1. Mr. J. Sourwine, Chief Counsel,
Internal Security Subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee, called
in behalf of Mr. Kelly, a reporter for the Washington Evening Star, who
was then sitting in Mr. Sourwine's office. According to Mr. Sourwine, Mr.
Kelly was compiling material for a forthcoming article on the plight and
manner in which refugees had escaped the Iron Curtain and other Communist
countries. Mr. Kelly realized that he could not inquire into the manner of
escape of political defectors; however, he would appreciate any leads or
suggestions that the Agency could offer. I suggested that perhaps the recent
plight of the Jews from the Soviet Union might present an effective story.
I also suggested that the State Department might be able to furnish informa-
tion. Mr. Sourwine then requested the name of an Agency official that Mr.
Kelly could talk directly to on this matter. Mr. Angus Thuermer's name
was given. Mr. Thuermer was subsequently alerted' to Mr. Sourwine's 25X1
call.
Picked up from Sourwine 100 copies of a reprint of the text o the
Petr S. Deryabin letter which was put in the Congressional Record by Senator
Eastland yesterday. They were passed on t

as an inducement for him to talk privately with the Senator.
