A dispatch in July of 1962 stated that "AMHINT activities during June were concentrated on the processing of CEDAR members for their original commitment to ISOLATION (CIA's Camp Peary, aka "The Farm") on 6 July 1962. AMHINT-36, 38, 47 and 48 were assessed in LCFLUTTER (polygraph - "lie detector" - testing, sometimes referred to simply as "FLUTTER") and psychological, measured for clothing and equipment, examined physically and scheduled for SW. Their radio operator, AMHINT-49, was attending communications school to complete his training in time for infiltration with the team."

Their radio operator, AMHINT-49, was attending communications school to complete his training in time for infiltration with the team. Concurrent to this processing, AMHINT-53 (Luis Fernandez-Rocha) who had infiltrated PBRUMEN (Cuba) on 20 May began requesting his exfiltration operation..."
