The main value of the production of the RDAFGHAN Project has been in establisning the pattern of varioug Cuban Embassy employees, The monitoring hag also revealed which automobiles: the various employees usually drive, Photographic coverage of the visitors to the mnin gate of the Cuban Embassy and logs of the movement of Cuban Embassy personne} have Proved very useful in ‘identifying new Cuban PCS employees in Mexico, Normally the Station has been able to match movements of new and old eaployees during. the initial Period when duties’ and contacts were being turned over to the now employees and so identify their duties. KDAFGHAN has Provided current Photographs of TDY and transiting Cuban uffictals and Headquarters! hag ; , often provided positive identifications of these persons, Norberto Hernandez, a DGI headquarters of ficer visiting Mexico, was identified in this way. . | _ 2, The Station utilizes KDAFGHAN photographic coverage and logs to verify the visits of Station assets to the Cuban Embassy, 3.
