Ahh - so David, did you ever see the thread I just mentioned -Interesting Interview with a Cuban Exile? It can still be found, last time I checked. By googling it.
Hey Paul!
I did. The guy was Jose Casas? If so, he was a very interesting guy. He was AMOT-106. An asset of Tony Sforza and Emilio Rodriguez. Casas was also a friend of Cuban Counsel Eusebio Azcue. Azcue was the object of a major recruiting effort during the summer of 1963. Azcue was scheduled to be recalled to Havana Oct 4, 1963 and Casas was tasked to try and make his pitch to Azcue before he went back to Cuba. Winston Scott was putting on the pressure Tony Sforza to get this done. Casas would make his last pitch in September (if his boss would let him go). And in that world of coincidences, Oswald met with Azcue September 27, 1963.

I'm making no judgements about the content of the images I'm only trying to upload them! Why won't it allow me to upload anymore? It says max size 48 bytes! WTF?
Bob,
I had the same issue. You have to go back and delete some of your older uploads/pics. You can do this from your profile.

It contains quite a bit of information on the far right. Jeff spent 20 years researching this book.

It looks like the * refers to electronic surveillance. Here's an example:

Gene,
Hecksher is indeed interesting. He was a member of Fitzgerald's SAS/SO group. The SO group standing for Special Operations. These were the guys later involved in the Autonomous Operations. Hecksher was AMWORLD and Artime's case officer until that role was given to Carl Jenkins. Alfonso Rodriguez handled Manuel Ray, Rogelio Cisneros and the JURE group. Cisneros was close to Sylvia Odio during the time that A-Rod was his case officer.
Nestor Sanchez would work with Rolando Cubela/AMLASH. Others were Seymour Bolten and Charles Anderson. Anderson set up the original phone taping system In Mexico City. As we've seen it was Hecksher that recruited Emilio Rodriguiez in Havana.
Alfonso Rodriguez would later be promoted to Director of Training. The Office of Training would show the Zapruder film in 1965 and 1969. I wonder what the topic was that went along with the showing. The official position is "protective security."

Tom,
I had just read Shackley's testimony yesterday. One take home for me was that Schweiker asked Shackley who the DRE case officer was in 1963 and Seymour Bolten answered off the record. We now know that it was Joannides. So, this would have been known by just a select few just before the HSCA.

Gene,
I found Nagell exasperating. He never quite tells us what he knew. And he had plenty of chances.
I did find a name and address in his notebook interesting - Dr. John Lechner, Americanism Educational League. Lechner was an extreme right-winger that was associated with Hall, Howard, Gabaldon, Burt Mold and Clint Wheat. Harry Dean knew Lechner and revealed that it was from Lechner that Hall, Howard and Alba got their medical supplied that they took to Dallas and left at Lester Logue's house. If my memory is still working, Burt Mold and Carlos Quesada (30th November Group) met with Paulino Sierra in Chicago

Thanks to Rex for doing a great job as usual.

Tom,
Here's Rodriguez's personnel file. He worked for Robert Hunkeler undercover as an electronics salesman. Hunkeler was former CIA. Rodriguez worked as an electronic salesman in Havana. His father Arnesto Sr was his boss for a bit. He was deep undercover. David Morales kept him away from JMWAVE to keep his cover intact.
From our Lancer presentation:
Worked for TFW along with Sforza, Rene Dubois and Frank Belsito
Nov 9, 1967 he suffered a heart attack at Dulles Airport. Was travelling under the name of David Cordova.
ER Doctor was a CIA contract employee who recognized some familiar names. WH Security notified William Broe.
Some of the names in Emilio's address book as noted by the ER doctor.

Way back in the old days when we had to request hard copies of documents from NARA and through the help and kindness of fellow researchers like Anna-Marie Kuhns-Walko, Lisa Pease, Joe Backes, Jeff Caufield, Mary Ferrell and Larry Haapanen I attempted to put together a group of people that Milteer would have associated with.
This what I wrote some 30 years ago but it needs some serious updating.

From letter 1 above. It was Col Frank Egan (see below) that promised the training force that they would have an "umbrella of protection" from above once they were on the beach.

I just stumbled on this doc while doing a search for any info on Whiteside.

Apparently Emilio Rodriguez was also in contact with the NSA. I’d have to check the previous release but it looks his name on this doc was only just unredacted.
Tom,
It was Noell that was redacted.

From Bill's State Secret:
The Church Committee staff refused to accept the FBI’s assurances that the tapes had been destroyed. What the staff missed, unfortunately, was a report from Alan Belmont. (Since the action largely shifted from Dallas to Langley, events will be described using Eastern Standard Time.) At 9:15 am EST, Shanklin told Belmont that Oswald was impersonated on the September 28 call.
“The Agents who spoke to Oswald have listened to the tape provided by the CIA of the call allegedly made by Oswald to the Soviet embassy, and they do not think that the individual was Oswald, as his voice is different and he spoke in broken English.”[ 48 ]From State Secret on poor Russian: -
Like Larry, I also recommend reading Bill Simpich's State Secret. It's loaded with great info on Mexico City. I find that Bill has already covered subjects that I've been looking at.

Arnesto was not a CIA officer. His brother Emilio was. Arnesto was a Banister crony.
As far as impersonating Sylvia Duran, I can only speculate. Arnesto's wife was Mexican and her mother lived in Mexico City. "Hey honey, want to do me and Emilio a favor?" 🙂
-
Gerry, yes and yes.
Oswald visited Arnesto at his Berlitz Language school. Oswald spoke to him in English and Russian. Arnesto gave up because he couldn't keep up with Oswald's Russian. Now if his brother Emilio asked him to call the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City and pretend to be Oswald on September 28th, well that wouldn't be too much of a stretch, would it? The Mexi City CIA translators did say the caller's Russian wasn't very good but his Spanish was much better.

Tom--
Did you see my reply regarding Emilio Americo Rodriquez? The LA-CIA office was investigating him also.
More on Emilio:
Ben,
As always, excellent essay by Alan Dale. I think Larry answered "the why" of the LA office.

I found it interesting that Marshall Carter aka Toddhunter was deeply involved in Operation Tilt. I speculate that it was this failed attempt to exfiltrate the four Soviet military officers that lead to more drastic measures to remove JFK from office.
"2/26/64 dispatch from Chief of Station, JMWAVE to Chief, SAS: "...Operation TILT was essentially an operation designed to see if it would be possible to exfiltrate from Cuba four Soviet military officers who had allegedly defected from a Soviet missile site in Banes, Cuba. Operation TILT was not (CIA)-controlled, but it did utilize REDACTED as (CIA's) window into the operation. Operation TILT involved a strange cast of characters and this resulted in the operation following patterns of implementation which are not typical in (CIA)-controlled operations..."

Steve,
Earl Williamson was DCOS in Madrid. He dealt with Rolando Cubela. James Noel was COS in Madrid. Noel and Williamson worked together previously in Havana.

Noel replaced Hunt in his role for the BOP project.
