the Cuban Section, tried to Agee to discuss the development Of contacts
with access to the Cuban target in the O.ympics. In these discussions it may
well be that Agee was

(LIARM-l is no longer a contact @f the
Statogfjevier
though he is still with[he
rifle team. )

Agee could provide lio ieads O1 assistalice tJ this Section in i5 efiort to tafget
against the Cuban teams; She recalls no memoranda prepared by Agee for the
Section; no leads given the Section, and he came to discuss the olympics with
C/Cuba not more than half a dozen times:
