: Case 64574 USSR External Policy - Pugwash Conference
Munich, Germany, August 1977
1. Enclosed you will find a list of attendees (Enclosure A)
to the Pageash Conference held in mich, Germany, in August
, 
and
a set of questions (Enclosure B) prepared by the 
ORPA analysts
at our request. Since the original list 
of attendees contained
only the last name and first initial of each US 
participant, we
had to make some educated guesses as to the true 
identities of
many of them. As a result, do not be surprised if some question
why we felt they had 
attended. In many cases, however, there was
no question as to the true 
identity of the source.
2. ORPA has been quite pleased with the reporting generated
by their previous requirements. As a result, they 
have race an
extra exfort to write even more thought provoking requirements
.
We feel that the enclosed questions are the best we 
have sent 
out
to date.
3. Responsive reporting should cite the current CIFL, Objective
Ala and KIQ 90. Ke look forward to receiving your 
responses.

RELEVANCE OR NON-RELEVANCE TO OSWALD & JFK ASSASSINATION:
Neither the information or time frame is relevant. See Summary below.
REASON OR ASSUMED REASON FOR INCLUSION IN THIS COLLECTION.
A review of the HSCA volumes did not surface an "Abram" Chayes but an "Abraham" Chayes, a legal
advisor to the State Department, who maintained that at the time Oswald received his visa to enter Russia
from the Soviet Embassy in Helsinik, normally at least 1 week would elapse between the time of a tourist's
application and the issuance of a vias. It would appear that Abram and Abraham are not identical to each
other. Betty Lichtenfeld of the HSCA reviewed the file on 17 August 1978.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION WITHIN FILE:
