A cable from JMWAVE on September 20, 1961, stated that "in view fact Messrs Dean, Crozier in temporary quarters w/o HHE at time designation PCS 20 August, request authority terminated per diem above individuals on date arrival HHE but not beyond 20 September 1961." In addition, a dispatch on November 15, 1961, stated that "Harold R. Noemayr and William D. Wenmead were assigned PCS to JMWAVE on 20 August 1961." This appears to match the 09/20/61 cable above. Therefore, Wenmead was FNU Dean.

A cable on October 12, 1961, stated that "in order clarify extent and nature support promised AMBUD-1 (Jose Miro Cardona) desire Wenmead obtain discreetly from AMTIKI-1 (Manuel F. Goudie) more detailed breakdown AMBUD (Cuban Revolutionary Council - CRC) monthly budget, amplifying general description obtained by Passavoy (probably Col. Wendell C. Johnson) from Wenmead such as number of people on payroll in different categories."

A dispatch on October 28, 1961, mentioned Harold R. Noemayr (Ross Crozier) and William D. Wenmead. The dispatch said of the latter "in anticipation of being assigned PCS JMWAVE Wenmead placed his HHE in transit storage in Washington, D.C. on 27 July 1961 from whence they were shipped to Miami on 24 August 1961. The date of the personnel action assigning Wenmead PCS JMWAVE is unknown. His PCS travel order approval date is illegible."
