C ergy BE Te me pow aavein J S January 196f SUBJECT: LIENVOY Transectpts 1, A review by the undersigned of LIENVOY transcripts froe the perfod of Aliguat - Decemver - : /1960 reflects that the Mexico City Station is doing a reasonably goed Jod of reviewing the LIBNVOY take, felloving up leads and forwarding positive intelligence sant information te Headquarters, Ag to action being taken by the Station to follow up operat lonal ‘leads, there could perhaps be a greater effort on its part to fiaforsa Headquarters of just what La being done, However, it is quite obvious from the information reported to Headquarters: that the Station is aware of the operational leads presented in the LIENVOY traffic and presumably is doing what it can to exploit this situation, . 2. The traffie for the August ~ December period indicates that the Cuban Embassy is carrying on many clandestine and semi-clandestine contacts, Outside goneth ing parties often call stating they haveciuportant but cannot identify themselves or ; discusa the matter on the phone but do arrange for an outside meeting with. someone from the Cuban Robassy, Where possidla, the Station should attempt to cover theae outside weetings and most likely this is being dona, 3, The staff of the magazine, Politica is getting a great deal of assistance from the Soviet and Cuban Bmbassies, Personnel of these two installations are in frequent contact with the staff of Politica and do from time to time arrange out'= aide meetings, The Station should attempt to ascertain the nature and extent of Cuban-Soviet influence over Politica ag well ag determine if the Politica staff is engaged in subversive activities, Again T think {it fair te assuzs the Station ts aware of this problem and following it closely, Soviet Bubassy contacts with CARDENAS and Gutierreg ROLDAN of Pem@x are ’ most interesting, 4, j Sas Pee # 5, Biena VASQUEZ Gomez, a, RAS agent is in frequent contact with the Cuban Embassy, an investigation to determine the nature of this contact would be most helpful, The Soviet and Cuban Babassies uaintain con.act with a number of individuals who appear to be performing some semi-clandestine task on the Embassy's hehalf, From the contacts reperteld by cable anc j reme dogiiseae: reports froa the Station, it ts again evident that the Station officers are aware of these contacts and are possibly doing what they cai to follow them up, 6. It is interesting to note that aost cf the subjecta covered by the TENVOY operation are aware of the possibility that their phor$_are being_tapped,—Frea-time —- to time they commented to the effect that care should be used on the phone and that nothing of impertance should be discussed over this nedtase
