KENNEDY ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 1992 8 October 1959 MEMORAJDUM FOR THE RUCORD SUBJECT: Robert Edward Webster, Project G 1. The attached cable from Embassy Moscow is selt explanatobrt It was brought to my attention th~is morning by Mr. Robert Crowley of Contact Diis.ion/ 0. g 2. Mr. Webster was employed -Rand -piz oacmayM.Ezdto xoscbv for the opening of the Sok oliki'Fair andfor the pursuit of Rand's interest as agents for several American xiioswo atdt i- pose oftheir displs, at the end of the fair. Webster is in his early thii, , 'is belleved to have a business manage- ent backiound, but several attempts to obtain biographic data abort him from our files hav. drawn a blank. It appears that Iie was assigned as temporary office manager of the Moscow office and charged primarily with the responsibility to sell Rand services to American exhibitors ans agents to liquidate their displays at the end of the fai.r. tha 3. About 21 September Mr. Crowley of OOCD informed me ttuy Corrigan, Chief ast est Contacts 00 had received word rom Mr. Me 11, ast West Contacts State Department, that inquiry was being made by'Rand Corporation of State Department to determine the whereabouts of Mr. Webster who had departed his office without notice to the parent company. It seems that Rand Corporation also made direct inquiry through the Soviet Embasay Washington for information about Mr. Webster. At this point relayed this information to Major Carels, USAF/ACSI, who phoned me a day later to say that the Soviet Embassy had informed Rand Corporation that Mr. Webster was on a twi weeks tor arranged by Intourit. Since Webster was about to conclude his assignment for atnd in Moscow and return home this information was considered quite satisfactory. 4. During our -conversation on 28 September with General Dougher and other ATIC representatives, a question as to Mr. Webster ' situation and whereabouts was answered with the infomati that he had been on a vacation trip and was believed to be earoute to the U. S. It was also stated that ho was a temporary employee and was not intended to be the Moscow off ice manager. RETURN TO CIA Background Use Only A. , Do Not Reproduce
