This Central Intelligence Agency dispatch, released under the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act and filed under the AERODYNAMIC project, replies to two April 1966 references about Ivan Kolaska of Toronto. It gives Headquarters information from source AECASSOWARY/2 on Ivan Yaremko, a Chicago lawyer who traveled to Soviet Ukraine and suggested Kolaska was probably a Soviet agent. It weighs whether Kolaska's KGB arrest in Kiev was genuine or staged and asks the Canadian service to protect the sources. It does not discuss UFOs.
