General Stillwell Outlines National Goals
In Defense, Intelligence at AFIO Luncheon
General (ret) Richard G. Stillwell, newly appointed Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Policy, addressed a
jam-packed AFIO luncheon throng on 15 June at the Officer's Club, Ft. Myer, Virginia, and gave a concise insight into
the new directions of national defense and intelligence utilization being pursued by the Reagan administration.
General Stillwell, a past AFIO president, spoke before the largest AFIO luncheon gathering in our history, over 400
persons, including past directors of CIA and DIA, and dwelt on the three current imperatives facing the Department of
Defense: Soviet expansionism, the need to prevent war and the ability to wage effectively if need be, and the ability to
prevent force or threat of force against the world community by any aggressor nation.
Expanding Intelligence Role
He stressed the expanded KBG role in support of
numbers of groups alleging to wage "wars of national
liberation", and in its manipulation of instruments of
"disinformation" in the western world. The new admin-
istration, he said, is seeking to reinvigorate its national
defense posture including additional support and funds
for the overall U.S. intelligence capability to enable it to
respond better with timeliness and precision in gather-
ing and processing needed information. He mentioned
that President Reagan will soon re-activate the PFIAB
(President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board),
abolished by President Carter, as an expanded advisory
staff of 15 members, with supporting personnel and
committees. Names of new PFIAB members would be
announced soon by the White House, he said.
Recalling what he called "the climate of compro-
mise" during the past decade in terms of cutting back on
national defense and intelligence capabilities, General
Stillwell said, "My hat's off to AFIO for what you did", in
speaking up publicly in its support of the intelligence
community during that period.
He urged AFIO to continue its role of speaking out
in support of legislation defending and improving the
U.S. intelligence posture, including its support for cur-
rent legislation to protect identities of covert agents and
methods, and that giving some relief to intelligence
agencies in complying with the Freedom of Information
Act (FIOA). The anti-intelligence forces in the U.S. are
well-heeled, he said, and are prepared to continue their
opposition to such legislation.

A Periscope Comment
The Soviet Hand In International Terrorism
Since the advent of the Reagan administration,
Washington has become an epicenter of heated debate
on whether the Soviet Union (read: KGB) is or is not a
moving force behind international terrorism. Secretary
of State Haig has expressed strongly his view that such
is the case. The new-formed Senate sub-committee on
Security and Terrorism, part of the Judiciary Committee
and chaired by Senator Jeremiah Denton (R) of Ala-
bama, has already held a hearing on this matter. Last
April 24th, Clare Sterling, the author of "The Terror Net-
work" (reviewed in our last issue of Periscope) and
Arnaud DeBorchgrave, co-author of "The Spike" (re-
viewed in Periscope in 1980) both testified at that time
and generally supported the thesis of considerable
behind-the-scenes Soviet support and assistance being
extended to an entire political spectrum of terrorists.
Bill Colby, ex-DCI, was somewhat more cautious in
his testimony on that same date, Responding to a direct
question, he said that while he didn't think that there
was a special operations room at KGB headquarters in
Moscow, complete with flashing lights and directly run-
ning international terrorism, the Soviets are only too
happy to create mischief in the non-Communist world
and to destabilize western societies whenever possible
by assisting already created terrorist groups.
KGB and Terrorism
Since the problem of international terrorism is not
going to get any better in the short term, it is certainly
one which our members should follow with consid-
erable attention. The U.S. intelligence community has
long been tasked with collection of information on inter-
national terrorism as a top priority and is currently
preparing classified studies for its customers on this
highly charged topic.
It is not our aim or desire to second-guess the U.S.
agencies involved in such collection and analysis efforts.
One conclusion immediately emerges, however, from
extensive reading of overt articles, studies and media re-
porting: the KGB is indeed strongly supporting inter-
national terrorists of whatever ideological stripe if
their activity tends to undermine or demoralize the gov-
ernmental or social structure of the non-Communist
nation in which terrorists are at work.
This is not simply a theory or an opinion: there are
undeniable facts available attesting to the Soviet role in
training, arming, assisting terrorists in false documenta-
tion and travel and, in some cases, advance approval of
terrorist strikes.
KGB Use of Proxies
While the KGB astutely uses reliable proxies to hide
its hand: Cuba, Libya, South Yemen, and the Palestine
Liberation Movement, the Soviets themselves, by eye-
witness accounts, have been directly engaged in train-
ing terrorists. As one example, the cadre of the PLO has
largely been trained in the Soviet Union, usually in mil-
itary institutes such as the one near Simferopol, Soviet
Crimea. One out of every ten PLO militants has been
trained inside the USSR. By PLO defector accounts, the
PLO since 1974 has become little more than a Soviet-
controlled terrorist group. We know how the "rat-line"
works that brings PLO recruits from orientation courses
in Lebanon camps, to Moscow by Aeroflot, thence to the
Soviet training camps and return.
We also know that since 1968 the Cuban intel-
ligence service, DGI, has been completely dominated by
the KGB and that KGB generals sit in Havana and
run it. As for the Peoples Democratic Republic of Yemen
(South Yemen), it has been little more than a Soviet
fiefdom for the past six years and its main "industry" is
the training of European, African, and Middle East ter-
rorists. And the Libyan megalomaniac, Kaddafi, has
reached a solid accord with the Soviets to destabilize his
neighbors and moderate Arab states - and Israel.
Texts on Terrorism
The bewildering complexity of international ter-
rorism makes it difficult to deal with in this short space.
But for required reading, Mrs. Sterling's "The Terror
Network" is an excellent beginning. And we have just
read a first-class 40 page resume, "Soviet Support for
International Terrorism", published in spring 1981 by
The Foundation for Democratic Education. Its author is
Herbert Romerstein, a professional staff member of the
House Select Committee on Intelligence and one who
has been an expert on Soviet subversion for years.

There are many who seek to differentiate between
"strugglers for national liberation" (e.g. the PLO, the
African National Congress, SWAPO, and the Sandinis-
tas of Nicaragua) and those practicing terrorism, such as
the Basque ETA, Rote Armee Fraktion or the Red
Brigades of Italy against the democratic societies of the
West. But it is a curious fact that none of the violence and
terrorism either from "strugglers" or the terrorists is
ever directed at the USSR or its eastern European
satellites, only at the West. For the Soviets, acts of
violence and terror against non-Communist nations, for
whatever reason, are grist for their mill.

Status of Legislation
Progress on Identities Protection Act
As reported in the last Periscope, John Warner
testified on the Intelligence Identities Protection Act
(HR4) before the House Sub-committee on Legislation,
of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence
chaired by Congressman Romano L. Mazzoli, (D-Ky).
There is no major opposition to this bill. Members will
recall that the House passed a similar bill last year but it
did not get through the Senate. The House Sub-
committee has not yet begun to discuss the bill but it
could become law by autumn of this year.
On May 8, 1981, AFIO president John M. Maury
testified in support of the Intelligence Identities Protec-
tion Act of 1981 (S-391), similar to HR-4, before the
Senate Sub-committee of Security and Terrorism of the
Committee on the Judiciary, chaired by Senator Jeremiah
Denton, (R-Ala.) This bill had been introduced by Senator
John H. Chafee (R-R.I.) on February 3, 1981. Sen.
Chafee is a member of the Senate Select Committee on
Intelligence and the bill should have been referred to that
committee for consideration. When the bill was intro-
duced, however, Senator Joseph L. Biden, Jr. (D-Del.)
requested that it be referred to the Senate Judiciary
committee, which was approved.
No major opposition to identities legislation this year
is anticipated. Members will recall that when the Senate
version of the Identities bill was sent to the Judiciary
Committee last year, at the behest of Senator Edward
Kennedy (D-Mass.), it was gutted and did not pass the
Senate. It looks good for a bill to pass this year, however,
since the differences between House and Senate ver-
sions are minor and could be easily worked out in
conference.
Freedom of Information Act
Senator John H. Chafee (R-R.I.) introduced the
Intelligence Reform Act of 1981 (S1273) on May 21,
1981 which is designed to afford relief to the Director of
Central Intelligence in the response to requests for
information under FOIA. One major change in this bill is
that it would limit requests only by citizens or permanent
resident aliens, and would limit the type of Agency files
to be searched for information.
Executive Order 12036
It appears that the Reagan Administration, through
the Presidential Advisor for National Security Affairs,
Richard V. Allen, is pushing for a total revision of the
present Executive Order. If this assessment is accurate,
there may be a long debate within the Executive Branch
and the oversight committees of Congress. Members
will recall the furor that arose in the press last spring
when the ACLU raised allegations that the new DCI, Mr.
Casey, was trying to "unleash the CIA" and authorize
the use of domestic wiretaps. These charges were false
and represented an attempt by leftist groups to generate
public opinion against the new Executive Order even
before it was written. AFIO is prepared to assist if and
when asked for comments by the Administration.
David Phillips Sues
Washingtonian Magazine
David A. Phillips, founder and past president
of AFIO, is suing Washingtonian magazine for $35
million for allegedly implicating him in the assassi-
nation of President John F. Kennedy in 1963.
Phillips filed his suit in Montgomery County Mary-
land Court on May 1st. As many AFIO members
are aware, Phillips' motive for bringing this suit is to
encourage former intelligence officers to protect
themselves against scurrilous and libelous charges
by the media.
The November 1980 Washingtonian article
entitled "Who Killed JFK", stated that a mysterious
CIA agent named "Maurice Bishop" met with Lee
Harvey Oswald in Dallas before the assassination
of President Kennedy in 1963. The article drew
Phillips' name into speculation about the identity of
"Maurice Bishop" and noted alleged physical
similarities between Phillips and an artist's sketch
of the anonymous agent.
Phillips' suit says that the article was intended
to and did convey the impression that Phillips had
conspired to commit felonies at various times in his
career. A legal action fund called 'Challenge' to
assist Phillips in his suit was created after the
appearance of the article.
A second challenge suit was filed in the U.S.
District Court for the District of Columbia on June
19. This suit concerned allegations that a number
of intelligence officers and groups, including AFIO,
were involved in the assassination of the Chilean
ex-diplomat Orlando Letelier.

AFIO's Educational Projects
In accordance with AFIO's corporate requirements
which state that we are organized exclusively for educa-
tional purposes, the AFIO Executive Committee is con-
sidering a number of educational projects, in cooperation
with other professional organizations concerned with
intelligence and with the various intelligence schools of
the U.S. Government.
Educational projects under consideration include
the following:
? A Speakers Bureau. AFIO will attempt to compile a
list of our members who live in or near localities with
colleges and universities and who are willing and able to
volunteer to speak, to lead seminars, act as consultants
or to teach individual courses on intelligence.
A definitive study, Teaching Intelligence: A Survey
of College and University Courses on the Subject of
Intelligence was commissioned by Dr. Ray Cline's
National Intelligence Study Center (NISC) last year. Its
author, AFIO member Wilfred Koplowitz, briefed our
1980 Convention on it. This study has now been
published and is available by writing NISC, Suite 805,
1015 Eighteenth Street, NW, Washington, DC 20036,
at $3.25 a copy.
Come to the AFIO Convention prepared to contri-
bute to discussions on our education projects. If you
cannot attend the Convention, please write your views
and suggestions prior to October 1st.
? Curricula. U.S. intelligence schools document each
of their courses of instruction, usually unclassified but
with lists and background documentation which include
classified references. We hope to provide the academic
community with precise subject bibliographies and
course outlines by replacing classified references with
open source material.
? Pamphlets. We would like to provide inexpensive
seminar guides on important intelligence issues such as
secrecy, executive charters, covert action, or need-to-
know, which would be invaluable to instructors. Each
pamphlet would contain one or two essays on the
specific topic, together with a reading list and a seminar
outline.
? Books of Readings. Most courses on intelligence
are supported by books of readings which would be ideal
for use in colleges. We intend to consider providing
these, once permission is obtained from copyright-
holders.
? Textbooks. Some unclassified textbooks written
for U.S. intelligence schools under contract are suitable
for open publication. Classified textbooks used in these
schools would have to be sanitized and published. Our
findings indicate that there is a need now for a good
comparative textbook on the major intelligence services
of the world.
? Seminars. In addition to our speakers bureau, AFIO
must be prepared to field a team of experts on all aspects
of intelligence to conduct seminars or intensive week-
end conferences on such topics for colleges or civic
groups.
Many of the projects suggested above could be
handled by an AFIO member knowledgable in the subject
matter and working singly. Other projects will require
funding from foundations interested in supporting the
intelligence community. We intend to make time during
our business session of Convention '81 to discuss the
above projects in some detail.
We will need volunteers, particularly persons will-
ing to become a project manager, a full-time volunteer
effort. We will also need more ideas and money.
Awards On
Intelligence Writings
On April 21, 1981, the National Intelligence
Study Center (whose President is AFIO member,
Dr. Ray S. Cline), presented its fourth annual
awards for the best writing on American intelli-
gence by American writers 1980.
The Book Award of $ 1000 went to our fellow-
member and nationally syndicated columnist Cord
Meyer, for his book "Facing Reality; From World
Federalism To The CIA" (Harper and Row).
The award, including $500 prize, for the best
scholarly writing, went to Dr. Richard K. Betts of the
Brookings Institution for three articles he produced
during 1980. Dr. Betts also won this award in
1978.
For the best journalist writing on intelligence
matters, the award, including $500, was presented
to the Wall Street Journal for two reportorial
articles written by David Ignatius and for three edi-
torials written by William Kucewitz of that paper.
Appreciation
Mr. and Mrs. Harold Ransburg of Indianapolis,
Indiana visited Washington in May and included a
visit to AFIO Headquarters to hear about our
current programs and plans for future education
oriented projects. Upon their return home, Mr.
Ransburg sent us the largest donation AFIO has
ever received, for which we are deeply grateful.
This gift will certainly help us to expand our
activities in support of a stronger intelligence
service.

New AF/0 Nominating
Procedures for Members of
Board of Directors
In seeking to open the selection of its leadership to
the full membership as much as possible, AFIO is
attempting to locate nominees for its Board of Directors
from the national membership prior to the next national
convention. AFIO's advisory council has submitted to
President Maury the following:
At the 1978 National Convention, nine members
were elected to the Board of Directors. Their three-year
terms expire to this year. One additional vacancy also
exists because Jack Blake has resigned due to his
current job as staff director of the Senate Select
Committee on Intelligence.
The Board may reduce these vacancies to five.
Whatever number of vacancies is decided upon, how-
ever, the following nominating procedures should be
considered to encourage greater participation in AFIO
affairs by all its members:
Article IV A of the By-Laws states that "The Board of
Directors shall consist of not less than fifteen (15) nor
more than twenty (20) members elected by a majority of
those members present at the Annual National Conven-
tion who are eligible to vote." Article IX C of the Articles
of Incorporation sets the term of office of members of the
Board at three (3) years. Article XI A of the Articles of
Incorporation requires the Board to meet "not less than
annually for the conduct of appropriate business" and
Article IX A of the Articles of Incorporation charges the
Board with "the basic responsibility for the conduct of
(AFIO) affairs", the determination of basic policies, and
the review of activities of AFIO.
KGB Role in Bloc
Intelligence in the U.S.
In a revealing article originally written for the
American Bar Association's June 1981 Intelligence
Report, David Martin, a veteran of almost 20 years as a
Senate staffer, and as senior analyst for the Senate sub-
committee on Internal Security, summarizes the testi-
mony of a senior Czech STB (State Security Service)
defector. We re-print the major portion of Mr. Martin's
piece because it re-confirms and updates the role of the
KBG as the master-service in the Soviet Bloc, using the
East European services as extensions of its own activity.-
All Communist bloc intelligence activities are sub-
ordinate to and coordinated by the Soviet KGB, accord-
ing to Joseph Frolik, a 17-year veteran of the Czecho-
slovak intelligence service (STB or State Security Ser-
vice) and one of the most senior eastern intelligence
agents to defect to the west since World War II. In
executive testimony before a Senate Judiciary subcom-
mittee in November 1975, Frolik stated:
The planning, the targeting, and the content of the
efforts of the Czechoslovak intelligence service are
directed and coordinated by the KGB which uses the
human and material resources of the intelligence
services of the other countries of the so-called
Socialist camp in a similar manner.
Although Frolik's major experience was in Great
Britain, he also served for a period of time in the
Washington embassy, and he was broadly knowledge-
able, based on his many years of service and his
seniority, about Czechoslovak intelligence operations
throughout the Free World.
(cont'd on page 9)
Calibre of Board Members
Members of the Board must be willing to devote the
time needed to do the job, particularly since no more
than five of them are chosen to serve as the Executive
Committee "to provide interim advice and assistance to
the President" of AFIO. The Board members, and of
course the Officers, set the image of AFIO. Therefore,
members of the Board should be people of stature with
judgment and experience in a variety of fields, such as
journalism, public relations, congressional relations,
research, business and industry, legislation, etc.
The Board and the Officers should give considera-
tion now to identifying such people throughout the
country who could be induced to join AFIO, with the view
of making them Board members. In addition, those
members who have served AFIO in a variety of capacities
at headquarters or in other parts of the country should
also be considered for election as Board members.
The geographic membership of the board should be
representative of the geographical distribution of our
membership. An important consideration in selecting
Board members should be, to the extent possible, to
have representation on the Board of former members of
each of the intelligence agencies, similar to the make-up
of the Advisory Council. This should help in recruitment
drives for new members and help answer all allegations
of one-agency domination of AFIO.
Role of the Nominating Committee
Article VII B of the By-Laws provides for the
Chairman of the Board or the President of AFIO to
appoint a Nominating Committee to select and present
the names of proposed Board members to be elected at
the annual National Convention. The Nominating Com-
mittee should have the benefit of the best suggestions
from the entire AFIO membership which should be
encouraged to submit the names of proposed Board
members. Prior to the October convention, names of
prospective Board members should be solicited by the
Board as well as the Nominating Committee.
This will make it possible to ensure full participation
by all AFIO members in choosing AFIO's governing body.
This does not change the provision of Article VII B of the
By-Laws that "Such nominations maybe made from the
floor of the Convention."

MASTER SPY, A TRUE STORY OF ALLIED ESPIONAGE IN BOL-
SHEVIK RUSSIA, By Edward Van Der Rhoer. Charles Scribner's
Sons. $ 14.95
The State Within A State
THE KGB: THE EYES OF RUSSIA, by Harry Rositzke. Doubleday,
$ 14.95
A word of warning: this is not another definitive or systematic
study of this enormous and quite possibly most effective internal
security and external espionage apparatus the world has ever seen.
To read this book is a little bit like asking an old soldier to describe his
career. Rositzke, in effect, draws up his chair closer to the fire, tamps
and lights his pipe and starts reminiscing about something he has
steeped himself in for almost 40 years - the Soviet empire and its
intelligence apparatus.
The results are mixed. This book is an amalgam of autobiography,
shrewd conclusions of the weaknesses and strengths of the KGB
from its inception as the Bolshevik CHEKA in 1917, titillating
incidents of success and disaster for the KGB, and occasional
hectoring, such as his section "The Decay of Moral Allegiance" at
the end. (I can understand Rositzke's dismay at the "me-too"
generation in this country but I am convinced that the residuum of
patriotism is far deeper in the U.S. than he dares to hope.)
To intelligence professionals, there is precious little that is new
in Rositzke's book but he is, if nothing else, entertaining. His best
chapters are those in which he relates what he knows best: how the
Soviets operate in New York City or Washington, where the KGB
numbers run into the hundreds. He also effectively describes their
activities in Germany, India and Mexico. Rositzke knows this terrain
extremely well, including the role of the east European services as
"knecht-dienste", lackeys to the KGB. Of these, as he points out, the
East Germans are the KGB's best operatives and have literally
riddled the West German government and security services at their
highest levels for 35 years.
As I mentioned, this is not a tidy book. Rositzke oscillates back
and forth from post-war Communist Party apparatuses in the U.S.
run (and not very deftly) by the KGB, to the British phalanx of traitors
(Philby-McLean-Burgess-Blake) and master agents (the Krogers and
Gordon Lonsdale), and back again. You can pick up this book on any
page and start reading on a non-sequitur basis items of interest on
Soviet techniques, outlooks, and deeds. There are many tidbits I
never had read before (or perhaps have forgotten) such as the report
that Walter Lippmann's secretary was a member of the Communist
spy ring in Washington. It takes one's breath away to recall how the
Western Democracies were so throughly penetrated by the KGB and
those doing its bidding, in the immediate post-World War II world.
In some other aspects, Rositzke is badly uninformed. One of
these is his summing up of the KGB role in international terrorism.
He says ..."there were no signs of any foreign involvement, much
less KGB contacts, in the work of ... the Baader Meinhof group in
Germany or the Red Brigades in Italy ..." But the Czech general
Sejna, who defected in 1968 and who lives in the U.S., has given
documentary information that the entire leadership of the Red
Brigades, including its erratic and wealthy founder, the Italian
publisher Feltinelli, were trained in the 1960's in urban terrorism, in
camps in Czechoslovakia specifically set up by the KGB and run by
them. As for the Baader-Meinhof group, its defectors have told the
western world of their training in Soviet-created terrorist camps in
Yemen, Iraq, Cuba, Lebannon, Libya, and East Europe. As for the
PLO, the evidence is now ample that one out of every 10 of its cadre
has been trained in terrorism inside the USSR, and that it is under
close Soviet control.
This lapsus is, however, secondary to the fact that Rostizke has
given us an entertaining and highly personalized account of the KGB
through his eyes. He tells a long rambling story but the subject is
close and known to him. The eyes of Russia are myriad although
they can be astigmatic. With Rositzke, the KGB, "the state within a
state", emerges into full view, warts and all.
The Man the Cheka Wanted
The story of Sidney George Reilly, with aliases, at times boggles
the mind. Mr. Van Der Rhoer has stitched together the disparate bits
and pieces of his life as skillfully and readably as possible and yet, in
death as in life, Reilly is shrouded in mystery, legend, and contro-
versy. The man himself made every effort to cover his origins and his
tracks, indeed his very name. The proof of who he really was and who
he really worked for is, perhaps, available only in the KGB archives in
Moscow if indeed the Cheka files of 60 years ago still exist; many of
them have been purged in the vicious in-fighting that went on from
Dzerzhinski up to Beria's time.
We are fairly certain of a few facts: that he was born Sigmund
Georgevich Rosenblum in Odessa, Russia, in 1874, son of wealthy
Russian Jewish parents. He apparently went to Vienna to study,
joined a Marxist group there and was arrested by the Czarist
Okhrana when he returned to Russia. Released through his father's
influence, he broke permanently with his family and Odessa and, by
his mid-20s was making a mercantile career for himself in St.
Petersburg (now Leningrad) and in England.
His first marriage, to a young Irish woman, in 1898 (whom he
stole from her husband) enabled him to assume his new name,
Reilly, derived from his wife's family and which he generally used for
the rest of his life when dealing with his peers. (Interesting that he
retained all his life the English equivalent of his born name and
patronymic).
Well before the first World War he had become an agent for SIS,
the British secret service, and he executed espionage assignments
against Germany for SIS before and during that World War. By 1918,
he was 44 years old, a lover of high life, an inveterate woman-
chaser, and a collector of books, paintings and Napoleonic memora-
bilia.
By 1918, he had also become obsessed with a cause, "to
smother Bolshevism in its cradle," - an anti-Bolshevik crusade. He
became a feverish political-action agent against the new Bolshevik
regime, and it was in this doomed cause that he worked until he was
tricked into returning to Russia for the last time in 1925.
Van Der Rhoer has done his homework well, and documents
Reilly's incredible career as a free-wheeling, peripatetic agent of
many identities and covers, a man who lived as a cheerful bigamist
most of his adult life (he was married three times) in addition to his
numberless female conquests along the way.
Reilly's audacity is hard to believe. On 7 May 1918, the day he
arrived in Moscow in the uniform of a British captain, he walked up to
the Kremlin gate and boldly asked to see Lenin. (He was extricated
from this scrape only by the swift intervention of Bruce-Lockhart, the
SIS man in Moscow). By the end of 1918, with his plots to overthrow
the Bolshevik regime completely foiled, he had fled, barely escaping
the Cheka's clutches. He was sentenced to death in absentia.
For half a decade, his clandestine operations, with and without
SIS sponsorship, continued as did his obsession with overthrowing
the Soviets. Winston Churchill became a confidant as did other top
British officials. He linked up with Boris Savinkov, the famed SR
activist who had created an apparent large underground movement
against the Soviet regime. Savinkov himself warrants a book of his
own including the still-puzzling fact that he voluntarily returned to
Russia to be tried by the regime and eventually was killed by the

The author cannot fill in many blank spots. Virtually nothing is
known of the first half of Reilly's life, where he became "hooked" on
Russian patriotism, or what led him to live so deviously all his life.

INTELLIGENCE: THE HUMAN DIMENSION
AFIO's 7th Annual National Convention will pro-
vide a stimulating and informative program to update
last year's look at some of the major challenges to the
intelligence community in the decade of the eighties.
This time we'll have at least two panels of knowl-
edgeable guests to illuminate the dark corners of
international terrorism and covert political action tar-
geted against the U.S. by our main adversaries. Focus
will be on the human dimension both by these panels
and by prominent guest speakers in a position to speak
with authority on U.S. national security and intelli-
gence problems.
Under the chairmanship of Col. Bob Roth, your
Convention Committee has succeeded in holding down
costs while upgrading the quality of facilities for this
year's gathering. We'll have access to two hospitality
suites on the 9th floor, and exclusive use of the
"Wickers" for pre-luncheon and -banquet refresh-
ments. In addition, there will be door prizes at the recep-
tion, free cosmetic goods and services for the ladies, a
new line of souvenirs (including AFIO T-shirts), and
some added fringe benefits cited below.

Recent Books On Intelligence
Current books on intelligence are briefly reviewed below for
members' interest.
BARRON, John. MiG Pilot: The Final Escape of Lieutenant
Belenko. New York: Reader's Digest Press (McGraw-Hill Book
Co.), 1980. 224 p. (pap. N. Y.: Avon Books, 1981).
MiG Pilot tells the story of the defection of Viktor Ivanovich
Belenko in his MiG-25 Foxbat from Chuguyevka in the Soviet Far
East to Hakodate on the Japanese island of Hokkaido and thence to
the United States. But the story does not end, as in most defector
memoirs, with Belenko's arrival in the States. A good half of the book
is devoted to an account, through the eyes of the defector, of his
debriefing and resettlement. It is this segment of the book which
proves to be far more fascinating than the rather routine drama of
the escape itself Written in the chatty Reader's Digest style, the
book is a useful addition to the lore of Soviet defectors.
The Man the Cheka Wanted
MASTER SPY by Edward Van Der Rhoer
(cont'd from page 6)
This book concentrates on the half dozen years from 1918 on to his
arrest in Russia in 1925, when he was barely 50 years old.
But we do learn a great deal about the penetration by the Cheka
counter-espionage of the entire Russian emigre movement includ-
ing the famed "The Trust" whose personages (actually Cheka
double-agents) led Reilly to his doom.
One major premise of Van Der Rhoer's must be challenged: his
theory, pieced together in the Epilogue, that Reilly was really a Cheka
double-agent all along. In this regard, it is curious that the author,
who has carefully examined all the intelligence literature on the
period, does not mention one Vladmir Brunovsky whose book
"Methods of the OGPU- was written in 1931. In that work, he tells of
an episode in 1927 when he had been released from an OPGU cell
and was back in Latvia. His tailor, repairing an overcoat Brunovsky
wore in prison, found bits and pieces of paper Brunovsky had sewed
into the lining to remember key incidents. One such scrap, which
Brunovsky heard in 1926 from a mysterious British spy being held in
the same Butyrski prison, contained the words "Persia Listy".
Brunovsky didn't understand what these words meant ("Listy" in
Russian means "father in law"). When he published this story,
however, Reilly's widow and former SIS colleagues, pointed out that
Reilly may well have been tapping out in English not "Listy" but the
word ,"ST-1 " which happened to have been Reilly's secret cryptonym
with SIS for years. Would a Cheka double-agent have sent such a
cryptic message to indicate he was alive?
Never mind. Master Spy is a fascinating book about a fascinating
man. Of mysterious origins, he died under equally mysterious
circumstances. We don't even know in what year or month he died,
or where.
This book also should remind us of a very important fact: that
over 60 years ago, Soviet counter-espionage already was brilliantly if
ruthlessly effective in penetrating and containing opposition groups.
Reilly may have been a master spy but it was his fate to come up
against master counter-spies.
CALVOCORESSI, Peter. Top Secret Ultra. New York: Pantheon
Books, 1980. 132 p.
This short book focuses on one aspect of intelligence during
World War II: the breaks into German high grade ciphers by a
congeries of talented people (located at the British code and cipher
center at Bletchley Park), and the exploitation of such breaks. It is the
author's evaluation of a "single but extraordinary" source of tactical
and strategic intelligence information by a working-level insider
(who rose to be the chief air intelligence officer in this field at
Bletchley). The author assesses the impact of cryptologic break-
throughs on the course of the war against Germany. While his
primary work involved the air aspects of this decrypted material,
Calvovoressi also writes of its impact on ground and naval services
as well. Top Secret Ultra is a lean, lucid, and authoritative book its
main fault is that its historical exposition is almost totally devoid of
the names of the participants in this work.
TROY, Thomas F. Donovan and the CIA: A History of the
Establishment of the Central Intelligence Agency. Washington:
Central Intelligence Agency. Center for the Study of Intelligence,
1981. Apps., charts, illus. Bibl. notes. Bibl. 589 p.
This volume is a study of the development of the concept of
centralized intelligence in American, 1939-47. The author has had
access to large numbers of the classified documents on this subject
from the military intelligence services and the JCS, as well as those
of OSS. Many have been declassified or sanitized for this book,
originally produced in classified form. Troy describes the internecine
warfare as old-line intelligence organizations (particularly G-2 and
the FBI) battled for their own turf and tried to block the newly-
organized OSS and subsequently the establishment of CIG and CIA.
The documentation for this book has been brilliantly researched in
Presidential libraries, as well as in the sources noted above and
through personal interviews. The excellent writing makes it essen-
tial reading for those wishing to learn of this subject matter, and the
book is important for the professional intelligence officer and
scholars in general.
SAKHAROV, Vladimir (Nikolayevich) and Umberto Tosi.High
Treason. New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1980. 318 p. No index.
This is a provocative autobiography of one of the Soviet "Golden
Youth," a son of the party-privileged "New Class," well-connected
by multiple family ties with the security service. As a defector to U.S.
intelligence at age 26, he is one of the youngest knowledgeable ones
on record. Sakharov's story, first told by John Barron in a chapter of
his book, KGB (1974), emerges from this more detailed account of
his Ministry of Foreign Affairs career as an Arabic language expert
and KGB co-optee, as a CIA agent in place, and as a new American,
thoroughly turned-off by his resettlement handling in the U.S. The
book is important for its insights into a significant element of the
Soviet ruling class and as a continuing reminder of the many-faceted
problems of defectors and defection.
CRUICKSHANK, Charles G. Deception In World War II. New
York: Oxford University Press, 1979. 248 p.
As an outline of British and American deception operations in
Europe in World War II, this book is highly useful and well-written.
Mr. Cruickshank has arranged his material in a manner that is easily
accessible and, considering the subject, very clear. Unfortunately,
the author does not use any of the available Axis sources to
determine the effectiveness of the operations, but relies on the
Allies' own appraisal of their success or failure. Nevertheless, the
book should prove interesting and informative to both the experi-
enced and the novice.

Notes From National
Car Rental Discounts for AFIO
As of June 1, 1981, National Car Rental is placing
the name of AFIO on its roster of organizations entitled to
car rental discounts. The rate will be that currently
offered to the U.S. Government. These discount rates
are available for members' personal and business use.
AFIO members need only to show their AFIO member-
ship card to National Car Rental desk personnel to
receive this discount. Please inform us if this offer is not
made available to you in your region of the country.
AFIO Directory
The annual AFIO directory of members, which is
included with this copy of Periscope, has two new
features which we hope will be of assistance to our
members. The first of these is the format with members'
names in alphabetical order and allowing space for you
to insert local telephone numbers. Secondly, we are
listing members by states which we hope will aid the
regional chapters in locating new AFIO members in their
areas.
Delay In Speakers Kit
We regret that your requests for speakers kits have
not been answered to date. Our News Commentary
Editor, Hans Moses, is working on the new kit but has
been delayed in completing this sizeable task. All back
orders will be filled at the old price. Price of the kit in
subsequent orders will be $5.
Our Need For Donations
When members forward their checks in payment of
annual dues, we would very much appreciate it if they
could consider making an additional donation to AFIO. At
the bottom of the dues form, you will note a specific line
for such donations. We very much need your help and
we are trying very hard not to raise AFIO annual dues.
Tell Us If You Want To Speak
It would be helpful for our National headquarters to
receive information on AFIO members who might be
willing to give talks on intelligence at various functions in
their area. Should you indicate your willingness to do so,
we intend to keep a current list ready when we are
approached for such speakers by outside organizations.
It would also be useful for members willing to speak
publicly, to give this information to their local chapter as
well.
New Idea To Find New Members
Our membership committee has continued to come
up with new ideas to obtain names of potential AFIO
members. One interesting effort is an agreement with
the Phoenix Society of the National Security Agency to
include an invitation in its June newsletter to join AFIO.
Dr. Louis W. Tordella, a member of AFIO's Board Directors
and a former Deputy Director of NSA, is handling this
effort. Our greatest need remains that of obtaining
names and lists of persons who are interested in AFIO
and are eligible to join it.
AFIO Chapter Activities
Florida: On 21 May, 1981, the Suncoast Chapter
had a final season's meeting in the St. Petersburg area
with a record attendance of 75 including six prospective
new members. Ed Kray, AFIO state chairman was
present and announced that Captain (USN Ret) Robert A.
Dowd, formerly President of the Suncoast Chapter, was
designated as AFIO vice-chairman for Florida.
California: Lee E. Echols, AFIO state chairman for
California, gave a well-received speech to 160 members
of the El Cajon Women's Club of El Cajon, California on
May 8, 1981. Mr. Echols reports that a sizeable AFIO
delegation from Arizona will join AFIO California mem-
bers for their annual San Diego Bay cruise in August.
San Francisco Bay Area Chapter: An election of
officers was held on January 12, 1981 of the Bay Area
Chapter at the Presidio Officers' Club in San Francisco.
The following officers were elected: President, Charles
E. Hayden (Col AUS Ret); Vice President, Ralph T. Hunt,
(Col. USA, Ret); Vice President/Programs, Margaret H.
Ruddock; Secretary, Robert J. Agostinho, (Col. USAF
Ret); and Treasurer, Frank Croara. Monthly meetings
have been held since that time and a speakers bureau is
being established under E. P. Peters (LTC, USA, Ret). Col.
Hayden, the Chapter's President, addressed the Navy
League in May 1981 and Alvin Buckelew, on the faculty
of Golden Gate University, spoke to the Chapter at its
May meeting on "The CIA and the KGB".
New York: At a meeting of over 40 members of the
New York Chapter, presided over by AFIO state chairman
Derek A.Lee, on 26 May 1981, Harris Greene, Periscope
editor at National headquarters, spoke on the role of the
Soviet Union in international terrorism. Mr. Greene
pointed to the growing evidences of Soviet encourage-
ment of terrorist groups at work in western democra-
cies, including elements who are not openly supporting
the USSR and in some cases those who are right-wing
personalities.
Texas: We note that the Lone Star Chapter in San
Antonio, Texas, wrote a strong and effective letter on
April 27 to the San Antonio Express, strongly supporting
HR-4, signed by the Chapter's president Tex Little and
challenging the American Civil Liberties Union and the
journalism fraternity, Sigma Delta Chi, to a public debate
on that pending legislation. We encourage our chapters
to write to their local media about such matters of
legtimate concern to AFIO and its chapters.
AFIO Lapel Pins
We have finally received the delayed shipment of
AFIO lapel pins and have filled all back-orders. You may
order any number of these pins at $5.00 each by writing
us at national headquarters.

Periscope Sightings
? Our President, Jack Maury, has been busy with
speaking engagements around the country emphasizing
themes on national intelligence and defense. On May 8,
Jack also appeared before Senator Jeremiah Denton's
sub-committee on security and terrorism, of the Senate
Judiciary Committee, and made a strong statement of
support for S-391 which seeks to prohibit unauthorized
disclosure of identification of American intelligence
officers, agents, and informants under cover.
? On April 5, Maury and Frank McNamara appeared
at Columbia University on a seminar sponsored by Rep.
Ted Weiss (D, NY), on the topic of national security
versus civil rights. Also participating in the seminar were
Jerry Berman of ACLU, and Morton Halperin of the
Center for National Security Studies.
? AFIO member William Johnson was a member of
the Committee which conducted the 34th annual Con-
ference on World Affairs, 5-10 April 1981 at the
University of Colorado. Former CIA officers (and current
AFIO members) Newton (Scotty) Miler and Harry Rositzke
were highly effective participants in such seminars as
"The Realities of Spying and Covert Action", "India",
"Diplomacy", "The Law, The Press, and Ethics", "China",
"Counter-intelligence: Catching Thieves; Using Thieves",
and ""KGB and CIA". Former DDCI, Lt. General (USA,
Ret) Marshal Carter (and a current member of AFIO's
Board of Directors) presided over the plenary session
"KGB and CIA" at which Rositzke was the principal
speaker. We are advised that both Miler and Rositzke
were so well received that the Conference Committee by
acclamation agreed to invite them back in 1982.
KGB Role in Bloc
Intelligence in U.S.
Frolik testified that the United States was the
principal target of the vast intelligence network directed
by the KGB, and that the Czechoslovak intelligence
service, as part of this network, seeks to infiltrate the
U.S. Government at all levels and in all departments.
He also stated that-
? The Czechoslovak intelligence service has trained
terrorists from the Arab countries, Mozambique, and
Angola;
? It has conducted many assassinations and kidnap-
pings, and that it had, in 1967, planned to murder
President DeGaulle of France in a manner calculated to
throw suspicion on CIA;
? It seeks to increase chaos and sometimes to
partially paralyze target countries . . . by encouraging
and supporting demonstrations, and by resorting to
special operations, including terrorism and sabotage;
? It had, at one point, so penetrated Radio Free
Europe in Munich that it was able to use the RFE to
transmit code words and slogans to Czech agents in the
West.
Frolik identified by name many of the Czechoslovak
intelligence service operatives in the United States and
in other countries, and he charged a number of them
with the responsibility for kidnappings and assassina-
tions. For example, among the prominent Czechoslovaks
he identified as agents of the State Security Service
(STB) was Premysl Koci, the Director of Prague National
Theater, who, he said, "was used as a prostitute in the
campaign against Swiss national, Anne Achermann."
Frolik said that, based on his experience in several
"residenturas" (resident intelligence headquarters), he
estimated that 60 percent of all the diplomatic personnel
at the Czechoslovak Embassy in Washington and 50
percent of the non-diplomatic personnel at the Embassy
were intelligence agents.
About the special attention devoted to the U.S.
Embassy in Prague by the National Security Service,
Frolik said the following:
Every clerk, secretary, driver, gardener, janitor,
porter, translator, maid, governess, and Czech lan-
guage instructor must have as the primary qualifi-
cation for his or her activity a successful and good
record as an agent of some part of the STB and must
be an agent who is reliable above all others. Measures
surrounding auxiliary personnel go to such detail that
even the street sweepers in front of the Embassy and
the residence of the Ambassador are members of
STB. Every repairman who enters the building is an
officer of Directorate 6 of the STB - the operational-
technical directorate of the STB. These individuals
include even the chimney sweeps who, from time to
time, come to clean the chimneys of the buildings, or
even workers of the sewer service employed by the
National Committee of the city of Prague.

KGB Role in Bloc
Intelligence in U.S.
(continued from page 9)
About the attacks on the intelligence community in
the United States, Mr. Frolik said:
Personally, I think that the intelligence organiza-
tions of the entire Communist bloc do not believe their
own eyes when they see what is happening in the
United States today. Perhaps they view the entire
crazy campaign raging around the intelligence organi-
zation as some kind of unprecedented provocation
against themselves. It is absolultely essential for the
legislative system to have thorough and extensive
control over intelligence organizations so as to have
the opportunity, at any given time, to take measures to
prevent these organizations from slipping from its
grasp and destroying the system of constitutional
liberties in the land. This striptease of the intelligence
organizations, which is carried out before the tele-
vision cameras and in the pages of the American
press on a daily basis, is an act which causes
irreparable damage to the entire non-Communist
world.
Perhaps in their naive belief that one is fighting
against the danger of dictatorship from the right,
various people fail to realize that they are preparing
the way for the dictatorship of the left with giant steps.
Before the Communists seized power, such people
also existed in my country and they then became the
first victims of the Communist executioners and
concentration camps.

A Report From Jack Maury
From The President's Desk:
Membership Alone Isn't The Answer
Membership has been doing fine lately. We're up to
about three thousand and growing. But with costs of
publications, running the office, preparing testimony,
answering mail, and all the incidentals of an organiza-
tion this size, we still can't do all that needs to be done.
Which brings to mind a suggestion. As we all know,
every visit by the postman brings eloquent pleas for
contributions to worthy - and sometimes not so worthy
- causes. Most of us have long since adopted one or two
or three favorites which we support. Others solve the
problem by writing a single check each year to
consolidated campaign. But this year I wonder if some of
our AFIO members and friends who have not yet decided
what contributions to make, and to whom, might think
about AFIO as a deserving beneficiary.
Remember, whatever you give to AFIO is fully tax-
deductible. You needn't wonder how your donation will
be spent; it will be spent strictly in accord with the AFIO
charter: to "promote public understanding of the role of
American Intelligence by means of education and dis-
semination of factual material to all segments of the
American public." Our books are open for your inspec-
tion at any time. And, as you will preceive when you
visit us, you need not worry about excessive overhead
and high-living at headquarters. In our modest two-room
suite we have only two (inadequately) paid staffers.
When AFIO officers from national headquarters and
local chapters travel in response to speaking invitations
and the hosts have no funds to reimburse them, or when
they travel on other AFIO business, they pay their ex-
penses out of their own pockets. In the past three
months alone, these privately paid expenses have
totalled several thousand dollars.
AFIO is not only a lean organization - it is a
uniquely effective organization. Many patriotic groups
are active in the overt arena of present cold-war battles.
They regularly publicize, educate and testify on matters of
foreign policy, national defense and internal security.
But AFIO, because of the professional background of its
membership, alone among such organizations is quali-
fied to speak with authority on the covert side of the cold-
war battles - on the issues of intelligence, counter-
intelligence, covert action, terrorism, disinformation,
subversion and the like. In this area, our intelligence
community is our nation's first line of defense, and AFIO
is its unofficial but authoritative champion in the forum
of public discussion.
Office Needs at Headquarters
Our AFIO national headquarters is urgently in need
of donated furniture, especially a secretary's desk,
folding chairs, a typing table or small utility table and a
small bookcase. Our plea is addressed to those AFIO
members in the Washington DC area. Please phone us if
you have these items you can spare. We would be most
grateful for such donations.
You may be sure that our domestic adversaries in this
discussion, who actively seek to distort the facts and
discredit the purposes of our intelligence agencies, are
rich in talent, resources and high-level connections.
Perhaps we'll never be able to match them in funds, but
with a little priming of the pump we can do a lot. We
especially suffer from lack of "front end" money to
expand our publication and speaking activity, and per-
haps to follow up on several interesting proposals for
preparing publications for use in universities, libraries,
and other public institutions where authoritative and
object material on the intelligence business is woefully
lacking. (In this regard, see our article on page 3.)
Finally, for the benefit of those among us who have
traditionally favored social programs in their charitable
bequests, it might be well to recall the words of the late
British Air Marshall, Sir John Slessor: "in democratic
countries there is a tendency to forget that the most
important social service a government can do for its
people is to keep them alive and free."
In the last analysis, that's really what our intelli-
gence agencies, and hence AFIO, are all about. So when
we think about deductible contributions this year, let's
not forget AFIO - and remember - "charity begins at
home!"
