              SUBJECT:   The Bona Fides of Yuriy Ivanovich Nosenko


                   1.  KGB officer Yuriy  Ivanovich Nosenko first.contacted
              CIA  in Geneva-in-June- 1962. -Over, the- course- of- five meetings
              he.provided  sufficient-information-to enable-the.two officers
              from CIA's--Soviet-Russia Division who met him to establish
              that-he-was- a-bona-*fide-source. The major-information-furnished
              by-hir-at-that-time-was-the'identification  of-a US code tech-
              nician who-had--beenr-recruited by the-KGB, and -the- identification
              of-the  location of--KGB-microphones in the US Embassy in Moscow,
              52--of -which were later-found.

                    2. When  CIA's Counierntelligence  Staff-was informed
              of~Nosenko-s  1962-approach;--its -management regarded this news
              within  the context of what they had-been-hearing-fro-.a K.'_
              defector whom -ther were-then -debriefing, Anatoliy Mikhaylovich
              Golitsyn.  Golitsyn, who  had defected ir. December 1961, was.a
         * ,  counterintelligence  officer who was-obsessed.-with.the-subject
              of KGB-deception operaitions-. Even though.Golitsyn was diag-
              nosed-ib early  1962 as a paranoid personality, the-CI Staff
              had-complete  faith-in the-validity of his theories and analyses.
              A-sanitized version-of  Nosenko's information wastherefore
              shown to Golitsyn; who -flatly concluded that Nosenko was acting
              underKGB   control. --The-CI Staff accepted Golitsyn's analysis
              and persuaded---the--management of SR Division also to .accept it.

                    3. By.the  time Nosenko was again heard from, in January
              1964,-again-in  Geneva, the management of SR Division and CI
              Staff was  firmly committed to the position that Nosenko was
              part of  a KGB deception-operation.---Nosenko-actually-defected
              on-4-February-1964/
