From conversations ak LEB eseatattves. it appeared that the agents were compromised because they were seen to be in direct contact with the undercover operatives whom CIA had placed in Cuba. The CIA agents assigned to the Embassy evidently mixed socially with the CIA undercover operatives and in this manner became known to Cuban authorities. ¢ Another eth representative, DAVIDROt also been recalled to the United Statés as it has been feared that his contact with counterrevolutionary groups in Havana, Cuba, might. be known to Cuban G-2. _ With respect to the four operatives who were undercover and who are presently. being detained by Cuban police, these individuals have not been seen by any representatives of the U. S. Embassy for the past month. The Cuban Government . has given no indication as to t penalty they might suffer. (0, spe CIA station Chief, fae expressed his concern _ an to the Legat, Havana, concerning the possible action which A ff: the Cuban Government might take against these individuals. tot One source informed Legat he was informed by a G-2 a representative that the Cuban Government might ask for the death penalty for these four, but that if such penalty is decreed, it would be reduced to a jail term of 30 years. The present set-up of the CIA station in Havana is as follows: i bee transfer to Rio de Janeiro for the pe past month, Assistant Chief.
