           MEMORANDUM  FOR:   Director of Central Intelligence

           SUBJECT:.          Yuriy I. NOSENKO

                   1.  The attached memorandum describes the techniques
            used and the results obtained in the first phase of the
            present interrogation of NOSENKO.  The most significant
            item to emerge from this questioning and related polygraph
            testing pertained to.Subject's story on Lee Harvey OSWALD,
            Subject's reactions to the polygraph indicate that he
            never heard of OSWALD until after President Kennedy's
            -assassination inNovember 1963, that he was not an active
            participant in the case as claimed and .that his whole
            story on:OSWALD was prepared by the KGB and given to us
            at their direttion.

                   2.  Other areas of strong reaction refer to Subject's
            suspected. contact with.the KGB while.in Geneva in 1962 and
            1964 andto  Abidian and the Pushkin Street drop (key fact-or
            in the PENKOVSKIY compromise).  Subject became-very upset
            at questioning on this subject and refused to discuss his
            own alleged. involvement in the case. We also touched upon
            NOSENKQ's parental background, periods of imprisonment and
            homosexuality,. His reactions here all pointed to clear-
            cut contradictions in the story he has told us,

                   ..  There still remain several areas of interest and
            importance to be covered .with the techniques used to date.
            We expect, to.. complete this line of questioning by 28 October.
                   4   This first phase has enabled us to confirm our
            analyses of key aspects of this case.  More important is
            the fact that NOSENKO knows he is reacting in sensitive
            areas and this is worrying-him because he is not sure how
            much we know or how we learned it.  NOSENKO's reactions
            have.given us hope-that we may by this procedure have begun
            to strike home.  We do not know what it is that keeps this
            man sitting-month after month in his present situation.
            We speculate that .one factor may be confidence that the
            KGB will-get him out.  Related to this may be the thought
            that the KGB has CIA so deeply penetrated that.it would be
            unhealthy for him to confess.  Our current line of interro-
            gation, expanded and used even more forcefully, might
