                  SO196-0     apet.aeveral   hours with an old friend,
            O            101 5 Carnegie Avenue, Cleveland,,Qhio.  o
       be     very godd and cooperative source whili I was in Cl veland.
              Lis- a lose frihd  ad next-door neighbor to Jim RandJdi
      Rand Development Corporation (who peeds no inttoduction).

         2 During  the course of converse ion,           told an that
  within  the last two-three months,     ebstrthe Rand employee
  who defected in Moscow, had written several letters to his father
  in the US stating that he wanted to come homne. His father got in
  .touch with Rand, who told him to inform his aon to go to the US Embassy.
  The son roplied that he was not able to.

       3.  Seing the impetuous type,/Rand then decided that he would
  get toithe botton of the matter, so he reached for the telephone and,
  posaibty to the surprise ofzall hands, was able to reach Webster,
  who is currently in Leningrad. Webster did not go into detail but
  said that- he would be- interested in coming back to the US5.    )

      4.h At the time of-Rand's closing out of h a operations inMoscow,
 he  left his car in that city. Imediately  fo  owing his telephon;
 conversation with Webster, Rand told hie  i   that he was going to
 asks his last trip to the USSR and would  ring back his car.  Accome
 po.ying him on the trip will be Dan Moore  formerly of OSS, and
 In-law of Drew Pea rseow Moore is a resident of Cleveland and at
 one tims was eaffilidewd with the Middle East Comany. He was never
 contacted by m* because of his erratic *nature, and because of his
 meritel-connactions. M~oreF is a flamboyant type who is willing to
 try anything once or twice. The Middle East Company branch office
 In  rkey ea   referred-to as a US intelligence oecration by the Soviets
 sevoral years ago, .so they undoubtedly have a dossier. on Moore.
 Also accompanying Rand to Moscow will be our old friend George Bookbinder.

     I.  lt was  a7hed  vb       firm conviction that Rand has some idea
in the back of his head wherey  he will attempt to  smuggle Webster
out of the USSR, during the course of bringing his car 2ut of the area.
