# 2025 RELEASE UNDER THE PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 1992TO: WKHFM: AMSRE: ZRRIFLE3 July 19621. Per our discussion of 2 July 1962, I.expect that we shall proceed to transfer QJWIN to Baden-Baden per the proposal in OLLA-1463 dated 2 February 1962. LUXE/0489 dated 19 June 1962 stated that COS would have the full details of the capital outlay required by 23 June; however, the information has not been received as of 3 July. The last cable to the Station, DIR 18321 told COS to contact you directly on his arrival on 16 July.2. With regard to candidates spotted by QJWIN, the two whom he spotted in Italy a year and a quarter ago can probably be used if needed, if we can accept the assessments of them by the Trieste Base contract agent, Magonetti. Magonetti's assessment is contained in OTRA 27542 dated 10 May 1961. The names of the two French candidates are contained in QL1A, 1426 dated 15 December 1961. No action has been taken on these names regarding tracing or anything else. My handwritten notes attached to that dispatch contain fuller descriptions of the two people than appear in the dispatch.3. The other spotting effort that can be made is through Hank Manfredi (TN) in Rome, lank was well briefed on the qualifications desired and the security precautions to be observed in the spotting activity. COS Rome has a copy of the qualifications and restrictions in his safe; however, if Manfredi is told to proceed with his contact in Florence, I suggest that he be re-briefed in detail.4. Frankly, all the rest of the paper in the file is crud except for the pay receipts which are assembled in one envelope. I have already given the ZRRIFLE authorization paper signed by Helms and Skip has been given the QJWIN contract, including the extension to 1 March 1963.5. The details which have yet to be worked out area. The precise method of contact with QJWINb. The system of drawing funds for payments to himc. An emergency contact for him (this should probably be COS LUXE).RETURN TO CIA Background Use Only Do Not Reproduce

An airline passenger manifest revealed that one Osvaldo    RELOVA Penichet, probably identical with the above Subject,    left Mexico for Habana on 8 July 1963 and was the holder    of Cuban passport number D/63/415.2.  An official Jamaican source in a report dated 16 October 1963,    stated that Osvaldo RELOVA, the First Secretary of the    Cuban Embassy in Canada, arrived in Kingston on 14 October 1963.    He was in Kingston for one week and lived at the Cuban    Consulate office. RELOVA was reportedly making an inspection    trip. RELOVA was born on 13 August 1930, in Habana. His    home address was given as 15M 2419 Santa Fe, Habana. He    carried Cuban passport number D/63/415, issued in Habana    on 17 June 1963.## SECRETNO FOREIGN DISSEN| STATE | DIA      | ARMY   | NAVY | AIR | NSA | IXXY | CCR | FBI 2 || ----- | -------- | ------ | ---- | --- | --- | ---- | --- | ----- || REP   | CINCLANT | CINCSO | I&NS |     |     |      |     |       |(Note: Field distribution indicated by "#".)|        | /SA/EOD  VE/5/R                    | CI/LIA   | 1 IE(CANADA)  | LX-1650            || ------ | ---------------------------------- | -------- | ------------- | ------------------ ||        | /SA/JOB VE/MADR                    | 2 CI/R&A | 3 LE(BRITISH) | NO PROJECT(AMMUG/1 ||        | /SA/R                              |          | L/WASHABR     | CSCI-313//00704-64 ||        | /SA/CI                             |          | RID/AN        |                    ||        | EL/WAVE                            |          |               | COORDINATING:      || TOTALS | WH/SA 7 (1), WE 1 (2), CI 4, RID 1 | LIAISON: | MIK:LD:swk    |                    ||        |                                    |          |               | C/R&A              |201-73713S

3. In a report dated 19 October 1963, source unknown, it was stated that one Osvaldo RELOVA Penichet was appointed administrator of "Envases del Cerro, S.A." firm, located at Calzada del Cerro Avenue, Habana.4. A fairly reliable source, in a report dated 23 October 1963, revealed that Osvaldo RELOVA, First Secretary of the Cuban Embassy in Canada, left Kingston for Toronto on 21 October 1963, on TCA flight number 885.5. An official Canadian sourced, in a report dated 26 November 1963, said that Osvaldo RELOVA Penichet, born on 13 August 1930, was not the First Secretary of the Cuban Embassy in Canada as previous reports stated. Rather, RELOVA, who was a frequent visitor to Canada, traveled as an "Embassy Inspector." He carried Cuban Diplomatic passport D/63/415 with Mexican visa number OF-7090; he had no Canadian visa. The address on his passport was given as 15/3 number 2419, Santa Fe Banch (sic), Habana. RELOVA entered Canada on 16 August 1963, destined to visit Jesus YANES Rodriguez, Cuban Commerical Attache in Montreal. He departed Canada for Mexico on 25 August 1963, in the company of Alberta MENDUCA.6. A former Cuban Intelligence officer who has been living in the United States since 1963 and whose reporting over the past nine months has proven reliable, gave the following information on 21 July 1964, on Osvaldo RELOBA Penechet (presumably identical with RELOVA):   In early 1961, RELOBA was an administrator of a section of the Consolidated Hardware Stores and annexes. In late 1961 he went to see source to get help with an investigation on a Mr. BARRAL, Administrator of the Consolidated (sic). RELOBA was requesting source's aid in the belief that source was still working for G-2; source did not tell him otherwise. RELOBA is a new Communist who wants to be more than MARX.and. is trying to instruct everyone around him. Source said that RELOBA was born about 1934, is 164 pounds, five feet nine inches in height, has a medium thin build, a long face, and a long thin neck. He has dark eyes, black hair, is partially bald, and has a small, thin mustache.SECRETNO FOREIGN DISSEN

Although source saw Julian NOVAS Fernandez at the Cuban   Embassy in Mexico City in March 1964, the records of this   Agency reveal that source was probably in error in   assuming that NOVAS was assigned to that Embassy and   it is more likely that he was just passing through.   The following traces by this Agency is the basis for   this conclusion.[^2][^4]2. An official Jamaican source, in a report dated 24 March 1964,   stated that Julian NOVAS Fernandez arrived in Kingston,   Jamaica, on 18 March 1964, to take up his duties at the   Cuban Consulate in Kingston as Commercial Attache. Source   said that NOVAS has the appearance of an American and   speaks excellent English. Since his arrival he has been   especially occupied with girls.

His wife did not accompany him and source speculated that her arrival may be delayed in view of NOVAS' present inclination for feminine diversion.3.  In a report dated March 1964, this same source said that Julian NOVAS Fernandez, the Cuban Commercial Attache at the Cuban Consulate in Kingston, Jamaica, was born on 2 September 1938, in Habana, Cuba. He carried diplomatic passport D/64/50 which was issued in Habana on 20 February 1964. His home address was given as Carman No. 18, Vibora. He arrived in Kingston from Mexico on 18 March 1964, on Mexicana Flight Number 305.4.  This same source, in a report dated 28 April 1964, stated that the wife of Julian NOVAS Fernandez, the recently arrived Cuban Commercial Attache, arrived in Kingston on 22 April 1964, via Mexico. Her name is Amarilis Karta VALDES Hijuelos and she was born on 19 May 1937, in Jiquani, Oriente, Cuba. VALDES has been indisposed since her arrival in Kingston; this is probably due to her advanced pregnancy. Her home address in Cuba is Avenida 31, Number 3622, Habana. She carried diplomatic passport D/01/239, issued in Habana on 9 April 1964.5.  This same source, in a report dated 9 May 1964, noted that the salary and allowances of the new Cuban Commercial Attache, Julian NOVAS Fernandez, suggests that he is the new Cuban Intelligence Service chief in Jamaica, succeeding Gerardo SANCHEZ Robert.SECRETNO FOREIGN DISSEM
