He will also be sent by the Base to Mexico City with the above mentioned letter so that he can plead his case in person.

104-10102-10268: SUBJECT OF 201-65845
10/25/63: Dispatch from Chief of Base, Monterrey to Chief, WH Division (Info: COS, Mexico City): "1. Base Monterrey sources LIVACATE/1, LIVAGUE/1, and LITANG have given no indication that Subject has mentioned the approach by a PBPRIME (U.S.) citizen asking him to write a book. According to those sources Subject still does not have a job and LIVAGUE/1 reported that Subject visited him on 23 October and asked him for a loan. LIVAGUE/1 loaned him some money, although he later told his Case Officer that he did not expect to get it back. 2. LITANG and LIVAGUE/1 have reported that Subject has had little success in forming a dissident group in Monterrey because there is disagreement among the persons involved. LIVAGUE/1 says that Mateo Saenz Garza, with whom Subject has been meeting, refused to go along because he wants to be the leader of any group of which he is a part. Despite Subject's problems in forming the group and his lack of salary, each Central Committee member who visited Monterrey has requested that LIVACATE/1 watch Subject closely and keep Mexico City informed of his activities. LIVACATE/1 says that Subject knows too much about each of the Central Committee members and that they are therefore afraid of him. Luke B. Marschalek."

Perselye, Interrogation Research Division to WH/3/MEX: "Background Information: Subject of this report is a married, male citizen of Mexican citizenship who was born 10 February 1909 in Torreon, Coahila, Mexico. He is currently being utilized by KUBARK (CIA) as a penetration of the Mexican Communist Party (PCM). Subject has not been previously LCFLUTTERed. Purpose of the Interrogation: The request to LCFLUTTER Subject was initiated by the WH Division and coordinated in the field by Luke B. Marschalek, Subject's case officer. LCFLUTTER was conducted to determine if Subject has disclosed his KUBARK relationship to unauthorized persons, if he has or is now working for and/or reporting to any other intelligence organization, and if he has withheld any of his PCM history from us. LCFLUTTER was conducted in Spanish on 17 October 1963 at a safesite in Torreon, Mexico...David G. Perselye." Distribution: Orig - Bauman, Hannah, Gaynor.
