In the fall of 1960 AMERE 1 (Peter J. DI CEPVENO)
recruited in Havana a WT operator candidate, whose name he
cannot recall at this time. This candidate was spotted and
first contacted by AMPANIC-1, who passed the lead over to
AMIPE 1. APPANIC-1 first contacted the candidate on the porch
of the old percedes Benz Arency at kalecon and Principe Streets,
and AMIRE 1 then contacted subject in the latter's apartment in
the fourth floor of a building located in the middle of the 8
block on the East Bide of Nenocal Avenue (Infants) Between (Vaile)
and San Jose Streets. This building had a store in the first
floor, was painted a pinkish beige, and the apartments were

safehouse located at (39 San Rafael Street) which had been obtained

sessions as a lock-out, but neither AFOX-1 nor AMCLEN-1 knew
the identity and address of the trainee. Training included the
clandestine operation of a RS-1, the use of signal plans, the use
of pads in coding and decoding, and personal security. Training
