# SECRETMemorandum to Mr. W. R. WammallRe: Samuel. Adason Jaffe105-28333Soviet defector ["Sammy"] has advised that Jaffe was recruited by the KGB, in about 1962 while he was in Moscow, through his relationship with a Soviet female. Soviet defector "Shamrock" has confirmed that Jaffe was approached but does not believe the approach was successful. Jaffe reported to the New York Office in 1963 what he interpreted as a recruitment effort, and he was extensively reinterviewed in 1969 concerning his association with KGB officers in Moscow.

He several times mentioned his concern that ris association with the FBI might be the reason. On each occasion, he was assured that the FBI had never divulged his confidential relationship and would not do so any time in the future.Jaffe's file does disclose that during an interview with Washington Field Agents in 1969, he said that he had learned from a British Incolligence contact in Hong Kong that his recall from that city was caused by his refusal to cooperate with CIA. He also related that he later mentioned this to a CIA contact in Washington who responded that the BritishSECRET- 2 -CONTINUED - OVER

His file also records that Jaffe told New York Agents in 1969 that a recently published book on the Council of Foreign Relations described him as having a subversive background.
