(150) According to the FRANKFURT ALLGEMEINE, professors and members of the GDR Academy have indicated that while on official trips they do not receive a sufficient amount of per diem in West German Marks to enable them even to spend as small an amount as would have been required in Prof. Meissner's case. If they were to spend a single day in West Berlin, they are allowed all of DM 8. Seeing the long desired object without having enough money in one's pocket can trigger a panic action, see: The Frankfurter Allgemeine July 19, 1986, p.3 as reported by JPRS ( published by FBIS ) Sept. 5, 1986 30-31.

(151) Meissner's spying activities apparently consisted in sending reports to East German intelligence service after returning from trips to the West; Meissner was especially seeking to recruit young Western academicians for East German intelligence work and to explore drinking habits, marital situations and other personal traits of key Western academicians on his occasional trips to Western countries including the US; see: NYT, July 19, 1986, p.2

Alexander Cherkasets, who had left the USSR in 1979 after leaving his
job at a Moscow travel bureau, wanted to move to the land he considered
a bulwark of truth and justice. But once in New York City, driving a
taxi for a living, he watched his dream turn sour. In 1982 Cherkasets
went to the Soviet embassy in Washington, DC and asked for his return
home. His request was refused, as happened to so many other demands,
see: Newsweek, August 19, 1985, p.63.

But all ended well for Cherkasets, since he was among the 50 or so
émigrés who returned to the USSR on Dec. 28, 1986, see: TWTi, Dec. 29,
1986, p. 8A.
