HE STUDIED BRIEFLY AT YALE UNIVERSITY AND WAS EXPELLED FOR   MISBEHAVIOR (NFI). FOR A SHORT TIME THEREAFTER, HE WORKED FOR UNITED   PRESS INTERNATIONAL AND "DE TELEGRAFF", A MAJOR DUTCH DAILY   NEWSPAPER, BUT WAS FIRED FROM BOTH. IN 1956, HE MARRIED AN AMERICAN   GROUND STEWARDESS, AND IN ON 10 JUNE 1958, HE WAS ADMITTED TO THE   UNITED STATES IN NEW YORK CITY AS A PRA, A STATUS WHICH HE HELD UNTIL   AT LEAST 1987. IN 1960, HE DIVORCED HIS WIFE, AND IN 1961, WAS   LIVING WITH A PHILIPINO MALE.5. NUMEROUS FIELD REPORTS INDICATE THAT IN 1956, OLTMANS   ARRANGED AN INTRODUCTION FOR HIMSELF TO INDONESIAN PRESIDENT   ((SUKARNO)) WITH WHOM HE THEN TRAVELED THROUGH EURPOPE IN 1956 AS   SUKARNO'S GUEST. HIS TRIP FROM INDONESIA TO THE U.S. IN FEBRUARY 1957   WAS PAID FOR BY THE INDONESIAN GOVERNMENT, AND ALL INDICTIONS WERE   THAT HE WAS BEING USED AS A TOOL BY THE INDONESIAN GOVERNMENT TO   CARRY ON PROPAGANDA IN THE U.S. AND AT THE UN. DURING THE PERIOD   1960-1961, HE SHUTTLED BETWEEN EUROPE AND THE UNITED STATES.6. SUBJECT NEXT APPEARS IN OUR RECORDS IN 1968, WHEN HE   TELEPHONED THE DIRECTOR OF THE U.S. INFORMATION AGENCY (USIA) IN THE   HAGUE TO ADVISE THEM THAT HE WAS ANTI-AMERICAN AND TO GIVE THE USIA   INFORMATION ON ANTI-AMERICAN DUTCH GROUPS IN THE NETHERLANDS.7. IN 1972, SUBJECT PLANNED TO MAKE A FILM ON ECOLOGY IN THE   FORMER SOVIET UNION AND VISITED THERE 23-26 JANUARY TO MAKE THE FINAL   ARRANGEMENTS. AT THIS TIME, THE DUTCH SERVICE CLAIMED THAT OLTMANS   HAD A FIVE YEAR RETAINER FROM THE RUSSIANS AS AN OVERT PR MAN. THERE   IS NO INDICATION IN THE FILE THAT THE FILM WAS EVER MADE.8. IN MARCH AND APRIL 1977, OLTMANS GAINED A GREAT DEAL OF   PUBLIC ATTENTION IN THE U. S. AND THE NETHERLANDS WHEN HE TESTIFIED   *BEFORE THE U. S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES<ASSASSINATIONS>COMMITTEE ON   *THE LATE GEORGE DE ((MOHRENSCHILDT))'S CONNECTION WITH<LEE HARVEY>   *<((OSWALD))>AND THE MURDER OF PRESIDENT<JOHN>F.<((KENNEDY)).> IT HAD   LONG BEEN KNOWN THAT DE MOHRENSCHILDT, AS PART OF THE DALLAS   RUSSIAN-SPEAKING COMMUNITY, WAS CLOSE TO OSWALD. OLTMANS HAD LONG   BEEN CULTIVATING DE MOHRENSCHILDT AS A NEWS SOURCE AND FRIEND. IN   JANUARY, 1976, DE MOHRENSCHILDT WROTE OLTMANS THAT HE WAS PREPARING A   BOOK ON HOW HE (DE MOHRENSCHILDT) WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR OSWALD'S   *<ASSASSINATION>OF<KENNEDY.>9. IN MAY 1983, THE DUTCH SERVICE HAD A TELTAP (WHICH THEY   CONSIDERED HIGHLY SENSITIVE AS IT INVOLVED ONE OF THEIR OWN CITIZENS)   ON OLTMANS WHO SEEMED TO REVEAL SOME INTERESTING TIDBITS SOME OF   WHICH MIGHT BE CONSIDERED GOSSIP, BUT WHICH MIGHT BE OF SERIOUS   INTEREST TO ANALYSTS WATCHING THE INTERPLAY OF HIGH LEVEL SOVIET   PERSONALITIES, PARTICULARLY WHEN HE TALKED TO HIS LEFTIST DUTCH   FRIENDS. THE QUESTION OF OLTMANS'PRA STATUS CAUSED HQS TO REQUEST A   STANDDOWN ON FURTHER ELICITATION OF INFO DERIVED FROM THE DUTCH   SERVICE TELTAP ON OLTMANS UNTIL A REVIEW OF LEGAL ASPECTS COULD BE   MADE. IT BECAME HOS UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS TELTAP WAS BEING   SECRET
