Member of the leadership of the Egyptian Communist Party, Rifaat Said (in fact, the top man in the party) has submitted a request that shortterm (up to two weeks) special training on the question of ensuring the security of the party be organized for him during his stay in the Soviet Union on vacation in July 1988 (coded KGB telegram from the city of Cairo, special no. 491 dated 6 May 1988).
We would consider it possible to satisfy this request. The reception and servicing of R.

This has been coordinated with the first deputy chairman of the Committee of State Security of the USSR, V. N. Kriuchkov, and the Directorate of Affairs of the CC CPSU.
