157-10005-10258: TESTIMONY RE: CUBAN OPERATION, 1 AUG 1975
William Weatherby (alias for William Wainwright) testified that he was with "Third Country operations" within Task Force W, defined by him as operations against Cuba in countries other than Cuba or the United States. (p. 9) He testified that he worked directly under Edward Maurelius, who worked directly under the Task Force W chief or his deputy. (p. 10). Sam Halpern was an executive officer who was divorced from operations. Bruce Cheever was the deputy chief my entire time there. I worked with AMLASH (Rolando Cubela Secades) from June 1962 until I turned him over to AMLASH Case Officer (almost certainly Nestor Sanchez) in September, 1963. Case Officer used alias of Garmire when testifying (p. 14). Maurelius died on 7/29/75. (p. 17)
