)CUMENT RECEIVED FROM TO SUBJECT ACTION
In personal conversation with the former OSO station
chief in Manila, Ambassador Nyzron M. Cower remarked
that he intended to call on the Deputy Director within
a few days to express his continued interest in the
coordination of U.S. intelligence in the Philippines.
Acting at the suggestion of theDeputy Director on information
that the head of the Czech delegation to the San Francisco
conference might be induced to defect, OSO worked out means
of approach and reviewed the proposed operation with FBI
representatives. The FBI decided that hr. Sekaninova's
departure from the U.S. today leaves insufficient time to
mount a sound operation.
Successful W/T playback of a Bulgarian agent in Greece
during the past year seems confirmed by interrogation of
another agent recently arrived from the same headquarters.
Continued operation with 2 doubleit agents offers improved
prospects of controlling Bulgarian intelligence activities
in Northern Greece and a channel for eventual deception.
Joint U.S.-Greek playback of a Communist guerrilla agent
.based in Rumania will reinforce the operation.
In order tc strengthen its control of the Indonesian Intelligence
Service, OSO proposes to invite for conversations and orienta-
tion in Washington Raden Sumitro Kolo Paken, Governor of the Ministry
of Interior, advisor to the Indonesian National Police, and
right-hand man of the Sultan of Jogjakarta in intelligence
and security matters.
The joint OSO/OPC mission which entered Albania on 9 August
returned to Greece on 3 September after a brush with Albanian
border security forces.
