24 September 1968MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORI)FROM: WH/1 (Marvin Francis)SUBJECT: 17 September 1968 discussion with DRISCOLL re LIRIDG/3 & LIRING/4.PARTICIPANTS: DRISCOLL, KERBE, FRANCIS and Laurence PIPER (C/WII/2/G).1. LIRING/4 is still very concerned about the imprisonment of LIRING/3. LIRING/4 will not travel to Cuba until she is assured of the safety TTDINC. L/3 has thoroughly discussed L/3 with L/4 and has pointed out the danger of attempting to intercede on L/3's behalf through business contacts, L/4 contacted the Cubans for assistance but they stated there was nothing they could do. They have assisted L/4 with small amounts of money. L/3 has devised an open code which he uses in letters to let L/4 know how he is. The letters are grim reading because L/3 keeps stating he is unable to hold out much longer. Fellow prisoners have warned L/4 not to let the Guats transfer him to another prison as this usually ends in the prisoner being shot "while escaping." One good result from the continued imprisonment of L/3 is that both he and L/4 are furthering their bona fides with the Cubans.2. L/4 is in telephone contact with the Third Secretary of the Mexican Embassy in Guatemala. He has made inquiries about L/3 with the Guats on behalf of Foreign Minister CARRILLO Flores. A few weeks ago (prior to the assasination of the U.S. Ambassador) the Third Secretary told L/4 there were three possibilities, the first which he considered out of the question was that L/3 would be shot, the second was that L/4 would come to trial and be released within a few weeks, and the third was that he would receive a sentence of two or three years. Just prior to departing Mexico on this current trip, DRISCOLL attempted to arrange a meet with L/4 in the usual means by slipping a typed note under her apartment door. She did not make the meeting. DRISCOLL later learned through phone tap material that she called the Cuban Embassy and informed them the
[104-10176-10222.pdf — page 12]
- 2 -Mexican authorities had notified her she was being fined 500 pesos. The purpose of the payment was not identified. Later she made a call from the Cuban Embassy which indicated she was staying there until she could get the funds to pay the Mexicans. DRISCOLL. therefore, concluded she had not returned to her apartment and did not get the note to make their meeting. DRISCOLL said SUAREZ (the visiting Cuba Cultural type) has a key to L/3's apartment and might see the note but would be unable to identify the sender since DRISCOLL uses a meaningless scool as a signature.3. DRISCOLL now plans upon his return to Mexico to recontact L/4 to get the latest reading on L/3's status in Guatemala. If the Mexican Charge is unable to obtain L/3's release ir behalf of the Mexicans and if it appears he will be held indefinately, DRISCOLL wants to explore the possibility of our doing something to get L/3 out so the operation can become active again.4. In the above regard L/3 was discussed with Mr. PIPER of the Guatemala desk. Mr. PIPER believed the Station has a high enough contact with the Guats (ESM:JOR/20-Presidents brother) to arrange to get L/3 and his Mexican compatriot out of prison and back to Mexico with a minimun security risk. DRISCOLL said he would initiate the cable upon his return to Mexico after he has talked with L/4. DRISCOLL felt he should possibly travel to Guatemala and have a preliminary meet with L/3 before Guat Station makes any all out effort to officially request L/3's release. If, after seeing L/3 DRISCOLL is satisfied that L/3 is still an ally and is willing to cooperate after his release then DRISCOLL believes we should attempt to have the Station intercede with ESMAJOR/20. Hopefully, ESMAJOR/ 20 will arrange the release so that all involved believe it has been done at the request and urging of the Mexican Government. DRISCOLL, however, would like L/3 and L/4 to believe he (DRISCOLL) had something to do with the release in order to raise his status with both for the sake of future operation- al tasks he will levy on them.

EMM-13,647SOURCE A member of the PCN who has good contacts with Guatemalan Communists in Mexico. Much of the information which he has provided has proved accurate.1. The highest-ranking body of the Guatemalan Communist Party (PGT) organization in Mexico is the "Delegation of the Central Committee." This body consists of Huberto Alvarado Arellano, Jose Alberto Cardosa Aguilar, and Jose Luis Balcarcel Ordonez. (Field Comment: CS-311/02978-70 (EM-12,183), from the same source as this report, reported on the makeup of the PGT organization in Mexico as of April 1970. Cardosa and Balcarcel made up the "Delegation of the Central Committee" at that time. TDCS-314/-71 (HGG- ), from a reliable source, provided the information that Alvarado, the third secretary of the PGT, planned to reside in Mexico for the immediate future.)2. Balcarcel also heads the "Directive Committee" of the PGT organization in Mexico, which is responsible for determining what activities the local PGT organization will undertake and who will carry them out. The other members of the "Directive Committee" are Alfonso Solorzano, Fernando Goz, and Julio Rodriguez Aldana. (Source Comment: There has been no change in the membership of the "Directive Committee" since April 1970. Although Rodriguez occupies this leadership position, he has been relatively inactive in PGT affairs.)

# CONTINUATION OF DISPATCH## SECRETHHMA - 37136b. "Romulo," who made at least one trip "cut of town" from 17 February to 2 April 1969 (possibly to Guatemala) during the period covered by ROWTON's reports, appears to belong to a faction of the Guatemalan FAR family disillusioned with PBRUMEN.c. The only real service asked LIRING-3 by "Romulo" during the period under review was to put up an unidentified "comrade" scheduled to come to Mexico at a date which "Romulo" said he could not determine exactly. This "comrade" was not the young Guatemalan who dropped in on LIRING-3 for a couple of days mentioned in the report dated 25 April.d. LIRING-3 continues to collect clear evidence that LIRING has done its best to denounce him as a suspicious element definitely not to be trusted (see reports dated 15 and 19 February).3. Several attempts to tail "Romulo" did not produce particularly significant results. A pretext investigation of apartment 102 of Calle Coahuila, where LIRING-3 met "Romulo" produced the results contained in the Spanish language report dated 26 February forwarded as attachment #2. There were no traces on the Ines XBASTON deX PIMENTEL family. *Sex: F* *Citi Mexico* *A: Mexico*4. There is little question at this point that LIRING-3 is close to persona non grata with LIRING. Hence, his further usefulness against the PBRUMEN target is very limited. ROWTON has kept away from LIKEING-4 since LIRING-3's release from prison in Guatemala. Although LIRING-4, following her father's death (see MEXICO CITY-0125), may visit her mother in PBRUMEN, she has no particular love for LIRING or the PERUMEN authorities. On the Guatemalan side of this operation, the Station is, as it has done many times in the past, waiting for LIRING-3's Guatemalan contacts to make the next move.![signature of Raymond A.

ATTACHMENT #HMMA-3713611 February, 1969CONTACT REFCAT1. Agent: LIRING/32. Date & Site of Meeting: 1100, 11/2/69; Cazino Real3. Next Meeting: 1000, 14/2/69; same place.4. Reports/Information Submitted by Agent:LIRING/3 told Rowton that there had been little or no developments since he last saw Rowton (21/1/69), just before Rowton had left on his business trip to Monterrey. He commented that he had felt it wiser not to take any initiative in seeking out his FAR friends or revisiting the LIRING office until Rowton had returned. He stated that his old Guatemalan friend, Jacobo Rodriguez Padilla, had called on him once in the company of Carlos Vega, but nothing significant had emerged from the casual conversation. Vega, at several points in the conversation, had mumbled something to Rodriguez about the "crisis" but neither gave an explanation. L/3 told Rowton that he assumed that this remark referred to the current factionalism in the Guatemalan revolutionary struggle.LIRING/3 then identified the attached photo of Mario Augusto Mendez Aguilar immediately at the first glance as that of "Romulo", aka "Mario Mendez" and "Pavel." LIRING/3 did not recognize the photo Rowton showed him of Mario Otoniel Mendez Molina.5. Guidance/Information Given to Agent:Rowton told L/3 that according to the very sketchy information he had concerning Mario Augusto Mendez Aguilar it appeared that the latter belonged to a strongly anti-PBRUMEN faction and that this would perhaps explain the turn-about of the LIRINGs after he, L/3, had indicated to LIRING/9 that he was in contact with "Pavel."Rowton urged L/3 to seek out "Rómulo" at the calle Coahuila 221 safe-house, and, failing this, to recontact Humberto González Vega at his home on calle Manzanillo, in the hope that the latter could arrange a recontact with Mendez.![signature of Wallace B Rowton]Wallace B Rowtonh/w att:1HMMA-37136

CONTACT REPORT14 February, 19691. Agent: LIRING/32. Date & Site of Meeting: 1000, 14/2/69; Camino Real Restaurant.3. Next Meeting: 1100, 15/2/69; same place.4. ADMINISTRATIVE: LIRING/3 told Roxton that his friend, Berta Wigisser has rented a furnished apartment that can be used by him and Roxton as a safehouse as soon as it is vacated by its present occupants. L/3 explained that these occupants are relatives of sra Wigisser who are visiting from Argentina but who are expected to return to their own country within the next ten days.5. REPORTS/INFORMATION GIVEN BY AGENT:L/3 told Roxton that "Rómulo" (whom he identified from a photo as Mario Augosto Mendez Aguilar) visited him at his home unannounced at about 2000 on 11 February and stayed until almost midnight.According to L/3 Rómulo-apologized for not having seen L/3 for so long ( last date reported was 3/1/69) explaining that he was very busy. He then stated that he had recently seen and talked with Rodolfo Sandoval Alegría in the (Lucumberri)prison and was pleasantly surprised to learn that Sandoval knew 1/3 and spoke very highly of him. Rómulo then went on to say that he had known Sandoval many years and had actually been his deputy in Guatemala. Rómulo recalled that when he was last arrested (he explained parenthetically that he had been arrested four times in all) he was tortured in an effort to make him reveal the whereabouts of Sandoval. He claimed to 1/3 that he finally, to avoid execution, gave a false address- that of one of Sandoval's relatives.1/3 told Roxton that he then took the occasion to tell Rómulo of the harrassment he was being subjected to by various persons whom he felt were being inspired by the Chief LIRING. 1/3 told Roxton that Rómulo then asked him what the false charges brought against him were. L/3 told Rómulo the truth, saying that he kept getting reports that he was regarded as a CFIRM agent. According to 1/3, Ró- mulo exclaimed that he should pay no attention to that
[104-10176-10222.pdf — page 25]
2. sort of slander since the LIRING office was always trying to neutralize persons and groups not acting under their control. He added that the people who really count in the struggle were used to such nonsense and were aware of what the LIRINGS were up to. He added that as soon as Sandoval got out of prison he would "straighten some of those people out" since he was personally aware of 1/3's motives and activities before his trip to the border. When L/3 mentioned his contacts with Carlos Vega (always at the latter's initiative), Rómulo described him as "Pastelito, a very sectarian sneaky pro-LIRING bastard". He said he would like 1/3 to arrange a meeting with Vega so that he could burst in and confront him with the facts.Regarding Humberto González Vega, Rómulo said that he was a good "elemento" and had suffered a great deal for the cause, but at the moment was more or less out of the picture. He saw no need for 1/3 to be in contact with him. When L/3 expressed a desire to have some way of contacting Rómulo, the latter promised to give him his home address as soon as he move to a better place. He explained that at the moment he was living in a furnished room.At the end of the talk, when Rómulo asked when they could get together again, explaining that he might have to go down to Crizaba over the week-end, L/3 told Rowton that he made a date for 1900 on 14/2/69. 1/3 then suggested that they meet outside so as not to involve his wife (1/3 told Rowton that he did this so that Rowton would have a chance to observe Rómulo in some public place), and Rómulo agreed but said he had a better suggestion. He then stated that he knew a Mexican family very well and could arrange that they meet at their home and have dinner. He added that he might bring along a brother ("hermano") and would come by L/3's home at 1900 to pick him up. L/3 agreed, saying that he had no objection to the brother coming along.W B Rowton
