It should not be much of a surprise that CIA reports on the Cuban compound in Mexico City during 1963 are repeatedly sent to Harveys people. Harvey had a long history as the CIAs wiretap czar, and the phones and movements of Cuban government employees in the Mexican capital were monitored on a daily basis. Harveys confidant Anita Potocki and her colleagues wrote few reports while they quietly watched Cuban press secretary Teresa Proenza, UN ambassador Carlos Lechuga, and Lechugas mistress Silvia Duran. These incidents and these confidants merit close scrutiny. Duran and Proenza, who had a long mutual history of working for Cuba-Mexico friendship, suddenly had bulls-eyes on their backs while working at the Cuban compound in Mexico City. The espionage surrounding the Cuban compound was intense. It was ground zero.
Bill Harvey at the CIA and Edward Lansdale at Defense had been working throughout 1962 on Operation Mongoose, a plan to overthrow Castro that was run right out of Bobby Kennedys office. Harvey and Bobby Kennedy worked very closely during this period, with the two men even sharing CIA officer Charley Ford as a key aide. Harvey would tell Ford to pass certain information on to RFK because he didn't want to do it himself. Harvey
increasingly started referring to Bobby as ―that fucker.
A principal initiator of the AMTRUNK operation was New York Times reporter and [SUP]Kennedy confidant Tad Szulc, best known for his writings on national security issues. JFK once asked Szulc his opinion on assassination, and was pleased when Szulc told him what a bad idea it was. [/SUP][SUP]Szulc was a fine journalist and an excellent analyst, but needed some first-[/SUP][SUP]
[/SUP]
[SUP]rate support to put together an operation of this magnitude. He didn't get it. Harveys [/SUP]
[SUP]colleague David[/SUP] [SUP]Morales made sure to attend one of the very first meetings in February 1963[/SUP][SUP].[/SUP]
Should it be a surprise that my father stole the only known photographs out of the CIA Headquarters in Miami of the men involved in Kennedy's assassination? Several of the Miami anti-Castro Cubans had already confirmed this to me.
