SECRET-6-e. Floreal CHOMON Mediavilla was born about 1930in Camaguey, and, according to latest KUBARK informa-tion, is presently Charge d' Affaires of the Cuban Legationin Iraq. Prior to this assignment, CHOMON was FirstSecretary with the Cuban Embassy in Morocco. Subjectdescribed CHOMON as a sensitive, slightly effeminateIndividual who is relatively disinterested in politics. Sub-ject feels that CHOMON obtained the position with theCuban foreign service by virtue of the fact that he is FaureCHOMON's brother. Subject feels that Floreal CHOMONwould also welcome an opportunity to talk with him if thefact of their meeting could be kept from the Cuban govern-ment. He speculated that any attempt to gain CHOMON'Scooperation would depend on the position Faure CHOMONhas assumed toward the Castro regime. Subject feelsthat most of Floreal CASTRO's decisions are based on theattitude and opinion of his older brother Faure. If throughletters from or conversations with his older brother, Florealhad obtained the impression that Faure was becoming dis-satisfied with the Castro regime, he probably likewisewould assume such an attitude and conceivably be receptiveto a recruitment approach.7. OPERATIONAL PROPOSALS: We are currently retracing   the individuals listed in the preceeding paragraph. Upon completion of   these traces, it is suggested that a dispatch be prepared to Mexico City   Station outlining all information on Esubio AZCUE including that supplied   by Subject. This dispatch would also outline Headquarters' interest in   perhaps using Subject in an operational approach to AZCUE. Mexico   City Station would be asked to describe the extent to which they could   support such an operation through surveillance of AZCUE, locating his   present residence and other information relative to his current activities   and political orientation. (Comment:) We discussed in principle with   the Subject whether or not he would be willing to travel to Mexico City   with a KUBARK case officer for the purpose of such an approach. Sub-   ject tentatively indicated his willingness to cooperate in such a venture   but appeared to have some reservation to the danger that might accrue   him. He pointed out that he has a wife and six children to support and   soon expects to be joined by his father and mother-in-law who are cur-   rently in Miami. We attempted to reassure Subject that very little danger![USOUP 1 Excluded from automatic declassification]SECRET

Although we cannot be certain, we feel that 1. properly presented Subject would cooperate with KUBARK in such a venture.8. The information reflected above and relating to RODRIGUEZ, BLANCO, Floraal CHOMON, and Faure CHOMON, will be made avail-abhi to SAS/11 in order to determine whether or not they may be interested in exploiting these leads. An operation involving the preparation of a letter by Subject for forwarding to Faure CHOMON would be simple to prepare but difficult to carry out in that we do not have a current home address for him. Subject indicated that he believed Faure CHOMON In 1961 lived on First Street, $105, Apt. 7, in Habana. However, we can-not be sure that this address is current. Subject indicated that perhaps (inu) San Pedro y Grillo Aving at Anunciacion 10, 6th floor, in Madrid, as od 1981, is probably the first wife or another relative of Faure CHOMON. She is allegedly the cultural attache with the Cuban Embassy in Madrid. Perhaps it would be possible to obtain CHOMON's surrent address through COS Madrid Conceivably COS Madrid could ask its liaison 15-2. with the Spanish service to place intercepts on this address and thus obtain Faure CHOMON's current home address in Habana, Assuming he is corresponding with this individual.9. MISCELLANEOUS: We were only able to obtain the names of two individuals from subject who he believed definitely to be G-2 officers. These were the individuals who accompanied Faure CHOMON when he visited Subject in May of 1961 at the Argentine En.bassy in Habana. The first of these was Carlos FIGARELLO, aka El Chino, FIGARELLO was born about 1930 and Subject was able to say little more about him than this in as much as he spent most of the time during this meeting talking with Faure CHOMON. OS CHOMON'a second visit to the Argentine Embassy he was accompanied by (fnu) JIMENEZ, aka Himenito, also born about 1930 and the son of (inu) Santos JIMENEZ. JIMENEZ was, according to Subject, at one time the director of the revolutionary newspaper "Combate". Subject was unable to supply further izformation on this individual.10. Subject was shown the KUBARK list of Cuban diplomatic and consular personnel abroad dated April 1963 and was able to identify a number of Individuals appearing on this list as known to him.

SECRET-11-12. We asked Subject whether or not he was acquainted with any individual belonging to the Cuban military. He could supply no significant names or information in this sphere. He did advise us that a potential source for this type of information was one Eloy GUTIERREZ Menoyo. According to Subject, GUTIERREZ was formerly a Cuban army officer and would have many contacts in this area. As an aside, Subject stated that GUTIERREZ had supplied weapons to Fidel CASTRO during the 1958-59 period through an individual who he knew cnly as (fnu) GONZALEZ. GONZALEZ apparently in turn obtained the weapons from a (fnu) SAGARO who was a resident of Santiago de Cuba. Of even more interest, Subject stated that GONZALEZ was, during this same period, in contact with Otto SKORZENY in Madrid and Belgium. Subject could no longer remember where he had heard this information and could only add that as he remembered, GONZALEZ had seen SKORZENY in Madrid and Brussels, Belgium, during this period. It is felt that this piece of information may be of more than normal significance in that we recall having been told several years ago that SKORZENY was of operational interest to KUBARK. As we remember, SKORZENY was at that time suspected of or reported to be the key figure in a Communist/KGB. illegal funding apparatus. We will check with the CI Staff, WE, and EE, in order to determine whether further information on SKORZENY's alleged activities was ever developed.13. Raul RODRIGUEZ Feo is, according to Subject, a professional in the Cuban foreign service. Subject does not know for certain where RODRIGUEZ is presently stationed but suspects he is in lHabana. RODRIGUEZ does not appear in the KUBARK list of Cuban diplomats abroad, RODRIGUEZ is a good friend of Subject and his wife, and Subject's wife has known Mrs. RODRIGUEZ since both were small girls. RODRIGUEZ was born about 1912 and studied at the University of Habana, He and Subject attended the same secondary schools in Sagua La Grande, Cuba. Subject states thai RODRIGUEZ is definitely not a Communist and probably would cooperate in any anti-Castro activity KUBARK might aak of him.14. Carlos LAC was born about 1923 in Cuba and is a Certified Public Accountant. Subject is good friends with LAO in that both of them worked together in attempting to overthrow the Batista regime. LAO refuged to the United States from Cuba in October 1962 and now lives in Willerate, Minnesota.

SECRET- 12 -15. UFGA 7428, 31 January 1963, contains information obtained by JMWAVE regarding Subject and indicated him to be emotionally unstable, eccentric, and generally reputed to be something of a nut. We are inclined to agree with this information in so far as Subject's economical theory's concerned. During his stay of almost one year as an asylee in the Argentine Embassy in Habana, Subject spent the copious spare time available to him writing an economic treatise. On our meeting with Subject on May 4th, Subject provided us with a handwritten short summary of this document. According to this summary, Subject has been attempting to correlate economic cycles with peaks of sunspot activity. He backs up his 'economic argument" with reference to the Old Testament and the Aztec Calendar. If Subject has been expounding this theory in public we are not surprised that he is considered somewhat of a nut. It should be noted, however, that many otherwise sane and useful people believe in horoscopes and other similar superstitions. We do not feel that this quirk in his personality must necessarily be considered derogatory in terms of his possible operational exploitation by KUBARK. Although we have spent less than ten hours with Subject, our impression is that he is a rational individual in terms of his attitude towards and relationships with other individuals and personalities around him. As a matter of fact, we obtained the impression that Subject possesses more than his fair share of what is sometimes termed "common sense". The handwritten summary of Subject's economic theory as pertaining to cunspots is appended to this memorandum as attachment.Attachment: HerewithAs stated aboveGP:sabDistribution:Orig & 1 - C/SAS/CI (chrono copy)1- RID/IndexGalen PearySAS/CI1 - Jose Antonio CASAS Rodriguez1 - C/SAS (info copy)

# 2025 RELEASE UNDER THE PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 1992SECRET30 June 1964MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORDSUBJECT: Telephone Conversation between AMBIDDY-1 and Martin FerrerDATE : 30 June at 1100 hours1. Upon Erneido Oliva's request, AMBIDDY-1 went to meet with him last night. At the meeting Oliva mentioned to A-1 that he (Oliva) was receiving the backing of KUBARK and the Pentagon and implied A-1 was also receiving aid. Oliva stated that he has met with Alfredo Rodemeyer, the same Rodemeyer that both of them had met early last year. A-1 replied this was all before the death of Kennedy and he no longer had contact with any of ODYOKE's officials. According to Oliva, Mr. Rodemeyer spoke badly of some of the personnel in A-l's organization, e.g., Antonio Iglesias. Oliva mentioned that he had talked with Thomas Mann recently and expected to seu Mr. Mann within the coming week to receive support for his conventional warfare program. A-1 told Oliva he had no objection to the conventional warfare plan and that he would morally support Oliva in liberating Cuba. However, he would continue in his own little way with his unconventional war. According to A-1, he made it clear to Oliva that he was not receiving ODYOKE backing.2. A-1 expects to leave on 1 July for Costa Pica tomorrow. He again mentioned that Adelaide will soon be leaving the United States. A-1 commented he does not expect to visit the United States as often as he has done in the past.

We replied, in effect, that we ontertained such suspicions and inclined toward taking his protestetions of liberalien and laisses faire with a heavy dose of salt. Once in power, he would treat the 1940 as a scrap of paper and run the country along autoritorian lines. Flattered by his implied inclusion in the line of succession, A-l caly voiced mild dissent.2. Comment: Considering the exigencies of autonomy which dany us much opportunity, let alone leverage in shaping AMBIDOT-1's political philosophy, we have conveyed to him in a variety of ways that we do not particularly care one way or the other, that we do not fancy him as a abesen instrument outside the periphery of AORLD and that by extension we have no intention of promoting any political aspirations he may barbor. We have also left no doubt in his mind that we view his perfarnance in the ANWORLD driver's seat rather than any philosophical streams of consciousness, as a dependable gauge of how he would be performing in a position of political responsibility.We pointed out to ANTIDDY-1 that Liberation Day would find a prestrats, bankrupt and exhausted people, weary to death e politics and propaganda, eraving to be left alens for a stále te eelises ite thoughte.

29 June 1964ANWORLD MEETING IN NEW ORLEANS, 24 June 1964SUBJECT: Adlaida PADRON y Crus - Decision to Nove Her to Nicaragua1.  Drawing liberally upon data supplied in UPGA 16512, we reminded AMBIDDY-1 about our misgivings regarding his association with Adelaida PADRON y Cruz. He conceded awareness of some of the rumors circulating about her past private life and stated that he had satisfied himself that they were unfounded. We injected that we knew that Jose Mole Rosales has been asked to do some investigating and had given Adelaida Padron a clean bill of health. We also happened to know that KXI was aware of the true story and for reasons of his own had decided to withhold it from ANBIDDY-1. we inquired what he know about Senora MOLI and he commented that she had been a "bad women". We observed that the "had been" was open to question.2.  ANBIDDY-1 averred that he had listened to a telephone conversation betoon Adelaida and ber forner husband, Roger Bejas Lavernis, in which the latter had admitted that the story about his having acted under higher orders when marrying Adelaida vere cafounded. ANBIDDY-l also charged the ex-husband of having tried to ustice his wife to participato in ergies, but that Adelaida hed refused to do so.3.  As regards Adelaida's alleged illicit relationship with ex-President BATISTA, AMBIDDY-1 simply declared the charge to be unfounded. Adelaida did know Carlos CANTILLO Gonzales the wo an old fried of the family. She also had met ex-Presi-dat Jum, but nothing of a compromising nature had ensued.4.  When asked whether te me tous thes Advlatda bad intro-deed him to several prominent Venesusians, he denied this and stated that introdestions had been made by silvia GARCIA, a Brusted childhood friend of ANBIDDY-1
[104-10163-10041.pdf — page 5]
-2-5. Our query why Adelaida, if she had AMBIDDY-1's interests at heart, appeared to have qualms about owning up in respect to past events, was parried by AMBIDDY-1 by claiming that Adelaida was of course aware of all these rumors and had warned him of possible political embarrassment.6. Evaluating UFGA 16512 on the basis of our talk with AMBIDDY-1, we conclude that its main source has a high batting average. At least there appears to be a hard core of truth to practically all allegations made, to the extent we were able to check them out. We would venture the guess that, despite his protestations to the contrary, AMBIDDY-1 is quite conversant with Adelaida's past history, but can see no practical gain in so telling us. He may reason that an avowal of intent to marry a woman whose antecedents are in fact as described, would seriously blemish his image and that by pleading ignorance now he can, if things should get out of control, always strike a pose of injured innocence and elicit a "there but for the grace of God go I" reaction from his PBPRIME associates.7. Agreement that all interested parties would benefit by moving Adelaida's abode from the WAVE area to Nicaragua was reached on the basis of AMBIDDY-1's acceptance of our flat statement that we view Adelaida as a potential hazard to AMWORLD's and KUMARK's security. He based this reasoning upon numerous incidents that Adelaida had become all but completely privy to everything that was going on in AMWORLD and that her discretion left a great deal to be desired. We drew no denial from AMBIDDY-1 when stating that Adelaida had become witting of the WAVE training course for AMBIDDY-1 and that she presumably knew about KIBARK's support for AMWORLD. We referred to Adelaida's lechian associates, without stating that we suspected her of holding charter membership mentioned by name Aida PEREZ and Lucia CARO. When the latter was labelled by us a lesbian believed to be in Adelaida's complete confidence, AMBIDDY-1 evinced surprise and for reasons difficult to fathom almost dismay. We concluded by stressing the importance of breaking up Adelaida's circle of associates and confidants as an indispensable prerequisite for containing the threat her access to information we consider classified represents and asked AMBIDDY-1 to make sure that member of this group would follow her to Nicaragua.SECRET
