4.) OCCUPATION: Writer for Siempre and Politica magazines in Mexico City; both are effective Communist-lining magazines and have large circulations.5.) PHOTOGRAPH: Available in Subject's 201 file (date of photograph approximately October 1963).6.) POLITICAL AFFILIATIONS AND INCLINATIONS: As of 1962 Subject was the head of the National Press and Propaganda Committee of the National Liberation Movement (MLN) in Mexico City, a rabidly anti-U.S. and pro-Castro organization. Subject is close to Fidel Castro and company, and is considered as a Cuban "agent" (degree of Cuban control unknown).Subject was a founding member of the MLN. In an article in Siempre in March 1963 he advocated the foundation of a new political party reflecting the ideology of General Lazaro Cardenas, former President of Mexico. This would have provided, in his belief, the Mexican left a political organization truly responsive to the radical tendencies of the 1910 revolution. This was necessary because the MLN, whose membership covers the spectrum of Mexican Communist Party to PRI, could not take/political stands without antagonizing some of the membership. The new party would have represented a "third position", socialism in internal affairs and independence of any bloc in international affairs. With a party such as this as its political action arm, the MLN would have developed naturally into a broad national movement such the FRAP in Chile. (Some specious reasoning here).

8.) PASSPORT: formally carried, Subject Mexican passport number 57115, with Cuban courtesy visas. On 9 September 1963 Subject was issued Mexican passport number 56341 (or 53611).9.) ACTIVITIES: The reason for the October 1962 trip to Cuba was ostensibly to gather material for a political biography of Fidel Castro. The May/June 1963 trip was to interview Fidel Castro after his return from the Soviet Union. Subject claimed that he had spent eight days with Fidel during that visit, five of those aboard ship.In Panama CityOn 24 October 1963 HYSAGE-1 reported that Subject had received an operational assignment from Castro (during the May/June 1963 visit to Habana) on which to travel through Central and South America. His mission was to persuade leftist parties to immediately begin acts of sabotage and violence, and to try to maintain these in order to take pressure off Venezuela. Subject was also instructed to bring about better unity among competing leftist factions to ensure greater impact for their work. Subject did, in fact, contact many Communist Party and leftist leaders during his Central and South America travel during the period October 1963 - January 1964. From the (fregreeniday) reporting on subject now October 1965 Thiest, January 1964 it appiairs that he did discuss the question of ligitiinity.

10. In October 1964 the Guatemalan authorities captured a number of tape recordings from the guerrillas in operations subsequent to a (uerrilla attack on a garrison in Panzos, Alta Verapaz. Included in those tapes was one made by RICO Galan for delivery to the guerrillas. It consists mainly of an exhortation for unity (among the POT and the 13 November group) and counsel against letting doctrine replace action. The tape clearly reveals, RICO to be at once a very *intellectual*/leftist who also has his feet planted quite firmly on the ground. His approach is pragmatic, not theoretical, The text of the tape indicates that it was made sometime after/February and before mid-October 1964.11. There is little at hand to indicato what manner of man is RICO Galan, His 201 file reflects facts but not impressions. He apparently is known personally by LICOOKY-1 and LITAMIL-9 in Mexico City, and these two sources should be queried.

4 February 1965MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director, for PlansSUBJECT: Briefing of Reader's Digest Reporter1. The Mexico City Station has been requested by the Press Office of the Embassy to assist in briefing Mr. Robert Struthers, a roving reporter of the Reader's Digest, who is preparing an article on Cuban/Communist subversion in Latin America and who has expressed displeasure that the Embassy has been unable to provide any briefing on Communist activities in Mexico and Central America.2. Mexico City Station and WH Division feel that particularly since the Spanish edition of the Reader's Digest has a circulation of over two and one-half million copies, this is an excellent avenue for the otherwise planned surfacing of abundant information (including the existence of a tape recorded speech to Guatemalan guerrillas, recently captured) on Victor RICO Galan, an active Cuban agent and a regular contributor of the weekly leftist magazine, SIEMPRE.3. A briefing on the activities of Victor RICO Galan and a replay of the tape has already been given officially in Guatemala during the January meeting of the Security Ministers of Central America. No press play has yet been made.4. CA/Propaganda defers to you for a policy decision. There are no RI traces on Mr. Robert Struthers. Struthers is favorably known to Mr. Paul Chretien's office which has personality and professional data on him.5. WH Division recommends that you release the attached cable.Raford W.
