JAN 21 1972 MICROFILMED DOC. MICRO. 1, The purpose of this dispatch is: (A) to suggest the possibility that Manuel Eugenio VEGA Perez, former Chief of the DGI Center in Mexico City, may now be operating in Miami, and (B) to check out this possibility through Headquarters traces and cooperation with FBI/Miami, 2. FBI/Miami previously reported that, on 13 June 1971, a call was made te Antonio CASTRO, Havana telephone number 99-4282, by Albio CASTRO, Miami number 885-4194, Reference A relayed the information to FBI/Miami that Manuel Eugenio VEGA Perez! Havana telephone number was 99-4282, according to a report dated 11 August 1964, That same reference also provided the information that VEGA Perez had been identified by several sources as an officer of the Cuban DGI; his DGI alias is "Marcos"; he was assigned to the Cuban Embassy in Mexico City from April 1962 to June 1966 and, during the last two years of his tour, was Chief of the DGI Center there; and, in October 1966, he was reported to be Director of International Relations for the Cuban National Council of Culture, (While this appointment to the Council of Culture may seem an odd one for a DGI officer, we know that the DGI arranges for its personnel to be assigned such jobs in order to qualify them for Ministry of Foreign Relations & Distribution: Continued... .Orig & 2 - C/WHD a DUPATCA SYMBOL AND NUMBER * DATE Ur AA-3730 CASICATION y/201-334253 DP) 19-5-35
FORM 8-64 tHOd DISPATCH  tseere 1 / Beda Bra T UFAA-3750 4s . _L a oe posts overseas, For example, DGI officers have been assigned to the Casa De Las Americas in preparation for assignments as Cultural Attaches, Orlando CASTRO Hidalgo also reported that the Cuban Institute of Friendship with Peoples is now under the control of the DGI,) Reference A also advised FBI/Miami that this Station had no information on VEGA Perez! activities subsequent to October 1966, , 3. Reference E noted that one "Marcos" (true name unknown) was assigned to Section Ill of the DGI. (Section Ul is divided into nine sections: CIA, Counter-Revolution, UN, Mexico, Canada, USSR, Czechoslovakia, . East Germany, and a False Documentation Support unit.) Perhaps this "Marcos" is Manuel Eugenio VEGA Percz: seems likely in view of VEGA Perez background. 4, It should also be noted that FBI/Miami provided information that one "Marcos" LNU made a call on 1 June 1971 from Miami telephone 374-2173 . (a pay phone) to "Catalina't LNU at Santiago de Cuba telephone number 5-4792, Although this Station was unable to find any record of Santiago5-4792, Havana 5~4792 appearéd-on.a list of names, addresses and telephone numbers of persons believed to be members of Cuban G-2, The list, provided by INS/Miami in July 1961, lists this Havana number as belonging to one Jorge FERNANDEZ (LNU), The list was comipiled by INS from a notebook belonging to Salvador MIZRAJA Behar, born 22 September 1926 in Havana, Cuba, MIZRAJA Behar, a naturalized U.S, citizen, was a Captain in Cuban Army Intelligence in 1959 and 1960, He returned to the U.S, in 1961, 5. The possibility exists that an error was made in the original notation by MIZRAJA Behar; he may have intended to write "Santiago 5~4792" rather than "Havana 5-4792", Another possibility is that names of cities were unintentionally transposed later in copying this list, Although the connection -if there is one- is very tenuous, there is-also the possibility that the "Marcos" who called from the pay phone on 1 June 1971 is Manvel Eugenio VEGA Perez, now operating as Chief of a DGI (or DSE) Center in Miami, The Station believes, however, that this latter possibility is worth further investigation and that the place to begin is to attempt to trace VEGA Perez! assignments since October 1966, I. a 6. Action Requested: (A) Traces on Manuel Eugenio VEGA Perez, aka "Marcos", with particular attention to period October 1966 to the present; (B) Traces on Salvador MIZRAJA Behar, DPOB: 22 September 1926, Havana, Cuba;, (C) Traces on Antonio CASTRO, Havana telephone number 99-4282,- and on Albio CASTRO, Miami number 885-4194, (Station WH/Miami has several traces on the name Antonio CASTRO but none identifiable with Cuban Intelligence, There is one Antonio CASTRO listed in the 1967 Havana telephone directory at 19 No, 552, Vedado, telephone number 32-8160, The * Station has no traces on Albio CASTRO, } LOE He 4 Lewis ¥, SHOQU , RAGE HOD : [| CONTINUED 1 2 of 2 epee OD CLASSIFICAT |S 53a USE PREVIOUS EDITION Ce oe : .
