3/18/68 cable, JMWAVE 1703, slugline RYBAT REDTOP AETARGET TECHS PBRUMEN: "JMWAVE has no trained Cuban audio techs ref TDY. However number of trained radio operators with technical background who trained and seasoned in operations with native Spanish capability available and possibly suitable. While JMWAVE not aware HQs plans for further use individuals now assigned JMCHALK, believe this program has number (of) individuals worth considering, including KICOBALT-1, 2, 3 or 4, unless security considerations preclude their use in Buenos Aires. Use of AMLILAC-30 or AMLILAC-33 (note: 201-741331) may also warrant consideration although they being considered for assignment elsewhere. KICOBALT-4 (formerly AMLILAC-32) possibly warrants special consideration because of his experience and training as electrician's helper during period January 1966-October 1967 with a private company. This experience did include working on air conditioners. In addition he is 32 year old bachelor who has had extensive training and operational experience as member of AMLILAC group including training in radio. Most recently he has been on JMCHALK operational assignment to La Paz. In addition to JMCHALK personnel, station is still in touch with AMSTALK-1/Miguel Angel Diaz Isalgue who recently terminated, but who by virtue his training, experience, and background may be best candidate. AMSTALK-1 is 32 year old graduate of University of Havana who has been actively associated with (CIA) since 1961 as MHAPRON infiltree/recruiter special operations special operations team leader and principal agent."
