[31]| OPERATIONAL ACTIVITY
[33]i A. Preparations vere underway in early November to
[34]dispatch AMTRUNK-13 to Hadrid in mid-November to cenent
[35]the recruitment of AKTEUNK~19. These plans fell
[37]through when the Madrid Station notified Headquarters
[38]and WAVE thet their workload would not allow sufficient
[39]Case officer time to handle AMTBUNK-13 in Madrid at this
[40]time. WAVE agreed to postpone ANTEUNK~-13's trip to
[41]Madrid several weeks until Hadrid Station's workload
[42]abated somevhat.
[44]B. The prospects of finalizing the recruitment of
[45]ANTRUKK~-19 increased however with the receipt at WAVE
[46]of another open letter from AMTRUNE-19, this one
[47]mailed from Hexico City in mid-November. In ANTRUNK-~19'g
[48]first letter, mailed from Nontreal in mid-October, he
[49]suggested using a friend in Mexico City as a cut-out to
[50]initiate a channel of communications between himself and
[51]\, tise he ba In bis second letter, AHTRUNE-~19 stated
[54]that he had made the necessary arrangements with his
[55]friend in Mexico. Although WAVE, Headquarters and VEXI
[56]traces on AMTRUNE~19's friend, IDEN A, were fragmentary,
[57]Mexico Station stated that IDEN A was well-known to one
[58]of its PBRUMEN assets who vouched for IDEN A‘s loyalties.
[59]WAVE intends to send an innocuous letter to AMTRUNK-19 in
[60]AMTRUNK-13's handwriting to keep the channel with 4-19
[61]alive. AMTRUNK-19 appears eager to see ANTRUNK~13 again
[62]and has stated in both letters that he has considerable
[63]information to discuss in detail. It is well realized
[64]that this open letter channel is far from ideal but it
[65]is hoped that in early January 1965 ANTRUNK-13 can re-
[66]contact AMTRUNK~19 and provide hia with a system of S/¥.

[109]C. ip sid-Novenber after the postponement of AMTRUNK-13's
[110]Madrid trip, preparations began to launch Operation
[111]AETRENE Yin carty Pocesber. This operation sould attexpt
[112]to re-organize the ratline to and from Havana and the
[113]AMTRUNK infil area for the future use of infiltrated
[114]MHAPRON recruiters and other agent assets ag necessary.
[115]Secondary objectives are to bring into the tufil area
[117]a cache of weapons and explosives for AMMRUNK-10/AMLASH-1
[118]and to teach a system of S/W to one or nore assets in the
[119]area. The team is to be composed of the same four individ-
[120]uala who participated in Operation ANTEUNK IX in October
[121]1964: AHAGREE-1, Team Leader; AMAKA-1, Badio Operator;
[122]and AHTRUNK-16 and -20, Cuides. It was decided to sheive
[123]the V-20 as the Intermediate Craft (IC) for this opera
[124]tion and substitute a 17' Johnson boat with twin 7S bp.
[125]outboard motors which could maneuver through shallovwer
[126]water and which could be more easily canouflaged. The
[127]basic reason for this decision was the fact that Decen-
[128]ber through February are the low-water months in the
[129]AMTRUNK operational area. During this shallow water
[130]serson, the heavier, wider V-20 can only be used in the
[131]decper and sore heavily-guarded infiltration canals.
[133]D. Through the combined efforts of AMICE-14, the AMTRUNK
[134]P/A, apd AMAGREE-1 and AMAKA-1, four radio operator
[135]candidates, to be trained for future use in P¥ Opura~
[136]tions, were recruited during the reporting period.
[138]EB. Recruiting for MIAPRON infiltration candidates con-
[139]tinued during the reporting period. One prospective
[140]Anfiltree was recruited during the month of Novenber
[142]and the case officer was active in assessing and debrief—
[143]ing two other candidates. It is Roped that by Harch 1965
[144]one or nore of these candidates will be trained and pre-
[145]pared for infiltration for clandestine MiAPRON recruit-
[146]ing. In large measure this will depend upon the success
[147]of Operation ANTRUXK X in re~organizing the ratline to
[148]and from Havana.
[150]F. S/¥ Hessage No. 13 was sent to AMTRUNK-11 in response
[151]to his Nessage No. 15 in which he stated that both OWVL
[152]receivers were now in his possession. WAVE Message No.
[153]13 to AMTEUNE-11 gave directions for the disposition of
[154]the OWVL receivers and the activation of OWL contact
[155]with both AMTRUNK-11 and AMTRUNK-10.
