                              1.  Problem

                                  To attempt to determine extent and nature of possible
                          compromise of the Staybehind Not resulting from the reported
                          arrest -of. AMONCERT-1- by Cuban G-2.

                              2.  Circumstances
                              ZIXO   18 October 19610'Headquarters received a message from
                          the Madrij Station that theCUATUMh representative at the Spanish
                          Embassy in Cuba reported that AICONWERT-1 had been arrested by
                          G-2 during the week of 9 October, when he tried to make a clandes-
                          tine exit from Varadero Beach. No further details were given
                          other than the fact that AMCONCERT-1 was being held at G-2
                          Headquarters in Matanzas.

                                 The events which lead to AMCONCEIRT-1's subsequent appre-
                         hension by G-2 appears to be as follows:

                                 a.  After taking asylum at the Brazilian Embassy
                                     sometime in July, it is apparent that ANCONCERT-1
                                     had made up his mind to effect an escape to Miami
                                     via channela used by other members in the Staybehind
                                     Net previously.  Accordingly, he met Jorge NOBREGAS
                                     (known as O00)  on the afternoon of 4 Au  st  who
                                     informed him that necessary arrangements for  is
                                     exfiltratton had been completed, and that he would
                                     leave that weekehd by boat from the Varadero Beach
                                     area.  It appears that NOBREGAS was serving in a
                                     cut-out capacity between AMODNCERT-1 and the
                                     Staybehind Net, and was reportedly given 2,000 pesos
                                     by A)STOM-1 to grease the skids for AMCONCET-l's
                                     escape.  When ANCONCERT-1 reached the rendezvous
                                     site at the designated time where he was supposed to
                                     meet NOBREGAS, he learned from an individual known
                                     as CU(  that NOBREGAS and three Cubans had already
