TOP SECRET
DIRECTOR'S LOG
ATE OF DATE 8:30 AM, 26 Sept.- 8:30 AM, 27 Sept.
DCUMENT RECEIVED FROM TO SUBJECT ACTION
OPC
In a dispatch from Athens, the NEW YORK TIES reported on
26 Sept., that "a new powerful radio station appears to.
have been installed in Albania, broadcasting in the name
of the National Committee for a Free Albania, a body
agitating for the liberation of the Soviet Union's smallest
and most isolated satellite." The broadcasts emanate from
a CIA controlled clandestine transmitter located near
Athens which. was previously reported to have begun broad-
casting into Albania on 18 Sept.
Apparently following a tip from Greek Intelligence, CIA
Athens reports that Bulgarian border authorities have
been alerted to expect the infiltration of an agent team
and is preparing an ambush.: The team in question is identified
as a CIA controlled group which had been operating in South
Central Bulgaria but which crossed the border into Greece
in July. The return of the team to-Bulgaria is being
postponed.pending a field investigation of what appears
to be a security compromise.
ABulgarian defector to Turkey has reported seeing leaflets
in the Tutrakan area of northeast Bulgaria which, from his
description, were undoubtedly dropped during-a:CIA operation
in March.
CIA Frankfurt reports that during the Communist-dominated
World Youth Festival in August, the East German authorities
-- outside of Berlin were unable to cope with large-scale
leaflet, poster and sticker operations mounted by the
CIA-sponsored League of Free Lawyers because so many East
Zone security police had been transferred to Berlin to
control the crowds.
