The two Personality Assessment Questionnaires on AEDIEHARD which were transmitted as separate cover attachments to Reference A were unfortunately not received until 30 September, by which date we knew from a visa cable sent the State Department by the Embassy in Mexico City that AEDIEHARD was departing PCS one week thereafter, on 7 October. Reference B confirmed that departure. 2. Since but one week was available for the completion of the MHCRUSH assessment, and its transmittal to the Station, we decided not to go ahead with it. The PAQ's have been made a part of AEDIEHARD's file, and should he appear in the future outside the USSR, an assessment can be made at that time. Norma W. Letchworth." Originating Officer: D. Davis, SB/X/WH. Coordinating Officers: (Signature), CSB/X/WH. (Signature), SB/CI/O. Releasing Officer: (Signature), C/WH/1.
