According to QUTIMID on 26 February, Miss SUAREZ de Cepeda of the Grolier Company called AMAUTO-1 and spoke with his secretary to explain that her company is giving their book to a number of persons in order to obtain their opinions about the product and AMAUTO-1 was one of the persons on Grolier's list. AMAUTO-1's secretary said that he would call when he returned. Later, Miss SUAREZ was told that an appointment was made for 10 March.2. This would appear to be a routine item which probably would not merit further investigation, unless we can discover someone of higher caliber in the Grolier Company who could approach AMAUTO-1 as a means of cultivating a mean- ingful friendship with AMAUTO-1.![signature]Philip C.

CSDB-312/00665-70DOI December 1969-30 January 1970DATE DISTR. 6 March 1970SUBJECT Problems of Cuban Mission in Madrid with Lack of Response from HavanaACQ Spain, Madrid (2) February 1970) FIELD NO. OSM 9937SOURCE An official Spanish service from a usually reliable source who was able to read the memorandum reported below.1. In a memorandum dated 30 January 1970 to Carlos A. Neira Garcia, official of the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Cuban charge d'affaires in Madrid Guillermo Ruiz Perez outlined the salient current problems of most concern to his mission:a. Building construction. Ruiz submitted a proposal to Havana in December 1969 for the construction of a building to house all the mission offices including the embassy, the consulate, the commercial office, the Cubana Airlines office, and possibly the minister's residence. Ruiz had not received a concrete reply to the proposal and he urged Neira to take it up again with the ministry.b. Radio facility. Responding to a request from the Director of the Cuban National Fishing Institute, Emilio Aragones Navarro, in December 1969, Ruiz applied to the Spanish authori- ties for permission to install a radio facility in the Canary Islands for communicating with Cuban ships. The permission had been granted by late December yet Havana had failed to follow up the project with plans and instructions.SECRETNO FOREIGN DISSEM/CONTROLLED DISSEM| STATE | OIA | ARMY     | NAVY  | AIR | NSA | XXX | CRS | (For Field Distribution see final paragraph) || ----- | --- | -------- | ----- | --- | --- | --- | --- | -------------------------------------------- || DCS   | BIC | TREASURY | FBI 4 |     |     |     |     |                                              || WUC/PR | 3 | WH/SAO | 1 | F/IB/R | 3 |  |  |  || WUC/OPS | 2 |  | E/MADR | 3 |  |  |  |  || WUC/EW | 1 | CI/OPS/WL | 2 | E/R | 1 |  |  |  || WUC/PP | 1 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  || WUC/MIAMI | 1 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  || TOTALS | IE 2, CI 4, FI 3, CA 1, DO 2, |  |  |  |  |  |  |  || WR/C 7 (1) EUR 4 (1) WH 1 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |FILE: AMANTO-1*   OSM-9937*   QUSEQUIN/QUDOZE*   (ZRSAUCE)*   CSDB-312/00665-70

NO FOREIGN DISSEM/CONTROLLED DISSEMSECRETPAGE 2 OF 2 PAGESCSDB-312/00665-70c. Visa delays. Havana is consistently late in processing visa requests for foreigners traveling to Cuba. Ruiz attributed the delays to the red tape which involves processing the requests through two ministries; The Visa Section in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Directorate of Immigration in the Ministry of Interior. Ruiz requested authorization for the consulate to send its visa requests directly to the Directorate of Immigration since this is the section that ultimately determines whether a foreigner may or may not enter Cuba.2.

QUTIMID reported a 21 January 1970 conversation held between the wife of the Cuban Charge in Madrid and a Miss "Lourdes" speaking for the Grolier Company in New York. Miss Lourdes said that her company was undertaking some type of publicity and wished to interview the Charge in this regard. When questioned about what kind of work the company does, Miss Lourdes replied that Grolier is an investigation (studies) and consultant firm with central office located in New York City. Lourdes gave her local number as 233-7448. She was advised that the matter would be brought up to the Charge, Guillermo RUIZ, and she would be informed of the results later.2.  Later that day Aristides DIAZ Ruvirosa, the Embassy's press officer and a member of the DGI, called back to say that he would see her the next day in his office at 10:30.3.  According to QUSEQUIN, telephone 233-7448 is registered in the name of Isaac BENDAHAN Sananes at Calle General Moscardo 8, 6th floor, Apt. C, Madrid. There are no Station or liaison traces on BENDAHAN.4.  DO Base New York may be able to identify the Grolier Company in New York and the reason for which their representative was in touch with the Cuban Embassy.5.  Whatever follow-up action is conducted, the sensitivity of the QUTIMID operation should be kept firmly in mind so that our interest does not appear to stem froa a technical monitoring of the Cuban installation.Distribution:2 - C/WHD2 - C/EUR2 - COS, WH/Miami2 - COS, DO/NYPhilip C.

-7-CSMA-2517015 FEB 197Report No. 259 (Cont'd). 27 JAN 1970I told her that I personally regretted it, as an individual and as Cuban, but that as a diplomat I could not do her any favor because she had left Cuba voluntarily, in flight, and that I could not render any assistance to her and least of all protect her. If I had then been able to take pictures, I could have sent them to Havana for them to see (This happened when RUIZ had first arrived here.)RUIZ goes on to say that many people are misled when they arrive in Madrid from Cuba, or have been misled by their relatives. Parents bring their children--RUIZ says there are over 400 Cuban children in one school. One of them left school once and passage had to be provided for him at the airport in CUBANA and allowed him to leave because they did not want to be mixed up in that affair. The child was 14 years old and did not want to stay in Madrid in the parrochial school with the monks. R says that should anything happen to him and his wife wants to stay in Madrid, he wants his children to return to Cuba and remain there until they become of age and make their own choice, but that to take children out of Cuba is a mistake.![Illegible text]FILE: Answer

CURBELO comes in and she tells him a cable arrived granting her permission to travel to Havana, but that she will not be going because RUIZ became annoyed. She adds that RUIZ is very selfish.NILDA and RUIZ discuss her trip. R asks her if she is going; she says 'no' because he does not want her to go. Apparently he tells her to go home that instant and get ready, after she tells him that she has no time to take out her summer clothes, etc. She declines by saying that he has already ruined everything. She goes on to say that she had not asked MELVA or anyone else for her passage, but had written to RUZ (ph) saying that she was very depressed and that she missed her son very much, and they had arranged for her passage. NILDA adds that she is not going on a pleasure trip, but to see her son and see how he is doing, which she finds only natural. She would have stayed with him for two whole days and would have talked to the School Director and formdout how the child was doing. She calls R selfish and says if the trip had been for him she would not have doubted it. She wants to know why RUIZ places objections to her trip to Havana. He want's the two of them to go together, and for her to wait until their vacation, not at this time. She

Report No. 263. 31 Jan. 1970There is another unidentified Cuban in the office. When RUIZ is left alone with her, he says that he feels like an exile, that he has been out for two years and is tired. There are many who want to be out of Cuba, he continues, but it seems to him they want to keep him out of the way. He goes on to say that LEON had appointed him, and supported him, but although they are good friends, he does not like to work with a man whom one never knows what he is thinking, and one never gets to know. R mentions a cable he had sent and says it could have cost his assassination, and that he had purposely done so to see if he were summoned to discuss the matter in Cuba. He would have liked to discuss it there, but they have apparently remained silent. R laments he feels as if he were in Miami.
