A cable from JMWAVE on November 29, 1963, stated that "PBPRIME (US) contract agent AMPAL-1 (IDEN-1) going MEXI 29 Nov pick up AMWEE-1 messages and AMWEE-2 passport from AMWEE-3 and debrief AMWEE-3 re plans transfer to Guadalajara. AMPAL-1 will stay Hotel Francis under alias Joe Anderson. Request MEXI staffer contact AMPAL-1 at hotel between 0900 and 1100 hours 30 Nov to deliver ref letter to A-1 who will bring back to WAVE same day. Staffer can introduce self as colleague of Gordon R. Hawlott (IDEN-2)."

Another cable on the same day stated IDEN-1 was Alec (aka Abe) Resnick.

According to a document in 1961 AMPAL-1 was introduced by Dr. Jose Julio Fernandez to Captain Ernesto Despain as "Joe Anderson, FBI man."

A dispatch in January of 1964 stated that AMPAL-1 as "Joe" was exposed to AMTRUNK-13 and AMAGREE-1.
