Sesion et ~- SEERET i April 1958 MEMORANDUK POR: Ciief, FI/Staff SUBJECT: Arthur G, VAIVADA ~ Request for Fromotion - [ee i. -It is requested that Arthur G, Vaivada, a Career Agent, be promoted from GS-1] to grade GS-12 for his outstanding performance in carrying out a precarious mission in line with the objectives of Project ANPHODARCH, in ‘which he is the Principal Agent. 2e In early January 1958, Vaivada volunteered to undertake a mission to contact Cuban rebel lezder Fidel Castro Ruz in the Sierra Maestra mountains in south-eastern Cuba. He arranged-for his free passage into the Sierras through contacts within the 26 July Movement which he and the Station. developed earlier, After the necessary arrangements, Vaivada left La Habana on § April 1958 for Santiago de Cuba, from where he left for-the Sierraa - under the escort of revel guides. In-the-course of ‘approximately ‘twenty days' stay at the mountain hideout of Castro's headquarters, during which time he was exposed to many hardships and great personal risks, he accompanied Castro and a force of about. 200 rebels on their dawn attack on the town of Manzanillo on 26 March 1958. At Manzanillo, Vaivada broke off contact with the Cuban rebels and returned to his base in Habana. 3. During his relatively short stay in the Sierra Maestra mountains, Vaivada was able to gather considerable intelligence and operational information of noteworthy value, together with an excellent photographic coverage of his trip. 4 This exploit is another achievexent to be added to the impressive | past performances of Arthur G, Vaivada, who has always shown a deep devotion. to his work and to the Agency. . and has been with CIA since 1919." 5. VWaivada was born on He has been a career agent since 1 June 1957, ama was promoted to the grade ef GS-11 on 1 June 1957... His tour of duty in Cuba was from August 1954 until 7 31 March 1958.

The Subject has no objection to subnitting to an LOrLUITER test at the convenience of Headcvarters, This could be egsily érrenged here jin the event an LOSLUTTR team is passing, or covld pass, throush Habana; en the cther hand, VAIVADA could just as easily fo to any designated lace in Florida in order to take this test. It is undersicod that LOrLUTTER teams from time to time visit that state. 2. ‘The Station will take such measures as are feasible to cover the activities of Subject and his wife while in Habana. 3. While the satter was not roferred to in the reference, Susject’s projected one-year tour of duty will end in June, 1958, at which time it is VAITJADA’s desire to leave Cuba for a reassipnment in another area in his present line of ovxerational work and under similar unofficial cover conditions. A detailed disvatch on this subject will shortly be trans- mitted to deedguarters; it is referred to here so that the readquarters desk may te alerted to the need for considerins what assignments would be open to VALVADA during the Spring or Summer of 1958.
