L-9 views Regino as a very slippery article and ' did not have any recommendations ccncerning an operational approach. In any case, there is no real reason to believe that elther Petra or Regino would be susceptible to a pitch. 17.

Nothing of operational interest that has not already been reported by the Mexico Station emerged from this discus- sion.

L-9 got this information from Conchita second-hand and was not able to provide additional details. 29. Alfredo, L-9's brother - the writer can add nothing to what Station Mexico has already reported on this operational target, and feels that ve are barking up the wrong tree if we expect L-9 to approach him. In so doing we would be trying to undermine. values which probably transcend L-9's basic anti-Cocmmmisa. On the other hand, Alfredo is anti-Cammmis* and dissatisfied with the regime, and, while he rejected Growery's pitch, he did so graciously and told 1-9 that crowery impressed him favorably, While the writer cannot suggest an approach to Alfredo, it is felt that at this time such attempts as may be made to develop him should be channeled through someone other than his brother, . eo
