HW 53074 a 7 DL 105-1280 ay J ae Interview of VAN PO. om 11/24/64 reflected that he lost his left eye in an explosion when about fourteen years old and therefore was not eligible for service in World War II. It was noted by interviewing agents that POLLARD's left eye appeared artificial. An evaluation of information furmished by POLLARD to date reflects that information as to the existence and general backgrounds of people he has alleged are connected with this group appears accurate. Substantiation of this information has been conducted in a discreet manmer inasmuch as overt background investigation might at present jeopardize the informant status of POLLARD, POLLARD appears rational in speech and demeanor and is also very consistent in his information. He is never hesitant in giving this information, his prime purpose and motivation being that he is more afraid of the government than this group. He feels that the government is in a better position to protect him as he feels the group's plot will fail. POLLARD is of the feeling that he is jeopardizing his life on each contact with the government agents and wishes these contacts to be held to a very minimum. He consistently states that he does not know all the answers but is furnishing all the answers that he now possesses. He consistently advises that the group he is attached to is the “dirty work" group and is the lowest part of this organization. He feels that in the near future he will be able to extract himself from this group and believes he may "move up", thus enabling him to be ‘gn a: better’ position for gaining and furnishing the Bureau with information. POLLARD insists he will not receive payment for this information, but merely wants protection. He will, however, it is believed, accept payment for actual expenses. Bearing the above information in mind, no blanket interviews of individuals named by POLLARD will be undertken by the Dallas Office at this time inasmuch aS it is apparent that to do such might well jeopardize POLLARD’s position as an informant. It is also believed that future contacts with POLLARD om a continuing basis will better allow the Dallas Office to evaluate his information. It is moted that Kansas City has been able to furnish no infomation for the purpose of aiding Dalias in the evaluation and the credibility of POLLARD. , Enclosed LHM is classified "Confidential" inasmuch as information furnished by DL T-2 and DL T-3 could reasonably result in the identification of confidential informants of continuing value and compromise the future effectiveness thereof. am DoclIda: 32335771 Page 3
