CLASGIFICATION 3, To this end steps were initiated in on 24 July 1963. to put the AMLEO-3 family and AMLEOQ-2 into asylum in the Mexican Embassy in Yavana. The AMLEO-3 family and AMLEO-2 were advised yia the AMWEE-1 OWVL channel on 4 August 1963 to prepare themselves for asylum and to await further orders via the same channel. iKUBARK Station in Mexico City, meanwhile, took urgent Foreign Ministry ‘obtain’ visas for the AMLEO-3 family and AMLEO-2; and then send word to the Mexican Embassy in Havana, Cuba that the AHLEO-3 family and AMLEQ-2 should be granted asylum when they appeared at the Mexican Consulate under cover of obtaining their visas. The visa portion of the operation was - gatisfactorily completed and notification of same was sent. into — the Mexican Embassy in Havana; but word re asylum for the AMLEO-3. family and AMLEQ-2 wag not sent to the Mexican embassy due to insecure commo channels and lack of trusted couriers, and ' .to date no secure method has yet been. found to notify the Mexican i: Embassy. an Havana. that. asylum should be granted to the AMLEQs. 4. As. a/result of the above, word was gent to AMWEE-1 -|..- via OWL on1l September requesting he detemsine whether or not . - Identity A’ would be willing to act az intermediary to receive the AMLEQ-3 family and AMLEO-2 into asylum at a specific time . and date at the. Mexican consulate. AMWEE~-1 asked for clarification on the manner of approaching Identity A on the case on 13 September via pouch, and more detailed guidance on the matter was sent to him via OWVL on 14 September. A final. reply re possibilities for action via this channel is expected from AMWEE-1 momentarily. If the AMWEE-1 reply is favorable, then he will be told te arrange the meeting at the Mexican consulate between the AMLEOs and identity A 89 that they can be taken into asylum by the. Hexicans. 5, As noted in reference B, if the AMWEE-1 report is a negative one, then consideration will be given to having the AMLEOs take asylum in the Uruguayan Embassy in Havana. The _ test case utilizing AMCANOL-3, mentioned in paragraph 5 4 of reference B, is to be attempted on or about 21 August 1963, and if this attempt at asylum is successful then arrangements will be made to have she ANLECS enter the Uruguayan Embassy in the game manner. . 6. As noted in. paragraph 1 of reference B, the wife. of AMLEO-3 finally made a direct contact with ANTHUG=<1 on 7 ‘September 1963, while he was at his Santa Maria beach house, . and appealed toa him for permission to leave Cuba with her childrei and rejoin her husband AMLEO-3 in the United States.. On 14 September 1963 AMLEO-3 received a letter from his wife giving wore details on the above meeting. The wife of AMLEO-3 had been visiting the beach home of a family friend, situated next to that of AMTHUG~1 on Santa Maria beach, on a daily basis hoping to see AMTHUG-1. Finally, om 7 September 1963, she saw. -him swimming alone in the ocean ard promptly went into the water, introduced herself , and requested prmission to talk to hin. AMTHUG~1 granted ths permission, and during their conversation - AMTHUG-1 made it clear he would not grant Mrs. AMLEOQ-3 permission to depart Cuba at this time, stating that the tine was not -propitious due to the attacks and raids being carried out against Cuba, and that Mrs. AMLEO-3 would just have to wait. Mrs. AMLEO-3 then told him she did not sce why he was holding her a and her children respoagible for what her husband did; that she Ae ‘feared her husband might forget her and their, children completely. Af the separation continued, and that if AMLEO-3 yas left much nen longer alone he would find a woman to replace her. ANTHUG-1. Oo -husband?"

Later during the conversation AMTHUG-1 asked - Mrs. AMLEO~3 if her husband still had the presentation Soviet pistol that he had given him in 1961, and Mra.

Later on, while discussing her conversation with AMTHUG-1 with Identity 5, Identity Gb suggested to Mrs, AMLEO-3 that she request AMLEO-3 -to send the pistol back to AMTHUG-1 via Ambassador LECUUGA at the United Hations, NYC. Identity B added that the return of the pistol might help matters gince the loss of the pistol had been one of the things that. bothered AMTHUG-1 most when - AMLEG-3 defected. (i.e. AMLEO-3 has noted that these special presentation Soviet pistols were given by AMTHUG-1 to probably. less. than ten people in Cuba, and their presentation had a very special meaning for AMTHUG-1 since the recipients were supposed ‘to be his very personal and close friends. AMLEO-3 claims that not even AHLOUT-1 had received one of these special “presentation pistols from AMTHUG~1.)

The balance of Mra.

During the reporting period AMLEO-3 has consistently « been cooperative with his C/O and has maintained a good attitude towards his work. During the latter part of Aigust 1963 AMLEO-3 began to lose. his patience with the slow progress in getting his wife into asylum, and began requesting. permission to return to Cuba himself in order to exfiltrate his wife black. AMLEO-3 became quite demanding in this regard and claimed that KUBARK's time had run out, and since he had waited patiently for nine months he now felt it was his turn to try his luck. AMNLEO-3 ig extremely confident of. his own ability in action situations and operations and extensive argumentation was needed to . persuade him that guch a course of action would be suicidal for his wife and children and that his wisest course of action would be to give us additional time to bring the asylum operation | to a successful conclusion. Because of AMLEO~3's faith in a higher authority, COS JHWAVE, Andrew K. REUTEMAN visited AMLEO=<3 3 on 8 September 1963 for the purpose of convincing him that any cc - uailateral action on bis part would only be counterproductive . and playing right into. AMTHUG-1's hands. KUBARK's limited commitments to AMLEO-3 were also reviewed along with the history of our actions to help his wife and children leave Cuba legaluy. After some frank exchanges of facts AMLEC-3 was finally convinced that the only productive course of action left to him was. to continue to sweat out the asylum proposition and hope for the best. Absolutely no further commitments were made. to AMLEO=-3 during these discussions and alternate courses of action if the asylum attempts fail were not discussed but dinstead left in abeyance. a 7 he 3 een OPERATIONAL SUPPORT AND PLANNING = — 14.
