CONTINUATION OFDISPATCHCLASSIFICATIONSECRETRYBATDISPATCH SYMBOL AND NUMBERHMMA-364312. The LIENVOYs had originally requested that five (5) of their men be trained. However, upon arrival in Mexico City and just prior to the scheduled beginning of the training they requested that they be permitted to add one man and that two men be included in the class from the Direccion Federal de Seguridad (DFS). In the latter case, they submitted three names but said that only two of the three would be expected to attend the class. As it turned out all three of the latter group turned up, thus bringing the class to nine (9) students, five (5) Army officers, one civilian from the LIENVOY group, and the three DFS men. Following is a list of the trainees:(1) Felix LOZANO Rangel. DFS, age 35.(2) Javier MANCERA Fuentes, DFS, age 33.(3) Esteban GUZMAN Salgado, DFS, age 33.(4) Leonardo LOPEZ y LOPEZ, age 23.(5) Felipe TREJO Gonzalez, Lt. Col., Mexican Army, age 46.(6) Mariano CHANTRES Molina, Captain, Mexican Army, age 39.(7) Ladislao SALINAS Alor, Captain, Mexican Army, age 31.(8) Jorge MARGAIN Ortiz, Captain, Mexican Army, age 29.(9) Rogelio Rafael GARZA Hernandez, Lieutenant, Mexican Army, age 26.3. The training objective of the program was to familiarize the trainees with the basic tradecraft principles and techniques involved in the conduct of clandestine activities, with primary emphasis on the work and activities of security services. Although largely tutorial in nature, numerous exercises were conducted in Mexico City, including two live problems which will becexplained later in this dispatch, to further familiarize the trainees with the techniques involved in surveillance, counter-surveillance, personal meetings, deaddrops, interrogation, and investigation. The course included discussion and reading material on opposition to clandestine activities, organization and functions of a security service. personal, physical and organization security; cover, concealment and compartmentation, as well as the basic operational skills of observation, description, casing, surveillance, and elicitation and interviewing. Considerable time was spent on reporting and clandestine communications, as well as on agent acquisition and agent handling.4. With the agreement of LITEMPO-12 (who said verbally that he had consulted with LITENPO-4) and LIENVOY-2, the three DFS trainees detained Hector SENTIES Rodriguez, who is known to have had clandestine contact with the Soviets, for interrogation. He was detained on the street near his home on the early morning of 4 February 1969 and interrogated throughout the day at a motel, the Palo Alto, located at Km 14 on the Mexico City-Toluca highway. The other six (6) trainees were able to overhear the entire inter- rogation but did not actually take part for security reasons. They did not see SENTIES, nor did the latter see them. In line with the discussions and reading material, this live interrogation was of great value to them. Also. on 3 February 1969 LIENVOY-2 passed along to MYLECHRAINE a good lead concerning Carlos PEREZ Aguirre, a young Mexican who also has contact with the Soviets and Cubans.
