Security will damage the morale of staff personnel and
informants of the entire organization and may' establish
a dangerous precedent under the consitutional authority
invoked by the Judicial Police. MI-6 feels that evalua-
tion of the incident must await clarification.of the cause
of seizure and the constitutional issue involved.
An OSO agent parachuted into western Byelorussia on
22 Sept. in the course of the longest clandestine flight
over Soviet territory yet executed by CIA. The mission
was without incident. The agent has been briefed to report
in secret writing on Soviet Air Force and industrial targets
and will return to Western Germany through Poland and
Berlin.
