(Comment: This was a lie told to conceal the fact that it had been AMCUTLEN-% who had in- troduced thes.) She said that AMFAUNA-1 had been her lover until about.

Referring back to AMFAUNA-1's automobile, ABAD asked what kind of a car he had driven. AMFAUNA-14 replied that it was a gray Chevrolet Impala. She repeated that AMFAUNA-1 had formerly parked it near her office, but said that she had not gsen it recently.

ABAD commented that the DSE had observed AMFAUNA-1 in his automobile in the Havana dock area on 1 January 1963, having a meeting with another person. (AMFAUNA-14 recalls that this other person was AMPAUNA-24, and that he and AMFUANA-1 had rendezvoused in the dock area after an attempt to pick up AMFAUNA-1's radio. 83. With reference to the KUBARK agent known ag "Julio", whom they had recently identified with AMFAUNA-1, ABAD said that he knew ¢hat “Julde" had left Cuba in October 1962 and believed that he had gone to Burope, but he said he did not know whether "Julio" had gone cleadestinely or legally. 24, AMPAUNA~14 was agked about AMFAUNA-1‘'s subsources in other previnces, but she said she knew nothing about them.

AMPAUNA-1 with his business and that the son probably had had nothing to do with clandestine work. ao 96. ABAD again turned to the envelope of papers found in AMFAUNA~14 a apartment, and said he could see she was not cooperating with him. She was not volunteering information, he said, but waiting to be asked questions. ABAD said he was sure that there was much that AMPAUNA-14— eould tell him spontaneously, and he intimated that there might be a- ehaace for her to rehabilitate herseif. 87, ABAD asked her where the passenger lists came from. AMFAUNA~-14 weplied that they hed been left in her apartment by AMFAUNA-1, who dutended to instruct her later by SW what to do with them.

ABAD asxed AMFAURA-14 how ahe had become acquaiated with AMCUTLER-3, and AMFAUNA-14 replied that she had met AMCUTLER-2 through AMPAUNA-15, the wife of a cousin of AMFAUNA~14 who ig a prigcner on the Tele of Pines, t $0.

ABAD asked AMFAUNA-14 if she were # revolutionary. ANMFAUNA-14 g@aid thet she was not, but that neither was the against the revolution, She said that she had joined the militia early in the revolution, but had soos dropped out because there were some things about the revolution which ehe did not understand, For instance, she could not undergetand why thore should be so many shortages and rationing, whereas before the revolution there had been plenty. ABAD exp]sined that the shortages wer the result of the imperialist blockade of Cuba. AMPAUNA-14 seid that ehe could understand thie, but that it did not explain why there should . be a shortage of coffee when Cuba grew ite own: ABAD said that coffee was in short supply because Cuba was sending coffee to the Soviet Union in gratitude for Soviet assistance in overcoming shortages caused by the imperialiet blockade,  AMFAUNA-14 replied that this was very logical now that it had been explained to her, and said she wondered why the revolutionary government did not publicly say so in order to put an end to public grumbling on the subject. L 38. -Early in the morning of 9 October, ABAD produced the letter ae which AMPAUNA-14 received from AMFAUNA-1 on 7 October and held up the letter to the light, examining it carefully for traces of 8W.

All were very surprised and cigappointed when nd secret writing appeared. They kept asking her if she were sure she was doing it right, and began intimating that she was” deceiving them. (Station Comment: It is indeed surprising that no secret writing appeared, Bbecausé this letter was almost undoubtedly the. one containing SW message no, 1 to AMFAUNA-~-14, ) o 40. AMPAUNA~14 also explained the use of her carbons, The only accommodation address she gavé away was AMFAUNA-l's JMWAVE area post effice box. She deliberately protected the ddress. (the home of AMPAN~2), not knowing whether this wae aac or a fictitious person. 41. “Carlos” and ABAD now invited AMFAUNA-14 to work with them. She yeplied that she might be willing to do so, but first wanted to know what work would be expected of her, For instance, she said, she would not inform on people in her office, They told her that this would not be asked af her, because that sort of work ia done by the Defense Committees. Her work, they said, would be much more important, namely maintaining a link between themselves and KUBARK. She said that would be all right, but she was afraid that it would not last long because EUBARE would probably put her on ice as goon as they learned that she hed been arrested, They told her not to worry about that.  . 42, -"Carlos" and ABAD suggested to her that AMPFAUNA-1 had briefed her to agree to cooperate with them, She denied this, claiming that she had not really wanted to work with AMFAUNA-1 at all, but had- merely let herself be imposed on for old times sake. They asked whether they could trust her. Ghe said she thought so, and asked whether she could trust them to keep their promises, They assured her that she could, and said ehe would be released the following day. 43. In the morning of 10 October , after. beiiig . told that she was in be released, AMPAUNA-14 was moved to a smaller cell without a bath. ‘She: . gent for ABAD and complained ‘that he- had double-crossed her, He told
