over to the outside case officer Bruce H. FERNALD. When
ARCHBOLD departed PCS on 7 June 1971, Oliver J. MANKUNAS
assumed responsibility for this project, including agent
meetings.

Accomplishments:
-1

1. This project has provided continuous daily photo-
graphic and visual coverage of personnel and vehicles entering
or leaving the Soviet Embassy. A total of 530 rolls of film
were produced during the reporting period. U.S. citizens.
visitors, and TDY personnel are given special attention. Iden-
tifications of license plates and automobile descriptions as
well as drivers and their companions are identified under this
project. Additionally, attendance sheets are maintained to
establish who is at the Embassy on any given day and hour.
14-00000

-2-
These photographs and reports have contributed operational
support to the Station's Soviet operations which is not
attainable elsewhere. For example, whenever the Soviets
change all their license numbers the Station is able to
compile a new, complete roster within a matter of weeks.

Costs:

1. General: $19,000 is requested for FY 1972 and
$20,000 is requested for FY 1973. It is also requested
that the Project be amended for FY 1971 in the amount of
$4,260 to provide for the termination of KDFACTOR-1 and
KDFACTOR-7.

2. Source of Funds: Project KDFACTOR is included in
the Western Hemisphere Division's Operational Program in the
amount of $23,735 for FY 1972 and $24,182 for FY 1973.

1. Forwarded under separate cover as Attachment A are two LIENVOY
transcripts of 1.2 November 1963 and two LINVOY transcripts of 13 November
1963 which leadquarters may consider for transmitial to Suation Stockholm.
2.
Forwarded under separate cover as Attachment B is a photograph of
an unidentified male (who was accompanied by an unidentified temale whose
photograph the Station acset did not oblain) who visited the Soviet Erbassy
a. 1400 hours on 12 November 1965. The Station believes this male is iden-
tical with Subject since the male in the photograph is the only unidentified
male who was alco accompanied by a won and, secondly, this male appears
to be a nordic type. The Station recognizes, however, that Subject may have
ody claimed to be a Swede for cover purposes.
い。 The following is the comment made by Douglas J. PRINGLASS, the
Station's LIEINOY translator, concerning Attachment A:
He
"The exact spelling; of this neme could not be determined.
charted by naying that it is W AN.. and then stopped, emphasizing
the two dots above A. It is very strange that he, beln, a vele did not
seck the ald of his Swedish Consulate, but applied to the Covlet Na-
bacsy and asked for a man, whom he met by chance (?) in a restaurant.
Cut stronger still is the response of the Embassy officials, who went
out of their way to find a chip for him. Usually requests of this
nature are brushed aside and quite often in a very rude wanner. Judging
from his non-British accent ani almost flawless English, he rust have
lived in the United States or Cennda for quite some time." (The Station
PEDWOOD officer agrees with FEIGLASS comment regarding the usual re-
luctance of Soviet Fabassy officials to help in a matter of this type.)
4. Station Mexico has no record of any member os the Sovies Thbassy
travelling to Oaxaca during this period.
Station Hexico haso traces on Dubject.

Headquarters will note from the above that three lines were disconnected in
order to cover three Yugoslav lines. Two of the lines which were disconnected
were Cuban Embassy lines, both were not in use by the Cubans. One was in
the apartment which had been vacated by Ramon Sinobas and not occupied by
other Cubans. The other was a telephone in the Cuban Embassy which was
never answered. The Cubans are trying to get Sinobas' line moved to the
Embassy. They have also asked for the telephone company to repair 14-92-14.
As soon as these lines are working again, coverage of two of the Yugoslav
Embassy lines will be dropped in order to pick up all the Cuban lines which
are presumed to have a much higher priority.
3. Processing of LIENVOY Information
1
The Station continues to receive full transcripts in Spanish on the
Cuban lines (three), the Soviet Embassy lines (five), and as of 18 and 23
September the Yugoslav lines (three). These transcripts are received each
morning for the day before. During September, the LIENVOY monitors
transcribed 1396 pages in addition to the daily resumen.
The outside translators now working on LIENVOY transcripts are
Orville HORSFALL, staff agent, who is used for almost any backlog which
begins to occur.
:
David B. SCHLAGETER, field contract agent, who transcribes the
Czech take.
Victor W. OBOLD, career agent, who transcribes the Yugoslav portion
of the Yugoslav take.
1
Douglas J. FEINGLASS, staff agent, who continues to transcribe the
Russian language portion of the Soviet take.

a. On 2 September 1963 a Russian speaking female contacted
the Soviet Embassy and asked for Svyatoslav Fedorovich KUZNETSOV, KGB.
She identified herself by name and as a professor from New Orleans. She
gave the address of her apartment and asked for a meeting. This lead was
promptly followed up by station investigative assets who identified the woman
and learned that she was attending a philosophers' conference at the University
of Mexico. She returned to the United States on 17 September. All available
information was forwarded to Headquarters for passing to ODENVY.
b. MEXI-6135 reported the contact between an unidentified Czech
woman and the Czech Embassy.
5. Liaison
On 18 September 1963 Oliver G. GALBOND and Willard C. CURTIS
met with LIELEGANT and LIERGO. They also saw LIELEGANT on 20
September.
6. Security
There were no security problems during this month.
7. Technical
There were no technical problems which AREHART could not handle.
8. Personnel
Robert B. RIGGS continues to meet Arnold AREHART each morning
before 0800 hours to receive all LIENVOY tapes and trascripta from the
previous day. The daily meetings with Victor W. OBOLD and David B.
SCHLAGETER, the two EE translators, Wertransferred on 18 September 1963
from the Station EE case officer to the KURIOT technician, Gregory D.
PARMUTH who delivers and receives reels and transcripts from them each
day. PARMUTH also acts as a cutout for Douglas J. FEINGLASS.
Paul V. LEVISTER, Headquarters KUTUBE officer, visited the
Station from 22 September to 1 October to consult with LIENVOY and LIFEAT
case officers in preparation for a report to be written on the two projects
as examples of tap operations which produce both positive intelligence and
operational leads.
9. Production
There is attached a list of reports, cables and dispatches forwarded to
Headquarters during this month.

PERSONALITY BRIEF
1. General Lazaro CARDENAS del Rio
As a pro-Communist, anti-United States former (1934-1940)
President of Mexico, CARDENAS plays an important role in the
political activities of Mexico by virtue of his being the
spirtual leader of a great part of the Mexican left. His
leftist sympathies appear to fall primarily with the current
regime in Cuba (He alledgedly is a close personal friend of
Fidel CASTRO), secondarily with Communist China, and
lastly with the USSR.
2. Braulio MALDONADO Sandez
MALDONADO is a politically unscrupulous pro-Communist
former Governor of Baja California. He is a national leader
of at least three Mexican leftist organizations: (1) FEP
(People's Electoral Front), united single front of Mexican
Communists and Leftists; (2) MLN (National Liberation
Movement), rabidly anti-U.S., pro-Cuba Communist Front; and
(3) CCI (Independent Peasants' Center), radical, anti-Mexican
Government organization. Having been banished from Mexico
until after the 1964 elections for anti-government activities,
MALDONADO is currently in Europe and seeking admittance to
the USSR, obstensibly to visit his daughter who is a student
at the Friendship University in Moscow.
3. Alonso AGUILAR Monteverde
AGUILAR is a prominent pro-Communist Mexican intellectual
who is the titular head of the MLN (National Liberation
Movement), rabidly anti-U.S., pro-Communist front. He is a
full-time professor at the National Autonomous University of
Mexico and maintains active contact with several international
leftist and Communist figures. He has recently travelled to
Cuba and Warsaw.
4. Jorge Leonidas TAMAYO Castillejos
TAMAYO is a Communist professor at the National Autonomous
University of Mexico. He is a leading member of many Communist
front activities in Mexico including the CMP (Mexican Peace
:
1
50-166-55/3

-2-
قتم
Committee), the MLN (National Liberation Movement), and the
CEM (Circle of Mexican Studies). He has been in contact with
several leftist figures of various echelon, including Gen.
Lazaro CARDENAS, the Cuban Ambassador to Mexico, and Polish,
Soviet, and Chinese Communist officials. TAMAYO's son has
studied in Warsaw and travelled to the USSR and Communist
China.
5. Jose David ALFARO Siqueiros
ALFARO, one of Mexico's most prominent artists, has been
imprisoned for eight (S) years as a consequence of the role
he played in the Communist-inspired railroad stike of 1959,
He is a leader of the PCM (Mexican Communist Party) and has
visited the Soviet Union. He fought for the Loyalist Army
in the Spanish Civil War and was later arrested in Mexico
for complicity in the murder of Leon TROTSKY's secretary.
ALFARO has a long history of pro-Communist, anti-U.S. leanings.
6. Roberto ROMERO Adams
ROMERO is an informant for the Cuban Intelligence Service
in Mexico.
7. Enrique GONZALEZ Pedrero
Pro-Communist professor at the National Autonomous
University of Mexico, GONZALEZ Pedrero has contributed to the
writing or editing of at least five (5) leftist publications
in Mexico. He is a member of the National Committee of the
MLN, has alledgedly received training in the Soviet Union,
and has travelled to Cuba twice in recent times.
8. Ignacio ACOSTA Lagunes
Pro-Communist ACOSTA, a lawyer, is an aide of General
CARDENAS and a leading member of the MLN. He frequently has
contact with high-level personnel of both the Cuban and
Soviet Embassies in Mexico City. His political activities
include travel to Cuba and the Soviet Union, aid in the
management of the Communist Trade Fair in Mexico, and a great
deal of participation in promoting sympathy for the Cuban
Revolution in Mexico.

-3-
9. Direccion Federal de Seguridad - Federal Security Police
The principal functions of this security unit are to:
(1) Provide a plain-clothed security detail for the President,
(2) maintain an extensive telephone tap activity on both
the Rightist and Leftist political opposition forces, and
(3)perform investigations and arrests of primarily political
offenses. The unit's agents are largely poorly trained,
insecure, and unreliable. Their professional characteristics
are best described as being dishonest, cruel, and abusive.
The position, at this moment, of Manuel RANGEL Escamilla as
Director General of DFS is precarious.
10. Politica
A Marxist anti-U.S. semi-monthly magazine published in
Mexico, Politica is printed by Talleres Graficos de Mexico,
the same shop which prints La Voz de Mexico. In addition to
the modest revenues derived from a circulation of 15,000
to 25,000, Politica is financed by the Soviet Embassy, the
MLN, the PPS, and possibly, the Cuban Embassy. As an
indication of the Mexican government's assessment of the
capability of this magazine to influence public opinion, it
15 worthwhile noting that Politica frequently experiences a
great degree of difficulty in printing and circulating itself
due to the government's repressive efforts.
11. Movimiento de Liberacion Nacional (MLN)
Organized under the influence of the PCM in August 1961,
the MLN today is dedicated to the furtherance of the mutual
interests of its adherents who are found primarily in the
ranks of the PRI, the PPS, the PCM, the CNC and the UGOCM.
The MLN's objective is to gain leftist political represen-
tation in the government by inciting PRI to accept leftists
into its camp. As a consequence of this objective, the mission
of MLN is to generate evidence of popular leftist sympathy
by means of fomenting agitation among the popular, labor, and
peasant masses.
12. Confederacion de Trabajadores de la America Latina (CTAL)
The CTAL has recently been replaced by the CUTAL (Single
Confederation of Latin American Workers). Until recently, the

-4-
pro-Communist, CTAL, which is described as being the liaison
bureau of the WFTU (World Federation of Trade Unions) whose
headquarters are in Prague, was headed by Vicente LOMBARDO
Toledano.
13. Prensa Latina
Operationg directly under the Cuban Communist regime,
Prensa Latina is obstensibly a press service. In reality,
however, it is the official propaganda organ of the Cuban
Government. Prensa Latina works closely with Tass, the
Soviet Agency; with Hsinhua, the Chinese Agency;and with
Cetepka, the Czechoslovakian Agency.

1. Reference is made to your question about the type informa-
tion boeded on GUTIERREZ.
Headquarters is interested in "current"
information on his activities, and especially on his travels and his
contact with Kanuel VEGA Perez, Chief of G-2 at the Cuban Embassy
in Mexico City. The comment on fi-7289 regarded only the non-
dissemination of the report, and was not intended to discourage the
Station from reporting information on meetings between GOTIERREZ
and VEGA.
2. Headquarters would appreciate receiving, on a continuing
basis, pertinent information on GUTIERREZ extracted from the
LIENVOT take.

MENORANDUM FOR: Chief, Foreign Intelligence
SUBJECT: TDY to Mexico City
1. After taking a good look at LIENVOY and LIFEAT, I would agree
with the persons I talked with in Mexico; they maintain that any well-
run tap operation should produce substantial intelligence information,
provided the targets are of intelligence interest, and provided also
there are people at the station who look for it and are able to recog-
nize it. The case of LIFEAT is interesting in this respects It has
been deprived of its most productive lines in favor of LIENVOY, and
yet its intelligence production compares favorably, with that of the
other productive taps, except LIENVOY.
2. Mexico has people who can detect any little item of intelli-
gence significance. This includes the Chief of Station, who goes over
the highlights of the previous day's take every morning and marks
certain items for action by station case officers or reports officers.
The reports officers work on copies of the take at the same time.
3. There are several aspects of LIENVOY that make it an excellent
operation and an outstanding producer of intelligence. I will describa
thes in detail when my notes get here from the station. The principal
factors in the success of LIRNVOY seem to be the following.
a.
The agreement made with top Maxican officials, unlike
many such agreements elsewhere, is as much in effect today as it
was at the start: the targeting is not based on personal politics;
the intercept staff has stayed on the job; the equipment is con-
sidered to be on loan from CIA.
b. The native monitoring staff has reached a peak of effec-
tiveness that everyone at the station praises very highly.
c.
The station is organized to handle the take speedily as
soon as it comes in. The Chief of Station, the case officers, the
reports officers, all work on it at the same time and exchange
views on hot items. They do not let reports backlogs accumulate.

:
d. Bach new item on a target person is linked to a past
history; what appears as a fragmentary bit in a conversation
becomes a meaningful development in a continuous story. Conti-
muity on the job makes this possible.
e. The equipsant is kept in good working order by complete
cleaning and checking of each unit once a month. The 32 units
in use today are those installed in 1959.
4. A detailed description of LIENVOY and its counterpart LIFEAT
should provide good models with which to compare other tap operations.
It should give criteria for good procedures. It should give some idea
of the desirable size of such operations, considering the available
targets, the size of the station, and the other tasks and operations of
the station. It should show what the station puts into ita tap opera-
tions and what it gets out of then. LIENVOY and LIFEAT are an interesting
example of two interacting operations, one Joint and the other independ-
ent.
5. My stay in Nexico was as interesting and fruitful as it was
enjoyable. And I hope it was not too great a burdan on the station.

1. There follows the monthly operational report for Project LIENVOY
activities during August 1963.
2. Target Lines - August 1963.
There were no changes in the target lines daring this reporting
period. The Yugoslav lines have not yet been connected but one of them should
be operating by the und of September.
3. Frocessing of LIENVOY Information.
HMMA-22000 dated 21 August 1963 transmitted the first group of
copies of transcripts against the Cuban lines. Since that time, carbon copies
have been forwarded to Headquarters on a weekly basis.
Orville HORSFALL, staff agent, has eliminated the backlog of
some fifty reels from the Russian lines and at the present time is working on
the Polish LIFEAT coverage which Woodrow GABFOTT (ps) has not been able to
handle. HORSFALL will be used in this capacity only until the Station has a
higher priority job for him or until his permanent assignment is determined.
There has been no change in Douglas J. FEINGLASS' assignment
since the last progress report.
4. Exploitation of LIFNVOY Information.
The following are some (not all) of the exploitations during
August 1963 of leads from LIENVOY:
a.
LIENVOY contributed support to the REWOOD AEJUMBO oper
ation during this period by confirming several contacts between the principals
Involved. Details of this case have been reported by the Station SR Case Officer.

to travel alone by plane to
DIZTAG diplomat stationed in Caracas planned
Mexico City via Panama carrying a diplomatie pouch for turnover in Mexico and
return to Caracas with diplomatic mail received from DIZTAG couriers in Mexico.
This was reported to Headquarters, Carmens, and Panama as a possible opportunity
to obtain or copy these pouches. (MF-XI-5681)
c.
On 7 August this project revealed contact between the
Partido Popular Socialista and the Soviet Ambassy. Roberto JARAMILLO Flores,
national leader of the Juventud Popular Socialista, the youth organization of
the Marxist Partido Popular Socialista, arranged for an urgent meeting with
Nikolaly Sergeyevich LEONCV, Third Secretary and Cultural Officer of the Soviet
Embassy. It will be recalled that LEONOV went to the Soviet Union and acted
as interpreter for Mdel CASTRO on his visit there earlier this year. MEXI-5705
transmitted a report on JARAMILLO's contact with LEONOV.
d. On 5 August LIENVOY reported the presence in Mexico of
one Doctor Paul BARAN who was in contact with Cuban Embassy officials and prom-
inent Mexican Marxist intellectuals. BARAN appeared to be on a trip throughout
South America. A check of Station files revealed that this was probably identical
with Paul Alexander BARAN, Russian born naturalized U. S. citizen and professor
of economics at Stanford University, Palo Alto, California. BARAN has visited
Mexico in the past and made contact with American Communists and Mexican leftists.
This information was sent to Headquarters in MEXI-5735 for dissemination to
ODENVY.
e.
On 12 August William ROSE, who identified himself as a
student from the United States studying at the University of Mexico (UNAM) asked
for an interview with Vicente LOMBARDO Toledano, Secretary General of the Popular
Socialist Party (PPS). ROSE claimed to have letters of Introduction to LOMBARDO
from laborr leaders in the United States. A check of Station files revealed
William Maurice ROSE, 1474 Federal Way, Salt Lake City, Utah, as a student at
the UNAM. This report was sent to Headquarters in MEXI-5752 for dissemination

MEMORANDUM

CUBAN DEFECTOR
SUBJECT: Operation
24
Briefing in Guatemala (Chief of State Peralta)

1. The briefing was held in a small luxurious government conference room on the afternoon of Friday 9 October 1964, lasting about 2 1/2 hours.  (Chief of state Colonel Peralta, Minister of Government Colonel Serrano and Intelligence Chief Colonel Porres attended for the Guatemalans.

TWO CIA OFFICERS WERE PRESENT

2. At the request of the SENIOR CIA OFFICER prefixed the operational briefing with a brief description of how the U. S. Intelligence community operates, of the role of CIA, of the need for compartmentation and security, and specifically of how the foregoing considerations make it imperative for (the Guatemalans) to adopt security precautions which will ensure that the information we provide and the joint operations we undertake are compartmented within the Guatemalen government (and, in fact, discussed by the Guatemalan government exclusively with our representatives in the fisia).

3. Following the introductory remarks outlined above, I briefed the group on the DGI structure, the DGI operational techniques, and specifically on DGI aims and operations in Guatemala. The (president)lent close attention throughout the briefing and examined the exhibits closely, including the DGI intelligence requirements for (Guatemala) and the (Salvadoran "Caso Zapato" file).

4. After the foregoing exposition, I explained our aims in exploiting the information

in this connection! asked for close cooperation and coordination of activities, promising that we shall do our utmost and making reference to our travel lists and watch list.

-3-

h. The effectiveness of his own actions against guerrillas in (Guatemala) and his determination to "meet violence with violence;"

i. Recognition of the importance of the information covered in the briefing and of its exploitation;

j. Reference to the case of the (Mexican courier) working for (Cuban intelligence) and now detained in (Guatemala).

k. Acceptance of security restrictions and his decision to hold the information to those present.

l. In replying to the remarks of Colonel Peralta, I said that we appreciate the cooperation of Guatemala in the OAS and that we shall be most interested in the exploitation of the possibilities in the present case. I added that the matter of using force against Cuba is a policy matter on which I was not competent to comment but that the decisions made by the United States Government are based on careful study of detailed information (including information on Soviet intentions and capabilities.

8. At the conclusion of the meeting, (Peralta) asked for a copy of the requirements (which he already had gone over closely) and took the copy with him to study further.

-3-

ANOTHER
5. With reference to (Dalton's) case, because of the developments and plans in (El Salvador), I explained briefly the status of the (DALTON card)and the possibility of his being transferred to Guatemala). (This was in line with the discussion that occurred in (El Salvador) which included our officer, the Crealdent and the President's intelligence advisor, Colonel MEDRANO). In that the Guatemalan government take no action unless requested by President RIVERA or Colonel MEDRANO and that, if (DALTON) is transferred, one of our people probably would talk to (DALTONs) in (Guatemala)).

3. The (Chief of State Peralta) made a rather impassioned speech in which he covered the following points:

a. His own long experience in the OAS, in Cuba and in Central America;

b. His early warnings about Castro--which were disregarded;

c. The extent to which Guatemala has lived up to its obligations in the OAS; to which it has cooperated in efforts against Castro; and to which it has looked toward U.S. leadership;

d. The failure of the U. S. to take aggressive action against Cuba and the need for taking a hard line, including the use of force in support of military activity by the free Cubans and the other American countries;

e. His appreciation that the Soviets will not be willing to risk a nuclear war over Cuba;

f. Condemnation of Mexico for her dealings with Cuba, for failure to abide by her obligations in the OAS, and for permitting the Castroites to operate out of Mexico against other American countries;

g. The need for action against Mexico;

DAMA 31767 dated 11 April 1967
1. LIONION 1 photographic results continue to be satisfactory
for all concerned. It is therefore advisable that no changes in
proceduro be made at this time.
2. It is apparent that LIONION I releyed the incorrect devel-
oping formula for the pulso camera fils. Perhaps this error is due to
bis inactivity in processing such film for over a year. Since the
conception of this operation all pulse camera film has been developed
in Microdol X. On the other hand, Tri X film used in the LIONION 2
operation (Pentax camera and, Balscope) has traditionally been devel-
oped in Acufine.

3. All pulse camera film is processed at leadquarters by an
automatic Huston system. Time and temperature information which the
lab uses would be of little value to your development procedure.
results of your recent test indicate that it should be satisfactory
for an occasional check on the equipment.

Action: See paragraph 5.

1. The LIONION Pulse Camera has been working for well over a
year with no major technical problem. A few months ago the 100 foot
film magazine had to be repaired because the supply spindles had
tightened and put an excessive strain on the motor.

2.
More recently, the battery supply had dropped to about
22.5 volts or so causing erratic operation. The sensor relay between
the VLS-2 and the camera suffered the most because of chattering and
consequently arcing between the points..

3. To prevent failures of this type in the future, Raymond L.
BARCENAS is making a small battery charger at a nominal cost that
can be floated across the batteries keeping them fully charged.
We are doing it this way rather than ordering a DC power supply
because it is less expensive than a commercial model and will not
be bothered by house current interruptions or fluctuations.
however, WOACRE/PB foresees any problems by doing it this way, please
inform us.

4. On a recent visit to LIONION and a check of the equipment,
it was found that the lens of his FOCOMAT IC enlarger has a fungus
like smudge between the elements. We cannot detect any degradation
in print quality but would like to have a new one in case this is a
fungus and it gets worse.

5.
In summation it is requested that WOACRE/PB provide the
following to Mexico City, charge 7135-2403.

Transmittal of 35mm Pulse Camera

1. The attachment contains the defective 35mm Pulse Camera
previously reported in referenced cable. Very little additional
information can be supplied, concerning this mechanical fallure,
other than that reported in the reference. This particular camera
was installed on 16 June 1965 and operated normally from that date
until the afternoon of 28 June, at which time It began to continually
blow fuses. Hugh T. FRANCOTTE entered the LIONION photographic
basehouse that night, and when it was found that the problem could
not be corrected on the scene, the camera was removed and taken to
MKCHARITY for further troubleshooting. It was finally discovered
that the shutter motor was malfunctioning and partially burned-out.
Joseph M. RESCIGNO stated that since there was a definite "short"
in the motor, this would cause the camera fuses to constantly blow.

2. Also Included in the attachment are two (2), one hundred
foot capacity, film magazines. Both of these magazines are faulty,
causing the film to jam. They were both in use with the previous
Pulse Camera which became inoperative during late May and was
forwarded to KURIOT Headquarters for repair. FRANCOTTE had two (2)
new magazines in stock, and they were issued to LIONION/1 for use
with the camera presently being returned for repair or replacement.

is a full month earlier than reported in the reference.
AMMOP-1 is not a member of the committee preparing the agenda,
he said that he is being kept generally informed of developments
and that once the agenda is prepared he should be in a position
to influence a revision of the agenda in the event that there
are no items concerning Cuba or that the items listed are not
satisfactory. He said that the principal person with whom he
is in contact on this matter is Rafael CALDERA and that it
will be through CALDERA that he would hope to make his influence
felt. AMMOP-1- also said that he has been assured by CALDERA
that the Cuban case will be prominent in the agenda.

2. We will continue to keep Headquarters informed of
developments on this end.

The following analysis has been prepared in Wil Division and
is transmitted to all Mi Division Stations and Bases as a review
of the current status of Christian Democracy in Latin America and
an updating of Headquarters' view on the movement. We believe
the subject matter merits close and careful study by all Station
operations and reports officers whose comments are solicited.
FYI, this material, in a shorter and sanitized form was published
in the 3 March issue of the Current Intelligence Weekly Review,
and will thus be widely disseminated throughout the intelligence
community. However, the WOGEAR study could not includo much of
the "Conclusions" section since it was interpretative and had
operational overtones. Thus we've decided to send the full text
herein in book dispatch form.

1. The decisive victory of Eduardo Frei in the September 1964
Chilean Presidential election led many to hope that Christian
Democracy might develop significantly throughout Latin America
competing with Communism on ideological grounds and offering an
alternative, democratic route to social and economic progress.
Christian Democracy's advocacy of "Third Force" concepts plus
frequent manifestations of anti-Yankee syndrome caused some
observers to swallow hard, but there was no denying that these
concepts had an emotional appeal. This political charisma,
coupled with a commitment to, basic social reform and opposition to
Communism, and presented within an ideological framework stressing
the dignity of the human person, comprised a package of considerable
attractiveness to the Latin American, particularly the student and
middle class clements. This dispatch will review the current status
of the CD parties and the role of organizations -- ODCA, CLASC,
Party youth and student wings and European CD groups -- which

represent key factors in the development of the Christian Democratic
movement in Latin America. Our major purpose is to determine, some
two years after the Frei victory, whether the generally enthusiastic
assessment of Christian Democratic prospects engendered by this
highly significant election was justified.

I- CURRENT BALANCE SHEET OF CHRISTIAN DEMOCRACY

2. Parties of Current Significance. Christian Democratic
parties are generally agreed to be of current political significance
in only four Latin American countries -- Chile, Venezuela, El
Salvador and Peru.

a. The Chilean PDC is the only party with the respon-
sibility of governing; the solid victory of Frei in the 1964
presidential election was followed by an even more impressive
showing in the March 1965 congressional election. However, the
Party's reform program is being implemented with less than
deliberate speed, no progress has been made in weakening
Marxist leadership domination of the urban labor force, and
indications are that Frei's moderation will be increasingly
challenged by the left wing of the PDC.
:

b. The COPEI Party of Venezuela has strong hopes of
duplicating the victory of the Chilean Party in 1968 and
appears to have narrowed the gap between itself (22 percent
of the clectorate in 1963) and the governing Accion Democratica
Party (32 percent). COPEI Secretary General Rafael Caldera,
one of the few Latin American CD leaders of international
stature, is expected to be the Party's standard bearer in his
fourth try for the presidency.

c. In El Salvador, the PDC garnered 29 percent of the
votes in the March 1966 legislative election and one of its
leaders, Jose Napoleon Duarte, retained the mayoralty of San
Salvador. In less than six years the PDC has become the
leading opposition party. It has little chance of capturing
the presidency in 1967, but should be a strong contender by
1972, with Notre Dame-educated Mayor Duarte the likely
candidate.

d. The Peruvian PDC formed a coalition with the Popular
Actica (AP) Party in 1963; it currently holds two cabinet
positions. Some would argue that the Peruvian CD (with only
4 percent of the votes in 1963) has no real future in compe-
tition with the dominant AP and the long-established APRA,
both reformist parties, and thus should not be included in a
listing of significant CD parties. Some weight is added to
this argument by the very recent split off of a dissident
faction of the PDC into a separate party. However, the
inclusion of the Peruvian party here is based primarily on the
fact that it is the only CD group participating in a coalition
government and thus contributes an element of stability to the
political scene in Peru.

3. Parties of Moderate Potential. Applying even the most
generous criteria to the judgement of potential, there are not
more than four CD parties -- in the Dominican Republic, Panama,
Brazil and Guatemala -- that might develop as moderately important
forces over the next five years.

s. The Dominican PRSC stands as a prime example of
CD irresponsibility from the time Caonabo Javier took over
Party leadership in the wake of the Dominican Revolution in
April 1965. It has collaborated with the entire spectrum of
Marxist-lining parties, and moderation of its extreme
cilitancy in the near future appears unlikely. The PRSC has
developed a small but talented cadre of leadership, primarily
from the university ranks, and is buttressed by the strongest
CLASC affiliate (CASC) in the Hemisphere.

b. The Panamanian PDC was registered some five years
ago and polled only 3.1 percent of the votes in 1964. Although
it continues a miniscule party, it has made significant
organizational strides and its philosophy of social justice
gives it roots lacking by most Panamanian parties, which are
largely personalistic or tied to financial interests. If the
Panama CD succeeds in expanding its middle-class base and
attracts militants from the predominantly negro and mestizo
population, it could become a force of some importance.

c. While the Brazilian PDC polled a mere 4 percent of
the vote in 1964, the Party has significant strength in three
ey states of the Center-South (Parana, Sao Paulo, and
Guanabara). Like all other pre-Castello Branco political
parties, the PDC was unable to campaign under its own banner
in the presidential and parliamentary elections of late 1966.
Expanded political activity will probably be permitted after
the seating of President Costa e Silva in March 1967, but it
is expected that the number of legally recognized political
parties will be limited. It appears likely that the PDC will
have to merge with another party if it is to compete in the
legislative life of the country. If the. PDC joins with a
party that has strength outside the present PDC strongholds,
and the PDC message and mystique sets the tone for such a new
political entity, the net result could be expanded importance
for Christian Democracy in Brazil.

d. The Guatemalan PDC was only recently recognized as
a legally constituted party. This nascent group has good
strength in the youth and student movement and growth
potential in the important campesino sector. Current direction
of the party leaves much to be desired; PDC leader Rene de
Leon appears honest and intelligent but he has little organ-
izational flair or charisma. His leadership is being challenged
by a group of militant "Young Turks" on the left. With more
vigorous leadership and the development of middle echelon
cadres the party could develop significantly.

4. Parties of Insignificance. The remaining nine Christian
Democratic parties -- in Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica,
Ecuador, Mexico, Nicaragua, Paraguay and Uruguay -- show scant
promise of developing into forces of national importance over the
next five years. Leadership of even modest stature exists only
in Argentins (Salvador Allende, Horacio Sualdo) and Bolivia

(Reme 1 Katale). These parties appear doomed to the role of
bridesmaids to the handful of parties that really count.

II -PARTY YOUTH WINGS

5. CD Strength in Universities Ahead of Party Strength. As
with all political groups in Latin America, the vast majority of
CD party militants are drawn from the ranks of student appendages
active in the local universitics. In most countries of the hemi-
sphere, CD voting strength on the campus is much more significant
thần the political strength of the parent party. A few examples.
illustrate this point: In Panama, the Party polled 3.1 percent
of the vote in 1964 (and probably would poll not more than 5
percent today), while its University youth got 12.8 percent in the
January 1966 election. The Dominican PRSC received 5.4 percent of
the vote in 1962 (and its present strength could well be lower
because of internal divisions and leadership conflicts), but its
youth wing on the campus garnered 40.2 percent of the vote in
May 1966. In Venezuela, COPEI polled 22 percent of the vote in
1953; its student wing on the campus of the Central University,
however, polled 40.2 percent of the vote in 1966. These comparitive
figures suggest some conclusions which are presented in Paras. 19
and 20 below.

6. Radicalization of Youth Wings. Several CD leaders, most
notably Frei and Caldera, have expressed considerable concern over
the growing radicalization of party youth wings. That youth groups
of every political stripe assume positions to the left of their
parties is nothing new, but the situation in several CD groups has
gotten badly out of hand. In several countries only an opaque line
divides the positions assumed by CD youth groups (or important wings)
from the stance assumed by Marxist youth elements. In Venezuela,
the wing of the COPEI youth headed by Marta Sosa is so "far-out"
it has carned the sobriquet "the Astronauts." Chilean President
Frei reportedly told a German Christian Democrat that his youth
wing is in danger of becoming Marxist. In Panama, the dominant
wing of the CD youth has assumed positions at least as radical as
the Communists. And in the Dominican Republic the Social Christian
group in the National University is allied with the Communist
students.
:

7. Youth Tending to Push Parties Further Left. The great
concern of responsible party leaders is that youth input to the
parties will swell the ranks of the radical wings and push the
parties further left. Some observers believe that the CD youth
problem has been exaggerated and that the "hot heads" will mellow
once they participate directly in party life and cope with hard
political reality. While this is partially true, we would take
issue with this relaxed view. The raw material to be molded is
far different than it was ten years ago; since that time the demand
for revolutionary (even convulsive) change has mushroomed -- ard
among the youth the cry has assumed din proportions. The natural
mellowing process will no longer produce the same magic.

S. Need for Training. Some believe that the only way of
arresting the CD youth drift to the left in the foreseeable future
lies in massive and intensive youth and political cadre training.
Efforts in this direction to date (at IFEDEC, several national
political training institutes, ORMEU and various student training

courses) have been discouraging. In most instances the teachers
share identical biases with the students with the result that
misconceptions are reinforced and no new horizons are opened up.
Frei and Caldera have asked the German Institute for International
Solidarity to increase its support in the student training field,
but the Germans, while recognizing the serious need, have thus far
declined to increase their commitment. To accomplish anything
significant, the Germans believe a massive program wast be launched
(which would tax their current resources), and they wonder whether
tho CD youth situation has been permitted to drift too long to
salvage.
:

III - THE IMPACT OF CLASC ON THE CHRISTIAN DE:OCRATIC MOVEMENT

9. CLASC Poses Sericus Danger for CD Movement. A KUMONK
study points out that "Organized labor could contribute substantially
to the development of well-organized CD political parties in the.
hemisphere, but it also offers the best chance for CD extremists
to cause harm to the movement." Few would argue that how the CD
movement fares and the image it projects depend in not insignificant
measure on the posture assumed and progress achieved by CLASC.
More often than not, the judgement of a mass movement is based on
the worst element comprising it -- and in this regard CLASC is
challenged only by the party youth and student wings. As an
organized labor force CLASC has been a dismal failure (with the
exception of its campesino arm); its only impact and sole raison
d'etre up to this time has been as a political action instrument
with primary appeal to the working classes. It is unlikely that
CLASC, under Maspero leadership, will mellow as do parties when
they achieve the responsibility of government.

10. CLASC Has Maintained Posture of Independence. Despite its
"Christian" label, CLASC has consistently maintained that it is not
subservient to the Christian Democratic movement or any member
party. The statement cannot be disputed, for while CLASC is guilty
of most of the same aberrations as the least responsible of the CD
parties, it invariably comits its follies independently, (often,
in fact, setting an example that is cmulated by the parties). But
while CLASC can defend its claim of independence, it is also true
that CLASC does not discourage the belief that it is the chosen
labor instrument of the Christian Democratic movement, although
this label has never been formally bestowed.
:

11. Closer Ties Between CLASC and CD Movement Appear Likely.
It appears likely that a more organic participation of CLASC in CD
affairs is in the offing. A Seminar was held in Montevideo from
11-23 April (sponsored by the Christian Democratic Formation
Institute -- IFEDEC) for officials of CLASC who are also officers
of Christian Democratic parties. The Seminar, called for the
specific purpose of arranging closer coordination between the CD
political movement and the Christian labor movement, resulted in
the signing of the "Carta de Montevideo" on 20 April. The Act
calls for formal representation of ODCA in both the Christian
labor organization and CD party labor departments. To this end,
a Coordinating Comittee was formed -- the Comite Relacionador Y
Coordinador De Organizaciones Laborales y Funcionales De Los
Partidos Democrata Cristianos. The Act appeals to the CD parties

to request ODCA approval of the creation of this Coordinating
Committee and ODCA recognition of CLASC as its chosen haaispheric
labor instrument. The eventual approval of the ODCA leadership
appears likely; indeed, it is doubtful that the Act would have
emerged from the Montevideo Seminar if informal agreement of the
OFCA leadership had not been obtained in advance.

12. Negative CLASC Influence on Perty Youth Wings. Closer
CLASC identification with the CD political movement will likely
rub off negatively on the CD youth wings which invariably are further
left than their parent parties and identify much more closely with
the revolutionary image and mystique CLASC has som and propagated.
It is perhaps significant that CLASC has intensified its efforts
since January to establish youth appendages to the Christian labor
movement. This initiativa appears to have made greatest-progress
in Central America.

IV- THE ROLE OF ODCA

13. ODCA Contributes Little Positive Direction. The Latin
American CD partics formed their regional organization in
Montevideo in 1949 -- the Organizacion Democrata Cristiana de
America (ODCA). The current officers of ODCA are:

President
Vice President
Vice President
:
Rafael Caldera, Venezuela
: Hector CORNEJO Chavez, Peru
:
Rene DE LEON Schlotter, Guatemala
Secretary General: Tomas REYES Vicuna, Chile

ODCA has consistently assumed an anti-Yankee posture on a broad
range of key issues (most forcefully on the American intervention
in the Dominican Republic) out on balance has been less strident
in its criticism than several of its member parties (notably the
Chilean, Bolivian and Dominican CD's), probably because of
Caldera's restraining hand. The Organization would merit much
closer attention than we have given it to date if it had substantial
influence on or authority over member parties, or could apply
sanctions against national groups. But ODCA amounts to little
more than a fraternity. Its member parties have little ideological
homogencity and the cement of their union appears to be based more
on revolutionary mysticism (which most parties are careful to
qualify with adjectives like peaceful, democratic and Christian)
and m negative factors (hostility to the U.S., capitalism and the
oligarchies), than on a foundation of CD doctrine or basic agree-
ment on just what they want.

14. Efforts to Firm Up the ODCA Role. We have asked contacts
in European CD circles to prod ODCA to set criteria for membership
and behavior and that the Europeans weigh petitions for support
from the Latin American parties and organizations against these
criteria. DYVOUR officers have argued that while the Europeans
cannot realistically require nascent and ill-trained CD groups in
Latin America to hold to the same rigid standards of political
morality that have evolved in Europe, neither should the Europeans

continue to tolerate and thus abet the irresponsibility of the
Latin CO parties because there are no standards at ail. ODCA
leader Caldera appears to recognize the need för sleast some
basic ideological common ground among ODCA-member parties. But
no signal success has been achieved in this direction to date
and we are not at all sanguine that even modest progress will be
made in this regard in the foreseeable future. Reporting on the
Congress of the World Christian Democratic Union (CDU) held in
Lima in April 1966 indicates clearly that the Latin American
parties will not submit without combat to any effort (whether
initiated by the European financial backers of the CD movement
or by ODCA) that aims at imposing standards and controls that
will impinge on their complete freedom of action.

15. Formation of Central American Regional Grouping. The
Central American CD parties act in El Salvador in July 1966 to
establish a smaller regional grouping, The Union Democrata Cristiana
de Centroamerica (UDCCA). This action does not appear to reflect
any element of pique with ODCA (the relations of COPEI and Rafael
Caldera with the Central American parties appear close and cordial)
but rather a desire to establish a smaller and more cohesive unit
that can better address itself to the problems common to the
area and, to a lesser extent, to the individual CD parties. UDCCA
is comprised of five parties (in Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua,
Costa Rica and Panama), with the possibility that a sixth party
will be formed in Honduras.

V EUROPEAN CD ROLE AND INFLUENCE

16. The European Christian Democratic Union (ECDU). The
European CD parties were first to establish a regional organization,
the Nouvelle Equipe Internationales (EI) in 1947. The NEI never
played a major role in world Christian Democratic affairs. From
the outset the Latin American parties maintained their closest
ties with individual leaders of the CD movement in Europe, particu-
larly those involved in financial operations with the sister parties
and CLASC in Latin America. The NEI became progressively less
significant and in recent years was virtually moribund. But in
mid-1965 the organization was revamped and re-christened as the
European Christian Democratic Union (ECDU). Its newly elected
President, Mariano Rumor, Secretary General of the Italian PDC,
appears intent on making the ECDU a strong organization which will
at least match the Socialist International in stature.

17. European Financial Support to the CD Parties. The two CD
organizations which have contributed most heavily to the support
of the Latin American CD parties and related organizations are the
Institute for International Solidarity (IIS) and the International
Solidarity Foundation (FIS). Between them they will contribute
an estimated $800,000 to $1,000,000 to the CD parties and CLASC in
Calendar Year 1967. It was recently reported that the COPEI party
of Venezuela will receive $450,000 for the 1968 election from FIS
at the rate of $160,000 per year commencing in 1966.
3.
The IIS. The Institute for International Solidarity,
headed until recently by Dr. Peter Molt (the new Director is
Adolf Herkenrath), is an arm of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation
of the German Christian Democratic Union (CDU). Like its

Social Fouadracie counterpart (che Friedrich Ebert Foundation),
the bulk of IS's operating budget comes from the German
Government. IIS maintains several permane.it representatives
in Latin America aid supports several CD activities directly.
But it also contributes more than fifty percent of the FIS
budget.

home International Solidarity Fund was
formally created on 30 March 1964 to avoid duplication of
Financial support efforts on the part of the European CD
parties and other CD-oriented groups in Latin America. The
name was later changed to the International Solidarity
Foundation (FIS) to avoid confusion with the solidarity fund
of CISC and other organizations. The FIS operates as an arm
of the ECDU, with headquarters in Rome. Its most important
leaders are: Dr. Johannes Schauff (President of the FIS, a
German national and close personal friend of Konrad Adenauer),
Mariano Rumor, Adolf Herkenrath and August Vanistendael
(Sceretary General of the International Federation of
Christian Trade Unions -- CISC).

18. Difference in Function of IIS and FIS. From the start
of its activities, the Germans and Italions have contributed
almost the entire FIS budget (in 1964, for example, Vanistendael
contributed only $15,000 from the CISC International Solidarity
Fund). FIS appears to be the exclusive European CD channel for
örganizational support to the Latin American CD parties. While
the IIS is the rich partner in the IIS-FIS tandem and could easily
fund the Latin American parties directly, the FIS channel is
preferred by the Germans and has two major advantages: First,
since FIS is a regional solidarity instrument with representation
(but not contributions) from all the European parties, the
responsibility for support to certain controversial Latin parties
is watered down and distributed among the European CD's collectively.
Thus a Latin American government or party in competition with the
local CD's cannot easily make a formal demarche to the IIS or the
German government. Second, it is easier to obfuscate the magnitude
of European organizational support to the Christian Democratic
movement in Latin America if it is channeled through a multi-party
organization. The Germans have limited IIS funding to less
controversial areas support to youth and student formation,
political training institutes and CLASC training institutes.
(See Attachment A for a detailed flow chart.)

CONCLUSIONS

19. CD's Challenge Communist Domination of the University.
It was noted in Para. Sabove that almost without exception CD
strength in the university greatly exceeds the voting strength of
the parent party. The same is true of the Communists, and it is
a fact that Communist/Christian Democratic strength on the campus
is overwhelmingly dominant throughout the hemisphere. Few would
take issue with the conclusion that the vast majority of university
youth are attracted to movements projecting an inspirational
message (the word "inspirational" more accurately characterizes
the CD movement than does "ideological") or an aura of revolutionary
mystique. During the past few years Communist voting losses in
the university have been picked up mainly by the Christian Democrats
the vote has shifted from one movement with a message to another.
It would appear that the Christian Democrats are the only political
group capable of challenging the Communists' hemisphoric domination
of the campus.

BOOK DISPATCH 5961
20. CO Strength in University to Indicator of Co Party
Strength of Potential, Fras the foregoing, however, it does
not follow that the growth of Co strength in the university
presages a corresponding increase in CD party strength. While
voting patterns in the university provide valuable fasights on
population (particularly youth) attitudeo and aspirations, these
patterns are not a reliable barometer of either organized party
strength or future potential. in no country of Latin America
is the voting strength of the 's or the Communists nearly as
strong cong the population at large as it is on the campus.
Ona reason is that the university population of Latin America is
less than 2 percent of the total population. The CD campus leader
almost invariably graduates from student politics to more direct
party involvement when he leaves the university -- even if the
party has no discernable future. It would appear, however, that
the non-university youth (lecking the pseudo-intellectual pre-
tensions and the self-bestowed elite label of the university-
trained) are much less inclined to vote and militate for Christian
Democracy simply because it has emotional or inspirational appeal.

21. CD Failure to Transform Affinity of Lower Classes Into
Votes. The inadequately educated and the lower social classes in
Latin America are inevitably motivated by the pragmatism of the
possible; to vote for a party that has limited potential to achieve
national power, simply because it espouses views that hit responsive
chords, is a luxury ho believes ha cannot afford. Better, he
thinks, to vote for the least objectionable of the traditional
parties. Christian Democracy remains basically a middle-class
mover With fow exceptions (Chile, the Dominican Republic and
to a lesser extent Venezuela) it has scant worker or campesino
appeal. By and large, Christian Democracy has failed to reach
those on the lower rungs of the social ladder.

22. Individual Party Fortumes Appear Unaffected by CD
Progress Elsewhere. Many expected, or at least hoped, that the
Frei victory in Chile would give impetus to the development of
the CD movement throughout the hemisphere. This has not happened.
There is no evidence that individual CD parties were either assisted
or hindered in their development by the Chilean success story. And
yet the view persists that the Chilean victory was a boon to the
movement's potential and progress. During the past year COPEI
leader Rafuel Caldera has broadcast a variation on this theme that
several European CD leaders have taken up. They argue that COPEI
must emerge victorious in the 1953 election if the CD movement is
to maintain its momentum, for sa ideologically based movement
cannot avoid peaking off, and gradually down, if it has only one
significant victory to cite over a period of several years. We
would reject the view -- based on election results in Argentina,
Colombia, El Salvador, the Dominican Republic and Uruguay -- that
individual party fortunes will be affected in any significant
measure by the successes or failures of sister parties elsewhere.
What appears to emerge from these elections is rather solid
evidence that the national parties will sink or swim on their
own devices, based largely on leadership abilities, the development
of micile echelon cadres, organizational talents, appeal to the
"socially disinherited," and the pragmatism of local issues and
considerations. International events (with rare exception) count
for little, and the influence of ODCA and the successful CD parties
even less.

23. Growth Potential Exists, But Much Less Than Originally
Anticipated. The CD movement has made only modest progress the
past two years. Indications are that the development of the
movement will be much slower and less extensive than many anti-
cipated in the first flush of enthusiasm following the Frei
victory, for it has many problems to resolve. Chief among these,
perhaps, 1s CD failure to reach the lower social classes and to
develop a significant worker base. The chances of CLASC contri-
buting positively to correct this failure appear remote. Another
major problem is the absence of an ideological commonnground,
despite the lip service paid to the Papal Encyclicals and the
Catholic social philosophers, and the failure to enunciate minimum
behavioral standards that these philosophical root's would impose.
This deficiency is the root cause of two manifestations: First,
a propensity to consort with Communist and assorted Marxist groups
(c.g., in Colombia, Bolivia, the Dominican Republic and Panama).
Second, the progressive radicalization of party youth wings which
threatens to push the parent parties further left. The fact,
remains, nevertheless, that Christian Democracy is the most unified
non-Communist movement in Latin America. It cannot be labeled
democratic or anti-Communist because of the behavioral aberrations
of several national parties.
:

24. Need for Eclectic Operational Approach to CD's. The
ranks of those who viewed Christian Democratic prospects with
great enthusiasm two years ago including the European financial
backers of the movement -- have dwindled considerably. But those
who have been critics of Christian Democracy from the outset (many
of whom might be described as the "visceral denigrators") have
displayed no more perception in evaluating CD prospects. The
head-in-the-sand generalization that Christian Democracy has no
future does not stand the challege of investigation. Neither does
the assertion that Christian Democracy is the hemispheric wave of
the future. The only valid generalization that might be made on
CD prospects is that all generalizations are false. We would
submit that the only valid approach to the CD phenomenon is to assess
the movement and make operational judgements on a country-by-
country basis. There are some countries where the collapse of
the party would be no loss. The key question is: Can the party
develop as a positive element in national political stability?
If so, it is incumbent on the Station to develop assets within
the party and to examine the need for operational involvement.
Station posture toward the CD movement must be based on the raw
realities of the local situation, case by case.

DEBRIEFING REPORT : Santiago SANCHEZ do la Torre aka "Jose Antonio"
DATE & PLACE : Safehouse #182, 29-30 August (0900 - 1300 hrs)
CASE OFFICER : Claronce E. SMERYAGE

1. Subject began to work against the CASTRO regime with the MRP in 1960. At that time he was employed in the Santa Clara power plant as a technician. His job was controlling the amount of electric current that was distributed. (Attachment "A" contains a list of Subject's friends currently employed in power plants in Cuba). On 17 April 1961 Subject made contact with a KUBARK infiltration team and began to assist the team. Team consisted of Segundo BORGES "Pepe GONZALES and AMARGO/1. Case Officer Comment: AMARGO/1 has confirmed the fact that Subject worked with his team In Cuba. Subject permitted the team to install their RS-1 set in his house located at #219 Carretera de Camajuani in the City of Santa Clara.. He also safehoused the team on occasion and permitted them to hold meetings at his house. After the failure of Playa Giron the team reorganized the MRR in Las Villas Province, selecting Subject to be the Civil Coordinator of the movement in that province. Enrique FORTEGA was selected as the Military Coordinator. On 21 July 1961, while ORTEGA and Subject yere in Havana for discussions with MRR leaders (AMIHOOK/1 and Juan FALCON)the KUBARK infiltration team and many other members of the MRR in Las Villas, including Subject's wife, were arrested. (Discussions were about actions to take place 26 July 1961).

2. Maria RODRIGUEZ Posa from Santa Clara, age 50/55 yrs, called ORTEGA in Havana and told him not to return to Santa Clara as many people had been arrested. ORTEGA passed the information to Subject but as subject thought it applied only to ORTEGA he returned to Santa Clara late at night on 22 July. He went to his home and on 23 July proceeded to work at the power plant. Maria RODRIGUEZ Posadintercepted him on his way home for lunch and told him that the G-2 was at his home and that they also were going to the power plant to arrest him. Subject also learned that there was surveillance on his home on the night of 22 July 1961, but the person watching the house had gotten drunk and did not see subject when he returned from Havana. From that moment until entering an Embassy on 6 September 1962, subject lived "black".

3. Subject proceeded to the outskirts of Santa Clara where a friend, Efrain WAREN, resided. His friend told him to go to Havana. While driving to Havana Subject met another person who informed him that the G-2 had a roadblock on the highway at Colon, Matanzas, and that all cars were being searched. On 24 July 1961, Subject went to a beach called "GANUZA" located on the north coast of Las Villas near Corralillo. Subject's sister has a home at "Ganuza" so he left his car there and proceeded to Havana with some friends of his sister. Later the G-2 confiscated his auto. (It is interesting to note that the G-2, after confiscating subject's auto at the beach, believed that Subject had departed from Cuba. Subject thereafter communicated with his wife by sending her letters in jail via Miami where they were postmarked).

4. On 25 July 1961 Subject went to the house of an MRR leador, FNU JIMENEZ in Havana. When Subject approached JIMENEZ house he noticed a "blind move as if someone was watching" so he did not go in. He walked two blocks to a bus stop. From the bus stop he could observe the house and he noticed that a car departed at a "high rate of speed". Later that day Subject made contact with ORTEGA at the house of Mario IRIVE in Fontanar, Havana IRIVE still lives in Havana) ORTEGA told Subject of the MRR plans for the following day (26 July). ORTEGA said that the movement was "going ahead with their plans" even though they were aware of JIMENEZ arrest. Subject resided for approximately one week at the home of Jose MELGAREJO In Voradero. MELGAREJO continues to work for the GOC at this time. He is the Deputy Chief of "Asphalt Consolidated for the entire country. (In Aprit 1962 Subject's wife escaped from the Womens' Prison at Guanajay, Pinar del Rio, She also was safehoused at MALGAREJOS house). Subject claims that MALGAREJO is a "good man" who also has a home located at Avenida de los OCUJES #221 in Santa Catalina (outskirts of Havana). MALGAREJO's wife and sons reside with him. Subject spent approximatoly one month in the above house (Aug.-Sept. 61).

5. From October 1961 Subject resided with Ester CRUZ a person he had known for 10 years. While living with CRUZ The changed his appearance - lost much weight, dyed and curled his hair, obtained contact lenses. (C/O Comment: Ester CRUZ was arrested approximately 9 May 1962 during the "roll up" of the MRR. She is in jail at this time). In November 1961, Subject met Jose Luis ARANGO from Camaguey ARANGO was at that time military coordinator for the MRR and used the name "Angelito". He also met FNU FREYESID Aka LUCAS, who was the MRR Coordinator of Las Villas introduced Subject to ARANGO REYES A's from Yaguajay, Las Villas. Subject met REYES through Oscar MADRUGA Aka "Anibel" whom he had known since 1959. ARANGO encouraged Subject to begin working for the MRR again. An ID card in alias from a medical laboratory was obtained for Subject He then obtained a briefcase and began selling medical supplies. MADRUGA cousin Jose FERNANDEZ owned the laboratory FROMBERG LABORATORY FERNANDEZ worked for AMBRONC/5. After AMBRONC75 was captured two actual MRR member's met FERNANDEZ and requested that he continue to work. FERNANDEZ did not know the men and denied that he worked for the movement).

6. In late November, 1961. Subject moved into a "guest house" where several other MRR members resided. House is called House of Maria de la *GALLEGA and is located on "J" Street between 21st and 23rd Streets, 10 Vedado Subject met "Fernando", the Security Chief of the MRR at the guest house. Fernando continues to work in the underground. Oscar MADRUGA there. He met Roberto SANCHEZ who also continues to work in the underground. MADRUGA had gone to the hills of Las Villas but returned to Havana. Another MRR man residing there was Roberto FERNANDEZ. Arturo MUGARRA and AMSALON/1 visited the house on occasion. Subject Was once picked up at the house by AMSALON/1. During this period FNU REYES, Ake. Lucas, was arrested and Subject began to work with MUGARRA In December 1961 ARANGO took asylum. There was much conflict in the MRR during this period between AMHOOK/1 and AMBRONC/5.. (Subject has many letters pertaining to this conflict but they were left in Mexico. AMBIDDY/1 is having someone pick up the letters. Case Officer will attempt to obtain these letters and review them. Subject claims he did not hand carry them to the U.S., as he thought our officials would seize them).

7. In January 1962, Arturo MUGARRA and Roberto SANCHEZ were preparing to depart from Cuba. When AMJAVA/4 and AMBRONC/5 arrived In Havana they changed their minds (C/O Comment: A woman named Emilia del MAS was living with MUGARRA This girl later came to the USA via the Brazilian Embassy) MUGARRA group consisted of Roberto SANCHEZ, Ange CANETE, Eddy GALENO who is bad, likes money, women, etc"., and subject GALENO called Subject here in Miami on 28 August and wants to talk with him).

8. MUGARRA informed AMBRONC/5 that he had doubts about Juan BUSTAMENTE, Aka "Roly", as he had asked too many questions re what AMBRONC/5 had brought to Cuba. AMBRONC/5 decided to call a "false meeting" of the chiefs of the movement to test BUSTAMENTE but "someone objected to this". In February 1962, a meeting of the leaders of the MRR took place and AMBRONC/5 reorganized the movement. Subject met ANBRONC/5 only twice once in February 1962 at the house of Angel CANETE and another time in March, 1962 when the assassination of Juan MARINELLO failed. The Operation failed as the automobile to be used in the assassination attempt was stolen on the day of the proposed Operation. The driver of the car was to be Orlando CRUZ, brother of Ester CRUZ. The MRR suspected Orlando CRUZ after this incident as he is a person who "likes money" and the theft was"quite a coincidence". (Orlando CRUZ is presently in Miami. He called Subject on 28 August and wants to see him). AMBRONC/5 informed the group in March to suspend all operations until he returned from a trip he was taking to the USA with MUGARRA and Jose RODRIGUEZ Pecheca AMBRONC/5 placed Angel CANATE in charge of the radio sets. CANATE WAS selected to be the only person in direct contact with the RADOP in place of Juan BUSTAMENTE, Aka "Roly" MUCARRA gave subject two radio sets; one was placed in the apartment of a sister-in-law of subject located at 23rd and I Sts., Vedado, Apt. #11 The other set was located at Street between 3rd and 5th Sts., Vedado, the home of Carlos CADENAS The only persons who knew the locations of the sets were the Radop, Juan FALCON the MRR Chief and Angel CANATE. During AMBRONC/5's trip to the USA in April, 1962, Juan BUSTAMENTE, Aka "Roly" discovered where the radios were hidden. Subject had contact with FALCON and CANATE during April.

9. On 2 May 1962 AMBRONC/5 and MUGARRA returned from the USA. Enrique CEPERO and MUGARRA common-law-wife waited for them in the Blue Studebaker Lark. AMBRONC/5 and MUGARRA were late in arriving, however, and the group had departed from the area.

10. Subject later discovered that the G-2, had captured a "large radio" in the apartment of a radio technician named TROVADIUS. TROVADIUS, when captured, fired at the G-2 and was himself wounded in the shoulder. Later TROVADIUS reported that he had seen Juan FALCON in prison and that FALCON had said "people in the G-2 had told me that no one would be wounded or killed".

11. The Radop informed subject on Wednesday (9 May 1962) to take the radio set out of the house. Rumors were already circulating that the Radop and FALCON were captured. Owners of the house where the radio was cached had moved to Santa Clara for Mothers' Day. As Subject was in contact with Congo PECHECO during this time he did not attempt to pick-up the radio until Thursday (10 May) at 0700 hrs. Subject entered the apartment building (12 stories high) by the rear. Upon arrival he discovered that the glass doors on the terrace were opened (apartment was located on the eleventh floor). These windows are seldom opened.

Subject tentered the building with his briefcase containing a pistol. He noticed two men "loitering in the lobby". He took the elevator to the 9th floor, departed, and walked to the eleventh floor. Subject was wearing soft shoes He walked quietly to the apartment and heard a voice say don't talk so loud as no one will come in:. Subject then proceeded to the next apartment occupied by a friend of the movement. The friend said she had heard noises since the preceding night in the apartment. Subject then took the stairs to the 9th floor and entered the elevator. He got off on the ground floor and proceded to the house on Carlos Tercero Ave. where the other radio was cached (Owner's name is CABANES) Upon arrival at the house he discovered that the woman who owned the house was outside in her housecoat talking to a stranger. Subject then departed from the area, called a friend of CABANES who went to the house. The friend was arrested, held a week and released Subject then tried to pass this information to Arturo MUGARRA but MUGARRA had disappeared. He later discovered that MUGARRA knew that the radios were discovered and that TROVADIUS had been shot

12. On 9 May Juan FALCON, the radio operator (ABUMP/1) Pepe GUTIERREZ, Ak Peluza, Estar CRUZ and Jose SEOANE were arrested. When subject heard of these developments he hid in the Guanabo area. During this period 9th to 28th of May, he saw MUGARRA approximately eight times. He later heard that the G-2 had taken over a house in Guanabo; located 3 blocks from where he was hiding. Subject heard that the G-2 had taken a "blond thin man there" (Possibly AMBRONC/5). G-2 remained at the house for four days.

13. Subject then departed from Guanabo for a few days. When he returned in June 1962 he met Sylvia LNU; the person who resided at the house where the "blond thin man named CARLOS was taken. Sylvia and subject met in the water in front of their houses. Sylvia is the wife of a BATISTA Naval Captain who lies in Miami. She has two "little girls". Sylvia said that "CARLOS" used to live at her house and after being captured he was returned there with the G-2. The G-2 was searching for a "plastic case and envelopes" (pads and crystals). Sylvia told subject that she had seen the envelope and that when Enrique CEPERO's family informed her that he was captured she hid everything in the house that could incriminate "Carlos" under the dog house in the back yard". "Carlos" talked as if he had been drugged when he returned to the house with the G-2. They searched the entire house bringing "Carlos" back and forth several times for four days. Sylvia was forced to open the door whenever anyone arrived and the caller vas arrested. Sylvia was interrogated and the house was under surveillance for approximately a month. A friend of Sylvia's from outside Cuba visited her during this period and was arrested and held for a week Sylvia said the items she buried looked like "pads and maps wrapped in plastic". Although she claimed the material was turned over to the MRR subject has doubts that this was done.

Debriefing of Santiago SANCHEZ de la Torre
SUBJECT: Angel BENCOMO (BENCOMO reportedly was responsible for the MRR roll-up per SANCHEZ See MEXI-5507)

1. Angel BENCOMO is approximately 19 years old, has brown skin, short, stocky, approximately 150 lbs. BENCOMO was formerly a miliciaman in Camaguey and a friend of Arturo MUGARRA BENCŌMO entered the MRR via Eddy GALENO auring March 1962 when he was employed by the Abras Publicas In Camaguey, BENCOMO had trouble with his superiors; quit the militia, etc) GELENO brought BENCOMO to Havana where BENCOMO began working in resistance with Jose RODRIGUEZ Pecheco and Santiago SANCHEZ (BEXCOMO did not meet Arturo MUGARRA in Havana) SANCHEZ "tested BENCOMO" and he appeared to bo OK 1.0., disciplined, quiet, etc. SANCHEZ then began using BENCOMO to pick-up radios, minor cameras, etc. This activity took place between March and May 1962.

2. Arturo MUGARRA was arrested in May 1962 in a cafeteria in Havana where he went to dispose of an automobile. GALENO was to meet MUGARRA at the cafeteria. (MUGARRA and his brother arrived at the cafeteria, turned the car (Cadillac) over to the prospective buyer and sat down. A mechanic drove the car to test it and returned with two G-2 cars. Although GALENO was present and was questioned he was not arrested.

3. From May to September 1962, SANCHEZ saw BENCOMO often. In September SANCHEZ went into an Embassy, but "heard that BENCOMO was arrested and held until November". In January 1963 SANCHEZ heard from BENCOMO via SANCHEZ' sister. BENCOMO wrote a letter (which SANCHEZ still has) saying that he was working for the MRR in the streets. BENCOMO said he did not want to seek asylum but was considering going to the house of Luis PERALES in Oriente (PERALES formerly was operating in the hills of Yayunjay but went to Havana to hide out in Jan.-Feb. 1962). In February 1963, SANCHEZ received another letter from his sister saying that BENCONO was a G-2 man. BENCOMO identified himself as a G-2 man to PERALES in December 1962 Hand asked PERALES to cooperate with him PERALES told SANCHEZ sister of BENCOMOs proposition in January 1963. Since that time PERALES has disappeared.
