[90]- % Insrecruitin sub-agents, AMFAUNA-1 relies primarily on his
[91]own judgment and intultion. If he approves of a person, he will
[92]recruit him. “However, he has shown himself to be very cautious in
[93]granting his approval. He has reported two persons whom he does not. -|
[94]completely trust because, while otherwise well qualified, they drink.
[95]tco much and are indiscreet. For two other examples , AMBOA-1 and
[96]| LITAUSS approached him separately and revealed their relationship with |
[97]' KUBARK, hoping to collaborate.with hims AMFAUNA-1 treated them both ae
[98]1 with reserve while he checked them out with JMWAVE.' He has submitted.
[99]the names of other contacts for checking. In the case of AMFAUNA-4 A at:
[100]‘whom he recruited without prior checking because time did not permit
[101]it, he put his misgivings in'writing: "Right away AMFAUNA-1 arranged
[102]for a personal interview, taking utmost precautions , since we have .
[103]- had sad previous experiences with members of CASTRO's armed forces." f
[105].
[107]8. Once he has recruited a sub-agent, AMFAUNA=1 manages to keep i
[108]an independent eye on the former's security. On more than one occasion
[109]-he has reported that one of his sub-agents is under G-2 surveillance,
[110]and that for the time being he is staying away from hin,
[112]‘9.° In general AMFAUNA-1 seems to trust in the efficiency of his
[114]security precautions. On 25 February 1962 he reported that Identity

[121]AMFAUNAS 7 through 13, may be in error on this point. It would be
[122]more in keeping with AMFAUNA-1's known modus operandi for him to have
[123]cutouts between himself and these sub-agents, * If there is a cutout or
[124]i; cutouts here, their identity is not yet known. There may also be an
[125]f unreported cutout between AMFAUNA-1 and AMFAUNA-4.

[128]women. Two of his support agents, including his mail drop, are also - a

[253]b. AMFAUNA=3: AMFAUNA-l's first mention of her
[254]is in his S7Wimasedge No. 127 dated & May 1962. She has
[255]provided information on (military hospitala?tand has a
[256]trusted contact (Identity 7) in the G-2)24She also was
[257]AMFAUNA=1's cutout to Identity-12, who was a( Havana
[258]contact) of the(guerriiia leader Oswaldo RAMIREZ)24In
[259]early June 1962 she was approached by Identity-8 who
[260]claimed to be the new contact to the (RAMIREZ)organization.
[261](See also paragraph 58 below.) On 15%March 1962 AMFAUNA-3
[262]was traced by ODIBEX who proposed to use her in their
[263]Operation CASINO. A negative trace reply was given at that
[264]time. Headquarters is requested to ascertain whether ODIBEX
[265]has a valid prior claim on this agent.
[269]Ce ANFAUNA-4) He is a high-ranking Cuban Army officer
[270]who has provided AMFAUNA-1 with documintary information which
[271]ought to be of some value, although JiWAVE has not yet seen
[272]it, it having gone to Headquarters via (Madrid) through the
[273]channel described in paragraph 11 above(52He “also claims to
[274]be receiving information from Identity-9 and Identity~-10.
[276]_AMPAUNA-1 was introduced to AMFAUNA-4) by AMCOG-2 who in turn
[278]was introduced to him by Identity-13.0l For a further
[279]discussion of thia matter, see paragraph 56 below.
[281]d, AMBOAs1: The origin of AMFAUNA-1's contact with
[283]' this agent, who has also been recruited independently by
[285]JMWAVE, is uncertain. He first mentioned her in October 6
[286]1961 as his cutout to Identity-14,fa Cubana Airlines pilot)
[287]who had formerly been a contact of “AMCUSP-1 and who subsequent-
[288]ly defected. AMFAUNA-1i's last mention of her was on 15 .
[289]November when he reported that she had given him a map show-
[290]ing artillery installations on the south coast of Las Villas,
[291]It is possible that AMFAUNA-1 has broken contact with her,
[293]but since he has not reported having done so it is considered
[294]more Sune" that she reinains his cutout to(two Cubana Airlines
[296]' pilots\who are known to be still reporting*>
[298]‘former (naval officer) who had been an agent of AMFAUNA-1 as
[300](1) AMFAUNA-18: He was recruited in March 1962,
[301]and has provided AMFAUNA-1 with(passenger lists) 24
[302]and the (location of artillery emplacements) w ich
[303]he has (spotted from his aircraft). yt is rot known
[304]how AMFAUNA~1 first met AMFAUNA=18, and it is
[305]possible that AMFAUNA-1 meets directly with him,
[307]It is only surmised that AMBOA-1,is his cutout to
[308]him,
[310]£2) AMFAUNA-19: He was recruited at the same
[311]time as AMPAUNA-18. Althcugh AMFAUNA-1 did not
[312]explicitly say so, it can be inferred that he and
[313]AMFAUNA-18 are witting of each other's recruitment.

[482]20, (It is evident from his S/W messages that AMFAUNA-1 derives
[483]great personal satisfaction from his work against the CASTRO regime.
[484]His connection with KUBARK provides him with the means to do this work.
[485]This is believed to be a strong element of control. There have heen
[486]many opportunities to test this control, by ordering AMFAUNA-1 te do
[487]something or to desist from doing something else, and the control is
[488]believed to be effective.
[490]Previous History of the Operation - January to May 1961:
[492]21. AMFAUNA-1 was engaged in some form of clandestine work against
[493]the CASTRO regime as early as( December 196904 As with so much else in
[494]this operation, details are lacking, but it is known that he already
[495]hed an understanding with Identity-29 whom he had known for twenty

[667]began collaborating with AMBOA-i. The origin of this collaboration is ©
[668]not known, but it appears that the initiative was taken by AMBOA-1.
[669]AMFAUNA-1 reported that she had revealed to him the fact that she has
[670]a channel of $/W communication, to KUBARK, and that she had claimed to
[671]be a friend of the widow of AMCUSP-1)°l AMFAUNA-1 asked JMWAVE to

[882]reports disseminated since January 1561. The figure is at least fifty,
[883]and is believed to be nearer one hunired, if the present frequency. of
[884]dissemination can be a criterion. I content they have leaned
[885]heaviiy toward the activities of insurgent groups, militia movemants,

[888]being encouraged by JMWAVE, Evaluations of his production are lacking.
[890]cTIONY
[892]REPROD
[894]. Security Analysis:
[896]49, The possibility that AMFAUNA~-1 is a double agent is censider-
[897]ed remote. His successful LCFLUTTER, the fact (or what is believed te
[898]be the fact) that his close friend and fellow agent AMCUSP-l)was
[899]executed, and AMFAUNA-1l's ow: character and background, allofargue
[901]ane ana a RN em rn mre ot
[903]run
[907]against the proposition that he was originally dispatched by the G-2.
[908]However, it must be admitted that the LCFLUTTER carflbe beaten.; Also
[909]that there is no proof, other. than the fact that adcyse-2' eh wife is
[911]in the JMWAVE area and behaving like a widow, that AMCUSP~1 was really
[912]executed. There is documentary evidence plin the formofof a letter
[913]written by a fellow prisoner to AMCUSP-1's) widow, that he was held
[915]in prison in March and April 1961. However, the person who identified

[927]50. Similarly, all that is known about AMFAUNA-1's background
[928]comes from AMFAUNA-1's own statements ambodied in his PRQ Part I. No.
[929]confirmation of this information has ever been obtained, From this
[930]point of view there is no guarantee that AMFAUNA-1 io what he claims
[931]i to be. For all the proof to the contrary available to JMWAVE, he
[932]} could as easily have been a Spanish) Communist as a mamber of the
[933]: (Spanish Falanges >4 ny
[935], $1, These points are listed for the sake of ccmpletenaga, but ©
[936]littl@limportance is attached to them. Tht known fact that (QUANTUM=52
[937]and (QUANTUM-52 consider AMFAUNA-1 reliable suggests that he at least
[938]was not a (Spanish) Communist. And an unusually extensive independent
[939]view has’! been obtained, of. AMFAUNA-1's operations through the reports
[940]and debriefingsa of eight of his egents who have either escaped to or
[941]fF are in communteation with the United States. The defection. gf wooed
[942]I: Ydentity-14, and the escape and debriefings of Identity-19, Identity-23,
[943]| Identity-26, and Identity-29, have all corcirmed parts of AMFAUNA-1's
[944]f., story. Finally, AMCOG-3 has reported by 3,W that AMCOG=2 iss in_contast
[945]i’ with AMFAUNA-1, and AMFAUNA-2's telephone conversations with AMCUTLER-1}
[946]f provide a continuing check on the safety «1d whereabouts of AMFAUNA=1.9/ |
[948]52, For the same reasons, the possibility is heavily discounted
[949]that AMFAUNA-1 has been caught and doubled by the G-2 since his arrival
[950]in Cuba. Additional indications that all is still well are the fact
[951]that he never omits the safety signal that was given him for use in his
[952]S/W, that his operational activities are consistent with his character
[953]and background, and that the reporting of his agents is consistent with
[954]their access to information. ;
[956]53. Whether AMFAUNA-1 is now in danger of being detected, and
[957]whether the G-2 could double him if they do catch him, are two F
[958]questions remaining to be considered, Taking the second question first, |
[959]it is believed that the chances of the G-2 running a successful CI :
[960]operation against KUBARK through AMFAUNA-1 are extremely slim. To be
[961]sure, the G-2 has certain weapons that(@they could use against AMFAUNA-1. |
[962]His father is already fin prison, serving a fifteen-year sentence , and
[963]his mother and two children(are still in Cuba ac potential hostages.)
[965]It is also conceivable that the G-? could use AMFAUNA~1's own interest
[966]in paramilitary operations as a lever by persuading him that KUBARK,
[967]by neglecting to support the insurgent leader Oswaldo RAMIREZ, was
[968]responsible for the latter's death and has demonstrated its indifference
[969]to the fate of the Cuban people. This would all take time, however,
[970]because AMFAUNA-1's reaction to arrest, at least initially, would of
[971]probably be an attempt tojgmulate his two heroes, AMCUSP-1) and AMRUNG~D.
[972]‘In the time that it woul@ftake the G-2 to break dowm\this resistance,
[973]UTLER-1\ would almostféertainly have learned, either through his
[974]phone*lconversations with AMFAUNA-2 0: by the interruption of the same,
[975]«hat something is wrong with AMFAUNA-1. a
[977]; ' 54, The risks that AMFAUNA-1 is now running are believed to be
[978]considerable. for one thing, at least ten persons with varying degrees
[979]of knowledge of his clandestine operations, have been held temporarily
[980]or permanently by the G-2, which is believed to be increasing in
[981]competence as a securjty force. For another, AMFAUNA-1 takes unnecessar
[982]chances, as by interrogating a new and untested agent (AMFAUNA-4) in
[984]the personal automobile of his sister-in-law, or by personally trying i
[985]to penetrate a restricted area. And for a third, he has some contacts i
[986]which can be dangerous. to him. :
[988]55. AMCOG-2 knows too much about AMFAUNA-1 for the latter's good.
[989]It is believed that AMFAUNA-1 himself is aware that this is a potential-
[990]ly serious security weakness, because he took the trouble to report it
[991](see paragraph 15al above). TMe AMCOG operation is itself a fairly
[992]complex one, and will be analyzed in a separate dispatch. The, aspects
[993]of it which peace the AMFAUNA operation are that AMCOG-2 and(mer gb a - S
[994]brother) AM¢0G-3 are (close relatives of a very prominent anti-Communistod! | SOM
[995]Cuban politician) and that they are widely known, both in Cuba and in :

[1011]prosecution for actanagainet it, is a matter for wonder. It has been
[1012]rumored that (the old*politician) has a blackmail hold over Fidel CASTRO
[1013]by virtue of ‘nia possession of ‘very damaging information about CASTRO.
[1014]There may be some substance to this rumor. As a young student estes
[1015]is baliaved to have committed criminal acts, and the (old politician
[1016]would have been in the best possible position at the ima to obtain
[1017]proof of tham. This might well explain why the family enjoys immunity
[1018]today.
[1020]56. It would seem, thovgs, that an aler™ and competent security
[1021]service, which the G-2 shows eigns of becominy, if it 18 enjoined from
[1022]arresting and prosecuting an espionage suspect, would at least try to
[1023]control and monitor his operations by penstrating them, It is there-
[1024]fore a cause for speculation that, in February 1962, an important
[1025]officer of the Cuban Army CAMFAUNA-4 9 aliegedly desirous of defecting,
[1026]waa introduced by Identity-13 to AMCOG-2, and a matter for Jeep concern
[1027]that AMCOG-2 passed the lead along to AMFAUNA~-1 who accepted it withe
[1028]out any prior checking and actually held his first meeting with the
[1029]would-be defector in an automobile traceatle to AMFAUNA~2. Since
[1030]then, it has been observed that reports avd sub-sources offered by
[1031]AMFAUNA-4 are absorbing an increasing amount of AMFAUNA=1's time. The
[1032]military manuals and |cocuments turned over by AMFAUNA-4, and sent ‘to
[1033]Headquarters via the (QUANTUMs and the Giadria Station} have not yet been
[1034]geen by JMWAVE, so it is not ‘yet known whether AMFAUNA-4's production
[1035]can be given a sufficiently high evaluation to allay the doubts raised
[1036]by the manner of his recruitment. Headquarters ig asked to advise on
[1037]this: as soon as possible, and to provide traces on AMFAUNA-&,
[1039]57. The other potentially dangerous contacts are, as might be
[1040]expected, in the field of para-military activities. In November 196} 4
[1041]AMFAUNA-1 was in touch with Identity-$2, a(nephew of Oswaldo RAMIREZ,
[1042]through Identity-51, a resident of (Cienfuegos) Identity~$2 was

[1072]“Dear Brother~-in-Arms;
[1074]"Y preet you and officially report to you, as our
[1075]representative to the Military Junta of the FND, the sad
[1076]news of the death of our commander-in-chief, Oswaldo
[1077]RAMIREZ, on 16 April last at 9 a.m. He fell in battle
[1078]together with other brothers. The certificate to this
[1079]effect, containing the testimony of Captain BORGE, chief
[1080]of the personal guard, and of other members of his escort,
[1081]is in my possession, and I will hand it over to you or to
[1082]anyone designated by the Military Junta of the FND.
[1084]"The disorganization caused by the above-mentioned
[1085]events prevented our reporting this news to you right away,
[1086]and only now have we been able to make contact with the
[1088], bearer, a man who has been working for some time as messenger
[1089],and enjoying the complete confidenge of Oswaldo RAMIREZ and

[1132]interest in AMFAUNA-3, and it may be thaf their files contain
[1134]t) gible anawere to some of the questions raised by this devalop-
[1135]ment. For instance:
[1137]a. Why did the RAMIREZ organization not know ox the y
[1138]arrest of Identity-12, one of ita own members, which had
[1139]cccurred at least a month previously?
[1141]bp. If the RAMIREZ organization was so poorly informed
[1142]about Identity-12, how did they know about AMFAUNA23, and
[1143]why did they think she would be the appropriate person to
[1144]give the letter to?
[1146]ce. Given the disorganization complained of by the
[1147]writer of the letter, and the fact that all meetings must
[1148]have been arranged and held under clandestine conditions,
[1149]how to account for the fact that in the, aximum of six
[1150]days between 28 May and 3 June when AMFAUNA-1 reported
[1151]the developments by S/W, something like the following
[1152]eequence of events must have taken place:

[1191]this complexity the support and direction it needs, when the only
[1192]communication with theS@rincipal agent is by secret writing. There
[1193]is neverglenough room in an S/W message for both the positive intelligen
[1194]reporting and the supporting operational details, and it is the latter
[1195]that suffer. $/W communication aléo inevitably irivolves a time lag
[1196]which, in the case of this operation, has sometimes run as high as

[1221]61. As a firet step toward eposding up communications, it Aa
[1222]planned to find another acoommodation address in the JMWAVE area for
[1223]AMPAUNA-1's use which can be expected to function without the delays
[1224]that have been experienced recently. Because of the importance and
[1225]urgency of some of AMFAUNA-1's intelligence reporte, consideration
[1226]is also being given to asaigning a radio oparator to him, probably
[1227]AMGLEN-9 who is awaiting only hie signal plan to become active and
[1228]who will probably not be needed in the AMWPEN net as originally
[1229]planned. ;
[1231]62. AMFAUNA-1 will be ingtructed to braak off contact with
[1232]ANCOG-2, and to cease intsreating himself 1n the affairs of the
[1233]Escambray. As for AMFAUNA-4, it is feared that AMFAUNA~1 is already
[1234]80 deaply involved with him that, if he war not a bona fide “efector,
[1235]the damage has already been done. Neverth.leses, AMFAUNA-1 will be
[1236]warnad of the potentialities of this situation so that he cau be
[1237]prepared to go into hiding if it should develop badly. Specific
[1238]military requirements will be sent to AMFAI'NA~1 for AMFAUNA-4 to
[1240]of the security of the operation, AMFAUNA-1 will be told to stop taking
[1241]porsonal and unnecessary risks such as his penetration of a reatricted
[1242]‘beach.
[1244]63, Fer the continued improvement of production, political and
[1245]| @conomic requirements will be sent to him. AMFAUNA-1 is very
[1247]informants in the political and economic areas in response to’
[1248]instructions from JMWAVE, It is believed that an increased output
[1249]of higher-priority intelligence can be expected from this operation.
