The Subject mentioned in paragraph 2 of Reference A, who alle edly drew up the plans and r tedl ceived spe m is a former WAVE asset AMCROAK-1, who was apparently arrested sometime in late April or early May 1965, ts 2. At the time of AMCROAK-1's recruitment in Madrid, Spain, in December 1963, AMCROAK-1 discussed a plan concerning the_physical ad elimination of GOC officials with the WAVE Recruiting Officer, see Reference C,. During the course of this discussion the WAVE Recruiting ~ Officer learned that AMTURVY-13 was one .of the principal conspirators involved in the plot and that the plotters claimed to possess the weapons and ammunition to perpetrate the dead. All they required was 35,000 pesos in order to.obtain a truck, two automobiles and places to hide after the attempt was made, The WAVE Recruiting Officer told AMCROAK-1 that ODYOKE did not condone such attempts and no—comli tnents were made to AMCROAK~1 insofar as (0) supporting the plot was_ concerned, No weapons of any kind were ever sent to AM an <p oneemmarennmtrvtnnrr a ttt ss aF In eS Shc Shh SSNS Pv 3. Upon returning to Cuba, following his recruitment, AMCROAK~1 submitted several persistent requests tor funds to purchase two automobiles, Since OAK-1 said in Madrid that two automobiles were fequired to carry out the plan mentioned in paragraph 2 above, it was suspected that AMCROAK-1 was still involved in this matter. Therefore, he was told that WAVE would be willing to provide the funds for one car for his operational use but not for two, He was also told to remember the discussions in Madrid, that we did not. condone AMTURVY-13" g oat v or (4 C oe — 3 - WH/C . | 30 Aug 65 ‘2 - iy a U7 Ge _ 6 Sep 1- 1965 a 9 cos, Madri | CROSS REFERENCE TO DISPATCH SYMBOL AND NUMBER a C/WE Bee Aa Sie |S ' >.

In an SW message dated 11 March 1964, AMCROAK-1 responded that he had "forgotten about the AMTURVY-13 matter", leading WAVE to believe that he had disassociated himself from AMTURVY-13 and his proposed plot, AMTURVY-13 was never mentioned again in any correspondence received from AMCROAK-1, Since that time all of AMCROAK-~1l's messages contained positive intelligence and operational matters only. No further mention of AMTURVY-13 was ever made in his messages, However, in view of the information contained in paragraph 2 of Reference A, WAVE believes that this could be the reason for AMCROAK-1's compromise. It is believed that AMCROAK-1 was arrested because of his own indiscretion and because he did not heed our instructions to keep away from AMTURVY-13., Philip G, ELMARD
