                            MRADUM FOR THE RECORD

                            SUBJECTs  Cuba 'TD - Edward G. Tichborn (P)                  .


                            3    1.  On 12 January and 13 January I talked with            and
                                         o   11f Division to firm up details Z2Tikhborn's befing here
                            on 15 January and It preparations for his trip to Cuba.

                                 2.  RS the briefing, it was decided that: 1) 14r.         will give
                            Subject a general briefing on the Cuban political situation (the major one
                            will be undertaken by the Station)a    (2) Subject will be given sanitised
                            copies of the Yerlongo (P) report          Section IV, and of the report
                            preparedby-the  Plans BrancFPP/.    antitled nTarget-Study of Opposition
                            Groups in1Cuba to.b6,iead by Subject while at the briefing and then returned
                            to-ua,. Same observation~son security will probably also be made at this
                            time 'in addition to instructions on the manner of keeping and submitting his
                            financial    ounting.I (It should.be mentioned here also that Ulf Finance/Admin
                                  (Mr.  ? is of the opinion thst since Tichborn will return to Vashingtor
                            :i ab~ut 2  weeks t$me, it is not necessary for him to submit his accounts
                            Ir mail, since that can be taken care of on his rbturn.)

                                 3.  The problem which seemed to need most careful consideration was
                            that of his, cover'while in Cuba. In talking to operational contaets he
                            makes-therethe  cover story suggested by the Statiop in IN-47609 of 12 Nov.
                            1959 appears adequate. However, according to Pan American Airways, upon
                            arrival in Havana the visitor is issued.a tourist card by the Cuban
                            Immigration authorities. One mst  state his profession at this tim,  which
                            should present no problem to Tiebborn. It could be that one is also asked
                            his reason forbeing inGuba.   In this case, WH has suggested that the
                            answer o-Ftourist   would be best since less suspicion would be placed on
                            Subject in the beginning. The important aspect, however,.appears to be
                            that of covering Tichbaxn as well as possible in the event that he runs
                            afoul of the Cuban authorities due to the nature of his activities and his
                            contacts.  I brought this matter up with WH and they agreed that some kind
                            of backatopping might be a good idea. As a result, I contacted Mr. Strange
                            of Cover Division who assured me that, if ne-essary, an appropriate letter
                            could be provided Tichborn from a cover com  y~-The  one finally decided
                            upon as. the Aost logical was the                )f  the cover ecpany(in 2L
                                          hich iad otiginally been provided for funding Tichborn.
