Cryptonym: AMMOP-1
A dispatch on AMMOP-1 in December, 1967, cited 201-767219 to cross reference.
A CIA document in September, 1974, indicated that associates of Jose Ignacio Rasco Rodriguez (mentioned above and who was AMPALM-5) included Guido Ernesto Rodriguez Diaz and Jesus Angulo Clemente (AMCRIB-1).
There are several references to AMCRIB-1 and AMMOP-1 in the documents below. For instance, a dispatch in March, 1966, stated that the youth wing of the AMMOP group was headed by AMCRIB-1.

AMHINT-2 told us that the MDC had decided not to participate. AMMOP-1 said that this was not true and he would be happy to participate with AMHINT-2. This could possibly be the result of a misunderstanding, but on the basis of the facts known so far it appears that AMHINT-2 was deliberately lying to his case officer. It may also be a reaction to the Ref A incident..."
