at the first available opportunity, the SSA should call the SAC or ASAC, or if they cannot be reached, a senior DFO Agent, and furnish him with all particulars concerning the situation and the action being taken.3. In utilizing members of the Security Detail in fighting a fire, it should be borne in mind that two guards must be maintained on the third floor at all times, so long as the SUBJECT remains confined to his quarters. If it should become necessary to remove the SUBJECT from his quarters during an emergency, a minimum of four guards should be present unless circumstances are such as to make this infeasible.
[104-10227-10000.pdf — page 158]
EMERGENCY INSTRUCTIONS(Continued)any event, every possible security precaution should be taken during the movement of FJEJECT, including the use of handcuffs or any other restraining devices deemed necessary in order to maintain proper custody and control over the SUBJECT and prevent his escape.4. If, in the judgment of the SSA, a fire has reached, or is likely to reach proportions that it could not be controlled by firefiziting equipment on the premises, it shall be his responsibility to notify the Clinton Fire Department. In this event, the Security Detail should move with dispatch to remove the SUBJECT from the premises prior to arrival of the Fire Department. The SUBJECT should be placed in an automobile, accompanied by four members of the Security Detail, end driven away from the premises. At appropriate intervals, telephone calls should be made to the safehouse. If no answer is received, the cognizant DFO cecial 11 should be contacted.for instructions as to whether to return to the safehouse or proceed to an alternate site.FIRE(Tenant House)1. In case of fire in the Tenant House, the occupants thereof should be instructed to immediately notify the Main House and to use any available means to combat the fire until assistance arrives, unless the fire is out of control, in which case all efforts should be directed towards the evacuation of the occupants of the premises. It should ce clearly understood that in no case should any of the occupents of the Tenant House call the Fire Department. This decision is the sole respon- sibility of the $54.2. Upon notification of a fire in the Tenant ilouse, the person notified shouli imediately inform the SSA and assist in the dispatching of available personnel and fire extinguishers to combat the fire. If, in the judgment of the SSA, the fire has reached, or is likely to reach, proportions that it could not be controlled by the avaliable firefighting equipment, it shall be his responsibility to notify the Carton Fire Department and to take necessary precautionary measures to prevent the observation of the SEJECT by firemen or other unauthorized perccסמן אב might be attracted to the scene.

EMERGENCY INSTRUCTIONS(Continued)3. At the first available opportunity, the CSA should call the SAC or ASAC, or if they cannot be reached, a senior DFO Agent, and furnish him with full particulars concerning the situation and the action being taken.## ESCAPE OR ATTEMPTED ESCAPE1. Strict vigilance and security should be maintained on a 24 hour basis in accordance with established procedures in order to discourage and prevent the SUBJECT's escape. If SUBJECT should make an attempt to escape, sufficient force should be used as is necessary under the circumstances in order to subdue the SUBJECT and maintain custody and control over him. However, unnecessary brutality and the indiscriminate use of force will not be condoned.2. All personnel assigned to the Special Security Detail on duty at the site shall be alerted by means of the emergency alarm and/or other appropriate means, and brought into play on any escape attempt. Should the SUBJECT succeed in escaping from the house proper, the SSA shall be responsible for coordinating and directing a hot pursuit of the SUBJECT by all means available.3. The use of firearms should be scrupulously avoided except in extreme circumstances of self-defense. However, the SSA under circumstances that indicate there are no other means of preventing SUBJECT's total escape, may direct a qualified firearms-trained agent to fire shots over SUBJECT's head followed by verbal warning to halt. In no event, except in self-defense as stated above, will an agent shoot directly at the SUBJECT.4. At the first available opportunity, the SAC/DFO, or in his absence, one of the ASACs, should be telephonically advised of all the circumstances surrounding an escape attempt. In no case shall the Police be notified unless authorized by the SAC or ASAC.## ILLNESS OR INJURY1.

Regardlessof any instructions given by the doctor, no action shall be taken toremove the SUBJECT from the premises or to communicate with any hospitalor ambulance service without the prior authorization of the SAC or AБАС.2. Should it become necessary to remove the SUBJECT to a hospital   or other location away from the premises, every possible precaution   should be taken to maintain close custody and control over hin, and to   prevent disclosure of his true identity and status to unauthorized   persons.GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION1.
