          .  On 28 Aprixl>9'0>t spent.several hours with an old friend.
    Dr. Robert M. Hosle'r 1f1t5 Carnegie Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio,}ho
      d been   very gooid=and cooperative soui-ce'while I was in Clyveland.
65Dr.   Roesler im a close friend nd next-door neighbor to Jim Rand 30
    of Rand Development Corporation (who peeds no introduction).

        2,. During the course of converse ion,LDr. Hiouler told me that
   within the last two-three months, FNU/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 Embassy.
   The son .replied that he was not able to.

        3.  Seing the impetuous type./Rand then decided that he would
   get- tothe bottom of- the matter, so he reached for the telephone and,
   posaib-y 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 o the US.

         he~  ~ ~  lef his~ car4 inta it.Imditln&hstlponeL
       n4. At the time of-Rand' 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. Acco
  panying him on the trip will be Dan Moore fomry   of OSS, and  e.
  in-law of Drew Pearo.   Moore is a resident of Cleveland and at
  one ties was affiliatd with the Middle East Company. He was newer
  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 Inkey was 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.

      . -It  was (Dr. Hosler's firm conviction that Rand has some idea
 in the back of his head where  he will attempt to smuggle Webster
 out of the USSR, during the course of bringing his car >ut of the area.
