given extremely restricted distribution so that American missions
in Soviet and satellite countries may be alerted.

the arrival in Norway of a Soviet agent, Alexander V. Kliukin,
now in. police custody, proposes that a joint interrogation
brief be prepared if early British and American questioning
suggests its value.
