104-10233-10327: DISPATCH: OPERATIONAL- -TRANSMITTAL OF PASSAVOY MEMO NO. 177
02/08/62: Dispatch from COS, JMWAVE to Chief, WH: "Transmitted under separate cover is Memorandum No. 177 submitted by Theodore F. Passavoy. Occurrences such as those described in this memorandum only serve to intensify the growing dislike between AMBUD-1 (Jose Miro Cardona) and AMCORE-2 (Luis Ernesto Conte Aguero) and lessen the prestige of the AMBUD (Cuban Revolutionary Council - CRC) organization still further in the eyes of those aware of the factionalism that plagues the exile movement. AMCORE-2's talents are almost completely confined to being a rabble-rousing public speaker and at this he is excellent, as acknowledged by the referenced cable. It is unfortunate that this talent is not combined with personal discipline, common sense and unselfish devotion to the cause of Cuba." Originating Officer: Jane D. Astrahan, Office: PW. Coordinating Officer: Robert K. Trouchard (William Kent), Office Symbol: C/PW. Releasing Officer: Eric D. Rodwick (Al Cox), Office Symbol: COS.

B. Headquarters has no interest in AMICE-31's attendance at the meeting described in paragraph 3 but also no objections to his accepting the invitation if Station JMWAVE deems it advisable or considers this will be of value in any of the Station's own operations.
