CIA File on Ray, Manuel

with IDEN A. Further there is no firm evidence that IDEN C is against the present regime in PERUMEN. IDEN D is another possible contact. Again, other than some unsupported allegations there is no independent firm evidence that IDEN D is anti-regime.

5. IDEN A also claimed in Madrid that IDEN E had sent him a message and that he was considered a potential ally. He explained this in San Juan by saying that during a press conference his name had been mentioned and that IDEN E replied that he considered IDEN A to be his friend. IDEN A rationalized that if IDEN E had not wanted to indicate in some way that he was "with" IDEN A he would have taken this opportunity to blast him.

6. I debriefed IDEN A on his Madrid trip and intentions generally before I introduced him to AMBADGER/1. I had first asked him if he would mind reporting to us via a trusted PERUMEN exile now living in San Juan and, after I had identified AMBADGER/1, he replied that he knew him and respected and liked him. The three of us had a meeting and it was agreed that IDEN A would keep AMBADGER/1 completely informed of his plans and that AMBADGER/1 would convey them to me in PRIME. IDEN A refused to reveal the identities of his agents inside PERUMEN despite strong pressure. He also stated that IDEN F and IDEN G would have to know about his arrangement with AMBADGER/1 and with KUBARK. IDEN F and IDEN G, together with IDEN A, are the triumvirate of the JURE.
