Parmers . . rc ~ 1. During 21-26 February 1963, Andrew 3. PARMERS travelled from Headquarters to Mexico City on TDY to train LITAMIL-9 on various clandestine, operational, techniques, including SW. Upon arrival in Mexico City PARMERS ascertained that LITAMIL-9 allegedly became of moral inhibitions, was unwilling to receive training and also unwilling to accept the SW syst#ées Headquarters had issued for him, and which PARMERS had carried to Mexico City. Nevertheless, PARMERS met LITAMIL-~$ three times to determine the agents precise objections and to overcome them if possible. Although the agents general . resistance was not overcome, PARMERS did review with LITAMIL-9 clandestine methods and techniques in a general way. 2, The first meeting was held at the Station case officers home, with the Case Officer present. LITAMIL-9 ex-~ plained his reasons for refusing fo be trained and for not being willing to communicate in SW with KUBARK while in Cuba. Generally LITAMIL-9 claimed that he is very nervous, and incapable of performing clandestine tasks without having a nervous breakdown and at the same time getting himself caught in the act because of his general incompetancy. Also, LITAMIL-9 was planning to stay at his brothers home in Cuba, and felt it would be unethical and immoral for him to be communicating clandestinely with KUBARK while accepting the hospitality of his brother and sister- in-law ho are staunch supporters of the Castro regime. These PCr ie obvicuslv had already been presented to the Case Officer who had already concluded that LITANIL-9 could not be moved from his position. The agent furthermore, felt that there was no need for training or SW since he would be returning to Mexico after only three months in Cuba. He displayed a cable he had just received from his father answering LITAMIL-9's query as to what might be his next assignment. The cable stated that LITAMIL-9 would most likely return to his present post in Mexico. The agent there- fore felt that upon his return to Mexico City, he could be debriefed by his Case Officer. LITAMIL-$ rejected all attempts to convince him of our need for currest info from inside Cuba. He was adument when we pointed out that he might not return to Mexico City as hoped, but might have to remain in Cuba, having ‘nO means of contact. If this happens he plans to resign his position and return to Mexico as a private citizen, since he already is a registered “resident” of Mexico. eid alr a Laced fie, ggg a on catle isthe tle nding ch i resented Re, = Setar latade oaeiitia Somme So sebtbec™|

On Friday, 24 February, PARMERS spent most of _ the day wisiting alone with LITAMIL-9 at the latter's apart~ . ment: By the end of.the day LITAMIL-9 had softened a little — ~~ . - and | had revealed: some of -the personality traits mentioned . below. LITAMIL-9 alsa agreed to communicate with his Case ‘ Officer through open code in letters ts his brother in Mexico . City. He also was willing to meet inside KUBARK, preferably — if the contact was a diplomat but not Cuban. He agreed to teke-a set of cuff links as bona fides. As a suggestion, he mentioned that his friend, The Swiss Ambassador, now serving in Madrid, Spain, would be an ideal contact. In revealing how such a contact could be performed and in discussing LITAMIL-9 modus vévendi in Cuba, there was considerable discussiong concerning operational Security aud clandestine procedures LITAMIL-9 can apply while in Cuba. 4. LITAMIL-9 during this meeting also presented, in logical sequence, his reasons for believing that he will return to Mexico City. Basically, he feels that betwee. the fact that he haS many contacts in Mexico City (where he has lived and worked for many years) and the fact that his sister- in-law in Cuba has a responsibie position with considerable influence in the Castro Government, he, LITAMIL-9, will be re- assigned to his present post in Mexico City after three months of leave, consultations, and training in Cuba. 5. ‘The third meeting ocurred in the evening of 2 25 February, in a car pick up situation, with the Case Officer present. This time, LITAMIL-9 was less willing to communicate with KUBARK while in Cuba than he had been during the previous meeting, but with some reluctance, agreed to the use of open code and to be contacted by some diplomat. This meeting, there- fore, was a routine operational meeting, with his Case Officer in charge. 6. ‘Based upon their three meetings, PARMERS formed the following opinions of LITAMIL-9: He is a shrewd oppor: tunist, willing to colloborate with KUBARK against the Castro Government, but not. to the point where his personal security is endangered . He dislikes the Castro Regime because it has fumbled so badly, and because the current Cuban officials are crude and incompetant. He greatly admires the American people, but definitely feels that we are merely concerned about our , own national security and well-being. LITAMIL-9 owes his first loyalty to the fine arts, kas little Patriotic feelings towards Cuba, since he has lived in Mexico for so many years, and has declared himself to be a resident of Mexico. He is now serving the Cuban Government simply because he had an opportunity (through his sister~in-law) to achieve official status and income. and still remain in Mexico where most of his
