YURI I. NOSENKO.

On 1/17/83, source was queried concerning any

knowledge he might have of the NOSENKO matter.

He advised

that "officially" the KGB never discusses defectors and

generally all one would hear would be rumor and gossip.

NOSENKO is considered a

as far as source is aware.(

traitor" in the eyes of

the KGB

V(1)

The source assumed that NOSENKO told western

intelligence everything concerning Second Chief Directorate

activities in Moscow and further assumes that, as is

custom, a "special Commission" of the SCD was convened

following NOSENKO's defection to do a damage assessment.

As an aside, source noted that his defection would be

"examined" by members of the K Directorate of the First

Chief Directorate and by members of the 9th Department of the

S Directorate

(S)

source has no knowledge concerning any connectior

setween the NOSENKO defection in 1964

assassination of President JOHN F. KENNEDY In 196 ASked™

to give his opinion on the merits of Some"speculation that

NOSENKO defected under the direction of the KgB to convince

the US that the KGB had nothing to do with OSWALD's actions,

source did not believe that to be the case. In source's

opinion, NOSENKO's defection and all the information he furnished

about the SCD would have been too great a price to pay

"to

save one man."

Source does not believe that the KGB would risk (S

a defector. Such actions, if they ever occurred, certai

source has never heard that the KGB killed or attempted to kill

ended after OLEG LYALIN's defection in Engländ in
