DEPARTMENT OF STATE INR BRIEFING NOTE TO: The Director, INR DATE: 6/12/68 TIME: 14:00 PM SOURCE(S) Warsaw 3552 SOURCE(S) Reuters, Warsaw, 6/12 INR Comment: Kowalski had been in Bonn exactly two years and his normal tour was presumably up. However, since he is an old communist, who fought in Spain, is Jewish and is reportedly not well, he presumably could not look forward to another job in Poland. People with his background are now facing both unemployment and harrassment in Poland. As the situation for Polish communists of Jewish origin gets worse, defections are becoming increasingly likely. Kowalski is a defector, we are told. INR OFFICE H3N/EE BRIEFER Irane Jaffe EXTENSION 4924 CONFIDENTIAL FNW 31097 DocId:33061196 Page 6 (Classification)
