PAGES 1SUBJECT Eulugio Cantillo/Claim of HighQuality Uranium Deposits inCuban MineREFERENCES# DOMESTIC COLLECTION DIVISION# OPERATIONAL INFORMATION REPORTThis report is believed to contain information of operational interest and may not be disclosed to personnel outside the Directorate of Operations without the prior permission of the Domestic Collection Division.US citizen, individual with longtime relationship with Eulugio Cantillo. Source is a retired Agency staff employee.1. Zulugio Centillo, a Cuban national who resides at 6791 S.W. 2nd Street, Miami, Florida, is a former Cuban general. In 1956, when he was the Chief of the Cuban Air Force under Cuban dictator Batista, Cantillo's uncle came to him with an ore sample the uncle had uncovered in an abandoned former Spanish mine in Cuba. The uncle suspected the ore was uranium. Cantillo brought the specimen to the US, where it was assayed by an unnamed US survey company as being the richest uranium sample the firm had ever tested. Cantillo and the uncle, who were the only individuals aware of the location of the mine, recognized archaic Cuban laws did not protect their find, so the general attempted to get Batista to change the mining statutes. Batista suspected the general had come across something significant, andhhe sent a team of men to the Pinar del Rio area for six months on a search. The team uncovered nothing. Batista also tried to work out a deal where he would be a partner in the venture as a pre-condition to changing the mining laws. He was unsuccessful in convincing Cantillo to permit him to become a partner. At that time, the revolution reached full intensity, and Batista left the country.2. Cantillo's uncle is still in Cuba. Despite Cantóllo's imprisonment by the Fidel Castro regime for nine years, he has never told anyone about his uncle's find. Approximately one year ago, Cantillo approached a retired Agency staff employee and informed him of the uncle's find. He did so after all these years because of the developing relations between the US and Cuba. Cantillo feels the US may be able to make use of information that Castro does not possess about the riches that exist in his own nation, and that Castro and the USSR would capitalize on the find if they were to become aware of it. In his view, the US should know of this potential before it conducts negotiations with Castro. The general is willing to provide the name of the assay company, so that documentation can be obtained on the purity of the uranium.3. The general's US contact notes Cantillo is not the sort of man who speaks inaccurately abort things such as this. He described Cantillo as a "solid guy", and says the information Cantillo has provided probably is reliable.- end -CLASSIFICATIONC-O-N-F-I-D-E-N-T-I-A-L![classification of the document]

# 2025 RELEASE UNDER THE PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 1992VIA AIRTO: Chief, W/DDISPATCH NO. HW-A-1552SECRETDATE 29 June 1954FROM: Chief of Mission, Mexico CitySUBJECT:GENERAL-OperationalSPECIFIC -Subject of BMW-W-1507REFERENCE: HPM-W-1507, 18 June 1954TW/W-2751. Subject is contacted by a member of this Mission about twice a month usually on a semi-social basis. Subject is quite familiar with the workings of the organization based on his experience in Panama, his frequent visits there, and his contacts with this office during the past years. From time to time subject provides bits of information or opinions on local affairs which he thinks may be of interest. Ways in which he could be of further operational use have also been discussed with him in general terms. Subject has provided his name for use in registering a station automobile and for obtaining postoffice boxes.2.  Subject appears to be well versed in some of the operational methods of the organization and has always expressed a willingness to assist in any way possible. This might include acting as a cut-out, furnishing general political and Communist information, setting up cover establishments, and the development of informants in several fields. To date, no specific opening for his services has been evolved but it is highly likely that such a spot will appear in the future.3. This Mission foresees no strong obstacle or reason against subject's being contacted by KUJUMP again but feels that if subject had any information of possible interest to this organization he would immediately contact the writer. In addition, such a contact might possibly re-kindle subject's previously expressed feeling that at times it appeared that "the left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing". It is suggested that if KUJUMP has any specific type of information in mind, questions indicating the line of interest could be forwarded to this Mission and placed before subject for his comment. If KUJUMP particularly desires to interview subject it is suggested that this Mission be authorized to so inform subject so that the matter will appear completely coordinated in subject's mind.SECRETFORM NO. 51-28JUN 1949RICOPY

A representative of AI/IRP recently contacted subject, a "U.S. manufacturers' representative, who lives in Mexico City. After JIMMP made its standard explanation of KUBARK interests, the subject said that he felt that he should make it clear that he worked for KUBARK in Mexico. He qualified by saying that his extensive background and experience in Mexico enabled him to set up meeting places and front offices as well as other cover projects for KUBARK, AERIO and WHAVY.2. Subject seemed quite candid and JMP had no reason to believe that he was not telling the truth. Subject doubted that he could give KUBARK a great deal of information which was not available through official agencies operating in Mexico. However, he seems to be morally knowledgeable on the situation there and JMP feels that he might be a source of some interesting information if their contacting him would not interfere with arrangements which your Mission might have made with him.3. Headquarters requests your comments regarding subject. Please advise as soon as possible, since AI/IRP would like to contact subject again when he returns to this country in July.11 June 1964Distribution:3 - Mexico City 1 - WH/Chrono1 - WH/Mailroom1 - RI1 - Subj.J.

Chief, FI/Plan/CoverChief, Contact Division, 00Alfonso R. Wichtrica (HH-1265)11 May 19541.  A representative of this Division recently contacted subject, a US manufacturers' representative, who lives in Mexico City. Wichtrich was visiting representatives of the Nehi Corporation which is one of his accounts in Mexico City. After our representative made his standard explanation of agency interests, Wichtrich said that he felt that he should make it clear that he worked for the agency in Mexico. He qualified this statement by saying that his extensive background and experience in Mexico enabled him to set up meeting places and "front" offices as well as other "cover" projects for this Agency, the State Department and the Bureau.2.  He seemed quite candid and our representative had no reason to believe that he was not telling the truth. Wichtrich counted that he could give us a great deal of information which was not available through official agencies operating in Mexico. However, he seems to be generally knowledgeable on the situation there and we believe that he might be a source of some interesting information if our contacting his would not interfere with arrangements which the covert offices might have made with him.3.  We should appreciate your comments. If you prefer, we shall not see him again. On the other hand, if you have no objection, we should like to contact him when he returns to this country in July. Please advise.E. M. ASHCRAFT

Agents and InformantsSPECIFIC. LYTECL - Operational ReviewOPERATIONAL REVIEWCOUNTRY: YAIER. PERIOD COVERED: October 1948 - March 1949.1. Subject is no longer an active operative of this station. He was forced to discontinue his activities on our behalf because of the press of personal business. ELIATIC is now in contact with HIMACID and HITROL I has been taken over by HITORPHOSIC.2. During the period of his connection with this station, HIMACL failed to submit any informational report which in itself merited transmission to the Home Office. None of his operations were clean in the sense that a U.S. Government influence had to be introduced into the actual activation of each of his sources. This coupled with the fact that he lacked follow-through has given a slightly sour aspect to all of his operations. We intend to discontinue our connections with Subject.25 Jan 1950Grover J. KaringWere this man to apply for a staff position I would recommend that he be employed.He is a man of great intelligence and purpose and possesses an unusual ability to express himself fluently. On the other hand, this quality which has generally been an asset, is also a drawback to his ability to perform assignments which would require him to engage in subterfuge. I would not recommend him for another country unless they needed such a man of unusual ability.Distribution:Wash (2)Files (1)![Registry Copy stamp]CLASSIFICATIONFORM NO. 51-20APR 1947

The assignment was too broad because subject is establishing a new business and has not had sufficient time to devote to our work. His activities were redirected along the lines of cultivation of specific individuals. His cultivation and recruitment of the informant HYDRACID was excellent. His handling of the subject of TZP#A-C50 was excellent. His handling of HYDRATANTAC has been unsatisfactory in that he has not spent sufficient time on the project. He states he will correct this deficiency. His latest assignment is the penetration of communist circles in the National University of Panama. He has recruited an excellent individual for this purpose who will be employed at a salary of one Hundred Fifty Dollars ($150.00) per month. This project is approximately one year old.SALARYTo date subject has not received a salary, but has been compensated socially and by![SEI-Kapoh Classification]201 30999FORM 51-20 APR 1947
