MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

SUBJECT: Irving AMRON

1. Subject responded to the AEEXPLORE ad for a position as a Russian language linguist. As was requested of him, he provided the Forms 444, 89, autobiography, and photograph.

2. The undersigned established contact with Subject by phone on 2 September and arrangements were made to interview him on the following day. He was interviewed in the Undersigned's Philadelphia hotel room on 3 September 1964. The undersigned used the Paul Peters alias and DOD cover.

3. The following was obtained from AMRON during the interview:

a. Subject, of Jewish descent, was born in 1917 in the USA. Subject's father, whose original name had been
Philip AMRONIM
came to the USA in 1905/06 at the age of approximately 15. Philip AMRONIM's parents stemmed from the GOMEL area. At the time of his emigration to the USA, he was accompanied by his mother (his father died sometime prior thereto), and by the following brothers and sisters: Lewis, Willy, Abe (who has since died), Moris, Minnie (now married to LAIKEN), Pearl, and Max. All of Subject's father's brothers except for Max, are butchers by occupation, including Subject's father. Max graduated from CCHY and became a structural engineer; he has an office on 43rd Street and his firm is called the Amron Associates.

b. Subject's mother, also of Jewish descent, came to the USA in 1911 (or 1913). Her older sister, Fannie, is married to (fnu) COHEN who is presently retired and living in Florida. Her sister, Ruth, married Max AMRON. Her brother, Hyman HORLIK, who arrived in the USA only in 1962, owns a liquor store in Bayonne, New Jersey. Subject's mother has another sister (fnu) who is presently living in Florida. Subject's mother has one brother who is still living in the USSR.

SECRET

c. At the time of Subject's birth, Subject's father was employed in the Brooklyn shipyards. However, he changed jobs frequently and was subsequently employed on a farm near New Brunswick, then in a shoe factory as a cutter, then as a butcher, and finally became active in a Jewish cooperative organization. As Subject's father became convinced that the future of the Jews was in Russia under Soviet Communism, in 1931 Subject's family left the USA for the USSR for Birobidzhan where Subject's father worked as an agronomist (he had sometime prior thereto graduated from the National Farm School in Bucks County, Pennsylvania).

d. According to Subject, his family returned to the USA in 1933; the motivating reason therefor was the ill health-- actually only some headaches--of Subject's brother, Eugene. Subject alleges that, because they had retained their US citizenship, they experienced no problems either in leaving the USSR or in obtaining permission to return to the USA. Moreover, Subject's father allegedly did not like life in the USSR; however, Subject's mother and sister insisted that they return to the USSR after only a brief stay in the USA.

e. As a result, later in 1933 the entire AMRON family once again returned to the USSR. Again, Subject states that they had no problems in obtaining authorization from the Soviet government for this trip to the USSR. Upon their return to the USSR, they established themselves in Moscow where one Noah LONDON, a friend of the family and a construction engineer, took Subject's father "into his employ". Subject's father worked in this capacity, in the construction industry, from 1933 to 1936. Sometime after the 1936 purges began, Subject's father worked for Komsomolsk, a Moscow "panel board construction" outfit. In 1936 Subject's father also worked for the Paris Commune as a shoemaker. Subject's mother worked during this entire period as chief of a dining establishment in the school of foreign languages in Moscow.

f. Subject began his elementary education at the DeWitt Clinton School in the USA where he studied until 1931; he then studied in the Soviet secondary school in Khabarovsk, Birobidzhan, until 1933. In 1933 he again returned for one semester to the DeWitt Clinton School. Later in 1933 and 1934 he attended the Anglo-American School in Moscow where he completed his 8th grade of school. He then continued his studies from 1933 to 1936 in Public School #327 in the 24th Bauman Rayon. In 1936 he entered the Moscow Avtodorozhniy Institut where he studied on the civil engineering faculty, to be a highway engineer. He graduated in 1941 at which time he was sent to assist

SECRET

in the construction of an airdrome in Minsk, latfer to the Polish station of Janow.

g. In 1937 Subject's mother was dismissed from her position and both she and Subject's father began to feel the pressure of the purges. Subject's father, allegedly by appealing to the then President KALIMIN, succeeded in again acquiring exit visas for them to the USA. Subject, who admits that he had become a "good Communist" by then had gotton thoroughly steeped" in the Communist philosophy, elected to remain behind in the USSR. An important consideration, he states, was his desire to complete his education which he was certain he would not be able to do in the USA for economic reasons.

h. According to Subject, his father never lost his American citizenship. Subject's mother, however, in 1936 applied for and obtained Soviet citizenship. , , ne actually acquired Soviet citizenship "by default" although he never applied
for this in person; he alleges that although he was 18 years of age at the time, he was "granted" Soviet citizenship by virtue of his mother's application for her own citizenship.

i. Subject remained in Moscow prior to World War II. In April 1940 he married

Nina MOISEYIVA

a bookkeeper by profession,

who was the step-daughter of the well-known Major SHOGOLEV of the "Soviet Proleteriat Regiment". A son was born to them in June 1941. Although at this time Subject was assigned to the construction of aerodromes to support front line troops, he succeeded in pulling strings and in arranging a DY triy" to Moscow, ostensibly to visit the Geodetic Institute. Earcute back from Moscow to the front lines, Subject's train got bombed in Brest Litovsk on 22 June 1941 and as a result he was returned to Moscow on the same train via Baranovichi. According to Subject, he was then assigned to the Moscow Military District, to the Otdel Aerodromnoi Sluzhby, where he was placed in charge of a brigade of engineers, technicians and laborers who were engaged in building dumy air sites for camouflage purposes.

j. In August 1941 Subject states that he was permitted to return to school in order to receive his diploma which was granted him in October 1941. He was then assigned to the 22nd Voyenno-Dorozhaiy Otryad which was formed in Dmitrov but which was then assigned to Suzdal'. Subject states that he was not inducted into the Soviet military service allegedly because "engineers were needed" and

SECRET

because, as a member of the MD, this was considered as equivalent to military service. Nonetheless, in response to my query, Subject admitted that this was unusual as his activities were a kind which were performed by old women particularly since during this period, from October 1941 to September 1942, all able-bodied Soviet males were drafted into the Soviet army. During this period Subject lived in comparative ease, being assigned to Suzdal and Klin, and other towns. According to Subject, be wore an MD uniform but wore no insignia. He admitted that "favored treatment" was bestowed upon him and his family when the MD assisted him in evacuating his first wife and son from Moscow in August 1941 to beyond the Urals. (His son by his first wife reportedly died on 11 October 1943 of diabetes.)

k. In September 1942, Subject received an appointment to the Moscow 2nd Military Infantry Institute from which he graduated in June which be the grate of Soviet Infantry. In response to my query, Subject again admitted that this appointment was highly unusual as his background did not lend itself to this, as appointments were made out of the various military branches, and as this implied that, as a foreigner (American), he was fully and completely trusted by the Soviet punitive organs who had cleared him both for this training and the institute and for promotion to officer status in the Soviet Army.

l. Initially he was sent to Alatev on the Volga, then to Orel where ise was assigned to the front lines in August 1943. He was given a platoon of infantry troops in the 415th Infantry Division of the Soviet Central Front. However, in October 1943 he was wounded; he was hit in the left forehead by a German bullet. He was operated on in a field hospital and then transferred to a Moscow hospital after he had recovered sufficiently. He was reclassified after his recovery and found suitable to continue in military service with the limitation that he should not serve on the front lines (goden vtoroi stepeni).

n. Because the wound failed to heal completely (he has a very obvious scar, with approximately a 1" depression, on his forehead), he "asked" to be assigned to a warmer climate. The Soviet authorities, he states, complied and in January 1944 dispatched him to Tbilisi where he was placed in a special officer's camp; he was hospitalized again, tad osteomyelitis complications, and ultimately discharged from the Soviet military forces. Eowever, Subject provided several contradictory stories as to the date of discharge which at various times be indicated occurred in May 1944, then in July 1944, and even in August 1944. (NOTE: This aspect of Subject's story bothered him as it was obvious to the undersigned that Subject had somewhere become confused in this aspect of his background.)

SECRET

n. Upon his discharge, he was returned to the Moscow area where he was placed in a rest hoc (although Subject admitted that there really existed no need for this as he had recovered already prior to his discharge). In continuing his narration, Subject indicated that the rest of his story "sounds very strange and unbelievable" but then averred that it was true. He states that, strange as it appears and despite the shortage of Soviet men at the time (1944) he could not "find" himself a job. He went to the MVD which did offer him a job in Veliki Laki on the highways with the SoyuzDorog-Proyekt; however, he was not given the job by the officials responsible for this. As a result, he appealed directly to the Minister of the MVD who "tried to intercede in Subject's behalf. Allegedly after he was given a full physical examination, be vas told that he could not be assigned to the highway units for reasons which were not speise out to smject.

o. Subject then "sought out" work with the Nauchniy Sovet with no luck. He ultimately chtained a job with the Moscow Sovet in the Moscow Soviet Senior Library (sic). in November 1944, at a salary of 900 rubles, Subject began working in the field of "information on municipal works-highway construction, architecture, sanitation, etc." His immediate supervisor vas (fnu) LIFEEDEV, the head of information department of the Pydro-Energy Project. Subject admitted, in reply to the undersigned's query, that his work vas "unusuai" for several reasons. First, he was paid a salary which was unusually high and out of line with his qualifications. Secondly, though paid a salary for a full-time job and position, he actuzily worked o a part-time basis and was able to come and go almost as he vished. His work also included working on abstracts and translations from English to Russian, primarily in the field of dams, dam construction, and hydraulics.

p. In June 1949 Subject states that be vas dismissed from the foregoing position after he was given the explanation that the flow of literature from the USA, which Subject was translating, had decreased. In actual fact, Subject states, he was being "purged" because he vas a Jev. Ee then found a job as a laboratory assistant in a concrete plant where he worked from July 1949 to 23 February 1950. Because he did not like that job, Subject states he wrote to Stalin personally as a result of which, within less than 4 weeks, he was offered 4-5 different jobs. The positions vere offered to him by the Moscow Committee of the CP to whom "Stalin had forvarded the letter". In reply to my query, Subject admitted that he was not concerned that, by writing to Stalin, be would come to the attention of the Soviet punitive organs, MVD/MCB, which would undertake to investigate his case. Accordingly, on 1 April 1950 Subject was given a job as an

SECTET

engineer with the Bezman District Road Department where he worked until February 1955.

q. After he lost his job in 1949 with the Moscow Sovet, he states that his relations with his wife went from bad to worse and ultimately cultinated first in a separation and latter in a divorce in 1950. In the meantime, he was already living with

Eugenia VOLSOVA

an employee and a teacher of forensic medicine of the Moscow Medical Institute where she was studying for her PhD and where she was a pathologist med her either in 1950 or 1951. However, within less than one month of their carriage, Subject divorced her as he found out that she vas a "bad person" and because he "had fallen blindly in love" with her. (NOTE: This aspect of Subject's story disturbed tim very much. He was wasure of tinsel, wes vegue on dates, details, specifics, names, etc. It was again obvious that Subject was less than frank and open about this aspect of his background. As narratica did not sound convincing to Subject himself when he began talking about "falling blindly in Love", etc.) In 1952 he began living with another woman,

Rose MINKINA,

whom he married only in late 1954 when their son was already well on the way. MINKINA's parents and family were very strongly opposed to the marriage because the parents held responsible party positions and because MINKIKA's brother held a sensitive position with the Soviet electronics and aviation industries. A son vas born to Subject and MINKINA on 5 April 1955.

r. In ca 1954 (dates vague) Subject entered the Institute of Marxism-Leninism and continued his studies for three or more years. Though he registered for the evening sessions, he devoted a good portion of his days to study. As a result, Subject again admitted to the undersigned that he actually was in a unique position of being able to do almost as he "wished and desired" although ostensibly be was a full-time employee of the Bauman District Road Department. While a student at the Institute of Marxist-Leninism, Subject and his wife began submitting applications for a visa to visit Subject's parents in the USA. In actual fact, Subject states, his real purpose in applying for the visa vas to "defect" upon his arrival in the USA. In February 1955 Subject states that be was fired" from his job with the Bauman District because of "political unreliability". Eovever, Subject admitted to the undersigned that the real reason for dismissal

SOMET

must have been otherwise as, had he actually been dismissed for "political unreliability", he would not have been able to continue his studies at the Institute of Marxism-Leninism.

s. Because Subject had communicated to his father, using "hidden phrases" in their letters to each other, about his wish to leave the USSR, Subject's father arrived in the USSR in 1957 in order, Subject states, "to establish at first hand for himself" whether Subject really wished to "defect to the USA". Subject's father remained in the USSR for a total of 10 days. As a result of his father's visit, Subject changed his tactics and began to submit applications for "imigration" to the USA. As earlier, these were "submitted clandestinely"; Subject states that he continued resubmitting then several times each year.

t. After be left the Bauman District place of employment in February 1955, Subject found work as a "free lance translator for the Moscow Torgovaya Palata. He earned ca 1100 rubles per month translating English language material related to the iron and steel plant which was being designed by the USSR for erection in India. In January 1956 Subject found work as chief of the translations bureau of the Nauchno-Issledov.elriv Institut Ministerstva Mashino Stroyeniya; his functions consisted primarily of supervising the translation of English language manuals on technical equipment. Again, Subject admitted that his work was "unusual" as, in actual fact, he spent 1-2 days at work, spent the rest of his time at home, and devoted most of his time and energy to the studies at the Institute of Marxism-Leninism. His salary continued at 1100 rubles per month.

u. In August 1958 his work came to an end. Generally he provided a contardictory account in this respect. Initially he stated that the position had been eliminated but then changed this story to state that he resigned in August 1956 as he vould have had to begla devoting his full tize to the work. In any case, his resignation generally coincided with his completion of studies at the Institute of Marxism-Leninism. Thereafter, and until his inmigration to the USA in 1962, Sabject held no full tire job. Nonetheless, he states that he succeeded in earning no less than about 1100 rubles per month by working as a free lance translator for the Torgovaya Palata of Moscow. Ee turned over to the undersigned a sample of his translation efforts-see the attached book. In response to. my query, Subject admitted that his work again vas of such a nature that he was a free agent, came and went as he pleased, and generally vas responsible to no one. Apparently in order to

SECTET

forestall any further discussions in this regard, Sub ject then stated that "if you are thinking that I cold have worked for the KGB et this time, then you are right because I had the time to do anything including engaging in intelligence activities'. Eowever, Subject then proceeded to deny that he had then or at any time, tad any relationship with the KGB (or its predecessor organizations).

v. In July 1962 Subject's mother and father came to Moscow, this specifically for the purpose of getting Subject to return to the USA. They stayed in Moscow for a time while father letters to KEPISEY, to Nina PERUSECEVA, to ADZUBEI, to the Supreme Soviet, to the and to other Soviet establish- ments in order to get Subject and his son permission for emteration to the USA. (Subject's wife, MININA, had died in 1961.) In August 1962, while vacationing in Sochi Subject ves sought out by the local Inturist office and apprised by the local militia office that, "in view of your father's strong appeals", the USSR had granted Subject and his son permission to leave the WEER. Upon his return to Moscow, Subject proceeded to the American Embassy where he vas advised that he had not been granted an exit visa by the Soviets. As a result, Subject applied for izigretion to the USA twice, once in the capacity of a Soviet citizen using his Soviet passport, and the second time in the capacity of an "American citizca".

W. In September 1962 the application to travel to the USA as an "izmigrant" was approved for him and his son. Therefore, without waiting to receive approval to travel inder his claim of being an "American citizen", Subject left the SSR and entered the USA on his Soviet passport together with his son on 24 September 1962 via Idlewild. Upon his arrival in the USA, Subject imediately undertook action to have his "American citizenship" restored. This was initially denied as he had admitted that he had voted in the Soviet national elections. However, be then retained an attorney who appealed the case; the original decision was then reversed and both Subject and his son had their IS citizenship restored to them in the sumer of 1963, the reversal was based on Subject's clain that be had had no choice and vas, therefore, compelled to vote in the USSR national elections.

x. Upon his arrival in the SA, Subject immediately applied for a position with the In, however, he was rejected as he was "state- less" at the time. He then accepted a position with Stelling, Lori- Wood, and "sin Suetendale, 26th Street, working on site-planning. His superviser, one Frank McGowan, then recommended Subject to the

SECRET

Blauvelt engineering firm for whom he worked from January 1963 through July 1964. In 1964 Subject fond work with Harold J. SELDIN, 60 Broad Street, Red Bank, Sew Jersey, as an engineer working on the planning and designing of sub-divisions, grading, construction developments, etc. His immediate superviser is the township er vineer of Marlboro Township, New Jersey. Els present salary is $100.00 per month.

y. In April 1963 Subject married
Bella MINCBERG nee MILSTEIN

a Polish Jew who had come to the LEA from Poland in 1949. She has come her age(s) Subject and his son nov live in the home of his present wife.

4. Comments and Assessment:

a. Subject speaks native English and passes for a middle class American. Eis Russian is likewise native.

b. According to Subject, his objective in life Low is to work for the US Government. Ee states that he has submitted Forms 57 to a number of the US Government agencies (he did not elaborate). In applying for the position under AIR, Subject asked for $10,000.00 per annum which is his asking price for a position with the US Goverment.

c. According to Subject, his present position is excellent with great potential for going into partnership as soon as he becomes a licensed engineer. However, he states that he is not interested in making money (despite his request for a $10,000.00 salary) but in "fighting Communism" as an employee of the US Covernment.

d. Subject admitted that he was a firm and strong believer of Communism which, incidentaliy, was the reason why he remained behind in the USSR when his parents returned to the IEA in 1937. Ee states that he continued to be a firm believer of Commism until approxinstely 1958/59 when he became "disenchanted with Communism". Subject denies that he was a menber of the Komsomol or that he had to join the Communist Party, this despite the fact that he became an officer of the Soviet Army and despite the fact that he was accepted to study at the Institute of Marxism-Leninist. Despite his alleged "disenchant- ment" with Communism, Subject spoke in flattering terms about life in the USSR, about the "democracy", about equal opportunities, about the excellent "educational system, et cetera. Subject aimitted that

SEORET

he had led almost a "charming existence" in the 1EER and that neither life in the USSR nor the Soviet authorities ristreated him.

e. According to Subject, be vas never arrested in the Soviet Union.

f. In reply to my query, Subject indicated that in 1958 the KGB tried to co-opt bin into reportinga fellow student at the Institute of Marxism-Leninism. Sovever, Subject states that he rejectd the pitch. In reply to various queries which vere posed to him about the fellow-student (name allegedly nov forgotton), Subject states that he dič render an unfavorable report on the person. Despite this, the particular Soviet was nitizerely assigned ebroed es an interpreter. Subject later heard that the Soviet worked and traveied both Japan ani Itary.

g. In reply to a general query about life in the USSR, Subject indicated that life in the USER has made him into "an accomplished pre-varicator".

h. Subject was less than fluent in relating the story of his life to the undersigned. ñe made mistakes frepeatly, be contra- dicted himself, be altered dates to accomodate other aspects of his activities to correspond with shat he had mentioned earlier, etc. Also, Subject repeatedly tried to digress from relating his story into presenting his views of life; it was a chore to keep hơn on substantive matters relating to his om backgrund.

i. Subject's brother, Eugene, is now exployed as an engineer of the Freehell Township, New Jersey. Additionally, he has a private office in Rockland, New Jersey, called the Civil Engineer Associates.

j. Subject's account of how he acquired Soviet citizenship-- see above- is a very veal item in Subject's scry. He will have us believe that be got Soviet citizenship by default" as a result of his mother's application for Scriett citizenship for herself. He himself admitted to the undersigned that this is illogical as his brother, Eugene, whose status vas no different from Subject's, never acquired Soviet citizenship by default" though Subject did allegedly without any action whatever on his own part. Moreover, Sabject adnitted that he was legally of age (15) by this time and no longer a dependent as a result of which he would have had to apply for a Soviet passport and for Soviet citizenship of his own free volition rather than through his mother.

SEONET

k. Sject is aware that the story of his "imigration" to the USA is also weak. Ee tried to explain this away by stating that be "got cut by mistake", that he was permitted to go to hide the Soviet shame surrounding the Cuban crisis", that "someone had committed an error", etc. Ee admitted that there exists no other explanatica as to why the Soviet goverment vould have permitted him to leave the USSR as, in the eyes of the Soviet goverment, be ves a full fledged and responsible Soviet citizer who had no genuine or legitimate clain to American citizenship. As a result, Subject is usually sensitive to this topic.

5. CONCLUSION:

a. In the opinion of the undersigned, Subject should not be considered for either ARSCREEN or AΞEXPLORE despite the fact both his English and Russian are native.

b. On the basis of the interview, the undersigned feels that, Subject is less than frank and that be is prevaricating. Moreover, there exist imwerable items in Subject's tale which are indicative both that he worked as a recruited agent of the KGB (and its predecessor organizations, in the 11 and that he left the USSR caly through and with the intercession of the KGB.

6. It should be underscord that because of the unique and sensitive cover used by the undersigned, to attempt was made to resolve the various contradictions, to challenge Subject on any of his statements, or to pursue certain points of their logical conclusion. The foregoing vas obtained in the form of an interview and no real attempt could be made, given the cover, to delve nore deeply into the suspicious aspects of Subject's background.

MEMORANDUM OF CONTACT

SUBJECT : Jose Antonio CASAS Rodriguez) (201327702)

DATE OF CONTACT : 2 May 1963 (2000 to 2345 Hours);
4 May 1963 (0900 to 1300 Hours).

1. On 1 May 1963 I travelled to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania,
and attempted to contact Subject at his home at 216 Cumberland Street at 1930 hours. Subject's son answered the door and advised that his
father was out for the evening and wasn't expected to return till 2200
hours. At 2200 hours I returned to Subject's home to be advised that:
he had not yet returned but was expected momentarily. In view of the
late hour, I requested the son tell his father that a representative of
the United States Government had called and wished to speak to him on
matters pataining to the situation in Cuba. I Indicated I would return
about 2000 hours on 2 May.

2. At 2000 hours on 2 May I called at Subject's home and found
him present. He was friendly and courteous, requesting that I come
into the home where I was introduced to his wife and several of his six
Children. He requested to see my KUBARK identification which he gave
only a cursory glance before returning to me. He then indicated his
complete willingness to supply any information known to him on the Cuban
situation and personalities,

3. Subject and his wife make an excellent impression. They
proceeded to put ma at ease, offered coffee, and generally showed them-
selves to be excellent extroverted hosts. The subsequent conversation
lasted until approximately 2345 hours and was somewhat general in nature,
Basically we rebashed information already provided by Subject during
his debriefing by U. S. authorities in Miami and already reflected in his
201 file. Subject was rather difficult to debrief in that his English is
somewhat fractured and he is extremely disorganized in his thoughts,
Ha bas à tendency to develop one theme which in turn will remind him

:
of a second, also of interest, which he will proceed to discuss to the
confusion of the first. This problem was perhaps compounded by the
fact that Subject was uncertain as to the type of information of interest
to KUBARK. He grasped quickly, however, he type of information
which would be of most interest to us and it rapidly became less difficult
to get to the meat of the subject we were discussing. Further contact
and debriefing of him will become progressively less difficult.

4. We are consolidating the information obtained from Subject
from our two meetings with him on 2 and 4 May below for reporting
convenience.

5. Basically Subject is able to supply specific information of
interest on only five personalities. He knows and was acquainted with
many other personalities in the Cuban government, but his relationship
with them is not close enough to enable him to provide information in
sufficient detail or depth to allow valid assessment as to their suscep-
tibility to a recruitment or other operational approach.

6. Information on five Cuban government officials, well known
to Subject is set forth below:

a. Esubio AZCUE, born about 1912, is presently
employed as a consul at the Cuban Embassy in Maxico
City. AZCUE is a long time friend of Subject. They met
during the mid-1950's when both were involved in revolu-
tionary activities attempting to bring about a democratic
socialist regime in Cuba. AZCUE is married to a Spanish
woman and was involved in the Spanish revolution. He
was a very close friend of Manolo CASTRO who was
reportedly murdered by a group of Communist left wing
revolutionaries which included Fidel CASTRO. About,
1962 AZCUE was living in France and is believed to have
been arrested by French authorities on charges resulting
from his involvement in smuggling penicillin and other
antibiotics into France. Subject believes that AZCUE has
about five children. During early 1901 while in Mexico
City, AZCUE was contacted by Subject in order to obtain
advice re the advisability of his defecting from the Castro
regime and requesting political asylum in Mexico. As a

result of this contact Subject obtained the impression that
AZCUE is suffering from a lack of funds. Since AZCUE
is somewhat of a snob and a fancy dresser, he finds this
situation unpleasant. AZCUE also habitually has a mis-
tress which in turn is a drain on his pocketbook.

(1) According to Subject, AZCUE is an
excellent draftsman who studied architecture
at the University of Habana, although he never
obtained a degree. Subject assesses him as a
kind man, very happy-go-lucky, but impetuous
and one who "blows with the wind". He doesn't
seem to have the powers of concentration or of
single purpose which would allow him to be suc-
cessful. Subject feels that AZCUE has appended
himself to the Castro regime since it offers him
a purpose in life and a feeling of belonging to
something.

(2) Subject described AZCUE as being a
very brave man. He felt that should AZCUE be
approached by LUBARK and requested to coop-
erate, the physical danger inherent to in-place
agent work would not affect his decision. In
summary there would be a reasonable chance of
persuading AZCUE to cooperate with KUBARK I
a suitable monetary and ideological inducement
were offered him. Subject feels, on the basis of
their 1961 conversations in Mexico City, that
AZCUE is not too enthused about the Castro regime.
and it is possible he has become even less in
favor of it during the ensuing period.

(3) Subject appended that it would be helpful
in any approach to AZCUE to attempt to convince
hin that Fidel CASTRO was directly involved in
tho "gangster" revolutionary group responsible for
Manolo CASTRO's murder, AZCUE was a very
chowo iriond of Manolo CASTRO's and was affected
greatly by his death.

b. Enrique RODRIGUEZ Loeches: RODRIGUEZ was
born about 1912 and is presently Cuban Ambassador to
Morocco. RODRIGUEZ was involved for a long time in
revolutionary attempts to overthrow the BATISTA and pre-
vious regines in Cuba. He was with CASTRO during the
1958-59 period in the Sterra Maestre. Subject became
acquainted with and a close friend of HODRIGUEZ when
both were members of the same so-called revolutionary
"Directorio". Subject alleges that HODRIGUEZ tas dis-
liked CASTRO since their first meeting during the 1958-59
period. Both Subject and his wife alleged to have received
a letter from RODRIGUEZ written in the Sierra Maestre
in which he listed his dislike of CASTRO and among other
things referred to hinı using the Spanian equivalent of the
term 'dirty prostitute". Subject advised that unfortunately
this letter has been destroyed. Subject is convinced that
if he met RODRIGUEZ on the street tomorrow the latter
would have no compunctions about sitting down for a long
discussion on old times as well as the political situation.
in Cuba. Subject is also convinced that he could on friendly
terms "talk defection or recruitment" with RODRIGUEZ
should they have the opportunity to meet.

c. Orlando BLANCO, born about 1922, is married to
a woman of Puerto Rican birth which makes her an American
Citizen. BLANCO, according to the latest information avail-
able to KUBARK, is stationed with the Cuban Embassy in
Morocco with the rank of counselor. Subject met BLANC
when the latter became subordinate to him in the revolu-
tionary "Directorio" working towards the overthrow of the
Eatinia regime. Despite BLANCO's revolutionary activities,
Subject assesses him as being relatively passive politically.
Both BLANCO and his wife are believed to have applied for
employment with the Cuban foreign service as a means of
leaving Cuba. Subject feels it is possible they will not return
to Cuba when their tour in Morocco expires. During 1960-61
BLANCO was employed in the National Bank of Cuba. During
this period Subject obtained the impression that BLANCO
had become anti-Castro. Subject, however, assesses BLANCO
as a non-courageous type of individml who might be iright-
ened at the idea of working as an in-place agent. As an

example of BLANCO's lack of courage, Subject cited the
fact that he and his wife attempted to avoid Subject's wife
while Subject was an asylee in the Argentine Embassy in
Habana. Incidentally, BLANCO's wife's name is Isabelle
LAGO de Bianco and she is on excellent terms with Subject' wife Sabject is apparently convinced that BLANCO would
welcome an opportunity to meet with him providing he wes
sssured that the fact of the meeting would not become known
to his Cuban superiors.

d. Faure CHOMON :ediavilla (201-270370): In ea-
sonco Subject was only able to reiterate the background
Information on ClioMON outlined in paragraph 5 of UFCW
1674, 13 January 1903. In order to place his relationship
with CHOMON in perspective, Subject produced a personal
letter to him from CHOMON which was written in January
1969 and referred to Subject in the most familiar of terms.
Subject alleged that CHOMON bas confided in him on many
matters of personal and political nature for many years.
As an example, he cited a difficulty in which CHOMON
became involved during his tenure as Ambassador to the
USSR and while Subject was stationed in Moscow. CHOMON
At that time was having an affair with a Russian translator/
socretary assigned to him by the Soviets. This person's
husband became knowledgeable of the relationship between
his wife and CHOMON and beat on the door of the Cuban
Embassy one day and proceeded to demand that CHOMON
leave his wife alone. Subsequently a formal protest was
received through Soviet foreign service channels. As a
result of this incident, CHOMON asked Subject to take a
walk with him (He didn't trust the Soviets and felt the
Cuben Embassy was banged.) in emer to discuss this
problem and the possible solution for it. Although CHOMON
did not specifically state anything in this vein, Subject
obtained the impression during the last two meetings in
the Argentine Embassy in early 1962 that CHOMON was
anything but happy with his lot under the Castro regims.
Subject feit it would be worthwhile and alleged his willing-
ness to prepare a "recruitment letter" for mailing to
CHOMON in Cuba,

e. Floreal CHOMON Mediavilla was born about 1930
in Camaguey, and, according to latest KUBARK informa-
tion, is presently Charge d' Affaires of the Cuban Legation
in Iraq. Prior to this assignment, CHOMON was First
Secretary with the Cuban Erbassy in Morocco. Subject
described CHOMON as a sensitive, slightly effeminate
Individual who is relatively usinterested in politics. Sub-
ject feels that CHONION obtained the position with the
Cuban foreign service by virtue of the fact that he is Faure
CHOMON's brother. Subject feels that Floreal CHOMON
would also welcome an opportunity to talk with him if the
fact of their meeting could be kept from the Cuban govern-
ment. He speculated that any attempt to gain CHOMON'
cooperation would depend on the position Faure CHOMON
bas assumed toward the Castro regime. Subject feels
that most of Floreal CASTRO's decisions are based on the
attitude and opinion of his older brother Faure. If through
letters from or conversations with his okier brother, Floreal
had obtained the impression that Faure was becoming dis-
satisfied with the Castro regime, he probably likewise
would assume such an attitude and conceivably be receptive.
to a recruitment approach.

7. OPERATIONAL PROPOSALS: We are currently retracing
the individuals listed in the preceeding paragraph. Upon completion of
these traces, it is suggested that a dispatch be prepared to Mexico City
Station outlining all information on Esubio AZCUE including that supplied
by Subject. This dispatch would also outline Headquarters' interest in
perhaps wing Subject in an operational approach to AZCUE. Mexico
City Station would be asked to describe the extent to which they could
support auch an operation through surveillance of AZCUE, locating his
present residence and other information relative to is current activities
and political orientation. (Comment:) We discussed in principle with
the Subject whether or not he would be willing to travel to Mexico City
with a KUBARK case officer for the purpose of such an approach. Sub-
ject tentatively indicated his willingness to cooperate in such a venture
but appeared to have some reservation re the danger that might accrue
him. He pointed out that he has a wife and six children to support and
soon expects to be joined by his father and mother-in-law who are cur-
rently in Miami. We attempted to reassure Subject that very little danger

would be involved since he would be under surveillance by AUBARK
officers at all times and would serve only as a means of effecting the
introduction of KUBARK to AZCUE. Although we cannot be certain,
we feel that i. properly presented Subject would cooperate with KUBARK
in such a venture.

8. The information reflected above and relating to RODRIGUEZ,
BLANCO, Floraal CHOMON, and Faure CHOMON, will be made avail-
abhi to SAS/11 in order to determine whether or not they may be interested
in exploiting these leads. An operation involving the preparation of a
letter by Subject for forwarding to Faure CHOMON would be simple to
prepare but difficult to carry out in that we do not have a current home
address for him. Subject indicated that he believed Faure CHOMON in
1961 lived on First Street, $105, Apt. 7, in Habana. However, we can-
not be sure that this address is current. Subject indicated that perhaps
(inu) San Pedro y Grillo Aving at Anunciacion 10, 6th floor, in Madrid,
as of 1981, is probably the first wife or another relative of Faute CHOMON.
She is allegedly the cukural attache with the Cuban Embassy in Madrid.
Perhaps it would be possible to obtain CHOMON's surrent address
through COS Madrid Conceivably COS Madrid could ask its liaison
with the Spanish service to place intercepts on this address and than
obtain Faure CHOMON's current home address in Habana, Assuming
he is corresponding with this individual,

9. MISCELLANEOUS: We were only able to obtain the names
of two individuals from subject who he believed definitely to be G-2
officers. These were the individuals who accompanied Faure CHOMON
when he visited Subject in May of 1961 at the Argentine En.bassy in
Habana. The first of these was Carlos FIGARELLO, aka El Chino,
FIGARELLO was born about 1930 and Subject was able to say little more
about him than this in as much as he spent most of the time during this
meeting talking with Faure CHOMON. OS CHOMON'a second visit to
the Argentine Embassy he was accompanied by (fnu) JIMENEZ, aka
Himenito, also born about 1930 and the son of (inu) Santos JIMENEZ.
JIMENEZ Wes, according to Subject, at one time the director of the
revolutionary newspaper "Combate". Subject was unable to supply
further izformation on this individual.

10. Subject was shown the KUBARK list of Cuban diplomatic
and consular personnel abroad dated April 1963 and was able to identify
a number of Individuals appearing on this list as known to him. These
individuals would be basically Fl leads and Subject indicated be was not

well acquainted enough to describe their personalities or otherwise aid
in an operational approach to them. We are listing them below, how-
ever, in the event some of them may be of specific operational Interest
to SAS/FI components. Any individuals falling into this category can be
the subject of future detailed debriefing on the occasion of my next meet-
ing with Subject.

a. Jorge SERGUERA Pivieri, aka Papito, is currently
the Cuban Ambassador to Algeria. According to Subject,
SERGUERA is a homosexual,

b. Eduardo MACHADO Cartas, born about 1925 in
Lajas, Cuba, is presently employed as the Cubana Airlines
representative in Canada according to latest KUBARK
information. Subject hasn't seen MACHADO for about
twenty years, but used to know him well in that he dated
MACHADO's sister and in this fashion met him and the
family.

c. Jose BARRIAL Dominguez: Subject believes this
name appearing on the KUBARK list to be incorrect.
BARRIAL is listed as Charge d' Affaires, minister coun-
selor it the Cuban Embassy in Chile. Subject knew an
individual of this name who was associated with the same
revolutionary group to which Manolo CASTRO belonged.

d. Manuel PAYAN Viego is originally from Siego de
Avila, Cuba. During BATISTA's regime, PAYAN was
studying in Spain. Subject does not believe PAYAN to be
a Communist. PAYAN's wife is believed to be identical with
Maria Antonio RODRIGUEZ de Payan who le aino listed an
en employee cũ the Cuban Embassy in Chile.

e. Oscar PINO Santos, Cuban Ambassador to China,
is an acquaintance of Subject. Subject was unable to provide
further worthwhile information on PINO.

1. Flora DIAZ Parrado, born about 1910, is currently
employed as a counselor with the Cuban Embassy in France.
Subject believes that DIAZ is apolitical and has been a meam-
ber of the foreign service for a long time. He also believes

caricaturist.

h. Manuel R. MORALES, listed as an attache with
the Cuban Embassy in France, is believed by Subject to
be identical with an individual he met who used the nick-
name Tiburon who was an athlete at Habana University
and from Santiago de Cuba.

1. Gustavo MEDIAVILLA de la Pena is listed as com-
mercial attache with the Cuban Embassy in Germany.
Subject was acquainted with an individual with this name

a young man who he knew from Matanzas Province and
who is now Charge d' Affaires with the Cuban Embassy
in Indonesia.

k. Gustavo ROBRENO Dolz, aka El Mago ROBRENO,
is listed as an attache with the Cuban Embassy in Indonesia.
Subject describes ROBRENO as a very unstabla individual.
Once while drunk, he shot an American in a Cuban bar.
He is married to a former prostitute.

1. Jose R. LINARES Delgado is listed as an attache
with the Cuban Embassy in Iraq. Subject believes he war
at one time acquainted with LINARES who was connected
with the Manoio CASTRO group at the University of Habana.
Subject describes LINARES as a slender individual with a
pisasant personality. He is a mulatto.

m. Gustavo ARCOS y Bargnes is listed as Ambassador
to Belgium and Luxembourg and resident in Brussels. Car
Ject stated ARCOS' brother was killed in Santiago de Cuba
on 26 July 1953 during the attack on the "Moncada".

described PROENZA as a cold-blooded emotionless woman
who is nicknamed "the mummy".

o. Silvino SORHEGUY Matos is listed as the Cuban

knows SORHEGUY to have been once a Cuban foreign ser-
vice representative to Honduras and to have been declared
PNG by that country.

p. Jose Antonio PULIDO y Ledesma is listed as consul
to the Cuban Embassy in Sweden. Subject knows PULIDO
as being a good friend of Enrique RODRIGUEZ Loeche,
Ambassador to Aiorocco.

q. Armando PEREZ Pinto is listed as commercial
counselor with the Cuban Embassy in the USSR. Subject
believes PEREZ is not of Cuban birth, but from Haiti.
Subject could only say that PEREZ was a nice young man,
born about 1935, who did not give the impression of being
a rabid Communist.

r. Juan JUARBE y Juarbo is listed as the counselor
of the Cuban Delegation to the United Nations. Subject knows
JUARBE and thinks he is Puerto Rican or Venezuelan by
birth rather than a Cuban.

8. Laura MENESES de Albizu Campos: According to
Subject, MENESES is not a Cuban but he is not sure of her
ettonality. Although he met MENESES he is unable to
supply further significant dats.

t. Gilberto MEDIAVILLA is listed as a third secretary
of the Cuban Delegation to the United Nations. Subject sus-
pects that MEDIAVILLA is a cruals to the CHOMON brothers.

11. Orlando PEREZ was met by Subject during his tour in Moscow,
PEREZ was the Charge d' Affaires at the Cuban Embassy in Moscow.
Subject became slightly acquainted with PEREZ and obtained the impres-
sion that PEREZ is not pro-Castro. He is married to an American
citizen, Kina PEREZ, nee Grossman PEREZ has since quit the foreign
service and occupies a position with the National Bank of Cuba.

12. We asked Subject whether or not he was acquainted with any
individual belonging to the Cuban military. He could supply no signifi-
cant namer or information in this sphere. He did advise us that a
potential source for this type of information was one Eloy GUTIERREZ
Menoyo. According to Subject, GUTIERREZ was formerly a Cuban
army officer and would have many contacts in this area. As an aside,
Subject stated that GUTIERREZ had supplied weapons to Fidel CASTRO
during the 1958-59 period through an individual who he knew cnly as
(nu) GONZALEZ. GONZALEZ apparently in turn obtained the weapons
from a (fnu) SAGARO who was a resident of Santiago de Cuba. Of even
more interest, Subject stated that GONZALEZ was, during this same
period, in contact with Otto SKORZENY in Madrid and Belgium. Sub-
ject could no longer remember where he had heard this information and
could only add that as he remembered, GONZALEZ had seen SKORZENY.
in Madrid and Brussels, Belgium, during this period. It is felt that this
piece of information may be of more than normal significance in that we
recall having been told several years ago that SKORZENY was of opera-
tional interest to KUBARK. As we remember, SKORZENY was at that
time suspected of or reported to be the key figure in a Communist/KGB.
illegal funding apparatus. We will check with the CI Staff, WE, and EE,
in order to determine whether further information on SKORZENY'S
alleged activities was ever developed.

13. Raul RODRIGUEZ Feo is, according to Subject, a profes-
sional in the Cuban foreign service. Subject does not know for certain
whore RODRIGUEZ is presently stationed but suspects he is in lHabana,
RODRIGUEZ does not appear in the KUBARK list of Cuban diplomats
abroad, RODRIGUEZ is a good friend of Subject and his wife, and Sub-
ject's wife has known Mrs. RODRIGUEZ since both were small girls.
RODRIGUEZ was born about 1912 and studied at the University of Habana,
He and Subject attended the same secondary schools in Sagua La Grande,
Cuba. Subject states thai RODRIGUEZ is definitely not a Communist
and probably would cooperate in any anti-Castro activity KUBARK might
aak of him,

14. Carlos LAC was born about 1923 in Cuba and is a Certified
Publie Accountant, subject is good friends with LAO in that both of them
worked together in attempting to overthrow the Batista regime. LAO
refugeed to the United States from Cuba in October 1962 and now lives
in Willerate, Minnesota. Subject volunteered LAQ's name as an Individ-
ual who knows everybody of any significance in Holguin, Cuba, and the
surrounding area.

15. UFGA 7428, 31 January 1963, contains information obtained
by JMWAVE regarding Subject and indicated him to be emotionally un-
stable, eccentric, and generally reputed to be something of a nut. We
are inclined to agree with this information in so far as Subject's eco-
nomical theory is concerned. During his stay of almost one year as
an asylee in the Argentine Embassy in Habana, Subject spent the copious
spare time available to him writing an economic treatise. On our meet-
ing with Subject on May 4th, Subject provided us with a handwritten
short summary of this docament. According to this summary, Subject
has been attempting to correlate economic cycles with peaks of sunspot
activity. He backs up his "economic argument" with reference to the
Old Testament and the Aztec Calendar. If Subject has been expounding
this theory in public we are not surprised that he is considered some-
what of a nut. It should be noted, however, that many otherwise sane
and useful people believe in horoscopes and other similar superstitions.
We do not feel that this quirk in his personality must necessarily be con-
sidered derogatory in terms of his possible operational exploitation by
KUBARK. Although we have spent less than ten hours with Subject, our
impression is that he is a rational individual in terms of his attitude
towards and relationships with other individuals and personalities around
him. As a matter of fact, we obtained the impression that Subject pos-
sesses more than his fair share of what is sometimes termed "common
sense". The handwritten summary of Subject's economic theory as per-
taining to cunspots is appeted to this memorandum as attachment.

bio data. I recruited Barker in 1959, and he served faithfully until
whad to exfiltrate him sometime in 1960. He recruited a number of
valuable agents for the Station (including AMCLATTER-5, which see) and
had an amazing encyclopedic knowledge of Cuban persons, events and con-
facts in all walks of life. He was a boxing manager and know timately
all Cuban personalities engaged in the sporting industry. He had a puppy-
dog loyalty to his case officers and to the Agency. His biggest weakness
was his lack of discretion. He was such a loyal American (actually if
not technically) that he would fight at the drop of a hat if anyone cast
aspersions on the United States or its leaders. In the atmosphere of
Castro's Cuba I might say that that was quite often. We are in the
process of helping him recover his lost American citizenship. When the
Station reopens I would certainly recommend that we continue to maintain
contact with Barker. If nothing eind he would mace a wonderful leg-man
for the Chief of Station. His wife is an attractive Cuban gal who is bi-
lingual and an belligerently inertica as he is. Barker, by looks and
by language, could pass either as an American or a rumes - a goduin
asset if he could be taught to submerge his americana.

is the ideal type of Latin American agent. It will be a real loss to
the Agency if we lose sight or contact with adolfo. I have met few men
more dedicated and more loyal.

Ramon was in the shipping business in Havana and eventually had to

planning to send him to Nicaragua, and I have recommended him to the
Nicaragua desk (Prental) 03He has all the qualities ascribed to
Adolfo SAN FELAYO (see above) except that he has never been an American
citizen. He speaks excellent English. He is dedicated, courageous and
host anxious to maintain contact with the agency. It will be our loss

6. Herbert L. Barker. AMCLATTER-1. Wife: Clara. Barker is a
Cuban-American. Ex-Cantata in the U.S.A.F. See PKQ and 201 for fuil
bio data. I recruited Barker in 1959, end he served faithfully until
we had to exfiltrate him sometime in 1960. He recruited a number of
valuable agents for the Station (including AMCLATTER-5, which see) and
had an amazing encyclopedic knowledge of Cuban persons, events and con-
tacts in all walks of life. He was a boxing manager and knew intimately
all Cuban personalities engaged in the sporting industry. He had a puppy-
dog loyalty to his case officers and to the Agency. His biggest weakness
was his lack of discretion. He was such a loyal American (actually if
not technically) that he would fight at the drop of a hat if anyone cast
espersions on the United States or its leaders. In the atmosphere of
Castro's Cuba I might say that that was quite often. We are in the
process of helping him recover his lost American citizenship. When the
Station reopens I would certainly recommend that we continue to maintain
contact with Barker. If nothing else he would make a wonderful leg-man
for the Chief of Station. His wife is an attractive Cuban gal who is bi-
lingual and as belligerently "American" as he is. Barker, by looks and
by language, could pass either as an American or a Cuban - a genuine
asset if he could be taught to submerge his americanism.

Manolo VEGA Abril I met Manolo through Jorge ALONSO (See
above re prisoners in Cuba as a result of the 17th of April invasion).
Manolo is working for us now in Miami, and I presume we have full bio
data on him. Manolo's family owned, along with Republic Steel, the big
steel plant to Savannah which was nationalized by the Castro regime (Cir.
Antillana de Acore, S.A.). Manolo has a brother, Nestor VER would
also be worth cultivating. Through his business and family connections
Manolo knew a great many people of operational interest. One of his
friends was David SALVADOR, although Manolo did not share SALVADOR's
political thinking extreme left and anti-US).

from the Dutch Internal Security Service (BVD).29

2. On & November 1958 Hollie BLOCK (bora 6 November 1911 in
New York), holder of American passport No. 116708, left Schiphol
Airport in Amsterdam on a KIM flight bound for Hoscow via Warsaw.
She traveled with her child Johanna Horris BLOCK, born in 1950, whe
was said to be in possession of a Greek passport. Mrs. BLOCK had
originally planned to fly to Hoscow on 2 September, but học trip
wes postponed by the circumstances outlined below.

3. On 30 August 1958 Morris BLOCK, husband of Mollie BLOCK,
arrived at Amsterdan on a KLM flight from Montreal. BLOCK was
carrying American passport No. 921617, issued 12 April 1956 but changed
by him to read 12 April 195" se thet is would appear to be still valid.
Marris BLOCK was refused entry to The Netherlands on the basis of his
falsified passport. The American Consulate in Amsterdam validated
his passport for a single return trip to How York, and he was sent
back to Kar Yark on a KLM plane at 2359 hours on 30 Angust 1958.

Marie BLOCK was born in New York en 30 March 1920s he is
ashinist by cocupation, and his home address was given as 258 Corbán

BLOCK stated to the Dutch passport control officer that he had
visited the USSR 25 July 1957 - 15 October 1957 as a delegate to the
World Youth Festival held in Moscow in 1957. BLOCK stated it was his
plan to travel from The Netherlands to Noscow and to settle himself
and his fardly there. He said his visa for itussia was ready at the
Soviet Zabassy in The Hague and that since he was not permitted to
obtain a new valid passport, he had changed the date of issuance of
his former passport to make it appear to be still valid. Since he had
not known for sure that he would be allowed to depart from the United
States, his wife and child were to take a later plane to Amsterdam
after his wife knew he had reached Canada. He said that he had been
unemployed in the United States and that his wife had had to support
the fardly on her salary of $65 a week.

5. BLOCK stated to the Dutch passport control officer that there
was only one country in the world where freedom was really possible,
and that he wished to go tiere. He no longer wanted to live in
America, for the laws were made there by three or four families and
the rest had to fall in line. He had had more than enough of the
slique around Eisenhower. He stated he no longer valued his American
nationality and asked if they could not adit him so that he could
apply to the Russian Embassy. He said his wife had the money and
Mekete for the trip to Moscow from Amsterdam..

6. BLOCK had with hin a suitcase and a cage with a parrets his
wife vas to take the rest of their belongings with her. Also in his
possessica were

CONTACT REPORT

WUBRINY - General

02

1.  WURINY/1 called on the sterile line from Washington
at 1430 hours to discuss the subject covered below.

2.  Tire Recap: UBRINY/1 said that he had just heard
from the Mohawk people who will be in New York the week of
20 May and has stated that they are now prepared to go ahead
investing some $30,000 of their own money in a tire recap
plant in Greece. UBRINY/1 will give us more details as he
has them and feels that Lodi will also come in with some money
and that WUSALINE can also, if this is desired or needed.

3.  FURRINY/4: WUBRINY/1 said that Luis Borme is briefed
him in detail on the difficulties that apparently have built
up regarding WUBRINY/4's suspicisons and said that he plans
to have RECKREY devote himself to this wonest. WUBRINY/1 said
that if this is as serious as Mr. Browne appears to believe
it may be necessary to isolate him elsewhere in the WUBRINY
Interests, such as the partnership, and taper him off for
termination at the end of his six months. WUBRINY/1 suggested
that it might be useful to send him to Greece in conjunction
with the Mowhawk tire recap plant.

4.  Martinique - Pumice: WUBRINY/1 said that all arrango-
ments are now made and this is ready to go forward and that
KUBARK should decide right away the contribution we wished to
be made by RECKREY. I told WUBRINY/ we would be back on this
early next week, but I felt sure it was as had been earlier
discussed, namely, that we will foot the bill for RECKREY
time and travel, etc., expenses. Note: I trust Mr. Allen vil
give this priority attention when he returns.

5.  Haition Banker & M. CHARLES: MUARINY/1 said that he
had encountered M. Charles at the Hetional Airport in Washington
at 1920 hours just at the time he was reporting in to me at my
Ozhon. WUBRINYI said that M. CHARLES was nattily dressed in a
gray silk suit and said that he was on his way to Chicago but
had not said why, M. CHARLES was accompanied by George deMOHREN
SHILDT. WUBRINY/I asked M. CHARLES what in the world is going
on now in Haiti and M. CHARLES shrugged and said that he felt
that they would "bring down Papa Doc." No further details were
given and this was apparently a personal opinion rather than
something based on fact or knowledge.

RETVRT

On Friday, 19 June, departed Miami for Kingston, Jamaica via
Pan American, leaving Viani at 9:00 AM and arriving Lingston via Montego Bay
at 10:15 AM. This flight contitares to on to San Juan, Puerto Rico, and latin
passengers are commonplace. In passing through inmigration and cusions, it
is necessary to give the immigration inspector the name of a specific botel
or address at which you can be reached in Jamaica.

Obtained rental car from ilertz Car Rental and departed Lingston
Airport at 10:45 AM via Highway A-4 for Fort Antonio of the worth coast. High-
way 1-4 follows the coast around the eastern tip of the island. There is another
route to Fort Antonio, over the mountains, but it is not recomended. As shown
on the standard highway map of the island, there is a small cove atout seven
niles east of Port Antonio desiguated as "Blue Hole". The core is roughly
200 feet wide by 500 feet long, and completely protected from the open sea
and weather. The cove is extremely deep, and is reported to have a zinizum
depth of six feet at the entrance. lidal range appears to be very small, per-
haps one to two feet.

When I arrived at Blue Hole, which is about 2-1/2 hours by
road from Kingston, Robin Voore was tot available: I went into Port Autonio
and secured a roon at the Ponnie Vue Hotel. I returned to blue Hole about
five o'clock and there wet Robin Voore. Wr. Voore owns most of the land
surrounding Blue Hole. with the Jamaican goverment owning the balance. On
the beach facing the sea, Koore has built and operates a bar-restaurant which
he calls the Teahouse of the Blue Lagoon. Tais accounts for the confusion
between Blue Hole and Blue Lagoon. Cu the side of the mountain descending to
the water. Noore has tuilt and lives in a small studio apartment. He also
owns another small house overlooking Blue Hole. This Couse sas occupied teep-
erarily by a girl who was introduced to me as his fiancee. Margot Palzer. and
her mother, Rita Palner. They are supposed to return to their home in Vancouver,
B.C., about the end of June.

About five o'clock I introduced myself to Voore as a friend of
Antonio de la Carrera, and gave him the more with the recognition symbol. We
talked from five o'clock until about 7:30 at which tire ve had dinner av
parted until the next morning at 11:30.

I spent the night at the Bonnie Vue Hotel and noted in passing
that a U. S. destroyer escort based at Guantanamo Bay was anchored in the
harbor for the weekend, with the sailors being given liberty in Port Antonio
This seems to be a common occurrence, and could perhaps be a source of informa-
tion about Cuban patrol practices along the south coast.

Saturday morning, 20 June. met Moore again. and continued our
discussion of the previous day. During our comersation. he introduced me to
Fred Barrett, a native Jamaican (colored). são is in charge of the operation.
of the bar-restaurant. I left Mr. Voore and Blue Hole about 2:00 o'clock and
drove to kingston, catching the 6:30 Fan American flight tack to Miani, via
Montego Bay.

Following my two serious conversations with Voore. plus ny
observations of the mau himself, plus my reconnaissance of the site itself.
I submit the following items of infomation as being of significance:.

RETURN TO CIA
Background Use Only
Do Not Reproduce

1. Robin Moore

a. Moore has just returned from Viet Nam where he partici-
pated in the combat operations of the American Special Forces in Viet Nam, after
he had gone through about eight months of training at the Special Forces School
at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Some understanding of Moore's personality may be
ontained from reading an interview between him and the magazine U. S. News and
Korld Report. which was published recently. and copy of which was left with
Varia. Further understandings and impressions of Noore may be obtained from
reading his previously published took about Jack Youngblood. an American who
participated in the events leading to Castro's overthrow of Battista.

b. In my opinion. Moore has a burning desire to be known
as a tough, two-fisted, rip roaring soldier of fortune. He has participated
in real war in Viet Nam, and has received what is probably the best training
in the world for guerilla fighters. Lamely. the C. S. Special Forces. Tais
includes training as a parachutist. He is inclined to brag. and is probably
inclined to interperate use of alcohol and women. and his judgement of im-
portant matters is probably immature. However. he definitely understands
and is experienced in guerilla fighting, is experienced in military operations,
and must surely understand military security.

c. He is definitely willing to help, but cannot contribute
cash directly; is willing to furnish the use of the guest house on his property
for limited periods of time. Is willing to participate and aid in an operation
to land people on the south coast of Cuba, but is not villing to commit the we
of his property and facilities as a staging area for resupply in the future.

d. Is willing to come to Miami, for conferences if his
expenses are paid.

2. Site Evaluation

a. Blue Hole is an excellent hartor; protected against
all weather. and with six feet of water at the bar. Is surrounded by very
steep slopes, heavily wooded. Dock facilities are presently very meager,
but could be quickly and easily improved. No fuel for a boat is available
at Blue Hole, and at Fort Antonio (the closest source). the fuel available
is diesel fuel or automotive gasoline; no marice white gasoline is available
auywhere in the area. This is a most significant factor in selecting a
suitable boat.

b. The nearest source of food and other supplies is Port
Autonio; Fred Barrett. manager of the Blue Lagoon Club. orders and hauls
supplies from Port Antonio constantly, and could deliver whatever supplies
were desired. Firearms and explosives are not obtainable on the island.
They would have to be smuggled in illegally.

c. A small station wagon is available for transportation,
provided expenses are paid by users.

3. Miscellaneous. Information

a. A local man. George Munroe. is reported to be a very
experienced small boat captain and one who has brought boats down from Miami

on five different occasions. He is reported to be available to serie as
captain on a fishing boat, and to train a crew。

b. The S.S. Frangeline sails every two weeks from Viami
direct to Port Antonio, and could be employed for the delivery of supplies and
even a loat to Robin Moore.

c. Fred Barreti, manager of the bar-restaurant. seers to
be a very capable man. and for an additional $10 per week added to his regular
pay, would be quite willing to assist any operation.

d. A Mr. Anthony Gason. a retired British army colonel,
is the Jamaica representative for TROJAN boats, at a place called Turtle Cove,
between Port Antonio and Blue Hole.

e. The immigration chief for Jamaica is a man by the name:
of George Eubcuks. who is the former chief of police at Port Antonio: Moore
claims that they are very close personal friends.

d. Moore is acquainted with a ran by the name of Mike Hedges,
who is a nephew of Burke Hedges, the American who becaze Cuba's ambassador to
Chile scue years ago. Mike lives in Kingston, and, if he is not a Battista
sympathizer. might prove to be a very valuable connection. The fazily is re-
ported to be quite wealthy, and would establish an excellent cover.

4. Operational Considerations

a. In order to avoid the use of significant names. I
Justructed Voore to refer to Manolo as George King. and the operatios of
landing him in Cuba would be referred to as Operatiouning. The cost likely
scheme seems to be to establish a suitable boat at Blue Hole. with the cover
story to be that it belongs to Gerican friends of Robin Moore. Housing is
available locally for a limited cumber of Cutans, with Moore being able to
accommodate up to six on his own property. The local boat captain, George
Munroe. could be employed as captaiu initially, to train the Cuban crew in
the local marine conditions, as well as serving as an effective cover.
my opinion, it will not be too difficult for persons to enter Jamaica without
difficulty, provided they know a certain minisum amount of English.

In
I think a suitable location could be found for radio
transmission and reception facilities on the hills surrounding Blue Hole, but
this would have to be examined by someone skilled in radio techniques. Mateo
would be excellent.

In summary, I would say that Robin Moore aud his property and
buildings at Blue Hole would serve as an excellent base of operations. but that
the boat necessary for the operation wuld have to be acquired and equipped
in the states and shipped down there, except for the remote possibility that
a suitable boat could be found in Kingston. I think a headquarters could be
established at small cost through oore's good offices, and I think that Rudy
would be a good choice to coordinate the initial operations there.

SUBJECT: Case 64574 USSR External Policy - Pugwash Conference
Munich, Germany, August 1977

1. Enclosed you will find a list of attendees (Enclosure A)
to the Pugwash Conference held in Munich, Germany, in August, and
a set of questions (Enclosure B) prepared by the ORPA analysts
at our request. Since the original list of attendees contained
only the last name and first initial of each US participant, we
had to make some educated guesses as to the true identities of
many of them. As a result, do not be surprised if some question
why we felt they had attended. In many cases, however, there was
no question as to the true identity of the source.

2. ORPA has been quite pleased with the reporting generated
by their previous requirements. As a result, they have made an
extra effort to write even more thought provoking requirements.
We feel that the enclosed questions are the best we have sent out
to date.

3. Responsive reporting should cite the current CISL, Objective
Ala and KIQ 90. We look forward to receiving your responses.

SOURCE US citizen, executive of an import/export company with extensive business

leaders. He speaks Spanish fluently.
1. The Government of Honduras (GOH) recently obtained a US$12 zillion loan
from the Central American Bank of Economic Integration for the expansion
of the Azucarera del Sur sugar mill located in Choluteca, Honduras. In
addition, the GOH has purchased two sugar mills, one in Brazil and the
other in Puerto Rico. The mills, bought at a cost of US$15 million each,
will be dismantled and shipped to caduras, where they will be reassembled
with the aid of foreign technicians. Also, another sugar nill is to be
built in the country at a cost of US$20 million; however, the Japanese
Mitsubishi enterprise will be the major stockholder, while Honduran private
businessmen will hold a minority interest. This is part of an expansion
and modernization program by the GOH with hopes of obtaining a larger
share of the world's sugar market.
2. The GCE is somewhat concerned with the infiltration through Mexico and
Guatemala of Communist agitators and guerrilla training personnel. These
guerrillas, mostly Cubans who remained in the country after they had
arrived allegedly to assist the GOH following Hurricane Fifi, are causing
growing concern as a result of several uprisings and invasion of private
lands by peasants in several parts of the country. The Cubans, who stayed
In the country following Hurricane Fifi and others who have arrived
clandestinely since that time, reportedly are training leftist militants
and sympathizers among the Honduran peasants. The agitators and guerrilla
instructors are taking advantage of growing unemployment and the overall
poor national economic situation to stir the peasants into activity against
the government.

US citizen, executive of an import/export company with extensive business
connections in Central America and the Caribbean. Ee makes important trips
to these areas and has contact with high ranking military and political
leaders. He speaks Spanish fluently.
1. The new military regime in Honduras currently is holding talks with
Venezuela and hopes to sign an economic agreement in the very near
future. With that mind, the Goverment of Honduras (GOH) recently
sent a high level commission to Venezuela headed by Captain Armando
San Martin, Secretary of State for Economy and Commerce and by Attorney
Antonio Jose Cuello to ivid discussions with high ranking Venezuelan
Government officials. Prior to the talks, the GOH recently sold to
Venezuela 25 million linear feet of lumber at a total cost of US$5
million. The GOH hopes to reach an agreement by which Venezuela would
buy Honduran agricultural products for an unspecified mix of cash and
petroleum products. In addition, Venezuela would support a new agri-
cultural production plan to be implemented in the very near future by
Fernando Montes, Honduran Secretary of State for Agriculture.
2. Despite reports that Chief Executive Colonel Juan Alberto Melgar Castro
has unquestioned authority, Honduran military sources have indicated
that Mario Maldonado, Agrarian Refora Chief; Lieutenant Colonel Mario
Fonseca, Director of the Military Academy, and Lieutenant Colonel Juan
Ramon Molina Cisneros, Commander of the First Artillery Battalion are
the real "power behind the throne." These officers, who profess a
strong nationalist ideology, are interested simply in the general welfare
of the Honduran people, and they are maintaining a "watchdog" attitude
to insure that no one, especially people in positions of power, uses
such positions for his own personal benefit. These officers are members
of the National Defense Council (NDC), which also includes the commanders
of all major military units in the country. Maldonado, Fonseca, and
Molina appear to be the "first among equals" in the 15 member NDC.

THIS IS UNEVALUATED INFORMATION
US national, executive of an import-export company. He is a frequent
traveler to Central and South America where he has developed good
contacts in the political and business sectors. He speaks Spanish
fluently.
1. Businessmen in Honduras have reported that the economic and political
situation in the country, currently in a sad state of affairs, is bound
to become worse as a result of the indifference being exhibited by
President Oswaldo Lopez Arellano. On the economic side, the private
business sector is quite concerned about an expected government move
to nationalize the fishing industry. Some foreign firms already are
pulling out of the country and moving to nearby countries like
Nicaragua and El Salvador. On the political side, President Lopez
has failed to name a permanent foreign minister since November 1974,
when Cesar Batres occupied that post. Ricardo A. Pineda is performing
those duties on an interim basis. The President also has undermined
Honduran youth by giving in to the demands of the leftist-controlled
labor unions. He gives businessmen the impression that he does not
know much about government; consequently, the situation in the country
has become very unstable.
2. Apparently, the regime in Honduras wants to emulate the current
Peruvian Government in failing to even consider elections at all.
In fact, the government, which is controlled by the military, has
three pro-left ministers in the cabinet. They are Manuel Acosta
Bonilla, Secretary of State for Finance; Guatama Fonseca Zuniga,
Secretary of State for Labor and Social Security, and Manlio Martinez
Cantor, Executive Secretary, Planning Board. At one time, Acosta was
the private secretary of the Mexican leftist leaser Vicente Lombardo
Toledano, so he has been thoroughly indoctrinated along Marxist lines.

Letters Received by AMCORE-2

As stated below

REF: UFOT 3613, 3 January 1963

1. Headquarters appreciates receiving the enclosures to UFOT 2737
and the reference. The usefulness of this material, however, could be
enhanced considerably if AMCORE-2’s source were guided as to the items
to be diverted. Also, headquarters envisions an excellent possibility
for placing or exchanging items, were it possible to communicate with
AMCORE-2’s source. Could this be achieved, a profitable relationship with
the source might develop, gradually dropping AMCORE-2 out of the picture.

2. JIGAVE is requested to try to get the identity of AMCORE-2’s source
and/or to consider ways to establish contact.

1. Reference is made to the last form regarding Subject who entered the United States on 3 October 1964. The files of this office contain the following pertinent information.

2. According to another office of this Agency, a Pan American Airways employee who spends considerable time in Haiti stated that during his many trips there he learned Subject has demanded and received things from members of the Ton Ton Macoutes (TTM, President DUVALIER's Internal Security Force). One incident occurred at a DUVALIER rally held at the Presidential Palace on 1 May 1964. A palace guard refused to allow Subject to leave the grounds while someone was speaking. SAUREL called a member of the TTM, demanded to be released, and was allowed to leave. On 20 September 1964, a source of unknown reliability, whose family was well ac- quainted with Subject, commented that Subject was a member of the TTM.

3. According to a report received in September 1964 from an untested source, Subject, a former employee of Pan American Airways in Fort-au-Prince who was recently named Director of the Haitian Tourist Bureau in New York, is an agent of President DUVALIER. DUVALIER is counting heavily on SAUREL because of the latter's experience in dealing with American personalities and situations.

a. He is of Polish descent or citizenship.

b. At the time of the KENNEDY assassination, he had a $300 thousand contract with the Haitian Government to explore the country's natural resources.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Conversations with REICHHARDT, 8, 9, 16, 17 September 1959

1. On 8 September Reichhardt phoned to report the following:
a. He took Marcos DIAZ Lans to the office of INS on Monday, 7 September to take care of his immigration status. (Comment: I was later called by Bill COTTER
of the Alien Branch, CS concerning this. CUTTER said that when they reported this to INS that service said that AEFENS, the INS man in Miami has told them that DIAZ hearing had already been held shortly after his arrival. COTTER implied that Bernie was not reporting accurately on the situation in Miami. I have not re-peated this to Bernie, because Alien branch seems to be in something of a tissy in regard to the new people in INS with whom they are dealing as a result of recent transfers of personnel.)

b. Porrata asked me to clarify what I wanted in the way of an affidavit of support for the wife of Marcos DIAZ. I dictated a simple statement and told Bernie to have it notarized and accompanied by a bank statement or similar document indicating WILLIAMS' ability to support her. I told it became unnecessary.

c. Bernie reported that Mrs. Catherine TAAPS, the international busybody claims that she is going to Cuba on our instigation. She is accompanied by her entire family. This information came from the Miami Chief of Detectives to the 00 Representative.

d. Bernie asked how he could identify himself to the three evacuees in Miami we have instructed his to contact re going to the Dominican Republic on our behalf. I told him to use Dave Morales' name.

e. He asked me for information on our dispatch to Cura in connection with the PRC's for AC00 and the gift. I told him I'd check and let him know. (Comment: The same day I saw a dispatch from Havana answering the questions, an info copy of which went to Bernie.)

2. I phoned Reichhardt on 9 September and we discussed the following matters:

a. I told him about the visit of Angel Bus. He said he had talked with VERS on this matter and that VERS reported that Bus came to Miami on 1 September and left on 3 September. VERS thinks he is a secret police agent. Bernie is to see VERS for details on this. (Comment: Reichhardt's report was received on 11 September.)

b. Reichhardt asked me to check on his money situation since no deposit has been made.

c. Reichhardt asked if I had seen copies of the news letter being distributed by Emilio MONTUONDO called Latin American Events. IN MEZ is listed as editor and publisher and the firm is Latin American Affairs Inc., 1023 Connecticut avenue, Washington. The first issue was published on ? August. The 17 August issue includes a list of Communists. (Comment: I am arranging for the CIA library to procure loan copies of the publication for me to review.)

d. MWEZ was in Miami last week. ORTEGA did not see him, but according to TEGA's sources, MWEZ strongly implied that he has succeeded in obtaining US support in the Departments of State and Defense including commitments for training sites in the United States. MEZ also said that he is in touch with Col. King. This was covered in Uhaz-15.

3. On 15 September I talked with Reichhardt concerning the following
a. Ricardo LORIE saw ROS. Bernie will see LORIE about this.
b. Bernie will see FOX this week.
c. The addresses for the two evacuees who came by way of El Salvador are not correct. I told Bernie to try to find out where they are from the third, with whom he is in contact.

d. Bernie asks that his local travel order be renewed. (Comment: I checked this and the order has been renewed through 31 December 1959.)

4. On 16 September the following matters were discussed with Reichhardt:

SECRET

SECRET
a. SANINS: He called in the morning to ask for infor-mation on this man. According to Reichhardt, LUATE says that he was fire from the DIER for anti-Communist activities and was expected to arrive in Miami last night. UAE is worried about him because of his previous post as No. 2 man in the Mia. The Cuban card confirms that he held the latter post.

b. De LORIE says that he knows RCS well, and likes him. They met in Miami last week. RCS is in Miami again. RCS is principally interested in getting Reynaldo BLANCO out of Cuba. RCS says he was told the American Embassy can have no part of this but suggested he (RCS) ask De LORIE to see his Miami contact about assistance. Bernie discouraged LORIE about helping BLANCO. Bernie feels it is strange that Station Havana would tell ROS about LORIE's Miami contact and that the former might have mis-represented what was said. (Comment: We cannot positively identify BLANCO although such an individual was listed by LORIE and the DIAZ Lans as an Army officer. It may have been one of the 1957 regular army plotters.).

c. LORIE also asked help in converting Pesos to dollars. Bernie did not give him an answer on this.

d. LORIE said he wants to establish contact with ROS. The plan we have so far only envisages communication from RCS in Havana to LORIE. While Bernie would prefer to handle the matter personally, I think I convinced him that this is unfeasible because of the danger of provocation. He therefore suggested having Cheesman brought into the picture, anonymously, as an individual who would get in touch with LORIE when there is something for him from ROS, and who will call LORIE periodically to find out if LORIE wants to transmit anything to ROS. This sounds OK to me. Bernie will see CHESMAN within the next few days on this.

e. LORIE told Bernie that Cuban opposition views BONSAL'S trip to the US as a victory for the opposition but that if BONSAL returned to Cuba they will view the return as a triumph for CASTRO.

f. According to an 00 source Mrs. Katherina TAAFE will be returning to the US from Cuba in a few days. She told at least one American in Cuba, Barry Rosenfeld, that she is working for CIA.

5. In connection with my earlier query re the report from Cube that the Revolutionary Air Force is planning to remove a couple of planes from the US to Cuba without an export permit, Bernie got the following information from STEPS. A Cuban air force mission is in Miami concerning the aircraft. The Cubans are happy with the way STEPS has handled things for them even though they don't have the export license yet. As has been asked STEPS to a party in Havana to be given by Juan Almeida in his honor. He may go on Friday. Do we have requirements for him?

5. On the morning of 17 August I phoned Bernie to tell him about the followup on the report concerning the planes (Haba 2653). He said Reynolds phoned him on the evening of 16 September about this. Bernie said he passed the information to Customs, who said that since the Cuban Air Force are the owners of the planes (they are AT 6's) there is little that can be done if they file flight plans for a local flight and then leave for Cuba. They asked Bernie for suggestions and he said he had none. STEPS reports that the Cubans asked him if he could find American pilots for the planes and he said he'd try, but actually has no intention of doing so. STEPS was impressed at the speed and accuracy of our information, but believes that the Cuban Government is being precipitate in expecting to get the planes out.

1. DCHAR wes asked first to bring me up to date on what he and the others
in his group have been doing and he reported that they were not doing wich of
anything except waiting. Waiting, first, for some funds which they are expertiag
to come primarily from the sale of the 3-5; and, second, waiting for the esta
lishment of sore better commisation with their contacts in Ciba.

2. With regard to the sinaft, DM told me on this date that he believes
he does now have a sale for the aircraft and he thinks the sale price will be between
03$50 and US$55 thousand.

3. AR se i that plz has communicated with comeone co (he vasn't sure cf
the name) in an attempt to it funds fama people in Ciba. EAR presente:
this in the light that co was "authorizing" some people in Cuba to go ahead
and solicit funds. In this acnection, DER mentioned that at pre time in the
past Julio LOBO (note: this name has never been mentioned in any previous conversations
with this group) had considered donating 134100 thousand for the air force school
which DEAR was promoting at that time, ut apparently became frightened of the
deal and nothing along this me materialized. DOEAR said that he was hopef that
sonetine he would be able to reestablish contact with 1030. All is references
entirely coincidentai to my sizgestions zie to BMW that I mat try to bring
this group together with Julia 030. Zaving learned of this previous connection,
I want to revive this idea ani proceed with the pien to bring these two together.

4. If and when they are able to scriate sore funds, it is their intention
to go ahead with their plans for the establishment of a propaganda program which
would be initially voice radi. ODCHAR said that he had been trying to persuase
OLEDBIAS and EDCOVE to a more new program within the limitations which I had sited
for then in a previous meeting (See -). He said he thinks now that this is
the more realistic approach, Dove holds to the original thinking that they 02
cannot comit themselves to sa initations. DER informed me that DCOVE requests
another recting with me. He was told that I would be away for a few days but veuid
contact hin as soon as I retum.

5. I then questioned DCER about his mowledge and DBLAS' mowledge of the
presence of Soviet Russians.DER stated that his only information had come
5 to him through Douglas ROOT (ls to the Canadian via DVR referred to frequentiv
in his carlier debriefing SADELLY et al). Root claimed to his to have seen the 05
Soviets in Santiago de Cuba ani DCHAR said that furthermore he had ottained the names
which he passed to Colonel LS in the American Brassy in Serena. When acced if
he thought these were the same Sovith that 13 hei referred to 'n his testirny
in Washington, DCEAR said he felt that they were, although he believed GORIAS
information was obtained independent of als, DCHAR'S, source.

६. Going on in this vein, DCHAR stated that ROOT is one of several people
whom DEAR encouraged to remain in place and to go afing with Raul CASTRO and others
for the purpose of obtaining are specifie formation on Commists and Commist
activities in the armed forces. de said that along this line had been fint-05
