# CONTINUATION OF DISPATCH## SECRET/KAPOKHMA-32778 :2. There is little question that LIRING-3 seized the opportunity given him by the sudden apperition of OROZCO on the scene to cover vis a vis his wife a few days of misbehaving. Instead of proceeding to Tapachula to receive from the FAR new contract instructions in Mexico City (an awkward arrangement to say the least), LIRING-3 remained at the safe house he uses in the capital to receive the visit (as indicated by LIFEAT) of Berta VICISSER his "regular" mistress, Silvia DURAN (of Lee Earvey OSWALD fame) and possibly a certain Yolanda (who appears for the first time in this operation and whose phone number is not in the Station reversed Mexico City telephone directory) Pinned down on the fact that he was in Mexico. City during the period of 19 to 21 July, LIRING-3 admitted that he was but felt that he had to tell another lie racher than aduit his misbehavior. This lie was that he did not want to appear dependant on Sergio VALDEZ in the eyes of ROWTON and so wade his first meeting with OROZCO "more intriguing" by inventing the trip to Tapachula. To add credence to the Tapachula story, LIRING-3 previously asked his wife to impress ROWTON with her concern for his, telling ROWTON that he had disappeared for three days without telling her where he went. This she did very convincingly with much sobbing and crying. The LIROSIN LP which continues to experience technical difficulties now and then did not operate properly that day (it's recorder broke down) but, as luck will have it LIROSIN live monitored conversation between LIKING-3 and his wife during which the latter reported that her tears seemed to have convincedLIRING-3 coacerned the mention of the alias which ROWTON uses with LIRING-3 and 4 to various persons with whom LIRING-3 is in touch. LIFEAT coverage had indicated, for example, that LIRDIG-3 mentioned FOTO in alies to Sergio VALDEZ. This LIRING-3 denied. He produced on 3 August 1967 a written review of all the people of interest to ROWTON with whom he has been in contact indicating whether or not he mentioned O-TON's alias to them. This review is attached to one of ROWTON's reports dated 9 August.3. What happened between OROZCO, LIRING-3, Sergio VALDEZ and Raul MORENO is explained in detail in ROWTOH's reports forwarded with this dispatch. A few additional points should probably be made here. First of all, part of the first meeting between LIRING-3 and ORCZCO at LIRING_3's sefehouse was live monitored by LIROSIN when the latter returned home from his regular bartending job in the early hours of the morning. LIROSIN heard enough (his recorder vas once more inoperative) to basically confira LIRING-3's report of his meeting with OROZCO to ROWTON. Secondly, neither VALDEZ nor MORENO vere present during the night of 31 July1 August when LIRING-3 told OROZCO that the latter was in fact a deserter from the FAR, refusing to indicate how he knew this (ROWTON had passed LIRING-3 information on OROZCO received by the Station from both LIREBEL-1 and 2). The two men arrived at LIRING-3's apartment in the early morning hours when OROZCO had admitted everything and thus do not know what prompted him to tell the truth. Thirdly, LURING-3 nsists that he told OROZCO nothing about his plastic flower business and it's contemplated use to cover activities in support of the Guatemalan rebels. According to him, CROZCO already knew this as well as other details of his dealings with the FAR. LIRING-3 presumes that OROZCO learned this from the higher-ups of the FAR guerrillas while in the hills. OROZCO mistakenly apparently thought that LIRING-3 was in the actual arms procurement business whereas his discussions with the FAR have been limited up to now to the eventual transportation of FAR acquired supplies from Northern Mexico to Guatemala (with the FAR assuming the responsibility of smuggling these supplies over the Guatemalan border). LIRING-3's plastic flower business designed to cover support activities on behalf of the FAR, is not, as a matter of fact operative yet. Thus OROZCO was badly informed of LIRING-3's activities. How OROZCO hoped to obtain arms from LIRING-3, had the latter been able to deliver some at the Guatemalan border area, in view of the fact (as he later admitted) that he was stone broke, is a matter of conjecture. A desperate man may do desperate things and LIRING-3 could have found himself in serious trouble. Judging from the FAR's shooting habits it is a good thing in any case that OROZCO was not armed during the argument at LIRING-3's apartment the night of 31 July to 1 August, particularly when VALDEZ started to threaten him.
