S-E-C-R-E-EXHIBIT 2MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATESAND THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY FOR THE ENTRY OF ALIENS OF INTEREST TOTHE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY UNDER SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCESThe Central Intelligence Agency has frequent need for the covert temporary entry of aliens into the United States for intelligence and operational purposes within its jurisdiction.To effectuate entry in such cases, the Central Intelligence Agency will submit each such alien's case in writing to the Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization with the request to defer inspection of the subject upon arrival and parole to the Central Intelligence Agency under the authority of Section 212(d)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.In order that the intelligence benefits to be derived from such entries not be outweighed by the dangers, if any, to the internal security of the United States by the presence of such aliens, the Central Intelligence Agency agrees that it will take all necessary steps to establish the bona fides of each prospective entrant prior to submittal to the Immigration and Naturalization Service. It further agrees: (a) That this method of entry will only be utilized where it is strictly in the national interest; (b) That each request will be accompanied by a summary of pertinent background and biographical data with particular emphasis on aspects bearing on internal security and admissibility under the immigration laws, as well as the results of a current check of the FBJ file; and (c) That the place, time-and-manner of arrival will be coordinated with the Service in advance thereof.Each alien whose entry is authorized by the Commissioner under the foregoing procedure will be paroled for such period of time as may be agreed on by the Central Intelligence Agency and the Service, in-no-instance to exceed one-year. Further extensions of parole, similarly limited, may be authorized thereafter on a written statement of need, which include the results of a current security check.Upon arrival each alien will execute an agreement acknowledging parole status in a form satisfactory to the Central Intelligence Agency and the Service.After parole of such aliens, the Central Intelligence Agency will assume responsibility for care, supervision and control of a kind and degree it believes consistent with the internal security needs of the United States during continuance of their parole status. Further, in the case of any alien whose physical custody is not to be maintained or is to be terminated, the Central Intelligence Agency will arrange for presentation of each alien for registration pursuant to law at a time and place satisfactory to the Service.SECRET

S-E-C-R-E-T EXHIBIT 2Upon completion of their intelligence or operational purposes in the United States, or if internal security reasons so require, these aliens will be removed therefrom through the arrangements and at the expense of the Central Intelligence Agency, except in those cases in which other disposition is made of a nature satisfactory to the Service. Also, the Central Intelligence Agency will inform the Service sufficiently in advance of each proposed departure as to permit verification thereof if the Service so elects.In accordance with past practice, the Service will apprise the FBI of the entry and departure or other disposition of these aliens.The Service will maintain separate and secure files under this agreement.Herbert Brownell, Jr.Attorney GeneralAllen W.

SECRETINSPECTOR GENERAL27 JUN 1975MEMORANDUM FOR: Inspector GeneralATTENTION : Mr. Neil AinslieVIA : Deputy Director for AdministrationSUBJECT : Alleged Illegal Activities(Unidentified Subject--Alleged Abuse of Defector)1. Reference is made to Mr. Ainslie's verbal request for a review of Office of Security files in an effort to provide information pertinent to a case mentioned on page 170 of the Report to the President by the Commission on CIA activities within the United States.2. The case in question from page 170 of the Commission Report is quoted as follows: "In one other case, a defector was physically abused, although not seriously injured. The Director of Central Intelligence discharged the employee involved."3. A search of Office of Security file resources has reflected information pertinent to a case in which a defector was-physically-abused at an overseas location, and the Agency employee was later terminated by the DCI. It is not known whether the following case is identical to the referenced case on page 170 of the Commission Report, but the facts appear to be quite similar.4. Information developed by this Office of possible interest to the Inspector General, pertains to one John Torpats, an ex-CIA employee, and one Eduard Oun, an Estonian defector.5. Torpats was born in 1898 in Estonia, and became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1926. Torpats was employed by CIA in February 1949 and was terminated 30 January 1961. The file information reflected that in July 1956, Torpats was found guilty of mistreatment of an alien by a Special Inquiry BoardSECRET

# SECRETin Frankfurt, West Germany. The alien involved was EduardOun, an Estonian who defected from Estonia through Swedenin 1955.6.  The incident in Frankfurt involved mistreatment of    Oun during interrogations directed by Torpats. The charges    of physical abuse included the striking of Oun with the fist;    application of turpentine and ointments to various parts of    the body, the scrubbing of Oun's body with a brush, and forc    ing Ounto stand in the nude as long as eight days during    interrogations with only very brief rest periods.7.  Torpats was returned to Headquarters and was brought    before an Employment Review Board for consideration of separa-    tion from the Agency. The Board's recommendations initially    were that Torpats be "transferred to an area outside the    Clandestine Services." Torpats appealed the decision, and a    later recommendation included reduction in grade from GS-14    to GS-13. Torpats later received unsatisfactory fitness re-    ports and engaged in various "in house" battles with Agency    officials concerning his employment.8.  Torpats was later terminated in accordince with the    authority granted the DCI under Section 102(C) of the National    Security Act of 1947, as ammended, effective 30 January 1961.    Later in 1961, Torpats_filed_suit-against-the-DGI-contesting    his dismissal, and the U.S. District Court for the District of    Columbia granted the government's motion for summary judgment    against Torpats. Torpats appealed the decision, and the U.S.    Court of Appeals, in 1962, upheld the lower court's ruling    that Torpats' termination_was.legal9.  The Office of Security file of Eduard Oun contained    little information other than interrogation reports dated 1956.    It was not clear from file information whether Oun entered the    United States after the Frankfurt incident. The most recent    document contained in the Oun file was dated 17 September    1956 and noted that Oun had been psychiatrically examined and    round qualified for Agency sponsored immigration to the U.S.    under Public Law 203.2SECRET

Helms could not remember an exact name, but from the description which he gave on his deposition, it is clear that the employee who was fired was John Torpats. He was discharged by Allen W. Dulles in 1960.Torpats, himself a Lithuanian refugee, was working in the Defector Reception Center in Frankfort, Germany. In the course of interrogating another Lithuanian defector, Torpats beat him. After Torpats was fired, he sued the Director (then McCone). He lost the case.Walt ElderWalter Eldercc - DCIcc - IGcc - OGCSECRETCB: 007789E2 IMPDET

Excerpts from Meeting No. 2 with NosenkoReel No. 1, 11 June 1962 (The quality of the tape is very poor.)Translated from Russian by P. D(N. talks about surveillance of Soviet personnel in the United States.)Nosenko: Let me tell you - I (---) I was also in the States, although under another name. I had a certain business there . . .Q. This was (?) in Washington (?)?Nosenko: Yes, I was there.Q: On TDY?Nosenko: 19 days, 19 days only.Q: Under what name?Nosenko: NIKOLAYEV.Q: NIKOLAYEV?Nosenko: In England I was NIKOLAYEV and in your country I was NIKOLAYEV,Q: --first and middle name?Nosenko: Yes, Yuriy, Yuriy, also Yuriy.Q: And in England you also were for a short time?Nosenko: In England I was for ten and fifteen days.Note: During the interrogation of Nosenko in 1964, he denied that he ever said that he was in the United States.2. You stated previously that while traveling to England and Cuba, you were documented as Nikolayev. Under what cover did you travel to those countries? What was your Legend-Biography?Note: Any KGB officer going abroad under another name and under cover prepares a Legend-Biography to cover up his real identity. If Nosenko travelled as Nikolayev, then his legend omitted "the fact" that he was a son of a Minister because there was no Minister of Shipbuilding Industry with the name of Nikolayev, etc., etc.)3. You stated previously that in January 1960 you were processed to go to the US with the Soviet Automotive Delegation. You obtained a passport in your true name, Nosenko, but the date was postponed, then cancelled. Who selected your candidacy for the trip? What were you supposed to do in the USA? Why was the trip postponed? Why were you processed in your true name, Nosenko, and not under the name Nikolayev, under which you visited England?

4. In 1962 you stated that while working with the KGB, you personally recruited ten Americans. Please give us their names and how you recruited them.Note: Nosenko was asked why he was chosen to go to Geneva in 1962 instead of an officer from the Department (KGB) Delegation. Answering this question he mentioned the recruitment of ten Americans.Excerpts from: Meeting No. 2 with Nosenko11 June 1962Nosenko: Gribanov, the chief of the whole counterintelligence. (Ilis name)Oleg Mikhaylovich Gribanov. . . so, Oleg Mikhaylovich Gribanov decided you go, that I must be here (in Geneva). I said, "Be my guest, Oleg Mikhaylovich. I am not saying no. . ." So Gribanov decided "You will go. That's all" (Nosenko knocked on the desk). . .Well, what am I? . . . Who have I recruitted? . . . Ten Americans, no more than that . . . (and Gribanov said) "You will go! You must go!"III. Soviet visas and other regulations for tourists traveling to the USSR.1. Didn't you know or remember how Oswald's visa was processed and from what country Oswald entered the USSR? Is it possible that he entered the USSR on a "podvisnaya" visa?2. You previously said that you saw Oswald's visa application, but you could not say from what country Oswald came to the USSR. In your opinion, is it possible that Oswald received his visa application in some other European country, then went to Finland and through Finland entered the USSR without contacting the Soviet consulate in Helsinki? Did you hear any talk about the possibility that is described above? If so, when did you hear it and from whom?3. On 3 July 1964 you stated that you have seen Oswald's *anketa* (visa application). Do you remember what was in that *anketa*? Did you read the *anketa*? What did you mean that you saw the *anketa*? Was it in the name Lee Harvey Oswald, or was there another name? Did you see the name of the person who signed the *anketa*?
