Secret REL Ger SECRET SECRET/RELEASE TO GERMANY ONLY 1 MEMORANDUM FOR: The Director of Central Intelligence SUBJECT: ADM Press Release on the Gehlen Organization 1. The information in the attachment is so de- tailed that the possibility exists that it is the re- suit of a high level eastern penetration of the ZIPPER organisation. The details are being examined at the PUllach Operations Base to determine the date of the information and possible source thereof. No penetra- tion is positively known at the present time. 2. The information could also represent a high level penetration of government circlep in Bonn, e, g. the Blank Office. The information which has been used to brief various officials when combined with other items obtained from GE opeiations by the opposition could result in this expose. 3. The obvious intent of the publication is to panic ZIPPER personnel into moves which will negate the effectiveness of the organization. Therefore every effort will be made to investigate thoroughly, and the utmost secrecy must surround any suspicions we may have.
