# SECRET UFGA-12894had been involved somehow with her sister who lives in Florida. ABADasked whether AMFAUNA-14 had been a good friend of AMFAUNA-3, and shesaid that she had been. ABAD asked whether AMFAUNA-14 had ever heardAMFAUNA-3 speak about the Escambray insurgents. AMFAUNA-14 said thatshe had not. ABAD asked whether AMFAUNA-3 had had contacts with anyembassy people, for example the Spanish Embassy. ANFAUNA-14 said thatshe did not know of any such contacts.37. "How about AMCUTLER-37" asked ABAD. "We know that she spends    a lot of time there." AMFAUNA-14 said she did not know.38. ABAD asked AMFAUNA-14 if she were a revolutionary. AMFAUNA-14    said that she was not, but that neither was the against the revolution.    She said that she had joined the militia early in the revolution, but    had soon dropped out because there were some things about the revolution    which she did not understand. For instance, she could not understand    why there should be so many shortages and rationing, whereas before the    revolution there had been plenty. ABAD explained that the shortages were    the result of the imperialist blockade of Cuba. AMFAUNA-14 said that    she could understand this, but that it did not explain why there should    be a shortage of coffee when Cuba grew its own. ABAD said that coffee    was in short supply because Cuba was sending coffee to the Soviet Union    in gratitude for Soviet assistance in overcoming shortages caused by the    imperialist blockade. AMFAUNA-14 replied that this was very logical    now that it had been explained to her, and said she wondered why the    revolutionary government did not publicly say so in order to put an end    to public grumbling on the subject.39. Early in the morning of 9 October, ABAD produced the letter    which AMFAUNA-14 received from AMFAUNA-1 on 7 October and held up the    letter to the light, examining it carefully for traces of SW. AMFAUNA-    14's developer pills were brought, and she was told to develop the letter    which she did in the presence of ABAD, "Carlos," and a third man whom    she was unable to get a good look at. All were very surprised and    disappointed when no secret writing appeared. They kept asking her if    she were sure she was doing it right, and began intimating that she was    deceiving them. (Station Comment: It is indeed surprising that no    secret writing appeared, because this letter was almost undoubtedly the    one containing SW message no. 1 to AMFAUNA-14.)40. AMFAUNA-14 also explained the use of her carbons. The only    accommodation address she gave away was AMFAUNA-1's JMWAVE area post    office box. She deliberately protected the (Rosa JUSTIZ address. (the    home of AMPAN-2), not knowing whether this was a real or a fictitious    person.41. "Carlos" and ABAD now invited AMFAUNA-14 to work with them. She    replied that she might be willing to do so, but first wanted to know    what work would be expected of her. For instance, she said, she would    not inform on people in her office. They told her that this would not    be asked of her, because that sort of work is done by the Defense    Committees. Her work, they said, would be much more important, namely    maintaining a link between themselves and KUBARK. She said that would    be all right, but she was afraid that it would not last long because    KUBARK would probably put her on ice as soon as they learned that she    had been arrested. They told her not to worry about that.42. "Carlos" and ABAD suggested to her that AMFAUNA-1 had briefed    her to agree to cooperate with them. She denied this, claiming that she    had not really wanted to work with ANFAUNA-1 at all, but had merely let    herself be imposed on for old times sake. They asked whether they    could trust her. She said she thought so, and asked whether she could    trust them to keep their promises. They assured her that she could,    and said she would be released the following day.43. In the morning of 10 October, after being told that she was to    be released, AMPAUNA-14 was moved to a smaller cell without a bath. She    sont for ABAD and complained that he had double-crossed her. He told
