According to a document, AMCOVE-1 (Alejandra Sanchez) SW Message #66 on December 5, 1963, consisted of reports by AMCOVE-11. AMCOVE-11's report included an assessment that high-level figures of Fidel Castro's regime were very apprehensive on the day of President Kennedy's assassination on November 22, 1963. A-11 apparently obtained the information from a doctor friend, who in turn, obtained it from a Navy Comandante, who was not a sympathizer of the regime.

Moreover, AMCOVE-1's SW Message #68 on December 6, 1963, contained a report from AMCOVE-11 that there were rumors in Cuba that "Lee Oswald, assassin of Kennedy, was photographed in Varadero and Pinar del Rio, and that his (sic) sister, employed at Cuban Embassy Mexico, was a prisoner in Dallas, Texas, with personal documentation of Oswald and $65,000 dollars. Swiss Ambassador Havana told employees that Lee Oswald was an associate of Fidel Castro." This report was completely at odds with the historical record, in terms of Lee Harvey Oswald visiting Cuba, having a sister, and being an associate of Fidel Castro. AMCOVE-11's name was Dr. Pedro Antonio Rodriguez Inigo.

A cable on December 11, 1963, described AMCOVE-11 as "a Cuban professional with a medical background who by virtue of his practise has many contacts in government circles, from various doctor friends."
