CONTINUATION OFDISPATCH                                                                   HYMA - 345312. According to reports submitted to Wallace B. ROUTON by   LIRING-3, the latter set Carlos Manuel Persaval Varcue originally   through the latter's sister-in-law, Carmer Lozada de Ramirez,   who had been carrying on an extra-marital affair with LIRING-3   since early November 1967. On the evening of 3 March 1968,   Persaval approached LIRING-3 in connection with the difficulties   that a young Guatemalan woman living in Mexico City vas having   in obtaining false documentation to enable her to travel to   Guatemala to recontact her husband, whom Persaval described as   "an important guerrilla leader". Persaval revealed to LIRING-3   that he had been assisting the FAR in propaganda work in Hexico   for some time and gave LIRING-3 several copies of a pamphlet   entitled "Violencia en Guatemala" which Persaval said had bee'n   published on one of his uncle's presses and was being sold at the   nominal price of three Mexican pesos to help raise money for the   FAR.3. When LIRING-3. under ROWTON's direction, responded   favorably to this initial approh, Persaval pursued the matter   and finally, on 8 April, revealed that he was in touch with two   "パー   who needed neip in returning   clandestinely to Guatemala. Persaval asked LIRING-3 to arrange   to guide these persons across the Guatemalan border south of   Chiapas, an area LIRING-3 had previously told Persaval he was very   faniliar with from his previous residence in San Cristobal.   Persaval made no further reference to the "young Guatemalan wife   of the FAR leader". LIRING-3 surmised to ROWTON that this person   might actually have been the wife of Francisco Lara Barrios, but   that plans for her return were discarded in favor of the trip   by Lara himself.4. At ROWTON's urging, LIRING-3 insisted on meeting the two   Guatemalans involved and in talking to then before undertaking   such a mission. Persaval finally introduced LIRING-3 to Francisco   Lara Barrios on 17 March 1968, and the latter presented LIRING-3   to a certain "Rodolfo", who LIRING-3 ascertained subsequently was   a member of the 13th of November group headed by Yon Sosa by the   name ofxSandoval. Francisco Lara Barrios confided to LIRING-3   that he had in his possession a false Guatemalan passport in the   name of Jose Maria Oliva Carranza and that he had obtained legal   residence in Mexico with his wife and children through the efforts   of ex-Mexican President Lazaro Cardenas. He also named a certain   y Eskenazi and LIREBEL-1 as persons who assisted Guatemalan exiles   in Mexico. Station believes Eskenazi may be identical vith   Luis David Eskenassy Cruz, a former agent of the Guatemala City   Station.5. With the approval of ROWTON, LIRING-3 agreed to help   the above-mentioned persons to cross the Mexican/Guatemalan border   and to accompany them to Guatemala City. This latter extension of   the original trip was made by Lara at the suggestion of LIRING-3   so that the latter could meet with the FAR woman responsible for   logistics. LIRING-3 reported to ROWTON subwequently that just   before their departure, Lara also offered to arrange for LIRING-3   to travel clandestinely to the Sierra de las Minas to meet directly   with FAR and 13th of November leaders to discuss further support   that LIRING-3 might be able to provide through his commercial   contacts in Chiapas and northern Mexico.6. LIRING-3 fabricated a false Mexican identity document   (Secretaria de Education) for Francisco Lara Barrios in the   name of Jacinto Rangel Cervantes with Lara slightly disguised so   that the latter could move about more unobtrusively on the Mexican   side of the border just prior to crossing. On 3 April 1958,   just prior to their scheduled departure date, Francisco Lara
