1. The September Progress Report for AMSPELL, including AMHINT and AMDARB activities, is transmitted herewith:

A. ANSPELL 1) General:

a. On 21 September 1962, AMHINT-53 exfiltrated PBRUMEN in a refugee vessel and made his preliminary operational report on release from CAC on 22 September (Reference B). Subject was accompanied by the National Coordinator for Agricultural Affairs (actually an organizer for guerrilla warfare and resistance groups throughout the Island) Jose Angel LOZANO y Lozano. Briefly, AMHINT (53) and LOZANO rendered an optimistic operational report on

AMSPELL organization in PBRUMEN, including the situation in the underground, compartmentation, organization, communications con- trol and intelligence structure. Subjects are undergoing intell- igence debriefing on a continuing basis.

b. While AMHINT 53 was arranging his exfiltration and ANSPELL Psywar operations in PBRUMEN and the hemisphere were continued on their normal course, the AMHINTS were still smarting from the ODYOKE confiscation of their vessel, the JUANIN I, as a consequence of the 24 August attack on Havana. AMHINT[2] went to Caracas on 7 September for a meeting with President BETANCOURT (or his official representative) and a press conference where he released an ANSPELL statement, which in effect, served a notice on PBRUMEN and the USSR that any Communist shipping encountered in PBRUMEN territorial waters will be attacked on sight. (Reference F and G)

c. Behind the scenes, however, AMHINTF2 was report- edly (Reference D and E) negotiating with Venezuelan Naval Officials for surfacecraft and possibly a base from which to operate. success he achieved in this quest, or to what extent President BETANCOURT is prepared to help AMSPELL, is still an unknown quantity. Judging from their attempts to raise funds in other spheres, allegedly for the purchase of a replacement vessel, they were not very successful in Caracas. (A PU Case Officer handling the CEDAR team has reported that one of the members complained of forfeiting a 20-percent "kick-back" in his AMSPELL salary. (For a breakdown of AMSPELL salary see Attachment B.)

d. AMHINT-2 returned from Caracas and as to be expected, gave no indication of the "secret negotiations" or their outcome. On 27 September, along with AMHINT-5, he requested a meeting with the JMWAVE officer för discussion of the AMBARB funding disagreement and the general ANSPELL situation (See Attachment C). Perhaps this session gave JHWAVE a bit more insight as to AMSPELL plans and intentions, but no real solution for the AMBARBS resulted. In short, AMSPELL policy is to mold PBPRIME, public opinion and bring pressure to bear on ODYOKE and GPIDEAL for action in the PBRUMEN situation within the next four months.

e. To implement such a policy, AMSPELL has exploited the impact of their 24 August attack on PBPRIME news media, as well as their Caracas Declaration. Also, they have published a weekly news letter in English entitled "The Cuban Report" (Refer- ence C) and about 1,000 copies are mailed out to ODYOKE officials and congressmen. Initiated in late August, the main theme of this publication has been the Soviet/Bloc materiel buildup in PBRUMEN. (See Attachment A) 2) Total AMSPELL Support for September 1962: $50,960.40

a. AMBARB Section: Salaries $12,240.00 Operations 7,700.00 Processing 1,020.40 $20,960.40 b. AMHINT Section: Support $ 5,000,00 c. AMSPELL General: Salaries 9,000.00 USE PREVIOUS EDITION Overhead 2,100.00 Operations 13,900.00 $25,000.00

4) Development and Plans:

All planning phases of AMSPELL activities supported by JMWAVE at the present time are subject to the results of meetings with AMSPELL concerning increased control, and, the decisions of JMWAVE to continue a support relationship if an acceptable degree of KUBARK control can be established.

B. AMHINTS: 1) General:

a. As reported in Reference B, the most important AMHINT development during September was the exfiltration of AMHINT 53:01 This was also significant for JMWAVE, since all nego- tiations with AMSPELL would be transferred from AMHINT 2 to 01 AMHINT-5301 Although AMHINT-53 Will undoubtedly be fully briefed and re-Indoctrinated by AMHINT leaders concerning AMSPELL present status and operational relationship with JMWAVE, AMHINT-53 is a mature and astute leader and can be expected to appreciate the broad scope of JMWAVE-AMSPELL operations.

b. In the Psywar field, the AMHINTS in PBRUMEN continue to produce. "Trinchera" on a hand-operated mimeograph machine in Havana and distribute about 10,000 copies monthly. They are also committed to the collection and transmission of reports and photographs on the Soviet buildup, at least until the DAMSON intelligence operations are begun. This activity is in direct support of the AMSPELL policy cited in Paragraph A.1)e above. The AMSPELL propaganda section is divided into four departments to carry out this program: PBRUNEN, Latin American, PBRUMEN Exile Community and PBPRIME. 24

c. Diplomatic pouches intercepted for JMWAVE by AMBLEAK-1 have revealed much of AMSPELL operational planning not heretofore reported. In a series of letters written by the AMSPELL national coordinators in exile to their opposite numbers in PBRUMEN on 20 September, it was indicated that:

:

i. Negotiations by AMHINT 2 in Caracas, Costa Rica and Panama are practically completed for an AMSPELL operations base. (Letter from Bernabe PENE to AMHINT-40)

ii. AMSPELL has levied intelligence requirements on AMHINTS in PBRUMEN for sending out information on PBRUMEN ports that can be attacked from the sea. (Intelligence Plans Numbers 5, 6 and 7, in a letter from AMHINT-39 to "Jesus", National Coordinator for Intelligence.)

iii. In the interim, reports on Mariel, Cabanas, Bahia Honda, La Habana, Matanzas and Cardenas are re- quested on a continuing basis.

d. Subsequently, in an incoming pouch and probably crossing with the foregoing communications, a series of letters from the National Coordinators in PBRUNEN reported a severe blow to AMSPELL clandestine organization. Jore MEDINA Bringier ("Mongo"), National Coordinator for Military Reception and Supply, reported that AMHINT 100 (PBRUMEN National Coordinator) had been missing. (Later reported as arrested and being held at G-2 Headquarters on Ave 5 in Miramar.) Also, "Juan" and "Miguel" were arrested in Havana. Several others were missing. MEDINA went on to describe security measures implemented and report on a re-organization of the National Coordinator Committee. He closed with a plea for a small shipment of small arms for defensive use, clothing and medicine, and a full-scale propaganda effort if AMHINT-40 should be sentenced to summary execution.

e. In this same pouch, the National Coordinator for Propaganda, Nicolas PEREZ Diez-Arguelles ("Jose Alfredo") rendered a detailed report on Agit/Prop assets in PBRUMEN. The printing and distribution of "Trinchera" has been moved up to every fortnight, and efforts to get It printed on a commercial printing press in Havana appear to be successful. Regular couriers are being trained for delivery of the newspaper to the provinces. PEREZ alão reported their progress in mounting two clandestine radio trans- mitters for Agit/Prop purposes, one in Las Villas and one in Havana. These are powered by 110 volt generators usually found on a small farm. It is projected to transmit a regular propram, probably entitled "Tele-periodico Trinchera". The report does not explain what counter measures will be taken to prevent GOC detection. Finally, PEREZ describes an Agit/Prop program already in progress: Firss a plan for printing and marking walls with their organization abbreviation, carried out in one operation, synchronizing municipal and borough teams for the job. As a follow-up phase, large cloth banners bearing the same letters will be raised or tended in congested areas and photographs taken for publication in "Trinchera". Also, with the aid of their Intelli- gence Section, AMIHINTs have penetrated two radio stations in Havana and are identifying all Sov/Bloc personnel employed there, their security practices, addresses and routes for commuting. 2) Total AMHINT Support for September 1962: $5,000.00

C. AMBARB

During the reporting period no changes occurred in AMBARB personnel assignments. With the exfiltration of AMHINT-53) from PBRUMEN it is hoped that it will be possible to negotiate with AMBARB the still unsettled question of AMBARB funding. We will report further to Headquarters as soon as an agreement is reached with AMBARB on funding of AMBARB representatives in the field by local KUBARK Stations. For the present it can only be said that the AMBARB leaders are strenuously resisting any effort by JMWAVE to increase to more than eight the number of their people whom they will permit KUBARK to furd.directly rather than through AMBARB Headquarters in Miami.

1. Watle AHINT AiNta now POPRIME, he will detersine ASIELL policy 8 approved by the AMPLI Futive Committee. However, the activities of the last four months wereplanned and controlled by 4.20 and Assisting him were AMINT-SA Bernabe PENA, who were present at tale meeting. After the ARARS discussion, the meeting turned into a long discussion of the International Communiet situation, ODYOKE, AIDARK and AMSTELL policies as related to this situation. Some of the noteworthy iteas revealedt

a. ANSPELL had the 24 August Havana attack plan for six monthe, but had sholved it for the "right tims" and a considered decision not to embark upon a course independent of KURARK approval. The Sov/blea buildup changed that decision.

b. AMSPELL analyzes the situation as hopeless for the PBRUMEN revelutionary movements after four months becauses

1- The Soviets will be firmly established and ODYOKR policy as defined by GPIPEFAL tends toward and will probably result in a hemisphere no eptance of PRIMEN AS A satellite.

3- After four months, the degree of police controls, repression and persecution will make any internal action in civie resistance and guerrilla warfare virt ally impossible.

1. AMSPELL feels that ODYOKE policy on PBI: MEN cannot be influenced by the rising tide of public opinion and congressional action, partly because UPINFAL is surrounded by a group of advisors who are "one step from being parlor pinks or wores". The list began with Chester BOWLES. ان

d. This situation is not an originst AMSPELL ๑๖orvation. During his European travel in August, AilNT-2 went to the Vatican for a meeting (claimed to be high level) which had been arranged some time ago, its impression of thinking in the Vatican re World Communist advance, was that ODYOKE or FOPRIME was no longer calculated as an effective power for defending the world against total takoover. That the Catholic Church was beginning the long process of preparing their forces for a war 14 dominated ty Cosamunian.

1. As a result of their observations and analysis, AMSPELL haa assumed A "uow or never" attitude and policy. They feel they must resort to tactics that mold PURRIME public opinion and bring pressure to bear on OLYOKE and OPIDEAL for action in the PORUMIN situation, Latin America must also be kept aware and urged to support an action. They would hope that such an AMSPELL policy and resultant activity would not be interpreted as opposition or hostility to KULARY or ODYOKE, and that their KBARK relationship would Ruvive the critical months before then. They recognize that KURARK is bound by policy and burdened by a bureaucracy, and feel that the actions although independent and uncontrolled - of AMSPELL Eight contribute to the formation of action policy in PDRUMEN, despite consternation in.
