14 February 1977
MEMORANDUM SUBJECT: Tadeus z (Tad) Witold SZULC (201-50539)
- SZULC was born on 25 July 1926 in Warsaw , PolandHe arrived in Brazil fron Lisbon on 3 August 1940 , and came to the U .S . in October 1947 under sponsorship of Anbassador John C . WILEY , the husband of his nother's sister\_ He became a correspondent for the York Tines (NYT) in 1953, and became 8 naturalized U.S . citizen in 1954 by a special Congressional bill. New
- SZULC has been under suspicion as a hostile foreign agent since 1948 when the FBI reported (apparently from a [ritish]source) that he was a Communist. He brought hinself to the attention of CIA in August 1959 in Santiago, Chile by claiming (falsely) to be "cleared" and requesting contact with an Agency representative This was the first of many such incidents in Latin America; and resulted in a warning to all Latin American Stations to beware his efforts to interview Agency personnel\_ It also resulted in continuing watch of his movements and activities because they represented a threat to the cover of Agency personnel \_ By 1960 his reputation was so widespread that several different CIA officers called for an investigation that would clear up "once and for all" his suspected connections with a hostile intelligence service\_ He was in frequent contact with Communist Party leaders and functionaries throughout Latin America, cons tantly sought out and elicited information from Embassy officers,
<!-- image -->
<!-- image -->
frequently mentioning the nane of other CIA officers with whom he was acquainted.
- Although the suspicions have increased, and SZULC' s anti-Agency activities have become much more serious and blatant in the 1970's, it has not been possible to clear up any of the suspicions about his motives OI his possible connections with a foreign intelligence service. There have been numerous reviews of his files and the interest in his activities has extended from the case officer. level to the DCI \_ In fact, it is not possible to cone to any clear conclusion about this man, and the notes below are simply illustrative of the kinds of things that the suspicions alive It is important to note that SZULC ' s activities can be explained by the conbination of his personality, ambition, and the demands on an investigative reporter for the NYT \_ He is an aggressive, insensitive, and persistent journalist with the family connections (Ambassador Wiley) and ability to develop the kinds of contacts appropriate to 8 successful correspondent for a paper like the NYT \_ keep
- Nevertheless , there are elements throughout his entire career that are almost designed to arouse suspicion For example, a British]source in Rio de Janeiro (see Attachnent A) reported that SZULC was "directed" by the Polish regime in Warsaw to seek employnent in journalistic circles This report runs like a thread throughout his file and is repeated and garbled in several versions over the years. The report
2
<!-- image -->
- has never been explained and was apparently never reported in full to [London) by the [British] representative in Rio. This report and other questions that arose early in his carber (his contacts with a cousin who was a Press Attache in the in Rio) were, however , just the earliest elenents that aroused suspicion. adequatelX
- 5 Because he becane s0 well-known to s0 many Agency officers, his name and reputation have become subject of discussion on nany occasions One senior operations officer stated in 1975 that a Soviet agent could not be more beneficial to the Soviets and the Communist cause than SZULC has beenAlthough he presented a generally anti-Communist view prior to qutting the NYT in 1972, it is noteworthy that he arranged extensive, favorable TV coverage of the Communist-dominated Ligas Campesinas in Northeast Brazil and that one of the most important anti-Castro operations 'AMTRUNK , in which he was involved from the beginning, was disastrous for all participants\_ More indicative of his true beliefs, however , are the articles he has written since Watergate. They have become increasingly critical of the CIA and of the USG generally and have danaged U .S . image and prestige-
- 6 \_ The notes below are somewhat randon examples of elements in SZULC' s file that bring him under suspicion As mentioned above, they in no way point to a firm conclusion For further information on SZULC during the period 1963 1964 , see the CI review prepared at Miami Station on Jorge VOLSKY in 1964 .
- a\_ The 1948 FBI report that SZULC was involved in supplying the Polish Legation in Rio with information fron his personal contacts and from Ambassador John C. Wiley has been repeated in various versions throughout SZULC ' s file. The FBI has found similar allegations made by other sources who knew SZULC at that tine\_ In addition, several sources have mentioned SZULC ' s relations with his cousin, Ignacy SACHS who was the Press Attache in the Polish Embassy in 1947 and 1948, although there is no indication that SACHS had intelligence connections
- b SZULC' $ marriage to the daughter of the American manager of the English language newspaper in Rio de Janeiro, the Herald, lasted only until SZULC had permanent residence in the and appears to have been carried through for that purpose .
- c By 1949 (SZULC was only 23) he had come to the 16-20 attention of the [Rio Station]because of his dealings' with the Polish Legation and because investigation revealed his father had some (apparently innocent) business dealings with Russians visiting Brazil from Mexico\_
- d In 1954, about a year after he was hired by the NYT , SZULC obtained a sensational story , by telephone , from a Communist leader in Guatemala \_ This launched his career with the NYT \_
- e In 1956 SZULC was investigating Brazilian nuclear policy for the NYT Although a legitimate topic, it was somewhat unusual for him and the timing seems unusual for NYT interest.
- f In 1959 , on a to Santiago, Chile, SZULC clained to be "cleared" and requested an interview with an Agency representative. This was the first of numerous such requests. In addition, it was in about 1959 that he. also began making a point of telling Agency personnel the names of other . Agency officers he had identified. trip
- 8 . An article SZULC wrote on Cuba for the NYT in December 1959 was hailed as an antidote to the excessively favorable reports of his colleague, Herbert MATTHEWS , but in fact his article was largely favorable to Fidel CASTRO and to CASTRO ' s plans for Cuba \_ It is only in comparison that with MAIIHEWS blatantly pro-CASTRO articles SZULC piece/ cän be considered balanced1s
- h\_ By September 1960 , SZULC was in the forefront of those advocating action against CASTRO \_ (It was he who finally brought the Leonardo Plan to Washington in 1963 \_ See AMTRUNK Operational paper) \_
- i\_ In April 1961, shortly after John F KENNEDY was innaugurated, SZULC was transferred to Washington by the NYT Although a reasonable transfer, it is noteworthy that in a very short tine SZULC clained that he had a standing invitation to go directly to the President, the Vice President, the Attorney General McGeorge BUNDY and Robert HURWITCH on Cuban
<!-- image -->
5
- j \_ SZULC persistently sought a continuing contact with an Agency representative in Washington shortly after he arrived until it was granted in December 1962\_ The first contact was with Albert DAVIES (Lt\_ Col \_ on military detail to CIA Cuba) and was arranged at the behest Colonel GROGAN , the Assistant to the Director, request\_
- k In 1963 , at President 'KENNEDY s urging, contact with SZULC was nade into a formal relationship and was continued until October 1964 \_ The meetings were used by SZULC to cross check his information from other sources , including various Cuban exiles and the Department of State. He becane , by virtue of his contacts with the exile community and throughout Washington, one of the most knowledgeable people in the area of Cuban affairs, antiCASTRO activities, and U.S . Government policy . (See CI study on Jorge VOLSKY for more information on this period.) early
- 1\_ The Agency officer, Alfonso RODRIGUEZ who maintained official contact with SZULC in 1963 and 1964 said in July 1964:
"The. special friendship and mutual admiration society that has existed between Tad SZULC , Jorge VOLSKY , and Manuel RAY and the JURE is not something that is transparent easily explained. This alliance may be something unholy and Machiavellian; I just; do not know but I can find no evidence to prove it.
Another officer, Seymour Young, wrote in 1965 :
"After reading and re-reading this man ' s various files, I began to feel that this man in his position would be an ideal 'agent of influence' It was noted that he is always in a crisis area and usually in advance of the crisis and writes articles which are more concerned with the Communist successes. "
- n \_ In about' August 1965, SZULC was sent to Madrid as the NYT representative for Spain and Portugal\_ He stayed overseas until December 1968 \_ He was present in Prague during the Soviet invasion of August 1968 and in December he was expelled, apparently for being too inquisitive\_ However , the WWest German Service ]has remained suspicious of the circumstances of SZULC' s expulsion and the details have never been clarified (It is interesting that SZULC wrote articles reflecting the official CZECH line concerning the defection of General Jan SEJNA who was in the Czech Intelligence service.)
- 0 SZULC was reported by an FBI source to have gone horseback riding with Boris V. YAROCHEVSKIY , a suspect KGB officer, in Washington in June or July 1971 \_ SZULC ' s file reflects no regular contact with Bloc diplomats\_
- p . In 1972 and 1973 SZULC covered Watergate extensively and demonstrated an extreme bias against the CIA July 1972, SZULC' 5 inquiries of the Department State and his articles had taken on a distinctly anti-US Government tone \_ His coverage of guerrilla and terrorist groups By
was less sure than in earlier and was frequently sensationalist and full of inaccuracies\_ (See , especially, article in NYT for 14 July 1972 on a terrorist Headquarters in Zurich and other wild 'days
- 9 Since 1974 SZULC' s articles have been highly critical the Agency he has used the background information he gathered in the 1960's to attack the Agency and to criticize its operations\_ and
- r, In May 1975 SZULC accused the Agency of rifling the files Senators This was only one of many irresponsible and false articles he wrote trying to discredit the Agency . One of the more spectacular efforts was a series in Esquire magazine, in which, among other things, he charged that the U .S . intelligence community had a hidden budget of $25 billion dollars and a network of 200,000 spies\_
- Inside the Companz: AGEE credits SZULC ' s daughter, Nicole, for having "obtained vital research materials in New York and Washington, There is reason to believe, particularly in view of the extrene views Tad SZULC has manifested in the past two years , that he may have aided his daughter in her "research\_ SUMMATION In,
- The case against Tad SZULC as a foreign agent is weak However , his most recent activities are entirely consonant with the view that he has already served the Soviets well and can
8
end his career as an overt propagandist taking advantage of the current furor over the CIA to do the greatest possible danage The current paralysis of all anti-Communist action by the Agency attests to the effectiveness of AGEE , SZULC , the Soviets, et al-
B NOTB : (See attachment from a highly sensitive source use 0f the SECRET / SENSITIVE attachment requires C/CI approval,) The source roported that Nicole, while working with the DGI in Cuba to. éxpose the Agency , said that except for her father , her whole family were "fascists\_ She said that her father quit the NYT because of the restrictive editorial policy and he wished to write according to his beliefs\_ Any
