                                        SECRET


                                                           25 April 1977



               SUBJECT:     AMTRUNK Operation





                    1.  Description:

                        The proposal for this operation  was presented to
               CIA by Tad SZULC, via Mr. Hurwitch,  the State Department
               Cuban Coordinator, in February 1963.   It allegedly originated
               with Jorge VOLSKY and Dr. Nestor MiDRENO who referred to it
               as the Leonardo Plan.  Its objective was  to overthrow the
               Cuban Government by means of a conspiracy  among high-level.
               military and civilian leaders of the government  culminating
               in a coup d'etat which would oust both CASTRO  and. the
               Communists from power.  The CIA supported  this activity and
               encrypted it AMTRUNK.  The AMTRUNK cryptonym  was changed to
               AMSTEAMER in the Spring of 1965, several  additional
               infiltration/exfiltration missions were  attempted or
               completed, and the project was terminated  in late 1966 due
               to security problems.  In retrospect, the  activity appears
               to have been insecure and doomed to failure  from its inception
               primarily for lack of compartmentatiai, and  loose talk on
               the part of its principals.

                    2.  Findings:

                        a.  UFGA 11375, dated 30 September  1963:

                            The wife of AMLEO-3  (Jose Ricardo RABEL Nunez.
               a JMWAVE Station asset directly involved  in the AMTRUNK
               Operation), reportedly made direct contact with  Fidel CASTRO
               on 7 September 1963 at Santa Maria Beach, Cuba,  in which
               she asked CASTRO's permission for her and her  children to
               leave Cuba to join AMLEO-3 in the U.S.  Mrs. AMLEO-3
               reportedly expressed fear that AMLEO-3 would  find another
               woman if she didn't join him.  CASTRO replied  by asking
               do you consider yourself a burden to your husband?   Mrs.
