[64]. sible indictment by the U. 6. Aftorney in of Rolando
[66]e
[68]x from Flerida against President Duvalier . Racked for a
[69]eS report on eur knowledge of, oF involvement in.this activity.
[73]Ae you know, we have installations in the Miami ares
[74]_ which utilize a variety af sensitive covers. - The Chlef of Station’
[75]coordinates his activizies closely with the Federal Bureau of
[76]the iamigratico and Nateralisation Service, and
[77]the Euress of Customs ef the Department of the Treasury and

[124]nothing more positive he can take the aoproach that he considered
[125]the U. S. Goverr.:nent tacitly approved his plot since it obviousiy
[127]* know shout it und did not take any action against him.
[129]For the recoréd, it can be flatly stated that neither by
[131]statement nor by implication has toe Central Intelligence Agency
[133]dadicated te anyone trat it approved or was supporting the plot.
[135]On the contrary, those who queried people they knew were con-
[136]mected with our Agincy concerning possible participezica in tho
[137]pict were told that it had no U. &. Governmont backing whatsorver.
[138]Seme of the plotters attempted te contact this Agency throagh
[139]verteus intermediaries, and the intermediaries were told that the
[140]Agency wished to have nothing to do with the undertaking and that
[142]‘any inferraation coicerning violations of U. S. laws should be
[143] paesed to law-enforcement agencies, perticularly the Buresa of
[144]' Custeme aad the Federal Buress of investigation. Technically,
[146]therefore, tac Agency hae stayeé clear of the plotters, and we
[148]. weld ve in a positicn to state that we-nad no connectias with the
[150]plot aad had given it a0 encouragement or backing of any sort.
[152]As & practice! matter, however, if prosecution were
[153]Mascerrer, and perhaps other defendants. would prebebly
[155]: . Claim that they hed CLA becking 2nd seme might even belicve it to
[157]be true. This might well lead one er more defandants to seek
[158]& subpoens duces tecum for an Ageaty witness and the Agency
[160]> documentation on the subject. As soted above, the witnese can
[161]‘: testify 6 the fact that the Agency had in no way participated oF
[163]encouraged the activity. If it proved impossible te quash the
[164]weoquizement for production of cocuments, however, we would be
[165]faced with a eltuation where ww would almost certainly bare te
[166]eloi the documents were privileged oa the grounce ef security.
[167]Aside from the sexsltivity of tae resorte and theiz possible
[168]compromise ef sources, we would have the problem ef identification
[169]of our personnel under cover and of protecting the sensitive Cover
[170]arresgements.
[172]The same is true to a leceer extent of action aguinst
[173]Meelerres la coanoctios with vicistions of his sarcls. ts view
[174]of the flagreat and namerous viciations which wore sctetiily

[1206]ities of folando Masferrer was continuing and that he oce2-
[1207]sionally talked with Masferrer.-by telephone or in person.

[1304]journalist Lee J. Lockwood (201-78771), and discussion of

[1368]8. Specific items of svsiness concluded, we moved into
[1370]& general and historical discussion of the Cuban Mission to sO ;
[1371]:. the UN, which was the main purpese of Millian'’s attendance :
[1372]- at the meeting. Recent cnanges in Miss.or personnel, includ- oo gE
[1374]ing the assignuent of Ricardo Alarc6m Quesada (201-3475$0) me ba.
[1375]1 @8 Aubassador, were discussed and itineraries of Cubans ar= ae
[1376]: Piving for the Ceneral Assembly were ncted, Eariy in the - en
[1377]. conversation, G'Brien surfaced his long tern contact with .
[1378]Cuban UN Advisor and Alternate R2presentative Antonio de Souza
[1379]‘- Carvajal (201-354048), a friend of Cutan Foreign Minister
[1381]“RaGl Roa, who has served the Cubans in New York for the past
[1382]ten years or more and has been with the Cuban Foreign Ser-
[1383]wice for 40 years. The Souza subject was not new to me, since
[1384]O'Brien had brought it up in conversations I had with him
[1385]earlier this year. I did not choose to pursue the subject
[1386]with hin at that tine, however, without first Teviewing all
[1387]implications of the case with Agency officials in Washington,
[1388]O'Brien indicated no interest in Miguel Juan Alfonso Martinez

[1397]9. O'Brien's eagerness to discuss the Souza Batter a.
[1399]seeus to inply that he is deeply interested in it and may
[1401]: suggest that he is not satisfied with results thus far ob-
[1403]: tained. At one noint he indicated that his headquarters was
[1405]/ Rot at all happy with the take from Souza. He reviewed the
[1407]' history of the contact with complete candor beginning with
[1409]- bis initial contacts with Souza in the sid/tate 195€'s when
[1411]| O'Brien had open access to the Crban Mission in Sew York
[1412]| and was a frequent visitor there. From his description, Souza
[1414]‘ would appear to tbe a thoroughly experienced and skilled .
[1416]. dipionat who has survived the numcrous changes in the Cuban
[1417]overnnent because of his friendship with Roa and other in-
[1419]luential Cubans, and because of his ability to implenent.
[1421], @££ectively for the Cubans the more subtle diplomatic maneu-
[1423], Vers required by meabership in the UN community, In fact,
[1425]’ O'Brien feels that the Cubans utilize Souza exclusively on
[1427]; these latter duties and tend to exclude him fros high level
[1428]matters involving golitical, military, or econozic policy.

[1448]This, according to O'Brien, accounts for Souza‘'s inability
[1449]to provide information of real value. O'Brieu did indicate,
[1450]however, that the usual P.I. requirements had no punch, He
[1451]cited, for example, the requirements after Souza'’s return
[1452]from Hawaii, which in effect amounted to: What's new?
[1454]a 10. Despite the long history of the Souza contact, -
[1455];  .°7* @fBrien is not now meeting with Souza in person. Souza feels
[1456]to, -., that O'Brien is too well known in the Cuban commnity in
[1458]New York and even the most elaborate contact arrangements
[1459]would not be free of danger, Souza also shys away from talke
[1460]ing on his home phone for fear that it may be tapped. O'Brien
[1461]can, however, telephone Souza and lay on alternates telephone
[1462]oz even meeting arrangements. We did not establish the fre-
[1463]quency of G'Brien'’s current contacts with Souza nor did wé
[1464]establish at what point in the history of the contact the
[1465]- decision was made to dispense with personal meetings; the. ~~
[1466]nature of our meeting with O'Brien did not permit elaborate
[1467]and detailed questioning. He did recount, however, an in= _
[1468]teresting aspect of tne case which followed from the fact -
[1469]_ that a State Department security officer assigned to New York,
[1470]fnu), Swazev, occupied the apartment directly above Souza
[1472]ring his tour in New York and became quite friendly with
[1473]. Souza. O'Brien apparently used Swazey as an informal go-
[1475]~ petweer, on the case. (Should we choose to pursue the Souza
[1476]lead, an attespt perhaps should be made to locate and debrief
[1477]Swazey with O'Brien's concurrence, Note: This could be |
[1478]Anthony Clinton Swezey, DOB 9 August 1913, who was Special
[1479]:, Assistant to Secretary General of U.S. Mission to UN 1946 to
[1481]> 1947, In 1963 he was First Secretary, FS0-2, in Paris.)
[1483]41. It ts difficult at this point to identify with ac-
[1484]curacy the true nature of O’Briesi’s tie with Souza, Based
[1485]tpon O'Brien's comments, it does not appear that Souza sheuld
[1486]. be classified as an "agent" of the Bureau in the classical ~
[1488]. sense, particularly at this point when there apparently are
[1489]'. g0 formal arrangements for contact, no resuneration or even
[1490]instructions given, and apparently no reports received fron |
[1491]Souzs. It is probable that a critical point im this epera-
[1492]thon was reached about three years ago when, according to
[1493]O'Brien, Souza talked about his advancing age (now 65), his
[1494]Fetirement equities with the Cuban zovernzent, and his fi-§
[1495]nancial needs in general. O'Brien thought that Souza was
[1496]looking for guarantees which would provide for kis future
[1497]should he choose to cooperate fully and ultimately be sur-
[1499], faced and forced to forego his retiresent and remain in the
[1500]U.S. O'Brien apparently presented Souza's case to his supe-
[1501]giors but was unable to generate any substantial enthusiasn.
[1502]He stated they were not willing to give Souza 2 stipend, The
[1504]a Oe
[1507]14-0000
[1513]Bureau’s position, both then and now, apparently is that
[1515]Souza has little potential as an asset for internal security
[1517]matters and therefore would not justify any substantial fie
[1519]nancial obligatisn. In very low key, it was made clear to : j
[1521]O’Brien that the Agency was interested in Souza'’s Positive . ;
[1523]Intelligence potential (his access in Havana should be good,
[1525]-. given his long friendship with Roa and his closeness to
[1527]- Marfa Celia Girona Fernfndez (201-327421), cousin of Celia coe,
[1528]SSnchez Manduley) and well might find justification for pro- « . ’
[1530]viding modest. security for Souza's old age. ; ‘ : :
[1532]12, Throughout our conversation it appeared clear that
[1534]O*Brien was of the opinion that there may be a role for the
[1535]. Agency in the Souza operation, We asked nim, therefore,
[1536]: whether or not he felt. Souza may still be interested in feath-
[1537]ering his nest and,.if so, if it would be bureaucratically
[1538]possible to get word to Souza that stich a possibility existed.
[1539]O'Brien felt that Souza. would still.be interested and he
[1540]‘was of the opinion that he could get the point across to
[1541]Souza via double talk in a telephone conversation. This ap-
[1542]- proach was accepted and it was agreed that O’Brien would ad-
[1544], Vise us of the results after the call was made, If prospects
[1545]appeared encouraging. it was agreed that we would then get
[1546]together again to discuss the next step which might entail ce,
[1547]arranging direct contact with Souza. O'Brien noted that. Let
