        ee   very goed and cooperative sou -ce'while I was in Clyveland.
            .i  a close friend and next-door neighbor to Jim Randji.
   o  Rand Development Corporation (who peeds no introduction).

                                              - - L...0  or
       2,  During the course of conversa fon,           to d me that
  within the last two-three months,  U/Webster, the Ran  employee
  who defected in:Moscow, had written several letters to his father
  in the US stating that he wanted to come home. His father got in
  touch with Rand, who told him to inform his son to go to the US Embaasy.
  The son .replied that he was not able to.

       .    eing the impetuous type,/Rand then decided that he would
  get. tdihe bottom of- the matter, so he reached for the telephone and,
  possibly to the surprise ofzall hands, was able to reach Webster,
  who-s currently in Leningrad.  Webster did not go into detail but
  said that- he would be- interested in coming back to the US.


      S 4. At the time ofRand's closing ou  f h   operations inMoscow,
 conversation with Webster, Rand told hie        t he vas going to
 make his last trip to the USSR and would ring back his car. Accomg
 ponying him on the trip will be Dan Moore fomry   of OSS, and se.
 in-law of Drew Pearo.   Moore is a resident of Cleveland and at
 one ties was affiliatd with the Middle East Company. He was never
 contacted by me because of his erratic nature, and because of his
 marital-connections. Moore is a flamboyant type who is willing to
 try anything once or twice. The Middle East Company branch office
 in Iakey Ta. referred to as a US intelligence operation by the Soviets
 several yearsago, ..o they undoubtedly have a dossier, on boore.
 Also accompanying Rand to Moscow will be our old friend George Bookbinder.

     5.  It waan            firm conviction that Rand has some idea
in the back of  is head where  he will attempt to smuggle Webster
out of the USSR, during the course of bringing his car >ut of the area.
