"One of Julio's (probably AMPAL-1) subagents, a young woman I remember only as 'Betty', fell into this trap. She had begun to frequent the home of 'Mongo' (AMCOG-1, Ramon Grau, Jr., son of the former Cuban president - and 'Polita', more formally known as Ramon Grau Alsina and Maria Leopoldina Grau Alsina, the adopted children of former president Ramon Grau San Martin. Their home had become a magnet for disaffected Cubans, and Mongo himself had become involved with one of our other nets. One day Betty told us by a burst transmission that she was in danger of arrest, so we set up an operation to exfiltrate her from Cuba...(a paramilitary team met Betty and one other agent), "our party had located the dinghy and was now well equipped to await the Rex's arrival. The pickup was finally achieved, and our two hunted agents were safe in Florida."
