WAVE tentatively interprets this conversation to mean exfil attempt should not be made. Phone conversation mentioned paragraph 2 (DIR 84284) indicates info passed and AMCANOE-3/ heading for exfil point. Sea area between Florida Keys and exfil point still (illegible) by heavy seas which makes any exfil attempt impractical with available station boats. AMRIPE-2/"Jose" also advised AMRIPE-1/"Maggie" that he mailed her letter 21 Nov. WAVE interprets this to mean that A-2 sent (shortwave) to WAVE, explaining change in plans, via NIEXIT pouch due Mexico 22 November. In view importance exfiltrating AMCANOE-3/Antonio Jose Ramirez Mendez and obvious complications which would ensue were he arrested, WAVE requests Headquarters use whatever influence available try convince AMCANOE/a Cuban resistance group assets refrain from all unnecessary phone calls to AMCANOES in Cuba."
