TOP SECRET DIRECTOR'S LOG .TEOF DATE 8:30 AM,211 Sept.- 8:30 AM,25 Sept. )CUMENT. RECEIVED FROM TO SUBJECT ACTION OPC A translation of a secret-ink letter from a CIA-controlled agent team in Albania has been received. Dated 5 August, the letter acknowledges a July supply drop, the first of three successful drops to this team and reports that the team is .intact and active. The writer mentioned wide-spread anti-Communist feeling in Northern Albania. He referred specifically to one organization known as "For the Freedom of Albania and Overthrow of Comaunism"; and said to number both civilians and soldiers among its members. If this team is as firmly established as the letter seems to indicate, there is now a funnel in Northern Albania through which supplies and additional agents can be put in. Indications are that members of the Mlditary Junta of the National Committee for a Free Albania cooperating with CIA in operations against Albania havemade politically inspired agent selections, have been lax securitywise, and do not enjoy the confidence of at least one Albanian agent team. Efforts will be made in future operations involving the Junta either to isolate its members while-operations are under way or to prevent its members from learning operational details. On 13 Sept. the National Committee for a Free Albania in New York transmitted a cable to Albanian Premier Enver Hoxha offering medicines and food stdffs to the Albanian people, provided distribution could be supervised by an impartial group. No reply has been received. Therefore, the message will be released to the press and radio within the next 2 days by the public relations' section of National Committee for a Free Europe. Hoxhalis tacit refusal to coopergte provides the basis for the next leaflets which - CIA plans to disseminate to the Albanian people in the name of the National Committee for a Free Albania.
