Discussion:
AMELU-3 said that on the anniversary of amputee's death (7 March), a pamphlet was published by a group of Cuban exiles in Miami, which outlined amputee's background. It also apparently named Communists who falsely accused A-3, and the "true" manner in which he was assassinated. AMELU-3 told Morales he could obtain extra copies of this pamphlet. The cable requested that headquarters check with Karnley (probably Ken M. Crosby) regarding the possibility of obtaining copies from AMELU-3 for Havana station use.
