Your JIBS 270-2000-3 over JIBS 735-20C0-1 dated 1 Nov 61 refers the Polish defector, Jerzy BRYN. 2. The discussions which you refer to with Maj Manion were probably coincidental with our discussions on the same subject and since receiving your letter I have contacted Brig NH Ross(then Col), our Service Attache in Tokyo at the time of the defection. All that Brig Ross is able to recall is that Mr BRYN, Polish member of the International Control and Supervisory Commission, called at his office and requested an appointment for that day, the meeting to be carried out in the Imperial Hotel. He would not disclose the subject. At the meeting in the hotel bar BRYN showed interest in contacting Col D Mounteer(at that time the Assistant Military Adviser at the Canadian Delegation in Saigon and at this time visiting Tokyo), but otherwise his talk was non-committal. Neither the Brig nor BRYN mentioned anything about defection. 3. Subsequently, Mr Guy Choquette, who I believe was with the office of the Canadian Trade Commissioner in Hong Kong, advised the Brig that BRYN had evidently been afraid to broach the subject at the meeting but had gone to the British who had then sent him to the US Embassy. Possibly Mr Choquette wrote a report at the time which you already have or which could be obtained from the Department of External Affairs. Brig Ross states he also wrote a report at the time of the event but I have been unable to find any trace of it on our files. y *s 4. Col Mounteer is now the Director of Ordnance Services at AHQ. Last Jul or Aug he discussed the BRYN case with me at which time I contacted you. He is unable to shed any further light on the matter but if you think it useful could be contacted at 2-5970. It seems that there is little can be added to the information you already have on this subject but these few additional details may be of 3om^*fl\erest to yourselves end CIA. vi v. V Colonel?
