Subject was using the name Marlano JIM[NEZ y Gomes, which appeared on hie I&HS identification elip. lk. Subject was debriefed, alnost exclusively in English for five hours on 28 July and again for approximately the sane amount of tize en the 29th. 5. Subject was cooperative, responded to all questions, and appeared to be under me stress. Bs did inquire about bis family in Cuba and the vhere«~ abouts of his brother Pedro luis, bat evinced no grave concern, 6. Subject's views, as related in the attached, are probably colored by his reepect for Pedro Laie and a desire to demonstrate hie brother'e impor- tamce, eteture, and roles in the futere of Cada. 7.
