DIRECTOR'S LOG
1TE OF DATE 8:30 AM, 13 Oct. - 8:30 AM, 1 Oct.
)CUMENT RECEIVED PROM TO SUBJECT ACTION
OSO
A Bulgarian "refugee" recently arrived in Greece has
confessed under interrogation that he is a Bulgarian Intelligence
agent assigned to penetrate U.S. Intelligence by inviting re-
cruitment, arranging for W/R training in Germany,, enticing U.S.
agents into Bulgaria, and either luring a U.S. Intelligence
officer to the Bulgarian border for capture or making possible
the capture of a clandestine operational aircraft. Close
interrogation is continuing.
A meeting of U.S. and British officer called by CG, TRUST,
to discuss the recent Yugoslav protest!.against intelligence
activities recommended a general reply stating that illegal
activities to the detriment of Yugoslavia would be prohibited
- in the future but wordedso .as not to preclude operations across
Yugoslavia against Soviet Satellites. The Political Advisor
in Trieste is reporting the above to the State Dept. for
decision. Meanwhile, after discussion between CIA and CIC
in Washington, State Dept. has replied to the Yugoslav
Ambassador that the U.S. does not engage in subversive activities
in Yugoslavia. The Ambassador stated that he considered the
matter closed.
)DD/Preports from London that the British Secret Service still
wishes to assign John Bruce Lockhartas its representative in .
Washington. He believes, after discussion with senior CIA
representatives in London, that this British move should.be
countered by an expression of confidence in M.A.C. Silverwood-
Cope, the present liaison. officer in Washington, possibly by
allowing him greater access. and increasing the importance of his
position. DD/P requests DCI guidance in further discussion of
this matter, during which hetnow inteds to reaffirm CIA's
view that London should remain the chief point of liaison between
the 2 services. A proposed reply is being submitted to the DCI
