Now working with a group of local businessmen and attorneys in Chicago to 'infiltrate and combat Communism in Latin America'.

05/18/62: CIA cable: DIR-JMWAVE (Orig: C. W. Hicks, Unit: TFW/PM): CONF: TFW 10 INFO: DDP, CI/OPS, S/C 2 PRIORITY WAVE GYROSE 1. AMPANIC-9 contacted HQs via phone from the Georgia area on 17 and 18 May 1962 re an individual (name unknown) who supposedly had just come out from Cuba with info on the reorganization of the UR. 2. A-9 confirmed he could still contact Peters, was told to do so re above info and we would alert Peters who would handle same. 3. FYI: No further details known. This may be of real interest re "Classical UR" or the "New UR" which has been reported to include the MRR, MRP and other major groups. This also could just be an attempt by A-9 to get back on our payroll since ODENVY (FBI) hampered his independent action."
October 1962: Summary of AMPANIC-9 CIA cables show that AMPANIC-9/Wilfredo Brito was in contact with CIA operatives Calvin Hicks, William Cowgill and Dominique Pantleone ("Peters"). In addition, an October 1962 CIA cable stated that AMPANIC-9 was a charter member of the Unidad Revolucionaria, and was related to AMBLEAK-1 (the CIA cryptonym for Estaban Joaquin Blanco Sanchez, an official of Rescate. Also known as Fernando Fernandez Cavada y Paris, an official of UR, and Frank Dutton (MFF), by marriage. Furthermore, AMPANIC-9 seems to have regularly given anti-Communist lectures to civic groups in the United States. AMPANIC-9 was also active, along with Rafael Diaz Hanscomb, in contacting Sinclair Oil and the CIA, in requesting assistance for the UR. *See 180-10145-10158, 04/11/78, Page 16:
