Pseudonym: Cawood, Paul
Two cables to Ottawa in 1973 were for Eyes Only Cawood.
Cleveland C. Cram's obituary in The Washington Post in January of 1999 stated that "in the course of his career, Dr. Cram had two lengthy assignments in London; he was the agency's deputy station chief during one of the postings. He headed the British desk at CIA headquarters in the late 1950s and early 1960s. He later was station chief in the Netherlands and the CIA representative to the NATO Security Committee. His final assignment was as station chief in Canada. He retired in 1975."
In addition, a FBI memo on August 12, 1971, stated that "Cleveland C. Cram is the CIA representative in Ottawa." This was still the case until at least June of 1972.
Cleveland C. Cram's assignments in London and his final assignment as station chief in Canada appears to match those of Paul R. Cawood. Therefore, it is probable that Paul R. Cawood was a pseudonym for Cleveland C. Cram.
On December 12, 1960, Maurice Oldfield, of MI-6, sent a letter to Cleveland Cram on Alberto Fernandez and his group: https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=225777#relPageId=1

07/15/63: Cable from London to Director: RYBAT AELADLE: IMMEDIATE ACTION: "1. Following will be summary of ref cables which reported in detail on breaking of AELADLE (Anatoliy Golitsyn) story in press here plus station comment. Affair began when Daily Telegraph correspondent approached aliens dept of Home Office at noon 11 July with story that Telegraph had heard from their U.S. contact that Russian had defected in U.S. and was later brought to U.K. This story was immediately reported to JAGUAR (MI-5). SMEARER told Cawood that SMARTY took position that press must not be deluded because since they were clearly on to AELADLE. A 'no comment' response would be confirmatory and a denial..."
07/17/63: Cable from London to Director: RYBAT AELADLE: REF: LOND 3485 (IN 79667): "Cawood discussed with (REDACTION) 17 July whether there was any new info re AELADLE's (Anatoliy Golitsyn) reactions to events of last weekend. (REDACTION) said there had been unusual reactions from AELADLE and during whole affair he had very much kept his head and a good sense of balance about whole matter. (REDACTION) believes barring publication of picture or very accurate physical description (which can only be fed in by RIS) he believes it most unlikely AELADLE will be detected although he says obviously one can never rule out the inquisitive busybody who may decide someone is suspicious and might, in such instance, accurately finger AELADLE. On other hand, he noted that wrong physical description put out by Daily Telegraph on person they misidentified as AELADLE should give AELADLE a bit of additional protection. (REDACTION) said laying on arrangements for AELADLE's secure reception and disposition in UK had been a very testing task and it was because he thought (REDACTION) had been so successful that he was all the more dismayed and discouraged by leakage of last weekend."

01/13/1999: Obituary of Cleveland C. Cram by J. Y. Smith in The Washington Post: IN THE OBITUARY JAN. 13 OF CLEVELAND C. CRAM, A MEMBER OF A BRITISH SPY RING WAS MISIDENTIFIED. HE WAS ANTHONY BLUNT. (PUBLISHED 01/14/99): "Cleveland C. Cram, 81, a retired CIA official who made an influential and highly critical study of James J. Angleton, the legendary and controversial spymaster who headed the agency's counterintelligence branch for 20 years during the Cold War, died of congestive heart failure Jan. 8 at his home in Washington. Dr. Cram, holder of master's and doctoral degrees in history from Harvard University, joined the CIA in 1950 and specialized in counterintelligence. He played a part in the U.S.-British effort to unmask 'Kim' Philby, a British intelligence officer and Soviet spy who fled to Moscow in 1963 before he could be apprehended. Philby was a member of a highly effective spy ring that began at Cambridge University in the 1930s and included Guy Burgess, Donald Maclean and Anthony Burgess. In the course of his career, Dr. Cram had two lengthy assignments in London; he was the agency's deputy station chief during one of the postings. He headed the British desk at CIA headquarters in the late 1950s and early 1960s. He later was station chief in the Netherlands and the CIA representative to the NATO Security Committee. His final assignment was as station chief in Canada. He retired in 1975. The following year, he returned to the agency to do a special project: analyze and report on the work of Angleton, who headed the CIA's counterintelligence operations for 20 years before being forced into retirement in 1974. Officials at the agency wanted the study in an effort to pierce the controversies that had surrounded the counterintelligence chief for years. The basic question was whether he had done the agency more harm than good..."
