The entire floor is essentially detached from areas "F" and "H", in other words, you can't gain access to "F" and "H" except through the staircase. And I've indicated with an asterisk the position of the, what I call decorative guards. These are, you know, polished, armed, sentry type guards that stand just inside the door and look pretty. And then there's where the entry check is and exit check is, there's a couple women that check some kind of card going in and out. There's an open entry in the foyer to the cafeteria, what I call a cafeteria, I don't know what it is, some kind of eating area And the kitchen, I perceive, to be in the rear. A staircase and the fancy offices are to the right. But you can only gain entry to them through the entry check. On the other side-are stores and clothes, that kind of thing, you know, like a general services type area. #66: Okay. #01: And it seems like the stores are mostly clothes, but they're like an exclusive store, like if you don't work in this building, you don't have access to the store. And that's it essentially. #66: Okay, fine. #01: And also, there's one other thing I wanted to say. These local towers, at the end of the session, when I went to these towers here, you know are different from the smoke stack type towers. And I went to this tower in particular and I perceived an emitter and receiver type device on top of tower, so there's some kind of relay system, communications relay system. #66: Okay. #01: And that's it. p r n rm 0788ROO1600390001-3 Approved For Release 2000/08,0 Approved For Release 2000/08pr ofg=6-00788 ROO 1600390001-3 %du ;00~ C) \t W- Vk- C-3 imp Approved For Release 2000/08/0 too 001600390001-3 Approved For Release 260/08/08 CIA-R 0788RO0160034ftl-3 A For use of this form, see FM 30 17(C); A R 381-20; the p -pan on t agency is the Office of tho As si &tan# Chi of of Staff for Intol I I Doti Co. mAAd Of SUSJECT OR MILE OF INCIDENI 2.

CONTROL SYMVA OR FILE NUMDER IHU-1029/8307/01 On 26 July 1983, Source Z6-01 was interviewed concerning three areas identified to him as "F", "G", and "H" within a group of unidentified buildings. Source stated substantially as follows: The top two floors of area "Fit were residence type areas (not further identified). On the floor below this was a "chemical lab" which had an X-ray machine, sinks, stone top tables, beakers, and bottles of chemicals (not further identified). on the floors below this there were offices which "go into the "G" area" (not further identified). These offices, or office areas, were large enough for two or three people. The activity in the offices involved "reading and writing, analysis type work" (not further identified). This analysis involved the use of research papers (not further identified), data bits (not further identified), and information (riot further identified) all of which was incomplete (not further identified). Personnel in these offices were of a military civilian inix. There seemed to be more military than civilian and more women that men. When questioned concerning equipment in these offices Source stated, "Just folders, papers, books, desks, file cabinets, (and) bookshelves." SOUrce suri-imarized his knowledge of these offices by stating that they were involved in "some kind of analysis mixed with administrative work" (not further identified). The upper two/three floors of area "G" were all the same. On these floors were moderate sized rooms, five to eight people to a room, with long tables and large stacks of papers everywhere.

Activity in these rooms involved "marking individual papers with blocks, writing notes, transcribing notes, (and) filing papers." All of this activity seemed to have something to do with "identifications and information, people oriented information" (not further identified). Personnel working in these rooms were mostly civilian, but were dressed in some uniform way (not further identified). Personnel were identified as being both male and f emale . When questioned concerning equipment in these rooms Source stated, "None, just papers, files, (and) folders." Source also reported the presence of some typewriters which looked like "standard manuals" but had an unidentified direct, remote equipment connection (not further 'identified). The middle level floors in area "G" were divided into four sections which represented one office (not further identified). In this area there were formally decorated rooms for "directors, controllers" (not further identified). The section divisions were "based on geographics, not, not country, but a special area designation" (riot further identified). These sections appeared similar in personnel, activity, and equipment. The personnel were primarily men, both civilian and militaryt but dressed as civilians. The activity in the area was characterized as being "management, staff, but with control, control type staff" (not further identified) . In addition to general office furniture, Source reported that each directorate had "some kind of special typewriter" which was used for "passing something, relaying something." This "special machine" was electronic and very complicated. 'Instructions' and "requirements" (not further identified) were sent through it before they left the room. It had special kinds of keyboards (riot further identified) . It was "adjustable (through the use of) patch cord squares, wires" (not further identified). Source provided a sketch of the lower floor of area "G" (see attached). Below area "G" were storage areas, heating equipment, and rooms full of coal. On the upper floors of area "H" were rooms containing many cases of booklets. These cases were very organized so that everything was in a certain place; just as in a library, all (continued) 5.

The booklets were approximately six inches by ten inches by one half inch thick . The pages were of thin paper and were serrated in a way so they could be torn from the booklets. These booklets were packed or wrapped two at a time in metal foil (not further identified) which protects them. In an area on a floor below these rooms (not further identified) there were printing presses and cutting machines (not further identified). Somewhere in the lower floors of area "flu, perhaps the ground floor -1 there was a lab or workshop in which miniaturized tools were used to modify or alter small electronic boxes (not further identified). This area may have been a "vault area" or connected to a Ovault area" because there was a wall with a vault door here. Source volunteered, without being asked, that the "E" building had cars parked inside it. Source also volunteered, "Towers in the area are line-of-sight communications facilities, like shielded microwave antennas," In the towers were emitter and receiver type devices which may serve as a com-munications relay system. No further amplifying information concerning SUBJECT was obtained from Source during this interview. AGENT'S NOTES: The "chemical lab" in area "F" identified by Source may be a dispensary or pharmacy. Information provided by Source relevant to descriptions of rooms or offices inay be accurate independent of their locations within buildings . Source is sometimes unable to accurately relate the position of rooms within buildings, or the position of a building within a group of buildings, due to the nature of his access to a targeted area.
