No objection AMWAX-1 travel Dominican Republic to monitor AMWORM-1 (Miguel Angel Leon) activities. Please keep HQs advised any further reports this source. 2. AMBIDDY-1 (Manuel Artime Buesa) has reported he told by AMLASH-1 (Rolando Cubela Secades) that AMLASH-3 (IDEN) to be sent DOMREP by CIS to penetrate exile groups and monitor their activities. This tends confirm ref para 2 analysis. AMBIDDY-1 intended work op out with EMOTH-12 to allow AMLASH-3 (Alberto Blanco Ramirez) monitor and report to CIS on exile activities in return for his reporting on CIS assets and ops in DOMREP." After departure AMLASH-3 for Nicaragua (his next CIS target), DOMREP would roll up CIS nets. 3. Re para 3. AMWORLD has not revealed such a penetration. 4. AMBIDDY-1 and AMJAVA-4 (Rafael Quintero) describe AMWORM-1 as garrulous individual who everybody's friend but prone act on basis wishing will make it so. They have tried for past year dissociate him from AMWORLD but he always bobs up again with something useful to offer, such as initial contacts AMWORLD AMLASH groups.

Johnson) personal rep and plans', probably wishful thinking and imagination. 5. Addee comments and further reports invited."
