4. The CIA Station in Canberra arranged for discussion of the

calls with the Australian security service. In the opinion of the

Australian authorities, the caller was a crank. In any event, they

were not able to identily any Polish einployee of the Soviet Embassy.

the automobile described by the caller as the one he diove, or the
