Documents / FOIA release
This Central Intelligence Agency file on Eloy Gutierrez Menoyo, approved for release in 2026, collects cables, trace requests and index cards from 1965 to 1971. They follow his capture during an infiltration of Cuba from the Dominican Republic around December 1964 and his Havana television appearance, which JMWAVE judged demoralizing for exiles. Other cables cover an Army intelligence (ACSI) operation linked to him and letters he later smuggled out of Cuban prisons. The file does not discuss UFOs.

TO Deputy Chief, WH/SA INFO. ONLY QUALIFIED HEADQUARTERS DESK CAN JUDGE INDEXING FROM Chief of Station, JMWAVE ABSTRACT SUBJECT TYPIC/Operational A.DELL-1 Information on Eloy *GUTIERREZ Menoyo MICROFILM ACTION REQUIRED REFERENCES FYI: 1. AMDELL-1 spoke with AMRAZZ-1 on two separate occasions and learned the following information with the dates and sources as indicated. 2. AMRAZZ-1 spoke on 31 January 1965 with Sergio (LNU) who had just reached Miami from the Dominican Republic. Sergio stated that GUTIERREZ had gone to Cuba with three other men on 20 December 1964, landing near Baracoa, Oriente. The only members in this first infiltration were those arrested. GUTIERREZ had promised to contact his base by radio on 31 December 1964, but no message was ever received. Plans called for another group of about seven men to infiltrate into Cuba at Baracoa on or before 20 January 1965. The group left the Dominican Republic on 20 January according to plan. Near the Cuban coast, they were pursued by three Cuban patrol boats and one airplane but managed to escape. The boat used in both infiltration attempts was called the "Betrand" which may mean a Bortram boat. 3. AMRAZZ-1 reported on 1 February that he had spoke on 31 January 1965 to Reynaldo ABREU in charge of GUTIERREZ' affairs in Miami who in turn had spoken to Celio VAZQUEZ, GUTIERREZ' main contact in the Dominican Republic by telephone on 30 January 1965. VAZQUEZ stated he could not come to Miami at that time as he was taking charge of dismantling the base there. He also needed about $10,000.00 to clear up back bills owed by the group. However, on 3 February 1965, AMDELL-1 reported AMRAZZ-1 had again spoken to Reynaldo ABREU who declared the members of GUTIERREZ' group in the Dominican Republic intended to go ahead with the plan to infiltrate Cuba. To his knowledge a leader had not been decided upon but ABREU believed the only person capable was Angel BANOS. (See paragraph 5 below for traces). / CONTINUED / Distribution: 3 - DC/WH/SA
