7/7/59 memo on Rudolf Abel and Operational/REDWOOD/LCIMPROVE/BGMORNING: "...with the exception of Reino Hayhanen's speculation that Abel may have been assigned during an undetermined period of time in Norway, France and England, the only other evidence that we have concerning Abel's travels are several items found in his possession at the time of his arrest, which indicate that Abel was at some time in Canada and probably in Mexico. In addition, it is our belief that Abel was a Soviet intelligence operative of long standing...He entered the US on a false passport in November 1948, to serve as a KGB illegal resident, at which position he remained until his arrest in June 1957. He lived in New York City, using the cover of a photographer and artist. Hayhanen was told in Moscow that Subject's primary function in the United States was to recruit new agents and work with them, as well as the previously recruited agents." His physical description was 5 foot 9, 165 pounds. Reminiscent of the "5 foot 10, 165 pound" Oswald, who was actually 5 foot 9, 131 pounds. Had clothing and other items indicating time spent in Mexico.
