MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, CI Liaison

FROM             .    SR/CI/R

SUBJECT: Questions Concerning Defectors
                      Joseph J. DUTKANICZ   (O-289236)  and
                      Vladimir 0. SLOBODA   (201-287527)

      1. DUTKANICZ's   Army  assignment at time of defection.

           USAREUR   Case Summary  2-62-2 (copy attached) confirms
 DUTKANICZ's  assignment to the 32nd Signal Battalion in Darmstadt.
 However, his wife indicated that he had CIC connections. In an interview
 at the American Embassy Moscow on 5 December  1961 (cited in DBA-288,
 24 January 1962), she indicated that their trip behind the Iron Curtain had
 been made possible because her husband worked for the CIC and was.allowed
 to do things the ordinary 'GI' could not do. There are also penciled no-
 tations in the. 201 file suggesting that his Army assignment may have included
 intelligence functions of some kind.

      2. Previous KGB  connection of both defectors.

           Per USAREUR   Case Summary  2-62-2, DUTKANICZ   himself
 told American Embassy officials in Moscow that he had been approached by
 KGB representatives in a bar near Darmstadt in 1958 and had accepted
 recruitment as a result of their threats and inducements. He claimed to
 have given them minimum cooperation from then until his. defection, although
 the Army.considered it probable that he had done more than he admitted. A
 further indication of his KGB involvement.before defection is the fact that the
 special decree granting him Soviet citizenship was enacted three months before
 his arrival in the USSR; see Emb tel 851.
