AXLASH-1 or members of his group. AMWHIP<i -véphied that he ‘enew GB who had been a friend — of AMLASH-1"s_ for, the past twenty years. AMWHIP~1 stated > .-that GB was essentially a crook, and his assessment of 20- - GB corresponded pretty well with that forwarded in (IADR) 3486 <CIN 24295). . ANWHIP-1 stated it was possible, but not [ye2 probabié, that GB had been sent by the ANLASH. group to. convey the message as indicated in the forementioned (MADR) - cable, AMWHEP-I-further stated he felt GB would be personally loyal to AMLASH-1 in spite of any DSE suggestion to the contrary. (This again is a feeling which AMWHIP=-1 had and :is not to be taken as gospel.) He also mentioned the brother of GB, Jorge, on whom there are a number of traces at Headquarters. 5. AMWHIP-1 also discussed the contents of a letter received from AMLASH-2. The essential part of this letter plus a telephone call from ANLASH-3 from Madrid was that AMLASH-3 was somewhat upset by the fact that he was having difficulty in getting a visa for the U. 5. and/or the Dominican Republic, AMWHIP-1 then spent considerable time discussing the treatment of AMLASH-2 and AMLASH-3 in Qadri by KUBARK, He said he felt that AMLASH-2 and ANLASH-3 should be coatacted by KUBARK and treated and handled well. If this were done, they would both serve a “very useful purpose for KUBARK ends both in Europe and in Cuba. The undersigned told ANWHIP-1 that we essentially agreed with his position and would take up the matter with our superiors when we returned tq Washington, On the - matter of the visa for ANLASH-3, we pointed out that we could ‘not intercede for AMLASH-3 in either case because it would be compromising to hin. To illustrate the point we explained that both governments knew that AMLASH-3 was a Captain in-the Rebel Army and had up until recently been working actively for a ministry of the Cuban Government and therefore considered a Cuban official working in behalf of the Castro Government. As such AMLASH-3, or anyone in that position, would not be entitled to enter either country under normal circumstances, We pointed out that theCuban Government in all probability knew of this; and, if AMLASH-3
“ OOD Yi succecded easily in entering cither country, this would be a rather obvious indication to the Cuban DSE that _AMLASH-3 must be cooperating with one or the other governa- ment, AMWHIP-1 accepted the explanation and felt it would be readily understandable and a good excuse to give ‘to AMLASH-3. 6. AMWHIP-1 also taiked at length on the subject of ANBIDDY-1 and AMLASH-1. He repeated his prey ious osition “that the. marriage. of AMBIDDY-1 and AMLASH-1 would brood no good, ‘that an unnecessary number of people now know of © AMLASH-1's plans, and that AMLASH-1 himself was very. ’ skeptical of the arrangement with ANBIDDY-1. Furthermore, as a result of this, he is somewhat unsure of his position vis-a-vis ODYOKE. 9. ANWHIP-1 said he would advise us of his exact ‘departure date in the.event we had any further instructions for him, The meeting terminated at 1320 hours. There were no incidences of a security nature to report. . fx
