how to resign from the Agency. A representative from the
Frankfurt station was immediately sent to'Rome to return
Reason to Frankfurt. On orders from Washington, Reason was
flown to the United States to be interrogated by I & S. The
interrogation and polygraph.tests were' negative. Reason was
discharged for abandonment of position) his passport, P 'and
AGO cards have been sent by the Transportation Division to
State and Army for cancellation. The case is considered closed.
The second scheduled plenary meeting of the Organization
Bureau of the CIA sponsored Council for the Liberation of the ~
Peoples of Russia has been delayed beyond the projected data of
30 September. The delay has been caused primarily by the Georgian
groups who are taking longer than predicted in signing the
- Stuttgart Protocol. These groups are, now expected to meet and
reach an agreement among themselves on the Protocol on 5 October.
The Armenian groups are similarly delayed, but will meet:.in
Cairo in early October for the same purpose.
