07/09/54: Cable from Director: "1. FYI, GUAT Junta probably will shortly request extradition on criminal grounds certain number Asilees harbored in diplomatic establishments, including Ecuadoran Embassy, in GUAT. 2. Through ECSAW, request you put pressure on his superior to influence president comply with Junta request using following lines of persuasion: A). Ecuador by complying will thereby avoid unpleasant international impasse as occurred between Colombia and Peru. B). Ecuador, by taking lead in complying, would blaze trail in resolving tense and potentially loaded situation, opening door for other L.A. countries involved to resolve situation in similar fashion, thereby adding to international prestige Ecuador. C). Should Ecuador refuse request and insist on safe conduct for Asilees as matter of course would have to be received by Ecuador, thereby adding Iron Curtain trained Communists and/or hardened criminals to already alarming local Communist situation. D). Should Ecuador and other countries involved follow misguided 'liberal' policy and insist on safe conduct all or majority Asilees, these countries will in future bear burden presence these hard come Communists and criminals, since strongly anti-leftist countries, e.g., Peru, Venezuela will refuse tolerate their presence. 3. For operational security, suggest no approach to ECFONE, who will undoubtedly follow same line if consulted by president. However, once matter is under discussion, suggest you pressure eccentric use personal influence president to follow above policy. 4. Take no action until receipt cable from HQs. Indicates action taken as outlined para 1."

In attempting establish identity of Jorge Salazar we determined that head of our unilateral investigative team, ECBREW-1, is acquaintance of sister-in-law of Jorge Salazar Sion (who per (REDACTION) 15291, possibly identifiable with Subject). In innocuous conversation with sister-in-law ECBREW-1 told that Jorge Salazar Zion has been student in economics of University of Munich since at least 1968 and that he presently professor at University of Munich. ECBREW-1 told that Salazar, who married to West German, now on tour of Latin America with group from University of Munich and expected arrive Quito around 15 August to visit family. Salazar's brother, Carlos Salazar Sion, according ECBREW-1, is member of extreme rightist organization Nationalist Revolutionary Action of Ecuador (ARNE). 2. We have old (1956) photo of Jorge Salazar Sion which we pouching (REDACTION) as possible assistance in identifying contact of BIDRAGON-16. 3. Believe that it psosible that ECBONE-16 might know Salazar and be able contact him. On other hand, we might also arrange for arrest and interrogation of Salazar after arrival (REDACTION) if (REDACTION) believes this not endangering BIDRAGON-16. Request your comments. 4.

104-10063-10338: CABLE ABOUT JORGE SALAZAR
08/13/71: Cable to Director: Slugline RYBAT BIDRAGON: "1. Appreciate Salazar traces refs and looking forward receiving Quito photos to show BIDRAGON-16. When ECBONE-16 was here he was asked if he knew a 'Jorge Salazar' in Germany, and he said he only knew one in Quito. Since time was short did not prolong discussion about Salazar with ECBONE-16. Suggest Salazar known to ECBONE-16 might be that one listed in Ref B as appearing in liaison report as member PSRE Quito 1967. 2. Since identity of Jorge Salazar who visited here has not been established, (though likely he is identical with Salazar Sion, or Salazar Delgado of Ref C), believe arrest at this time not advisable. Prefer watch Salazar Sion as much as possible and unilaterally try to establish more about his possible connections with Cubans, if he recently was in Buenos Aires, if ECBONE-16 knows him and can provide more info, etc. Would appreicate any info Quito can develop on Salazar Sion or others with similar name. 3.
