10/12/60: Dispatch from Chief of Base, Sau Paulo to Chief, SR (Info: Chief, WHD; COS, Rio de Janeiro): Subject: Operational/REDWOOD/AEACRE Accommodation Address: "1. In accordance with instructions contained in reference, the Base has been servicing the accommodation address at least once a week through the services of ALLOMETER-2 who rented this post office under an alias. On 7 October 1960 the Base forwarded a letter which ALLOMETER-2 had picked up the day before. This letter was registered, and ALLOMETER-2 was obliged (for the second time) to make a personal appearance before the responsible persons and to sign (in alias) an acknowledgement of receipt. If it is at all possible to send these letters unregistered the Base would much prefer that this system be adopted. ALLOMETER-2, over a period of years, has rented many different post office boxes under different names, and the Base considers it a definite security hazard if he is forced to identify himself in the manner required by the registration of these letters. 2. Headquarters attention is called to the fact that the letter which the Base forwarded on 7 October 1960 was postmarked in Europe 0n 12 August 1960. Even in the light of the notoriously slow Brazilian postal system, the Base cannot explain such a long delay in transit for air mail. Such a delay has been typical of almost every letter the Base has received in the past six months. The Base has no reason to disbelieve ALLOMETER-2 in his repeated assertions that he services the box at least once a week. Lucian W. Fabsik."
104-10506-10002: CABLE: POSSIBLE PLOT TO ASSASSINATE PRESIDENT KENNEDY
12/11/62 cable by TFW/CI Richard Tansing to White House Attention: U.S. Secret Service, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of State (Security): "Reference is made to this agency's teletype messages DIR 03964 and DIR 04013, both dated December 8, 1962, subject as above." Tansing learned about FBI reports regarding an Aida Mayo Hernandez living at 330 Haven Avenue, New York City, and wondered if she was the same person as "Aida Mayo Coetara" in DIR 03964. Bill Harvey was all over this, as authenticating agent and releasing agent (signed for ci/liaison), Paul Maggio was coordinating and signed "for" the C/TFW/CI - at the time, this would have been either Harold Swenson or Tansing himself.
MFR RE POSSIBILITY AMLEO-3 UNDER CONTROL OF CUBAN SECURITY SERVICES: 104-10103-10351
Re 11/17/63 and the days after: "I have no facts to substantiate my argument but there are definite indicators leading to the strong possibility that AMLEO-3 may be under the control of the Cuban Security Services or is being manipulated by them by virtue of the fact that AMLEO-3's wife and children are in their custody so to speak...There was an AMLEO-3 letter of 11/17/63 that caused great suspicion, it was delivered to AMLEO-2's daughter in Miami and daughter didn't know the courier." ...One aspect of the letter suggested that AMLEO-3 pay some money, and he would see his family in a week. Another aspect of the letter suggested that AMELO-3 should give back the pistol and offer to give back the plane to the Cubans at the UN... "We went thru this crack in the door. We sent AMLEO-3 and a WAVE Case officer to Mexico. (Probably Tony Sforza?) AMLEO-3 contacts the cut-out who we learned was known to AMLEO-3 and an old friend. About the time AMLEO-3 and his case officer were en route to Mexico we learn that AMLEO-2 arrives Mexico from Cuba AMLEO-3 met with AMLEO-2 in Mexico and got the story from her about his family. In my opinion, he may well have received work at this time from Fidel thru his sister AMLEO-2. In any event, after making payment to the cut-out, AMLEO-3 and case officer return to Miami. AMLEO-2 also returns to Miami...I recommend we take a good CI look at this whole case of AMLEO-3...THIS CASE IN MY OPINION REPRESENTS A FLAP POTENTIAL WHICH WE WOULD FIND VERY DIFFICULT TO LIVE WITH IF OCCURS." Memorandum for the Record, 2/10/64, written by Paul Maggio.
