Be in turn stated he felt that “Roberto” should begin seeting hig in more secure places than his hotel reom, where apparently the majority of the AMWHIP-1/Roberte seetings take piace. We stated we would take this up with Roberto in Paris prior to AMWHIP-1's projected trip during the week of 21 March. \ 8, It was also suggested to AMWHIP-1 that due to the sensitivity of the UNSNAFPU-19 CA operation he was about to undertake,he forego reeting any KUBARK etafters in Europe during his forthcoming trip.

AMWHIP~] was asked if he knew Garcia Bango (GB) ° whom we described as a lawyer, 33 years old, who bad just ; arrived in Madrid and claimed that he had a measage j obviously coming froma AMLASH-1 or members of his group. ; AMWHIP-1 replied that he knew GB who had been a friend ef AMLASH-1's for the past twenty years. AMYHIP-1 stated ! that GB was eseentially a crook, and his asgesssent of . : GB corresponded pretty well with that forwarded in HADR 3486 CIN 242905), AMPHIP-1 stated it was pesaible, but not : probable, that GB had been sent by the AMLASH group to convey the message as indicated in the forenentioned MADR eable, AMWHIP-1 further stated he felt GB vould be personally loyal to AHLASH-] in apite of any DSZ suggestion to the contrary. (This again ie a feeling which AMWHIP-1 had and is sot to be taken as govpel.) He also meationed the brother of GB, Jorge, on whom there are a number of traces at Headquarters. &. ANWHIP-1 also discussed the contents of a letter received from AMLASH-2. The essential part of this letter plus se telephone call from AMLASH-3 from Hadrid was that AMLASH-3 was somewhat upset by the fact that he was having @ifficulty im getting e visa for the U. 5. and/or the Dominiean Republic. AMWHIP-1 then spent considerable time discussing the treatment of AHLASH-2 and AMLASE-3 in ‘ Madrid by KUBARK. He said ho felt that AMLASH-2 and ANLASH-3 should be contacted by KUBARK and treated and handled well, If this were done, they would both serve & very weeful purpose for KUBARK ends both ia Europe and io Cuba, The undersigned told ANWHIP~1 that we essentially agreed. with hig position and would take up the aatter with our superiors when we returned to Washiagton. On the matter of the viea for AHLASH-3, we pointed out that we eoulé not intercede for AMLASH-~3 in either case because it would be compromising to his. To illustrate the point we explaieed that both governzents knew that 4NLASH-3 was a Captais in the Rebel Army and had up uatil recently been working activety for a ministry of the Cuban Government aud therefore considered a Cuban officiel working in behalf ef the Castre Government. Ag such AMLASH-3, or anyone in that position, would not be entitied to enter either country weder sormal circumstances, fe pointed out that theCuban Government. in all probability knew of this; and, if AMLASH-3 or acne re cmepLbEEE eH come em HF ee dal tiene Sikl ath tsa it nate Aliiswa eect eee tis P= ab eanobabe Recenter ataes a mk a TAC OECAOITER RY Car LORA mates Sone hIe ene blots Rantdntatestenietain ae ered hoy . we ati seams Paste }406. © QoeAoier taratRaba a susbiain or ket dose af pat 1h heer ree) oe ee ee aa “3 tcl Pe a4 Pe ee ny cdi Oe REASON TEAIEY SRO RIED BA Enth ek a ORAL tte ato DR IBAA HE ee nieNe Slnntlish Re AD at dD AEs ay Thnk ut asehnne skeet Bee mat anima mit om Late Marton ¢ AB 5 stmmne ant PRP oD eer f

He repeated his previous positions that the marriage of AMBIDDY-1 and AHLASH-1 would broed no good, that an unnecessary number of people now know of AHLAS#-1's plane, and that AMLASE-1 himeel? was very ekeptical ef the arrangement with AMBIDDY-1,.
