# United States territorial waters. REUTENAN advised MUCARION-1that KUILARK had played no role in mounting a provocation operationagainst the GOC. At the same time, REUTISIAN pointed out thatit was highly unlikely that CUIROLA was a GOC agent. As a resultof this conversation, arrangements were made for JLWAVE to checkout cortain aspects of the GUIROLA story. At the same time,AMCARDON-1 was provalled upon not to write a story which sightlead the public to speculate on whether GUIROLA was an agent or aplant in a propaganda play denigned to embarrass the GOC,## 7. PROPAGANDA OUTLET.ANCARDON-1 has been used successfully,during the period covered by this report, as a propaganda catletthrough which items of interest to KUDARK could be surfaced inthe free world press. Examples of how AMCARDON-1 has been harnessedin this field are outlined below:### a. ANGRAD-1.The ANCRAB-1 defection story originallysurfaced in the Man area on 13 October 1903 via the Diario delas Amoricas, which played up an API release from Hontevideo.The API Montevideo story highlighted ANCRAB-1's informationrelative to GOC activities in Uruguay. The story in the Diariode las Amoricas had an extremely limited impact on Spanish readersin the Miami aron. As a result, it was decided to do a seriesof feature stories on AMCRAE-1, pointing up the fact that ALCRAB-1was typical of the voterans of the Granma oxpedition, who feltthey had been betrayed by CASTRO and had boon relegated to position8of obscurity once the revolution had put CASTRO in power. ALCALDON-1was briefed in dotail on the ALCRAB-1 story, and he was given inopportunity to debrief ANCRAB-1 under controlled conditions in aJUWAVE safehouse. After completing his dobriefing, ALCALIDA-1wroto a series of feature articles on ANCRAB-1. The first articlein the series received front page headlino play. The series ofarticles on AMCRAB-1 wore well written, and they provided anexcollent pog for JMWAVE to Bount a replay operation via otherpropaganda assets. AUCARDAM-1's story on AMCRAB-1 wan picked upby UPI, API and othors, and it was played throughout Latin America.The details of this surfacing can be found in WAVE 5826, dated14 October 1963, WAVE 6092, dated 19 October 1963; and, WAVE 8174,dated 21 October 1903.### b. Charles GRIFFIN Shrimp Boat Story.On 26 February 1964JMWAVE learned that when Mr. Charles CHIFFIN's sons went to Cubato reclaim tho hijacked shrimp boat, JOINNY REB, they found thatselect items were missing from the bont when it it was turned overto them. It was bolioved that this information would make a goodhuman interost story which JUWAVE assets could use to counter COCpropaganda claims that United States officials had stolen itensfrom the Cuban fishing boats which had violated United Statestorritorial waters. In view of this opinion, a steering tip vasgiven to AMCARDON-1 to have the Identity 3 representative inKey West interview Mr. GRIFFIN. This interview was carried out,and an articlo outlining the points which wore of interest toJMWAVE was published in the 27 February 1964 edition of theIdentity 3.### c. LAYC Story.The March 1964 LAYC mooting in Santiago,Chile, was not receiving appropriate coverage in the South Floridanewspapers; as a result, REUTELAN contacted AMCARDON-1 on 5 March1964 and suggested that the LAYC meeting was a story which theIdentity 3 should pursue. AMCARBON-1 was grateful for this steeringtip, and he assigned the task of preparing the story on the LAYCto one of the mombers of his staff. A story on the LAYC wassubsequently published in the 6 March 1964 edition of the Identity 3(COMMENT: Copies of the articles cited in subparagraphs a throughc above are attached for Headquarters information.)
