1. PRECISE WHEREABOUTS OF CAPTAIN JOSE

A BR

AHANTES IS

NOT KNOWN TO US, BUT WE HAVE NO REASON TO BELIEVE THAT HE IS OUT-

SIDE OF CUBA: GIVEN HIS RANK (VICE MINISTER OF INTERIOR AND HEAD

OF THE DSE), IT SEEMS HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT HE WOULD BE ENGAGED IN A

MISSION WITH SUCH PATENTLY HIGH FLAP POTENTIAL. OUR FILE ON JOYE

DOES NOT INDICATE THAT HE HAS EVER USED' WAR NAME "FIDEL." CON-

PARISON OF OUR MOST RECENI (CIRCA 1965) PHOTOGRAPH OF JOSE WITH

PHOTO 169 COF JUAND IN MUG BOOK LEADS US TO CONCLUDE THAT JOSE

AND JUAN ARE NOT IDENTICAL. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION OF JOSE AS FOLLOWS:

THIRTY NINE YEAR OLD CAUCASIAN WITH BLACK HAIR AND EYES. DARK

COMPLETED, MEDIUM BUILD, ROUND FACE AND GENERALLY REGARDED AS

HANDSONE. DIFFERENT SOURCES ESTIMATE HIS HEIGHI AND WEIGHT AS RANG-

ING FROM FIVE FOOT SEVEN TO FIVE FOOT NINE AND FROM 140 LBS TO 175

LBS.

2.:

•WE HAVE NO PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION OF JUAN ABRAHANTES AND CAN

PROVIDE NO INFORMATION ON HIS CURRENT WHEREABCUIS.

3. MAJOR ROLANDO CU BEL A SECADES (201-252234) WAS ARRESTED

IN EARLY 1966 FOR CONSPIRING WITH CIA AGAINST THE CUBAN GOVERNMENT

GENERALLY AND FIDEL CASTRO SPECIFICALLY. HIS SENTENCE WAS FOR 25

YEARS.. IN THE INTERIM WE HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL REFUGEE REPORTS TO

THE EFFECI THAT CUBZLA IS STILL (AS. OF AUGUST 1971) IN THE LA CABANA

PRISON WHERE IS

WORKING AS A MEDICAL DOCTOR. WE HAVE NO PHYSICAL

DESCRIPTION OF. CUBELA AND HAVE NO FURTHER INFORMATION CONCERNING

HIS WHEREABOUTS. HOWEVER, UNLESS THE ENTIRE ARREST AND TRIAL IN

1966 AND SUBSEQUENI IMPRISONMENT OF CUBELA WERE A TOTAL FARSE, WE IN-

QINED TO DOUBI THAT CUBELA WOULD BE ENTRUSTED WITH THIS SORT OF

MISSION.

JOSE ANGEL BUSTAMANTE

O'LEARY <201-822396) WAS BORN

IN JANUARY 1911 AND IS CURRENTLY A PROFESSOR PHYCHOLOGY AT THE

UNIVERSITY OF HAVANA MEDICAL SCHOOL. IN NOVEMBER 1971, ALONG WITH

FIDEL CASTRO, HE MADE CONTACT WITH CHILEAN DRUG TRAFFICERS (DIRECTOR

281184). WE HAVE NO PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION OR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AS

TO BUSTAMANTE'S WHEREABOUTS, BUT ARE INCLINED TO THINK THAT HIS

AGE WOULD RULE HIM OUT OF THIS SORT OF EXERCISE.
