G4664 23 October 1963 C Subjeet: 1den A Subject was interviewed during 10, 16, and 19 October 1903 and tested on 10 and 19 October. The interview was requested by George P. WATTS. The purpose of the interviews was to determine whether Subject was essentially truthful in his description of the plotting of a group headed by Iden B for the elimination of Fidel CASTRO Luz and communist elements in the upper ochelons of the Castro government, whether he was connected with the intelligence service of any country, and whether he was in this country on any sort of mission unknown to KU6AHK. The interviews were conducted in Spanish by the examiner. ## RESULTS Subject did not come to this country on a mission for Cuban G-2 or for the intelligence service of any other country. Subject's account of the Ideen B plot weakened considerably during the course of interviewing. However, Subject, is acquainted with Ideen B and does consider Ideen B to be the leader of a GOC faction disaffected with communism in the government. A few events in Subject's life which he had not mentioned in his PRQ or debriefing were encountered during the interviews. However, no attempt was made to clarify all of Subject's personal history during LOPLOTTER interviews. ## BACKGROUND Subject came to this country in July 1963 on the Maximus. ANOT interviews with Subject and with Subject's friend Iden C developed the story of a plot involving Iden B and other members of the GOC who opposed the communist influence of the government and intended to eliminate the chief supporters of communism and also Pidel CASTRO. CASTRO was said to be aware of the friction between the two factions and mediating between the two. It was also understood from interviews with Iden C that Subject carried messages concerning the plans for Carlos PRIO Socorras and wanted help from him. George P. WATTS contacted Subject and debriefed him on his personal history and on the Idon B plot. Prior to any interrogation, Subject was turned over to LCFLUTTER for the purpose of determining whether he had been sent and whether there was any truth to the Idon B story.
