Summary
- AMFAUNA-1 is a Cuban national who was recruited and trained in the United States and returned legally to Cuba(in March 1961 to serve as 24 resident agent in Havana.) Since then he has built a net (of over twenty 24 sub-agents and has sent back 140 S/W messages, from which upwards of fifty intelligence disseminations have been made. He is highly motivated for his work and under effective control by JMWAVE. The quality of his production is, for the most part, very good and improving although he is at times distracted by an understandable interest in para-military operations. Operationally he is very skillful; however, he has been known to take unnecessary risks. There is no reason to think that he is under hostile control nor that the operation is likely in the future to be turned against us. There is, however, the real risk that he may one day fall into a G-2 trap baited with the Escambray guerrillas. If so, this will be due to the fact that contact with the guerrillas was his first assignment and, although he has been re- directed to intelligence collection, he sometimes seems to feel that he has failed in his primary mission. This, plus the fact that he evident believes that the end is now very close, is apt to make him. Vulnerave to an appeal from the "heroes of the Escambr

He has built a false identity which he uses wherever possible in his operational contacts, he is usually selective and cautious in his choice of collaborators, he takos pains to check on the security of his sub-agents, and he uses a system of cutouts for much of his work.
- Some of AMFAUNA-1's older collaborators know him by trae name, but wherever possible he introduces himself to new contacts by the name of "Julie ROJO"TE ROJO7Evidently he is now living the part of (Julio 07 ROJO to such an extent that he has in effect a double identity. In one of his S/W messages he asked that the widow of AMCUSP-1 be warned not to reveal that ("Julio") is in Cuba. Since AMFAUNA-1 is in Cuba legally, and all his family and friends know it, this can only mean that she should not reveal that AMFAUNA-1 and ("Julio ROJO") are07. identical. 201-291230 PSFudoNYAN used by sub. of 201
- In recruiting sub-agents, AMFAUNA-1 relies primarily on his own judgment and intuition. If he approves of a person, he will recruit him. However, he has shown himself to be very cautious in granting his approval. He has reported two persons whom he does not completely trust because, while otherwise well qualified, they drink. too much and are indiscreet. For two other examples, AMBOA-1 and LITAU-5 approached him separately and revealed their relationship with KUBARK, hoping to collaborate with him; AMFAUNA-1 treated them both with reserve while he checked them out with JMWAVE. He has submitted 04 the names of other contacts for checking. In the case of AMFAUNA-4, Go whom he recruited without prior checking because time did not permit it, he put his misgivings in writing: "Right away AMFAUNA-1 arranged for a personal interview, taking utmost precautions, since we have had sad previous experiences with members of CASTRO's armed forces." :.
- Once he has recruited a sub-agent, AMFAUNA-1 manages to keep. an independent eye on the former's security. On more than one occasion he has reported that one of his sub-agents is under G-2 surveillance, and that for the time being he is staying away from him. ho 9
- In general AMFAUNA-1 seems to trust in the efficiency of his security precautions. On 25 February 1962 he reported that Identity 11 had been caught, but that he was in no danger because he had been compartmented from her. This compartmentation is achieved by the use of five cutouts: AMFAUNA-2, AMFAUNA-3, AMFAUNA-4 AMBOA-1, and AMFAUNA 5, who maintain contact for AMFAUNA-1 with most if not all of his sub-agents. Chart A, which shows AMFAUNA-1 in direct contact with AMFAUNAS 7 through 13, may be in error on this point. It would be more in keeping with AMFAUNA-1's known modus operandi for him to have cutouts between himself and these sub-agents. If there is a cutout or cutouts here, their identity is not yet known. There may also be an unreported cutout between AMFAUNA-1 and AMFAUNA-4. women. women.
- Except for AMFAUNATH, all the above-mentioned cutouts are Two of his support agents, including his mail drop, are also AMFAUNA-1 has not been explicit on this point, but it is believed that he shares his favors between them. If so, he has the best of cover for his relations with them. It also clarifies the otherwise puzzling picture of a legal resident of Cuba sleeping in a different bed each night. This practice must certainly reduce the possibility that the C-2 will pick him up for routine questioning. i Communications:
- The bulk of AMFAUNA-1's communications come via S/W. His méssages to JMWAVE are sent to accommodation addresses serviced by AMPAN-2 and AMCUTLER-1. JMWAVE's messages to him are addressed to AMFAUNA-14. AMFAUNA-1 can also(diplomatic couriers) for sending documents and other material unsuitable for S/W. He has a personal contact with two of the officers (of the Spanish Embassy who either 152 bring it to the JMWAVE area and mail it to AMCUTIER-1, or carry it (on Undmithའ A ! 43. !

- The courier system can also work in the other direction. AMFAUNA-1 has been supplied with S/W materials for his own use by way of the Spanish Embassy, and for the use of AMRIPE-1 and AMRAVEL-1 by way of the (Argentine Embassy) 24
- A third communications channel existe in the weekly telephone conversations (between) AMCUTLER-1) and his wife AMFAUNA-2.0/ It is useful for passing signals already prearranged by S/W, and for confirming that AMFAUNA-1 Is still at liberty. If he is ever arrested, the news will probably come firat by this meane.
Finances: : 14. Expenses of the operation are $500 per month. The money is given monthly to Identity-3 or Identity-4 in the JMWAVE area. Identity- 3, upon receipt of the dollars, notifies identity-l in Havana who in turn pays Cuban pesos to AMFAUNA-1. Identity-4 follows the same pro- cedure with Identity-2. AMFAUNA-1 confirms receipt of this money by S/W.
Sub-agents:
- Following is a description of the sub-agents in the AMFAUNA net, including AMCOG-2 and AMBOA-1 who, although they have their own independent connections to JMWAVE, have to some extent joined forces. with AMFAUNA-1. For the identities of AMFAUNAS 2 through 23, see Attachment E, forwarded, under separate cover 이 a. ALFAUNA-23 AMFAUNA-1's sister-in-law, she formerly served as his contact to members of his net(in asylum in the 08 various embassies, and now serves as his cutout to at least the following:
(1) AMCOG-2: She first appears in AMFAUNA-l's correspondence in his S/W message No. 14 dated 19 May 1961, where he mentions that she was his link to a radio station operated by the (Rescate) 29 organization. Nothing ever came of this proposed communications channel, but AMCOG-2 remained in contact with AMFAUNA-1, helping him arrange asylum for burned agents and passing some of his communica- tions to diplomatic couriers 4 AMFAUNA-1 reported on 9 July 1961, in his S/W message No. 21, that AMCOG-2 knew him only by his alias (Julio ROJO07In his message No. 118, dated June 1962, he reported that AMFAUNA-15 had accidentally blown his true name to AMCOG-2. For a further discussion of AMCOG-2, and her relation to the security of AMFAUNA-1 see paragraph 56 below. .ol 이 (2) AMFAUNA-14: She is the secretary of (AMCOG-2) with whom she has done clandestine work. She now serves AMFAUNA-1 as an accommodation address and as a source of information.

AMFAUNA-3: AMFAUNA-1's first mention of her is in his 57W message No. 127 dated 4 May 1962. She has provided information on military hospitals and has a trusted contact (Identity 7) (in the G-2)24She also was AMFAUNA-1's cutout to Identity-12, who was a(Havana 08 contact) of the (guerrilla leader Oswaldo RAMIREZ)24 In early June 1962 she was approached by Identity-8 who claimed to be the new contact to the (RAMIREZ) organization. (See also paragraph 58 below.) On 15% March 1962 AMFAUNA-3 was traced by ODIBEX who proposed to use her in their Operation CASINO. A negative trace reply was given at that time. Headquarters is requested to ascertain whether ODIBEX has a valid prior claim on this agent. 이 c. AMFAUNA-4 He is a high-ranking Cuban Army officer who has provided AMFAUNA-1 with documentary information which ought to be of some value, although JMWAVE has not yet seen it, it having gone to Headquarters via (Madrid) through the channel described in paragraph 1l above 15-2He also claims to be receiving information from Identity-9 and Identity-10. AMFAUNA-1 was introduced to AMFAUNA-4) by AMCOG-2 who in turn was introduced to him by Identity-13.01 For a further discussion of this matter, see paragraph 56 below.
d. AMBOA-1: The origin of AMFAUNA-1's contact with this agent, who has also been recruited independently by JMWAVE, is uncertain. He first mentioned her in October 08 who had formerly been a contact of AMCUSP-1 and who subsequent- ly defected. AMFAUNA-1's last mention of her was on 15 November when he reported that she had given him a map show- ing artillery installations on the south coast of Las Villas, It is possible that AMFAUNA-1 has broken contact with her, but since he has not reported having done so it is considered 1961 as his cutout to Identity-14, (a a Cubana Airlines Pilot) more likely that she remains his cutout to two Cubana Airlines 08 pilots) who are known to be still reporting:
(1) AMFAUNA-18: He was recruited in March 1962. and has provided AMFAUNA-1 with passenger lists) 24 and the location of artillery emplacements) which he has (spotted from his aircraft). It is not known how AMFAUNA-1 first met AMFAUNA-18, and it is possible that AMFAUNA-1 meets directly with him. It is only surmised that AMBOA-1, is his cutout to him. 2 (2) AMFAUNA-19: He was recruited at the same time as AMFAUNA-18. Although AMFAUNA-1 did not explicitly say so, it can be inferred that he and AMFAUNA-18 are witting of each other's recruitment.
e. AMFAUNA-5: AMFAUNA-1 first reported her as an agent in September 1961. To She is the sister-in-law of AMFAUNA-23) former (naval officer) who had been an agent of AMFAUNA-1 as early as July 1961 but had been caught and imprisoned for try- ing to leave Cuba illegally.24 She has been the source of information on Cuban (airfields, and is the cutout to a group of people employed at Rancho Boyeros Airport).24It is believed that the identities of all these people have not yet been reported, but they seem to be effective. On 29 May 1962 AMFAUNA-1 reported the arrival of an undocumented Soviet plane at Rancho Boyeros, and forwarded the passenger list which he said one of his agents had obtained clandestinely. Following are the persons with whom AMFAUNA-5 is known to be in contact. 이 (1) AMEAUNA-20) her husband. AMFAUNA-1 has written that he has broken personal contact with this man.

k. (the AMFAUNA-11: об 24 An employee of the (Ministry of Foreign Trade, and the wife of a Communist member of the Central 08 Planning Board (JUCEPLAN), she has reported political intelligence. In March 1962 AMFAUNA-1 reported that she was under surveillance and that he was therefore avoiding her.
l. AMFAUNA-12: He obtains information from contacts within the Cuban Petroleum Institute (ICP) 108
m. 08 AMFAUNA-13: An(insurance) company employee with contacts in the Cuban Government, he has reported information on G-2 activities in Cuba and the United States.
Background and Motivation: 08 116, AMFAUNA-1 is a (39-year-old) Cuban male, born in Cuba of Spanish parents. He has tried his hand at various kinds of work Including the import business, journalism (he was once editor of Diario de la Marina) and insurance) He has also ventured into politics, ving been a candidate (of the Autentico Party in 1958) During the Spanish Civil War he was a member of the (Falanje Espanola) and during World War II, until the entry of the United States, he was an agent24 of the German Intelligence Service. The JMWAVE case officer who trained AMFAUNA-1 in tradecraft in March 1961 (see UFGA-1247 of 10 April 1961) observed that he already had a grounding in clandestine techniques. pleasant, intelligent fellow" and "the most astute member of the team" comprising himself, ANCUS and AMCUTLER-1001 The case officer also characterized AMFAUNA-1 as اة 11 a ARENLUNE CARD REPRODUCTIONS せいぜ 14-00000 CONTINUATION OF DISPATCH CLASSIFICATION SECRET 09 DREPATON SOLIDOL AND NUMBER UFGA-4703 children, all still in Cuba(as of March 1961) However, it is noted that the two children have different matronymics, that neither of them is his wife's last name, and that all three dependents have different addresses. It is assumed that this is his third wife. Since AMFAUNA-1 has never mentioned her in any of his S/W correspondence, it is also assumed that she has gone the way of her two predecessors. 01. 18. AMCUTLER-1) who was questioned on this point, said that his Drother is living in (Guanabacoa) with his present wife, that he has been married only once before and has only one child from the first marriage This information is not considered definitive, because the last point directly contradicted by AMFAUNA-1's PRO Part I which he wrote him- solf, but it is included here for what it may be worth. AMCUTLER-1)0/ added that his brother has no sexual relations with his sub-agents except what is considered normal and acceptable by Cuban standards.
- The elements of AMFAUNA-1's motivation, then, include an adventurous spirit and a taste for clandestine work. Although "anti- Communism" may be an overworked expression, it would seem to apply in the case of AMFAUNA-1, gif his former membership in the Falange) and the (German Intelligence Service)can be taken as indicators. Also included should be the loss of a (freight forwarding business) which started out promisingly in 1959 but folded up after a year of CASTRO's revolution- ary government. Finally, although these factors did not yet exist in January 1961 when he was recruited, AMFAUNA-1 is certainly affected now by the death of AMCUSP-1 and the imprisonment of his father.) Control 이 08 20。 It is evident from his S/W messages that AMFAUNA-1 derives great personal satisfaction from his work against the CASTRO regime. His connection with KUBARK provides him with the means to do this work. This is believed to be a strong element of control. There have been many opportunities to test this control, by ordering AMFAUNA-1 to do something or to desist from doing something else, and the control is believed to be effective. Previous History of the Operation - January to May 1961:
-
AMFAUNA-1 was engaged in some form of clandestine work against the CASTRO regime as early as (December 196009 As with so much else in this operation, details are lacking, but it is known that he already had an understanding with Identity-29 whom he had known for twenty Vears.06 In December 1960, Identity-29 introduced AMFAUNA-1 to Identity- 27, Can MAR coordinator from Matanzas, who had been introduced to.. Identity-29 by one of the members of her group, Identity-28. Identity- 37.in in turn brought in Identity-26, (a fellow MAR Coordinator.

In January 1961, AMEAUNA-10 came legally to the United States together with AMCUSP-1) and AMCUTLER-1) and looked up their old friend AMJAG-4, who at that time was heavily engaged in work with the resistance groups. AMJAG-4 introduced them to a JMWAVE case officer who instructed them to return to Cuba, to form contacts with as many resistance groups as possible, and to report their progress through CAMRUNG-1) who was JMWAVE's principal agent in the paramilitary field. Also imlthe JMWAVE area at this time were Identity-19 and Identity-23 whom they met and with whom they were later to work. 이

- AMCUTLER-1) and AMFAUNA-1, working together, held meetings with Identity-33, a Cuban Army oficer stationed at the (San Antonio delo Los Banos base, e, and discussed plans for supporting the invasion. AMFAUNA-1 also contacted Identity-35, the (commanding officer of the 06 08 San Julian base and arranged for its surrender, using Identity-34," head of the (OA in Pinar del Rio as a cutout.

- On 18 March March 1961) AMCUSP-1) and AMRUNG-1) were arrested by the G-2 while holding a clandestine meeting. At first this was not regarded as too serious a matter. The G-2 had broken into the meeting only after having been alerted by the suspicious behavior of a woman ol lookout, and it was believed ieved that they had no real evidence. AMCUTLER-1) came to the JMWAVE area on (3 April 1961) and returned again to Cuba on 10 April still optimistic that AMCUSP-1) and AMRUNG-1) would either be released or could be helped to escape. However, However, one of the other 201 prisoners apparently confessed and implicated AMCUSP-1) and AMRUNG-1, who were executed on 20 April, with the wave of arrests accompanying the April 17 invasion, AMCUTLER-1 took asylum in the Venezuelan (Venezuelan) Embassy and AMFAUNA-1 went temporarily linto hiding. il
- On 27 April 1961 AMFAUNA-1 resumed operations by sending Identities 24, 25, 26 and 27 to collect order of battle information in Matanzas. Identities 26 and 27 returned to Havana to report. Identity-25 remained in Matanzas, and Identity-24 was caught by the G-2.
- In May 1961, Identity-30 informed AMFAUNA-1 that some kind of conspiratorial activity was going on in the home of AMCOG-2. He arranged to meet her through Identit: -30 whom he thereafter used as a cutout to her.

- At some time during the period June to November 1961, AMFAUNA -- began collaborating with AMBOA-1. The origin of this collaboration is not known, but it appears that the initiative was taken by AMBOA-1. AMFAUNA-1 reported that she had revealed to him the fact that she has a channel of S/W communication, to KUBARK, and that she had claimed to be a friend of the widow of AMCUSP-1) AMFAUNA-1 asked JMWAVE to confirm her bona fides, and this was done.
