104-10095-10151 JFK Assassination Records Archives 1 (10/16/1978)

handle is hein.jfk/jfkarch09460 and id is 1 raw text is: 1104-1095-10151 December 1965 Introduction: After examining the evidence of Nosenko's mala fides in the notebook, which I assume to be the best evidence, although not all of it, I am convinced that Nosenko is a bona fide defector. I believe the case against him has arisen and persisted because the facts have been misconstrued, ignored, or interpreted without sufficient consideration of his psychological failings. I recommend that the case be reviewed by a new team of CIA officers. 1. There are several references in the Nosenko notebook to the ex- tent and quality of the intelligence he provided. In the 25 March 1964 memo to DDP, it is asserted that A comparison of his positive intelligence with that of other Soviet Bloc intelligence officers with whom we have had an operational relationship shows that all of them were consistently better able to .provide useful.positive intelli- gence than has been Nosenko. Tab D of this same memo states His positive intelligence production is practically nil,' and later: viewed overall, however, NOSENKO's positive intelligence production has been so meager for a man of his background, training and position as to cast doubts on his bona fides, without reference to other criteria. All of these statements are incorrect. 2. There are three peisons- in the Clandestine Service with the background and experience to makq this judgment. None was consulted regarding these evaluations of Nosenko's production and access. All agree that they are incorrect. No KGB officer has been able to provide more useful intelligence than Nosenko hasi intelligence
