Cryptonym: NIEXIT-1
A cable in June of 1962 stated that NIEXIT-1 told AMBLEAK-1 that he was unable to obtain "useful vulnerability data" on Pelegrin Torras. NIEXIT-1 also mentioned that the Western diplomatic community hoped for better relations with the Cuban Foreign Ministry under Torras, and said things could not become worse than they were under Olivares. The comment about the Western diplomatic community possibly indicated that NIEXIT-1 was part of it in some way, or had access to it.
A cable in February, 1963, mentioned a report from Odila Roca via the NIEXIT-1 channel, which was submitted by AMBLEAK-1, on links between official Cuban Government agencies and Nicaraguan communists.
A memo by ONI Special Agent, T. H. Lowery, in October, 1965, stated that Enrique Lindner's mother was Odila Roca. Enrique Lindner was a member of the Unidad Revolucionaria (UR), and later a member of Comandos L and RECE. He was also an associate of Antonio Cuesta Valle, a well known Cuban exile. Moreover, a cable in February of 1965 stated that a JMWAVE investigation, into rumors circulating through Cuban exile circles in Miami that Fidel Castro had died, found that it appeared to have its origins in the Spanish Embassy in Washington, D.C. The cable stated that AMBLEAK-1 said he received a telephone call from Enrique Lindner, who had apparently learned of the rumor from Fernandez Shaw, an employee in the Spanish Embassy, Washington, D.C. Lindner was probably based in Adelphi, Maryland at this time.
