Addonda, 17 January 1967, at Headquarters1. My offer to Rico Calan (para 4) to pay him for an article he might write for CORRISPONDENZA SOCIALISTA was made at the suggestion of LIENVOT/2.2. The only time Rico asked me not to quote his (in any article I might write) was after he had finished telling me that Castro was too dependent on the Russians (para 8). Of course, I agreed. Also, Rico qualified his comment that Castro was a great leader by saying Castro vas unpredictable; he would say one thing one day and do something different the next day.3. Regarding the abrupt ending of the meeting after just one hour (para 10) I think it is probable that this came about through an order coming down from LITEMPO/8.4. General Commont: I was given a fairly rough time by the authorities at the Locumberri penitentiary. The Director told me in no uncertain terms that I could not bring a bottle of whiskey to Rico which I had in ay ALITALIA bag. On my way to the main reception area where the interview was held, I had to go through several offices and guards. At one point I was asked for my passport and the guards were quite indignant when I told them that I had left my passport at the hotel. When I showed then ay Italian calling card instead, they were not at all satisfied but let me pass on to the next processing point. Then I was taken to a private cell for a body search. I also had to sign in and out, presumably like any other visitor to the penitentiary.5. The above incidents, though unpleasant for no at the time, indicato that LITENPO/8 had not made the Lecumberri authorition witting of ay true mission.L. A. DeSantiOffice of HA/3A0

19 January 1967MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORDSUBJECT: LEEHOLD'S Contacts with LIENVOY/3 on Rico Galan case, Mexico City, 11-13 January 67REFERENCE: Mexico City 9890 (IN 75995), 11 Jan 671. Reference reported that the Mexico City Station put LIENVOY/2 in telephone contact with the undersigned on 11 January. Following is a full account of ay subsequent contacts with LIENVOY/2 on 12-13 January on the Rico Galan case. L/2 served as out-out between the Station and LITEMPO/8 in arranging my interview with Rico Galan at the Lecumberri penitentiary on 13 January.2. The evening of 11 January 1/3 phoned as at my hotel and asked to see mo the next morning; he suggested having breakfast together at my hotel at 0830. Но came on time and we spent about an hour together. He stated that his purpose was to find out for LITENDO/8 what my cover story and detailed plan were for the interview with Rico. At the outset he wanted to know whether I was an American or Italian citizen. Eo must also have been curious about my exact relationship with the Agency, but did not probe at all, and of course I refrained from volunteering any info,3. L/3 sened satisfied with my cover as an Italian Journalist on a tour of Latin America for the Rome periodical, CORRISPONDENZA SOCIALISTA. He approved also of the idea of my mentioning Carlo Coccioli to Rico as a follow journalist who had asked me in Italy in Deceaber to pay Rico a visit during ay forthcoming trip to Mexico. 1/2 ехргеssed the view, however, that it was rather unlikely that Rico would agree to sec ne. He said in Mexico prisoners in general and especially Rico, were very suspicious and rarely wanted to see strangers in prison. He then gave me a briefing ba

-2-Rico which painted Rico as an extremely evil and clever character, who did not possess one ounce of sincerity, and who would never cease being a Marxist revolutionary, for stripped of his Marxist propaganda weapons Rico vas a nobody and Rico did not want to be a nobody.4. I told L/2 briefly of my successful experience with a similar caso in the Philippines. He commented that it vas easier to be successful in the Philippines "for the lovel of Culture there, perhaps, is not as high as here."5. Wo parted with the understanding that L/3 would phone ne at the C03's office later that morning after his Eseting with LITEMPO/8. When he called, at about 11:00, 1/2 said LITEMPO/8 liked the cover story and the plan but be wanted to increase the chances that Rico would soo me through the following maneuver. LI/8 wanted to send Elena Garro Do PAZ (the same woman who had brought out Rico's signod statement of his willingness to tell all in return for his freedom) to Rico carrying my calling card and an issue of my periodical; she would thon persuade Rico to 800 20.6. During a later phone conversation with L/2 I polated out the risk involved in bringing Elena Garro into the operation. (The Station's position was definitely against her involvement). Being wealthy, influential, unpredictable and uncontrollable, Elona Garro, I pointed out, night make a phone call to the periodical in Rome and expose our hand. L/3 reported back to L1/3, who agreed with our position. 1/8 then came up with the idea of my writing a lotter of introduction for Rico and requesting an interview. I agreed to this schome. Later that evening I received instructions froa 1/2 that at 11:00 the next moraing I should go to the office of the Director of Locusberri penitentiary and request to see Rico. The previous day 1/2 had stated that LITELO/A wanted to go over the "whole agenda" sitt so before I wont to see Rico, but plans apparantely changed and I did not have any contact with LITEMPO/8.7. At the meeting with Rico I personally handed Rico the lotter of introduction, and got it back from him aftor be bad read it. In the alddle of our interview Rico naked zo have the letter again and I banded it to his. Hy plan bad boen not to have the letter end up in Rico's hands if possible, but the abrupt ending of the meeting prevented by gotting it back. During the briefing of 1/2 by the COS and

ne after my meeting with Rico, we asked that LITEMPO/8 try to get this lettor back from Rico through the penitentiary authorities.
