• Call for Information and Interview Subjects: 

  British author Ben Macintyre requests members’ help in researching a joint CIA-MI6 operation during the Cold War.

  In1981, MI6 recruited a senior Russian KGB officer in post-revolutionary Iran, and exfiltrated him to the UK a year later. Vladimir Kuzichkin (codename REDWOOD) revealed a KGB conspiracy to recruit, finance and arm members of the Iranian Communist (Tudeh) Party to mount a possible coup against the Ayatollah Khomeini and install a communist regime, backed by Soviet forces.

  The CIA and MI6 jointly agreed to pass the intelligence to Iran, hoping this “goodwill gesture” would open warmer relations with Khomeini's government.

  In September 1982, a meeting was arranged in Islamabad between REDWOOD and officials of SAVAMA, the Iranian intelligence service. Armed with Kuzichkin's revelations, the Revolutionary Guard moved to destroy the Tudeh party in 1983 and expelled 18 Soviet diplomats. The REDWOOD case stymied the threat of a Soviet-backed coup and neutralised Iranian communism, but did not improve relations with Iran. Bob Woodward published a report on the episode in the Washington Post in 1986.

  Any assistance would be appreciated. Please contact Ben Macintyre on ben.macintyre@thetimes.co.uk or 00 44 7909 926161

• Call for Information:

  CIA in 1970 FIFA World Cup or 1968 Olympic Games. Did the CIA watch soccer? I’m a British journalist and documentary maker (20 years at the BBC, now independent) working on a historical podcast series focusing on the 1970 FIFA World Cup (soccer), as well as the 1968 Olympic Games. I am trying to understand what operational interest, if any, the CIA took in these two sporting events, particularly in the context of the Cold War in Latin America. Since both events took place in Mexico, I am keen to speak to anyone specifically about either the CIA Mexico station at that time (under Win Scott and later John Horton), or - for broader context - about the Agency’s historical interest in sporting matters more generally. Anyone with insight into the involvement of the Brazilian government or security agencies in soccer during the 1970 World Cup (under Gen Medici) would also be of interest. I can be contacted at gabriel.gatehouse@gmail.com. Discretion is, of course, assured.

• Information Sought:

If you have a copy of the 1969 list, suggestions where it might be found in its entirety, or knowledge of any earlier lists in the series, please contact Kevin Riehle at kevin.riehle@brunel.ac.uk.
