[22]MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
[24]SUBJECT: Contact Report. Meeting with AMWHIP-1
[26]DATE 21 May 1965, 1300-1430 hours
[28]PLACE : National Airport
[30]PRESENT Subject and DiUbaldo as Breitheim
[32]1, On 20 May I phoned Subject and requested that he travel to
[33]Washington to discuss the background of his discussions with
[34](UNSNAFU-19 from which stemmed the suggestion that A-l supply a
[35]French-English-Spanish speaking secretary to 19's mission in
[36]Paris. The meeting was quite short for as it turned out, the hodeet
[37]discussion between Subject andQ19 on the topic of secretaries, had’
[38]taken place in March 1965, aged had been little more than a casual
[39]sort of thing devoid of any specifics whatever and, in particular,
[40]devoid of any commitment by either party to proffer or to accepta
[41]profferred body. Nevertheless, Subject felt quite certain that slots
[42]would still be open fh G©319's mission and that a recommendation from
[43]him would suffice to effect favorable action by G19.

[47]2. I sketched AMBUNNY's qualifications stressing the fact that
[48]she had gone to school in the U.S,, had worked here, and had done
[49]a hitch as a social secretary for the(American Ambassador in La Paz. 0
[50]Subject drew the obvious conclusions that it might be difficult to
[51]dummy up AMBUNNY's labenslauf adequately to prevent her from
[52]being “discovered" by the Cubans. At any rate, since ske was our °
[53]only candidate, Subject agreed to meet with her in New York so that
[54]together they could thresh out the pragmatics of the problem. The
[55]meeting was set for 22 May. Al Marin (alias) would participate in this
[57]meeting,

[64]; 3. For the record, I should like to note that in the two and a
[65]half years since I had last seen- Subject he had aged over 15 years,
[66]When I last saw him he was a round-faced, dark-haired, boyish person
[67]and has now been transformed into a very grey, very puffy, 50 year old
[68]man though I understand his chronological age is something short of 40.
[69]These observations ‘kad nothing to do with anything except they might
[70]indicate that Subject is living under a great strain. I derived the
[71]impression, which coincides with that I obtained the first time I met
[72]with Subject, that he is constitutionally oblique in his approach to
[73]matters. He is a very difficult person to corner. Iam firmly
[74]convinced that to date in this operation, if it may be called that, we have
[76]“never come close to placing Subject in the corner and that it is high time
[77]we do so, I do not imply that he is a man of ill will, rather that
[78]instinctively he is a man who slides off problems until such time as he
[79]feels he has sufficient evidence or is in the right posture to solve them.
[80]I should think it would be our task to exploit these natural capacities
[81]while at the same time attempting to assure that Subjects not sliding
[83]away from us.
