1. 'ITI_cipincidende of DOLLMANN-making contact with U.S. authorities so shortly
after Hq had requested recent traces, on him was interesting. His motives for making .
this offer are not clear but may possibly be found in his intention to move permanently
to Spain, especially if we postulate a close tie to Otto*ORZENY ec:Cof and the pro-
clivity of this group for putting out as many far flung ties as possible. It is just
possible that DOLLMANN actualy was seeking that he deemed to be the relative safety
of U.S. protegtion for an information channel to the DDR which he could tap at will, '
or that Kurt--: ER t.) HOLGART was unwilling to undertake the mission DOLLMANN pro-
posed for him uness it had U.S. or other Western backing. This is merely one of a
number of possibl theories which you may be in a much better position to evaluate
than we.
2. In any case, not being especially anxious to. deal through as controversial
. _
a figure as DOLLMANN, we have taken.rrY Pnti.nn in this case. If it has any potential
at all, is probably in line with'. SED program, and then preferably
without using either DOLLMANN or his henchman Karl'GRUETER as middlemen. A/thongh we
have no CALL assets in Munich, if you feel this is worth pursuing, we could have
smeonlook into the matter of making direct contact with HUNGER, passing the lead
on to f: ;./if it then appeared worth while.,
3. We await with interest your comments on this matter, which, incidentally,
seems of questionable CE interest. We have no word on this from EE or MOB and will
regard-the -matter as closed in the absence of further communication. .
