Cryptonym: AMEREBUS

Definition:

Unknown identity. A cable from JMWAVE on December 6, 1963, stated that the entire AMEREBUS team had been terminated on November 30th for apparent repeated minor security offenses.

Status:

Unknown

Discussion:

The cable also mentioned that a final progress report on AMEREBUS would follow by dispatch. This possibly did not happen. A cable on December 4, 1963, with the slugs EREBUS and JEANINE (a JMWAVE maritime caching operation), stated that "materials ordered refs not received 4 Dec as requested. 2. Please send no later than 11 Dec."
