S. ALLEN The Central inuetisence By ROBERT a PAUL SCOTT Agency with- arren Commission durlaz its investiga- Despite ‘the cormmission’s | writ en re- suesi for all documents that might shed. lignt on the assassimation, CIA. authori- _ ties failed to turn over a naticnal intelli- gence estimate warning that,it is Kremlin ‘policy to remove from public office by as- sassination Western officials who actively . oppose Soviet policies. Titled “Soviet Str ategic Executive Ac- tios,” the suppressed CIA document went iriio the shocking details of how agents of ‘RGB, the Soviet secret police, are trained to do. away with Western leaders, includ- ing officials in the U.S., and to make their “deaths appear due to natural causes. One of the KGB’s newly devised as- sassination weapons is “a pneumatically _. _operated poison ice ‘atomizer,’ which leaves no wound or other. evidence of the cause. of death.” While this deadly’ weapon has yet to be ed against any high Western official, hundreds of KGB agents covertly operat: ing outside of Russia have been supplied with this pocket-size gun, awaiting only _ orders from Moscow to use it. ed to a high-volfage wire, during a » Gerstorm. ; HIGHLIGHTS. OF the suppressed intel- ligence estimate, which is locked in a se- curity area within the tightly guarded CIA, are as follows: ; “It has been reported that the KGB en- deavors to remove the threat to Soviet in- + terests posed by certain members of West- ern governments, sometimes arranging -for the dismissal of such persons from public office, at other times even having _them ‘eliminated’ physically. “Such activities are known to be un- ‘dertaken against other types of persons in the West, notably de sectors irom the U.S.S.R. and from other countries of the Soviet bloc. “One recently reporied assassination technique is to electrocuie an individual ‘by luring him to use a telephone, connect- thun- “Another involves the use of a pistol “whieh prajects a poison gas In Hquid or ioressed ferin, 7} is fac ” jis use.

Instead, McCormack report only recently from congvessional probers who are trying io determine why . the document has been suppressed. ‘ The investigators also are trying to de-- termine why the CIA in its pre-assassina- - tion report to the State Departinent on Oswald’s trip to Mexico City gave details only of tne defector’s visit to the Russian’ cmbassy and not the Cuban embassy.
