SECRETCase 46,632 -5- NO-16-6617 January 1966that in 1960, while on a trip to Montreal for a medical meeting, Dr. Bustamante took a large sum of money and his wife's jewels with him and deposited them in safekeeping somewhere in Mexico. The source of this particular information is Dr. Hector Weltz, a former close friend and confidant of Bustamante. Dr. Woltz still lives in Cuba and is described as being anti-Castro.16. Dr. Fernandez-Conde states that Bustamante is intelligent, industrious, well-grounded in his profession, gregarious, able to make and carry out decisions, but is not a particularly forceful person. He is insincere, devious, a physical coward, and inordinately afraid when his life is in danger. He has many personality complexes. He seldom drinks and boasts about his abstemiousness where liquor is concerned. He may occasionally drink a glass of port or vermouth if the situation demands it. Maria Luisa drinks but not to excess. Neither is addicted to dope. Harle Luisa's Achilles heel is her overprotective attitude towards her son, Jose, Jr. Both Dr. and Mrs. Bustamante are opportunists, love money and power, and will go along with the regime so long as it serves their best interests to do so. They have already taken the precaution of depositing cash and valuables abroad to use in the event of the overthrow of the Castro government and the need for them to flee Cuba. Very little exact information is available about the state of Maria Luisa's health. Jose, Sr. is described as being in good health. He suffers continually from flat feet and is known to have undergone a hemorrhoidectomy in the distant past.17. Dr. Bustamante has only three close friends in Cuba. They are all Communists. They are the following individuals:a. Dr. Leopoldo Araujo-Bernal, President of the Colegio Medico Nacional de Cuba, Havana,b. Dr. Carlos Acosta-Nodal, practicing psychiatrist in Havana,c. Dr. Oscar Garcia Fernando, practicing physician in Havana.Almost all of the doctors left in Cuba are anti-Communist and are violently opposed to Bustamante. The following two such individuals would be able to provide detailed background information on Bustamante:a. Dr. Raul de Velasco Guzman, former President of the Colegio Medico Nacional de Cuba (1956-1959), 3rd Avenue between 10th and 12th Streets, Miramar, Havana. Dr. de Velasco has a sister and a son (Raul) now in Miami. Raul, Jr. is in his third year in the Medical School of the University of Miami.b. Dr. Jorge Beato, Paseo Street and 17th Street, Vedado, Havana.18. Dr. Fernandez-Conde suggests that the following individuals should be able to provide vital information on Dr. Bustamante or Mrs. Bustamante. With one exception, they are now living in the US.a. Dr. Fidel Aguirre, 730 Livingstone Road, Elizabeth, New Jersey, telephone --289-9000. Dr. Aguirre was formerly President of the Havana Medical Association. He will be able to provide background and professional information on Dr. Bustamante.

Case 46,632-6-NO-16-5517 January 1965b. Dr. Enrique Huertas Pozo, now President of the Colegio Medico Cubano Libre (Cuban Medical Association in Exile). His address is 213 Arragon Avenue, Coral Gables, Floride. His unlisted telephone number is He 5-7500. Ho, too, will be able to provide all types of Information on Dr. Bustamante.c. Dr. /fnu/ Scarizza, Rome, Italy. Dr. Scarizza is an Italian national, once lived in Cuba, but now practices psychiatry in Rome. During his residence in Cuba, he was the analyst used to psychoanalyze those Cuban medical students who expected to specialize in psychiatry. He had Dr. Bustamante under analysis for more than a year and therefore sliould have unique insight into this patient's personality problems. Dr. Scarizza on several occasions mentioned to Dr. Fernandez-Conde how much trouble he was having with Bustamante during his analysts. Bustamante frequently missed their sessions of treatment although he always pald for the professional services.d. Hr. and Mrs. Enrique Leon, New York City. Mr. Leon is a lawyer and now [^1] works in the New York office of Julio Lobo, who was so prominent in the busines life of Cuba before the Castro regime. Mrs. Leon is the former Rosario Rexach. Mr. and Mrs. Leon were probably the closest friends Bustamante had before 1959/1960. They were members with him of the Ala Izquierda and she was a former President of the Liceo. They are no longer Communists. They left Cuba in early 1960 for permanent residence in the US.e. Mrs. Conchita Castaneda, 716 Fife Avenue, Wilmington, Ohio 45177. Mrs. Castaneda is a Quaker (one of the few in Cuba) and is now [^2] teaching in the Quaker High School in Wilmington. She was Maria Luisa's closest friend and confidante and lived with her. She should be able to provide detalled information about Maria Luisa's personal life, about Bustamante's extramarital affairs, and their effect on Maria Luisa's life.f. A Cuban national who left Cuba In late 1961 for permanent residence in the US. Dr. Fernandez-Conde cannot recall his name, but will obtain his name and address from one of his friends in the US. This Individual was believed to have been a member of the underground movement in Cuba and in March 1961 he was Interrogated by Bustamante in a series of interviews at the G-2 prison at 5th Avenue and 14th Street, Miramar, Havana. He would be able to describe Bustamante's performance in this capacity.19. Dr. Fernandez-Conde will be very glad to clarify any statements in his. discussion of Dr. Bustamante or to amplify them if requested. In addition, he promises to obtain the current street address of Mr. and Mrs. Leon, the name and address of the individual who was brainwashed by Dustamante, and possibly. Or. Scarizza's first name and street address in Rome. We will forward this information as it is received.SECRET[^1]: 19667[^2]: 1966/

# Case 45532 - Final Details Identifying Additional Sources of Information on Dr. Jose Angel Bustamante O'Leary110-83-668 March 19661. Dr. Augusto Fernandez-Conde has notified us that the New York City address of Dr. and Mrs. Enrique Leon Soto is 310 East 70th Street, Apartment 9K, and their telephone number is LE-50170. Mrs. Soto is the former Rosario Rexach. Dr. and Mrs. Soto were Incorrectly Identified in paragraph 18 d. of N0-16-66 of 17 January 1966 as Mr. and Mrs. Enrique Leon.2. Unfortunately, Dr. Fernandez-Conde's efforts to learn the name and US address of the Cuban national mentioned in paragraph 18 f. of N0-16-65 of 17 January 1966 were unsuccessful. He states that Pepita Riera, who is now a radio commentator in Miami, was once a patient of Dr. Bustamente and knew him very well. She also has some knowledge of the brainwashing activities engaged in by Drs. Bustamante, Carlos Acosta-Modal, and Abdo Canasi at the Cuban G-2 headquarters in Havana. He suggests that she may also be able to identify the Cubans who were brainwashed by Bustamante et al and who are now available for Interview in the US. Miss Riera's address is Box 516, Coral Gables, Florida.3. This completes the contributions made by Dr. Fernandez-Conde in satisfying the requirements of case 46632.

There are still competent psychiatrists in Cuba, particularly Dr. Jose Angel Bustamente, who reportedly monitors certain electro-shock treatments currently in Cuba.I do not believe he is receiving electro-shock treatments because it would be too soon since the reports of treatments came to have received in October 1965. Based on my long professional experience, I believe that in cases of mental difficulties following such a series of electro-shock treatments would best be handled by medication. There are a number of medications which could be used and which are available in Cuba.CONFIDENTIAL

VAIVADAAction Requested: None1.  During his recent visit to Headquarters, Subject was asked by one of the Staff members if he would be interested in, and available for, recruitment approaches in various Latin American countries. Since Subject has a fine record in CP penetration work (i.e., his outstanding job in handling HUKAROID-3 operation in Costa Rica and his efforts in the CP pene-tration program in Cuba), it is believed that he would be an effective recruiter of possible CP defectors.2.  Subject stated that he was keenly interested in, and would like to engage in, such operations and would welcome the opportunity of being asked to hit a well-chosen target in any Spanish-speaking Latin American country.3.  The foregoing discussion with Subject was informal and without commitment on either side. However, the Station is being alerted to the possibility that Subject may be requested to perform such approaches at such time then worthwhile recruitment in-place CP targets are developed, or otherwise arise in other countries. Nevertheless, any such action origi-nating at Headquarters or at any other Station, will of course be subject to Station’s consideration and approval beforehand, depending on his availability in reference to his work in Project AMPHODARCH, etc.28 May 1957Distribution:3 - Habana 1-WH/Cuba/Chrono1 - RI 1- Subject2-WH/Mailroom J.
