Re early December 1963: Undated notes of unknown CIA officer - "Ambassador Mann was concerned that Alvarado had changed his story because he had been mentally and physically abused by the Mexicans...Mexico City Station reported that a PBSWING (embassy) investigation did not support Alvarado's claim he was threatened with hanging by the testicles. Alvarado met his case officer for the first time on December 2 and reverted to his original story, giving the above threat as reason for changing it. A cable was sent to Alexis Johnson by Mann recommending that (CIA) and FBI polygraph Alvarado in Managua. Headquarters agreed he should be polygraphed but not returned to Nicaragua until he was. The Mexicans were to turn over Alvarado to Mexico City Station, but they were not to be aware of the purpose for the release. Calvin Davis of KUSODA/Office of Security was to administer the polygraph and Clark Anderson was to interpret. After study with the legal attache it was decided that the interrogation should be held at an apartment used by KUCLUB/Office of Communications personnel...(Alvarado) took the polygraph and it indicated the story was false. Alvarado said he had the utmost confidence in the exam. Headquarters asked that the Mexican and Nicaraguan authorities not take punitive action that would cause Alvarado to resume his fabrication. Alvarado returned to Managua on December 8th...(p. 9): "...(the CIA) get a chance to possibly pin the assassination of JFK on (Castro's) regime and it seems they are trying to disprove Alvarado from the beginning. I have no explanation why this would be because it is so out of character."
