11/09/59: Dispatch from COS, Panama City to Chief, WH Division (Info: COS, Habana): Subject: Activities of Juan Emilio Nunez Portuondo, Cuban Exile and Opposition Leader: ..."3. It undoubtedly was Nunez Portuondo's sojourn in Panama and his meeting with government officials that contributed to expressions of concern by Station liaison sources over Cuban policy toward Panama. One manifestation of that concern was a report (Attachment C) that the head of the (REDACTION) of HYFRACE addressed to the Minister of Government and Justice. 4. When HYPOTHESIS-8 passed the Station a copy of his chief's report, he said that the source of the information was Sanchez (fnu) whom he described as a Batista exile living in Panama City; and Sanchez' source was a person who travels between Panama and Cuba. When passing the report, HYPOTHESIS-3 said that Sanchez had a connection with Nunez Portuondo whom the HYFRACE organization regarded as the head of the Cuban opposition, and that Nunez Portuondo had informed President Ernesto de la Guardia Jr. and Hector Valdes Ferrabone, Minister of Government and Justice, that strong action against Panama was being planned in Cuba. After an initial and several follow-up queries to HYPOTHESIS-8 for identification of Sanchez, HYPOTHESIS-8, after several days of checking, affirmed that he had learned that the person in question was Jose Sanchez Ramirez, whom Station records show is a former lieutenant in the Cuban National Police, who came to Panama on 19 January 1959 (reported in PACY-4303).
