In early January 1958, Vaivada volunteered to undertake a mission to contact Cuban rebel leader Fidel Castro ?ux in the Sierra Mhestre mountains in south-eastern Cuba. He arranged for his free passage into the Sierras through contacts within the 26 July Morenent which -he and the Station. developed earlier. After the necessary arrangements, Vaivada loft La Habana on 5 April 1958 for Santiago dc Cnba,_ from where he left for- the Sierras under the escort of rebel guides. In the course of approximately twenty daye' etay at the mountain hideout of Castro 3 headouarterc, during which time he has exposed to many hardships and great personal risks, he accompanied Castro and a farce of about 200 rebels on their damn attack on the town of Hanzanillo on 26 March 1958. At Hanzanillo, Vaiveda broke off contact with the Cuban rebels and returned to his base in Habana. 3. During his relatively short stay in the Sierra Haestra mountains, Vaivada was able to gather considerable intelligence and operational information of noteworthy value, together with an excellent photographic coverage of his trip.

This could be easily arranged here in the event an LCFLUTTER team is passing, or could pass, through Habana; on the other hand, could just as easily go to any designated niece in Florida in order to take this test. It is understand that teams from time to time visit that state. 2. The Station will take such measures as are feasible to cover the activities of and his wife while in Habana. 3. While the matter was not referred to in the reference, Suoject's projected one?year tour of duty will end in June, 1958, at which time it is desire to leave Cuba for a reassignment in another area in his present line of onerational and under similar unofficial cover conditions. A detailed dispatch on this subject will shortly be trans? mitted to Headquarters; it is referred to here so that the Esadquarters desk may be alerted to the need for considering what assignments would be open to VAIVADA during the Spring or Summer of 1958.
