. · Approved For Release 2000/08/08 Tev HIDI 96-00788R001600270001-6 DRAWING EXPLANATION #08: Okay, in sketch #1, which is entitled cable drawing is to simply give an idea of what I perceived as being the cable, which is a tubular type thing about 3 inches in diameter with many, many smaller wires twisted around one another, that actually form this cable. And within this cable is a wire which is, what can be identified by its width, in that it is a little bit bigger than the other wires within this huge cable. And I perceive this cable as being the one that will power the electronic gear that is in that room that we previously described. I saw this cable being buried in the rear of the building, about 3 or 4 feet deep and beyond the building is where I indicated that the point of vulnerability might be, is. So I drew an arrow to indicate the entrance and than the rear of the building, so as not to leave any doubt as to where the cable is going to be buried. # 66: Okay. #08: Sketch #2, as I was looking for further vulnerabilities, I just got an image or an impression of the office within the building that is going to to used by the head of this U.S. Delegation and what I've drawn is an overview of the room with the vulnerability point being the chimney, which I get the impression is going simply decorative in nature and not actually used as a fireplace. But I drawn, or I've indicated where it's going to be, in terms of the disposition of the room and then below the overview of the room, short brief sketch of what it should look like in general terms. Do you have any questions on that? #66: Okay. Yea, the vulnerability of the fire place structure is the hollowness? #08: Yes, yes. #66: Okay. I also want to ask you about the a .. basement area. You described the basement area, you said something about cars? #08: I perceived the basement area as being a parking area for automobiles, for the people employed, for our people active within that delegation, working Approved For Release 2000/08/08 :( CIA-RDP96-00788R001600270001-6

And the only vulnerability that I perceived was the use of beepers, not on the official automobiles, but on personal automobiles. #66: By beepers, you mean electronics surveillance devices? #08: Homing, homing devices. # 66: Homing devices? # 08: Yeah, in fact I saw one on a green car, for what that is worth and a sensing of people being very preoccuppied with what they do and being very conscious of what they do. But becoming lax once they come in on their own time and using their own automobiles for whatever. And I say beware of this, don't let your guard down on the personal use of your POVs, because I feel this where they're, you'll probably, you will get hit, for sure. #66: Okay. Now I want to ask about the construction phase, as you monitor the construction phase of this, do you see anything that's actually built into the construction that is a vulnerability? #08: No, no, nothing that would be a, a constructual weakness and I even took a great deal of time and asked the question repeatedly, to look into the walls during and after construction to see if I could perceive something out of the ordinary, such as, bugs, listening devices by whatever name, by whatever type being embedded or implanted there. And I really saw none. # 66: Okay. #08: I did mention the telephones and that came up very, very strong and I do think they will be monitored. #66: Okay. Anything else? #08: No. # 66: Okay, fine.

Source stated substantially as follows : There was no intelligence threat to the structure during its construction. Source reported that an underground cable (drawing 1) near the rear of the building was vulnerable to HOIS tampering and monitoring. Source reported telephone monitoring as a vulnerability. Source also reported a vulnerability (not further identified) in conjunction with a hollow chimney in a false fireplace (drawing 2) in the "Office of Chief U. S. Delegation. " Source was unable to specify why he felt the hollow chimney was vulnerable to a HOIS threat. Source detected a "homing device" on a green, privately owned vehicle (not further identified) located in a parking area for 3rd floor personnel in the basement of the targeted building.
