However, this unknown agent's reports were never very complete

and were sporadic. It was extremely difficult to communicate

with him, and his reports contained less

information after

the arrival of G-ll and were delayed for long periods of time.

When Cuban Agent G-1] was sent to the United States, it was

the hope of the DGI that he would soon be able to handle most

After he began to report on a

regular basis, the unknown agent was discontinued. Additionally,

some type of problem with the unknown agent developed.

it was of such importance that the DGI discontinued his operation.
