MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

SUBJECT: "American Detectors to the USSRu

1. The attached material was part of a soft file entitled

"American Defectors to the USSR', which was set up by SR/6

(Support) around 1960 and maintained by various SR components

untll ca. 1963.

The compilationg were. derived from a variety.

of sources, and contain both classified and overt data.

2.

In the fall of 1966, the files were turned over to Cl

Staff. In most instances, basic information was then abstracted

for the US Defector Machine Program. In all Instances in which

the material was unique, or represented a valuable collation effort,

it has been

incorporated into the appropriate 201 file, along with

a copy of this memorandum.

3:

It is sugsested that any dissemination of this data should

be coordinated with SB Divicion and with CT Staff (CT/MRO); In

view of the frequently inadequate sourcing and of the fact that

disseminations have already been made through the US Defector

Machine Program.
