5. Information on the background of the Cuban is fairly extensive,
but it is inconclusive. He is known to have been a member of anti- .
Castro organizations in this country. There are also reports that
his’ mother was imprisoned in Cuba at one time. There are other
episodes in his life that suggest intelligence involvement on his part :
with some hostile service, but this is not yet definitely established.
6. The Office of Security has had at times a second informant
in this case. His reporting has tended to confirm reporting by the .
principal informant. :
8. The Offide of Security has been running this operation for -
over two years, in an effort to obtain conclusive proof of its intelli-
gence nature. CI Staff has been kept informed.. The FBI, which
was informed of the case at an early stage, has declined to take re-
sponsibility for it, on grounds that it concerns CIA's internal security. |
. As a result, the Office ofSecurity has been inhibited in the actions
: it can take against the Cuban suspect. On the other hand, Security -
{ has not taken any action against Agency employees for fear of com-
| promising the operation.
R 9. It would appear to me that the Office of Security has dallied f
with this case long enough. Apparently unable through positive measures .
to resolve doubts about the case, O/S has followed, the course of watch- |
ful waiting, hoping the Cuban would take precipitadt action himself that i
would give us the evidence we seek. In the meantime, our knowledge :
of the relationship between the Cuban and the several other current
- Agency employees with whom he is known to have contact continues
