MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT:
Contact Report of Meetings with MPTROIKA-7 in
New York City on 14 February and in Virginia on
17-18 February 1972
1. This memorandum covers recent meetings with
MPTROIKA-7 in New York City and in the Northern Virginia
area. The meetings were held under secure conditions and
there were no security incidents noted.
2.
Operational:
a.. United States
The manager
China Friendship Association
(USCFA) Study Group: (M-7's persistent efforts to locate
and join a pro-Mao study group finally paid off.
of the China Bookstore finally broke down under M-7's
campaign and put her in touch with a local USCFA study
group under the leadership of Mrs. Susan Warren, aka Frank.
M: 7 has attended one session and, based on her initial
observation, provided the assessment of Mrs. Warren attached
hereto at the undersigned's request. M- 7 believes she has
hit it off with Mrs. Warren because of her understanding
of dialectics (thanks to Andy Ness's tutoring) and, consequently,
she was instructed to attempt to develop a social-business
relationship with her. With respect to the other members
of the study group, M-7 claims that the situation, to date,
has not been conducive to ferreting out the identities of
these individuals, but that she hopes that as the group
continues to meet, some rapport will be established with her
classmates.
b. New School and language instruction: __ 7
has formally enrolled at the Graduate Faculty of the New
School for Social Research in a course entitled "Comparative
Legal Systems," which studies the theories, institutions,
concepts, customs and which purports to analyze and compare
the law and the administration of law in selected countries,
included China, Japan, Vietnam, Germany, the U.S. and the
Soviet Union. M-7 will also enroll in a French language
instruction course in the near future.

Ramparts' Tours
New York Media Workshop's
Womens' Tour: Acting on a suggestion proposed by Mr. Jason
Horn, CI/SO, the undersigned raised the subject of the Women's
Tour which is scheduled to visit London, Paris (where they
will meet the DRV peace delegation) and Rome from 27 May
25 June 1972 with M-7 and instructed her to attempt to determine
the interest in, and likely composition of, the New York
group and explore the possibility of joining such a group
and explore the possibility of joining such a group. M-7's
first reaction to the tour was that the cost ($699, which
price includes airfare, trains, hotels, etc.) was too high.
It was explained to her that the cost factor should not
deter her from following through. It was then that M-7
voiced some concern that the timing of the tour may interfere
with her own PCS departure (we had been talking in terms of
mid-May or June 1972 up to this point). It was made clear
to her that no fixed date has been established as yet for
her PCS departure and that the aforementioned tour may well
prove to be of operational interest, e.g. meeting the DRV
delegation and continuing the staging process prior to her
actual departure.BY CHECK_-_B:37 said that she understood and would
look into the matter. She did not believe she would have
any difficulty in covering for funds should she find herself
included on the tour.
d. South East Asia Reports (SEAR): M-7 produced
a copy of the first issue of SEAR, a bi-weekly newsletter
put out by the New York University Students Mobilization
Committee, Box 59, Loeb Student Center, 566 LaGuardia Place,
N.Y.C. 10003. (M-7' is listed as one of five contributing
Staff members on the back page of this mimeographed new
left publication. A copy of this first issue is attached.
hereto. One of M-7's articles will appear in a subsequent
issue of SEAR.
e. JBMINIMUM Testing and Training: As part of
M-7's covert training and assessment in anticipation of her
foreign assignment, the undersigned arranged for two members
of the Psychological Assessment Branch, TSD (Messrs. DeMarco.
and Saunders) to administer a JBMINIMUM test to her and to
brief her in the use and value of the JBMINIMUM test in a
field situation. This training and briefing took place on
18 February in a safehouse in N. Arlington, Va. (A copy
of the JBMINIMUM assessment on M-7 will be made a matter of
record in her official dossier). M-7 was introduced as
"Miss Julie" to members of the PAB/TSD for purpose of this
test and briefing. (Mr. Andy Ness devoted the afternoon of
18 February with M-7 for the purpose of continuing her training

in dialectics, which she has found to be particularly useful
in understanding the study group discussion and to permit
her participation.)
2.
Administrative:
a. Salary and Operational Advances. The undersigned
paid M-7 her January salary on a $500 advance on 17 February
1972. She also received a $300 advance on 14 February 1972.
These advances were necessary because of the expenses __:_:_37
had incurred in enrolling at the New School and to pay for
her French lessons. (One of the reasons {M-7 was brought down
to the Washington area was to straighten out a problem
she was having with her accounting. Hopefully, she is now
convinced that she had been receiving all that was due her.)
b. Tax Administration and Notification of Personnel
Action. (M-7 was notified of the change in the tax assessment
and of the adjustments in her salary due to the legislative
pay increase and the withholding of premiums for hospitaliza-
tion.
3. Actions to be taken.
a. M-7's assignment abroad. Per the undersigned's
discussions with Messrs. Flitcroft and Cornish, a telepouch
dispatch will be sent to Bangkok Station proposing M-7's:
assignment to Bangkok, primarily for housekeeping purposes,
but with a regional mission to perform. (The undersigned
is presently working on this message.}
b. Concelament device. M-7 requested a conceal-
ment device for her microdot viewer which the undersigned will
attempt to obtain from TSD. Additionally, the undersigned
will request TSD to provide. concealment devices for M-7's
general use as a storage for papers and funds.

SUBJECT: Mrs. Susan Warren aka Susan Frank
-
Susan is a tough cookie. One of her most outstanding
features is a complete lack of interest in anyone but her-
self. When leading a China study class this is her method:
first she asks a question, from her notes, such as "What
do you think Mao meant when he said this..." Then she
clamly listens to what the class thinks Mao menat. When
everyone finishes Susan begins to tell exactly what he
meant to say. Through the evening her attitude remains
the same "I've been here before and said this before."
There is no enthusiasm in her that I could see.
me.
Susan is an expert on China.
I know because she told
She told everyone else too within the first eight
minutes of class. "Well, I spoke to those soldiers in
Yunan who fired on those peasants..." But she really didn't
have to advertize her knowledge because it is very apparent.
She has a solid understanding of Chinese political line and
can smoothly defend Chinese history.
As far as the woman herself is concerned she has
not as much money as she would like. I believe she wants
to dress in 'style. Now, although dressing conservatively
she still developes an eye for color and she would clearly
be receptive to intelligent male attention. She has a
nice figure and is aware of it.
Perhaps the clue which best typifies Susan's personality
∙is her voice. It is deep, slow, even and artificially
cultured. For example, "r's" become "d" in "veddy" or
"Amedica".
Her hand movements when she speaks are measured and
deliberate. While listening she fidgits a little but not
much.
Both are

filed almost to points, are very thick and yellowish-
moreso than other nails.
While she is concerned with herself I believe she
would follow someone who either interested her or gently

led her. There is a part of her normally conservative
character that would like to break away and try new things
(altho' not new ideas in politics.)
One last remark, she is a straightforward person;
will look you in the eye, will tell someone not to speak
too long if she wants to move on to something else.
These observations were made after one meeting in
a study class and for a few minutes before class.
