Mr. He ins explained the Nosenko case briefly and indicated that shortly we would be faced with what we at least considered to be two problens on which we: would like the advice of the Departaent of Justice, First, wo would secon feel coapelled to begin hostile interrogation of Nosenko in order to arrive at the truth with respect to his mission for the KSB and we wondered - ‘what the legal position would be in circumstances in ‘which we detained Nosenko against his will for this pure . pose. Second, we would have to be ready after detorain-= . ing “that we could obtain no additional inforaation Fros Nosenko to deport. hin... We had thought of taking hin to a Germany and transferring him to Soviet custody in Borlin ~~. - where this has been done a number of tines in the past. 3. There was soso discussion of whether deportation to another country aight be a consideration. Nr.

Helms noted there were many items of inforsation which we and the FBI realize are of no significance because of the file holdings.we have but which an unscrupulous newspaper san could use to create mischief. This aspect was then dropped and 1@ was the consensus that 3erlin was probably the best place. 7 4. The question of the basis for detention was again raised and related by Mr. Foley to the conditions under ~which Nesanko is in this country.

Gn 2 April 1964 we had a discussion with the Department 2 ‘of Justice or the ‘status of aliens whose inspection by 1&NS is deferred upon arrival at our request and who are then paroled to this Agency, ~ i: was the position of the Department of Justice that we were responsible - for taking any action. necessary to carry out the terms of the parole, "7.8, As you know,. a basic parole agreement was executed by the Attorney General and the DCI on 10 February 1955, After setting up conditions for authorizing parole in any one Case, the agreement states: “After parole of such aliens, the Central Intelligence Agency will assume .  ¥esponsibility for care, supervision and control of a kind and degree it believes consistent with the internal Security needs of the United States” during continuance o their parole status.” This means that the responsible Agency officials must take the minimum action necessary to protect the internal security needs of the United. States. -The word "minimum" is not necessarily a limitation, It merely means that good judgment must be used as to what kind and degree of action is necessary, - & . 3. The agreement further provides that upon completion of the Parolee's intelligence or Operational purposes in the United States or if internal security reasons so require, the alien will be removed from this country through arrangements made by the Agency anc, in such - case, the Agency will inform the Service in advance of each Proposed LAWRENCE R, HOUSTON General Counsel ce: DD/P CiSR ; qrec ts * une wal e “tee te sie emi sae ee é * -o8 cert Bite eterna, wevttnceacaeuneetneer cn: ° OP Cae ta po aye mee. ve . « Tr me ee pee me ong ee +8 Ne emer se ene a sae

To ‘Rainsay that decision in retrospect is, we believe, an error, itn sum, the act Of defection places the.-defector at the mercy of the laws of the country to which he defects. It is the Obligation of the accepting country to see to it that the laws are followed. In the Nosenko cause, it seens to us that the Agency acted in a fully responsible manner to ensure that its responsibility for the defector was met. While it was. unfortunate that it took so long to resolve the matter, we cin find no fault with the fact that the Agency met its responsibility to both the United States and to Nosenko himself, .

14-00000 AP ‘SECRET. MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD SUBJECT: Yuriy Ivanovich NOSENKO eo In early or mid- 1967, the Agency General Counsel was provided a summary of the Nosenko case. The nenorandum " sought an advisory opinion from the General Counsel on the Agency's legal basis for its handling of Nosento through : that date and on the legal aspects on the eventual disposi- tion of Nosenko, Shortly subsequent to this Sesoraidum to the General Counsel, Nosenko took up residence in October 1967 in an apartment in the Washington area and was reminded that _ Should he wish, he could. travel- ‘freely anywhere at” anytime. He gradually created a new | life for himself in the United States and has indicated on S¢veral occasions that he holds no ill feeling about his. handling by the Agency at anytime, Background - .. | . ; an - ' Nosenko voluntarily established contact with CIA repre- . sentatives in Geneva in 1962. He identified hinseif as a Staff officer of the KCB's internal security directorate. and offered to sell counterintel1igence information. This. offer was accepted and he was recruited as an agent in place and SECRET
Var gla heey -debricfed on counterintel Ligence matters during five meetings in Geneva. He then returned to the USSR. He cane: to Geneva . again in January 1964 as the security officer for the Soviet disarmament delegation, After a number of meetings with his CIA handlers ‘he defected on 4 February. 1964 and was secretly taken to Frankfurt, Germany, crossing the Swiss- -German. border on the night of 4/5 February with alias U.S, Army identity documents. In Geneva and again upon arrival in Frankfurt, Nosenko wrote out’ an asylum request, requesting political asylum from the U.S. Government. | Because serious doubts about Nosenko's bona fides had arisen on the basis of the information he had provided both in 1962 and in the meetings in Geneva in 1964, it was orig- inally planned to do a detailed. bona fides debriefing and assessment in Germany before making any decision about moving Nosenko to the United States. However, unprecedented action by the Soviet. Government in respect to the defection. of one of its citizens forced a change of ans. On 9 February, TR ERR aang Of plans unidentified Soviet sources in Geneva leaked the news to the press that Nosenko, described as an “expert attached to the Soviet Delegation to the Disarmament Conference" had dis- appeared, and that it was presumed that he had defected, SECRET
Because of mounting pressure’ ‘from the press, which included much speculation that Nosenko was a high level scientist or disarmament expert, it was decided that the State Department would make a brief announcement acknowledging Nosenko's request for asylum in. the U.S. and identifying him'as a member of the KGB. This was done on 10 February. On 11 Feb- . ruary, the Sovict Government delivered a note to. the American Embassy in Moscow asking how Nosenko left Switzerland and requesting an immediate interview with him and his ‘release. On 12 February, Soviet Anibassador to the Disarmament Confer- ence TSARAPKIN held a press conference in: Geneva in which he accused - ‘the Swiss Government of failure to cooperate in locating Nosenko. Although the Swiss categorically rejected ‘these charges, the American Ambassador to Switzerland recom-. mended that Swiss authorities be allowed to interview Nosenko to convince themselves that Nosenko had left Switzerland of his own free will. , On 12 February 1964, on the instructions of the Director, Nosenko was brought to thé United States. He travelled by commercial air, again using alias jdentification, and was admitted to the country.at New York City (in true name) on parole under the provisions of Section 212 (d) (5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. SECRET
4g-00000 SECHET On 13 February, representatives of the Swiss and Soviet ‘Embassies in Washington advised the State Departuent that ‘they desired interviews with Nosenko. Gn 14. February, ‘in Moscow, Soviet Foreign Minister GROMY KO called . in- Ambassador - KOHLER and protested, "impermissable activities" on the part- of the.U.S. in Nosenko's case Soviet press “spokesmen took an even harder line to vedtern correspondents, and accused the U.S. of kidnapping Nosenko. On the afternoon of 14 Sep. tember, at two separate interviews, he spoke first to Swiss Embassy and then to Soviet Embassy representatives. At ~ these interviews, which were also attended by State Department’ ” and INS: officials, Nosenko confirmed that he left Switzerland - of his own free will to seek asylum in the U. s. In addition, he replied to questions of the Sovict Embassy representative to the effect that he was renouncing his Soviet citizenship. On the evening of 14 February, the. U.S. State Department made. a brief formal reply to the Soviet protest, then issued a brief statement to the press noting that the interviews had been held and that Nosenko had confirmed his desire to remain in this country. From the time of his arrival to 4 April 1964, Nosenko was housed in the Washington area. During this period, reg- ular systematic debriefing was: commenced, and Nosenko was SECRET
cee, SECRET ee made available to representatives of the FBI for debriefing on matters affecting their responsibilities. Although allowed out for evening and week-end excursions, Nosenko was ut all times accompanied by O/S personnel. In addition, he took a two-week vacation to Hawaii, again accompanied by caso offi-: cers and security guards. Evidence continued to mount that he was a KGB plant, and at the same time it became obvious that it would be impossible to proceed further to. resolve the many suspicious points and contradictions that. had arisen without changing the conditions in which he was being held. Nosenko was growing increasingly uncooperative, especially when sensitive areas were touched upon, and constantly pressed’ for the legalization of his status in the U.S. and the issuance of an alien registration card. .At the same time, Nosénko's heavy drinking and other unruly personal habits were causing increasing difficulties to the security personnel charged with keeping him under control and out of trouble at all times in accordance with Agency local responsibility. It was clear that it was only a matter of time before he created a public. scandal, More importantly, he was in a position. to communi- cate with the KGB since physical contro} could net be absolute. On 4 April 1964, Nosenko voluntarily underwent a polygraph examination, The results of this examination indicated deception: ¥ SECRET

Nurphy set with the Deputy Attorney General and wesbers of his staff to discuss subject case, Present frea Mr. Katzenbach's: staff were Messrs. Foley, Yeagley and Rsis. 2.. Mr. Holms explained the Nosanko case briefly and indicated that shortly we would be faced with what we at least considered to be two problens on which we would Like the advice of the Departament of Justice. ‘First, wo would secon feel coapalled to begin hostile interrogation of Nosenko in order to arrive at the truth with respect to his mission for the KG3 and wo wondered - what the legal position would be in circusstances in : which we detained Nosenko against his will for this pur- pose. Second, wo would have to be ready after deterain- . ing ‘that we could obtain no additional information fro — Nosenko to doport hin... We had thought of taking him to Germany and transferring him to Sovist custody in Boriin where this has been done a number of tincs in the past. . 3. There was sosa discussion of. whether deportation to another country aight be a consideration. Wr. Helms explained we would probably face publicity probleas in deporting to a third country of the kind we would en- counter if he were free in the U. S. Nr. Helss noted there were pany items of inforsation which we and the FRI realize are of no significance because of the file holdings.we have but which an unscrupulous newspaper san could use to create wischief. This aspect was then dropped and it was the consensus that Serlin was probably the best place. 4. The question of the basis for detention was again raised and related by Mr. Foley to the conditions under which Nosenke is in this country. lie is here as an “oxe- clusion and parole case” which aeans he has not been adaitted and has been paroled to tha Agency which is responsible for hin while he is in this ccuatry. . This STS | “spate ull
14-00000 parole can be interproted to moan parole to a specific -kocale which would provide sone justification for our. - detaining him for questioning. It was then pointed out, however, that if he said he wished to leave the country to return to.the. Soviet Union, technically we would not be able to detain him further. In this event, we would be faced with the need to deport his quickly and quietly * _ and for this purpose. the ianigration warrant of arrest :, " and deportation was probably the best instrument. — ote 5. Ur. Katzenbach asked Mr. Foley to check into this and Mr. Foley will in turn contact Nr, Houston. Mr. Houston will in turn discuss the probles with CIA ‘Office of Security officials to get the background of their liaison with the INS oa these matters, 6 Mr. Helws thanked Mr. Xatzenbach for his assistance and we departed amid some. jovial banter with respect to “The Spy Who Case in From the Cold” about what we expected to happen to him when he started to cliab aver that “wall” ee ers oe ee : David E.

The word “minimum is not necessarily a limitation, It merely means that good judgment must be used as to what kind and degree of action is necessary, | ® ; 3.

NOSENKO Question #1 - Conditions under which Nosenko was held while at. Clinton? Locked in? Let outside for entertainment? Prisoner? Treatment? Answer: * During the period of 4 April 1964-13 August 1965, Nosenko was held in strict confinement under the following conditions: a. Confinement in single room except for periods of interrogation. b. Constantly under guard and subject to 24 hour visual observation with regular room search. Dress was coveralls and food was of sufficient quantity but limited in variety. d. No unnecessary conversation was permitted, radio and television were not allowed, newspapers or any information concerning current events were forbidden and reading material was extremely limited. Question #@2 - Conditions at ISOLATION. Same as above. Answer: During the period of 13 August 1965 to 25 October 1967, conditons cited above were basically maintained with the following additons or changes: From February 1966 to May 1967, Nosenko was’ *~ a. furnished no reading material. b. After May 1967, Nosenko was periodically given a different volume of the Encyclopacdia oe Britannica to read. -¢. From February 1966 to October 1967, Nosenko was mot permitted cigarettes. d. Subject was permitted daily exercise in a small confined area outside the building when weather permitted. Bii.-
a tae Question #3 - Tid McCone or Raborn have any information on this: What? a Answer: Office of Security records contaln only Limited information in regard to this question. The Si Division (then SR) was the responsible office for the confinement of Nosenko until late October 1967 when total responsibility was transferred to the Office of Security by the DCI. [t is presumed that the DCI was ‘ at least generally aware of the confinement of Nosenko' and the - conditions of confinement, but any definite statement must be based on SE records. Question #4 - Where is Nosenko working now? Answer: Nosenko is currently employed at his personally owned residence in North Carolina, He is engaged in research and analytical work based on his previous knowledge of the KGB and other Soviet matters. He is in the Washington, D. C. for several days approximately every six weeks for direct interviews by the FBI.and Office of Security personnel. arca Question #5 - Is he working for CIA? Answer: Nosenko has been employed by the Agency on a full-time contractual basis since 1 March 1969. The original contract has been periodically amended to reflect additional remunerat fone primarily to compensate for cost of living increases. ..:In,.late., - 197%, Nosenko was compensated by mutual agreement for salary ; not received during the 1 April 1964 to 1 March 1969. In addition, : on 12 July 1975 Nosenko signed an acknowledgement and release : of the United States Covernment and the Central Intelligence Agency from any claims prior to that date. . Question #6 - What is his legal status? Answer: Nosenko was naturalized as a United States citizen in April 1974.
SECRET. MEMORANDUM FOR: The [Inspector General SUBJECT : The Nosenko Case Attached please find a summary of a document written in 1967 to-the Gencral Counsel outlining the Nosenko case and explaining to him actions-which had been taken with regard to... _ Nosenko, As noted in the first paragraph, in October 1967 ‘Nosenko took up residence in the Washington area and was advised that, should he wish to leave the apartment for any __docation whatsoever, he was (ree to so do. In other words, “from that date, Nosenko was essentially a totally free man. “That he chose not to flee in any way may be indicative of his uttitude toward the manner in which he was handled prior to October 1967. ; While one can criticize the fact that Nosenko was kept incommunicado for approximately three years, and therefore presumably denied full civil rights, the attached document does indicate, we believe, that the Agency was on the horns of a dilemna in this regard. There were legitimate doubts about. Nosenko's bona fides and concern that he was a Soviet plant. There was no Country to which he could be deported save the Soviet Union, and Nosenko himself refused to return there. Yet, in the United States, save when isolated from society, he was considered to be a continuing threat -tocrgy-c 27. national security. © oo, a Recognizing that only legal experts can judge defini- . tively the merits of the case, it seems to the writer that ‘the Agency had. no choice but to hold Nosenko incommunicado. pending resolution of his bona fides. He was admitted to the United States under thé provisions of Section 212 (d) (S) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, namely as a parolee to the Agency. As a parolee, Nosenko de facto from the date of his entry to the United States did not enjoy the full civil rights of the normal citizen. He wes a ward of the Agency, in a sense, and the Agency was ultimately responsible for his E2 IMPDET CL BY 018307 SECRET
n 1 conduct. There were at the time very legitimate reasons .to believe that full and total release of Nosenko would be an abrogation by th -Rainsay that decision in retrospect ‘ ‘In sum, the act of defection places the defector at the me of the laws of the country to which he defects. It is, the Obligation of the accepting country to see to it that the laws are followed. In the Nosenko case, it seens to us that the Agency acted in a fully responsible manner to ensure that’ its responsibility for the defector was met. While it was. unfortunate that it took so long to resolve the matter, we can find no fault with the fact that the Agency met its responsibility to both the United States and to Nosenko himself. e Agency of its legal responsibility. To is, we believe, an crror. recy Attachment: A/S SECRET
14-00000 SECRET MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD SUBJECT: Yuriy Jvanovich NOSENKO , In early or mid-1967, the Agency General Counsel was ‘provided a summary of the Nosenko case. ‘The nesorandum sought an advisory opinion from the General Counsel on the Agency's legal basis for its handling of 'Nosenko through that date and on the legal aspects on the eventual disposi- tion of Nosenko. Shortly subsequent to this sexorandum to the General Counsel, Nosenko took up residence in October 1967 in an apartment in the Washington area and was reminded that should he wish, he could travel freely anywhere at anytime. He gradually created a new life for himself in the United States and has indicated on several occasions that he holds elie wis no ill feeling about his handling by the Agency at anytime. Background Nosenko voluntarily established contact with CIA repre- . sentatives in Geneva in 1962. He identified hinself as a staff officer of the KGB's internal security directorate and offered to sell counterintelligence informatién. This offer was accepted and he was recruited as an agent in place and SECRET
% ae “SERED -debriecfed on counterintelligence matters during five mectings - in Geneva. He then returned to the USSR. He cane: to Geneva ‘again in January 1964 as the security officer for the Soviet disarmament delegation. After a number of meetings with his CIA handlers he defected on 4 February 1964 and was secretly taken to.Frankfurt, Germany, crossing the Swiss-German border’ on the night of 4/5 February with alias U.S. Army identity documents. In Geneva and again upon arrival in Frankfurt, Nosenko wrote out’ an asylum request, requesting political asylum from the U.S. Government. . Because serious doubts about Nosenko's bona fides. had arisen on the basis of the information he had provided both , : in 1962 and in the meetings in Geneva in 1964, it was orig- inally planned to do a detailed bona fides debricfing and assessment in Germany before making any decision about moving... Nosenko to the United States. However, unprecedented action by the Soviet Government in respect to the defection of one of its citizens forced a chance of plans. On 9 February, unidentified Soviet sources in Geneva leaked the news to the Press that Nosenko, described as an “expert attached to the Soviet Delegation to the Disarmament Conference" had dis- appeared, and that it was presumed that he had defected, % SECRET
ry 1 as SECHET i Because of mounting pressure ‘from the press, which included much speculation that Nosenko was a high level scientist or disarmament expert, it was decided that the State Department would make a brief announcement acknowledging Nosenko's’” | request for asylum in. the U.S. and identifying him as a member of the KGB. This was done on 10 February. On 11 Feb- . ruary, the Sovict Government delivered a note to. the American Embassy in Moscow asking how Nosenko left Switzerland and requesting an immediate interview with him and his release. On 12 February, Soviet Ambassador to the Disarmament Confer- ence TSARAPKIN held a press conference in Geneva in which he accused the Swiss Government of failure to cooperate in locating Nosenko. Although the Swiss categorically rejected these charges, the American Ambassador to Switzerland recom- mended that Swiss authorities be allowed to interview Nosenkoosoj20 to convince themselves that Nosenko had left Switzerland of his own free will. , On 12 February 1964, on the instructions of the Director, | Nosenko was brought to the United States. He travelled by commercial air, again using alias J identification, and was admitted to the country. at New York City (in true name) on parole under the provisions of Section 212 (d) (5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. SECRET
14-00000 _ta SCCHET On 13 February, representatives of the Swiss and Seviet Embassies in Washington advised the State Departotent that ‘they desired interviews with Nosenko. Gn 14. February, in Moscow, Soviet Foreign Minister GROMYKO called in “Amba sador “KOHLER and protested “impermis sable activities" on the part of the U.S. in Nosenko's case. Soviet press spokesmen took an cven harder line to kedtern correspondents, and accused the U.S. of kidnapping Nosenko. On the afternoon of 14 Sep- tember, at two separate interviews, he spoke first to Swiss Embassy and then to Soviet Embassy representatives. At these interviews, which were also attended by State Department and INS officials, Nosenko confirmed that he left Switzerland of his own free will to seek asylum in the U.S. In addition, he replied to questions of the Soviet Embassy representative the effect that he was renouncing his Soviet - ‘Citicenship. ' On the evening of 14 February, the. U.S. ‘State Department made a brief formal reply to the Soviet protest, then issued a brief statement to the press noting that the interviews ‘had been held and that Nosenko had canfirmed his desire to remain in this country. From the time of his arrival to 4 April 1964, Nosenko was housed in the Washington area. During this period, reg- ular systematic debriefing was commenced, and Nosenko was SECRET

14-00000 “ SECRET a Tet eee si INSPECTOR GEiEp ay ieD MEMORANDUM FOR: Inspector Ceneral ATTENTION ; Mr. Neil Ainslie VIA : Deputy Director for Administration SUBJECT : Alleged Tilegal Activities (Unidentified Subject--Alleged Abuse of Defector) . 1. Reference is made to Mr. Ainslie's verbal request for a review of Office of Security files in an effore to provide information pertinent to a case mentioned on page 170 of the Report to the President by the Commission on CIA activities within the United States... 2. The case in question from page 170 of the Commission Report is quoted as follows: “In one other case, a defector was physically abused, although not seriously injured, The Director of Central Intelligence discharged the employee in- volved.* - 3. <A search of Office of Security file resources has reflected ‘information pertinent to a case in which a defector was physically abused at an overseas location, and the Agency employee was Later terminated by the DCI. It is not known whether the following case is identical to the referenced case on page 170 of the Commission Report, but the facts appear to be quite similar, ; 4. Information developed by this Office of possible in- terest to the Inspector General, pertains to one John Torpats, an ex-CIA employee, and one Eduard Oun, an Estonian defector. $5. Torpats was born in 1898 in Estonia, and became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1926. Torpats was employed by CIA in February 1949 and was terminated 30 January 1961. | The file information reflected that in July 1956, Torpats was found guilty of mistreatment of an alien by a Special Inquiry Board E2 IMPDET CL BY 011018 SECRET nN Ie Rs
14-00000 onthe in Frankfurt, West Germany. The alien involved was Eduard Oun, an Estonian who defected from Estonia through Sweden in 1955. ‘ 6. The incident in Frankfurt involved Gistreatment of ‘Oun during interrogations directed by Torpats. The charges of physical abuse included the striking of Oun with the fist; upplication of turpentine and ointments to various parts of the body, the scrubbing of Oun's body with a brush, and forc- ing Oun to stand in the nude as long as eight days during interrogations with only very brief rest periods, 7. Torpats was returned to Neadquarters and was brought before an Employment Review Board for consideration of separa- tion from the Agency. The Board's recommendations initially were that Torpats be "transferred to an area outside the Clandestine Services." Torpats appealed the decision, and a later recommendation included reduction in grade from GS-14 to GS-13. Torpats later received unsatisfactory fitness re- ports and engeged in various “in house" battles with Agency officials concerning his employment. 8. Torpats was later terminated in accordince with the authority granted the DCI under Section LO2(Cjy of the National Security Act of 1947, as ammended, effective 30 January 1961, Later'in 1961, Torpats filed suit against the DCI contesting his dismissal, and the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia granted the government's motion for summary judgment against Torpats. Torpats appealed the decision, and the U.S. Court of Appeals, in 1962, upheld the lower court's ruling that Torpats' termination was legal. 9. The Office of Security file of Eduard Oun contained little information other than interrogation reports dated 1956, It was not clear from file information whether Oun entered the United States after the Frankfurt incident. The most recent document contained in the Oun file was dated 17 September 1956 and noted that Oun had been psychiatrically examined and found qualified for Agency sponsored immigration to the U.S, under Public Law 203, 2 SECRET
