BY LIAISON
Honorable John A. McCone
Director
Central Intelligence Agency
Administration Building
2430 E Street, Northwest
Washington, D. C.
My dear Mr. McCone:
Your Agency, by letter of November 16, 1961
,
forwarded to this Bureau copies of a publication entitled "Soviet Strategic
Executive Action (A Preliminary Survey). "
Of particular interest to the Federal Bureau of Investigation
was the statement in your document that a report had been received that
Soviet-trained saboteurs were stationed "in critical areas" as of April,
1961, and had received their assignments. Your document indicated that
Washington, D. C. , and New York City had been cited recently as examples
of cities for which the Soviets had "long ago" drawn up sabotage plans, the
details of which are not known.
Through our liaison channels, we have expressed our interest
in further details concerning these matters to the Office of the Deputy
Director, Plans, but I also wish to express to you my interest in specifics
on these items so far as the United States is concerned. Furthermore, this
Bureau would appreciate receiving promptly and in detail any information
relating to Soviet intentions and capabilities in the field of sabotage within
the United States.
We, of course, will continue to disseminate matters of interest
to your Agency on a day-to-day basis as they are received.
Sincerely yours,
25X1
