12/7/60 memo: "Station anxious assist AMING group but reluctant initiate separate support op." AMHINT-2 is referred to throughout the document. Marginalia in top corner states "Salvat Roque" - also known as AMING-4, later AMHINT-2. This document also refers to AMHINT-1 - Alberto Muller, the DRE leader who was captured and held in prison for a number of years. Also refers to AMHINT-3/Miguel Garcia - the head of DRE's infiltration and sabotage wing in Cuba until his arrest after the Bay of Pigs.
