I had been sent to in order to make arrangements

for the families who were leaving Cuba with me,

I was detained by two men whoädentified themselves

to me with credentias as G-2 Agents.

They took me

to an office in Havana, of which I do not know the

address.

In this office, they kept me for eight

to ten hours.

While I was detained, a man dressed

in olive drab uniform interrogated me.

This man

accused

me of being an Agent for the Central

Intelligence Agency (CIA) of the United States,

which I denied.

At the request of this uniformed

wanted to leave* Cuba.

In order to assure me that

I would have no problem

leaving Cuba, I

called the telephone number of JAIME RODRIGUEZ,

the number they had given me previously, and asked

hem to contact me on an urgent matter.

A little

later, three men dressed in civilian dothing

airlyed in a car, and one of them identified

himself as JAIME

RODRIGUEZ. He was a white man,

5'8"

beard and large ears.

He gave me no specific

instructions, but told me to stay in conta ct

with them.

After this, I had no contact with the CIS

until about february or March of 1967.

This

was after I had been detained by United States

Customs Agents in Miami when I was trying to

leave for Cuba by boat. On this occasion,

February 21, 1967, I was arrested and charged

with Ässaulting a Federal Officey, and I was

freed on bond,

awaiting trial. After I was out

on bond and while I was awaiting trial, I was

restricted to the state of Florida.

In the meantime,

I wrote the second letter to RAMIRO VALDES and

sent it enclosed in a letter addressed tom

In this letter, I told lAudes, that

I was in a difficult situation and could not

Since the first contact with (JIMENEZ, I have

IN THE UNITED STATES

the information that I have given to CIS has been

deceiving or false, and I have been careful to

insure that the false information could not be

checked on.

To demonstrate that I was a reliable

person, •I gave

certain information about events

that had already happened which could be verified

or which was public information.

For example,

after one clandestine trip to Cuba carried out

by Cuban exiles,

I gave information about this

trip, but only after they had returned to the

Unitrd States. I never have given information

which could have jeopardized any person, to the

best of my knowledge.

In December of 1968, I furnished to JIMENEZ

a completely lake story about a plan by Cuban

exiles in Miami to assassinate FIDEL CASTRO.

1

told him that they were going to make this attack

while CASTRO was speaking at the annual celebration

on the first or second of January, 1969.

I told

DIMENEZ that the rames of the Cuban exiles involved

in this plan were the following:

ALFREDO JIMENEZ

JUAN VAI DEZ

(first name unknown) Aur, ady Cubats

known

NCO.". I told JIMENEZ that they would

use grenades, poison gas

and silencers.

I reported

that I had received this information from a Cuban

whose last name is SAVeDRa who is a boat

mechanic working for all agency of the United

States Government in Miami.

After giving him this report, JIMENEZ. called

me several times each week during December of 1968,

to find out if I had learned more about this

attempt against

the life of FiDEL CASTRO.

In

January of 1969, I reported to JIMENEZ that the

group had returned, and had failed in their

mission.

To the best of my knowledge, none of

these persons exist, with the exception of

(SAAVEDNA.

In making these reports, I used certain

code words which had been given to me by

JIMENED, and they are as follows:

These code words have been used by me in

telegrams sent to addresses in Cuba designated

by JIMENEZ, which I have previously furnished to

the FBI.

The telegrams which I sent were

signed with *the code name

"ALFREDO"' and other

names.

These telegrams were only sent to Cuba.

Near the end of 1967, JIMENEZ told me to

make a trip to Cuba with a select group, which

/ included ADOLFO BORGES, and he told me that I

would receive documents in Cuba which would

indicate that a Cuban wanted to defect irom

the Cuban Government.

- Then,

upon returning

Irom Cuba, I should hand over these documents

to the United States Government. JIMENEZ told;

me that this Cuban would pretend to be a defector,

reliting to the policies of President RICHARD

NIXON, concerning the Cuban situation.

TIMENEZ also instructed me to talk with

MANUEL ARTIME about the Cuban problem.

My last contact with JIMENEZ was at 1:00 AM,

February 20, 1969, at which time he called me

by telephone while I was in the house of ADOLFO?

(BORGES) in Miami. JIMENEZ had told me he was going

to call me on February 14, 1969, at Miami

number 642-9176. I waited for the call, and

since he did not call me, I sent a telegram to

Havana, Cuba, addressed to OLGA RODRIGUEZ, Calle 31 #108;

between first and Second Aventes, Varater o, Ma tanzas,

Cuba.

In the telegram, 1 wrote,

vere enclosed in a small, plastic envelope which

had been placed in a secret compartment of the carrying

case for a Schick electric shaver. Source said JIMENEZ

gave him the electric shaver along with the carrying
