8. We made no attempt, which in any case would have been vain, to break up the relationship between ASBIDU-1 and Adelaide. We apologized to him for involving ourselves in matters of a private and intimate nature which unfortunately were beginning to impinge upon OUTOK security interests. ASBIDU-1 in turn made it clear that he thinks he is in love and that separation is not in the cards. We dropped the issue by assuring ASBIDU-1 that the day would come when things could be seen in better perspective and that he could depend on us not to gloat or remind him that we had told him so. 11. We mentioned offhand that we assumed that Adelaide had all the papers necessary to effect her departure from PERTH. ASBIDU-1 replied that she had not been able yet to get the necessary papers. We simply commented that she should ask for them. Henry D. Hecksher cc: WAVE ASBIDU-201 ASBIDU-201/ Counterintelligence SECRET
