(S) On 22 Aug 76, SRF/Tehran requested an urgent meeting with the Case Officer %co). the purpose of which was to reemphasize SRF's interest in AFOSI developing a controlled social relationship operation, utilizing SUBJECT, to obtain specific information regarding ANATOLIY SAZANOV, Third Secretary, Soviet Consulate, Tehran. SRF furnished the following information they have developed to date, regarding SAZANOV, which they feel must be verified and possibly exploited for subsequent defection considerations: SAZANOV is probably KGB and this is his first foreign assign- ment. It is believed that his current position is the First Chief Overseas Directorate in Tehran. For the past six months to one year, SAZANOV has definitely been somewhat troubled/bothered and discontent. He has not been very successful in Tehran, and to SRF*s knowledge he has had only 16 contacts with individuals of other than Communist bloc countries. He has apparently “dried up". He is sloppy, disor~-nized, and he lacks aggressiveness. He frequently breahs t' 3e appointments he does accept, or he is quite late if he does shi« up. He has had a number of autemodile accidents while in Tehran. He probably drinks heavily, and he has been observed drunk in public at ieast twice. SAZANOV is obviously not satisfied with either life or his working conditions in Tehran. Although he does not particularly dislike “going abroad," he definitely wants to leave Tehran. In this regard, he has written correspondence to a former superior with Intourist in Minsk, USSR; he has petitioned the USSR Ambassador to Tehran; and he has even directed correspondence to Foreign Minister GROMYKO, all in an attempt to be relieved from his current assignment.

SRF docs net believe that SAZANOV is experiencing any grave family or inarital problems, although SAZANOV reportedly left an 11 year old son in the USSR. They feel the marriage is basically Stable, even though the wife's churacteristics would tend to reveal otherwise, SAZANOV's wife, NATASHA, is described a: very flashy, gook looking. juicy, saucy, flirtatious, humorous, and in good command of 1+ English language... She has, however, never been known to scck . .side male companionship. SAZANOV and his wife becaine acagain ted while SAZANOV was assigned in Doshambe, Tajikistan, USSR. Their relationship developed as a result of BATASHA, who was a teacher of the English language, giving English lessons to SAZANOV. SAZANOV recently spent nearly all of his foreign exchange certificates for the purchase of a new Yolga automebile to be delivered in the USSR. ‘AZANOV reportedly did this without his wife's full knowledge; he expected some trouble with his wife as a result, and ne reportedly did receive some trouble from her, which subsequently "blew over”. Not withstanding the above, of greater importance is the following: SAZANOV has confided to several individuals that he is suffering from a radiological poisoning; that he has a blood disease affecting his liver; and that he fully expects to die a young man. He has mentioned previously being assigned in Doshambe, Tajikistan, "where the very gruund he walked on seeped with radiation". Although it has been suggested to SAZANOV that he enter a hospital for his ailments, SAZANOV reportedly will not allow himself to be hospital- ized because he does not trust Soviet doctors or their hospital facilities. He is believed to be a hypochondriac in this regard, yet refuses Soviet medical advice. 2. (S) SRF advised they have attempted to interpret all of the above into meaningful thought. In view of the fact that SAZANOV is reportedly departing on home leave during Nov 76, and will not return until Jan 77, they feel the time is ripe to attempt to verify and/or explore SAZANOV"'s physical/mental condition prior to his departure, for obvious reasons. SRF believes that SUBJECT is or could be a key individual to accomplish what they desire. SRF has offered to be present during, and/or provide, initial in-depth briefing to SUBJECT rega.ding SAZANOV'’s problems, wholly dependent upon the views of AFOSI. SRF readily noted that they would in no way, however, attempt to prempt AFOSI control of SUBJECT. 3. (S) SRF has offered any assistance necessary, and they suggest that since SUBJECT is already acquainted with SAZANOV, it would not be unusual for SUBJECT to approach SAZANOV at any social gathering to initiate conversation. _— SECRET 48

:4D227-582 wile i OPERATIONAL PLANNING (cont. ) &, (S) To facilitate continued acquisition of timely personality data on SUBJECT and also provide for a means of impersonal comm- unieation, where necessary, it is planned, with AFOSI/IVOE approval, to wittingly utiiize the CO's wife in this operation. The CO's wife is employed at SUBJECT's facility in a position affording daily access to all areas of the facility and personal contact with staff personnel, including SUBJECT. Specifically, she is ‘a secretary in the Patient Administration Division. Recent comments, and observations concerning SUBJECT, favorable and unfavorable, pertaining to his personality and his relationships with the staff that have been made ‘o and or noted by the CO's wife indicate a potential wealth of formation is available which will materially assist in further .. ussing SUBJECT. In essence, limited source coverage will be provided. Also, the utilization of the CO's wife aS a cut-out can be done in the course of her normal duties. (NOTE: Additional impersonal communications methods, personal meet and security procedures are being evaluated for use in this operation. Special mention of this is-mede in our operations planning as the enviornment here preseit.. unusual asset handling security challanges). To secur@by use the CO's wife in the operation, it will be necessary to provide her a limited briefing and, if appropriate, have her execute a Security Pledge. Specifically, she would be told only thats "SUBJECT is assisting AFOSI in a sensitive counter- intelligence project. To preclude disclosure of AFOSI's interest in SUBJECT to the general public due to over-exposure of the CO at the facility, she will, from time-to-time, be requested to convey messages and personally hand carry sealed envelopes between SUBJECT and the CO. Further, it is necessary for the CO to be aware of any information, favorable or unfavorable, concerning SUBJECT's associations/ relationships with his staff and/or other persons with whom SUBJECT has contact due to his position, which she can monitor during the course of her daily duties." It is believed that utilization of the CO's wife in the dual role of cut-out and source will also provide opportunities for oper- ational testing of SUBJECT in an inconspicious manner. It is stressed that this course of action is not to be considered the “primary" or “only” means of {mpersonal communication. SECKET SEVEN DOORS 55

Used in conjunction with PM's at varied local restaurants and possible iceting sites at the local contract hotel facility, it is believed adequate operational security will be afforded. Use of commercial hotel facilities, since these require passports for registration, and moving vehicular meets, due to the enormous traffic problems, pose special problems here in Tehran. -3- SECRET .

(S) There is no reason, per se, why Subject's spouse could not be used as a witting asset in this operation. The SUSSEL operation (HQD227+458) was run at your loca- tion with a husband and wife team, and worked extremely well. Two things should be taken into consideration before the final decision is made to mace her a witting asset. First, whether or not you consider her capable of playing the role must be decided. In other words, what is your assessment of her capability en security consclousness? Second, you should attempt to ascertain in an indirect way, what GIEL's opinion would be of his wife's participation. Since GIEL has not as yet developed a one-on-one relationship with any hostiles, there should be sufficient time to assess his spouse and determine her capabilities, and at the same time feel out Subject on his opinion about his wife's participation. In the mean- time, you can continue to debrief her IAW AFR 205-57 on a case by case basis. At such time you determine GIEL's wife can be recruited, please notify this HQ, 2.(SMse of the CO's wife as a witting source would be an unnecessary . sclosure of AFOSI operational interest. Information on . igL is evidently being obtained through informal conversations. To date, there have been no indications of suspicious or abnormal behavior by GIEL which would affect the operation, and which would require extensive inquiry by a witting source. Therefore, there does net appear to be anything co be gained by making the CO's wife witting.

RC @14 TIYLE: LARRY GIEL (U) DETAILS: (COORDINATION) (S) On 14 Dec 76, this operation was coordinated with CRF/Tehran by the Case Officer (CO) and SA CURTIS S. MORRIS, JR for the purpose of planning SUBJECT's future operational activity with regard to SAZANOV and other target personalities. WALOIMiR SKOTZXO, SRF representative, adviscd le was very appreciative of GIEL's operational efforts. In addition, he believed that GIEL's activities in consonance with several other SRF access agents have been very useful in getting a better picture of SAZANOV. In view of SAZANOV's failing to make the 14 Nov 76 dinner engagement with GIEL and a 16 Nov 76 contact with an SRF operative, SKOTZKO stated that this may have been precipitated by actions of a SRF operative, the TOY of SAZANOV or in fact by SAZANOV's apparently normal practice of forgetfulness and poor personal organization. The latter two reasons are most likely responsible for the "no show". In the recent past, other persons in contact with SAZANOV who were building a close relationship found themselves periodically and abruptly cut off. "Steading-up" the other party was nofuncommon. SKOTZKO advised chat an SRF operative met SAZANOV on 11 Nov 76 and told him that he was dif‘erent from the other Soviets in Tehran. Specifically SAZANOV seemed to be sensitive, a private ran, but more approachable. Also, that the SRF cperative valued SAZANOV's friendship. This general theme was pushed throughout their meeting with the intent of making SAZANOV realize he was different. Ostensibly, this tact coupled with SAZANOV's contacts with GIEL might promote closer relationships. Ideally, this could be a positive factor to influence SAZANOV to accept a “pitch if it were ever decided to offer one in the future. (There are no plans to do so at this time and AFOSI will be sdvised if such an action is contemplated). The "I am different tact" could also put SAZANOV in an awkward position. 1£ SAZANOV told anyone else in the Soviet Community in Tehran he would then be identified as a "weak sister", i.e. a potential security risk and would be prevented from contacts with foreigners.

egul27-5$2 In short, his effectiveness, stature and reputation as a “loyal comrade" would be irseperrably damaged. Because of SAZANOV's intelligence it was a vertual resote possibility that he would tell anyone about the "1 am different" theme. Understandably, he would realize the personal hardship of being identified as a security risk. Subsequent to telling SAZANOV of this on 11 Nov 76, he then failed to wake CIEL's dinner party on the 14th and one with the SRF operative on the l6éth. For all practical purposes, SAZANOV seemed to drop contact with neabers of the official diplomatic circuit, llowever, as the result of discreet brguiries made by GIEL and SRF it was determined that SAZANOV had apparently been on a trip. It was learned that SAZANQV attended a large reception (approximately 760 guests) at the United Arab Emirates Enbassy, Tehran on 12 Dec 76, during which he was engaged in a brief conversation with an SRF representative. SAGANOY stated he had been on « trip to [sfuhan, Iran and had been busy preparing for his home leave. SAZANOV also stated his departure for home leave lag been delayed until 23 Dee 76 duc to the number of end-of-year reports requiring completion prior to his departure. While he was cordial, SAGANGV appeared more reserved than ususla and was evasive in his answers as to his activities during recent weeks. As SAZANOV had indicated he would take avout six weeks leave, SRF/Tehran did not really expect him to return to Tehran until the lust week in February or the first week in March, 1977, Further, becuuse SAZANOV was at the reception and had been TDY plus working on reports, it is doubtful he told anyone about the "I am different" theme, It was mutually agreed SUBJECT should not make any further initiatives to contact SAZANQV even arter he returns from home icave but that SUBJECT should remain receptive to contucts by SAZANOV, if they occur, SUNJECT should attempt to re-establish a ba.is for continued contacts. SRF expressed interest in SUBJECT's contacts with HYABAVALOV, whom they suspect muy be affiliated with the GRU. It was agreed to have SUBJECT attempt to re-establish contact with him as well as re-establish and pursue eontacts with DOVBNIA, DISTRIBUTION: HQ AFOSI/IVOE - 1; Disteict 72 - 1 APPROVED tod . .

It was explained and SUBJECT acknowledged understanding that only those expenses incurred at AFOSI's direction would be paid for end that SUBJECT would be required to keep an accurate accounting of his expenditures. With regard to the cocktail party on 28 Sep 76, the CO offered to reimburse SUBJECT for expenses he incurred as he had assisted the operation by ex! ding invitations to the target personalities which had established aft 5 for additfonal contacts and provided a imeans to further develop his .vlationships with the targets. SUBJECT indicated he was not concerned about reimbursement, saying he “did not desire to fill out a bunch of paperwork just for a few dollars". The CO explained the probability of SUBJECT having more and more social functions in the future, all of which, over a period of time, would add up significantly. It was suggested that SUBJECT be reimbursed e.ch time an expenditure is made to preclude having to research and coupi:e all this data at some time in the future. SUBJECT said he would “sleep on it", explaining he had no way of knowing for sure how much the party had cost him. The CO told SUBJECT to compile a list of expenses as accurately as possible and the matter would be further addressed at a future meeting, tc which SUBJECT agreed.

Specific reference to GIEL's efforts to contact ANATOLIY SAZANOV were mentioned. “KP was informed that GIEL had not reestablished contact with ZAZANOVY to date, although attempts had been made. A meeting between the CO and CIEL regarding the situation was scheduled. SRF then advised that a representative of their office has been and was curvently enjoying weekly - semimonthly association with SAZANOV. To their dismay, however, recent attempts to establish personal contact had also been unsuccessful. As a result of telephonic contact with the Soviet Consulate, Tehran, (SAZANOV's office telephone number) during the past week, the SRF represen- tative learned that SAZANOV had not been available for duty dus to hospitalization for an undisclosed illness. 2. (S) On 28 Oct 76, the representative of SRF/TEHRAN referred to above, advised the ACO that he had reestablished contact with SAZANOV. SAZANOV explained that he had just been released from the Soviet hospital after a week to 10 days of recuperation following a miid heart attack. The SRF representative advised he had invited SAZANOV and his wife to accompany him to a sporting event on 29 Oct 76, during which time he would attempt to determine the specifics of SAZANOV's recent illness. .

It was explained that SUBJECT present the set to Or. ANATOLIY RAMKOV, Deputy Director, Soviet Hospital, Tehran at a time the latter visits SUBJECT at his homie. SUBJECT was told the set whould be stored ina manner appropriate to a “second hand item.” Further, SUBJECT was told tnat at the time the set is given to Or. RAMKOV, SUBJECT should relate essentially the following, in explaining his acquisition of the set: At the time of SUBJECT’s arrival in Tehran he and his family spent about three months in a jocal hotel until their residence was ready. During this time he purchased the television as a convienence for his children since it provided them some entertainment which was not available at the hotel. After moving into his residence and receiving his household furnishings, including four television sets he hed previously purchased in the United States, this set just got put away and has not been used. SUBJECT was also instructed to accept any nominal payment offered by Or. RAMKOV in the event such were offered. In the event Or. RAMKOV exhi#ited a reluctance to accepting the set as an outright gift, SUBJECT was toid he may suggest a nominal price and stress to Dr. RAMKOV that the set is really of no use and it is just “taking up space." At the conclusion of the meeting SUBJECT executed a true name receipt, for the set, which is being retained by the Case Officer for future reference. A copy of this receipt has been forwarded to HQ AFOSI/IVOE under separate cover. (see Dist 72 messages 1313002 Feb 77, 0713012 Mar 77). QISTPIBUTION: HG AFOSI/IVOE - 4: Dist 72 - 1.

HAMMETT JR DATE: 13 February 1978 REFERENCE: AR (MWA), 12 Feb 78 TITLE: LARRY GIEL (U) OETAILS: (COORDINATION) (S) On 12 Feb 78, this operation was coordinated with FRANK JOHNSON, Chief, Sperations Division, SRF/Tehran. JOHNSON advised that SRF/Tehran views recent developments in this operation as being highly significant, in view of the obvious high tevel levies for information that ANATOLT RANKOV appears to be placing on SUBJECT, SRF/Tehran feels that there fs no doubt that RAMKOV is an intelligence cooptee probably for the GRU, but they have not ruled out the possibility that he could be working for the KGB. SRF/Tehran believes there are also other aspects of the way RAMKOV conducts himself that give raise to the possibility that he would be vulnerable t~ a possible recruit- ment approach for in place defection (IPD) but the entire operation would have to be given much more evaluation before any firm decision could be made in this regard. SRF/Tehran is of the opinion that if SUBJECT responds to these recent levies (or any future levies), it is possible the STS may view SUBJECT as an excellent target for espionage recruitment, This would obviously negate any immediate hopes of a possible IPD regarding RAMKOV. SRF/Tehran therefore suggested SUBJECT remain "cool and aloof" to future contacts by RAMKOY with regard to levies for such things as anti-metabolite drugs until additional evaluation can be made, At the present time, SRF/Tehran would like to explore the possibility of introducing either a German or Russian speaking individual into the operation, through SUBJECT, in order that contact with RAMKGV could be preserved if SUBJECT leaves Iran in Jun 78 as scheduled. JOHNSON was advised that before we could proceed any further with a change in direction that this operation is taking, the entire matter would have to be coordinated with HQ AFOSI to secure necessary approval to redirect SUBJECT's role from that of "a window and door" and kis collection of biugraphic and personality assessment data on opposition personalities.

SKOTZKO vas provided a short brief- ing on the latest developments. 1t was pointed out that SUBJECT had been authorized to pass certain kinds of low-level, unclassified medica] papers/ reports in response to RAMKOV's levies. Also, that RAMKOV's fairly recent request for written medical material seems to parallel an increase in Soviet requests for medical information at various leading USAF medical centers in Texas. This may suggest a new Soviet emphasis on medical collections, as well as, the fact RAMKOV aay be more than just a doctor. SkOTZKO agreed with this plus the fact that RAMKOV is filling a position formerly held by a GRU renber. 2. (8S) SKOTZKO advised that SAVAK, the Iranian Kational Intelligence Avency, bad provided SRF a sturt memo, cated 16 May 77, which was only recently received. The memo stated that SUBJECT was associating with RAMROV and had talked to him on the telephone. Further, the matter should be investigated. Upon receipt of the memo, the SRF Ops Chief, WILLLAM eAKNELL, as previously agreed in such matters, told SAVAK that U.S. officials were aware of the situation and that SUBJECT had reported the matter to U.S. military authorities from the outset. This satisfied SAVAK and no additional probing by the host services is expected. Security of this operation does not appear to have been endangered. The memo seems to also confirm the fect SAVAK has a telephone tap ostensibly at the Soviet Hospital, Tehran, plus periodic physical surveillance of RAMKOV. SKOTZKO related SRF will advise AFOSI immediately if they receive any further inquiries from SAVAK cor other host services regarding this operation. (C) On 13 3ui 77, this operation was coordinated with MGen KENNETH P. “ILES, Chief, ARMISH-MAAG, Tehran, Iran, by SAS HUEY and HORRIS.

HAMMETT, JR, DATE: 5 March 1978 TITLE: LARRY GIEL (uU) DETAILS: (COORDINATION) (S} On 26 Feb 78, recent details of this operation were coordinated with FRANK JOHNSON, Chief, Operations Division, SRF/Tehran. JONNSON was advised that HQ AFOSI concurred to the utiifzation of SUBJECT for the purpose of introducing an SRF Case Officer to Dr ANATOLI RAMKOV in an attempt to effect an in-place defection on the part of RAMKOV. JOHNSON advised that a cable had already beén sent to Hq SRP, outlining the proposed plan and requesting an SRP Case Officer fluent in the German language to be sent to Tehran to assist in the defection approach, JOHNSON further advised that the final scenario had not been worked out, but it would be in the near future and AFOSI would be kept apprised. JOHNSON was of the opinion that the approach to RAMKOV should be made prfor to 22 Mar 78, the reported date of departure from Iran on the part of RAMKOV's supervisor, Dr PETR ASHURKO, Fssentially, SRF feels that the mere presence of ASIIURKO in a supervisory position over RAMKOV creates a definite psychological advantage in favor of the defection approach, based on RAMKOV'e {ntense dislike for ASHURKO; hence, the approach prior to 22 Mar 78 is favored. JOHNSON agreed to further discuss SRF rationale regarding the contemplated in-place defection approach on 1 Mar 78, in the company of the Aaststant Chief of Station, SRF, and DO 72 supervisory staff, At the conclusion of the above discussion, JOHNSON noted that certain information has come to the attention of SRF, which they felt constituted 4 breach of security on the part of. SUBTECT. JOHNSON then identified Mr FRED JENNY, a Swiss Embassy officer, who was also in contact with RAMKOV and who was providing SRF/fehran additional insight into the personality assess- ment of RAMKOV. JCHNSON explained that the securfty breach consisted of SUBJECT approaching JENNY on the evening of 27 Feb 78, and verbally inferring to JENNY that SUBJECT was aware that JENNY and RAMKOV had been seeing each other. JCHNSON remarked that the harm done was not’ insurmountable, however, he feared that any additional breach of security on the part of SUBJECT could very well abort attempts to effect an in-place defection with RAMKOV.

SUBJECT advised that he and Mrs GIEL attended a photographic exhibition at the Swiss Embassy, Tehran, from approximately 1930 to 2030. While at the exhibition, SUBJECT spoke with several officers of the Swiss Embassy, to include Mr FRED JENNY. At one potnt In his conversation with JENNY, SUBJECT commented that he had run into a friend of JcNNY'’s. JENNY asked SUBJECT who he was referring to and SUBJECT replied Dr ANATOLI RAMKOV. With the mention of RAMKOV's name, JENNY became visably upset but remained composed for the most part and replied that he did tn fact know RAMKOV and they had visited on one or two occasions. After JENNY‘'s response, the topic of conversation was changed back to the photographic display and no more wag said about RAMKOV. SUBJECT advisad that he asked JENNY about RAMKOV purely out of idle curiosity in as much as RAMKOV has mentioned visiting with JENNY on several occasions. SUBJECT further advised that after he had mentioned RAMKOV's name to JENNY» he realized that he had made a gross error in judgement. SUBJECT was admonished for security negligence. He was informed that the perogative to unilaterally disclose his association with RAMKOV was not his and had never been his; it was solely an AFOST perogative. ‘This breach of security with a third country national, while not insurmountable, was nevertheless very serious and should never occur again.:.

DATE: 7 March 1978 REFERENCE: AR (COORDINATION), 5 March 1978 TITLE: LARRY GIEL (U) DETATLS: (COORDINATION) (S) On 1 Mar 73, this operation was coordinated with SRP/Tehran. Individuals in attendance were SAs FRANK M. HUEY, CURTIS S. MORRIS JR., JIMMY L. STOUT and O‘DEAN L, HAMMETT JR. SRF/Tehran was represented by JAMES HIGHAM, Assistant Chief of Station and PRANK JOHNSON, Chief, Operations Division. HIGHAM advised that SRP was in the process of putting together the proposal that would be presented to Dr ANATOLI RAMKOV at the time the in-place defection approach is attempted, which will hopefully take place prior to 22 Mar 78. SRP envisioned the proposal being presented in increments. Initially, SRF would like to see GIEL teil RAMKOV that he (CIEL) had spoken to a very close friend of his about RAMKOV'’s problems and GIEL's friend was sure he had a solution to these problems. At this point, the yet unidentified, German speaking SRF Case Officer would be introduced to RAMKOV through GiEL in the hope that a dialogue can be established between SRF and RAMKOV. If RAMKOV agrees to meat with the SRF Case Officer, then the first increment of the defection proposal would be presented. Depending on how receptive RAMKOV is to the initial approach, SRF would attempt to continue their dialogue so additional increments of the proposal could be presented, until such time as the’entire proposal has been presented and RAMKOV either accepts or rejects ft. Obviously, SRP would so structure the proposal so if RAMKOV rejects it at any point, both GIEL's non-combatant status and SRF’s identity would be protected. HIGHAM was then asked if SRF's rationale for making the defection approach prior to 22 Mar. 78 was based solely on the tentative departure date (22 Mar 78) of RAMKOV's supervisor, Dr PETR ASHURKO, HIGHAM advised that the departure of ASHURKC was only part of SRF‘s rationale: he then explained that SRF was coliecting information on RAMKOV independently of that provided by GIEL. From their other source of information (FRED JENNY of the Swiss Embassy), SR® had determined that RAMKOV is responsive to clandestine Girection and still wants to continue contacts with foreigners. RAMKOV has presented himself as being extremely materialistic, and as a man who loves his freedom. When these factors are coupled with RAMKOV's recent display of emotion in front of Mrs GIEL (Reference AR, MEETING WITH ASSET, 5 Mar 78), SRF believes that now is the most opportune time to make the defection approach.

ANATOLIY RAMKOV, Deputy Director, Soviet Hospital, Tehran on 23 Feb 77 during which SUBJECT made the offer of providing RAMKOV a television set, SUBJECT was reminded that this committment had been made without prior consent from the Case Officer and resulted in short notice actions that could have been better programed if he had not made the committment at that time. The Case Officer told SUBJECT that while no apparent damage had been done as RAMKOV had not yet visited him or contacted him regarding the TV, such a situation, had it occurred, would have reflected unfavorably on SUBJECT's credibility with RAMKOV and may have had an impact on future operational endeavors. SUBJECT acknowledged his position in this matter and, in the Case Officer's opinion, situations of this nature should not occur again. DISTRIBUTION: HQ AFOSI/IVOE - 1; District 72 - 1.

SECRET HIGHAM further advised that prior toa making any approach to RAMKOV, SRF would present this proposed course of action to both WILLIAM H, SULLIVAN, U.S. Ambassador to Iran, and to Major General PHILLIP C. GAST, Chief, ARMISH-MAAG, for their concurrence. In addition, HIGHAM advised that SRF aiso has two contingencies in mind in the event RAMKOV totally rejects the approach and attempts to publicly embarrass the U.S. Government. The first of these contingencles would be to remind RAMKOV of the type of information he had provided to JENNY, which, should his superiors learn of, would surely mean charges of treason being preferred against RAMMOV. The second of the contingencies would be to go to SAVAK and advise them that RAMKOV, whom they consider as a Soviet Intelligence Officer, is attempting to gather intelligence material:from a U.S, military doctor. This would result in RAMKOV being immediately expelled from Iran. HIGHAM concluded by saying that as soon as the final defection proposal is worked out and forwarded to HO SRF, he will suggest that HO SRF coordinate directly with HQ AFOSI for the sake of expediency.

SRF/Tehran was represented by JAMES HIGHAM, Assistant Chief of Station and FRANK JOHNSON, Chief, Operations Division. SRF/Tehran advised that through a source of information independent of LARRY GIEL (FRED JENNY of the Swiss Embassy, Tehran), they were gathering additional information on Dr ANATOLI RAMKOV. To date they had learned that on 4 Mar 78, the Soviet Ambassador to Iran, VLADIMIR VINOGRADOV had persuaded Or PETR ASHURKO, Director of the Soviet Hospital, Tehran, to sign the necessary paperwork that would extend RAMKOV's tour in Iran for one more year. It was also determined that RAMKOV's desires are to spend one more year in Tran, then return to Moscow and work for one year at the No. 26 Clinic (not further identified). After completing this year in Moscow, RAMKOV hopes to obtain a position with the World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland. SRF/Tehran's suspicions that RAMKOV is an intelligence cooptee for the GRU has been more or less confirmed by a blunder committed by RAMKOV, Recently, RAMKOV was asked by JENNY why he was always trying to gather military/medical information, since he was a civilian doctor. Without thinking, RAMKOV replied, "Oh, that's for DOVBNIA" (Lt Colonel LEONID DOVBNIA, Assistant Military Attache and a known GRU agent). After making the statement, RAMKOV realized the mistake he had made and he immediately changed the subject of conversation. SkF/Tehran further advised they feel that now is the most opportune time to make an in-place defection approach to RAMKOV. They have been advised by SRF Hq that the German speaking SRF Case Officer that was requested to assist in the defection approach will arrive in Tehrdn during the week of 19 Mar 78, After the SRF Case Officer is briefed on the operation and has met with AFOSI and LARRY GIEL, SRF/Tehran would like to see the introduction of the SRF Case Officer to RAMKOV made on or about 24 Mar 78, SRF/Tehran concluded by stating that as soon as the requested SRF Case Officer arrives CLASSIFIZD BY COMMANDER n M? .
