3/21/78 HSCA interview with both of the Manells. Page 2 makes it clear they changed their names just slightly from “Gerald F. Gestetner” to “Herbert Gestetner”, and from “L.A. Dillinger” to “Barbara Dillenger”: "His main duty was to get information on Soviet personnel and their activities for recognition purposes and for espionage/counter-espionage activities. In line with these goals Mr. Gestetner was responsible for processing the product of telephone, photographic, and physical surveillance of the Soviet embassy and Soviet personnel." pp. 8-9: "Dillenger and Gestetner remembered that information from the taps would usually have been reported within a day or two of receipt of the transcripts...the photo operation attempted to get a picture of every foreigner in contact with the (Soviet) Embassy." At page 14: "Melvin Beck was an outside agent involved in the recruitment and running of agents. He worked for Gestetner."
