[42]ACTION REQUESTED: PLEASE PASS TO NOC SIDNEY B.
[44]CALLICRATE PRIOR TO HIS TDY DEPARTURE TO MONTEVIDEO.
[46]SUMMARY: THIS CABLE CONTAINS ASSESSMENT DATA FROM
[48]FGFORK/86 (F/86) ON SLLARCENY/1 (L/1), BASED ON F/86’'S
[49]OBSERVATIONS OF, AND DISCUSSIONS WITH, L/1 AND FAMILY DURING
[50]THEIR REF OUTING TO CHUY IN EARLY JAN 94.
[52]L/1 DID THE DRIVING FROM MONTEVIDEO TO CHUY. HE DOES
[54]NOT LIKE DRIVING AT NIGHT OR IN THE RAIN. IN CONTRAST WITH HIS
[55]NORMALLY PLEASANT PERSONALITY, L/1 BECOMES AGGRESSIVE AND
[56]NERVOUS BEHIND THE WHEEL.
[58]WHILE FAMILIES WERE STAYING TOGETHER IN RATHER SMALL
[60]BEACH HOUSE, L/1 AND HIS WIFE GOT INTO A FIGHT. SHE APPEARED
[62]TO BE THE INSTIGATOR. F/86'S WIFE LATER TALKED TO L/1'S WIFE
[64]IN PRIVATE. L/1’S WIFE SAID SHE BLAMES L/1 BECAUSE WHEN L/1 ‘
[65]DIVORCED HIS PREVIOUS WIFE, HE GAVE HER HIS APARTMENT. THUS
[67]L/1 AND HIS CURRENT WIFE WILL NOT HAVE THEIR OWN PLACE TO LIVE
[69]WHEN THEY EVENTUALLY RETURN TO CUBA. THAT IS WHY, DURING THEIR
[71]PREVIOUS TRIP TO CUBA FROM URUGUAY, L/1 AND WIFE BUILT AN EXTRA
[73]ROOM ONTO HOUSE OF MRS. L/1‘S PARENTS IN GUANABO.
[75]MRS. L/1 ALSO SAID THAT L/1 IS "MUY CONSUMISTA" (I.E.,
[77]A COMPULSIVE SHOPPER), AND THAT SHE HAS TO CONTROL HIM WHEN
[78]THEY GO TO THE SUPERMARKET BECAUSE L/1 ALWAYS BUYS TOO MUCH.
[79]MRS. L/1 EXPLAINED THAT L/1 GREW UP IN A VERY POOR FAMILY.
[80]THAT IS WHY HE NOW BUYS TOO MUCH OF EVERYTHING. SHE ALSO
[82]SECREY

[86]‘SECRET
[87]MHFNO: 94-5394206 SENSIND: PL PAGE: 2
[88]CRITICIZED L/1 FOR SPOILING THEIR CHILDREN (HIS OLDER DAUGHTER
[89]BY PREVIOUS MARRIAGE AND THEIR YOUNGER DAUGHTER), BY GIVING
[90]THEM WHATEVER THEY ASK FOR. MRS. L/1 HAS A POOR RELATIONSHIP
[91]WITH THE OLDER DAUGHTER. SHE ADDED THAT L/1’S RELATIONSHIP
[92]WITH HIS TWO GROWN SONS IS GOOD BUT SOMEWHAT DISTANT.
[94]6. F/86 PERSONALLY OBSERVED L/1'S COMPULSIVE SHOPPING WHEN
[95]THEY ALL WENT TO CHUY ON 8 JAN. BOTH L/1 AND HIS WIFE BOUGHT
[96]LARGE NUMBER OF ITEMS TO SEND TO THEIR FAMILY IN CUBA. AT ONE
[97]POINT, L/i TOLD HIS WIFE. THAT HE WOULD DO THE BUYING AND SHE
[98]SHOULD BE THE HOUSEWIFE. MRS. L/1 CALLED HIM A “DUMB SPANIARD"
[99]("GALLEGO BRUTO"). F/86 SUSPECTS THAT L/1 AND WIFE HAVE OTHER
[100]PROBLEMS, POSSIBLY DUE TO L/1‘S INFIDELITY. DURING THEIR
[101]SPATS, MRS. L/1 WAS USUALLY THE AGGRESSOR, WITH L/1 TRYING TO
[102]KEEP PEACE OR SIMPLY REMAINING QUIET. MRS.. L/1 ALSO GOT INTO
[103]ARGUMENTS WITH SOME OF THE PALESTINIAN MERCHANTS IN CHUY.
[105]7. ONE OTHER ASPECT OF L/1'S FAMILY WHICH F/86 FOUND
[106]DISAGREEABLE WAS BEHAVIOR OF L/1'S OLDER DAUGHTER. F/86 AND
[107]HIS WIFE WERE BOTH OFFENDED BY DAUGHTER'S FREQUENT SEXUAL
[108]REFERENCES IN FRONT OF F/86'S YOUNGER CHILDREN. F/86 SAID THAT
[109]L/1‘S DAUGHTER ACTED JUST LIKE A CUBAN HOOKER.
[111]8. ON A MORE ELEVATED PLANE, F/86 ALSO HAD SOME PRIVATE
[112]PHILOSOPHICAL AND POLITICAL DISCUSSIONS WITH L/1. IN RESPONSE
[113]TO F/86‘S DIRECT QUESTION, L/1 SAID THAT THE WRITERS WHO HAVE
[114]INFLUENCED HIM THE MOST ARE MARX, HEGEL AND KANT. L/1 SAID
[115]THAT LENIN’S MAIN ACHIEVEMENT WAS TO RECOGNIZE NEED FOR ONLY
[116]ONE PARTY. 1/1 CONSIDERS LENIN TO HAVE BEEN AN INTEPRETER OF
[117]MARX BUT NOT A GREAT THEORETICIAN. TO SOME EXTENT, L/1
[118]DEFENDED LENIN'S SO-CALLED "LAW OF ECONOMIC PRUDENCE", A MEANS
[119]OF ECONOMIC PLANNING WHICH LENIN UNSUCCESSFULLY ATTEMPTED TO
[120]IMPLEMENT IN USSR. AFTER LENIN’S DEATH, IT BECAME EXCESSIVELY
[121]BUREAUCRATIZED AND ATROPHIED, ALTHOUGH THIS SYSTEM DID WORK
[122]WITH SOME SUCCESS IN BULGARIA.
[124]9. L/1 ALSO ACKNOWLEDGED NEED FOR "NEOLIBERAL MEDICINE" TO
[125]REFORM CUBAN ECONOMY, BECAUSE THERE IS NO OTHER SOLUTION. L/1
[126]ADDED, HOWEVER, THAT REFORMS SHOULD BE INSTITUTED WITH MINIMUM
[127]SOCIAL AND POLITICAL COSTS. WHILE STATE SHOULD NOT BE
[128]EXCESSIVELY INTERVENTIONIST IN ECONOMY, L/1 WANTS STATE TO
[129]RETAIN ITS PROTECTIVE SOCIAL ROLE, BECAUSE MARKET ECONOMY ALSO
[130]HAS ITS FAULTS. ‘
[132]10. L/i TALKED ABOUT ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT JOHN F.
[133]KENNEDY. ACCORDING TO L/1, IN 1969, L/1 PERSONALLY SAW FIDEL
[134]CASTRO RECEIVE A GROUP OF U.S. RADICALS. CASTRO TALKED TO THEM
[135]FOR TWO HOURS ABOUT WHY JUST ONE ASSASSIN COULD NOT POSSIBLY
[136]HAVE KILLED KENNEDY. CASTRO ORDERED A REENACTMENT OF THE
[137]CRIME, USING HIS BEST MARKSMEN, AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE
[139]*WHAT<LEE HARVEY OSWALD>SUPPOSEDLY DID BY HIMSELF. L/1 SAID
[140]THAT THREE GROUPS WERE INVOLVED IN KILLING THE PRESIDENT: ONE
[141]GROUP OF CUBANS, ONE GROUP O "MAFIOSOS" AND A THIRD GROUP OF
[142]MERCENARIES. THE THIRD GROUP INCLUDED A MAN WITH A GREEK
[143]NAME. L/1 TOLD F/86 THAT IT IS NOT KNOWN WHETHER ANY OF THESE
[145]. SECRET
