12/01/66: Cable from Mexico City to Director (Info: JMWAVE, Withheld): (Action: C/WH/COG 5): Slugline RYBAT TYPIC AMADAGE: "1. With his usual intuitiveness LITAMIL-9 (Luis Alberu Souto, Cuban Cultural Attaché in Mexico City) convinced AMADAGE-1 not pro-Castro but can only provide following to back up his conviction: A. A-1 is well educated intellectual (he attended the Sorbonne) of bourgeois origin who lost property after Castro take over and definitely not revolutionary type. B. A-1 and wife appeared very anxious leave Cuba and go Norway. 2. L-9 states A-1 far too intelligent and discreet to make anti regime statements even to close friends. L-9 heard from his sister in law who usually well informed that A-1 going back to Cuba in Dec 66 to stay. L-9 does not know whether A-1 asked to return or is being recalled. Has no idea whether A-1, if recalled, would defect rather than go back. 3. L-9 could not provide names of A-1 relatives or friends in West who could be used for recruitment approach. L-9 felt that in A-1's case recruitment attempt using WOFACT (CIA) staffer would probably provide best results."
