the next conversation around to practical application of philosophical ideas inFrance and Belgium, to get the conversation dowh to some specifics in the Westand to let KUTSENE0 bring up parallels in the USSR. In this way the door willbe opened, we hope, for probing KUTSENKO l s loyalty to the USSR, without the sub-source appearing to be interested in this point.

Attached is thisname and phone number, representing our first sample of KUTSENKO l s handwriting.)

6. AE/29 is instructing his subsource to continue low-key development of hiscontact with KUTSENKO and to develop contact with others of this group. SinceAE/29 and wife are leaving Brussels for the U.S. on 27 January, kg/29 has given

41j the subsource an address in New York City where the subsource can reach AE/29with discreet accounts of his progress. Operational contact between Louvain andBrussels via New York is admittedly not the most direct, but in view of AE/291spresent relationship with the subsource under AECASSOWARY auspices, an alternatecontact with a member of E: :3 during AE/29 1 s absence in the States was

I impossible.

7. We appreciate receipt of OBBW 8734 including Book Dispatch No. 8734.(We will, incidentally, henceforth label correspondence on these students REDCAPrather than REDSKIN.)

8. Headquarters comment (paragraph 4 of DIR 08765) strongly recommendingthat C._ _:ltot be involved in AE/29 contact operations against Soviet nationalsis directly pertinent to our continued conversge through AE/29 of these six Sovietstudents. In general, we interpret this comment to mean thatC: not be in-volved directly, i.e., that AE/29 not work under C -2) direction on contactoperations against Soviet nationals, that AE/29 andC: -7 agents not be mixedfor this purpose and, possibly most important, that indications of vulnerabilityor recruitability of Soviet nationals acquired through AE/29 be held as closelyas possible and not passed to L7 -3 Dr elsewhere if this can be avoided. Head-quarters ! comment on this point would be appreciated. In the case of the sixstudents the lead came from C._ and we were offered the opportunity to targetagainst them through AE/29. Since C: knows that AE/29 is here and presumablyworking against the Soviet target, or at least the Ukrainian portion of that tar-get, we think i+ is sound to discuss his use with them and to pass some (but notall) results of his activities to them, to show specifically that he can alsoassist their efforts (in teturn for their assisting in documenting him here).We think it is also prudent since, knowing he is here and his identity, theymight (if they heard little or no result of his activities) put an occasionalsurveillance on him or run an agent into him to check on his activities.

The aabeource l s name was traced bythrough L :2 via C: ,Dburied among many other spotted by AE/29. E: has notasked and has not been told that the subsource is actually being used by AE/29.

9. Headquarters comments are welcomed, particularly suggestions for furtheraction by the subsource when AE/29 returns from the U.S. If something on thiscase really broke, such as a clear indication by one of these Soviets to thesubsource that he wished to defect, Headquarters might hear of it directly fromAE/29 in New York before we did. In this case, of course, we would be prep edto take whatevepedieect action w45. called eceefor,

Att C to OBBA 18145

19 December 1962

SUBJECT: Soviet Students Studying at the University of Liege

1. Our office through a source you know, has acquired thefollowing additional information on two of the Soviet studentsstudying at the University of Liege:

A. Boris KUTSENKO is 25 years old, (born 23 February1933 according to your reports ), is five feet seveninches tall, somewhat heavy set, has broad shoulders,a round face, black curly hair combed back, blackeyes, slightly up-turned nose, is clean shaven, doesnot wear glasses, seems very sympathetic, smilesoften, seems to be good natured, a social type. Heis correct and polite, typically Slavic, speaks Russian,English and French. (His English is better than hisFrench.; the latter is fairly fluent but too grammatical.)KUTSENKO graduated from the Technical Institut in Leningradand is specislteng In electricity. His parents live inLeningrad and his grandfather is still alive. He alsohas brothers and sisters. Whtle at the inr7t1tut he learnedEnglish and is thus more fluent in it than in French.Recently, before comi ng to Belgium he worked very hard onFrench, in particular on technical terms. He is continuingto study French, mostly at home on his awn, from time totime he also listens to lectures at the university. Sofar, he has done little on his research as he and hiscolleagues ( the other five Soviet Students) have spentmore time improving their French. The six are scheduledto be in Belgium on year under the Beige-Soviet exchangeand six Belgian students went to the US11 in exchange.KUTSENKO lives in a small adequately furnished apartmentat 69 rue du Pare containing din i ng room, studio, endbedroom, and kitchen. KUTSENKO (and colleagues) eat mostlyat restaurants, but at times prepare meals at the apartment (s).

B. Oeorgl KUFAREV is 30-35 years old ( born 11 May 1927 accordingto your reports), is five feet seven i nches tall, he is slim;he has a slim oval, almost longish face, pointed features,a straight pointed nose, black hair in a crew cut, a smallmustache and does not wear glasses. He as an intelligentface, is rather Inquisitive, somewhat susp i cious, talksvery fast, puts pointed questtons, likes to get to the bottomof everything. KUFAREV is from Tomsk and is an engineer.It took him six years, the normal time in the USSR, to finishhis engineering studies and his studies, in line with therecent trend there, Included much practtcal and laboratorywork. He and most of the six Soviet students still do nothave exact research asstgnments which gives them more timefor the study of French. They do not as yet have many

friends and therefore spend a good deal of time together.

2. We would appreciate no investigative action in taken by yourservice based on this information which could reveal to the Soviets thesource of the informetion. If there is specific information on these ofthe other four Soviet students we may be in a position to assist.
