Mr. (Lopez) report was taped and a transcript will be forwarded to by PP/PA.4. Specific recomendations made by ir. Lopez) included having Herbert Hatthows go to Havana and try to influence Castro. Kattheus has a good reputation throughout the 25th of July Movement and could help in an approach to Castro. A visit by Ei Furrow to do a broadcast on Cuba was also recommended. Nr.(Lopez) feels that Castro will be in power for a long time to coe and that we should try to influence him. He is seriously affected by any defections and these right be encouraged. Castro can be hit by defections of overworked and countermanded officials. Two men who were mentioned as ripe for defection are fufo in Hacienda and Cepero in Comercio. Lopez) also recommended contact with Padre Alberto de Castro in Caracas. Mis padre was fcrrerly Pidel's instructor. When Fidel was in Caracas he was scolded by Padre Castro whom Fidel treated with great respect according to Zosco. The Paare and Fidel spent about one and one half hours alone together at this time. This priest should be checked as a possible influence on Fidel. The possibility of a split between Fidel and Raul should be exploited. Raul is cold ard mean and the fact that he is Fidol's brother does not carr too much weight.RETURN TO CIABackground Use OnlyDo Not Reproduce

# 2025 RELEASE UNDER THE PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 1992DRAFTRETURN TO CIABackground Use OnlyDo Not Reproduce2 February 196*MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD:SUBJECT: Debriefing of Edward G. Tichbern (P)1. Edward G.Tichborn(P) arrived in Washington from his trip to Cuba during the night of 31 January 1960/. He was debraefed at the Hotel Statler from about 1000 to 1530 hours on 1 February. Those present at the debriefing were Messrs. 03 (Phil Toomey) and Charles Penney from WH Division, KrAlexander Hunter) PP/EAD, and the Undersigned. This debriefing was very interesting and resulted inx a good deal of pertinent information. The three and a half reels of tape derived IKKE therefrom are now being transcribed by this office. Some of the more salient points are noted below.2. Some of the operational information and suggestions offered by Tichborn are the following:a. There appears to be little chance of a coalition of the opposition groups at this time or in the near future since they are not well organized and each group w would want to be the leader of such an effort. Also, according to the members of the opposition to whom Tichborn talked, it is the general consensus of opinion that Fidel Castro is in no danger of loosing his grip or the devotion of his followersx for some time to come.b. Fidel Castro seems to become most at upset and almost paniced by defections. Possessing a "Messiah-type complex he cannot bear the thought of someone leaving the fold. Rather than to let such defections pass on unnoticed, he feels compelled to give reasons and rake excuses. This then blows the matter up perhaps out of proportion and quickly becomes a matter of public knowledge. Tichborn feels that the inducement of defections could perhaps have more effect on Castro than any other single, rational action we might undertake.c. There appears to be a relatively long-standing schism between the brothers Fidel and haoul Castro. Raoul is the mose cold individual. As an example, Fidel once ordered some 400 prisoners to be returned safely to their homes, but Racul had a number of them killed. The general feeling in Cuba is that Fidel is not a Communist, but that Raoul is undoubtedly at least a fellow-traveller. Developing or exploiting this schism could therefore, be operationally advantageous. (The fact that they are brothers would probably have little effect on Fidel who has already reduced kixxxat the land holdings of his mother and another brother in conformity with the agrarian refora program and who jailed his sister, and fired a Minister, over a shake-down on an insurance deal.)3. Of special operatioral interest ware several individuals Tichborn mentioned who might have some influence on Fidel Castro and hence might be of(253203)

6. On the administrative side, Tichborn will forward by mail his financial accounting, one copy to the cover company and the other to Henry W. Darkin(P). The cover letter which was provided him in the event that he came to the attention of the Cuban authorities was returned to us and is now in his file. (There was no necessity for its use.) Tichborn inquired as to the possibility of receiving reimbursement for medical expenses which will undoubtedly be incurred upon his return to California due to a possible hernia which developed in New York on his return trip en route to Washington. This is being checked out by this office. Tichborn departed for Los Angeles (having been taken to Freindship International Airport by Penry W. Darkin) at about 1800 hours on 1 February 1960.Evalena S. Vidal

# 104-10174-10043 2025 RELEASE UNDER THE PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 1992.Dear Mr. Tichborn:The following is set forth as clarification of your present mission, and the procedures which will be followed in the conduct of it. Please indicate your agreement by signing below.## A. Operational1.  You will be briefed generally on some aspects of the Cuban situation while in Washington on this date..2.  The major briefing to be given you concerning the local political situation, security precautions, and more detailed instructions on your present mission will be undertaken upon your arrival in Havana.3.  Upon arrival in Havana a tourist card will be issued by the Cuban Immigration authorities. You will give your true name and occupation in the United States and state that you are in that area as a "tourist".4.  Your initial contact in Havana will be with IDEN A (name and telephone number attached hereto). When making this call, you will identify yourself as Fred. Morse.5.  IDEN A will then give you the briefing mentioned in paragraph 2 above.6.  IDEN A will also arrange to put you in contact with about two individuals for the purpose of starting you on your assignment. It is anticipated that other leads and contacts will result from these introductions, both in Havana and the interior.7.  When talking to any local contacts you make while in Cuba, your cover story will be the following: that you are talking to them on the behalf of some (unnamed) American businessmen and investors in order to assess discreetly their position and legal resources as concerns the revolutionary laws and to determine the possibility for future financial development and investments.
[104-10174-10043.pdf — page 1]
8. We are providing you with a letter from a cover company (attached hereto) which you will use only in the case of extreme emergency in the event that you come to the attention of the Cuban authorities. This letter states that you are there on a vacation and that this company has asked you to get some first-hand information on the subjects mentioned in paragraph 7 above while there if you are so inclined. This will provide you with a plausible excuse for being both a tourist and one interested in talking with local personalities.9. Your mission generally is to talk with as many knowledgeable persons as possible regarding the political situation in Cuba, with special emphasis on the opposition, its strengths, weaknesses, plans and programs. Of particular interest is the possibility or feasibility of a coalescence of these opposition groups.B. Administrative1.  While on your present assignment you will keep a record of your expeuses which will enable you to submit the required accounting for funds upon your return. In keeping the accounts you should note times of arrival and departure, detailed notation of expenses incurred, and the rate of exchange obtained when exchanging U. S. dollars into local currency.2.
