MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD SUBJECT: Meeting with AMBUNNY-1 (201-775391) and AMWHIP-1 (201-267966) DATE: 25 May 1965, 1900-2030 hours PLACE: Office of AMWHIP-I, 31 W. 47th St., New York, N.Y. PRESENT: AMBUNNY-1, AMWHIP-I, and DAMICONE using alias of AL MARIN

  1. I had introduced AMPUNNY-1 and AMWHIP-1 to each other 21 May but the office was crowded, so there was very little opportunity to discuss operational matters. We met again on the above date, after business hours, and we were able to meet in private. Although AMWHIP told me that he was delighted with AMBUNNY-1 herself, as he said the "Cubans like that kind of girl - not too fancy", he thought that her background particularly her previously working for the (U.S. Ambassador in Bolivia) would make the operation very risky. He said that if it were discovered that AMPUNNY-1 was a penetration of the UNSNAFU-19 office (by the Cubars) his connection with ODYOKE would then be revealed, with the result that all his "connections" with UNSNAFU-19, and "Habana" would be lost. AMWHIP-1 opined that he thought it likely that the Cubans would check her out in (Bolivia)

  2. AMWHIP suggested the possibility of using a cutout to introduce AMBUNNY-1 to the UNSNAFU-19 installation. He said he would explain in detail at a later time, what he meant, obviously not wanting to reveal any more than necessary to AMBUNNY-1.

  3. Also, AMWHIP-I stated that he was unable to travel to Paris before mid-June, as he had some relatives coming to visit him from Italy. After checking with DI UBALDO, I subsequently informed AMWHIP-I and AMBUNNY-1 that the Paris operation was off. Both expressed relief. I told AMDUNNY-1 that she could most likely still be utilized in Rabat, and that we would discuss the possibilities at a later date.
