# RETURN TO CIABackground Use OnlyDo Not Reproduce15 February 1965MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORDSUBJECT: Meeting with AMLASH-1 in Paris,31 January to 3 February 19651. AMLASH-1 returned from Rome to Paris on 31 Jan 1965 and was net for a very brief meeting the same night by ONTRICH in order to arrange a meeting for the following day. The following subjects were discussed at the two meetings on 1 and 2 February 1965:a. The primary reason for again meeting AMLASH-1 before his planned return to Cuba was to brief him on the security implications involved in the infiltration and possible capture of Modesto Orlando Orozco Basulto AKA Pebo Orozco, who infiltrated into Cuba on 21 Dec 1964. Orozco, according to his wife, went to Cuba to rescue (Jose Vasquez Kerey) and three others who were hiding in the home of a woman named Gloria Cabrera, who lived at (No. 7227th Street), between (N & O, Apartment 3, Vedado), Havana.Orozco's capture, if he has been captured, presents an indirect threat to the security of AMLASH-1 and a more direct threat to the security of AMTRUNK-10 since Orozco in Jan 1964 exfiltrated through the rat line established by AMICE-14 (Miguelito). Upon his return to Cuba, AMLASH-1 will check the above with AMTRUNK-10; and, if Orozco is under the control of the security service, will decide and communicate with Miami whether ANLASH-1 and AMTRUNK-10 believe it necessary to exfiltrate ANTRUNK-10.AMLASH-1 was briefed to send a letter to (UNSNAFU-9 to indicate whether Orozco has been arrested or whether he is still in hiding. If the letter to (UNSNAFU-9 mentions a good and pleasant return trip, this will mean that Orozco is not under the control of the security service. If the letter talks abouth long, tiring trip, this will indicate that Orozco has been arrested. AMLASH-1 was also requested to send a report on the above and any complications which have developed or may develop from Orozco's infiltration.b. AMLASH-1 suggested that his nom de guerre "Charles," which we have been using for the past three years, be changed to "Gerardo."
[104-10247-10097.pdf — page 1]
-2-c. AMLASH-1 was given a resupply of S/W developer pills and carbon. He planned to take the S/W material back with him to Havana. AMLASH-1 again reviewed with UNSNAFU-9 and reminded UNSNAFU-9 to turn over to his case officer all letters regardless of how received from AMLASH-1 to either UNSNAFU-9 or letters that may be addressed to his parents-in-law. AMLASH-1 also agreed to send S/ out in letters addressed to Juan Ventura (AMWHIP-I's business partner) in Geneva or Rome. AMWHIP-I was briefed to inform Ventura that any letters he received from AMLASH-1 should be immediately air mailed to ANWHIP-1 in New York. Since AMLASH-1 will probably find it necessary some time not to sign the letters to Ventura in his true name, AMWHIP-1 was also briefed to inform Ventura to forward to New York any letter received from Cuba, addressed to him and signed by a person unknown to him. S/W letters to AMLASH-1 should continue to be addressed to Ernestina Acosta, Edf. No. 526, Apt. 8, Esquina Calles 25 y H.) In an emergency a letter can also be sent to AMLASH-1's mother.d. AMLASH-1 was again debriefed on the cache that had been put down for him in Matanzas. He repeated what he had previously reported and attempted to answer most of the questions in the AVE cable. A cable on this subject was sent from to Headquarters, info WAVE, on 2 Feb. AMLASH-1 was requested to send a message either through his channel or through ANTRUNK-10's S/W channel reporting how much of the radio equipment and other material had been recovered from the cache.e. AMLASH-1 was asked if he knew of any individual in Cuba whom he could recruit and who could be inserted into the Cuban Intelligence Service with the idea of attempting to get the DGI to assign this man to Caracas, Venezuela. AMLASH-1 could think of only one possibility, an individual known as Gustavo Gonzalez. AMLASH-1 has full confidence in Gustavo and Gustavo has previously been approached on several occasions by Pinero to work for him. Upon his return to Cuba AMLASH-1 will check to find out if Gustavo can still get himself recruited by Pinero and then be sent on a mission abroad, hopefully to Caracas. (AMWHIP-1, who also knows Gustavo will provide the background information upon his return to New York.)f. AMLASH-1 reported on the upcoming FEU elections on 10 February 1965. AMLASH-1 stated that Crombet, the president of the Communist Youth, will become the new
[104-10247-10097.pdf — page 2]
-3-president and that his man, Lagaro Mora, would be one ofthe vice-presidents. (A cable on this subject was sentto Headquarters from Paris.)06k. AMLASH-1 was requested to check with (Pizzolo)regarding the precautions being taken to prevent sabotageof the locmotives being shipped from France to Cuba;specifically, how carefully do they check the placementof the seals, are they special seals or regular leadseals, are there going to be any additional checks oncethe locomotives reach Cuba, will they drain the oil andlubricants from the factory to the port, and do they runthe locomotives under their own power or are they towed.AMLASH-1 agreed to attempt to develop answers to the aboverequirements and pass the information to his contact inthe (Paris Station) AMLASH-1 also agreed to attempt to findout and pass to the (Paris Station) through (UN)SNAFU-9 thenames of the Cuban techs training at La Rochelle.02h. In a general discussion regarding the persons withwhom AMLASH-1 had been in contact either personally orthrough letters, AMLASH-1 mentioned Alfredo Portela.AMLASH-1 stated he had received a letter from Portela andhad in turn written to Portela. He considers Portela afriend which was the only reason for writing to him.i. AMLASH-1 was debriefed on Cuban IntelligenceService personnel. A cable on this subject was sent from(Paris) to Headquarters.j. A cable was sent from (Paris) to Headquarterssuggesting AVE send a S/W letter to AMTRUNK-10 stating:"Este tranquilo. Carlos regresa pronto."k. AMLASH-1 was asked for information on the fol-lowing persons:(1) Samuel Gonzalez Rodriguez-Planes. AMLASH-1reports he is a member of the Ameijeiras group andis a good and brave man.(2) Antonio Lusson y Eatlle, Chief of Operationsof the General Staff of the Occidental Army.AMLASH-1 reports Lusson is an independent and raretype individual who keeps to himself and doesn'tinvolve himself in political matters. AMLASH-1 hasheard nothing bad about lusson.
[104-10247-10097.pdf — page 3]
-4-(3) Cadte. Raul Diaz Arguelles, Chief ofArtillery of the Occidental ray.(4) Elpidio Baez Bigo. According to ANLASH-1,Baez is a trusted Fidelman.(5) Luis Manuel Cantillo Toirac. Assigned tothe Cuban Embassy in Madrid and one of the securitypeople. He was formerly assigned to Brazil, is youngand has for several years been with Pinero and theCuban IS.(6) Enrique Oltuski Osacki. Oltuski is a closefriend of Faustino Perez and his stock with the regimerises or falls as does that of Faustino.(7) Sergio Tollen. Code clerk in the Embassy inParis. Tollon is staying in Paris at the request ofAmbassador Carrillo.1. Gastro enteritis, water pollution and unsanitary   conditions. AMLASH-1 states there are no real problems,   although the scarcity and lack of a balanced diet do   cause some problems. The purification of water has been   a problem which probably has been the cause of some of the   sickness in the country.m. AMLASH-1 did not believe that Aragones had invitedhim to fly back to Havana with him in order to get himback because of any serious security matter. AMLASH-1did state that Aragones was concerned that AMLASH-1 may notreturn to Cuba. Since Aragones cleared AMLASH-1 for histrip abroad, he is in a way responsible that AMLASH-1 doesnot defect and returns to Cuba. AMLASH-1 feels Aragonesdoes not want any problems with Fidel in case AMLASH-1decides to stay out.n. AMLASH-1 was unable to provide any information onthe political developments in Cuba in mid-November andDecember since he had been out of the country since earlyNovember. AMLASH-1 was asked to check on the problemsbetween the opposing factions in the Cuban leadership andexplained the issues, the background and personalitiesinvolved.o. Soviet advise or influence in political and economicmatters creates resentment among the middle and higher levelCuban officials. Basically, the Soviets are not respected.
[104-10247-10097.pdf — page 4]
-5-p. Rank of Cuban officials under Fidel in terms of their influence in making national policy. Raul is still the heir apparent to Fidel. Next to Paul is Che Guevara. After that, no other official, according to AMLASH-1, has any great influence in the making of Cuban national policy. President Dorticos' relationship with Fidel is good since he is a hard and serious worker, has good administrative ability and is able to work within the general outline lald down by Fidel. Raul Castro has some political influence and control in Oriente where he has placed his men in positions of influence, but only Fidel personally has any poltical influence in the rest of Cuba. Even within the military Fidel selects and appoints high army officers.Che Guevara is still strong in the ecocomic field and has not suffered a decline in his influence and authority because of his earlier policy of industrialization. Guevara restricts himself to the economic field and plays a very small role in the political field. He is serious and very hard worker, one of the few, according to AMLASH-1, who has worked seven days a week without leave since the revolution. Emilio Aragones holds an important position as the organizational secretary of the PURS. He is the official who was always at the office of the National Directorate of the Party and has contact with all the officials in the regime. He plays an important coordinating role. Faure Chomon has been accused of organizing former 13th of March Revolutionary Directorate people, but, according to AMLASH-1, this probably based on the fact that Chomon always gives jobs in the ministry he heads to DR people. Because of this Chomon today controls to a large degree the Ministry of Transportation. Of all the ministries, the DR's stronghold is in the Ministry of Transportation. Other DR people who continue to hold important positions in the regime are Alberto Hora, Ambassador Carrillo and Jose Naranjo.q. AMLASH-1 and AMWHIP-1 were unable to develop any specifics, but from their conversations with Ambassador Carrillo got the impression that Carrillo would prefer and welcome a transfer from the Embassy in Paris to the Embassy in Madrid.r. According to Emilio Aragones, Anibal Escalante is being considered for a job outside Cuba. The job will probably be in the commercial/economic field, but a decision had not been made as of November 1964 as to location.

-6-AMLASH-1 again reported that he feels (OrlandoBlanco,) Consul of the Cuban Embassy in (Bern,) isapproachable since he is unhappy with the Cuban regime.AMLASH-1 also feels that (Enrique Rodriguez Loeches,)Cuban Ambassador in (Rabat,) is approachable if approachedand developed by the right person. (Marina Garcia Gonzalez,)assigned to the commercial section of the Cuban Embassyin (Rabat,) AMLASH-1 feels is also approachable and feelsmoney can be used as an inducement. Ambassador Carrillo,AMLASH-1 feels, if the proper person developed him, couldprobably be compromised with Fidel. He is a characterand could easily be entangled according to AMLASH-1 ina compromising situation. Ambassador Carrillo is a closefriend of Lucy Echevarria.2. AMLASH-1 was also asked information on a long list   of other requirements on Cuba. On many he was unable to pro-   vide information and cables were sent to Headquarters on the   requirements on which he did provide information.cc: WH/SA/EOBFile:AMLASH-1 201Internal OpNestor D.

# 2025 RELEASE UNDER THE PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 1992TO: Deputy Chief, SSDFROM: Chief, Special Referral BranchSUBJECT: HIDALGO, Balmes, Jr.#6507722 June 1954The Subject is a covert employee of this Agency now in the United States for four weeks training and being considered for use by Staff C/ICB in a highly sensitive assignment. Immigration authorities may submit questions through this Agency which will be answered by the Subject, but requests to have the Subject testify in open court hearings must be refused.DETAILS1. Reference is made to the letter received by the Alien Affairs Staff from the Immigration and Naturalization Service and reference to your request of 15 June 1954 to ascertain the details of the Subject's status with this Agency and prepare a reply to I&NS.2. On 17 June 1954 Special Agent Chester R. HOADSCN of this office interviewed Mr. Robert DAHLGREN, Acting Chief, WH/FT, Room 1128 "J" Building, and Mr. John BONNETT, Chief, WH/Panama, Room 2204 Quarters "J", regarding the Immigration request. The following information was obtained during this interview.a. The Subject is still a covert employee of this Agency, is now in the United States (New York City) on home leave, and is scheduled to report to Washington, D.C., to commence four weeks of covert training on 6 July 1954.b. The Subject is presently under consideration by Staff C/JCB for an assignment with a highly sensitive project under the supervision of Staff C/ICB. Under this proposed assignment any publicity or notoriety that the Subject would receive from testifying publicly on questions of Communist associations of which he may have knowledge would ultimately preclude his future use with the Staff C project and would probably jeopardize his future as a covert employee of this Agency.c. If the Staff C assignment does not materialize, the Subject will return to Calboa Panama Canal Zone on approximately 15 August 1954 as a case officer, and this position would also be jeopardized by undue publicity.
[104-10250-10199.pdf — page 1]
3. Mr. DAHMGREN and Mr.(FORM)indicated that from a WH standpoint orly there would be ro crjection to a controlled interview with the Subject if the interview could be afforded the Subject while he is still in New York City. This, however, would have to be coordinated with Staff C/ICR for possible obiections that they might raise in view of their proposed use of the Subject. (FORM)recrested that he le informed of any action teker in this matter and any rublic testimon or oper court testimony would have to derend or the seriousress of the case teing prepared by the Immigratior authorities.4. Ary cortact with the Subject during his period of covert training from 6 July to approximately 15 August 1954 would have to also be coordinated with Mr. (Peter HOEHL) Covert Training Officer, OTR, whose office is located in Building-31.5. In 3 June 1951 Special Agent HOATSON cortected Mr.(Paul BURKE) Staff C/ICB, 1613 "W" Building, x666, to discuss the Subject's future position and also the recuest received from INS. The following factors were obtained from Mr.(BURKE)a. The Subject's use in the proposed Staff C project is still in the plarning stage, but the assignment that the Subject is being considered for is a highly sensitive one and any further publicity which the Subject may receive would ultimately discualify him for consideration on this project.b. Any approval for INS contact of the Subject would have to be determined after carefully considering the importance of the INS case for which the Subject's testimony may be recuired. (BURKE) indicated that the Sutject could still be considered as an employee of WH Division regardless of whether or not the proposed Staff C/ICR assignment materializes and any action in the request received from INS should be closely coordinated with both Staff C and WH.6. Mr. PENNINGTON, Alien Affairs Staff, SO, contacted William A. HOGAN, Special Assistant to the Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization on 16 June 1954 requesting further information regarding their memorandum of 9 June 1954 on the Subject. Mr. HOGAN explained that INS has a list of possible informents which contains the Subject's name. The people on this list are being contacted for use on a continuing basis wher specific cases arise which might fall in their particular area of knowledge. At the present time, INS has no specific case forwhich they want to contact the Subject, but they just want to know if he would be available in the future for use as er informert regarding various Communist activities of which the Subject has personal knowledge.
[104-10250-10199.pdf — page 2]
7. After his conversation with Mr. HOGAN, Mr. PENNINGTON reported that a refusal of the INS request would not be considered out of order, but recommended cooperating to the extent that could submit specific questions to this Agency which could be presented to the Subject and the answer forwarded to INS. The refusal of their original request should be based on the sensitivity of the Subject's position which could be jeopardized by any undue publicity and also on the fact that the Subject was frequently and it would be difficult to locate him important contact was minimized.8. Mr. James STROUSE, Lien Affairs Staff/SC, stated on 18 June 1951 that Mr. HOGAN, Special Assistant to the Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization, had indicated in a conversation with Mr. STROUSE on 8 June 1951 that INS had been able to locate the Subject's location and affiliation with this Agency through the Subject's father who told the inspector that the Subject was employed by this Agency in (Balboa, Panama, Canal Zone,) which appears to be a security flap on the part of the Subject's father.9. Mr. (John BOWER) Chief, WH/Panama, was recontacted on 18 June 1951 and informed of the nature of the INS request and also informed of the apparent security flap on the part of the Subject's father. On the basis of this further information, it was suggested to Mr. (BOWER) that the INS authorities be requested to submit any questions through this Agency which would, in turn, be presented to the Subject and his answers be returned to INS. Mr. (BOWER) agreed to the proposal of having the INS people contact the Subject through this Agency and also indicated that the reported security breach on the part of the Subject's father would be taken into consideration and an attempt would be made to determine the extent of the Subject's relatives or acquaintances know of the Subject's employment by this Agency. Mr. (Paul FURKE) Staff C/ICB, also agreed to the proposed procedure and requested that any and all action taken be coordinated with WH and Staff C.ACTIONIt is recommended that the attached memorandum to I&NS and to the Chief, WH Division, with a carbon copy to Staff C/ICE, be forwarded and that no further action be taken pending a report from Mr. (BOWER) regarding the seriousness of the security flap from an operational standpoint.Charles W.
