# DISPATCHChief, Western Hemisphere DivisionChief, European DivisionChief of Station, WH/MiamiChief of Station, MadridCUTINID QUDOZESonia GOMEZ Aragon, Cuban MINREX OfficialAR: None, FYI. Please assign 201 numberReferences:A. MADRID 0473B. WH/MIAMI 6576C. DIRECTOR 0113071. The following information about Subject's trip to Spain and her activities while here was obtained from QUI IM ID and QUDOZE.2. Subject arrived in Madrid on 10 February 1970. She traveled to Barcelona during the week of 23 February and returned to Madrid 6 March whereupon she then left for Portugal. She returned to Madrid on 17 March and waited for Guillermo R U I Z. Perez' return from the Spanish/Cuban Commercial nego- tiations in Cuba. Sonia departed Madrid for Cuba on 27 March 1970. It appears that she intended to travel to Vienna, Austria next, since several cables were sent to Vienna from Madrid advising Sonia's travel status. During her stay in Spain, Sonia was in frequent contact with one Jose Agustin GOYTISOLO Spanish writer in Barcelona, telephone 228-4063 (Station traces are OSBA 02385, 17 February 1965; OSBA 02718, 11 August 1967; and OSBA 02795, 1 March 1968). She was not known to have been in contact with any other locals and what little time she had for diversion she spent with the mission officers and their wives.Distribution:2 - C/WHD2 - C/EUR2 - COS, WH/Miami....continued
[104-10181-10011.pdf — page 45]
### 3. The purpose of Sonia's trip to Madrid was to discussthe 1970 work plan for the Embassy with the Charge, GuillermoRUIZ Perez. She also talked with the various Embassy officials,most probably to familiarize herself with their duties and tosee if they had any problems. She pitched in and helped withthe backlogged work of Orestes BARREDA and HoracioFUENTE Sand also helped with the cultural activities.For instance, she sent two cables to MINREX-one regardingthe forwarding of movie posters for a March exhibit and anotherregarding the forwarding of a Cuban stamp exhibition by endMarch.### 4. In their discussion of the 1970 work plan Sonia toldRUIZ that they were going to plan the February, March, andApril quarter. She showed him "an agenda for the control ofplanned and unplanned activities" and the general directives ofthe plan which included scientific information and politicalinformation, with specific directives (requirements) for Spain.RUIZ has to prepare for Havana a monthly report, then a quarterlysummary, of the activities accomplished. Eased on thesereports the activities of the following quarter wiil be planned.a. In line with the plan of scientificinformation, Sonia and RUIZ discussed the prosand cons of a Comite Cientifico-Tecnico whichis to be set up in Madrid. RUIZ was of theopinion that the local (Spanish) CommunistParty would try to infiltrate it and thiswould bring problems to the Embassy. Soniapointed out the successes encountered inSwitzerland and Sweden with such a committeeeven though at first there were problemswhich were later overcome.b. Sonia showed RUIZ a commercial projectwhich she planned to take to Portugal andasked him to read it because it was also ofinterest to the Cuban mission in Spain.c. Sonia mentioned that the Plan ofInformation was still to be completed especiallyin the priority categories of livestock andeconomy.d. They turned next to the topic ofthe budget. Sonia said that the budgetfor each mission had to be submitted beforethe end of April (every year) and no additionalexpenditures could be submitted for approvalduring the course of the year. Spain, Canada,and France, however, would be treated individually.Their special needs, such as acquisition ofmore office space, raises in cost of livingallowances, etc., would be taken into considerationat any time.
[104-10181-10011.pdf — page 46]
CONTINUATION OFDISPATCH SECRET OSMA - 263185. During their various discussions RUIZ aired his   complaint about the visa Department in Havana saying that   the department was practically worthless and that last your   76 cables regarding visas remained unanswered. Senia   defended the Ministry saying that it had a lot of work to   do, but RUIZ replied that they wanted to work only 8 hours   a day. They also discussed the scholarship situation. It   seems that during an interview between P R I E T O (Probably   Jose PRIETO Benitez, Director of Foreign Relations of   the DAP) and the Minister of Public Works, PRIETO was asked   to provide a list of scholarship candidates to be considered   and be had none. Sonia mentioned that in Belgium they also   lost four scholarships because of this same reason.6. According to QUTIMID Sonia GOMEZ Aragon is   married to one Miguel (LNU) and has a daughter named Iliana.   Sonia's mother is still living although appeared to be very   ill at the time Sonia left for her trip to Madrid because   Sonia cabled at least twice to Havana inquiring about the   Estatus of her mother's health. (TYLOTE reported that Sonia's   home phone number in Havana is 7-4263.) Perhaps Headquarters   can determine the full name of her husband by checking the..   reverse telephone listings: Sonia is attractive, intelligent,   sertious-minded and reserved. The last time she visited Spain   she stayed with Vera B O R O D O W S K I. and was on the sans   type of mission as the present one to discuss the Madrid   Embassy's work plan. She also visited the Barcelona Consulate   and the Cuban Embassy in Lisbon.Helen B. NOTHDURFT

Novisible identifying marks. Well dressed.PERSONALITY:Perhaps a relative's description of RUIZsums up his personality - "a man of manymoods." He has variously been describedas intelligent, mentally alert, competent,hardworking, and respected by his subordinates.Pleasant, easy going, nervous, quick-tempered,brusque but sincere, opinionated, strong-mindedidealistic, self-confident. Has basicemotional instability, gives impressionof being insecure in his position.

[104-10181-10011.pdf — page 49]
Orestes Guillermo RUIZ Perez## EDUCATION:He can turn on considerable charm, where motivated. In contrast to his pleasant public image and acceptable language, private conversation is vulgar, swears continually and flies into rages.Likes good living and spends money where it shows. Avid reader, keeps abreast of world events, shows willingness to accept whatever he deems to be good or useful from the outside world. Concerned with the image and prestige of Cuba in Spain. Emotionally committed to an ideal. An AMEDIT study summed RUIZ up as a realist. He speaks English and French. His wife, a teacher, always worked before going to Spain, and there works as a secretary and bookkeeper at the Embassy on an informal basis. intelligent, competent, outspoken but solicitious and affectionate with her husband; interested in, and. encourages him in his work. Appears to support the regime, but not a fanatic. Appears RUIZ is the dominant personality of the two.One reference states that he went to work at age 14, which suggests lack of formal education.In 1960 as an employee of the Ministry of the Treasury, selected to attend a statistics course offered by CEPAL, which lasted two years.One relative reported he completed elementary education at "Hermanos Maristas" school in Havana; did not know whether he attended high school, but said in early days of the Castro regime attended the University of

# Orestes Guillermo RUIZ PerezHavanaAnother relative said his primary and secondary education was received in private institutions, and that he has a degree in "political economics" from the University of Havana.He is well versed in world affairs and has an understanding of international trade.## PREVIOUS POSITIONS:Vice Minister, MINCEX, 1964-1967.Commercial Counselor, Cuban Embassy, Mexico City. Although he was accredited to that position in December 1963, travel indicates he was in Mexico from August 1963 to May 1964. Other references indicate he was in that position in September 1963.Ministry of the Treasury. In April 1962 he was Chief of the Department of Construction Expenses Studies, Office of Financial Statistics of that ministry. He was with the ministry as early as 1960, when he was selected to attend the statistics course.During the Batista regime he was in exile. Came to the J.S. sometime in the 1950's and apparently remained for some time before he left in February 1957, when, according to some reports, he entered Cuba clandestinely. Also reported to have been in exile in Mexico.LNYUMA records show he came to U.S. on 8 November 1956 to see his brother, left 17 November for the Dominican Republic where he received five months military training. Returned to the

Orestes Guillermo RUIZ Pérez## POLITICAL ATTITUDE:U.S. 5 April 1957, overstayed his time, and on 11 February 1958 was ordered deported; claimed he would be killed if he returned to Cuba and did not show for deportation. Subsequent investigation showed he was in Cuba as of 2 March.A member of the Cuban Communist Party, admitted on the recommendation of Armando HART Davalos, Secretary of Organization. Although he has been described as a militant Communist, a convinced *supporter of the Castro regime and a fanatic Fidelista*, there is evidence to dispute this image. An analysis of available information indicates that he is not a convinced Marxist, he cannot accept Party discipline, and that his character is basically incompatible with the system he serves.His father is reported to be an old- guard Communist and a leader of the barber's union. A brother reported to be a member of DSE in 1946.He expressed dissatisfaction with his position as a diplomat, feels his talents are wasted and would like a position in commerce or industry, where he considers he could better serve the revolution. Has criticized the bureaucracy and inefficiency in the government in Havana.He has said that many Cuban diplomats want to stay out of Cuba, but it seemed to him that the Cuban government wanted to keep him (RUIZ) out of the way (i.c., outside Cuba). That LEON had appointed him, supported him, and they are good friends, but that he (RUIZ) does not like to work with a man who one does not get to know, nor to know what he is thinking. He said he felt as if he were in Miami.

Orestes Guillermo RUIZ PerezINTELLIGENCECONNECTIONS:In Nay 1964 AMMUG-1 reported RUIZwas a DGI case officer in Mexico foroperations targetted against "some"nearby area," and later identifiedhis photograph as DGI member in Mexico.In 1961 an emigre said RUIZ, with theFinance Ministry, was a Communist andG-2.ANTIKI-1 said a letter from a friendin Cuba stated that RUIZ, then inMexico, was a member of G-2, sent to tryto infiltrate counterrevolutionarygroups (1963).In April 1968, RUIZ advised AristidesDIAZ Rovirosa on the use of disguises,the need to "live secretly" andcommented on DIAZ' being "alreadyclandestine."The Cuban Ambassador to Geneva, in1968, commented on RUIZ' refusal toaccept DGI dominance of the Cuban Embassy,Madrid. (AMDELAY-1). In July 1969,AMBEDEW-1 said RUIZ was very dictatorialin his dealings with DGI officers.CONTACTS:Not much is known of his contacts inMadrid, other than official.
