On one occaston in about January 1970 or 19713, Source approached an American official-in the restricted parking area of the Luzhniki Palace of Sports in Moscow - Source obtained a special pass and parking permit from a friend in order to observe boxing. matches, and while parking his car noticed what appeared to be an American official car being driven by a foreigner. (Source claimed that he already had thoughts of wanting to leave the Soviet Union and hoped the American could help or perhaps provide. some suggestions. It should be noted, however, that Source was in at Teast semi-official contact during this time frame with a KGB officer named Lev Mikhaylovich GAYRILIN who reportedly was involved in operations against American Embassy personnel.) During the brief conversation which was held in English, the American official mentioned that he was the assistant to the American Military Attache, replied to Source's queries that Source's only chance of leaving the USSR would be through approved TOY or tourist travel, gave Source a calling card (Source could not recall the American's name), and suggested that Source phone him the next day. Source mentioned the encounter to ROZINKIN and on the following day ROZINKIN and Source phoned the American from a public phone booth. (In actuality, ROZINKIN spoke to the American during the telephone conversation because he was considerably more fiuent in the English language than Source.) The American merely stated that there was nothing he could add to his previous statements and the telephone conversation was terminated. Source described the American as taller than average, having a thin face and perhaps light colored hair; Source was uncertain of the i latter because the American wore a hat at the time of the initial . contact, ROZINKIN had occasional contact with foreigners in Hoscow i and reportedly had lengthy correspondence with an Australian national. dhen questioned about the aforementioned correspondence and probable Soviet knowledge of it, Source commented that ROZINKIN might have : been "hooked" by the KGB. ; ; ° YS ECRET - - { i 3. En approximately 1972 ROZINKIN introduced Source to an ; : American defector named fnu MARTIN at the. latter's apartment in one : of only two high-rise apartment buildings located on the southeast corner of the Obrucheva Akademika Ulitsa - Leninskiy Prospekt intersection in Moscow.

The apartment - itself, consisting of two rooms, had unidentified. security devicas, according to ROZINKIN who related to Source most of the information reported below. MARTIN, who had stereo equipment and played music during the two brief encounters, allegedly would not permit anyone into his apartment without receiving an advance phone call.

ROZINKIN also remarked once that MARTIN indicated he felt he made : a mistake in defecting to the Soviets and regretted it. Reportedly, ; MARTIN has had contacts with foreign diplomats in Moscow and in this connection ROZINKIN stated that a Swedish diplomat offered his assistance to spirit MARTIN out of the Soviet Union, apparently through the use of a diplomatic vehicle.

Source claimed he did not know the reason for ROZINKIN's i association with MARTIN and only quessed that ROZINKIN may have been i involved in obtaining translation work for MARTIH. Relative to this, i however, Source stated it was his (Source‘s) impression that MARTIN had no interest in seeking any form of employment.
