AADENIM/1 continued to handle AMTRIGON/2 during this. period in the senso of holding biz eccure fvllivwing his Sucecesfel exfiltrae tion from the target area, He served as a leg man and made a number. of supporting contacts and investigations during the period which : ; assisted AMDENIM/1 and the Station in their overall efforts. AMTRIGON, 2 a has now indicated a desire to return to the target area, His plans are . being checked out, AMHELM/1, 201-328512, was put on the payroll at AMDENIN/1's suggestion after much deliberation, As a long time target hoe ‘ area gun runner he is probably the most experienced "fisherman" in the g fs ~ business and well worth a noininal.retainer each month for tho operatio “:-al iaformation he provides and for the. reconnaissance purposes he . - Serves, For:.example he was the first fisherman back~ ‘into. the Banks - . following the MIG and Kidnapping incidents’ so that it .was' possible . . through him to.have a test run in the area ‘without: committing a fully -[ ; qualified agent’ who.would be much more damaging to the:Station if "9 ° caught. He is by no means a fully controlled or trusted agente. He is.a tool who is manipulated through AMDENIM/1 by never explaining the truer purpose behind any particular request. 4 Regarding internal contacts of ANDENIM/1: on learning of the well being of AMEPOCH/6 via mail to regular correspondents following the October crisis an SW message vas sent to him early in February ; : _, requesting that he signal via telegram code when he is ready for a ‘ : reception and that -he send out SW letters on a regular- basis to give } * wus the benefit of intelligence available to him, -No reply has as yet { j been received,’ This is in part due to his being in: Camaguey and probably fiot having received the letter (letter sent to.

On about 29 January AMDENIM/1 called from New York City to say that ne wanted to stop by Washington D.C. to see a few people that he hadn't seen for a long time. He was advised that this was contrary to Station desires and that it was. not in his best interests, Despite this advisement he went to Washington with his friend AMPATRIN and did seo representatives of both ODACID and KUBARK (under cover). His explanation of this was that he had gone along with AMPATRIN to Washington for business purposes and despite his objections had been finagled into the two meetings by AMPATRIN. He was informed that this was not believed and that the incident had lowered considerably the degree to which the Case Officer was . willing to.accept his word ‘on anything. Beyond that it is felt : that he managed. to let off a little steam and confirmed that his onl a real chance for. accomplishing any thing is through SNWAVE. os, a Miscellaneous items re “Subject ‘include the ‘following.
