Discussion:

The dispatch also stated that AMRAIL-1 was suggested as a contact by the Chief, KUDOVE (Clandestine Services of CIA), who was a college classmate of his. Moreover, AMRAIL-1 apparently had done a translation into Spanish of Rostow's book, The Stages of Economic Growth. In addition, the dispatch noted that payment to AMRAIL-1 was made indirectly by means of a monthly cheque sent through Identity C (Hector Febles). The payment was made by KUJUMP (Office of Operations (OO). Furthermore, the dispatch stated that AMRAIL-1 had known Robert Hubbell by his true name.

A memo in February, 1961, by Jake Esterline, Chief of JMATE (the Bay of Pigs project, as well as Cuban operations overall), noted that among the material which had been received by QDDALE (William Pawley), was a memo submitted by Antonio Mendoza and Enrique Carrillo, to persons in Washington when they attended the inauguration of President John F. Kennedy. The Enrique Carrillo mentioned in this memo was probably AMRAIL-1.
