Cryptonym: AMCLAY-1

Documented

Discussion:

Therefore, Emilio Adolfo Diaz Cobo was AMCLAY-1.

A Field Information Report from Antonio Gonzalez Arango stated that in 1961 he "organized and subsequently directed an informal counterrevolutionary group in Havana that consisted of ten men." Gonzalez Arango also noted that he "personally sent information of the type that could be used as anti-Castro propaganda to Luis Conte Aguero (AMCORE-2), using the pen name Antonio de Loyola. I also transmitted information to an anti-Castro Cuban group in Miami headed by Emilio Diaz, using the pen name 'Marina.'" It is possible that the Emilio Diaz referred to here was Emilio Adolfo Diaz Cobo, who was AMCLAY-1.

The mission of our group was to obtain information detrimental to the Castro regime and then to pass that information to anti-Castro radio broadcasters and resistance groups outside Cuba. I personally sent information of the type that could be used as anti-Castro propaganda to Luis Conte Aguero (AMCORE-2), using the pen name Antonio de Loyola. I also transmitted information to an anti-Castro Cuban group in Miami headed by Emilio Diaz, using the pen name 'Marina'."
