104-10308-10017: MEMO FOR: AMCOVE OPERATION
This memo for the record on operation AMCOVE names the operation's "principal", AMCOVE-1, as "Alejandra Sanchez." The second page of this document reveals that AMCOVE-1 was reporting rumors of Cuban involvement in the Kennedy assassination in early December of 1963. Interestingly, and perhaps not unrelated to these reports, is the following: "The [AMCOVE] net was rolled up in December 1963."
