SOURCE 'THIS IS UNEVALUATED INFORMATION FOR THE RESEARCA USE OF TRAINED INTELLIGENCE ANALYSTS 1. Angel Kuyumdjiski, a naturalized American businessman with offices in Paris and New York, received $1,200,000 worth of tobacco and rose oil (essense of roses) at the end of 1941 as the payment for his claims against the Bulgarian Government. It is believed by source that this is the only claim paid by the Bulgarian Government to an American citizen since the end of the war, presumably because of the aid Kuyumdjiski has given the Bulgarian Government in various commercial negotiations. 2. Source believes also that Kyumdjiski came to terms with the Bulgarian or Soviet Intelligence Service to collect his claim* TN,-; riiriii6(-3 to c ., i c Wt .+, fc;tter of 16 Cyct,b(47- from th:.:) t ,�r 4 r7 j CLASSIFICATION S Document No. 447 NO CHANGE in Class. 0 .JKI DECLASSIFIED Class.
