13 September 1968MEMORANDUM FOR: CI/OPSSUBJECT : AMCLEVE-15 (201-300985)1. Subject, à Cuban now living in Caracas, Venezuela, is a Station Caracas, penetration of the Venezuelan General Directorate of Police and of the Special Group, a smaller, somewhat autonomous unit within DIGEPOL. A POA was requested on Subject on 25 January 1968, to use Subject as stated above. On 1 February 1967, WH/3/V requested cancellation of the POA request because of indications that Subject was involved in clandestine sabotage activity and there were suspicions that he had failed to report his activities to CIA or DIGEPOL. Station Caracas was directed to handle Subject as a "hostile." The Station was advised that they could maintain contact with Subject as a source of information on activities of DIGEPOL and the Special Group but that no requirements were to be levied on him. The Station was advised that they could make spot payments for information received from Subject. CI/OPS co-ordinated on these directions to Station Caracas.2. The Station acknowledged their instructions but demurred on Headquarters' interpretation of ANCLEVE-15'8 activities. The Station stated, in effect, that assets are often unsavory individuals, who are never under complete con- trol and who seldom disclose the complete range of their activities to their supervisors. The Station added that they vere interested in Subject because of his position as a "trusted confidant" of certain highly placed Venezuelan security officials.3. In the ensuing months the Station came to describe Subject as "an extremely valuable penetration" because of the intelligence information and operational reports he furnished. For example, he reported on the involvement of the Venezuelan military in a Cuban exile plan to attack Cuba. And, he also reported on a plan of Cuban exiles to ship arms from Venezuela

as part of an infiltration scheme. He has reported such operational information as a description of the capabilities, layout and equipment of DIGEPOL telephone tap operations. Included in this information was his report that at least on paper, the U.S. Embassy was a target for tap operations. He has also reported on the personalities and workings of the organizations with which he is associated. At the same time the Station had an independent report that Subject was involved in a scheme to obtain "curare poison for approximately forty hypodermic needles." To avoid exposing the source of their information the Station did not query AMCLEVE-15 about the matter. The Station said that they disapproved of his involve-ment te wild Cuban exile schemes but that Headquarters restric-tions in February 1968 prevented the Station from discussing this involvement with him.4. In May 1968, the Station informed Headquarters that they believed that Subject was collaborating fully with CIA and, further, they believed that he would not expose, inform, or work against CIA. They added that Subject was still capable of engaging in independent Cuban exile activity without informing his Case Officer. The Station also requested a polygraph exam-ination for Subject.5. Subject was given a polygraph examination to resolve specifically his bona fides, possible affiliation with Cuban Intelligence through relatives, unreported association with gangster elements, thefts from CIA and other questions involving possible derogatory information on Subject. Subject's responses, described as substantially truthful by the examiners, appear to contain no information which would prevent CIA's operational use of Subject. On only one question, that involv-ing Subject's association with an alleged racketeer, Lefty Rosenthal, did sensitivity persist. The examiner commented, "...Ir fairness to Subject this sensitivity is believed generated by genuine un-certainty over the amount of Para military items which he had been instrumental in getting for Rosenthal from Cuban exile arms supplies."6. Station Caracas has requested that they be allowed to cease treating ANCLEVE-15 as a "hostile" and that the restrictions cited in Paragraph one, above, be lifted to permit more effective utilization of this well-placed penetration agent. WH Division concurs in this request. CI/OPS concurrence is requested in authorizing full operational use of AMCLEVE-15 as a penetration agent into the Venezuelan General Directorate of Police (DIGEPOL) and as a penetration of Rewberto UZCATEGUI's Special Group within DIGEPOL.Jack GoverWH/3/V

Attached are four copies of Subject's MOC.2. As the Desk is aware, the last word from Headquarters vas that AMCLEVE-15 was to be treated as a "hostile" and that full clearance was being withheld pending his SGSWIRL. He has now been SGSWIRLed, and to the Station's knowledge, the test was favorable although an official Headquarters report has not been received. A PRQ Part I was submitted on Subject on 29 May 1968. Therefore, it would be appreciated if the Desk would contact the appropriate Headquarters officials and advise the Station of AMCLEVE-15's official status. We assume that he will be fully cleared and that a POA will be issued followed by an OA after the Station submits PRQ Part II.3. Headquarters recently inquired as to Station thoughts on including AMCLEVE-15 in the CIFLUTE Project rather than making AMCLEVE a separate project. The Station is completely in accord with this idea although it will probably necessitate funds being shifted from CIGUSTY to CIFLUTE. However, a separate dispatch will be prepared on this subject.4. The Station realizes that ANCIEVE-15's clearance has been a thorny problem to the Desk and hopes that we can now clear it up once and for all.Perry G.
