S-1 was visited on the evening of 15 October, at his new address (REDACTION) to discuss recent HQs requirements. 2. S-1 was excited to learn his old boss: Ramon Cesar Cuenca Montoro is in Caracas. 'I just knew he had to be there because the Cuban Ambassador (Norberto Hernandez Curbelo) was my boss in the DGI (c. 1963-64) and 'Cesar' was above us both.' (In other words, in c. 1963-64, Cuenca was superior in rank to both S-1 and Hernandez - the present Cuban Ambassador to Venezuela). (Cuenca was known as Cesar to his coworkers/friends). 3.

I told P to tell S-1 the FBI is investigating the case. Note: change in job may affect S-1's ability to travel, it may be difficult to go Leave for any length of time so soon after coming on the job. I told P we are zeroing in on Luciano Vazquez in Rotterdam, waiting for confirmation of his ICS presence there, also whether family is with him. Will have P contact Fernandez de la Prosilla (old friend of V's) in Port Charlotte, then make decision on how to make approach, using either S-1 or Fernandez. Also gave P 2 photos (from Sylvia) to show S-1, to determine whether he recognizes either and if so, to obtain background and assessment info. Photos on Carlos Lastra and uniden Cuban male..."
