SUBJECT: UNINTEL CKTOP JAGUAR/IVAN DMITRIYEVICH OBYEDKOV (201-779495)
REF: LONDON 81224 IN 2003461 Y

1. OBYEDKOV ACTED AS A GUARD AT THE SOVIET EMBASSY IN MEXICO CITY, ALTHOUGH HE APPEARED TO BE BETTER EDUCATED THAN HIS DUTIES AS A GUARD WOULD DEMAND. AMONG HIS MAIN DUTIES, HE TENDED THE SOVIET EMBASSY TELEPHONE, STOOD GUARD DUTY AT THE GATE, TOOK MESSAGES FOR OTHER SOVIETS, NOTIFIED THEM OF MEETINGS, AND ARRANGED APPOINTMENTS. HE ALSO OCCASIONALLY DROVE ONE OF THE EMBASSY CARS ON ERRANDS. DURING HIS TEHRAN TOUR, HE WAS ALSO LISTED AS A GUARD AT THE SOVIET EMBASSY. HE WAS OBSERVED TO BE VERY SECURITY CONSCIOUS.

2. ON BOTH PRECEDING TOURS OBYEDKOV APPEARED TO FUNCTION AS A LEGITIMATE GUARD AND WAS NEVER OBSERVED IN THE ACT OF PERFORMING ANY INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES. BECAUSE A SOVIET IS LISTED AS A GUARD AT A SOVIET EMBASSY, IT DOES NOT FOLLOW THAT HE IS NECESSARILY A KGB OFFICER. SINCE WE HAVE NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT AN INTELLIGENCE AFFILIATION WE WILL NO LONGER CARRY HIM AS SUSPECT RIS, PROBABLY KGB.

1. For your information, we no longer carry Ivan Dmitriyevich OBVEDKOV
(201-779495), guard at the Soviet Embassy in Tehran, as PCS. He was not listed
on ROGWEN's April 1971 Presence List nor their December 1971 list. We assume
he has departed PCS.

2. During OBYEDKOV's tour in Tehran his wife, Yelena, served as principal
at the Soviet school. His son was apparently in Moscow living with Yelena's mother.
On 23 October 1969, ROARC reported the grandmother calling to check with OBYEDKOV
regarding a tutor for the child. They discussed the possibility of the tutor coming
for three times a week, at five rubles per hour, but OBYEDKOV, after checking with
his wife, decided on two times a week. OBYEDKOV seemed to be very fond of his
mother-in-law. According to our AESCREEN transcriber, she was the only one that
could tell OBYEDKOV what to do.

3. The following are comments made by our AESCREEN transcriber on OBYEDKOV
on 8 July 1970:

He is very security conscious, especially in dealing with "official people" or
superiors. He mentions his name to his friends freely, but refuses to say his name
when he knows that one of the superiors is calling, "this is the duty officer" OBYEDKOV
would say several times. He often lectures people when they violate security regulations
when talking on the telephone. OBYEDKOV has to be persuaded several times or even

begged if someone needs help (getting a vehicle or when asking for a favor), but when
he decides to help, OBYEDKOV will say with the problem until he gets results.
Although OBYEDKOVA seeras to be more cultured and better educated than her
husband, it is certain that only OBYEDKOV makes the final decisions. OBYEDKOV
could be very pleasant, helpful and even kind, but it usually depended on his mood.

5. The only Soviet we noted as being friendly with OBYEDKOV during his tour
here was Rafik Nazhaf-Ogly ABDULLAYEV (201-808524), Third Secretary, suspect
RIS, probable KGB. When speaking to one another they used the familiar "ty".
We do not know the extent of their relationship.

2. According to the 1963 and 1964 Checklists of Soviet Officials Abroad,
one Ivan Ivanovich OBYEDKOV (201-121531); born 14 July 1912; wire Yelena;
A number 04377, was present in Mexico City since August 1962 as an employee
of the Soviet Embassy. The. Checklist for 1965, lists one Ivan Dmitriyevich
OBYEDKOV (201-779495); born 14 July 1912; wife Yelena; A number 41970, as an
employee of the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City since August 1962. Apparently
these two OBYEDKOVS are one in the same and although Subject's birthdate is
different we believe he is identical with the OBYEDKOV who served in Mexico City.
Recently a conversation was recorded on ROARC during waich Subject used several
Spanish words and expressions. It is possible Subject acquired a knowledge of
Spanish during a previous tour in a Spanish speaking country such as Mexico.
Please compare the attached photo of Subject with that of the OBYEDKOV who was
assigned to Mexico City to determine if they are identical.

Paragraph 20 of the Summary is for passage to liaison.

2.. Subject is not identical to Ivan Ivanovich OBYLDKOV
(201-121531). When Subject first arrived in Mexico in August 1962,
he was reported as Ivan Ivanovich and this orror was not corrected
until May 1905; therefore, two Checklists carried the wrong aan
PCS in Mexico. When the records were corrected, the Subject's
birthdate was not, and the same date was listed for both parties.
Headquarters records do not list a wife or other dependents for
Ivan Ivanovich OBYDKOV and, as far as is known, he has not been
assigned abroad PCS prior to the date of this dispatch.

10. PERSONALITY, CHARACTER, AND HABITS:

Although Subject acted as a guard at the Soviet Embassy
in Mexico, he appeared to be fairly well educated and was
not subservient to any of the other Soviets, with the
exception of Counselor Boris Aleksandrovich KAZANTSEV.
(201-028975). On one occasion Subject was reported to be
helping the daughter of Commercial Counselor Georgiy
Stepanovich VISKO with her arithmetic homework. On another,
Subject was asked about methods of producing metal wire,
a subject on which Subject was well informed as a result of
his having once worked for a wire factory.

Subject had a tape recorder at home which he liked to
listen to. lle also occasionally went fishing with other Soviets..

Subject told "Boris" in Moscow to build a large garage,
because he was bringing a big car back with him. He also
asked whether Boris had bought a refrigerator and TV for the
apartment. On another occasion he was negotiating for a can
of paint to take back to Moscow with him to repaint "the
Moskvich". Subject and his wife were both buying watches
just before leaving Mexico. From the above it appears
that Subject was fairly well-off financially, for a guard.

11. CURRICULUM VITAE:
Date unknown
Subject reportedly worked at the Serp i Molot
(wire) factory in Leningrad.

28 August 1962
Subject, accompanied by wife and son, arrived
PCS in Mexico as an employee of the Soviet
Embassy. Subject replaced Vyacheslav
Aleksandrovich YEGOROV (201-273431), who
is suspect GRU.

6-19 November 1962
Subject was in the hospital in Mexico City.
On the 11th of November he underwent a
three hour operation of unspecified nature.
The other Soviets had to guard him when
he came out of the operating room.

17 August 1963
Subject stated that he had just returned from
a trip with Valentin Vasilyevich BAKULIN
(201-261813), who is known GRU. There was no
information on where or why the trip was taken.

4 August 1965
Subject departed Mexico PCS, transiting Belgium
on his return to the USSR. He was accompanied
by Valeriy Vladimirovich KOSTIKOV (201-305052)
who is known KGB. Subject was replaced by
Ivan Petrovich KARCHIN (201-782164).

SECRET
14-00000
SECRET

12. INTELLIGENCE AFFILIATION:

Mexico City Station considers Subject suspect RIS because
he appears better educated that his duties as a guard would
demand, because he seems financially better off than other
Soviet guards and because of his apparent association on
equal footing with Soviet RIS officers. DERYABIN in 1955
advised LNERGO that the surname OBYEDKOV was familiar to him
as the name of a person who was in the Guards Directorate of
the MVD in 1951.

In September 1967 DERYABIN and RASTVOROV said that they
neither recognized the face nor the name of the Subject.
(Both Ivan Ivanovich and Ivan Dmitriyevich were seen by the
defectors and they did not recognize either of them.)

13. INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITY:

There was no intelligence activity noted on the Subject's
part while he was stationed in Mexico.

14. NON-INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITY:

Subject primarily handled the main Soviet telephone and
took guard duty at the gate. Subject took messages for other
Soviets, notified them of meetings, and contacted them for
appointments with each other. He occasionally drove one of

the Embassy cars on errands. ile kept a ledger of the telegrams
sent out by the Embassy and notified other Soviets when cables
came in for them.

15. CONTACTS:
    a. Soviet friends and associates.

1. Valeriy Aleksandrovich ANDRIANOV (201-293945),
employee in the Soviet Trade Representation in
Mexico from February 1961 to May 1964, suspect
RIS. When the ANDRIANOVS left Mexico they were
planning to get in touch with Subject's family
in Moscow.

2. Aleksandr Mikhaylovich DENISOV (201-726491), Second
Secretary at the Soviet Embassy in Mexico from
August 1962 to April 1967, known GRU. Subject
appeared not to like DENISOV. It also appeared
that DENISOV was responsible for reimbursing
Subject for the gas Subject used in KUKHARENKO's
саг.

3. Aleksey Nikolayevich GANIN (201-757775), known GRU
officer who visited Mexico 31 July 14 August 1964.

4. Subject, along with other Soviets who were
known GRU officers, met GAVIN on his visit to
Mexico.

5. Sergey Semenovich KUKHARENKO (201-260831), chief
of the Soviet information Bulletin in Mexico from
October 1962 to August 1964, suspect KGB. Subject
and KUKHARENKO were the best of friends for a
time, but ther KUKHARENKO began drinking too
much and getting into various scrapes. Subject
frequently commiserated with KUKHARENKO's wife
over her husband's drinking, automobile accidents,
money problems. Subject occasionally used
KUKHARENKO's car..

6. Oleg Pavlovich MOSKVICHEV (201-285090), employee
in the Soviet Trade Representation in Mexico
from March 1961 to July 1964, known KGB. Subject
gave MOSKVICHEV his home address in MosCOM.

7. Vladimir Nikolayevich RADVANSKIY (201-298171),
code clerk at the Soviet Embassy in Mexico from
September 1964 to March 1967, known KGB. Subject
is not known to have associated with RADVANSKIY;
however, Subject's wife and RADVANSKAYA worked
together in the school and children's camp, and

RADVANSKAYA took over the camp after Subject's
wife left Mexico. RADVANSKAYA asked Subject's
wife to tell her (RADVANSKAYA'S) daughter to
enter the institute when she saw her in Moscow.

16. Vladimir Aleksandrovich ROMANCHENKO (201-727109),
Second Secretary of the Soviet Embassy in Mexico
from August 1963 to July 1967, no known RIS
affiliation. When ROMANCHENKO was in Moscow
on leave in May 1964, Subject told "Boris"
(believed to be Subject's brother-in-law) to
send letters to him through ROMANCHENKO when
he came back to Mexico.

17. Georgiy Stepanovich VISKO (201-243602), Commercial
Counselor in Mexico from July 1962 to circa
December 1966, suspect GRU. Subject's wife
and Mrs. VISKO taught together in the school
and seemed to be good friends. Subject also
seemed to be friends with Mrs. VISKO, and he
reportedly helped the VISKO's daughter with her
arithmetic homework on at least one occasion.

Roport No: TLE-1191
Date of Information: 29 August 6 Septem-
ber 1950
Date Acquired: 12 September 1950
Date of Report: 18 September 1950

On the basis of information communicated to his Government by the Colombian
Ambassador in Costa Rica, the National Chief of Detectives, Carlos RODRIGUEZ
Teller, was sent to Costa Rica to investigate reported clandestine movements
of armaments in Costa Rican territory which, according to vague reports, might
be shipped to Colombia. Reportedly involved in this activity was one Arturo
of Colombian nationality, in combination with various Communist elements.
A copy of this investigator's repert, dated 11 September 1950, is submitted
herewith. The following are excerpts of possible interest.

The detective service in Costa Rica has knowledge of the visits to the
Golfito region of the United States citizen Richard ROWN, who at present
is in Puerto Limon engaged in arms traffic. We were able to confirm that
this man makes frequent trips probably connected with this business. There
is another American citizen named Charles LUFRJURY LUFBORROW), who had a
lumber business in this port and later engaged in fishing. He is being
watched because he is also engaged in arms traffic. At present he is in
Panama.

In the Customs house of the port we were able to inspect the records which
are kept there on the movements of foreigners but found that they are very
rudimentary and we obtained no exact data of interest.

The Costa Rican authorities have sent some of their best intelligence agents
to Golfito to investigate the movements of Arture BOTERO, slias "al l'ocho."
An agent informed me that he had been unable to discover the presence of a
person by that name among the banana loading workers. This agent stated he
was investigating the activities of the American Charles Marion LUFBORROW,
owner of the fishing launch "Yolanda Bentin" of United States or Honduran
registry, reportedly engaged in arms traffic. It was also reported that
in-Golfito a Colombian by the name of Carlos VALDES Gonzalez, alias Arturo
ONZALEZ Molina, is working.

The region between Palmar and Piedras Blancas is completely infected with
Communism. It is reported that at kilometer 44 between Palmar and Golfito
a deposit of armament is hidden.

On some of the fincas around the estero of Sierpe it is reported that there
are various deposits of armaments. In this region Communists are activo.

Jose FIGURES has 200 machine guns and 600,000 rounds of ammunition as well
as other arms stored on his finca La Lucha.

Conclusions. In Costa Rica the existence of a permanent standing Army is
prohibited. Thus the nation is a hot bed for political organizations of any
kind which convert themselves into a menace to the stability of Costa Rica.
Without the Lacking of a military organization the other institutions are
extremely weak and detectivism, police, civil guard, and so forth, are un-
prepared to carry out the administration of the Government.

Under these conditions and with the authorization of the Colombian Ambassador
in Costa Rica, Dr. Fulgencio LEQUERICA Velez, I suggest that the Colombian
Government grant fivo scholarships to young Costa Ricans to study detective
work in Colombia for the purpose of aiding Costa Rica to form a technical
corps of Police and set up the basis for an organization which will benefit
greatly our country since if this became effective Colombia would have in
that country an organization which little by little would reflect our own
interests and desires in Central America.

FIELD COGENT: This report adds very little to our knowledge of arms traffic in
Costa Rica, but it is believed to be of interest.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT:
Luis Clements POSADA-Carriles
REFERENCES: a. Memo for Record, 26 June 1967, by LRH,
same subject
b. Williamson/Henze Telephone Conversation,
28 June 1967
1. In my meeting with the Department of Justice today, I
confirmed that POSADA-Carriles was our man. I outlined the pre-
liminary information we had developed on the transactions between
him and one Lefty Rosenthal.
2. Justice was advised that our information disclosed that
POSADA-Carriles had passed silencers and grenades, to Rosenthal
during July 1965, and that in October 1966 he had furnished pencils
and fuses. I also stated that it was our understanding that POSADA-
Carriles was in contact with FDI/Miami and that it had been advised
of these dealings. Justice was told that the items involved were not
of Agency origin. It was emphasized, however, that this was our
preliminary conclusion and that we would undertake to verify it.
3. Justice acknowledged that FBI reporting disclosed
POSADA-Carriles as its contact but apparently the details are some-
what vague. To make a federal case against Rosenthal because of his
suspected involvement in the bombings, it will be necessary to show
that the items used were obtained through interstate commerce. A
preliminary reading suggests prosecution under Title 18 Section 837.
Out of concern for the allegation of entrapment, Justice asked that
hint el ser
yot the sound.

we supply answers to the following: (a) did POSADA-Carriles
volunteer himself to the FBI or did it approach him initially;
(b) who informed the FBI of the July 1965 deal - the Agency or
POSADA-Carriles; (c) on what date was this information given;
(d) similarly as regards the October 1966 transaction, the date
the information farnished and by whom; (e) what were POSADA-
Carriles sources for the items or their components; (f) were
these sources within or without the State of Florida? And inci-
dentally were we aware that supposedly POSADA-Carriles realized
a "profit" for furnishing the October 1966 items and that he tried
without success to turn it into the "company"? While I agreed to
undertake to obtain the information requested, I suggested that
much of it might be readily available from the FBI. Justice con-
coded this and intenda to have further discussions with it.
4. Daring the course of the meeting the interesting
hypothesis was suggested to the effect that POSADA-Carriles
might have been "moonlighting" for Rosenthal, and only when he
began to feel the pressure did he start reporting to the Agency and
the FBI.
5. Under strictly controlled conditions with POSADA-
Carriles acting as a conduit, Justice is considering the possibility
of assisting Rosenthal to obtain his needed items, whereupon he
will be arrested immediately for possession. I told them while we
might be willing to have POSADA-Carriles so used we were under-
standably concerned over the adverse comment that our employee's
involvement could generate.
4. On a matter that may be related: one Albert LARRAIN
Maestre is alleged to have admitted to POSADA-Carriles that he has
been involved in the bombings with Rosenthal and to have said more
explosives were needed. LARRAIN Maestre is a fugitive under a
narcotics endictment having formerly resided at 153 East 57th Street,
New York, New York. Do we have any information on this person?

MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SURFECT: Contact Feport on Meeting with AMRURO-1201-290613

1. On 5 November at 1130 hours, AMRUNG-1 and DECKER were met
at the shiston Airport by undersigned. They were then taken by
taxi to the Mayflower Fotel, where a room had been reserved for
their uso. After having lunch at the hotel, the party adjourned to
the room, where ANG-l was given a short briefing en Francisco 03
Castell, the /T operator who was scheduled to meet G-1 at
1400 hours.

2. At 100 hours, the undersigned Went to the loty of the hotel
where Francisco was waiting with Ray Carcia, his escort officer.
 Garcia was instructed to bring Francisco u to the room. It was
agreed in advance of this that all principals would with draw. from
the room to give ARUNC-1 an opportunity to talk with Francisco alone.
Fowever, it was suggested that Garcia Return a half hour before the
interview was terminated to clear us any points as to the nature of
Francisco's training, or any aspects that AMPUHO-1 ht wish to
clarify. The interview with Francisco was terminated atout 1510
hours, as AMENG-l statod he would be pleased to have Francisco
assigned to him. All indications were that a happy rapport was esta-
blished between the principals and a completo understanding was
reached as to the future role of Francisco as the "/T operator for
the AMYUM group in Cuba.

3. At approximately 1535 hours. Andy Rogers put in his appearance
at the mom and was introduced to AMEUNG-l as Pr. Fodrick. Prior to
this meeting, RUNG-1 was told that Mr. Rodrick was the coordinator
for operations and would like to discuss some of the more specific
aspects with him, prior to his return to Cuba. Cecil Cartwright, who as
had escorted AMSUNG-l to Washington, asked to sit in on this meeting
along with Peters and Rogerappas he felt that MASH should be fully
informed on whatever operational matters were discussed with AMRUNG-1
for more effective future coordination between Headquarters and MASH.
 Rogers indicated no objections to this and stated he was glad to have
him sit in at this meeting.

4. In substance, Sopers covered most of the highlights dealing
with previous attempts to supply the ANTUM group with aras and ammo,
and air-maritine operations currently being planned. In this
connection, was highly pleased to learn that a 4,000 pound

shiprent had been successfully infiltrated to his group during his absence
and again urged that more such sicrents should bo stepped us in the future.
 Rogers then briefly discussed the SINNE operation and asked ANHUNG-1 if he
didn't think this area for the De wa.. already "tlown" due to the number of
people who already knew of his operation. (This includes S other people
besides M-1 and A SUNG-1.) AMRUNG-1 stated he was not sure, Iut would
investigate this upon his return. However, he felt that this was an excel-
lent DZ site and should be utilized for any subsequent airdrop scheduled in
the Pinar del Rio province Rogers informed ARUNG-1 that his overlays on
various LZ's and 22's had been received and were being reviewed by the opera-
tions peo, lc. He complirented AAUNG-1 on the excellent work of his carto
grapher and expressed the view that these CZ areas would be put to good use.
Finally, he assured ANANG-l that no stone is being left unturned to provide
his grou with the necessary rateriel support which is critically needed and
that this suport will be step ed up as our infiltration capabilities are in-
creased both by air and sea. In parting, he cautioned ANG-l not to take
any unnecessary chances when he resumed operational activities in Cuba, since
his leadership in the AYUN group was vital to our overall interests. The
reeting was terminated about 1720 hours as Rogers and Peters took their de
parture.

5. Spire of the more significant hishlights of the conversations which
took place between AVSUNG-1 and the undersined prior to his meetings with the
W/T operator (Francisco) and Regers are noted herewith:
a. Security: Castro has taken stringent acti n in tightening up
his internal security a, ainst counter-revolutionary forces inside
Cuba. The raiitia are being used to search houses for concealed
Leapons (usually by a block system), and anyone failing to produce
proper identification is removed for questioning by the DIER.
Hence, ANSUNC-1 ani his organization are largely confining their
activities to the daylight hours from 0700 to 2000 hours. Re
considers night operations - particularly on the stiects of Havona
as highly dangerous inasmuch as the Diell (security oryans) are
constantly on the alert to stop individuals on the street to check
their identification documents.

b. Documentation of A, ents in Cuba: AMACIG-1 surgested using an
identirication card issued by the Havana University for their
students. He had a sample copy in his ossession, which he clairs
was readily accepted by Castro security forces as being valii.
Similarly, a driver's license properly authenicated along with a
health certificate were considored to be ford "cover" docurents
for acents operating in the Havana area. A supply of blank identi
fication caris will be turned over to the Station by ASUNG-1 for
transmittal to headquarters for any suta quent documentation of

agents who can be passed off as students at the Havana University.
(He suggested preparin: cae for his h/t operator (Francisco).

c. Operational Expenditures: Queried on this aspect, VNG-1 stated
his organizati nowould need a vinimum of 50 to 60,000 pesos a
month to cover their overall operational expenses. These funds are
being used for safehouse maintenance, travel expenses, purchase of
vehicles and gascline, ailocation of funds to varicus sub-
divisions of the AMIT organisation located in various provinces of
Cuba, and purchase of food and support of various arents whose
families may be in dire need of food and medical supplies.

d. W/T oerators: To date, both PANIC-14 and ANGLEX-1 have not
met the requirements for effective communication with us on ANTUM
operations. However, ANG-1 feels that APAC-l has not been
compromised or turned by the DICK and once he rets over his nervous
state, it is possible he can still be used. Similarly, although
A: GLEN-1 is considered to be a god w/T operator, LatYG-1 feels
his usefulness to him has been considerably negated by the nature
of his assignment at the Naval base and his recent restrictions
to this base by orders of the Castro recire. In short, AvKUNG-1
feels communication is the weakest link in his current operations
and that direct comunications with the Embassy is growing in
creasingly hazardous, due to the fact that Embassy personnel are
under close surveillance by the Castro cecurity forces. For this
reason he feels that Francisco will fill a serious wid in this
respect, once he is infiltrated into the ANYIK organisation in
Cuba.
In
e. Support for other anti-Castro props in Cubat at stated that
all materiel support should bo funneled directly to his organiza-
tien for distribution to other anti-Castro grops in Cuba.
his view this would serve as a control factor in unifying the over-
all effort of the varicus splinter groups seeking svet support in
Cuba and ould also enhance the prestige of the MRR as the spear
head for the FRENTE. He then went on to add that he was fully
aware of our efforts to support other groups in Cuba, which he
assumed we were operating with on a unilateral basis. (i.e., he
sited Nino Dias in Oriente). AMUNG-1 felt this was a serious
mistake, as this unilateral support would affect the leadership and
direction new being provided by the MRR throughout Cure. The
undersigr.ed told AMAUNG-1 that he agreed on the desirability of
a coordinate d effort on the part of all counter-revolutionary
groups seeking to overthrow Castro using the FRENTE as the rally-
ing center. However, the question of support being etve ted
through one channel namely: his organization in Cube, was neither
feasible nor practical. The fact that Castro had tightened up
security throughout the various provinces of Cuba, weld make it
difficult or impossible for the AYLH group to ship arms and other
equiprent from Havana to the eastern rost provinces (te.. Las

Villas, Caraguay or Oriente) without jeopardizing both shiprents
and person el. Hence, the need for unilateral action on our
part to supply these fighting groups in these provinces. This
explanation appeared to satisfy ANEUNO-1, however he still insisted
that his organizati n should at least be appraised of any rateriel
support provided other Ecroups in Cuba. He was assured that we
would take his request under consideration.

f. ANDIDOY-1: AMRUNO-l feels that ne useful purpose would be served
in sending his associate to join forces with him in Havana. He
feels that AFBIDDY-1 should continue to represent the AYUM
faction in the Fid and when the counter-revolutionary forces aro
fully prepared to overthrow the Castro regire, AFRIDCY-1 will be
brought into the Pinar del Rio to direct the forces in this
province.

g. Nanolo Ray: AMAUNG-l considers RAY as a highly dangerous individual
because of his great ambition to play a prominent role in any
subsequent Cuban government following the overthrow of the Castro
regime. In his opinion, RAY poses a serious threat to VARONA'S
leadership and the FRD inside Cuba. He is attempting to draw
various dissident groups to his banners and appears to have support
from the riddle class represented by business interests, politicians,
and the professional class. Should BAY be persuaded to join
forces with the FRD, AMDUNG-l thinks he wi:l continue to operate
on a unilaterai basis while seeking to supercede the FRD with
his own cryanization in Cuba.

h. Tony Varona and the FRD: Although ANKUNG-1 recognizes the need
to support the FRD as a political front for rallying counter-
revolutionary groups against the Castro regime, he nonetheless
feels that the FIENTE and Tony VEROVA have lost considerable face
in Cuba by inaction and political maneuvering. He further pointed
out that he is aware that thousands of dollars had been poured into
the FRETE, but dissident groups in Cuba have seen no evidence of
any of this money to sup ort their efforts to cverthrow Castro.
Hence, confidence in the FID is at a rolatively low ebb among the
people in Cuba and a new shot in the arm in the form of materiel
and financial support is needed to restore this confidence. Ac-
cording to PRUNG-1 this cup, ort must be forthcoming soon because
such peole as Manolo RAY are taking the initiative and will soon
control the entire counter-revolut onary movement in Cuba.

SUBJECT: Cira MARTINEZ, sia: "Cirita", vas closely connected το Manuel RAY.

SOURCE: Karta DIEZ Rivas, Married to Dr. Ricardo KACHIN. Has connect
in Havana with verious anti-Communist organizations.

On a visit I made to source, she told me that she had met Mrs.
Cira MARTINEZ in Havana. That Mrs. MARTINEZ used the clandestine
pacudonym "Josefina" and was married to architect Frank MARTINEZ.
That both subject and her husband were persons in the absolute
confidence of engineer Manuel RAY, and "Josefina" had been RAY's
secretary for a long time.

Source claims to have learned from "Josefina" that she was
dissatisfied with RAY's political actions, to the extent that RAY
wanted her to join the executive of the organization J.U.R.E. but she
had refused because she did not agree with the/ of this
organization. That "Josefina" had described this organization as
a political movement the same as Castroism, only changing the name
of the leader. That the knows the plan of this organization is to
organizo all anti-BATICTA and anti-CASTRO organizations, under the
direction of the J.U.R.E., and develop a nationalistic and copecially
an anti-American policy in order to be able to group all the elements
existing in Cuba that have not figured prominently in the CASTRO
regime. After the fall of the CASTRO rogine they plan to form a
strong political party in Cuba and capitalize on the mistakos committed
by the provisional Covernment. With this objective in mind, they will
stay separated from the C.R.O. and from all relations with the U.S.
Government in order to be able to carry out their plan freely.

Mrs. Cira MARTINEZ lives with her husband at 1004 NE 17th St.,
Miami, phone umber PL-C-0483 on which they talk to many persons
related with RAY's plan.

NOTE: One of RAY's most trusted leaders in Miami is still Osorio
DAVILA, former treasurer of the 26th of July Movement and man in the
absolute confidence of Haydos SANTECIA, For a long time DAVILA was
the Chief of the Havena Immigration Department, until he came to the
U.S. by boat from the coast of Kansas. Some days ago I cubmitted a
detailed report on Osorio DAVILA, and also on Cremos and many other

own leaders of J.U.R.E., because there is another group of
individuals whose nomes are not advertised but who have command powers
in the J.U.R.E. One of these men is Ignacio LIDON, former leader of
the 25th of July Kovement, private secretary of the Commissioner of
Havana Jose LLALUSA, and G-2 delegate in Havana City Hall. LIDON
persecuted many persons in the City Hall because he was the one who
made the licts of persons who should be watched, to the G-2. He also
had close connections with the Minister of the Interior, Jose A.
NARANJO, whom he kept informed about the persons under cuspicion who
worked in the Ministry of the Interior. One time LIDON visited KARANJO
and informed him, in the presence of KARANJO's secretary, Lucy
ICHEVERRIA, that he should keep Captain Samon PADILLA, at that time
Chief of the Isle of Pines prison, under surveillance. In 1960 PADILLA
was preparing the escape of Captain Jorge SORUS, and thanks to Lucy'в
werning PADILLA took precautions and the plan could be carried out.
Ignacio LIDON lives in Miami but I don't know his home address.
Although he inter declared himself ca cati-comunist, and I think he
sought asylum in the Brasilien Embassy, I have no trust in him at all.

SEORIST

On Sunday, October 28, I met twice with Manolo RAY of the Movimiento
Revolucionario del Pueblo (MRP) at the San Juan Intercontinental Hotel, in
San Juan, Puerto Rico. My main objectives weres (1) to elicit from
a a
list of Cubans, presently associated with the Castro regime, who are
critical of Castro and might be considered potential defectors; (2) to
amin a list of Jubans, either inside or outside the island, who could be
available, in case of an emergency, to help in setting up some kind of
provisional government; and (3) to have his general views on the possibility
of an insurrectionary movement.

Since I had arranged to return to Washington on the same day, I did
not give Ray much Line to do a thorough job. However, he was able to
furnish se with a list of names, covering points (1) and (2). He promised
to provide me with additional information after checking with some of his
associated in New York and Miami. His thoughts on the possibility of an
insurrectionary movement idll be the subject of a separate semorandum.

the Cuban Government. I add my own comments in parenthesis, based on
