SECRET-3-a. Che Guevara, to whom ho was very close. ANTRUNK-19's wife, who used to be a secretary to the wife of Raul CASTRO, has all but dissassociated herself from revolutionary activity. She was formerly very active.b. Jone MASIP Isalgue, another cousin, is still writing for the Cuban Institute of the Theatre. He remains very pro-Communist.c. Antonio MASIP Isalgue, another cousin, is presently in East Germany studying. He cannot return to Cuba. He previously studied and/or worked in the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia and Poland.d. Certain fruits which are grown in Cuba, but were heretofore exported and unavailable locally, are now plentiful. On occasions they are given free to the public in the local markets. On the other hand, canned Soviet goods, which were plentiful before, are now almost non-existent.e. The Isle of Pines was closed and the 50,000 prisoners have been transferred to the mainland to work on farms.f. A live-and-let-live attitudo has been adopted by the Castro Government in relation to the opponents of the regime. Persecution is falling off.g. Marta's husband, Fernando de ROJAS, was sent to Matanzas following the CUBELA/GUIN wrap up, and was interrogated, but was exonerated from any implication, and returned to La Cabana,h. During Karta's conversations with her husband prior to her leaving Cuba, the two PINEIRO agents joined in the talk without being in any way oppressive, and encouraged Marta and her husband to suggest ways in which "the system" might be improved.5. ANSTALK-1 was asked about the possibility of Marta's providing additional information or support, and if she might consent to entoring into contact with an American. The agent made it clear that she was frightened by what the implications of the message she had brought out for AMSTALK-1 might be, and had no intention of getting any further involved in clandestino relationships, since both her husband, and adopted mother (mother of ALLSTALK-1) were still in a dangerous position. AMSTALK-1 was instructed to review the message he had received, talk again with his cousin, Marta, and add whatever he could to amplify the available information in this matter.SECRET

Miguel: In the last years of the revolutionary process we have been in contrary positions and, at times, our acts have affected your decisions to oppose us by serving third interests. The struggle has had its ups and downs, but without a doubt, the weight is now in our favor.Your decision to oppose us, I repeat, drove you to resort to using your *family* and *friends*; who have been progressively rolled up, such as Fernando, Carlos, Ramon, Gina and others. Since this is a war to the death, as far as we are concerned, our strength permits us the luxury of not retaliating indiscriminately. But our accounts are not paid and you must understand that in this type of struggle, there must be an eventual clearing of accounts.Miguel, you know that we have concrete proof against persons close to you, against whom, until this time, we have not acted. These persons, in additions to the crime for which they are directly responsible, have dedicated themselves ultimately to the violation of many other laws of the country; the stimulus and example you have set in this matter has made you responsible for this. Even in light of the foregoing or any other of your economic or social needs, we ought to exchange opinions.Our proposition is: To have a meeting in Canada or Spain, where we would discuss the entire situation with the intent of forgetting the past and examining present realities.To let us know of your decision to go to one or another of the countries, send a cable to the address which is appended. If you will go to Canada, sign it Enrique, if Spain, Guillermo. Send this cable a month prior to your departure. When you arrive in the chosen country, send another cable indicating your exact location and contact instructions. If you are unable to go to either of the countries mentioned above, write an open text letter explaining why you can't, and an alternate suggestion.Remember Miguel, that others depend on your decision. For this reason we recommend you be discreet. The bearer can add some details to our proposition.You decide if the war is to continue. Some of we old fig' who remember you prefer that it does not.Arturo PITA Rov

COBFIELD and RAMSKILL had a second meeting with AMSTALK-1 at S/H 316. An enlargement of the message which was concealed in the crucifix and brought to Miami from Cuba by the cousin of AMSTALK-1 was shown to AMSTALK-1. He read the message and the English translation, commenting that the English coincided with his own interpretation.2. AMSTALK-1's reaction to the contents of the letter was mild and he did not appear too concerned about the threats to his family (paragraphs 2 and 3). He stated that he did not recognize the name at the bottom of the letter (Arturo PITA Rey) and commented that from talks with his cousin he believed the real sender of the letter was Manolo PINIERO "Barba Roja" (Director of the DGI), and that the name and address was probably an accomodation address used by the Cuban Intelligence Service.3. AMSTALK-1 identified the names in Paragraph 2 as follows:Fernando - Fernando de ROJAS - husband of AMSTALK-1's cousin, Marta (the source of the message) presently serving a 30 year jail sentence in Havana. Fernando de ROJAS was described by AMSTALK-1 as a fanatical Catholic.Carlos - Carlos PEDRAZA - husband of Gina ISALGUE who is AMSTALK-1's aunt and also in jail.Ramon - Ramon GUIN member of former AMTRUNK net and connected with Rolando CUBELA presently sentenced to Isle of Pines Prison.Gina - Gina ISALGUE sister of ANSTALK-1's mother and wife of Carlos PEDRAZA, presently in jail.SECRET

ANSTALK-1 agreed to follow whatever course of action we wished, i.e. in terms of answering the letter, not answering it, arranging a meeting according to the instructions contained in the message, or other.

CORFIELD 1-REG w/o attsSUBJECT: May 1, 1967 Meeting with ANSTALK-1 Concerning Recruitment Proposal He Received.1. For the meeting AMSTALK-1 prepared the attached material. Attachment 1 is a type written report by AMSTALK-1 of events which took place in Cuba between his cousin, Marta ISALQUE Rodriguez de ROJAS, and Manolo PINEIRO and his representatives. Attachment 2 is a message written by ANSTALK-1 and addressed to PINEIRO containing his thoughts regarding a possible answer. (The message has not been sent by AMSTALK-1, and he will not take any action without our concurrence.)2. On April 30, 1967 ANSTALK-1 met with his cousin. According to his cousin, the only persons, who know about the crucifix, and the conversations about it and the message, are Manolo PINEIRO, MENENDEZ and the other representative of PINEIRO inside Cuba; and AMSTALK-1 and herself in Miami. She told AMSTALK-1 that none of the conversation about the crucifix or the message took place in the presence of her husband, at the jail, and that MENENDEZ and the other PINEIRO Representative, specifically cautioned her not to reveal anything about the subject to anyone including members of the Cuban G-2, security etc. To her knowledge no one else knows about the subject. As a sidelight she told AMSTALK-1 that MENENDEZ had informed her that unless she cooperated with then and agreed to carry and deliver the message, she would not be permitted to leave Cuba; but that the other individual with MENENDEZ, interrupted at this point and told her that she would be permitted to leave whether or not she agreed to do as they asked.3. ANSTALK-1 also stated that his cousin told him that she had not been asked by PINEIRO, or his representatives, or anyone else, to carry any other messages or do anything else for then in the U.
