# DISPATCHSECRETOSMA - 26117appropriate references to his deceased spouse, the fact that "Jūlio" was always jealous of AMAUTO-1 and his doctor's orders to take a vacation to relieve his mind of the recent death of his wife. After several rehearsals SAMKO would have convinced anyone of the purpose of his visit to Europe. He did_an_outstanding-job-throughout-the-operation.2. On the evening of 30 May SAMKO and SACODER dined at an out-door restaurant. We spent another three hours rehearsing his cover story, reviewing the objectives and trying to anticipate questions AMAUTO-1 might ask during their meeting together. SAMKO was given the following objectives:a. The foremost objective was for SAMKO to renew and improve upon his relationship with AMAUTO-1, to the extent that they would be able to reminisce, over a prolonged period, about the relationship that existed before AMAUTO-I's departure from the United States.b. To exchange addresses and telephone numbers for the purpose of sending occasional greetings to one another.c. To invite AMAUTO-1 (and his wife, if necessary) to dinner, at his expense.d. To ascertain AMAUTO-1's future plans.e. To assess ANAUTO-1's feelings toward the United States and toward his own government.f. For SAMKO to talk favorably about the United States using himself as an example, (the son of immigrant parents who made good in business); to emphasize the opportunities available to anyone with imagination, ambition and aggressiveness.g. If the opportunity presented itself, to show sympathy for the apparent failure of the Cuban Government to reach the 10 million ton sugar goal and to ask whether the non-fulfillment of this goal would adversely affect the economic development of Cuba. It was our hope that some- time during the conversation AMAUTO-1 would volunteer to discuss his country's economic situation which might have opened the conversation to further exploitation by SAMΚΟ.h. Parallel with objective e. above, SAMKO was instructed to ask (provided an appropriate opening appeared in the conversation) AMAUTO-1 for his personal comments on the Vietnam issue and anti-war demonstrations in the United States and abroad. We were trying to draw out AMAUTO-1's personal analysis of the U.S. position vis-a-vis the war in Vietnam and to compare his statements with the Cuban Government position.3. Although SAMKO was determined to see AMAUTO-1 even if he had to camp outside AMAUTO-1's home, we reminded him that because of AMAUTO-1's position, he might refuse to see SAMKO in his home, but that SAMKO should not hesitate toSECRET2

# CONTINUATION OF DISPATCHSECRET OSMA - 26417accept any reasonable invitation to be with AMAUTO-1. When SAMKO approached AMAUTO-1's home we had a stroke of luck. First, one-of AMAUTO-1's children was in the front yard playing, and two, the door to the driveway was open, thus SAMKO was able to enter the front yard. Under separate cover for CWHD and COS, Miami we are forwarding photographs taken during the initial meeting between SAMKO and AMAUTO-1. The pictures were taken from the home of one of our staffers. We believe they highlight the events leading to the reunion of these two old friends. The following is a description of each photo:PHOTO A: SANKO arrives at AMAUTO-1's home at 1150 hours, 31 May 1970. (Although not shown, KENTLAND and SACODER were monitoring AMAUTO-1's home from 0900 hours on 31 May so that, in the event AMAUTO-1 decided to leave before SAMKO'S arrival, we could instruct: SAMKO by phone to delay his departure.)B: After trying to enter via the front gate, SAMKO called to one of the children who was playing in the front yard. The child told him to go to the garage entrance. SAMKO walks toward that entrance.C: The boy apparently called for someone in the house. A maid, not shown in this photo, but who can be seen in photo L, came out and approached SAMKO. In his halting Spanish, SAMKO said he wanted to see "el Senor". The maid said he wasn't in. He explained to the maid that it was "very importante" to see the Senor. By this time another maid appeared, shown in this photo, and she gets into the act. She repeats that el Senor is not in. SAMKO, sensing he wasn't getting anywhere, changed his tactics and asked to see "la senora". The maids went into indivi- dual monologues, but SAMKO could not understand what they were saying. Finally, SAMKO produced a note, which he was asked to prepare, and handed it to the maid in this photo. SAMKO repeated that it was "very importante to see el Senor."D: The maid accepts the note and returns to the house. Three of AMAUTO-1's children observe the activities from the front entrance.E: AMAUTO-1 exits, with note in hand and looks toward the driveway. SAMKO spots him and calls out, "Bill, don't you remember me, it's SAMKO." Bill replies, "SAMKO, muy bien, come here, come here." Actually, AMAUTO-I goes toward SAMKO and they embrace. (The driveway slants toward the house and from our observation post we could not see the embrace.)F: AMAUTO-1 accompanies SAMKO into the house, arm in arm. As they go SAMKO tells AMAUTO-1 that he put on weight and asked where his boy was. AMAUTO-1 replies that he's rich because all these kids are his (pointing to the three boys).

AMAUTO-1 is impressed with SAMKO's' Polaroid and they exchange comments on their cameras.I: AMAUTO-1 helps move the baby carriage through the gates. This is his newest and sixth child.J: Same as I, above.K: Maid takes baby out for a stroll. This is a new maid.L: A picture of the new maid. (Might prove helpful for future identification in the event we resume our operation against AMAUTO-1's residence.)M: AMAUTO-1 prepares to open both gates to remove his new Alfa-Romeo.N: Same. Notice AMAUTO-l's high forehead. He has lost a considerable amount of hair since his arrival in December 1967.O: AMAUTO-1's wife enters the picture; also, another one of his sons.P: SAMKO's still taking pictures. He gave the pictures to AMAUTO-l to avoid casting any suspicions. (SACODER ran out of film here, but AMAUTO-1 removes his Alfa from the garage. The car still carries Italian license plates. The AMAUTOS, SAMKO and the kids get in the car and leave for the amusement park located at the Casa del Campo. )4. During the conversation in AMAUTO-1's home, SAMKO began his deliberate softening of AMAUTO-1 with such comments as "you know Bill, Julio was jealous of you because I treated you like a brother. I didn't want you to return to Cuba, but I couldn't stop you. We were all in favor of Castro." Bill admitted here that SAMKO was a good friend and enjoyed his job and the pay was good, but added that "I had to go. I was in the States illegally." SAMKO added "you know, Bill, I never was blessed with any children; you were like a son to me, but when I heard you died in the mountains in Cuba, I blamed myself for letting you go." Bill replied that he was wounded on his left side. SAMKO explained that if AMAUTO-1 was in the States illegally, SAMKO could have arranged for him to remain in the States by getting assistance from some police and detective friends in Florida. SAMKO repeated his delight to again see AMAUTO-1 and how happy he was to know he is alive.5. Moments after entering the house, AMAUTO-1 invited him to have breakfast. SAMKO refused, but settled for a beer. AMAUTO-1 excused himself, went to the phone and called an unidentified party, SAMKO could not understand the conver- sation, but SAMKO and Station officers suspect that he called his embassy or one of his colleagues., possibly advising him of SAMKO's presence.

for employment, he learned that it was the National Buscuit Company. He was a master mechanic. He's an ingenious person and has invented several items on which he has patents. Although the years before, during and after the war were difficult, he had the foresight to put his meager savings in real estate. He moved to Florida in the early 50's, reportedly purchased two apartment buildings, but sold them after a year for a $15,000 loss and made some investments in land near the Cape Kennedy area. He was about to begin a multi-million dollar building project on the land, but the NASA complex was moved to Houston and he therefore cancelled his plans and sold the property. While he is not considered wealthy SAMKO lives quite comfortably in retirement. He has a Lincoln continental in the garage and a home valued at about $50,000. Another of his complaints was the way we controlled his purse strings while in Madrid. We put him in a hotel used by many travel agencies which SACODER thought was comfortable, but SAMKO would have preferred the Hilton. He complained of the fact that he was dipping into his own money and was not happy with the idea of keeping receipts (aside from the hotel bills and the airline ticket, SAMKO probably did not keep any receipts). He was advanced $280 in Madrid which will be T/A'd to Miami. Miami should pick up his full tab and might consider buying him a case of scotch as a token of our appreciation for his accomplishments on the assignment, but PACHANKIS probably has learned that a couple of pats on SAMKO's back is sufficient to reward him.10. Contact was again made with SAMKO on the eve of his possible luncheon engagement with AMAUTO-1. We again reviewed the objectives and he was given a defensive briefing as suggested by WH/Miami. He was told that PACHANKIS probably would not visit with him for about two weeks after his return and that he should not attempt to get in touch with PACHANKIS. He understood why this was necessary and agreed with the briefing. If a luncheon could be arranged, SAMKO was asked to concentrate on the following: (in addition to the requirements he was given before his first meet with AMAUTO-1)A. Try to ascertain AMAUTO-1's future, his ambitions, his next possible assignment.B. If possible engage him in a conversation regarding the United States to get his reaction toward our problems.C. Build up your successes and reflect on how AMAUTO-1 might have achieved similar goals had he remained in the United States.D. Be alert for any opening to inject questions relating to the Cuban economy vis-a-vis the failure of the "ten million", but to avoid criticism for this failure, and show: sympathy.11. SAMKO had no difficulty convincing the hotel management that he had to remain in the hotel until Saturday, 6 June. He spoke directly with the manager and told the manager that he was planning to leave on 7 June for Barcelona and would stay at a sister hotel and asked the manager to make reservations for him. The crisis had passed.

# CONTINUATION OF DISPATCH12. On the morning of 6 June AMAUTO-1's wife called SAMKO and, in English, said that her husband would pick him up at 1400 hours in front of the hotel. At the appointed hour, AMAUTO-l's official vehicle pulled up in front of the hotel driven by a chauffeur. AMAUTO-1 greeted SAMKO in front of the hotel and after exchanging a few words, they departed for a nearby restaurant. (SAMKO was too preoccupied to make note of the name of the restaurant. We decided against any surveillance during the AMAUTO-1/SAMKO meeting to avoid alerting AMAUTO-1 and/or his staff that the SAMKO visit to Madrid was pre-planned.)13. At lunch SAMKO and AMAUTO-1 again reminisced. They discussed the following:A. In one of his references, AMAUTO-1 said that men like him are needed in Cuba and noted that he would probably die fighting for Cuba which is young and aggressive, but that some day it will be a great country; that he has been fighting all his life to relieve the oppressed and repeated that he will die fighting.(It is interesting to note SAMKO's reaction herè to AMAUTO-1's statement. When SAMKO first visited AMAUTO-1 on 31 May, he was certain that under the facade of being a devoted revolutionary AMAUTO-1 was indeed a capitalist at heart, but at this meeting SAMKO modified his comment by adding that it appears AMAUTO-1 is truly a communist who maintains strong convictions of the righteousness of the revolution. The above comments by AMAUTO-1 produced the peg on which SAMKO could have questioned the veracity of AMAUTO-1's statement on freeing the oppressed, but he was not specifically instructed to maintain a polemic argument on the rights and wrongs of the revolution because we felt this objective was secondary to the re-establishment of a relationship between these two old friends, A future meeting might include the exchange of an objective appraisal of the revolution as seen by SAMKO.)B. AMAUTO-1 proposed that SAMKO act as an intermediary for the sale of Cuban sea food in the United States. He explained that the Cubans have a large fishing fleet in the Canary Islands. The fish caught is processed in the Canary Islands and can be shipped to the United States as a product of Spain, not of Cuba. AMAUTO-1 added, "SAMKO, you're like a father to me, please think about it (the agency)? AMAUTO-1 explained that SAMKO could earn about $200,000 a year in commission based on sales of $2,000,000. SAMKO said he would think about it, but privately to SACODER he said that he had no intention to disturb his retirement with a fishy business.

DISPATCH S-K-C-R-E-T OSMA - 26417C. SAMKO gave AMAUTO-1 a new Kennedy half-dollar which delighted AMAUTO-1.D. SAMKO told AMAUTO-1 that he expected AMAUTO-1 to be bigger than just an ambassador to Spain. He said, "I want you to get to the United Nations." SAMKO repeated his desire to show AMAUTO-1 his Florida home and spend a few days at the beach with him. AMAUTO-1 again was visibly moved with this idea.E. SAMKO restated that "Bill, you have a good friend, don't forget it. You are like a son."F. They exchanged addresses. SAMKO had printed his address, but AMAUTO-1 asked him to write it on another piece of paper. AMAUTO-1 reasoned that he wanted it written to understand it better, but we believe he will use the sample to compare it with letters SAMKO might send in the future. They promised to write to each other. SAMKO was given AMAUTO-1's private address, not that of the embassy.G. AMAUTO-1 regretted that SAMKO had to leave so soon because he would have enjoyed showing SAMKO the Spanish interior. SAMKO said he might consider returning near the end of 1970, but AMAUTO-1 did not say whether he would be in Spain in late 1970.H. AMAUTO-1 said he was suspicious when he first saw SAMKO noting that the nature and importance of his position make him act suspicious, but the suspicion soon dissipated - so he said.14. On saying their last goodbyes at the hotel, both men embraced and again promised to keep in touch through correspondence. At this point the operation was over. SAMKO was met late that evening. He was taken to a new safehouse.15. Accomplishments: We feel the objectives programmed and rehearsed were successfully fulfilled, perhaps far greater than our own expectations. Unless we are misjudging the shrewdness of AMAUTO-1 through our own naivete, we believe the relationship was sincerely re-established and a channel opened for future use by AMAUTO-1 should he desire to use this channel other than to maintain a friendly correspondence. It was unfortunate that his Barcelona trip interfered possibly to the point of SAMKO having one or two additional meetings with AMAUTO-1 nonetheless, in the six plus hours together, SAMKO admirably fulfilled our requirements and courageously maintained the fiction of his visit to Spain. We believe too, that although AMAUTO-1 appears to be solidly in favor of the Cuban regime, he did not criticize the United States which we feel he might have done had he suspected that SAMKO's visit to Madrid was sponsored by the U.S. Government. AMAUTO-1 has come a long way since his internship as a butcher in the United States andSECRET

DISPATCHprobably realizes that while he retains a prodigious role in the Cuban Government, he will continue to give his loyalty and devotion to the regime. At the same time, we feel, AMAUTO-1 is an opportunist and might take advantage of the SAMKO channel should the current regime come to an end or his own position jeopardized by the vengeful attitude of his colleagues.15. We would appreciate PACHANKIS doing the following:A. Purchase a dozen or so slides of Cape Kennedy and rocket launchings which will be sent to AMAUTO-1's son, Alexander.SAMKO should prepare a letter to AMAUTO-1 as soon as the purchase is made extending his appreciation to AMAUTO-1 for spending his valuable time with SAMKO and repeating his desire to help in any way possible and not to hesitate doing so.16. We again would like to extend to SAMKO our appreciation for his support and full cooperation. Also, our thanks to Miami and PACHANKIS for their fine support.![Signature of Howard R. SACODER]Howard R. SACODERP.S. AMAUTO-1 was recalled on 30 June 1970 and his future is uncertain at this time; therefore, we suggest that SAMKO not mail any letters or send any slides to AMAUTO-1 in Madrid.
