This undated, secret Central Intelligence Agency debriefing memo to the Chief, CSOB, records the life story of Clevland O. Hahn, a Latvian born in 1919. It covers his family and pre-war life, the Soviet and German occupations of Latvia, his anti-communist resistance group at the Jelgava Academy, and his post-war activities in Sweden. An appendix gives numbered biographic notes on Latvian emigres, intelligence figures and police officers. The document contains no UFO material.

/43 on partisan activities in Kurzeme and if there exists the possibility of establishing contact with such partisans independent of SIS. This correspondence, though secure, was, Hahn feels, too frequent. SKOBES intelligent questions and general content of the letters as well as the urgency which was indicated, led Hahn to believe that he truly was in contact with BROADWAY. In these letters SKOBE informed that BROADWAY had a great deal more information aboUt the LCP's machinations than could be imagined and therefore BROADWAY was extremely interested in assuming a new contact, completely divorced from TILBURY. In answer to SKOBES query whether HAHN had the possibility for contacting VOLDEMkR separetely,. the latter replied in the affirmative, bringing about a request from SKOBE that Hahn turn this entire matter over to him because it is a great deal more insecure to operate in Sweden then in England. Hahn replied that he felt that he should encode and decode and thereby retain control to which SKOBE assured him that he would only be lending his codes to BRCIDWAY Until they could assume contact after which the Code's would be returned to Hahn. (It should be mentioned here, that there was no possibility of utilizing LIMNS radio because of a lack of fluids.) During this time Hahn's contact man in the US, HUME, wrote to Hahn and informed that he had established contact with YCLAIM and was in need of information about the partisans, which Hahn sent him. Somehow SKOBE found out about the fact thatHahn was sending Kalme this material and chided Hahn that he was cooperating with the wrong man (meaning KALME). SKOBE further mentioned that the DS will never fully understand Latvia
