1. We are sending under separate *over a list of all
operations and plans for operations coordinated by SETAF with the
Amstrian Station since 1960. A total of 23 individuals is motioned
in the Hitt: sevin arebised'in Austria, eight in Welt Gerianyf O.
4 in Rome; and the reaainder are resident agents in Yugoslavia, .
Buigeria, and Rumania. For the sake of comploteneso we have inoluded
in the list ftll SETAF operations coordinatod with Vienna, not Just
' those to Yugoslavia. Separating out the Yugoslav operations, we can
comment on them as follows:
� 2. SETAF-41r A Catholic Monsignor in Rome; the basic
coordination prosumnhly has been carried out with the
Our position, based on DIE-09841, has boon to try to dissuade SETAF
from using this person who has an odious political pant7-111 the
last year we have heard of no plans to exploit any loads emanating
from 41.
3. 5.Enr-95. A Serbian "firebrand" who lives in Vienna, who
Is deeply involved in emigre activities, and who boasts of his
Illegal trips into Yugoslavia from Austria to contact political
oronies and to distribute oopies of tbe� SUM DORM. in a series
of coordinations in the Spring and Summer of 1962, COS, Austria,
dimagrpgad SETAF from ;Molting up any illegal border orossing leads
emanating from this person. Finding his of littlo value, seTAr
is believed to have dropped his in September, 1962.
A. A -1 A resident of Salzburg, ho spots leode in
Yugoslavia or Ir. He provided the .load to MAY-185, a going
oporatico. Other leads suoh as 120-01 sum never to have
materialized. This agent is met in Salzburg approximatolY unuu a
month.
5. SETAV-129 -01. A 26-year-old government clerk in Belgrade,
who is on aoqualatauee of SETA). -129. Our records indicate this oper-1
alien never got off the ground. .
6. SETAF-134. A 47 -year-old bookkeeper in Klagenfurt who
allegedly runs a network in Yugoslavia on behalf of SETAE'. This is
an old coordination going bank to '1958 add 1960 and it is doubtful
that this proposal ever got very far. We will chouk this out with
SETA? at our next round of coordination*.
7. KA1'AP-185. -A 63-year-old 'history professor in Bolgrado,
who Is debrinfed by SETA? when he travels to the West. Last
' dobrioling took place in Vienna in June 1462. �
8. . Genera/ Consents. Our position with SETAF over the Iasi
year has boon to dlsoourugo Illegal llorder crossing (rinc) operations

smog* to has� grasped our point, for they agreeu not to mount the
SETAF-95 operation last Summer, and ere believed to havo torminatad
him in the Fall 1962. This was the WILY roc proposal put Jorward
by SETA?. Other operatious, such as SETAP-154 proposal, involve
levil travel.

the above paragraph we do not imply that the stopping of TBC'
Operations is a guarantee anInst flaps. A Gorman or Austrian
netlbual bought lu Mel:INLET area on a logal travel mission,

10. Wee Mumbor of Otteratfens Based in Germany. We wish to
cull tho attention of cOS, Germany, to the rolatIvsly Large Lumber or
operations based in Gormsny, end the discrepancy between our
information and that. contained in MO04-14466. In closing we mist add
that we have not discussed The Gerimin-based operations in detail with
MAW, assuming they wore coordinated In Frankfort, so we have no smy
of being sure that operations such as 8ETAF-59 are still active, if
indeed they were over Mounted. The German Station will wiuh to
chock these cases out with SETAF.
11.. Future Flans. A thorough round oi coordinations with SEW
is in order, since It is almost a year ulnae COS cud the undersigned
visited Verona for a comploto run-down of their operations. It ts
anticipated that the SETAF officers will vieJC Vienna this Sprint to
accomplish this end.
