Request permission to show AMCARD-1 and AMMUG-1 (Vladimir Lahera Rodriguez) Cuban Mugbooks, Volume I and II. 2. We have noted that on a number of occasions in the past, photographs of Cuban officials which have been obtained by our various Stations abroad, are generally sent only to Headquarters. We request that when Headquarters does receive such photographs that WH/Miami be provided with a copy. It should be borne in mind that barring over-riding security considerations, it is our intention to show such photographs to AMCARD-1 and AMMUG-1 for possible identification. (Signed) Eustace D.

03/19/71: Dispatch from Chief, Western Hemisphere Division to COS, WH/Miami: Subject: TYPIC/Cuban Mugbook: "1. Your request to show the Cuban Mugbooks, Volumes I and II, to AMCARD-1 and AMMUG-1 (Vladimir Lahera Rodriguez) is approved. 2. Per Reference, paragraph 2, Headquarters will forward such photographs of Cuban officials to WH/Miami. 3. We are planning a slight change in the new Cuban Mugbook (Volume III). This Mugbook will be distributed earlier (i.e., after 100 photos have been collected rather than after 500 as was the case with Volume II) and in looseleaf binders. As new sections of the Volume III are compiled, probably in groups of 100 photos, they will be sent to the Stations concerned to be added to Volume III. Incidentally, as a result of your comment on the most recent Mugbook, we are sending an alphabetical listing for Volume II to the Stations which received this Mugbook. Thornton V. Caruana."

104-10063-10334: SUSPECTED CUBAN AGENTS IN US
10/04/71: Cable from WH/Miami to Headquarters: Slugline RYBAT MHCURB MHCHAOS: REF: HEADQUARTERS 5365: "1. Re para 4 ref, Station has no objections to querying AMBEDEW-1 (probably Orlando Castro Hidalgo). We plan forward photos of eight suspect DSE agents in Miami area for review by AMBEDEW-1. We are showing these to AMMUG-1 (Vladimir Lahera Rodriguez) and AMCARD-1. These were shown to AMGAME-1, who could not identify. 2. Two points in ref are worthy of comment in that we are taking word of person like HYSAGE-1 (Thelma King) in this matter. First, just because she called Cuban an 'illegal' does not necessarily mean that such is case. She might be saying this to throw us off or on other hand she might have been told this by Cubans. Thus, do not believe we can dismiss completely possibility that Cuban in question is diplomat. Secondly, question of scar should not be accepted as gospel, since it could be contrived mark or even subterfuge on part of HYSAGE-1. 3. Since traffic this matter now MHCHAOS (program from 1966-74 to gather intelligence on possible foreign connections of US protest organizations), please advise if we can communicate laterally with Mexico City and Caracas through this channel." - - - 2022 release: https://www.archives.gov/files/research/jfk/releases/2022/104-10063-10334.pdf
