Cryptonym: AMCLEMENT-1

Definition:

Unknown

Discussion:

AMCLEMENT-1 reported the above developments to JMWAVE CI in early January, 1963. In addition, a cable in November of 1963 stated that Andrew F. Merton (probably CIA officer Jack Stewart) doubted whether AMCLEMENT-1 could handle an approach to Chavez.
