THE TIMING OF THE OFFER BY THE FIVA GROUP ONWEDNESDAY, 25 MARCH, FALLS DIRECTLY INTO THE MIDDLE OF THEWINDOW ESTABLISHED BY LWOPUS (24-26 MARCH). ALSO, LWOPUSNOTED THAT IF THERE WERE ANY DOUBTS ABOUT GETTING THEMANUSCRIPT-ACROSS THE LITHUANIAN BORDER, HE WOULD RESORT TO ARESERVE VARIANT BUT WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF OTHER PARTIES,I.E., HE WOULD APPROACH SOMEONE ELSE.B. LWOPUS SENT A SAMPLE OF HIS WORK TO US NOT FORPUBLICATION BUT FOR A CRITICAL READING. HE STATED THAT IF APUBLISHING HOUSE SHOWED INTEREST IN HIS MANUSCRIPT, AGREEMENT

MHFNO 92-7827323SENSIND SECRET PAGE: 4COULD BE REACHED REGARDING JOINT ACTIONS AND MUTUAL LEGALCOMMITMENTS ALTHOUGH-MONETARY-COMPENSATION-IS-IMPLIED. LWOPUS DOES NOT MENTION ANY SPECIFIC SUM, RATHER HE SUGGESTSTHAT HE IS WILLING TO ENTER INTO SOME SORT OF CONTRACTUALAGREEMENT. THIS IS COMPATIBLE WITH WHAT THE FIVA GROUPAPPEARS TO BE ATTEMPTING. THE FIVA GROUP STATES IN NOUNCERTAIN TERMS THAT THEY NEED MONEY.C. IN EACH CASE THERE APPEARS TO BE A LARGE VOLUMEOF MATERIAL. LWOPUS STATED THAT UP TO NOW HE HAS PREPAREDSEVEN FOLDERS ON FOURTEEN COUNTRIES AND FORESEES WRITING 22-25 SMALL BOOKS OR EPISODES ON DIFFERENT COUNTRIES. THE FIVAGROUP ALSO IMPLIES THAT A LARGE VOLUME OF MATERIAL EXISTS.LWOPUS CLAIMS THAT HIS WRITINGS WERE BASED ONLY ON DOCUMENTARYSOURCES. THE FIVA GROUP MAKES NO SUCH CLAIM, BUT IMPLIES THATTHEIR MATERIAL IS FROM PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE.D. BASED UPON THE GEOGRAPHIC DIVERSITY OF THEMATERIAL AND THE TIME SPAN IT ENCOMPASSES, WE SUSPECT THELWOPUS MANUSCRIPT MIGHT BE A JOINT EFFORT. IF IT IS NOT AJOINT EFFORT, COLLECTION MUST HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR A LONGTIME BY SOMEONE WITH EXCELLENT ACCESS TO ARCHIVAL MATERIAL.THE FIVA GROUP IS A COMMON EFFORT OF AT LEAST FOUR (ANDPROBABLY MORE) RETIRED KGB OFFICERS.E. LWOPUS NOTED THAT HE IS CONCERNED FOR HIS SAFETYAND THAT OF HIS FAMILY. HIS FAILURE TO SHOW AT THE EMBASSY INVILNIUS DURING THE WINDOW MIGHT BE THE RESULT OF HIS CONCERN.AMBASSADOR JOHNSON STATED THAT HE HAD ALREADY ALERTED THEEMBASSY, INCLUDING THE LITHUANIAN FSN IN HIS OFFICE, THAT THEYSHOULD BE ALERT FOR THE RETURN OF THE LWOPUS MESSENGER. IFLWOPUS BECAME AWARE THAT THE LITHUANIAN EMPLOYEE HAD BEEN TOLDTO WATCH FOR THE MESSENGER, HE MAY HAVE ELECTED NOT TO RETURN.IN SUCH CASE, ASSUMING THAT YURASOV IS CONNECTED WITH THE FIVAGROUP, THEIR OFFER TO THE HOLLYWOOD FIRM MAY BE AN ALTERNATEPLAN.F. IN EACH CASE, THE MATERIAL PRESENTED WOULD HAVEAPPEAL FOR THE GROUP TO WHICH IT IS OFFERED, I.E.
