[24]1, Following are the results of the debriefing of AMPAUNA~14 in
[25]the JMWAVE area from 422 November to 2 December 1963.
[27]3. AMFAUNA-14 did not leave her apartment all day Sunday, 6 Oct,
[28]fa Honday, 7 October, she went to work as usual. When she arrived, she
[29]found a letter waiting for her which had been forwarded to her office
[30]from her accommodation address; it was in AMPAUNA-1's handwriting and
[31]contained nothing of any interest, so she was sure there was a secret
[32]writing message on it. -
[34]3, At 1253 hours two men arrived at the office, one about 45 years
[35]old and short, who from his appearance might have been a bus driver,
[36]and the other a very young dark-skinned man. They walked into the
[37]office vestibule and toid the guard that they wanted to see AMFAUNA~14. |
[38]fhe guard came into the office to give AMFAUNA-14 the message, and the
[39]two men followed right behind. They told AMFAUNA-14 that she had to
[40]come with them to identify an arrested person. AMFAUNA-14 said that
[41]eho would have to ask her supervisor for permission to leave, because
[42]it was not yet closing time. She turned to go back into the office,
[43]and the two men followed her in. The supervisor told her that it .
[44]would be all right for her to go, but said that she should check in by
[45]phone if there were any difficulty. AMFAUNA*id's father and uncle,
[46]both of whom work in the same office, asked whether they could come
[47]with her. The men said no, because she would be coming right back;
[48]they said they were taking her to "G-2" headquarters in La Vibora,

[76]S. At the DSE headquarters in Villa Maristas, AMFAUNA-14 was
[77]_ turned over to a militiawoman who had her strip and perrormed a body
[78]‘§ search on her. She was fingerprinted and photographed and her biograph
[79]data were taken down, after which she was locked in a cell which had
[80]an adjoining private bath. Nothing else of importance happened for
[81]the rest of the day.

[89]aloname. He no roduce himself, but she saw the name on her
[90]release papers which he signed. He was born about 1918 and is about
[91]5*4" tall, weighs about 160 pounds, and haz a fat build, aquiline nose,
[92]greenish eyes, dark skin, grey-brown wavy hair, rough laborer's hands,
[93]and two teeth missing from the lower jaw. He smokes both cigars and
[94]cigarettes, his manner was soft and kindly, and AMFAUNA-14 believes
[95]-he ia probably poorly educated. He is married, but AMFAUNA-14 did not
[96]arn whether he has children or what his address is. He wears civilia
[97]“pilothes and drives a black 1956 Pontiac with a grey roof. Discussing
[98]@ man later in the AMCOG household, AHFAUNA-14 was told by Pedro

[111](b) “Carlos” aka "Samuel": AMFAUNA-14 does not know hie true
[112]name, He was born about IS4Z or perhaps a little earlier. He is _
[113]about 5°6" tall, weighs about 150 pounds, and has a muscular build, —
[114]drooping eyelids, light olive skin, wavy chestnut hair with a widows —
[115]peak. He is a nervous pacer, and walks with his head bent forward and
[116]‘tilted slightly to one side, An expression which he frequently used
[117]was "0.E." pronounced “OKAH" with the accent on the first syllable.
[119]He told AMFAUNA-14 that he had been a student in the Commercial School
[120]of Havana, that he had worked clandestinely under the Batista regime,
[121]had been arrested by Col, Esteban VENTURA Novo, had been released due
[122]to the influence of his father, and had gotten out.of the country with
[123]the aid of the Mexican Ambassador to Cuba, coming then to the United
[124]States. He drives a 1959 black and white Chevrolet Corvair, wears
[126]/ eivilian clothea#, and carries a pistol, sometimes a .45 and sometimes
[127]a .38, AMFAUNA-14 believes him to be a 100% Communist. She thinks he
[129]' gay have been somewhat better trained than Francisco ABAD and may have
[130]been somewhat superior in rank, although this was never clearly evident
[131]Thera soemed to be a little professional jealousy between the two men.
[132]If she told one man something which she had been unable to remember’
[133]for the other, the second would show signs of jealousy or resentment.
[134]“Carlos” subsequently told ANFAUNA-14 to phone 61-4319 and ask for
[135]“Gemuel" when she wanted to reach him. She phoned him at this number
[136]about ten times in all. The phone was alwaya answered by the same
[137]woman, except for. once when a boy answered and then called for his
[138]mcther to come and take the phone, AMFAUNA-14 would ask for "Samuel"
[139]aud the woman would invariably reply that he was not there. AMFAUNA-
[140]14 would then ask the woman to take a message for him to please call
[141]"Dolores," The woman would always reply "Yes, Comrade." Discussing
[142]this person later within the AMCOG household, AMFAUNA-14 was told by

[171]one Antonia CARCANO Araujo as a communist in charge of vigilance, and |
[172]living at 47 Artes St., Casablanca. There also appears to be a Maria
[173]ARAUJO (born about 1904) who ia an old-timo Communist living at Artes
[174]47. AMFAUNA-1 has been given the names of several former residents of

[234]what connection she had had with Angel BRINGAS. AMFAUNA~14 said that
[235]she had known BRINGAS no better than she had known NEGRET, ABAD said
[236]that she was lying and urged that she cooperate. AMFAUNA-14 promised
[237]that she would cooperate. ABAD said that NEGRET had told the DSE that
[238]AMVAUHA-14 had had sexual relations with BRINGAS, and AMFAUNA-14 denied
[239]the allegation.
[241]14,.-The interrogation was again interrupted, and AMPAUNA-14 was
[242]ret to her cell. When she returned to the interrogation room,

[266]15, - ABAD began by telling her that she was in a very serious —
[268]situation because he knew that she had had very close connections
[269]® KUBARK agent. ABAD asked whether AMFAUNA~1 was identical with
[271]Nyuite.” AMPAUNA-14 gaid that AMFAUNA-1 had been known as "Julio,"
[272]SBAD then wanted to know whether NEGRET had been working with "Julio."
[273]AMPAUNA-14 denied this. ABAD asked whether NEGRET had known "Julio,"
[274]AMPAUHA-14 denied this too, but volunteered the information that "Julio!
[275]had provided NEGRET with mail facilities, and that AMFAUNA-14 had been |
[276]the cutout between them, Did NEGRET know of "Julio's" existance, ABAD
[277]wanted to Know. AMFAUNA-14 said thet herdaxd not, that she had brought -
[278]MBGRET mail and money which she had gotten from "Julio," and had picked
[279]wail up from him and delivered it to “Sulto, " but that NEGRET had
[280]never known "Julio's" identity.
[282]16. The truth about AMFAUNA-14's relations with NEGRET and BRINGAS
[283]' according to her statements to her KUBARK case officer in November 1963
[284]in the JMWAVE area, is as follows:
[286]: (a) In about mid-1962, AMCOG-2 asked AMFAUNA-14 to serve as
[287]cutout’ ‘between herself and an unidentified agent, and AMFAUNA-14
[288]« AMFAUNA-14 was driven to the meeting site, which was on the
[289]Bidewalk in front of a textile factory near Calle 100 in Marianao, by
[291]2's chauffeur, a Spaniard named "Segundo," This agent introduced .
[292]4
[294]himself to AMNFAUNA- only as. "El *NEGRO", and * AMFAUNA-14 described |
[295]herself to him as an employee of an unidentified embassy. For contact .
[296]. purposes, “El Negro" gave her the telephone number 29-4900 or 40-4900,
[298](b) Later, when AMFAUNA-14 began to trust "El Negro" more,
[299]ghe gave him the telephone number of her mother, She learned that
[300]R21 Ragrotfa" true name wae taie RBranlio VILLAR Negret, and that he
[301]~ Javed in a omall room in the rear of the textile factory, The telephone
[302]‘fumber which he had given her was always answered by a woman whose
[303]Heme ahe learned to be "Maximina,"
[305]° (c) VILLAR Negret was born about 1928, and was about Btait
[307]tall with broad shoulders and.a strong build. He had black wavy hair, |
[309]brewn ‘eycs, an olive skin, and a face marked by acne. AMFAUNA-14
[310]_ Rever learned anything about his family directly from him, but DSE
[312]officers told her that he was married with one child, and thes h
[314]parents lived on a farm in Pinar del Rio Province, 1.14
[316](4d) VILLAR Negret was a member o
[318]Denocratica, which AMFAUNA-14 understands to be a successor organizatios:
[320]to the AAA of Aureliano SANCHEZ Arango, He had formerly belonged to
[321]en action component of this organization, but more recently had de-
[322]oP perue himsel? to intelligence collection. AMPAUNA-14 brought h Ate
[323]fuctions and money from AMCOG-2, and picked up his intelligenc “
[324]./eoports which she delivered to ANCOG-2, She underst that "AMCOG-2
[325]jent these reports via diplomatic channela to Fr: AEZ inNjiant As

[338](f) According to what the DSE officers told her, "El Negro"
[339]was errested about 1 October and was to be shot. AMFAUNA-14 asked her
[340]DSE interrogators whether it would not be possible to reindoctrinate
[341]"Bl Negro” instead of shoot him, but they told her that it was not

[357](g) On 12 or 13 October 1963, after AMFAUNA-14 had been re- -
[358]leased, she was tolephoned at her place of employment ‘by Angel BRINGAS.
[359]who told her guardedly that "Bl Negro" had been arrested and said that
[360]he would like to send a female cousin of his to talk to AMFAUNA-14. A
[361]meeting was arranged in the home of ANFAUHA-14's mother,- The female
[362]cousin, whose name was "Gladys", told AMFAUNA-14 that BRINGAS had gone
[363]into hiding and wondered whether "the family with which she worked"
[364](the AMCOGS) could help him get into asylum, AHMFAUNA-14 snid that she
[365]doubted this. "Gladys" told AMFAUNA-14 that, in case it were possible
[366]to do anything for BRINGAS, she should tc lephone "Gladys" with an
[367]innocent message. It was understood that @ meeting would take place at
[368]1600 hours on the same day of the telephone call at the Ten Cent Store
[369]9rd between 10th and 12th in Vedado, AM#AUNA-14 does not remember -
[370]Gladys' telephone number which was left with her mother.
[372](h) In spite of what AMFAUNA-14 told the DSE, AMFAUNA-1 had:
[373]had nothing to do with NEGRET. AMFAUNA-i4 had told this story to pro-
[374]tect ARCOG-2, NEGRET had known that AMCOG-2 was involved, and had once
[375]had a meoting with her in her home. Nevertheless, AMFAUNA-14 briefed
[376]ABCOG-2 on the cover story which she had told the DSE and told her that,
[377]dn case she were ever arrested and questioned, she should admit having
[378]talked to NEGRET in her home, but deny having been involved in the
[379]communications channel or knowing anything about it,

[399]17. ABAD appeared to be part feularly interested in how NBSGRET’ ‘and
[400]"Julio" obtained their funds, and kept returning to thie subject during
[401]the interrogation,
[403]16, ABAD then addressed himself to the contents of the envelope
[404]and a suitcase found in AHFAUNA-14‘'s apartment. He commented that all
[405]these. things appeared to belong to AMFAUNA-1 and his son, and asked .how
[406]they happened to be there, ANMFAUNA-14 replied that AMFAUNA-1 and his
[407]eon, together with AMFAUNA-3, had been hiding for a few days in her
[408]apartment because their usual hiding place had become unavailable.
[410]19. ABAD wanted to know how and when AMFAUNA-14 had first riet
[411]AMPAUHA-1. ANFAUNA-14 replied that she had met AMFAUNA-1 in about
[412]February 1962, that AMFAUNA-1 had regularly parked his car in a lot near
[413]her office and that they had seen each other on the street frequently,
[414]that ANFAUNA-1- had finally spoken to her, and that a friendship had:-
[415]doveloped which finally turned into a love affair, (Comment: This was
[416]a lie told to conceal the fact that it had been AMCUTLER=2 who had in--
[417]troduced thes.) She said that AMFAUNA-1 had been her lover until about
[418]July 1963 when she broke up with him because he was too busy with .
[419]clandestine work to pay the proper amount . of attention to her.
[421]20, ABAD asked what part AMFAUNA-14 had played in AMFAUNA-1's .
[422]clandestine activities, AMFAUNA-14 replied that AMFAUNA-1..would some-
[423]. tises telephone her late at night to invite her to go out for a ride,
[424]and she would then find that AHFAUNA-1 was going out to have agent
[425]seetings and wanted her along for cover, ABAD asked whom AMFAUNA-1 had
[426]been meeting. AMFAUNA-14 mentioned. a person known as "Gustavo" and :

[440]gave the physical description of AMFAUNA-24, whom ehe knew to be safely - | -
[441]out of Cuba. (She nevor knew AMFAUNA-24's true name.) She also mentioned
[442]Manolo *VILLAMANAN, the true name of AMFAUNA-13 (whom she: had. known
[444]Only as ANFAUNA-1's business partner but when she thought she :could .
[445]gafoly mention now that he was out of Cuba.) For good measure she added
[447]@ notional name and physical description. SO
[449]21. Referring back to AMFAUNA-1'e automobile, ABAD asked what
[450]kind of a car he had driven, AMFAUNA-14 replied that it was a gray
[451]Chevrolet Impala. She repeated that ANFAUNA-1 had formerly parked it
[452]near her office, but said that she had not ssen it recently. ABAD
[453]apked where AMFAUNA-1's red car was, and she said she did not know, He
[454]asked what the license number on this car was, and she said she did not
[455]Brow, He never asked anything about the third car which AMFAUNA-1 had .
[457]obtained.
[459]22. ABAD commented that the DSE had observed AMFAUNA-1 in his
[460]automobile in the Havana dock area on 1 January 1963, having a meeting
[461]with another person. (AMFAUNA-14 recalls that this other person was
[462]ANPAUNA-24, and that he and AMFUANA-1 had rendezvoused in the dock area ~
[463]after an attempt to pick up AMFAUNA-1's radio.
[465]$3. With reference to the KUBARK agent known as "Julio", whom
[466]they had recently identified with AMFAUNA-1, ABAD said that he knew
[467]that "Julio" had left Cuba in October 1962 and believed that he had
[468]gone to Rurope, but he said he did not know whether "Julio" had gone
[469]Clandestinely or legally. ;

[476]dng with AMFAUNA-1. (AHMFAUNA-14 does not remember the name of this
[478]percon., )

[486]28. ABAD again turned to the envelope of papers found in AMFAUNA~14
[487]apartment, and maid he could see she was not cooperating with him. She
[488]was not volunteering information, he said, but waiting to be asked
[489]questions. ABAD said he was sure that there waa much that AMPAUNA-14-
[490]could tell him spontaneously, and he intimated that there might be a-
[491]chance for her to rehabilitate herself.
[493]$7. ABAD asked her where the passenger lista came from. AMFAUNA-14
[494]wepliod that they had been left in her apartment by AHFAUNA-1, who.
[495]intended to instruct her later by SW what to do with them. She said

[510]1400 hours that same day, ANFAUNA-14 had had a meeting with AMPAUNA-39, _
[511]the first in two weeks, initiated by AMFAUNA-39 by means of a telephone
[512]call to AMFAUNA-1's mother. who was serving as cutout between then.
[513]AMNVAINA-38 had called the meeting to ask whether she had received any

[537]surprised AMFAUNA-14 because she had thought they had been found during
[538]her house search and wore part of the incriminating envelope which ABAD
[539]was holding. AHFAUNA-14 told ABAD where to look for the materials, and
[540]he gent somebody to get then,

[548]were to get their instruction on the street once they had left her apart-

[591]he wanted to know, was ANCOG-3 doing. AMFAUNA-14 said that she di
[592]think he was doing anything clandestine. ABAD replied that the DSE

[624]asked whether AMFAUNA-14 had been a good friend of AMFAUNA-3, and she
[625]@aid that she had been. ABAD asked wheather AMFAUNA-14 had ever heard .
[626]AMPAUNA-3 speak about the Escambray insurgents, AMFAUNA-14 said that - mo)
[627]she had not. ABAD asked whether AMFAUNA-3 had had contacts with any :
[628]embassy people, for example the Spanish Embazsy. AMFAUNA-14 said that
[630]she did not know of any such contacts. .
[632]37. “How abcut ANCUTLER-23?" askec ABAD. "Wa know that she spends
[633]® lot of time there," AMFAUNA-14 said she did rot know,
[635]38. ABAD asked AMFAUNA-14 if she were a revolutionary. AMFAUNA-~14
[636]said that she was not, but that neither was she against the revolution.
[637]She said that she had joined the militia early in the revolution, but
[638]had soop dropped out because there were some things about the revolution
[639]which she did not understand. For instance, she could not understand
[640]why thore should be so many shortages and rationing, whereas before the
[641]revolution there had been plenty. ABAD exp)sined that the shortages wer
[642]the result of the imperialist blockade of Cvba., AMFAUNA-14 seid that
[643]ehe could understand thie, but that it did not explain why there should |
[644]be a shortage of coffee when Cuba grew its own, ABAD said that coffee
[645]was in short supply because Cuba was sending coffee to the Soviet Union
[646]in gratitude for Soviet assistance in overcoming shortages caused by the
[647]imperialist blockade, §AMFAUNA-14 replied that this was very logical
[648]now that it had been explained to her, and said she wondered why the
[649]revolutionary government did not publicly say so in order to put an end
[650]to public grumbling on the subject. : 4
[652]39, -Barly in the morning of 9 October, ABAD produced the letter ™ .
[653]which AMPAUNA-14 received from AMFAUNA-1 on 7 October and held up the
[654]letter to the light, examining it carefully for traces of SW. AMFAUNA-

[657]ahe was unable to get a good look at. All were very surprised and

[659]@he were sure she was doing it right, and began intimating that she was”
[660]deceiving them. (Station Comment; It is indeed surprising that no :
[661]secret writing appeared, because this letter was almost” undoubtedly the.
[662]one containing SW meseage no, 1 to AMFAUNA-14,) . 4
[664]40. ANFAUNA-14 also explained the use of her carbons, The only
[665]accommodation address she gave away was AMFAJNA-l's JMWAVE area post
[666]office box. She deliberately protected the (Rosa JUSTIZ hddress (the
[667]home of ANPAN~2), not knowing whether this waa a re a fictitious
[668]person. ba 2 24 °
[670]41. “Carlos" and ABAD now invited AMFAUNA-14 to work with them, She
[671]replied that ashe might be willing to do go, but first wanted to know
[672]what work would be expected of her, For instance, she said, she would
[673]not inform on people in her office. They told her that this would not
[674]be agkedof her, because that sort of work is done by the Defense
[675]Committees. Her work, they said, would be much more important, namely
[676]paintaining a link between themselves and KUBARK, She aaid that would
[677]be all right, but she was afraid that it would not last long because —
[678]KUBARE would probably put her on ice as soon as they learned that she
[679]had been arrested. They told her not to worry about that. . .
[681]42. -“Carlos" and ABAD suggested to her that AMFAUNA-1 had briefed
[682]her to agree to cooperate with them. She denied this, claiming that she
[683]had not really wanted to work with ANMFAUNA~1 at all, but had merely let:
[684]herself be imposed on for old times sake. They asked whether they
[685]could trust her. She said she thought sco, and asked whether she could
[686]trust them to ksep their promises, They assured her that she could,
[687]and said ehe would be released the following day. ;
[689]43. In the morning of 10 October, after: beiiig. tod that she was ip
[691]be released, AHPAUNA-14 was moved to a smaller cell without a bath. She:
[692]sent for ABAD and complained ‘that he- had double-crossed her. He told —
[695]14-00000
[697]ITN Saale Scala ae SE
[699]al
[701]her that he was going to keep his word and release her, but that her
[703]original cell was needed for some new prisoners who were expected. He
[705]said that the DSE had received advance word that a boatload of refugees
[707]were going to try to leave Cuba that night. Many of them were women,
[708]tae one of there was pregnant, so he wanted the larger cell with bath
[709]or then,
[711]44. ABAD nilwayes trented AMFAUNA-14 kindly and considerately,
[712]When she had a headache, he ordered aspirin fcr her. Heéysaw to it that
[713]she received soft drinks when she wented them, and he seemed to be
[714]honestly distressed whenever she wert. AKIAUNA-14 believes that it had
[715]been the DSE's intention from the very beginning to recruit her, be-
[716]eauge she doubts that all DSE prisoners are treated as well.
[718]48. The first S¥ message which AMFAUNA-14 wrote while under DSE
[719]control was dated 10 October, the day of her release. The DSE officers
[720]asked her what her control signal. was, and she replied that it was a
[721]rubrio, but also included her true control signal. She deliberately
[722]nusbered her firet controlled SW message no, 2, to conceal the fact
[723]that she had already written several messages containing intelligence
[724]reports. ;
[726]48. In 211 she wrote three SW messages. under control, She was ;
[727]obliged to write each one in duplicate, one “of which was mailed and the
[728]other given to the DSE for study.. One day "Carlos" came to her very
[729]angrily, said he doubted that her carbons were anything more than
[731]> L ordinary paper because he had been unable to develop anything | that she _

[739]tried to develop the letters she had written with the pills he had
[740]‘taken-from her, it would not work. This surprised "Carlos," and
[741]‘AMPAURA-14 explained that there were two different SW syatens, one for .
[742]| outgoing mail and the other for incoming. "Carlos" then asked her if .
[743]’ there were any significance to the size of envelope used, or to the ways
[745]the letter paper was folded, AMFAUNA-14 said she did not think so.
[747]_AMPAUNA-14 feels that "Carlos" and ABAD never completely believed that ©
[749]“fe she had an SW system, because none of the letters which she received
[751]@isclosed 8W when developed, and none of the letters which she wrote
[752]showed any traces of &W when held up to glancing light.
[754]47. "Cariog" was the DSE officer who maintained contact with
[755]AMPAUNA-14 after her release, For two or three weeks he saw her every
[757]' day at her apartment, sometimes for only twenty minutes, and sometimes
[759]ataying for several hours, frequently late at night. Occasionally he
[760]called her at her office. Finally AMFAUNA-14 told him that she had to
[761]get up early in the morning to go to work, and asked him to visit her
[763]‘eariy in the evening, which he agresd to do. At.the time of the in-
[764]' tercepted ANGLOSSY landing in Pinar del Rio, "Carlos" did not visit
[765]“ANPAUNA-14 for five days. When he finally returned, he was dirty,
[767]aweaty and tired, He dictated an SW letter he wanted AMFAUNA-14 to
[769]-gend to KUBARK, and while she was writing it he fell asleep.
[771]-  “@8, AMFAUNA-14 had to prepare written reports for him, which she’
[772]:"pigned. with the pseudonym "Dolores." He told her never to call him at
[773]‘DBE feadquartere, because he was never there. Once he brought her a
[774]book on Marxism to read, and promised to take her someday to visit a
[775]collective farm in Pinar del Rio Province,
[777]49. Despite his occasional efforts to get her to pick up the thread.
[779]of the AMFAUNA net, AMPAUNA-14 believes that the primary target she was
[781]. intended to work against. was the AMCOG household. From remarks made by
[783]both ABAD and "Carlos", she deduced that they already had an informer
[784]in the house, but that they were not satisfied with his production, .
[785]Toward the end of her period of DSB -controlled activity,.-she felt that
[786]_ the DSE was becoming relatively less interested in AMFAUNA>] and his ~

[1330]Las Villas, AMFAUNA-14 said she would try, but thought it would be-
[1331]@ifficult. This was the last time she saw "Carlos, He telephoned her
[1332]again on 16 November to ask what was new, and this was their last 4
[1333]telephone contact.
[1335]72. When AMFAUNA-14 arrived at AMCOG-3's house at about 2000 hours
[1336]on 15 November 1963 ror the regular Friday night supper, he took her
[1337]aside and said he wanted to speak to her privately later, At about
[1338]4330 hours she went to his room, There he told her that he had received
[1339]orders that she was to leave Cuba the following week. He said that .
[1340]precise instructions were to come on 16 and 17 November, so he made a
[1341]lunch date with her for Sunday noon at his house.
[1343]73. AMFAUNA-14 was frightened by this. She did not ‘sleep well
[1344]Priday or Saturday nights, and spent Saturday in her home.
[1346]74. Sunday afternoon in AMCOG-3's house, AMCOG-3 told her that she
[1347]waa to leave the following day, She said that she did not want to,
[1348]AMCOG-3 reeponded that this was an order. He said that the DSE would
[1349]probably arrest her again soon, and for her own safety and that of other
[1350]she must leave. He added that there were others who were to leave too,
[1351]whose departure had been made conditional upon her own, . Lo,
[1353]75, AMFAUNA-14 asked whether AMCUTLER-2 were one of these other
[1354]people who were to leave too, and AMCOG-3 replied that she was, AMFAUNA
[1355]14 told him that she thought AMCUTLER-2 would not agree to leave, AMC
[1356]said that he thought she would because the orders had been couched in
[1357]very strong terns,
[1359]76. He then showed her the instructions, both for herself and for
[1360]AMCUTLER-2. He. had her type her instructions on a piece of paper, and
[1361]then memorize them, wernal
[1363]77, Then AMCOG-3 gave AMFAUNA-14 the following verbal. messages ° to °
[1364]deliver when she reached JMWAVE: . .

[1394]been instructed, and atuffed a pair of slacks and sneakers into the

[1398]instructions, waiting for AMCUTLER-2 not five minutes but fifteen. She
[1399]then walked very slowly toward Calzada Luyano, hoping that AMCUTLER-2
[1400]might overtake her. This consumed another ten minutes, and by the time 3
[1401]she reached the Calzada Luyano it was too iate for. her to walk the re- |. ;
[1402]mainder of the distance, so she took a taxi. : ‘
[1404]79, AMFAUNA-14 discharged the taxi one block before thePargque de

[1406]sbrine where she prayed for a few minutes, and then sat on a bench
[1407]from which she could see the whole park.

[1410]driver stayed in the car, and two men ~ a colored man and a fatr-haired

[1412]approached her and gave the challenge, to which she gave the correct
[1413]response, One of the men then said simply "Follow me", They took her : Co
[1414]back to the taxi and put her in the back seat with one of the men, the. . ee
[1415]other two riding in front. . :
[1417]81. . They headed out of the city. When the reached the Carretera
[1418]de Varadero, one of the men asked her politely if she would mind keepin
[1419]her eyes directed down toward the floor and not look out the window. |
[1420]She rode this way for about two hours. By then it was dark, and she wa
[1421]told she could look up again, She took advantage of the opportunity to
[1422]change into her slacks and sneakers.
[1424]82, Finally the car stopped, and she and her two escorts got out; 7 t
[1425]They walked a long time. At one point, whistle signals were exchanged |. “4

[1447]over it to form a camouflage cover, There they went to sleep.

[1450]radio message was received during the day. At night the boat put out
[1451]for Cayo Megano, The waves were enormous, and. AMFAUNA-14 was terribly
[1452]seasick. The boat remained at the rendezvous point until 1045 hours, -~
[1453]with AHPAUNA-14 pleading for the crew to return to land, saying she
[1454]would rather be shot than remain so seasick. Finally the crew did put

[1503]pickup in the park was done excellently. The slight delay while they
[1504]looked her over, she says, was due to the fact that the men had ex-
[1505]pected another woman to be with her, and they were waiting a few minute
[1506]din case the other woman should show up. The AMHICK. team said that the
[1507]had also boen briefed that she would be wearing her hair in a bun.
[1508]She had not been briefed accordingly, and she was wearing her hair
[1509]down her back in & pony tail. This discrepancy did not cause any con-
[1510]fusion, because every other item of the visual recognition signals 2
[1511]tallied perfectly, and the AMHICK team were well briefed on all of thei
[1513]@2, AMFAUNA-14 was impressed by the precise timing of the team's
[1514]movements, by the fact that everybody was whsre he was supposed to be
[1515]at the time indicated, She expressed admiration for their seamanship,
[1516]and their ability to pick out one spot of mangrove from another in
[1517]the pitch darkness.
[1519]93. She says that, during these trying days, the team members were
[1520]always in calm control of the situation, and never failing in their
[1521]courtesy to her.
[1523]@4. Regarding AMCUTLER~2, AMFAUNA-14 is sure that the exfiltration
[1524]- dnetructions reached her. They were taken, she said, by Lolita FORHOS
[1525]who had been standing by for them from Friday to Sunday. What Lolita
[1526]did with them, AMPAUNA-14 does not know, She knows that we had
[1527]suggested that Lolita take them to AMFAUNA-1's mother, but she also
[1528]knows that we had indicated to AHCOG-3 that AMPAUNA-1's mother might
[1529]be under surveillance, so she thinks Lolita might have taken them
[1530]directly to AMCUTLER-2. In any case, she knows that messages sent
[1531]proviously by AMCOG~3 to AMCUTLER-2 reached the latter, and she sees
[1532]no reason to assume. that these instructions did not.
[1533]95.. It does not surprise AMFAUNA~14 that AMCUTLER-2 did not follow
[1534]the, orders, .ANCUTLER-2, she says, plays her own game with little: con-
[1535]4deration for others, Between the time that AMFAUNA-1 left Cuba on

[1547]AMPAUNA-14 had asked her to remove the suitcase that AMFAUNA-i had ieft
[1548]behind, but on both occasions AMCUTLER-2 had found some excuse not to
[1549]do so; When AMFAUNA-14 visited AMCUTLER-2 in her home in, Guanabacoa
[1550]on 3 November for the purpose of coordinating their cover stories,
[1551]AMCUTLER-2 did not seem very interested in coordinating stories or
[1552]anything else. AMFAUNA-14 believes that AMCUTLER-2 may be working for

[1554]‘very close friend Lolin *CORREOSO is the fiancee of.Hipolito ARRAURT ft
[1555]who was a collector for this organization. Among other reasgns

[1561]Besides the dangers of the trip, she would be leaving her mother and
[1562]father in a dangerous position, because the DSE had forced her to
[1563]Sign a confersion implicating them. While she appears to be trying not
[1564]to be overly critical of AMCUTLER-2, she has commented that AMCUTLER-2
[1565]knows far more members of the AMFAUNA net than she herself does, so
[1566]that the reasons requiring the exfiltration of AMFAUNA-14 should be
[1567]even more compelling for AMCUTLER-2
