DIRECTOR'S LOG
TE OF DATE 8:30 AM,25 Sept.- 8:30 AM, 26 Sept.
CUMENT RECEIVED FROM TO SUBJECT -ACTION
OSO
The British Secret Service (MI-6) believes that seizure
of the files of the Charleroi office of Belgian State
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.
Maj. Gen. Charles Haydon, chief planner for the British
Secret Service, will arrive in Washington on 3 October
for conversations with CIA officers.
4aj. Gen. Frank Heileman, Chief of Transportation Corps,
U.S.Army, agreed in conference with OSO and TRD representa-
tives on 21 September to assist in guarding Camp Parry.
with troops from Fort Eustis.
The OSO Registry processed 2,912 outgoing pouch items
during the week of 17-22 September, the largest
number ever dispatched.
