Forwarded under separate cover as Attachment B is a photograph of an unidentified male (who was accompanied by an unidentified temale whose photograph the Station acset did not oblain) who visited the Soviet Erbassy a. 1400 hours on 12 November 1965. The Station believes this male is iden- tical with Subject since the male in the photograph is the only unidentified male who was alco accompanied by a won and, secondly, this male appears to be a nordic type. The Station recognizes, however, that Subject may have ody claimed to be a Swede for cover purposes. い。 The following is the comment made by Douglas J. PRINGLASS, the Station's LIEINOY translator, concerning Attachment A: He "The exact spelling; of this neme could not be determined. charted by naying that it is W AN.. and then stopped, emphasizing the two dots above A. It is very strange that he, beln, a vele did not seck the ald of his Swedish Consulate, but applied to the Covlet Na- bacsy and asked for a man, whom he met by chance (?) in a restaurant. Cut stronger still is the response of the Embassy officials, who went out of their way to find a chip for him. Usually requests of this nature are brushed aside and quite often in a very rude wanner. Judging from his non-British accent ani almost flawless English, he rust have lived in the United States or Cennda for quite some time." (The Station PEDWOOD officer agrees with FEIGLASS comment regarding the usual re- luctance of Soviet Fabassy officials to help in a matter of this type.) 4.

Two of the lines which were disconnected were Cuban Embassy lines, both were not in use by the Cubans. One was in the apartment which had been vacated by Ramon Sinobas and not occupied by other Cubans. The other was a telephone in the Cuban Embassy which was never answered. The Cubans are trying to get Sinobas' line moved to the Embassy. They have also asked for the telephone company to repair 14-92-14. As soon as these lines are working again, coverage of two of the Yugoslav Embassy lines will be dropped in order to pick up all the Cuban lines which are presumed to have a much higher priority. 3. Processing of LIENVOY Information 1 The Station continues to receive full transcripts in Spanish on the Cuban lines (three), the Soviet Embassy lines (five), and as of 18 and 23 September the Yugoslav lines (three). These transcripts are received each morning for the day before. During September, the LIENVOY monitors transcribed 1396 pages in addition to the daily resumen. The outside translators now working on LIENVOY transcripts are Orville HORSFALL, staff agent, who is used for almost any backlog which begins to occur. : David B. SCHLAGETER, field contract agent, who transcribes the Czech take. Victor W. OBOLD, career agent, who transcribes the Yugoslav portion of the Yugoslav take. 1 Douglas J. FEINGLASS, staff agent, who continues to transcribe the Russian language portion of the Soviet take. 4. Exploitation of LIENVOY Information Two leads from LIENVOY of operational interest in September 1963 were: M 530 14..

CONTINUATION OF DISPATCH T SEGRETT ۵۰ روز ΗΜΜΑ-22267 a. On 2 September 1963 a Russian speaking female contacted the Soviet Embassy and asked for Svyatoslav Fedorovich KUZNETSOV, KGB. She identified herself by name and as a professor from New Orleans. She gave the address of her apartment and asked for a meeting. This lead was promptly followed up by station investigative assets who identified the woman and learned that she was attending a philosophers' conference at the University of Mexico. She returned to the United States on 17 September. All available information was forwarded to Headquarters for passing to ODENVY. b. MEXI-6135 reported the contact between an unidentified Czech woman and the Czech Embassy. 5. Liaison On 18 September 1963 Oliver G. GALBOND and Willard C. CURTIS met with LIELEGANT and LIERGO. They also saw LIELEGANT on 20 September. 6. Security There were no security problems during this month. 7. Technical There were no technical problems which AREHART could not handle. 8. Personnel Robert B. RIGGS continues to meet Arnold AREHART each morning before 0800 hours to receive all LIENVOY tapes and trascripta from the previous day. The daily meetings with Victor W. OBOLD and David B. SCHLAGETER, the two EE translators, Wertransferred on 18 September 1963 from the Station EE case officer to the KURIOT technician, Gregory D. PARMUTH who delivers and receives reels and transcripts from them each day. PARMUTH also acts as a cutout for Douglas J. FEINGLASS. Paul V. LEVISTER, Headquarters KUTUBE officer, visited the Station from 22 September to 1 October to consult with LIENVOY and LIFEAT case officers in preparation for a report to be written on the two projects as examples of tap operations which produce both positive intelligence and operational leads. 9. Production There is attached a list of reports, cables and dispatches forwarded to Headquarters during this month. (Curtis Winard C.

- PERSONALITY BRIEF 1. General Lazaro CARDENAS del Rio As a pro-Communist, anti-United States former (1934-1940) President of Mexico, CARDENAS plays an important role in the political activities of Mexico by virtue of his being the spirtual leader of a great part of the Mexican left. His leftist sympathies appear to fall primarily with the current regime in Cuba (He alledgedly is a close personal friend of Fidel CASTRO), secondarily with Communist China, and lastly with the USSR. 2. Braulio MALDONADO Sandez MALDONADO is a politically unscrupulous pro-Communist former Governor of Baja California. He is a national leader of at least three Mexican leftist organizations: (1) FEP (People's Electoral Front), united single front of Mexican Communists and Leftists; (2) MLN (National Liberation Movement), rabidly anti-U.S., pro-Cuba Communist Front; and (3) CCI (Independent Peasants' Center), radical, anti-Mexican Government organization. Having been banished from Mexico until after the 1964 elections for anti-government activities, MALDONADO is currently in Europe and seeking admittance to the USSR, obstensibly to visit his daughter who is a student at the Friendship University in Moscow. 3. Alonso AGUILAR Monteverde AGUILAR is a prominent pro-Communist Mexican intellectual who is the titular head of the MLN (National Liberation Movement), rabidly anti-U.S., pro-Communist front. He is a full-time professor at the National Autonomous University of Mexico and maintains active contact with several international leftist and Communist figures. He has recently travelled to Cuba and Warsaw. 4. Jorge Leonidas TAMAYO Castillejos TAMAYO is a Communist professor at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. He is a leading member of many Communist front activities in Mexico including the CMP (Mexican Peace : 1 50-166-55/3

-2- قتم Committee), the MLN (National Liberation Movement), and the CEM (Circle of Mexican Studies). He has been in contact with several leftist figures of various echelon, including Gen. Lazaro CARDENAS, the Cuban Ambassador to Mexico, and Polish, Soviet, and Chinese Communist officials. TAMAYO's son has studied in Warsaw and travelled to the USSR and Communist China. 5. Jose David ALFARO Siqueiros ALFARO, one of Mexico's most prominent artists, has been imprisoned for eight (S) years as a consequence of the role he played in the Communist-inspired railroad stike of 1959, He is a leader of the PCM (Mexican Communist Party) and has visited the Soviet Union. He fought for the Loyalist Army in the Spanish Civil War and was later arrested in Mexico for complicity in the murder of Leon TROTSKY's secretary. ALFARO has a long history of pro-Communist, anti-U.S. leanings. 6. Roberto ROMERO Adams ROMERO is an informant for the Cuban Intelligence Service in Mexico. 7. Enrique GONZALEZ Pedrero Pro-Communist professor at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, GONZALEZ Pedrero has contributed to the writing or editing of at least five (5) leftist publications in Mexico. He is a member of the National Committee of the MLN, has alledgedly received training in the Soviet Union, and has travelled to Cuba twice in recent times. 8. Ignacio ACOSTA Lagunes Pro-Communist ACOSTA, a lawyer, is an aide of General CARDENAS and a leading member of the MLN. He frequently has contact with high-level personnel of both the Cuban and Soviet Embassies in Mexico City. His political activities include travel to Cuba and the Soviet Union, aid in the management of the Communist Trade Fair in Mexico, and a great deal of participation in promoting sympathy for the Cuban Revolution in Mexico.

-3- 9. Direccion Federal de Seguridad - Federal Security Police The principal functions of this security unit are to: (1) Provide a plain-clothed security detail for the President, (2) maintain an extensive telephone tap activity on both the Rightist and Leftist political opposition forces, and (3)perform investigations and arrests of primarily political offenses. The unit's agents are largely poorly trained, insecure, and unreliable. Their professional characteristics are best described as being dishonest, cruel, and abusive. The position, at this moment, of Manuel RANGEL Escamilla as Director General of DFS is precarious. 10. Politica A Marxist anti-U.S. semi-monthly magazine published in Mexico, Politica is printed by Talleres Graficos de Mexico, the same shop which prints La Voz de Mexico. In addition to the modest revenues derived from a circulation of 15,000 to 25,000, Politica is financed by the Soviet Embassy, the MLN, the PPS, and possibly, the Cuban Embassy. As an indication of the Mexican government's assessment of the capability of this magazine to influence public opinion, it 15 worthwhile noting that Politica frequently experiences a great degree of difficulty in printing and circulating itself due to the government's repressive efforts. 11. Movimiento de Liberacion Nacional (MLN) Organized under the influence of the PCM in August 1961, the MLN today is dedicated to the furtherance of the mutual interests of its adherents who are found primarily in the ranks of the PRI, the PPS, the PCM, the CNC and the UGOCM. The MLN's objective is to gain leftist political represen- tation in the government by inciting PRI to accept leftists into its camp. As a consequence of this objective, the mission of MLN is to generate evidence of popular leftist sympathy by means of fomenting agitation among the popular, labor, and peasant masses. 12. Confederacion de Trabajadores de la America Latina (CTAL) The CTAL has recently been replaced by the CUTAL (Single Confederation of Latin American Workers). Until recently, the

-4- pro-Communist, CTAL, which is described as being the liaison bureau of the WFTU (World Federation of Trade Unions) whose headquarters are in Prague, was headed by Vicente LOMBARDO Toledano. 13. Prensa Latina Operationg directly under the Cuban Communist regime, Prensa Latina is obstensibly a press service. In reality, however, it is the official propaganda organ of the Cuban Government. Prensa Latina works closely with Tass, the Soviet Agency; with Hsinhua, the Chinese Agency;and with Cetepka, the Czechoslovakian Agency. 50-6-75/3

HA-22262, 3 October 1963 1. Reference is made to your question about the type informa- tion boeded on GUTIERREZ. Headquarters is interested in "current" information on his activities, and especially on his travels and his contact with Kanuel VEGA Perez, Chief of G-2 at the Cuban Embassy in Mexico City. The comment on fi-7289 regarded only the non- dissemination of the report, and was not intended to discourage the Station from reporting information on meetings between GOTIERREZ and VEGA. 2. Headquarters would appreciate receiving, on a continuing basis, pertinent information on GUTIERREZ extracted from the LIENVOT take.

2 October 1963 MENORANDUM FOR: Chief, Foreign Intelligence SUBJECT: TDY to Mexico City 1. After taking a good look at LIENVOY and LIFEAT, I would agree with the persons I talked with in Mexico; they maintain that any well- run tap operation should produce substantial intelligence information, provided the targets are of intelligence interest, and provided also there are people at the station who look for it and are able to recog- nize it. The case of LIFEAT is interesting in this respects It has been deprived of its most productive lines in favor of LIENVOY, and yet its intelligence production compares favorably, with that of the other productive taps, except LIENVOY. 2. Mexico has people who can detect any little item of intelli- gence significance. This includes the Chief of Station, who goes over the highlights of the previous day's take every morning and marks certain items for action by station case officers or reports officers. The reports officers work on copies of the take at the same time. 3. There are several aspects of LIENVOY that make it an excellent operation and an outstanding producer of intelligence. I will describa thes in detail when my notes get here from the station. The principal factors in the success of LIRNVOY seem to be the following. a. The agreement made with top Maxican officials, unlike many such agreements elsewhere, is as much in effect today as it was at the start: the targeting is not based on personal politics; the intercept staff has stayed on the job; the equipment is con- sidered to be on loan from CIA. b. The native monitoring staff has reached a peak of effec- tiveness that everyone at the station praises very highly. c. The station is organized to handle the take speedily as soon as it comes in. The Chief of Station, the case officers, the reports officers, all work on it at the same time and exchange views on hot items. They do not let reports backlogs accumulate.

: d. Bach new item on a target person is linked to a past history; what appears as a fragmentary bit in a conversation becomes a meaningful development in a continuous story. Conti- muity on the job makes this possible. e. The equipsant is kept in good working order by complete cleaning and checking of each unit once a month. The 32 units in use today are those installed in 1959. 4. A detailed description of LIENVOY and its counterpart LIFEAT should provide good models with which to compare other tap operations. It should give criteria for good procedures. It should give some idea of the desirable size of such operations, considering the available targets, the size of the station, and the other tasks and operations of the station. It should show what the station puts into ita tap opera- tions and what it gets out of then. LIENVOY and LIFEAT are an interesting example of two interacting operations, one Joint and the other independ- ent. 5. My stay in Nexico was as interesting and fruitful as it was enjoyable. And I hope it was not too great a burdan on the station. ye CC: C/WH/3

The Yugoslav lines have not yet been connected but one of them should be operating by the und of September. 3. Frocessing of LIENVOY Information. HMMA-22000 dated 21 August 1963 transmitted the first group of copies of transcripts against the Cuban lines. Since that time, carbon copies have been forwarded to Headquarters on a weekly basis. Orville HORSFALL, staff agent, has eliminated the backlog of some fifty reels from the Russian lines and at the present time is working on the Polish LIFEAT coverage which Woodrow GABFOTT (ps) has not been able to handle. HORSFALL will be used in this capacity only until the Station has a higher priority job for him or until his permanent assignment is determined. There has been no change in Douglas J.

CONTINUATION OF DISPATCH IMMA-22135 to travel alone by plane to DIZTAG diplomat stationed in Caracas planned Mexico City via Panama carrying a diplomatie pouch for turnover in Mexico and return to Caracas with diplomatic mail received from DIZTAG couriers in Mexico. This was reported to Headquarters, Carmens, and Panama as a possible opportunity to obtain or copy these pouches. (MF-XI-5681) c. On 7 August this project revealed contact between the Partido Popular Socialista and the Soviet Ambassy. Roberto JARAMILLO Flores, national leader of the Juventud Popular Socialista, the youth organization of the Marxist Partido Popular Socialista, arranged for an urgent meeting with Nikolaly Sergeyevich LEONCV, Third Secretary and Cultural Officer of the Soviet Embassy. It will be recalled that LEONOV went to the Soviet Union and acted as interpreter for Mdel CASTRO on his visit there earlier this year. MEXI-5705 transmitted a report on JARAMILLO's contact with LEONOV. d. On 5 August LIENVOY reported the presence in Mexico of one Doctor Paul BARAN who was in contact with Cuban Embassy officials and prom- inent Mexican Marxist intellectuals. BARAN appeared to be on a trip throughout South America. A check of Station files revealed that this was probably identical with Paul Alexander BARAN, Russian born naturalized U. S. citizen and professor of economics at Stanford University, Palo Alto, California. BARAN has visited Mexico in the past and made contact with American Communists and Mexican leftists. This information was sent to Headquarters in MEXI-5735 for dissemination to ODENVY. e. On 12 August William ROSE, who identified himself as a student from the United States studying at the University of Mexico (UNAM) asked for an interview with Vicente LOMBARDO Toledano, Secretary General of the Popular Socialist Party (PPS). ROSE claimed to have letters of Introduction to LOMBARDO from laborr leaders in the United States. A check of Station files revealed William Maurice ROSE, 1474 Federal Way, Salt Lake City, Utah, as a student at the UNAM. This report was sent to Headquarters in MEXI-5752 for dissemination
