action which was taken in September 1962 to insure that a security

breach would not occur as a result of an investigation which was

being carried out by the identity I relative to the lact that the

establishment of the Identity 2 was being kept from the YOBELT

South Campus as a result of security restrictions which were in some

way, related to JuDUSK.

to the fulfillment of the over-all JYAVE mission.

this, a special activities report is being submitted to cover the

nature of IMTAVE!&

relationship with AMCARBON-1 during the

period December. 1962 to Márch 1964.

FRAME OF REFERENCE FOR JAYAVE'S RELATIONSHIP WITH AHCARDON-1.

ANCARSON-2 Introduced ANCARLON-I tO INUICAN, ANCAIEON-Z

reviewed the ground rules under which he had been cooperating

w1th REUTEMAN.

This review was conducted for AlCARboN-1's

benefit, in order that he might clearly understand the frame of

reference. which should prevail in his relatlonships with REUTENAN.

In this review, AMCArbON-? pointed out that it was the policy

of the Identity s that it would take no action which would

purposely embarrags KUBARk or its South Florida operations. As

• a result, if any embarrassing 1tems relative to KUBARK'& operations

•In South Florida did come to the attention of the Identity 3, this

material would be brought to REUTEMAN's immediate attention.

AMCARBON -2 made it clear to AMCARBON-1 that such items should be

discussed with REUTIMAN In & frank manner.

In addition,

the point that,

after an Item was discussed, AUCARBON-1

should follow REUTILAN'S guidance relative

to how any particularly

embarrassing item might be handled by the Identity 3,

would not expose KUBArK operations and, at the same time, would

not jeopardize the journalistic reputation of the Identity 3.

In addition, AMCARDON-2 pointed out that,

1I AMCARBON-1 brought

a potentially embarrassing item to REUTENAN's attention and

remedial action on the matter was not taken, by REUIELlAN within

• reasonabLe period of time.

then the Identity 3 would feel free

to expose any ineptness on KUBARK's part.

AMCARBON-2 pointed

out that in return for this cooperation fron the Identity 3,

REUTELAN had agreed that he would be avallable for contact by

telephone or periodic personal meetings at which AMCARPON-1

and ANCARBON-2 could discuss broad trends and developmenta in

Latin American affairs.

ANCARBON-2 advised ANCARBON-1 that this

arrangement did not mean that ANCARBON-1 could expect to obtain

any classifled information frOM REUTIMAN.

The point nas also

made that AMCARBON-1 should not press for the obtaining of

classifled information, but he should be alert to steering tips

which REUTEMAN might furnish him on fast-breaking news storios.

ANCAREON-1 Indicated that he understood the frame of reference

which had been outlined by AMCARBON-2.

This frame of reference

has prevalled throughout JYAVE's relatlonship with AMCAREON-1

during the perlod December 1962 to March 1964.

AMCARBON-1'S JOURNALISTIC CANNER.

ANCARBON-1 originally

started to work for the identity 3 in 1951 on the City Desk,

and subsequently advanced from this assignment to an assignment

which entailed covering major political developments in Florida.

At a later date, ANCARBON-1 became a feature writer for the

Identity 3.

Then In July or August 1962,

AMCARBON -1 way made

OPERATIONAL SUPPORT.

to carry out certain oporational support tasks..

On occasion, AMCARBON-1 18 used

In such instances,

ANCARBON-1 makes his inquiries or carries out the required action

within the context of his normal journalistic activitles.

USe OI ANCARBON-1 for operational support tasks enables JMlAVE to

harness the investigative facilitles of the Identity 3.

Several

uxamples of how AlCARBON-1 has been used in operational support

tasks are outlined below:

'Andrew ORDONO Camps.

This effort was not productive,

thUS ANCARBON-1 was asked to locate OrDONO.

ORDONO in Houston, Texas. See WAVE-6307, dated 25 March 1963, for

details.

In UFGH-2555, dated 13 September 1963,

Discrediting Carlos BANDIN of the HRR Splinter Group.

Headquarters suggested that

JMYAVE might

be able to discredit Carlos BANDIN Cruz (201-309611)

of the MRR splinter group as & result of BANDIN'a overinflated clalms

relative to his faction Invading Cuba.

Headquarters' interest in

discrediting BANDIN was also stimulated by the fact that BANDIN's

Irresponsible publicity stunts were causing problems for AMBIDDY-1.

Ag'a result of Headquarters' interest in this matter,

REUTEMAN had

& luncheon session with AlCArBoN-l on 24 september 1963, at which

AMCARBON-1 was advised that the BANDIN faction of the MRR was. less

than accurate in its claims relative to its activities in Cuba.

In view of this, REUtiMAn suggested that the Identity 3 might want

to soft peddle any future war communiques which the BANDIN faction

might release.

AMCARBON-I stated that, in view of REUTEMAN ' s

comments, the

Identity 3 would not only soft peddle, but would

ignore

the BANDIN faction in the future.

Once BANDIN was discreditad

with AMCARBON-1, the word was soon leaked by AMCARBON-1 to otber

newspapermen that BANDIN was not a reliable source.

As a result

of this action, the BANDIN group has received minimal media coverage

In South Florida since September 1963.

OPERATIONAL INTELLIGENCE.

to February 1964, AICARBON-1 has jurnished JWAVE With operational

Intelligence as outlined below:

probably be & knowledgeable source on the current activities of the

UR in Cuba.

This operational Intelligence was most helpful in

terms of keeping JMVAVE Informed on AMBIND-l's movements.

Subsequent

developments revealed that ANCAREON-1 could not contact AMBEND-1

and thus AMBIND-l's return to the United States did not cause the

publlalty stir. that was inttially anticipated.

PROPAGANDA OUTLET.

AMCARBON-I has been used successfully,

during the period oovered by this report,

as & propaganda outlet

chrough which items of interest to KUBARK could be surfaced in

the free world press.

In this fiold are outlined below:

Examples of how ANCARBON-I has been harnegsed

The API Montevideo story highlighted AMCRAB-1'g information

relative to GOC activities In Uruguay.

The story in the Diarlo

de las Americas' had an extremely

limited impact on Spanish readers

In the Mian1 arer. As a result, it was decided to do a series

of feature stories on AMCRAB-1, pointing up the fact that AMCRAB-1

was typical of the veterans of the Granma expedition, who felt

they had been betrayed by CASTRO and had been relegated to positions

of obscurity once the revolution had put CASTRO in power.

AMCARBON -1

was briefed in detall on the AMCRAB-l story, and he was given an

• opportunity to debrief AMCRAB-1 under controlled conditiong in a

JANAVE safehouse.

After completing his debriefiag, ANCARDON-I

vrote a series of feature articles on AMCRAB-1.

The first article

In the series received front page headline play. The series of

articles on AMCRAB-1 were well written, and they provided an

excellent peg for JMVAVE to mount a replay operation via other

propaganda assets... AlCARBON-l's story on AMCRAB-1 was picked up

API and others, and it was played throughout Latin Anerica.

The details of this

surfacing can be found in WAVE 5826,

14 October 1963; WAVE 6092, dated 19 October 1963; and,
