whereas 
earlier he had refused except for a token payment of Frs. 5,000

the cost of the medical examination we asked him to have mide.
Subject was then introduced to Identity (known as "John”) and
the interpreter (known as "Paul"). Subject, in keeping with the wishes of
Identity, was not told that Identity is a psychologist. After a leisurely
and good, 
but not luxurious, lunch during which the ice was broken, the
company 
repaired to the Hotel Celtic where Identity through the interpreter
began his 
clinical exami

introductory affair, Subject was given some homework and dismissed.

Subject 
appeared 
promptly at the hotel roca and produced some of the home-
work he had 
been given. He had not finished because he had had no sleep
on the 
night of 6/7 January and, in any case, it was not expected that he

Nothing came of the check and there is no reason to believe that Subject
will be troubled further. But the prespect of complications with the
Prench authorities, who are cow-a-days frequently in an angry mood anyway,
distarted Subject so that he was not as pliable or as intent on the exercise
with fäentity as he had been. Also, act kicking what could have bee
been 
bo

circumstances, we did not dally with the remaining things which needed to

had 
not received by post the negatives he claims to
be pet Subject at the Gare Montparnasse at 1500 hours to
that he had not been able to get the negatives owing to the
reluctance of the photographers to part with them, or so he claimed.
Instead, we got several "Photomat" shots and accompanied Subject to the
vicinity of his hotel near the Gara St.. Lazard where we waited until we
Saw Subject depart from the hotel after checking out with his things.
This we knew that he had departed safely and that he had not got involved
in a police follow up.
gements with Subject: By the time we left Subject on 9
January we promised him that we would write him within five days to in-
form him of the approximate dete of the next meeting and/or give him a
"general answer whether he will be transferred to Germany; i.e., whether
he has been hired. DIR 07455 had not yet been received by us in Paris.
Before leaving Faris on 10 January we received DIR 07455 which requested
that no definite commitment be asde to Subject and we accordingly left a
draft letter with the Paris Station which will be sent to Subject on or
be sen
about 15 January. In double talk this letter will tell Subject that we
(the undersigned) have not received a definite answer, that we shall try
to get one for his sake, and that we expect to have one by about 1 February.
In the meantime Subject should make no definite plans one way or the other.
We trust that it will be possible and convenient to reach a decision con-
cerning Subject by anout 1 February. In the course of the Paris meeting
We also informed Subject that we (the undersigned) would probably come to
fetch him, which tentative assurance was given in order that subject, would
not have reason to think that he would lose contact with someone he knows"
and thereby to help buck up his morale. Subject was also told that he
would probably go to PEPRIME if hired. Otherwise, no plans or tentative
arrangerents were discussed with Subject.
8. Identity's Assessment of Subject: Case officer discussed Subject
at length with Identity and we believe it is safe and fair to state that
there is complete general agreement concerning Subject. We may disagree
on the point of pairing Subject with ASSATCHEL, but so far this would seem
to be a minor matter. Identity struck the phrase that Subject "satisfies
all selection criteria" used in PARI 4625 and will have concurred in this
dispatch. Identity would prefer not to write a precis of his assessment
at this time; he would rather submit his full assessment which will cover
his views concerning pairings with other possible candidates after his
return to Headquarters. There is little we can add and trust that this
will suffice for the time being. In general we believe that our as8809-
ment submitted as Attachment C to EGPA-24034 is not wide of the mark.
We do not, however, wish this to be construed as an indirect report on
Identity's assessment of Subject; he will submit his own report. In-
cidentally, we have enjoyed working with Identity on this case and have
learned from his techniques and approach. His trip has so far been most
salutary.
9. Comment concerning a decision on Subject: The decision on
Subject's candidature for ESOX cunt not be delayed any longer than is..
necessary. Identity agreed that Subject will keep for a time and that he.
very raca wants the job with us. There are several reasons why we think
that it would be unwise to delay the decision to remove Subject from
France to Germany where he can be hald without undue difficulty. First,
he is naturally impatient and will not be happy if he is obliged to wait

SEMENT
REPORT OF PSYCHOLOGICAL EXAMINATION.
SUBJECT: AEASPIC
Dates of Examination:
S, 9, 10 January 1959
Subject was met in Paris on the above dates by the case officer
and the examiner and was submitted to a
sychological
rination via a French inter
as not
Subject was born 12 July 1918 in Georgia which, at this tim
t part of the USSR. The Subject classifies his parents
obles and is of the opinion that their status had a great influence
upon his behavior and development particularly in the period which
followed the family's flight from Georgia to France in 1921. In other
words, the Subject abides by the prejudicial class attitude of Noblesse
Oblige and feels an obligation of honorable and generous behavior
attributable to his birth rank. He is also of the opinion that this concept
of nobility has evolved into a system of dignity and pride in his endeavors.
This concept is also extended to include the attitude: "If y
you pretend to be
something, you have to act accordingly."
The family fled Georgia before the Soviet invasion. The Subject
feels that he was too young to understand but recalls having revolted
against the flight because it was a humilitating defeat rather than a
defeat rather
tactical retreat. He operates by the attitude that one must fight,
surpass or conquer rather than to submit or accept defeat. He is,
according to his own self-concept, a person who can not tolerate being
beaten in competition. As a child the Subject felt that he was much
stronger than several million men. He presents the analogy that he
is like a man who wants to kill an elephant. All he needs provided for
him is a high powered rifle and then he would feel equal to the elephant.
The Subject admits of physical inferiority feelings by virtue of his size
and strength but he denies any feelings of intellectual inferiority and
admits that he depends more upon his mental faculties than upon his
physical abilities. Apparently the Subject has never been able to
accept what he considers the original defeat and flight from Georgia.
201-233477
14-00000
In addition
his father later returned to Georgia because b he wanted to
die in Georgia. Although the Subject can appreciate his father's point
of view he is unable to forgive his father for having admitted his defeat
by returning to Georgia to die. Although the Sabject does not regard
himself as a Georgian and is certainly not regard as a nationalist,
he is a competitive individual and may be motivated for affiliation in order
to compensate for having experienced what he regards as defeat at the
hands of the Soviets. To substantiate the validity the presence of
this attitude in his personality he offers the example that when he was
ommitted to prison he was not bothered by the priso
prison 
life but by
the fact that he had made a wrong calculation in associating himself with
an unreliable partner and consequently was arrested and imprisoned.
For him, therefore, the first day in prison was se than all the others.
According to the Subject, the sense of defeat together with the competiti
urge to balance the score is the primary factor in cis personality and
life experience. In addition to these, as was mentioned above, he is
highly self-confident and optimistic that he will succeed despite the
hazards and odds. It would appear that these attitudes are important
as regards his motivation for affiliation, management and utilization
of his services.
Because the father had provided himself with certain monies the
family was able to live comfortably and even opulently upon its arrival
in France. However, the vicissitudes of life brought the family
progressively to financial difficulties and later to material degradation.
The Subject is of the opinion that this loss of economic status had a
marked influence upon his way of thinking thereafter. Whereas the
family had previously lived in an artificial, feudalistic way it was
not brought into more direct contact with reality and, although this
was not necessarily a bad influence, life was tough. The Subject's
early loss of economic status is important as regards his selection
for affiliation because it also constituted a loss of social status which is
more primary in Subject's personality. A review of the Subject's life
history reveals that he has always responded to material incentives in
various schemes and ventures.
his
material success is a short-cut method or, in terms of his personality,
of attaining social status.
Consequently, it may be concluded that his drive for social status is
more basic than his need for financial status..
"From an early age the Subject was non-disciplined and in the
school situation he constantly rebelled against the authority of those
teachers whom he felt did not regard him as intelligent or pay him

14-00000
sufficient individual attention. Because he felt his teachers were too
distant they were automatically unpleasant and apparently his rebellious
behavior was his way of obtaining attention and getting closer to the
achers. He consistently refused to abide by the conformist attitude
of his peers and felt compelled to do those things not normally done by
others. He engaged in practical jokes and was generally y regarded as
an activist in the school situation. As a result he was expelled from
one shcool after another and accumulated a record of having attended 18
different schools. It is also of interest that he never obtained a degree
from the institutions of higher education which he attended.
This early delinquent behavior in the school situation is of
interest to us because it reflects the Subject's motivational attitudes
which are present to date. As far as he is concerned d, his scholastic
xperience, generally speaking, represents frustration, the seeking
a goal to puruse and his hope that his ideals would crystalize and
aterialize. The Subject is rather abstract in this interpretation.
It would seem that his ideal involves not only material but moral
comfort and security. However, he has always regarded society,
through his disappointments and
s and 
mortifying experiences, as wicked
selfish in its majority. Consequently, he expressed his dissatisfaction
in the form of aggressive and anti-social behavior typical of the malcontent.
and
One might ask why this individual reacted to his life experience
in this manner. He was apparently a precocious child who experienced
disillusionment both in his family and in his society. At first he felt
this disillusionment
discovered that ment was unique and peculiar to himself, but he soon

non-conforming behavior. It was as if he suddenly had discovered to
his great disappointment that there was no Santa Claus.
Another aspect of his system of ideals proceeds from his concept
of chivalry which he feels his parents inculcated. This is a sort of
Robin Hood concept by which the Subject visualizes himself as a hero
who rushes to the rescue of the weak and oppressed. This concept is
somewhat afantastic and has misguided his behavior in various situations
throughout his life. For example, the school situation, he would typically
assume blame for the wrong-doings of others. Later in life he responded
to the plight of others for the conscious reason of wanting to help them.

marked conformist who insisted that the Subject should abide by the

trying to make him conform in his attitudes toward society by well-
meaning gestures or contrivances.
The Subject continually deceived and disappointed his mother
because each time she started him in a new school he made promises
that he would behave but each time he managed to be expelled because
of his behavior. The Subject is consciously convinced that his mother
acted in his good interest and not for her satisfaction of wanting a
perfect child. However, it is the opinion of this examiner, that the
mother's over-solicitousness was compensatory for her basic rejection
of the Subject. It is not likely that she did things for him but that she
did things to and with him for herself. In other words, she wanted the
Subject to be perfect so that he could be worthy of her love. This may
also have been her attitude toward her husband. The Subject did not
behave perfectly, did not merit her love and consequently appears to
be continually seeking the love and affection of other persons. However,
the Subject cannot accept this opinion as regards his mother and denies
that she acted in her own interest. One of his principal defenses is
simply assuming the attitude that such and such is not true
when he probably believes it is true.

The Subject regards his mother as
nother as having been the axle of
the family. He also regards her as having been the major influence
in his life. He is particularly disappointed in his mother because he
feels, although he loved her, she deserted him through suicide. He
feels she had sacrificed herself completely for her children
and that
she killed herself because she no longer knew how to distribute love and
care. Concomitantly, the Subject began to lose regard for his father
when he realized that his father was not providing his mother with
affection. However, the Subject identifies with his father in the respect
that both have never achieved anything significant and consequently may
have disappointed his mother. The Subject misses his mother's love
and feels that his life was broken when she died. He found himself
completely alone and all his illusions apparently disappeared. He
has tried to obtain affection through others and realizes that his need
for affection is a big part of himself. On the other hand

Nevertheless, the father would give the shirt
off his back. The father was fond of children, loved the whole family
and was
happy when he saw others happy. However, the Subject is
disappointed in his father in that his father never succeeded. He feels
that if his father had succeeded none of the things that happened in his
life would have come to pass. He feels that his mother's suicide is a
direct consequence of his father's failure to succeed.
When the father returned to Georgia the Subject was driven to
dispair over the dissolution of the family. The Subject was the baby

of the family and the death of his mother and the departure of his
father and sister were a threat to his emotional security. He tried to
restrain his father by threatening him that because of a French law
requiring foreigners to pay taxes before leaving the country, the father
ran the risk of being arrested. When the Subject told his sister this,
she became angry and replied that the father was mature enough to act
as well as possible. The Subject's attempt to prevent his father from
leaving was conflictual for him because, although he didn't want his
father to leave, he also did not want to interfere with his father's desire.
This experience taught the Subject that when his father made a decision
he would carry it through at any cost. As it happened, the result was
the disintegration of the family. However, this incident is of interest

this may have been an additional reason why the Subject had rejected him
as a brother-in-law.
The Subject's brother, who is an architect in Gap, appears to
be an independent person who is conservative and more conforming than
the Subject. The Subject does not regard his brother as having distinguished
himself in extraordinary fashion. It is of interest that the Subject may be
jealous of his brother and states that his brother has been more successful
but in his own sphere and in terms of his own standards. It is of interest
also that the Subject's philosophy is not to accept the fact that he has been
unsuccessful but to try to explain his lack of success by the process of
introspection and self-analysis. This emphasis and orientation as regards;
obtaining a greater knowledge of himself is typically a neurotic and
represents his need to love himself and to rationalize his failures.

is likely to be more complex. It may be that the brother regards the
Subject as "Peck's Bad Boy" or the balck sheep of the family and is
interested in fostering the Subject as regards opportunities for
accomplishment or success. For some reason or other this examiner
has the feeling that the brother may have been indirectly instrumental
in the spotting of the Subject. The Subject tends to steer away from a
discussion of his brother and chiefly presents the data that this brother
is kind, somewhat vain and that he is fond of his brother. By a
comparative analysis of the Subject and his relationship to his brother
apparent that the Subject has a very strong desire to succeed
and to accomplish... He was also influenced by others in this regard.

this particular association may have contributed to his passion which
he always puts into the execution of whatever he undertakes.
The Subject claims that he has learned from his personal
experiences in life rather than from school or from the experiences
of others. He feels that he has educated himself in the school of life

item is important as far as the Subject's reaction to future training is

task in actuality rather than to learn about performing a task through
the experiences of others.

The Subject was also influenced in his mental development-by
heroes such as Lindberg, Edison, Hitler, Einstein, et alia.
Subject reasoned that if such people existed, the possibility to act
either for good or evil also existed. The Subject never identified with
one hero in particular but with heroes-in-general. As a result he
wished to be a hero himself. The Subject also remembers certain
outstanding men of history from whom he learned a certain order
was necessary for the good of the people. However, it developed
that the Subject was disillusioned in these men and his ideals were
shaken when he later learned to his dismay that they could commit
abject or monstrous acts. Related to these experiences, is the fact
that the Subject puts no stock in emblems or signs of rank or reputation.
He regards such signs as identifying labels only and is not impressed.
The fact that he tends to be a skeptic or a cynic should be important
to his handlers.
As a foreigner in France the Subject was liable to mobilization
into the French Army at the beginning of World War II. However, he
felt the authorities took an awful long time to make a decision in connection
with him and because of this he joined the French Foreign Legion and
left immediately for North Africa feeling that at last he was becoming
a member of a famous unit and at the same time fulfilling his obligations
towards the French military service. This is an example of his impulsivity,
sentimentalism and need for prestige. However, it was not long before
he became dissatisfied and expressed his discontent in opinions that

did not have any great influence on his character except that it
mobilized a profound dislike for irresolute persons. This point
was dealt with before. However, it is worthwhile to repeat that the

The Subject married for the principal reason of creating a family

involved, principles which were inculcated by his father, he now feels
that it was a ridiculous mistake to marry just for the sake of principles
without the necessary sentiments. He rationalizes that, at that time,
he was merely abiding by the precepts of his father without thinking of
the possible consequences. However, he soon discovered that creating
a family did not represent anything at all except "aggravating the
incoherence and the division of society". In other words, for the
Subject, marriage meant building a wall around himself. He also
found that, instead of finding a partner who complemented him, all he
obtained from the partnership was a reflection of himself. (In selecting
a partner for this Subject it would be wise to consider this aspect.).

I to have children. Actually, however, he did not want children as
individuals in themselves but he assumed that the marriage would
produce a child whom he exactly imagined and which would be a
reproduction of himself. However, the first child turned out to be
female and this may have shaken the Subject. The Subject voluntarily
submits that he has learned the difference between the male and the
female. This would seem to be a peculiar statement but it has a good
deal of meaning for him, particularly as regards his relationship with
his mother, sister, wife and first child. He regards women as alogical
and as being determined by a psycho-feminine education. He developed
this attitude originally as a defense against his mother's conforming
tendencies and it is probable that he crystalized the attitude when his
wife rejected him after he had attacked the bank and was arrested.
His wife had a second child while the Subject was in jail and the Subject
knows nothing about either of his children.

exposed to females who would be important in his handling.)

Even though he admired and sympathized with the Germans he claims
he would not have harmed France. All this is rather complex. However,
it is possible to understand his motivations according to his basic principle,
which involves a vague desire to help others who need it. He also
expresses pride in doing the outstanding and the difficult. The material
reward is not an ultimate end in itself. His emotionalized ideals are

of motivations will also be discussed in terms of the Subject's participațion

Although the Subject was satisfied, on the whole, with the
technical efficiency of his gang and although he was pleased with the
freedom of movement and his apparent security, he was arrested because
of carelessness or a slip, not in the actual functioning of the gang, but
rather on the part of one of the men whom the gang was helping.
Consequently the Subject was arrested by the Gestapo. Because he
was considered by the Germans to be a very important prey he played
along and led the Germans to believe that he was more important than
they had figured He hoped that such a tactic and belief on their part
would bring him certain advantages. Although he realized that he could

However, it would appear to the examiner that there is more to this
story than meets the eye. One would suspect that, since he obtained
mild treatment at the hands of the Gestapo. he probably collaborated
more than he is willing to admit at this time. It may be that he did
not fool the Gestapo at all. It is quite possible that the Gestapo used
him to pass on the authenticity of documents of other prisoners or in
some other nefarious activity. If this can be established as true by
other techniques then we are dealing with a person who places self-
preservation above all else.

not well off he was earning a decent living. According to the Subject
close young friend solicited his assistance in attacking a bank in order
to finance an intended-marriage. At first the Subject felt that the
other fellow was crazy to dare to attack a bank. He also claims to
have had a twinge of conscience and asked himself the question, "Is
it right to do harm by robbing a bank?" Furthermore, he never felt
that a team m of two partners would be able to attack a bank successfully
Apparently the other fellow was a fairly good recruiter. He reminded
the Subject of his war activities and he was of the opinion that since
the Subject had been able to accomplish certain illegal activities in
the past that he would be quite capable of attacking a bank. He also
displayed a confidence in the Subject's capability to invent a plan of
attack and played on the Subject's love of risk, of his need for friendship.
At each à point in the developments the Subject tried to withdraw by
saying: "If my mother learned of this, she would die." He postponed
the job indefinitely. However, in the meantime his mother died and his
friend felt that he no longer had an excuse. The Subject compromised
by agreeing to knock over a jewelry store. Apparently they knocked over
two jewelry stores for the sake of good measure. However, after having
spent his money, the friend again returned with a proposition to attack
the bank. The Subject told him: "You got your money for your marriage;
now leave me alone." However, the friend had not married his intended,
was broke, and was interested in financing another marriage. They
agreed that this would be the last job. Afterwards, however, the other
fellow apparently threw his
"money around and was arrested and squealed.

jailed by the French Police he was somewhat depressed by the facts that
he e had failed in his planning and also that he had greatly disappointed his
relatives who looked down upon him as a noisy and rash fellow rather
than as a man who was capable of carrying out a crime. This was
quite a blow to his ego. However, his ego didn't collapse. There have
been times in his life when he felt the entire world seemd to conspire against
him and when everything seemed destroyed. He has always felt that there
ȧre ways to get out of a mess, principally by exerting his ego. He
continues to believe that, unless a man is so weak, both physically and
morally, it is always possible for him to get back on his feet or at
least to hope that this is possible. Consequently, the Subject continues
to believe that there is always a possibility to fight and to conquer.
This optimism may be motivational in his present desire to affiliate
with us.
In the two projects which involved liberating French prisoners
and attacking the bank, Subject claims that he was betrayed by another.
However, he felt his betrayal was unimportant and consequently was not
angry at these persons. Because he feels that there are certain moral
values which he holds dearly, namely friendship, these persons lost
his esteem but he was more in contempt of himself for having miscalculated.
Although his mistakes have seriously reduced his circumstances of life,
regardless of their size and consequences, he does not feel that they have
discouraged him about future possibilities. "If there is a future, there is
hope!" The Subject feels that he has never completely lost self-control
-13-

and that he has always been a master of his actions at all times and
that these actions could have been changed by his own volition. This attitude
reveals his tremendous narcissistic investment in his own powers. As
far as this project is concerned, it would be unwise to rely upon the
Subject's judgements and it would be more prudent to plan every detail
for him and require him to abide by directions. He is an imaginative
executor but he is a very poor planner according to the testimony of
his record. His actions are often impulsive and unreasoned. Such
irrational behavior may take place in the context of a relationship

The Subject is unable to explain this peculiar aspect of his personality

and tendency to behave irrationally, and to his own disadvantage amounts
to an unconscious determinent of his behavior and is not available
to a rational analysis. His propulsion by an uncontrollable internal
force is an imp rtant point of consideration as regards his utilization:
this project.
In summary the Subject's chief motivations for illegal activity,
appear to be the following:
a. The Subject will apparently do anything for a friend or
for a person in need.
b. Subject's relish of novelty, excitement, derring-do and
action. He is a Jesse James type.
c.

and indulges himself in problem-solving behavior and apparently
obtains a compulsive satisfaction if his ideas work out. In
other words he is activated to carry out an action because of his
displaced interest in successfully engineering and accomplishing
a challenging task.

Consequently it is no surprise that he has failed repeatedly through
his life.
In regards to the above, another incident of this man's life is
relevant. His left index fingertip and thumb tip are missing. He claims
to have lost these in an explosion which occurred in Germany when he
was involved in the repatriation deal. According to him, after the
bombing of Berlin, he picked up among the ruins an unexploded bomb
of British origin and took it home to salvage the explosive which he
might have used in various ways. While he was removing the detonator
which was probably stuck in its receptacle, it exploded in his hands.
The explosion occurred so quickly that there was no immediate pain

explained that he had played with a fountain pen which had burst. They
took cognizance of his decorations and advised him never to pick up

The Subject does not regret the fact that he tried to dismantle the
bomb. because he feels he had definitely learned that one should keep
-16-

his hands away from certain things. This bomb incident may be indicative
of the things which were discussed in the preceeding paragraphs. There
may be more to the bomb incident than the Subject offers but this could
not be established by the clinical method.
Subject feels that a critic would say of him that the majority of
his undertakings have brought results which were considerably less
than hoped for. Consequently, he feels that a critic would regard him
either an optimist or a joker or else that his views on the possibilities
of accomplishing are not very sound.
In his own defense the Subject feels that he has made many
mistakes in his life but however big these mistakes were, he does
not feel that they have basically influenced his character. He feels
that his character basically involves the desire to become a worth-
while individual even at the cost of behaving wrongly. He feels that if
the only criteria for judging a man are his achievements, that he may
be regarded as a failure. He emphasizes that the value of an achievement
does not consist in its spectacular magnitude or in its multiplicity.
For example, he feels that it is not necessary to mass-produce a
machine or an object in order to fully understand its function.
He
realizes that,
t, commercially speaking, it is more rational to mass-
produce the item but this repetition does not interest him. In his
opinion, the creative idea and the
prototype have a much greater
value and importance than the establishment of a factory which would
popularize the prototype. To illustrate this attitude further, the
Subject is of the opinion that one single thought from a great figure
is more valuable than millions of books which are published annually.
This attitude, of course, may be interpreted as the defensive orientation
of a romantic idealist who has not achieved in practical affairs. However,
there is more to this. In the Subject's value system, it is more important
to act intelligently, sensibly and efficiently. For example, if he were
asked to open a window he feels that it would be up to him to decide
as regards the appropriate method. He likes to carry out an intellectual
effort which results in efficiency. Consequently, he may be regarded
more as an "idea man" than an implementer.

energy will have to be rationally harnessed if it is

urge for self-preservation is stronger than his desire to solve problems
or to carry through on a venture. On the other hand, 
the Subject claims
that he always tries his hardest to heep his promises. 
Thus, if he

the dangers involved. He may be rash in this regard

him,

-18-
$4-00000
definitely out of place. Consequently, the Subject does not think he will
be a very different person in the future from what he is now. However,
he hopes that his material situation will have improved not necessarily
financially, but socially. He also naively hopes that the world will
change and that there will be no discrimination and that there will
be a general improvement of living conditions for everyone. He is a
humanitarian in his outlook but he is not an activistic social reformer,
except in the sense that he is an individualistic rèbel. Generally he
strives to improve his own standard of living and he feels that his
own inclination to better things is the disease of all inventors. The
Subject also hopes to acquire, if necessary, a nationality by virtue of
which he could feel that be actually belongs to a society. However
he is ambivalent in this regard. He regards society as being anxious.
to stamp and label individuals and he would prefer to be an individualist
Outside of society than to be a member of society if he is required to
conform. As was said before, his handlers would be wise not to label,
to type or to try in any way to get the Subject to
to society.
He will run rings around them like he did his mother. As regards his
future outlook, the Subject is not entirely optimistic. He feels that he
will never be able to reach his ideals because his material ideal (social
reform), is so distant and so difficult that he would need to lead-many
lives in order to attain it. It might be unfair to designate him as a
pessimist. As was said before, he is more of a skeptic and perhaps
a cynic. Consequently, one should be careful as regards inculcating
ideological or social motives. One should be content to accept his
motives in their present state. Tampering with them would only result
in disturbing the Subject and the relationship.
The Subject denies that he has any emotional interest in or
emotional attachment to France at this time. Although it was likely
that he was sentimentally patriotic before the war it is a fact that he
has been branded as a criminal and has been
has been deprived of certain civil
rights and privileges. He now perhaps feels rejected and in turn
is rejecting France. Nevertheless he strikes the examiner as a
Frenchman in terms of the way he thinks, feels and acts. He is
certainly not a Russian in his personality. He expresses himself
freely, is discursive, voluble, and is able to carry on a conversation
intensely and indefinitely on his topics of interest. This is typically
French, but, in terms of his personality, it represents an oral
characteristic." In other words he is inclined to express himself
orally and is motivated to obtain love and affection together with
other supplies by oral incorporation. What this means to you is that
-19-
1-4-00000
ST
he is "mouthy" and he will eat you up if you are not careful or if you
get too close. Incorporation is the epitomy of control. Consequently,
if you allow him to incorporate you he's got control, not you. Be wary,
and detached in this regard. He has already eaten up the case officer.
The Subject is currently involved in his avocation of inventions
and is the owner and exploiter of several patents. He has engaged the
financial and technical interests of several others in his inventions.
He currently presents the problem of being divided between the
invention business and continuing in the preliminary phases with us.
He claims that if he were to join us he would have to relinquish every-
thing to his business partners. This is probably true, and it is also
probably true that he would relinquish his invention interest but at the
same time, he presents this item in the fashion of a con man. It would
be wise to ignore this gambit.

ng. 
However, in his training,
other things will have to be kept in mind. He is an-narcissistic
character who feels that because he lacks the love of others he needs
to love himself. In other words, he is quite in love with himself
and thereby acts accordingly. He also tends to rationalize and to
offer socially acceptable reasons for his individualistic behavior
and for his past failures. He acts because he thinks he is right
and because he will succeed. He is quite egotistical in this regard.
He strives chiefly for emotional satisfaction. It would be wise to
remember also that he appears to be altruistic-but at the same time invas
he is selfish. He will do things for others and for the community
but will hope to get something out of it for himself. The altruistic and
selfish drives merge and he is motivated by both at the same time.
He needs to prove to others that he is capable of success and he is
self-confident in his power but is insecure that others
may not regard
him as adequate. Basically he is an exhibitionist, but is too sophisticated
to brag or to display himself in a transparent manner. However, he
needs attention and is likely to do things in order to get attention. This
is what he has done in the past. He particularly strives not to be regarded
'as bad a evil. He wants to be regarded as a person who has differences of

opinions and conflicts with the social order. It would be fair to say that
he is not a true criminal but is more of a neurotic character who
expresses his conflicts and difficulties by non-conforming behavior. He
is a stubborn fellow who does not like to be defeated and strives to
conquer. Despite his tendencies to magical thinking he strives to
rational and realistic, but his strong emotional pressures get in
way. He experiences melancholy and depressive mood swings
maintains a light side and attempts to relieve his dysphoric feelings
with lightness and humor. He relies
on the technique of
humor to relieve tension and to avoid the demobilization of anxiety
in interpersonal relationship. His humor may be regarded as
good index of his anxiety.
In light of the above the Subject's motivation for affiliation at
this time is rather complex. However, on the surface it is positive,
spontaneous, voluntary and tense. He is really on the shelf in Gap,
is isolated lonely, controlled in his movements restricted in his
aspirations and unable to realize freedom and to develop himself as an
individual Consequently, the assignment represents a unique opportunity
to escape from his present level of existence and it is no wonder that he
is pushing for a quick release from Gap. However, if he were released
without the sufficient establishment of controls and the application of
selection techniques he may prove to be a difficult handling problem in
the future. It is recommended that his processing be slowed down to
a hault and that security and other operational requirements be satisfied
prior to lifting him out of Gap: Once he is taken out of Gap he, like the
con man, is on first base, and, no matter how you slice it, he will have
established himself in a bargaining position.

personality.

Although the Subject is a rank individualist and a non-conformist
he realizes that he must cope with the community and must sacrifice
for the good of the community. In particular, he would not like to harm

others. In this regaid it is unlikely that the Subject has even
committed physical assault nor is it likely that he would in the
future. No matter what the other person would represent to the
Subject he would still be regarded as a human being whom the
Subject would respect and would not harm. The Subject is not
necessarily a hostile person. He will act out of exigency but will
deliberately avoid being sadistic or wontonly cruel. This is of
importance as far as the project is concerned. If the Subject were to
find himself in a tight spot which required killing another person it
is not likely that he would do so. It is more likely that he would attempt
to resolve.the situation by verbal machinations.
but
a's
The Subject prefers to work alone as regards technical research
an or gards the execution of an operation, he prefers to be part of
zation. He knows he can rely upon himself when he is alone
and that others have been unreliable in the past. However, if it is
necessary for him to work with others he will accept it. It must be
kept in mind, however, that he would prefer to work alone. The
Subject is likely to be loyal to a person whom he regards as superior
and in the relationship he may even be critical of himself. In order
to express his loyalty he would like to prove his usefulness to the
superior but, at the same time, he would feel inadequate in that he
would require the protection of a superior. In his initial contacts with
partner, the Subject would attempt to assume leadership on the team
but if the partner were superior by virtue of intelligence and/or experience,"
the Subject would tend to follow. It is likely that he would be a better
follower of an adequate leader than a leader of a less adequate person.
The reason for this is that he is more of a dependent than an independent
person in terms of his interpersonal relationships. Furthermore, he is
inclined to act on impulse and sentiment and consequently his judgement
is questionable. In terms of ideal pairing, the Subject would work better
with a more sober-minded, calculating and mature indi vidual whom he
would respect and with whom he would enjoy an informal but authoritative
relationship.
Prior to the last session of the preliminary examination on the
10th of January 1959 the Subject was routinely contacted by the French
Police who were investigating his reasons for being in Paris at that time.
As a result of this contact, the Subject was markedly apprehensive and
preoccupied and was not able to freely devote himself to the psychological
analysis as theretofore. The Subject's primary motive is, of course,
self-preservation and since he is an extremely alert and vigilant.
individual he is likely to over-react and to become emotionally upset

25
14-00000
with such a provocation. Because of this it appears that the Subject
needs the guiding influence of a more mature experienced person who
is in more
that the Suntrol of the situation. An additional point of interest is
is capable of using such an experience as the visit by
the police as a device to control. For example, because of the visit
by the police, the Subject aborted
the same thing, in another way, on Psychological analysis. He did
preceeding contact with the
case officer. It is as if the Subject does not want us to get too close
and
to learn too much about him. The third aspect of this behavior is
that the Subject for some reason or other consciously or unconsciously feels
he has "arrived" and is acceptable to our service. In other words, he
“may act according to the opinion that a decision has been made in his
favor and consequently he sees no need for enduring a psychological
analysis. It is likely that he would have the same attitude toward
security interrogation and as regards training.
As regards the general selection criteria for the project it
would appear that the Subject satisfies the requirements of intelligence,
resourcefulness, mechanical talent, team-ability, infiltration-exfiltration
However
capability, good health, physical stamina, motivation, etc.
there are other factors which may or may not vitiate the positive features.
These factors are pertinent to areas such as security and handling. It is
recommended that before the Subject is removed from Gap that he be
administered a security examination in a controlled situation. Such
an examination should be conducted by a skilled and experienced
individual who is fluent in French, who is unbiased and objective and
With
who is not overly-rigid as regards his conventional standards.
such an examiner, there is a fifty-fifty chance that the Subject would
satisfy security standards. The other problem area which remains is
that of handling, and unless this is thought out carefully and appropriate
personnel assigned, the hand will be quicker than the eye.

MEMORANDUM FOR: THE RECORD
DRAFT
11 December 1958
SUBJECT
David TZITZICHVILI
-
Red Sox Candidate
This is an indirect assessment of the above named individual
based on a W-B test administered by a case officer in the field and on
PRQI. Subject apparently is being considered for a two-man mission
of relatively short duration. The main questions about him seem to be:
he learn to do what will be required? What would be his motivation?
With what sort of person would he get on best in a two-man team? What
cial problems can be anticipated and avoided in his handling ?
A brief telephone report was supplied to the headquarters
case officer on 10 December 1958. It was stated that Subject possesses
adequate intelligence, unusual social skills, and a propensity for getting
what he wants without conscience. He is impulsive and surprisingly
མ ནུ ཙཱཡོ, ཨི ཀུ ཨེཏུཏྟ ''གཉ---- i
irrational in satisfying his personal desires. He will appear at first
to have leadership skill and interest
over leadership of the team. In the long run, however, most persons
who would be team-mates would become disenchanted and either reject
'
hence will probably just take
him or take over themselves. Because of this man's social versatility,
impulsiveness and freedom from conscience, he would be particularly
difficult to control. That is, it would be difficult to ascertain that he

actually did what he claimed to have done. His case officer would have
to be especially alert for double-dealing, careful to build in checks and
counterbalances, and tough and firm in handling style. Despite the
limitations noted it felt that this man is worth the risks involved.
comparison with agent candidates of the same nationality
Subject's intelligence is above aver
intellectual; he is nevertheless unusually well informed and unusually
observant of wh t is going on around hira. He is likely to be quite
pedantic, but his thinking is not rigorous. He makes decisions im-
pulsively and on analogy. He is therefore likely to appear-more
reasonable and better organized than he is in fact, and one is less likely
to be prepared for his impulsive acts of bad judgment. To summarise
the intellectual factor, he is intelligent, but he looks brighter, better
educated and more capable of good judgment than he is in fact. How-

ever, these are not intellectual limitations to his usefulness in the type
of mission considered.
Perhaps this man's strongest skill is his versatility in
playing social roles. If he so wants, he can make himself appear
acceptable to a wide variety of people. He is accustomed to getting out
of tight spots by exercising charm or "personality." At the same time.
however, he can be very temperamental when his desires are frustrated

and when he feels he is crossed. He needs a lot of sensual experience.
and his sensuality and desire for emotional experience is not too well
controlled. He especially likes new and novel experiences, which he
will go after with little attention to the probable consequences.
This man is quite dependent on social activity and social
lationships for amusement, support, and incentive. He may at times

he could not sustain such a role for long. He must participate with

to be exceptionally suspicious of all the people he works with. He is
not v
ry rea
ic in his suspiciousness, and he is inclined to exaggerate
clues and signs. With reference to the proposed mission, he is likely
to express distrust of anyone who is introduced as a partner. Like-
wise it may be assumed he will try to take over the role of leader
even though he has no particular leadership skills. This will present
problems, because in our opinion over the long haul he would make a
poor leader, for the following reasons: (a) he is not accustomed to
poor leader, for
playing any role consistently for a long period of time, (b) he is more
dependent socially than he likes to admit, (c) his judgement is not con-

the chips are down he cannot backstop his decisions with reasoned

6. It is our opinion that this man is unusually unencumbered
by conscience. When he wants something, he takes it. When
requires him to cross a friend, he does so without guilt. If he looks
ahead at consequences he does so in terms of "getting caught and
being punished" rather than losing moral stature. He certainly feels
little genuine loyalty to codes, institutions, or causes other than his

the record is more likely to be misleading than in most cases (b)he
will require a particularly firm straight forward, alert case officer
whom Subject either respects or fears. A warm, friendly relationship
here would likely result in Subject becoming exceedingly suspicious of
his case officer, in efforts to manipulate the case officer, and disruption
of relations owing to temperamental outbursts.
7. The best single characterization we can make of his
motivation for the assignment is that if his personal desires happen to
be congruent with the purposes of the mission, then his motivation
appropriate. His interests might include desire for an exciting clandestine
expereince and for social prestige, as well as for money. They certainly
do not include any abstract political or ideological motives. The important.

thing is that this man is unusually intent on satisfying his own whims
{
and caprices whenever they are set-off, which makes him more incon-
sistent than one expects and hence more difficult to control.
Conclusion:
Even more than the normal run of agent candi-
dates;
man is solely out for himself. Coupled with this characteristic.
is his social skill and his ability to get away with gratifying his own desires
respective of the feelings or interests of others. This indicates
peculiarly difficult control problems, which in our opinion require
unusually competent, alert, strict, even authoritarian case officer.
Despite the number of negative characteristics discussed in this report,
it is nevertheless our opinion that this man is still worth considering
providing he has the minimum requirements of language, access to target,
and cover. He has the requisite intelligence and very useful social skills.
1
He can get away with activities which would be disturbing or upsetting to
other people, and this would appear to be a major qualification.

Approval to contuct and assess Subject was given in reference
which also approved our proposal that Peter K. Winship accompary Newens
and the undersigned on this job in order that he would be able to carry
to Headquarters his personal impressions of Subject.
2. We arrived in Paris on 13 October where we discussed our plans
with John P. Platipodis who informed us that the Paris Station had no
objections to our proceeding as we proposed. The undersigned travelled
as Maj. Michael C. Long; Nevens and Winship travelled in true name.
3. We rented a oar in Paris and drove to Gap, arriving before
noon on 14 October. The remainder of the day was spent in familiarising
ourselves with the town and
mand 
locating the house where subject was re-
ported to live. Because none of us spoke French without a noticeable
Anglo-Saxon accent, we did not wish to visit the spartment or Subject's
brother and risk meeting the trother or sister-in-law who would easily
be able to detect that we were not men. Therefore, the under
signed drove to Voynes about 40 km. where he got an older woman
working in a small inn to put through a telephone call for us. The
woman had no idea what she was doing and was not suspicious. She
spoke with Subject's sister-in-law who said that Subject was no longer
sleeping there but was expected to visit the house at about 2100 hours.
Consequently, the undersigned returned to Gap where Winship and Nevens
were on hand to survall Subject's house. A second call to the house of
Subject's brother was put through at about 2130 hours from a different
town also about 40 km. from Cap. The man who made the call for us
learned that subject was plarning to visit Paris, and that it was not
known whether he had left.
The
4. Not wishing to risk missing Subject altogether, wo decided to
call at the apartment of Subject's brother on the morning of 15 October
after 9130 when it could be expected that the brother would have left
home for his office. The undersigned made the call, spoke with the
sister-in-law (who, we subsequently learned, took tho undersigned for
an Englishman). The conversation lasted perhaps 15 minutes.
eister-in-law gave us Subject's present address where he is not
registered and told us where he eats lunch daily. While Newens and
Winship counter-surveilled the site, the undersigned waited for
Subject outside the restaurant where he takes his meals until Subject
approached at about 1245 hours. Subject had already been alerted that
a non-native French speaking person was looking for him and recognized
the undersigned at once. In introduction was made, Subject was felicam

of the undersigned's authenticity. Subject said he was planning to
leave that night for a two day visit to Paris on tuinged. It wa
suggested that Subject, in order to save fare and no that we ghould:
have an extended opportunity to discuss "certain matters" with hin,
might prefer to drive with ca. Subject accepted this suggestion and
arrangements were made to pick him up in front of a cafe on the out-
skirts of Gap where he is temporarily lodged.
5. Subject was not by the undersigned at 2000 hours and told that
the undersigned was accompanied by two colleagues. Shortly thereafter

Subjects dropped near the house of Identity. Arrangements were
made, to meet him at 1600 hours in the vicinity of the Gare Montparnasse.
During this sessica in subject, Pro I ulogaphic information was
obtained. -After the four hour teeting, we took Subject to dinner
which gave us further opportunity to talk to him. Between our arrival
in Paris and our

meeting with Subject at 1600 hours, he had been
occupied with business affairs so that he had not slept at all, was
tired, and wanted to
to 
break up early.

spent the morning winding up his business affairs. After a quick lunch,
we took another room at the California Hotel where we talked with

any city in France up to seven days and if he had demonstrable
reasons for a longer visit, he believes arrangements could be
made. Subject believes that for about French francs 50,000 he could
acquire a French identity document bearing no restriction. This would
take time; the money would be needed for legal counsel and bribes. Wo
discussed with Subject the possibility of visiting Germany for 7 days
including travelling: time on a false German identity document. Being
an old hand at forgery, Subject was enchanted with the idea and quite
confident he would be able to pull it off. This was discussed because
we thought it might be better and more convenient to bring Subject to
Frankfurt for an LCFLUTTER examination and assessment rather than to
do this in Paris. Subject cannot get legal permission to go outside
of France.
8. Contact Arrangements:.
(a) Subject will be notified by letter that we wish to meet
him. The latter should be addressed to Identity B. The letter should
be written in German and should give (1) time and date of meeting
(the site will NOT be mentioned; (2) an English phrase must be in-
cluded at the end of the letter, e.g. "Good Luck." The signature is
immaterial. N.B.: Not less than five days and proferably seven should
be allowed from the time the letter is posted until the day Subject
is to be net.
(b) Meeting place in Paris is the Cafe Georges VI, rue
Faubourge St. Honore, Just off the rue Royal, Place de la Concordo.
(c) Alternate times for the meeting are three hours after the
original meeting time, and then two hours later, i.e. five hours after
the original meeting time.
(d). If Subject is able to come to Paris, he will:
(1) write or telegraph Identity A stating he is unable
to come. The person meeting Subject will go to this address and in-
quire about M. David; he should be told M. David was unable to come.
(2) Thereupon a telegram will be sent to Subject in Gap
in which a telephone number will be included. Sign the message Michel.

The Subject was contacted in Cap by Friganza. General familiarisation
Octor was undertaken en reite to Paris (by car) on the right of 15/25
1950. Subsequently he was not in Paris on 16 October (afternoon)
and on 17 October, the last day the Wechsler Sellevue was given alse
further 
meeting- and comications' arrangements made
Because of the time-limitation (he was unable to stay in Paris also
be had song business of his am to transact), the debriefing and assessment
had to be necessarily held to 
general terms, the main consideration given
to Subject's over
-all life-run the main stress put on the assessment for
REDSOX 
suitability.
There were no personal or security problems. From the beginning
Subject 
was willing, 
cost asger, and co-operative. He is also willing
to co-
operate in the future and would not hesitat take a long trio
in order 
to meet us again.
General Biographys
a. Pre WWII
Subject is a Georgian national. Both his parents were Georgians. Ha
was 
brought to France 
by his parents, who fled from the Soviet Union,
WWII they 
lived in Paris or surrounding areas.
Until
For one or the other reason
they moved frequently. This might have been due to the profession of his
father, who was 
a graduate mining-onginaer and who probably held an adain-
istrative 
or engineering Jeb in France,
Cuing to the above, Subject changed schools accordingly. He said that
he never 
had 
trouble in his studies because of a good matory and fast retention.
Consequently, he was usually 
bered because of frequent repetitions.
boredom and possibly to some sense of opposition, he became usually a nuisance
Qingto
to the teachers. Subject told 
us that once he had to be transferred to another
school, because 
he got into a violent argument with a teacher. His mother was
quite concerned about 
his behaviour and took him to a psychiatrist (from Sub-
ject's 
narrative it is not clear what the diagnosis was).
In his free time ho liked to perform odd jobs, such as, for example,
fixing 
bicycles or 
helping out in electrical repair jobs or installation
work. He also loved 
to invent gadgets and odd machines.
On
Undoubtedly Subject had an inclination towards technical matters.
the other hand, he had a tremendous drive to be financially independent, to
make money, and to 
get ahead in life. It also seems that he did not like
to 
be employed by a person and that he always strived for self-employment.
After graduating from school be attended several engineering collares,
At Breguet 
he 
studied electro-anginsoring. Subsequently enrolled in the

for cinematography. It is a fact that Subject had studled a lot;

Approximately in 1940, Subject listed in the Foreign Legion. Ho
was accepted in Paris and sent via Lyon Marseille-Port St. Jean to Sidi-
bel-Ables. February-August 1910 he was stationed in Tunesia (Susa).

the Legion.
In the same unit with Subject there were about 12 Georgians, a number
of Armenians, some Spaniards, and Jews. Subject knew of a so-called Coorgien
Company which subsequently was encircled by the Germans; however, he did not
belong to this company. The occupation of France in April/May 1911 endat
his military career. He was demobilized and returned to Paris.
During WI
After the discharge from the Legion Subject felt a neat destited

to
do something for his chosen holand. However, it seems that he never got
around to doing anything about this ambition. He said jokingly that mombers
of the resistence were not listed in telephone directories, and therefore
he did not know how to make contact with trem. in the other hand it appasis
that he did not try very hard and that his love for independence (personal
Independence) was greater than his wish to join any collective resistanca
activity. Thus he decided to act on his own.
He told us that at this time there was some recruitment of labour
forces in France for Garmany. He decided to enroll as labourer. He wont
to a certain office in Paris and was sent in due course to Germany. For a
while he worked in a synthetic gasoline plant in Boslitz mear Forlin. Sub-
ject said that this was the only time that he was actually steadily employed.
Because the Georgians were rather esteemed by the Germans, he had certain
freedoms. For a while he lived with a carried German woman and generally
speaking, it appears that he had a couple of other girl-friends on the side.
- For some reason or other he also worked in a munitions plant. When playing
(as he told us) with a small hand grenade, one of his fingers was crippled.
It is obscure how he obtained another job in Germany, but it is probably
a fact that he worked as a driver for the NSKK (National Socialist Party
Motorized Corps)..
It is folt that Subject actually went carly into the black marketing
racket. He told we that he had traveled extensively and had been in occupied
Poland (Lodz for example). Ha tormed thees travelo as "fun" because ho had
enough money to spend (orgo black market). It might also be possible that he
traveled in conjunction with the forced documents business he had begun.
It is not quite clear what prompted him to start forming passes into
and out of Germany. During the interview he claimed that his aim was to help
imprisoned us to pet back to Wake. Nevertheless, Although a
plausible reason (1) was mentioned that he wanted to help France), it is felt
that the ulterior motives right still have been love of excitement and wish
to make money. Technically speaking Subject must have been in decomplished
forger. He told us that his past studies at the cinematographic technic
had given hin valuable techniques to be applied to photo-eachanical forging
of documents, stamps) and cachota.
It is falt that he must have had accomplices. Nevertheless, hn claima
that he did not worth the French Froistance, although it might be possible

Be it as it may, Subject was arrested on the railroad station which had
been

for this operation. He was
apprahsed 
in the presence of the girl. He had a pistol with him which
complicated matters slightly.

He mentioned that his interrogator or interrogators

to 
consult on document forgeries; i.e.

because his forgeries 
were so well made that it was hard to tell the fake
ron the 
real stuff. Nevertheless, he endeavoured to oblige and pointed out
some 
documents of 
doubtful genuineness.
Later he was brought before court (it is not clear whether actually or
in absentia
) and 
given a defence lawyer. It is not clear whether he was
sentenced to death, however, it might be understood from his inferences.
Subject was moved from jail to jail and from concentration camp to
concentration camp. He told us that some of the time he spent in solitary
and some 
of the time in communal cells. Occasionally he was manacled hand
and foot. Towards 
the end of the war he knew that executions were carried
out

Brief Biography
Subject is a 40-year-old Georgian emigro living in Gap, Hautes
Alpes, France. Together with his parents, brother and sitter he moved
from the disintegrat.ng Georgian Republic in 1921 to France where he
has lived ever since, except for about three years during World War
II when he worked voluntarily in Germany as a scal-skilled laborer.
Ho joined the French Foreign Legion in 1940 and was demobilized in
1941, having served for the most part in North Africa. While in
Germany he developed a skill at forging documents which he used to
holp French officers to escape to France. He was arrested, convicted
and jailed for about a year and a half. After the war he returned to
Paris. In 1946 and 1947 Subject committed two armed robberies.

1958, having been assessed and prepared for the contact by AEPADDLE, an
old friend of Subject's, in February 1958. Shortly after the first

was debriefed and a preliminary assessment, including a Wechsler-
Bellevue psychological test, was made. There was no difficulty in
authenticating ourselves with subject and in the course of our con-
versations, we got no indication that Subject did not answer the
questions put to him in a frank and open manner. If anything, Subject

-not easily debriefed or interrogated because he is glib and seems quite
naturally to answer specific questions in a general way. Noteworthy
and indicative is the fact that the only birth date subject knew was
his own; he did not know his parents', his wife's or even his brother's.
This is not suspicious or unique, but it indicates that it is difficult
to pin him down to hard facts. When dealing with unpleasantnesces or
touchy matters, Subject is apt to philosophize as he did when he was
asked questions about the current relationship of his brother and his
new wife. Rather than give opinions on facts about the girl, he noted
that marriage is sixty percent love and forty percent county, which is .

DISPATCH
Subject claims to speak Georgian with native fluency. He m
speak it well but we venture that it is not the same language burrently
being spoken in Georgia, this probably being so if because he has
never been to Georgia. Thoro is no indication he uses the language
much, if at all. He speaks, reads and writes French with nativa
fluency. Actually, French is his native language; at lease he cal-
culates in French. He speaks and reada German well and is capable of
expressing himself quite fully in it. Ho understands English and can
say simple things in it. Subject says he is able to understand and
speak Spanish well enough to get along.
Culturally Subject is French. His mannerisms are French, as aré
his habits. If there is anything particularly Georgian about Subject,
it is not noticeable. We would guess that subject was brought up in
not too well-to-do middle class circumstances but under the influenos
of his parents who had had a much better, possibly even prosperous,
past.
Character and personality: It is safe to describe Subject
independent and as a man who instinctively prefers to take his chances
relying on his own abilities and resources in order to avoid
promising his independence by assuming commitments. He is a long wolf
type. We guess that Subject behaves this way partly because he has an
exaggerated notion of his competence, and partly because he is im
patient with delay and with people who are less quick or able than hê.
Even though Subject needs people and likes company, he does not want
to have his affairs, particularly his business affairs, dependent on
others. There are several points which support this: By his om
adalssion (which, incidentally, may be quite misleading because he may
have quite incorrect opinion of himself) subject as a student was ob
streperous, impatient, and consistently so. As a voluntary worker in
Germany when he seems to have struck out on his own is further evidence.
Now, rather than taking a steady job of some kind which suits his
abilities, Subject is once again striking out on his own, although his
record as a convict mitigates this because he has no choice. One of
the reasons why Subject does this is that he has an insatiable desire
to strike it rich or at least to achieve success and stature. This
"desire to attain something may be related to the comparison he must
be forced to make between his record and that of his brother: His has
been unruly, irregular, troublesome, and he has attained very little;
his brother became an officer in the French any (even though he was
foreign born) and is now a so-so successful architect. Also, we sus-
pect that we have not yet gotten the full story on Subject's marriage
and divorce. Perhaps Subject married unwisely, lost face with his
family, and/or was considered a low type mate by his wife's family even
before he was arrested.
One of the underlying reasons why Subject is so independent
is that he is impatient. In conversation we noticed that he did not
wait for questions we wished to put to him to be fully formed. He
tends to interrupt in order to supply usually interesting and sometimes
even pertinent information. He seems unable to bide his time. He
doubt that Subject has any definable moral or other standards.
In any
given instance he either rationalizes the facts. in order to reach a
conclusion which appealed to him to begin with, or he simply overlooks
the certain significant issue. Still, Subject is not amorel or a
criminal type. We believe he knows right and wrong, sometimes con-
siders whether any given act would be right or wrong and/or decont.
His trouble is that not having any firm base point leads him into
moral contradictions which he can't solve and frequently is unaware of
because he doesn't really care. We doubt that Subject's morals con-
cerning drink, women, gasbling and the other vices differ greatly at
most from the average person of approximately the same background. To
repeat, it is not that Subject has no standards his are just different
and peculiarly his own).
SECRET
14-00000
We believe that Subject is sentimental but is ashamed of being
so; he makes a joke of it. He wants to be liked by people and realizes
that most people find him interesting, entertaining and attractive.
We think that Subject unconsciously gives an important place to
comradeship. He can influence poople and be influenced by them. Ho
is mature about such things but still we think he would stick by a
friend in trouble, perhaps to the point of foolishness. Because
Subject has the winning personality he does, he has never been obliged
to retain friends and/or acquaintances because he blows he will al-
ways be able to find new ones. Interestingly enough Subject more than
once distinguished between a friend and an acquaintance, and in so many
words stated that he has had very few friends as such.
Subject dexonstrated that he is able to reason and to do so
very well. ile saw the solution of logical and algebraic problems he
was given remarkably quickly. While attempting to solve these problems,
Subject reasoned well enough but showed that his memory is perhaps not
as good. Subject know his own date of birth and hardly any other; of
course, he had no interest in the others.
Subject is perceptive and is able to combine his perception
with his ability to reason. He made several remarks which indicated
that he saw through the behaviour of certain personalities, political
discussed.
questions, etc., which were
Subject is observant but we
did not have sufficient time with him to know whether his powers of
observation an
are 
excellent or simply above average.
Subject has a winning personality and is quite capable in
dealing with people. He listens well, talks rapidly and at length
without attempting to monopolize the conversation. He is quite will-
ing to climb out on a conversational limb, listen when he hears someens
else speak up who is apparently better inforried, and asks questions
if his interest has been aroused. We would guess that Subject would
be particularly well suited to dealing with the public. He nicely
combines pseudo-attentiveness and Gallic charm.
We doubt that Subject has much resolve and almost certainly
would not stick to a boring, difficult job for very long. We doubt
he would simply quit in a huff; he would far prefer to rationalize and,
if necessary, to manufacture excuses for release. Connected with this
is the possible character weakness in Subject concerning his reliability
to fulfill any given set task. We doubt that he would overalesp or
get drunk but if he personally did not understand and appreciate the
Importance of the job, he would be inclined to let it slide or ignore
it. An excellent point in Subject's favor is that he could not be
brow beaten or easily dominated. For instance, we doubt that even the
threat of physical torture would force Subject to tell something he
did not wish to say. To preclude any such crisis, Subject would be
glib, second guess his interrogators, invent facts or at least re-
arrange them to suit whatever purpose he might have in mind. Subject
could probably be dominated by a man of superior intelligence (at
least considerably superior to his) who spoke native French and was
sufficiently informed about Subject's background so that he could
catch out Subject in any one of his evasions.
Subject is a materialist because he has the idea that material
success is necessarily the passport to respectability, social success,
happiness and a host of other such abstract Imponderables. Not that
Subject is too unhappy or emotionally ambalanced at the present time;
to enjoys the very carefree life he leads. We think that because
Subject has this desire for material gain and hence respectability,
the promise of a sizeable financial reward would by itself be sufficient
to win his loyalty and wholehearted cooperation. This is not to say
that the anti-Communist struggle for good and against evil means.
nothing to him. It does, of course, and he might undertake dangerous
work for the love of adventure, but he would do so with a great deal
more verve and conviction if he were sure of the pot of gold at the
- end of the road.

5. Resourcefulness and Adaptability: We believe Subject is
extremely resourceful and would be so in nearly any circumstance. Ho
is glib-and he can talk. We doubt be is a slave to preconceptions.
Because his coral standards are neither well defined and are clastic,
his reasoning and behaviour is not constricted by them. He is a pres

appraisal of his own position, possibilities for the future, his past,
etc., were disarmingly accurate and candid. However, Subject is 40
years old and we doubt that he could be made to change his ways, at
least not for very long. We think he would work hard at learning any
new job just so long as he found it interesting, adventurous, and/or
materially rewarding. He has turned his hand to a lot of things and
18, experienced at being obliged to experiment and adapt himself to new
situations in
order to avoid trouble, discomfort, and work.
6. Willingness and motivation: Concerning a REDSOX mission and/or
repatriation mission under our direction, we think Subject is sincere
and correct in claiming he is a willing candidate. We doubt that he
would attempt to beg off at the
the 
last moment. He is no physical coward.
However, Subject is willing for REDSOX because in it he sees a way out
of the bind he is now in. He can't leave France because there is nowhere
to go. Because ho has a criminal record he is unable to build a future
for himself in France, and he is unable to travel in order to look for
possibilities. He has been exiled to a hick town where he is paroled
to his brother who is to some extent responsible for his good behaviou
So basically Subject is willing because it is a way out. There is
element of adventure in his willingness but any adventurous ideas would
immediately evaporate if Subject wore a French citizen and had a
financially successful business. Subject is anti-Communist, etc., we
feel quite certain, but he is either too jaded, or too mature, ot too
cynical to permit such notions to play much of a role. If he were given
the idea that KUBARK demands fiery anti-Communist motivation, Subject
would do his best to convince us that that is what he is. Subject in
so many words said that one of his prime desires was to get out of
Prance, , and as a first choice to go to the United States. The promise
of American citizenship would weigh in heavily as a factor in Subject's
willingness to undertake almost any REDSOX mission regardless of the
danger. In a word, Subject's motivation is material.
7. Handling of Subject: The handling of Subject from this point
on must be ruthless and calculated. We think that Subject would be
neither shocked nor offended by such handling; as a matter of fact he
probably expects it. We would recommend against paying subject more
than the absolute minimum he needs to survive until the mission had
been completed. If Subject is removed from France, some neens must
be found to convince Subject that we can dispose of him to an area or
a place at least an disadvantageous to Subject as his present cae is.
In other words, don't give Subject the carrot until he has done the job.
Subject would not necessarily need to be trained in French as this is
the only language in which he is perfectly fluent. Even though his
Georgian is very good, it is not current and he could be used only on
a black mission. He appears to be physically rugged and in good con-
ditich. Very arduous and exacting training would be salutary.
We do not think that subject would be an awkward disposal
problem if he wore transferred to AEACRE for training and his mission
were subsequently cancelled. Given some money and a job, he could be
resettled in any South American country without difficulty.
8.
Recomendation:
(a) We hope there is sufficient information on Subject now
recorded on which Headquarters will be able to decide if Subject is of
interest for REDSOX or not. If he is, he should be further debriefed
and interrogated and given the LCFLUTTER test. The LCFLUTTER test could
be given in Paris or Frankfurt.

If it is given in Paris there will be a less favorable climate,
some risk will be taken wit, we might have difficulties with the French,
and we might face several operational problems in getting a secure
house, e etc.
If the test is given in Frankfurt, Subject would necessarily
need to travel here on a phoney German Reisenuswels (which we consider
he could use properly from the language point of view). The principal
risk in bringing Subject to Prankfurt is that Subject might have an
accident or be might manufacture some reason not to return. In either
case we might have an awkward disposal problem on our hands and wa
might be barrassed vis-a-vis the Germans.
He would prefer to bring Subject to Prankfurt because we
lieve that Subject is bona fide and would be unlikely to double cross
(b) We wish to emphasize that this is a preliminary assess
ment and recommendation. With that caveat we would recommend Subject
for a f
fully black REDSOX mission which requires: (1) able bodiness,
(2) superior intelligence (considering
the
calibre of person who is
likely to be willing) and reasoning power, (3) willingness to under
take an extremely hazardous mission, (4) no native Russian fluency
(5) basic technical, mechanical, and pseudo-scientific abilities.
We would hesitate at this point to recommend Subject for a repatriation
mission even though he is willing because we question whether Subject:
has the resolve or patience for such a task.

Pursuant to Reference C, the Station requested UEAVE traces on the Sub-
ject of Reference A. The resulting report has been translated and 
is attached hero-
The Station concurs with the suggestion that the REDSOX section of FOB
undertake the recruitment and processing of the Subject. For 
reasons that need 
not
be discussed in detail in this dispatch, the undersigned 
has become extensively
known in the Georgian colony in true name, and plans 
to continue spotting and 
assessing
Georgian candidates for other SR activities in France. The 
Georgian colony in France
is small and the Station already has ample evidence that news 
of intelligence activity
within the colony often becomes common knowledge very 
quickly. Therefore, it is
best to risk an unknown outside asset for something so 
unequivocally compromising 
as
a REDSOX recruitment.

9997
TZITZICHVILI was born on 20 December 1919 at Tiflis in Georgia (USSR) of
Simon and Farie KA TCHELI. He is also recorded as being born on 12 July: 1918.
1948 he married Rense PARROT; they had two children and lived at 28 rue Cabanis in
Paris. He later divorced her.
1ZTZICHTILI earned the first part of his baccalauréat, then entered the
Foreign Legion at the beginning of World War II.
committed on 20
was identified on 8 July 1950 as a participant in an armed bank robbery
on 
26 June 
1949 in Paris. He was hunted throughout France; particularly
in the area around Gap where his brother lives; and was finally arrested in Cergère
on 11 July 
1950, after abandonning an automobile that he had stolen at Sena (Yonne)
while attempting to enter Spain illegally by way of the Pyrenees. 55,000 francs
were 
found on his person, he confessed to the crime and told where he had hidden
540,000 francs (the remainder of his share of the hold-up) On 5 January 1953 he
was condemned 
by the Cour d'Assises de la Seine to seven years of hard labor for
the 
premeditated theft of 1,989,000 francs. Taking into consideration the time he
served while waiting to be tried and his good behavior, he was released on: 19 Dec-
erber 1955.
4. The measure to deport T2ITZICHVILI because of arrest, passed on 12 Febru-
ary 1954
, was 
modified on 14 February 1956 to limit him to residence in the Hautes.
Alpes 
department, where his brother Achille PARASKIET (formerly TZITZICHTLI) now
lives.
5. T2ITZICHILI had planned on immigrating to Peru upon his release from
prison
, 
but he was refused an entrance visa to that country. He had an Italian
friend 
in Liza named LA FRANCO RANGONI, who lives at Avenuo Taena, Bureau 92 and
is an official of 
the Peruvian Chemical Industry.
6. TRITZICHVILI had a rather storry youth. He arrived in France in 1921 with
his parents. In October 1936 he was conderned to imprisonment until the age of
adulthood by the Tribunal pour 
Enfants de la Seine for theft. However, after a few
weeks he 
was placed in his mother's custody. After that he fought in the war until
12 October 19 when 
he was discharged. In 1913 he wont to Germany as a voluntary
worker and returned to

is time to remove a candidate for training, which calls for a smooth

to legal missions. The last time he was wounded in
the lower right leg, and was helped by a companion. He did not
service the customary dead drop the last time because of his leg.
The method of crossing involved use of uniforms of Turkish army
officers, and the assistance of another Geɔrgian and twɔ Turks.
At night they changed to civilian clothes and crossed over.
BERESHVILI says there are organised Georgian groups willing tɔ
fight the Russians.
Since 1953 BERESHVILI has been contacted two or three
times by the Americans, but nothing has come of this, and he
feals the Americans are not following up properly. He said the
latest attempt involved a letter written to him in Russian, giving
him a telephone number to call. Before calling it he tried to
trace the number through connections of his wife's. He feels that
contact with Georgia is important if the emigration organizations
are to be representative of the feelinge in the homeland.

c. Nearly everyone received the Georgian lang sago
paper of the Mikhailov Committee in Berlin.

2. GABACHVILI, PATARIDZE and ZURABICHVILI all expressed
interest in American support for their group. They stated that
the support given to their group as a whole by Polish intelligence
before WW II largely contributed toward the readiness of large
numbers of Caucasians to fight against the USSR during the war.
PATARIDZE said he would like to be sent to Turkey to organize
contacts with Georgia. Says he can get necessary papers for
trip to Turkey, and has man in mind for such mission (apparently
DJAPADZE). PATARIDZE says this operation would cost no
more than one million French francs.
