AMCLOCK/1 arrived in New York on 19 September i967... He g had been given instructions Lo cali a JMWAVE operational number (¢ (iden A) pnext time he was out in a friendly country in order to receive instructions. When he failed to call soon after his arrival it was decided to try to establish visual contact with him at HTBASTE, same as was done successfully in 1966, to move him to call for contact instructions. For that purpose DI GERVENO_wag taken to HTBASTE on“? = 21 September carrying a match folder from(iden B\with~ his alias, (iden C, and room number. The plan was to make sure AMCLOCK/1 recognized PI GERVENO, who also met him in 1966, and to pasa the match folde to AMGOCK/1 only if this could be done securely. DI GERVENO was able to make definite visual contact on four different occasions: once atitden D, twice at Eaen Band a fourth time- on the corridor. _ and tried “to keep himself availabl e for a possible contact. Howevei) this was not possible and\the« limited to visual recognition only > 2. Duving this time the operational number of the Beekman site (iden G) was also manned in case AMCLOCK/1 had retained this numhe and attempted to call DI GERVENO there instead of JMWAVE, but he failed to call either place for contact instructions. It was the decided to attempt to contact the agent again on 26 September at HTBASTE. While attempts were being made to locate AMCLOCK/1 the case officer surveilled the building where AMCLOCK/1 is staying iden BD and saw him go in by himself at 1316 nouns to leave his briefcase. At 1330 hours, AMCLOCK/1] left the pailain alone to go for lunch and DI GERVENO followed him. AMCLOCK/1 recognized the case officer and after exchanging safety signals DI GERVENO passed the match folder to the agent while beth were waiting on a crowded street corner for the red light to change, at which time AMCLOCK/1 told DI GERVENO that he hao no way to contact him and would see him after lunch. rsawnat> yey a are SECRET

He was very glad to see LI GERVENO again and to be able to discuss things openly. He criticized bitterly the living conditions in PBRUMEN but does not seem to be affected by it or by the fact that he had to live under a regime he obviously hates. In fact, he seemed quite sure of himself and plans to return to PBRUMEN at the end of the HTBASTE session. He is scheduled to remain in New York until December 1967 but may return to PBRUMEN before then for a short visit to look after his ailing mother and his wife, who had a baby girl two weeks prior to his departure. This may have influenced AMCLOCK/1 not to think about a possible defection at this time, which came as a surprise to the case officer who expected the agent to have second thoughts about return to PBRUMEN where he is not happy. 4. AMCLOCK/1 explained that he could not make contact as instructed because he had destroyed the phone number and both accommodation addresses we had given him for him to report from inside PBRUMEN. He destroyed them in the toilet at the airport upon his arrival in PBRUMEN in late December 1966 after observing a number of uniformed individuals at the airport which he considered to be suspicious, although they had nothing to do with AMCLOCK/1. This may have been a convenient excuse for his failure to make contact as instructed but DI GERVENO did not press the issue. Instead he was given the operational numbers of the Beekman site and of the Base in New York (Zaen LP and told he could always cal there if he could not locate DI GE 0 at (den B.> He was also given the JMWAVE number for emergency contact. AL K/1l said he tried to make contact by callin Gen J to inguire about MIDDAUGH in true name, [oSe after -much-prosikg he wae told that MIDDAUGH was in Washington and was given a phone number for him to call direct. AMCLOCK/1 was planning to call Washington at a later day if he had not been contacted. t, 5. AMCLOCK/1 reported that he has had no security problems and has not been molested inside of PBRUMEN. He was treated "royally" by the AMTHUG regime in early 1967 and everybody seemed pleased to see him back. Apparently his return surprised some individuals who pri- vately thought he would defect rather than return to PBRUMEN to live. During thie time he enjoyed special privileges and received frequent invitations to official functions with foreign diplomats. However, by mad 1967 the special privileges and invitations were gradually suspended for no apparent reason. (For example, he was no longer i allowed to take his private car to a government garage for repairs and he had to arrange for themaintenance of his house, which was given to nim and kept up by the government at first). AMCLOCK/1 believes that this was due to his being under "observation" while going through a reorientation period after his long stay abroad. There is nothing to indicate that AMCLOCK/1 is not trusted or accepted by other govern~ ment officials. The fact that he was sent out again. is, RRP EFong + be S E C R E T :

After their marriage in late 1966 he was not sure of her true political ideology but during the past year he has been able to confirm her disagreement on a number of occasions. He feels confident that she would follow him in any movement against the regime, such as defection, but has no bout his work for WORACT. Geguae ATAZ Dine. a .

Although the agent has a tendency to emphasize his “delicate” position, the case officer believes that he is not mistrusted and still enjoys a favorable position in the government, although probably considered too bourgeois to be completely integrated with their communist philosophy. 3. Regarding the recent changes made in PBRUMEN diplomatic personnel abroad, AMCLOCK/1 was not aware of any security shake up taking place in the Foreign Ministry. He regarded these changes aS a routine matter in accordance with their policy to bring back to PBRUMEN for a reorientation tour all those diplomats stationed abroad for tnree consecutive years or more.

However, if this is ‘true the chances for AMCLOCK/1 to be reassigned abroad in the near future appear doubtful at this time. $3. When DI GERVENO asked AMCLOCK/1 about his work and how the recent changes may affect him, the agent then reported the following information about his position in the Foreign Ministry. After his return in late December 1966 he was given four months vacation, during which time he went by the ministry from time to time but had no job assigned to him. He used most of this time for a honeymoon and to relocate in his new home furnished by the PBRUMEN government.
