TOP SECRET DIRECTOR'S LOG ATE OF DATE 8:30 AM, 6 Sept - 8:30 AM, 7 Sept DCUMENT RECEIVED FROM TO SUBJECT ACTION OO (Con't) recommendation stresses the importance of Antwerp as a world port and its constant use by Soviet and Polish ships. He also notes its "great potential value as an important port for supplies for U.S. Forces in Germany." OPC Headquarters has received from the field for chemical analysis, a sample of what is believed to be a Soviet drug, medicine, or similar compound, intended by them for aggressive use. The drug was obtained from two Soviet agents who defected while on a mission to kidnap an individual cooperating with a CIA cover organization in -estern Germany. Because of delays encountered in commencing the training of Albanian W/T operators in Germany, and-the relatively slow progress made to date by the men taking training there, no trained operators will be ready by the dates scheduled during September for agent air drops. Consequently, the September infiltration schedule for Albania has been postponed for one month. DD/P Ambassador Briggs has complained to the State Department that his First Secretary, Mr. Schnee, who unexpectedly called at the DEC(G) on 27 August, was refused permission to interrogate 2 Czech defectors who had only reached. the DRD on 23 August. After consultation, the State member of the IDC advised Ambassador Briggs that defedtor procedures do not permit direct access to defectors by other agencies in the field until CIA has established their bona fides and has reached a decision not to use them operationally. Interrogation results, as they become available, are being forwarded to Ambassador Briggs. COPI # / OF $. TOP SECRET (CON INUBS1
