1. THE LAST SECRET WRITING MESSAGE FROM AMTRUNK/1O WAS

RECEIVED AT WAVE IN JULY 1964.

PREVIOUS TO THIS MESSAGE, WAVE

HAD RECEIVED ONLY CHE OTHER S/W LETTER FROM AMTRUNK/1O SINCE HIS

RECRUITHENT IN HAVANA IN AUGUST 1963• BY CONTRAST, WAVE SENT 10

S/W MESSAGES TO AMTRUNK/10 DURING THE PERIOD FROM SEPTEMBER 1963

THROUGH AUGUST 1564.

SINCE AMTRUNK/10 HAD DEMONSTRATED LITTLE

INITIATIVE IN COOPERATING WITH KUBARK AND SINCE HE HAS ALSO

EMBROILED IN THE LILASH COMPLEX, WAVE DECIDED AGAINST CONTINUING

TO PROD AMTRUNK/10 TO TAKE AN ACTIVE ROLE IN THE MHAPRON OBJECTIVES

ASSIGNED TO HIM.

WAVE HAS THEREFORE DISCONTINUED ANY FURTHER

CORRESPONDENCE WITH AMTRUNK/ 10-

THE KEY TO AMTRUNK/1O'S PRESENT SITUATION IN CUBA MIGHT

BE FOUND IN THE HEADQUARTERS-DIRECTED AMLASH/ I OPERATION, THE

STATUS OF WHICH IS PRESENTLY UNCLEAR TO WAVE.

ANOTHER COMPLICATING FACTOR MAY BE THE ARREST IN LATE

DECEMBER 1965 OF ANTRUNS/11, A SUPPORT ASSET KNOWN TO AKTRUNK/10.

THE ONLY DETAILS KNOWS TO WAVE SURROUNDING THE ARREST OF AMTRUNK/11

ARE FOUND IN REFS & AND G.

WAVE BELIEVES IT POINTLESS TO QUESTION NIEVES FURTHER ON

AMTRUNK/10, SINCE INFO THUS FAR PROVIDED, LIKE ALL NEVES® INFO,

HAS BEEN INCONSISTENT •

"HILE IN 15 JANUARY 66 DEBRIEFING NIEVES

SAID AMTRUNK/10 WAS ONE OF SIX CENMANDERS OF HIS GROUP WHO WERE

THE ERCUP •

ENTIRE CONSPIRATORIAL GROUP IS

A FIGMENT OF NIEVES* IMAGINATION.
