It ts syreed that a sophisticated technical search would probably find the device we planted but al! personne! at the Station involved with this operation '* agreed that such a search was mast unlikely.

From the content and tous cf her Questions and remarks, i% appears ebvieus that LIRING/4 has net had re- cent contact with the Cuban mission. She asxs when Abreu is leaving for Havana, but is given no information. She tries again at about 1900 and 2000, but there is no answer. She finally gets through to Abrew on 14-13-26 who promises to come to her home between 1000 and 1400 the following day (23/4/67).

Apparently in order to put Abreu oft (in his amomous de~ signs) LIRIKNG/4 tele him on 25/4/67 that her husband suspects that sorething is going on between them. In reply to Abreu's anxious ques- tioning, LIRING/4 states that her husband asked her whether she liked Abreu and whether Abreu like her, to which she said that she replied in the affirmative (this apparently was calculated to cool Abreu off without alicnating him). Abreu's visit to the ppartment 4nd his pro~ poed luncheon date with LIRING/3 were confimmed by the latter in his report to Rowton on 27/4/67. Conversations Re the Birth Certificate: In SAN-10 (2.5) LIRING/3 asks his Guatemalan friend (Jacobo xcdriguez Padilla?) whether it matters if the hinth cortificate te for a nerson 10 vears older? Jacsbo replied in the negative, but would prefer it of a person ten years younger.LI-. 25-26/4/67. This is the first confirmation Rowton has had of a state~ ment made to him some two weeks previously that when he went to pick up ‘the (false) birth certificate at Registro Civil on instructions of his half-brother (and the lawyer Rolendo Riojas) | he discoversd that it was so reported ‘to Rowton that Jacobo kad contacted him recently and asked for help in obtaining false papers for himself. The above conversation ‘therefore would indicate thet LIRING/3 plans to sive Jacobo the false document originally procured for himself through his half-brother. LI- RING/3, however, has not reveeled this plan to Rowton. SAN~11 (16.0) reveals that LIRING/3 informed his brother two days Later that he has spent over.ten days at Registro Civil but it is “impossible — ta get the dirth certificate.

This support was provided in addition to the TDY support being rendered by Reginald S. JEMHON &@ Yeplacement for CORNEURY who was on sick leave. Chronology: RESCIGNO departed Kational Airport for Hexico City After checking into the Palace Hotel, R. reported te the Station by telephone. Station contact was made through SLINEARD who advised R. to come into the Station. R. discussed relative target priorities and then net with the respective case officers concerned with the operations. The rest of the day was spent checking out equipment for possible use on the LIRUSTIC/1 operation. The following dey was spent planning and becoming familiar with the LIRUSTIC/1 operational situntion, infiltrating equipment inte the baye/LP and setting up a cover story. . No operational work was planned for the above operation for the weekend; therefore, the LIRING/3 LP equipment was checked out and the LP equipment set up in the LP on Saturday. The equirent used was a T-204 Revere Recorder (110 VAG, 50 cycle) and an SPR-2A . carrier current receiver. The occupant of the LP was — briefed in the operation of the equipment. Theres was moO conversation in the LP during the briefing: consequently, . R. planned to return the following week to determine relative reference levels of a11 control settings to assist the LP operator in making his recordings. Entry into the target to inspect the installation was not considered operationally possible over the weekend and the case officer made plans with the LP operator for a i meeting later in the week, eo ; ye arr ap Ay RYBAT/SECRET se ne tate fermi tenes neue pals qrinninnene Rony ein erate een Nene eipe a ret = NRL GH OR i mie Me gente ane oee na cen e Onn AE nae eee tent eneetepiteteme teenies *

The existing telephone extension wan malfunctioning aud would ring only inter- ‘wittently. ince the LP had some extra telephone cablea terminating at the house, the case officer did not want to request a normal telephone company gervice call. Thursday evening, 18 Way 1967, was- scheduled for testing the two installations that were completed on the LISAMPAN operation; however, upon reporting the successful installation in the LIZUSTIC/1 target, RESCIGNO was informed that the telephone company was to be working on the afetribution bex where the loop connections were to be nade. Consequently, the testing of the installetions was postponed until the telephone company personnel complete their vork in the aren. On Friday morning, the LIRIEG/3 LP was again visited to check the operation ef the equipment and to establish relative reference levels for the operator to obtain optimum results. The tarcet was occupied and @ recording was made of & telephone cal: and a discussion @ith a book salesman, The operation of the equipment wos gatisfactory. The technical details of the target installation were thorouchly reviewed in consideration ef the operational situation. The case officer was completely satisfied that the type of installation was definitely adequate frem 2 security etandpoint in this particular situation. The target equipment vas functioning normally with no technical problems; there- fore, a re-entry into the target was not considered necessary. CORNBURY expressed a gimilar view when the operation was discussed with him that afterncon. fhe page-boy system was discussed with the Station and RESCIGNO was inforned that tests had been made and 4t was decided to install a higher gain antenna to reach outlying areas.

te ; an . m e. co 1 Ray 41997 i e- Subject: Monthly Report of Developments in the ‘LIRUIG/3 Operation, for the Period 1-30 April, 1967. 1. During the month of April, Rowton was able, through valuable leads furnished by LIFEAT intercepts, to put strong pressure on LIRING/3 to present acceptable proof of a number of statements that he had made to Rowton, At his meeting with LIRIhG/3 on 719 April, Rowton confronted LI- RING/3 with suspicions he entertained concerning the proposed acquisi- tion of a false birth certificate as well as the identity of "Garcia", the PAR representative. The session, which lasted over two hours, shook LIRING/3 so much emotionally that IL LIRING/4 became alarmed and telephoned Rowton's answering service the following morning. Rowton was able to ex~ ploit this opportunity to talk privetely with LIRING/& and to lay the foundation for an independent working relationsaip with her against tar- gets of interest in the local mission. 2. In addition to initiating a posi itive. effort to verify - LIRING/3" s bona fides and reliability, Rowton's confrontation paved the way toward a closer and more productive relationship with him in the future. LIRING/3 assured Rowton that he considered his work for Rowton the most important - thing in his life and was willing to do anything to prove that his in- = =: tuetions were honorable and nis reporting reliable. As a rasult Rewton is , currently in a position to challenge any or all cof LIRING/3's statements, and to give him much more specific direction than was possible in the past. _. 3- The following are Rowton's comments on specific developments during the month in summary form: . an a) Developments with respect to. Cuba: On 19 April, LIFZSAL intercept SAN-7(9.0) revealed that both LIRING/3° and LIRING/4 were virtually an’, - dsolated from the Cubans. In the conversation with the Mexican Rojas LIRING/3 stated that "he and his wife no longer have anything to do with those people", and LIRING/4, in conversation with the same person, . >- added that she "feels like vomiting when she sees them". Both LIRING/3 and /4 admitted this situation to Rowton on 22 April when he taiked to each privetely. LIRING/& explained her dislike for the Cuban employees of the mission originated in the "rude manner in which she was thrown out into the street" some aix months previously. aeinviae confegaed, an . a eer) Arr ve AMMA 31423 6S cory set ern ne atte ae
14-00000 sy o ; 2, that he could not explain why his close friends Arnol Rodriguez and René Cchoa had not commusicated with him over the past month ,despite his messages and telephone calls. He felt an uneasy suspicion that the Julian Lopez affair, as well as the Rico Galan letter, had caused certain elements locally and in Havana to become hostile toward him. LIKING/3 noted that Bepeda had been present when LIRING/4 had blown her top in the Ambassador’s office and that he (LIRING/3) had turned down Cepeda's invitation to accompany him to Havana shortly after the return of Julian Lopez. In any case LIRING/3 agreed that the best, or, more candidly, the only course of action open to him was to pley a waiting game and continue his work with the Guatemalans in the hope that the Cubans, sooner or later would recontact him. He stressed that only after he has established firm and viable cover through the plastic flower business will he be able to face a thorouch interrogation by the DSE in Havana (which he expects, should he return at this time). He feels that he pelt enough Greeks to dete ( Econonou, Frevolis,Batsakis, Gasdazlis,Arvanitis) in both Mexico City and Guatenala City, to justify his relaticnship with Rowton on a purely commercial level, should that become necessary. LIRNG/3 accepted. Rowton' s ‘recommendation that LIRIN 1G/4 overcome her apparent visceral dislike for the Cubans in the mission and effect a re= conciliation with them as soon as possible. After Rowton's personal appeal to her, she succeeded in recontacting Ramiro Abreu on 22 April, and re~ mained in almost dally contact with him until he left Mexico on 30 April. Through Abreu she re-established contact wite Curbelo, Cepeda, and other employees of the Consulate, including Enrique Cicard. This gave LIRING/3 an opportunity to chat with Abreu concerning his.own situation with the result that Abreu promised to get some word out to LIRING/3 concerning the attitude of his friends in Havana. Abreu invited LIRING/3 back to Havana, but the latter turned this down diplomatically (for the reasons mentioned above). b) Developments with Respect to Guatemela: The identity of "Garcia", the FAR representative, bas continued to occupy the attention of Rowton. An attempt by the Station team to surveilz Garcia when he allegedly picked up the medicine fron LIRING/3 on 28 March was unsuccessful ( Rowton spotte¢ LIRIRG/3 leaving his house at about 0815, just as the team was taking posi- ticns and before they. could identify LIRING/3)«. Another opportunity to surveil LIRING/3, Garcia, as well as Enrique norales, was lest on the even- -Ang of 8 April, becasue of the short notice Rowton has of the mecting.
14-00000 * Matters, however, have been simplified after the confrontation of LIRING/3 by Easton on 22 April, inasmuch a3 LIRING/3 promised to notify Rowton in advance of the next meeting with Cercia, explicitly for the purpose of Rowten' s getting a look at Garcia to identify nim. In addition on 1 May, LIRIKG/3 informed Rowton that Garcia had telephoned him the preceding day to set a date for their next meeting on 18 Fey, when Garcia stated he would be back from Guatemala. LizzaT take fom 30 April should confirm or | refuge this statement. ; During the month LIRING/3 maintained contact with Jacobo Rodriguez Padilla Alicia Echeverria as well as Carcen Carrasco. LIFEAT intercepts confimmed LIRING/3 reports, at least as far as actual contact was concerned. c) Developments with Respect to the False Birth Certificate: Uppn his re- turn from northern Mexico on 6 April, LIRING/3 reported that he had made arrangements to obtain a false birth certificate for future use through bis half-brother and a certain lawyer named Holando Riojas(for a 2,000 peso foo}. LIFES ivtorsonts aroused Rowton's suspicions concerning the role, if any,played by Riojas, and served as a-bzasis for Rowton's heart- to-beart talk with LIRING/3 on 22 April, LIRIUG/3 claimed that the false birth certificete produced by his half-brother and Riojas was not suitable since it applied to a person born in 1916. This appears to have been the tnuth, as indicated in LIRING/3's conversatica with Jacobo Rodriguez Pa= _ dilla on 23 April (SAN-10(2. 5), although Rowt:n still has doubts concern- ue the existence and role played by Rolando ziojas. Likewise ,LIRING/3's Po, > report that his half-brother wes to provide hia with an affidavit in lieu | - "of birth certificate in the name of Alberto Zérate Vidal,(a name chosen by LIRING/3 himself), was proved to be true waen LIRING/4 gave Rawton the originalzx of the court papers on 29 April. a) Cover Aspects of the LIRING/3 Cperation: ruring the first week of April- LIRING/3 traveled to northern Mexico (Sabines,Nuevo Loredo) and Del ‘Rio, . ., ' Dexas, and, in collaboration with his half-brother and a certain Sergio . NX Arche of Villa Acufa, established a notional company ("Floriex") in Del _ Rio as a buyer for. the plastic flowers assembled in San Cristébal. This was done, according to LIRING/3, in order to satisfy the requirements of the Secretariat of Com merce. and industry. Also on 19 April, LIRING/3, ac@ - companied by mrique Norales. visited San Cristébal to met with Enrique © ‘Martinez and check on the rental of the propesed factory. The "Plastiflor de San Cristébal® was registered as a company locally, and Enrique Norales “NL continued on to Guatemala City where he met with Con. -tantine Gasdaglis, anager. of t the Metalopléstica Guatemalteoa (as per arranguents made Be LIRING/?.

14-00000 + P.O OO ° 4 Bay ,1967 Subject: Wallace B. Rowton Meeting with LIRDUG/3.— ° 1. Rowton met with LIRTNG/3. at the eavehouse(Tacubey3? triefly at a 4000 on 1 May,1967. LIRING/3 reported that "Garcia’ bec telephoned gh him on the preceding day to tell hig that the had to aaxe another trip; this time to Guatemala ané that he would be returning on 18 May ,1967. LIRING/3 added that Garcia indicated that he would see LZRING/3 on that date or a few days thereafter, and planned to introduce him to a friend who would be in a position to see hin more frequently in the future. LIRING/3 told Rowten he. agein mentioned the payment for the medicines and Garcia assured him that it would be settled at their next meeting. 2, LIRING/3 also reported thet Abreu departed on 30 April, rather than on 29 April,as anticipates. He said thet he had therefore had achance to meet wito Abreu again, Tas asttor erneonraged bin to keep in touch with him and promised to get some sort ef message to LYERTEG/3 from Arnol Rodriguez and/or Cienfuero. Accordize to LIRING/3 abreu asked hin whether he would be willing to visis his friends in ®syana again in the near future to discuss his situation personally, indicating that he would arrange for an invitation as soon 8s he returned. LIZING/3 told Rowton he thenked Abreu but stated thet at the moment he was very pusy with his conmeréial obligations ard could not find the time. Ze assured Abreu that . ag soon as he got things rolling in San Cristébal and Guatemala, he would welcome the chance to visit Havana again. 3. LIRING/3 then stated that he and LIRING/S had tgbced over the matter of her father's visit at length, end hsd also talked again to him by tele- ptione(}n response to his two cails),and had come to the conclusion that 4% was more practical that LIRING/S's father come to Mexico City after all, since a trip to Montreal was too costly and it appeared impossible to con- _yince LIRING/4's father that he should not come to visit his daughter at her home. LIRING/3 added that he planned to have LIZING/4 take her father on as viany excursions as possible outside Mexico City to keep his visit - as quiet as possible. He gaia that in any event lLIRIZG/4's father could not make. the trip before <O May, 1967, when bes vacation would begin. 4, LIRENG/3 then mentioned that both he and -LIRING/& felt that they should return to the Tacubaya apartment to live. He explained that LIRING/4 had originally moved into the former safehouse at bis request to satisfy the
-eurlosity of the landlady, sra. Sanchez. He felt that this had already ‘been accomplished and. sna Sanchez was not likely to ask any further _ questions. Also both he and LIHIKG/4 were worried about suspicions that night be aroused on the part of the local Embassy ‘and Consular staff if they continued to reside there. Abreu had already raised his eyebrows slightly and appeared satisfied wiva LIRING/3's explenation that he had rented the apartment for some friends who were out of the country tempor~ ‘arily. LIRING/4 is not comfortable in the apartment, especially since she ' gay have to face her fcorzer colleagues frequently is she resumes her work in the Consulate. According to LIRIUG/3, she feels they are better off in relatively nodest surroundings,since they have fewer questicns to ans- . wer and explanations ‘to give. Their old apartment (tacubaya) also has two separate bedrooms and would be more convenient when her Pavher cones to visit tiem. LIRING/3 stated that he could, of course, co tinue to .use the Atoyac apartment to see Rowton and meet discreetly "te his con- tacts, as previously. bispa 5. In view of the above, Rowton suggested that LIRING/3 inform tis friends, particularly the Cubans, that the Atoyac apartment had been rented for his Greek friends from Guatemala and Venezuela who planned to establish © a plastics factory here in Hemico and needed a place to stay during their _ Wisits. LIRING/3 felt this would be acceptable, since by now he had geod working contacts with Batsakis and Gasdaglis in Guatemala City ard would - goon be seeing ayvanitis and possibly others. Rowton also suggested that af it became necessary to explain his contacts with the Greeks to the Gu- bans, he should say that his original contact was with Pandelis Economou : re the importa.icn of Metecas cognac (this is true) and that he had met ' Stylianos Prevolis and continued to work through him on the recommendation — - 9f Economou (when the latter returned to Athens). i 6. LIRING/3 stated that he planned to revisit his friends in the Secreta- — plat of Commerce (particularly a sefior Llamas of the Plastics Committee) ' to obtain the import license for the first ssipment of disassembled Q flowery to San Cristébal. =~ \ Ae : . 3 a a . ; i i ‘Wallace B.

a a ae : 29 April ,1967 ‘Subject: Wallece B. Rowton Meeting with LIRING/3, 1. Rowton met with LIRING/3 at the safehouse at 1890 on 27 April, and at 0845 on 29 April,1967. At the first meeting LIRING/3 gave Rowton the new letterhead paper of the Plastifor de San Cristébal company and report::1 that he had been in telephcniec contact with Enrique horales in Guatemala City end has passed on to him Rowton's message instructing hin,(as per LIRING/7's suggestion) to ecntact Mr. Constantinos Gasdaglis of the Metaloplastica Guatemalteca to be shown through the factory and given some unassembled smaples of the plastic flowers. This had been auggested by LIRING/7? inasmuch as Mr. Angelo Arvanitis had not arrived in Guatemala City from Caracas as anticipated. 2. &t both meetines LIRING/3 revorted alnost dailv contact with Ramiro Abreu either pessonally or by poone. He stated that he had had a private talk with Abreu, in which the latter attempted to smooth over the ap= parent difficulties liming/3 was having with the Cubans, by stating that nobody really had anything against LIRING/3. When the latter showed his dissatisfaction with such a brush-off, Abreu mumbled somethihe about the Julian Lopez affair and added that there were “certain things he , Was not in a position toe discuss", Abreu insinutated that Cepeda was more or less hostile. although he himself did not share Cepeda’s atti- - tude. At this point LIKING/3 inserted the comment that when LIRING/& blew up some six months age(on the day that she was fired) in the Am- bassador's office, Cepeda was present, and he appereatly resented the “action even more than the Ambassador. LINING/3 agreed With Rowton thet ', in light of the current situation the best course. of action would be to give LIRING/4 a chance to re-establish cordial relations with her former -COlleagues, particularly Cepeda, since she had the adventage of being a Cuban and former enployee herself. ; . Se with regard to other comments made: by Abreu, LIRING/3 stated. that he definitely felt that Abreu was making a pitch for direct and’ continuing contact with him, even after Abreu returned to Havana. LIRING/3. stated to Rowton that he gently brushed this off, stating to Abreu that he had certain understandings with Arnol Rodriguez and Ssmani Gienfuego and for that reason did not feel free to enter into any operational relatiosbip. with anyone else. He concluded this discussion with a comment that if Abreu could somehow get a siessage to him from either Arnol Rodriguez or
14-00000 2e- Cienfuego designating Abreu as their ‘ieison, LIRIS Gf3 would be glad to accommodate. LIRING/3 added to Howton that he gave Abreu a sketchy idea of what he waa doing in establishing commercial ties with both Guatezala and Texas, Abreu appeared intensely interested and when LIRING/3 showed him the letterhead of the new"conpany" in San Cristébal, Abreu snapped up the paper and envelope and. slipped tres. into his pocket. LIRING/3 told Rowton that he exvressed to Abreu his intention cf continuing his efforts along the commercial lines, regardless of the lack of enthusiaam shown to him by the Cubans. 4, At the 29 April zeeting LIRING/3 vepareat to Rowton that Enrique Horales had returned safely from Guatemala City, after having met with Constantine Gasdaglis and obtained from him samples of the flowers. Since Rowton had almost reached the.conclusion that LIRING/3 has known Enrique Morales for several years (contrary to his story thet he met bin throuch "Garcia" )zow=- ton threw in at this point the comment taav ne bad been checKing OR aU rales,through a Mexican Dunn and Bradstreet type firm he uses in. business, and found that Morales has a poor éredit rating, is married, and is an artist by profession ( actual source of this info is LIPEAT intezcepts). LIKING/3 appeared surprised at the accuracy of Rowton's report and adaitteé that Morales was a painter, although he did not earn enough from his work to live. LIRING/3 olso stated that Morales had used the 500 pesos paynent he had made to him to liquidate an overdue loan at a bank, but that he was currently ‘out of debt and in good credit: standing So. At the same meeting LIRING/3 reported. ‘that he had been in touch with his half-brother regarding the false birthcertificate and informed his half—brother that the one presented to him was for a man bern in 1916 and hence useless for his own Ex purposes. according to LIRING/3, his pother proposed an even better idea, the procurement of an "acta notorial" in which it would state that the person named therein had never been regis~. tered. LIRING/3 pointed out thet this would be more valid legally even than a birthcertificate since it would be ispued by a court rather than simply by the Rigistro Civil. He then acded that he might £ ortunately Rill two birds with one stone, but using the affidavit in lieu of birth certificate for himself and give the fals birthcertificate to his friend | Jacobo (Rodriguez Badilla) who had asked him to help procure a false docu« ment. Rowton agreed that this would be the best eolution and ask when LI- RING/3 hoped to have the papers. He replied that his half-brother had al- ready sent the acta notorial on the morning: bus from Sabinas (Coah.) and’ eo FT. FOTNe fF mannmtead
14-00000, that he was to pick it up from the bus driver early that same afternoon. 6. LIRING/3 then reported to Rowton that the Consulete had asked LIRING/4 to come back to work on a part-time basis. According to lixING/}, bota he and LIRING/S$ dragged their feet on eny coumitment until they could re- fer the matter to Rowton. LIRING/3 commented that the thought of LIRING/4& being again in euch close contact with such types did not make him happy but he agreed with Rowton that this perhaps would serve to re-establisa his own relationship with them. LIRING/3 aizitted that it had been very convenient to have LIRING/4 inside the esvadlishment, especially since ahe could pick up messages for him and keep her ear to the ground and her eyes open for gossip. Rowton replied that in view ef this development he felt that he should have another private chat with LIRING/4 and asked Ll- RInG/3 to inform her that he would be calling on her that afternoon at about 1700. LIRING/3 discreetly stated that he plenned to be out at that time in any case seeing his chisdaren (oy bis ex-wite?. 7. Rowton spent some 90 minutes with LIRING/4 at her home thet afternnon. She reported thet she had made out much bether than expected with Abreu, who came running when she telephoned him shortly after Rowton left her on the evening of 22 April. She added that he came to the house that evering in the coxpany of Curbelo ami made a date to see her againthe upxt morning. She commented that Abreu, who had always hac a sort of crush on her, was delighted and pleasantly surprised by her. initiative. He confessed that he thought LIRING/4 wanted a visa to go beck home, and was relieved to find that she was not in any difficulty. LIZING/4, in her typical candid manner, adzitted that Abreu's interest in ber was probably personal, but she felt that she had accomplished what rowton wanted in her own feminine . way. Rowton congratualted her and asked her to continue her efforts ,parti-~ . cularly with Cepeda and the others in the mission. 8, LIRING/4 then explained that on her wisit to the Embassy, Abreu, in the presence of Cepeda and others, almost yokingly said they were understaffed and why didn't LIRING/4& come back to help them out in the office, LIBING/4 told Rowton that she immediately showed interest but did everything she could from appearing overenthusiastic. She commented to Rowton that one must not run after such people, but make them cance a bit first so that - they would appreciate: anything they get. LIRING/& continued that ske replied to Abreu that she would think it over, but in any case would not want a repetition of the treatment she received last timke. All sorts of
14-00000 assurances were given to her, but ,despite this she made ho consitment gince she wished to talk the offer over with LIRING/3 and Xowton. Pe 9, LIRING/S also reported that she hed net the new.cousul, Enrique Cicard, and found him rather pleasant. She said that she pienned to invite hin to dinner on evening soon so that LIPING/3 could chat with him. LIRESLS. “then commented that the only problem with EIEIN Cicard would be cexeaen in the Phess Office (as Zowton recalls) who was Cicard's roommate. Sne explained that Sarambu was a aember of the Communist Party and appeared to be a tough nut to crack. She surprised Rowton by adding that Cepeda appeared easier to her, the only problem with bia was how to find an opening - some common interest she could exploit. Also regard- ing the part-time work, she said that she did not take it too seriousiy, since Araceli and Mirabal were coming back from Hevana and hence they would met te so ghert ~handed, Rowton mentioned she might also offer to help the Mexican Rojas who had telephoned her recently. She agreed and eommented that Rojas had told her that he had finally been invited into Ha- vana for a brief visit. “40. Rowton then brought up the problem of LIRING/4+'s father. LIRING/4 con~ firmed ‘whet LIRING/3 had told Rowton that morning! i.@. that her father . had just announced thet he had succeeded in obtaining the visitor's visa fron New York and that when she had telephoned him suggesting they meet - in San’ Antonio (to avoid his appearing in Mexico City at this time),her father ha@ balked, saying that if he were coming all the way to San An- tonio he mught as well continue on 4 little more and go to Mexice City. LIRING/4 explained to Rowton that she could not possibly ges across to her father the real reason she wanted to meet him in the U.S. (to aveid arousing suspicions on the aprt of such types as Cepeda) and she had to: let the matter drop. She added that there was also the problem of the “wise to the U.S. which she did not want in her passport. Rowton offerred to obtain the visa through business friends in Houston ra-her painlessly, _. but LIRI G/4 insisted that this would be a needless riek in the eyes of Cepda just at a time when she might be resired. She concluced that the only solution appeared to be Montreal where she could go without arousing - suspicion (she commented that Cepeda had told her that he intended to visit: Caneda in the near future). She felt she could reduce some of the — expense by traveling part way by bus. (Another tho. ight that has occurred to Rowton is that she might travel via Havana ,al though be has Mbt as yet mentioned this to either LIRING/4 or LIRING/3). (as DAN
14-00000 41. During the meeting LIRING/4 presented Rowton with the "Acta Notorial"™ which LIRING/3 had mentioned to Rowton thet same morning. She said that .. LIXING/3 had asked her to show the document to Rowtcn whiche he already | knew about. Reyton took one of the three copies and told LIRING/4 that he would study it at his leasure. The document is éssued in apparently : proper legal form by Judge Rocelio Sanchez F.,Secretary of the Civil Court of the Third tribunal of the rirst Instecne of the Judicial Distreit of | Monclava, Cabinas, Coahuila, and representa an aifidavit of Elias Piffe . Diaz and Antonio Rodriguez Lozano to the effect that a certain Alberto Zarate Vidal was born 7? September ,1929 in Ejido Puente Negro of Sabinas, the son of Enrique Zérate Reyes and Bertha Vidal de Z4rate, but that his | birth was not previously registered by the parents. The witnesses, Pina. ané Rodriguez, stated under oath that they knew this to. be a fact from personal knowledge of the parents.

We are somewhat surprised by this since we had thought that one of the reasons for making the installation was to determine just how sopNisticated and reliable LIRING-3 and conpany were, that is, whether or not LIRING-3 might be working for the opposition. This point might not have come through clearly in HEMW~15327, 20 March 1367, and if so, we would like to take this opportunity to emphasize that one of the reasons we have been following this involved case so closely is to guard against the possibility tuat LIRING-2 is more sophisticated than is apparent on the surface (or is himself being handled by a sophisticated opposition case officer). If so, we obviously cannot afford to assume that reference dastallation is adequate since it would appear to he quite easily discoverable by superficial exaainaticon by someone with some degree of sophistication and a serewdriver and flashlight. The Station acted correctly in MEXICO CITY 0881 _ 4m describing and seeking approval for the installation, and. we must confess that it just never occurred to us that LIRING-3 et. al. might be considered to lack sophistication in this regard.

Forwarded herewith as Attachment One are five reports prepared by Wallace B. ROWTON on the LIRING=-3 operation. These repurts are dated 13, 19, 22 (two reports) and 24 April 1967. 2, LIFEAT coverage of LIRING~3's apartment was started on 6 April. A review of the LIFEAT take for the period of 6 to 12 April indicated to ROWTON that LIRING-3 may not have been telling him the truth on a number of minor points. One of these was whethor or not Rolsrdn Pra yas tha Muoun tavaria lawver whoa can Rene provide false birth certificates (on the basis of which Mexican passports can later be obtained), exists. ROWTON took up the questipr a of the lawyer and other points dealing with Enrique MORALES and "GARCIA" with LIRING-3, The latter appeared crushed that ROWTON had doubts about the sincerity of some of his statements. “He swore that the lawyer really exists and offered to give . ROWTON all pertinent details of his next meeting with "GARCIA" so that ROWION can have a look at the Guatemalan "from a distance. Such an arrangement should greatly simplify the taxof the LIEMBRACE team, the next time "GARCIA' and LIRING-2 meet. LIRING=-3 also admitted that his wife was becoming more and more upset about his "clandestine" activities, and that his relations with the Cubans were at a low point. After his meeting with ROWTON on 19 April, when the above was discussed, the LIEMBRACE mom weary ol prwe team followed LIRING=2 from his old house (nov used ‘for his meetings with ROWTON) directiy to the Cuban Embassy. ~ LIRING=3 » CONTINUED = Attachments: 1.

A review of the LIFEAT take from 12 to 19 April showed that LIRING-3 had deceived ROWTON on a couple of additional points. One of these was that LIRING-3 called his Honduran friend Rene OCHOA in Cuba, when he told ROWTON that he phoned Arnol- RODRIGUEZ. Faced with the fact that the number he called was not Arnal's (ROWTON pays LIRING=-3's phone bills), LIRING=3 said that OCHOA was the best friend he had in Cuba and admitted that he had not been in contact with RODRIGUEZ for some time. As can be seen from his reports, a major effort was made by ROWTON to convince LIRING-3 and especially his wife that the two should ‘take the initiative and make an effort to improve their relations with the Cubans in general and the personnel of the local Cuban Embassy in particular. It became evident in the process that his lack of good relations with the Cubans has been bothering LIRING-3 and has been partly responsible for his depressed mocds which, in turn, upset hig wife. The latter is particularly disgusted with the people in the Cuban Embassy for what she con<- siders the poor treatment they gave her husband prior to the jatter's last trio to Cuba (Headquarters will recall that she was fired at that time for telling off the Cuban Ambassador). 4, There is little question that ROWTON played his cards . ; well with LIRING-3 and especially his wife who agreed to reestablish contact with the local Cubans to help ROWTON and her husband. As cen be seen from ROWION's last report, the Cubans were quick to — seize the opportunity to develop better relations. with LIRING-3's wife and, through her, LIRING-3. The latter was naving lunch with Ramiro Abreau Padron on 26 April as this dispatci: was being. written. , fa * 5. Enrique MORALES, meanwhile, is in Guatemala to receive instruction in the art of making plastic flowers from Angelo . ARVANITIS. He carried with him a letter of introduction written by LIRING-7, It was necessary to clinch the plastic flower deal which will serve to cover LIRING-3's activities with the Guatemalan > rebels, to use LIRING-7 to vouch for LIRING=-3 with Angelo ARVANITIS. ROWTON has been instructed, however, not to bring LIRING-3 and LIRING~-7 together and to pass LIRING-7 off simply as a friend in the Embassy of the nationality which ROWTON uses in dealingg with LIRING=3. 6. Forwarded As Attachment Two, under separate cover, is a photocopy of a document from the Mexican Secretariat of ‘ Gobernacion notifying LIRING-3's wife that the visa application . for her father, now in the United States, has been denied.
