</s>104-10110-10305 2025 RELEASE UNDER THE PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 1992 / $7/2) 31 May 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD SUBJECT: Age Effort Against Cuban Operations at the Mexico City Station 16-3 SUBJECT: Age effort Against Cuban Operations at the Mexico City Station 1. Elsie I. SCALETTI recalls that Raymond A. FRADYER, Chief of Emmais Sherrall the Cuban Section, tried to get Age to discuss the development of contacts with access to the Cuban Target in the Olympics. In these discussions it may well be that Age was told about the LARM-1 (a member of the Mexican rifle team, who was a contact(s) to the Station/LAR-1) and we were trying to get invited to Cuba, 08 (LIAR-I-1 is no longer a contact of the StationJeven though it is still with the rifle team.) 2. SCALEETTI recalls or Cuban Section feeling very frustrated that Age could provide no leads or assistance to this section in its effort to target against the Cuban teams. She recalls no memorandum prepared by Age for the Section; no leads more than the Section, and he came to discuss to the Olympics with C/Cuba not more than half a dozen times. 3. As SCALLETTI recalls, it is unlikely that Age knew any thing about the operations being being against the Cuban target that that which he might have picked up at Headquarters or known about the Station(operations in general -- such as audio, surveillance, photo surveillance, etc. 4. SCALLETTI had ACEETTI, her home once once for dinner; there were no other guests. Age had SCALTETTI, her husband, and Laura J. UTSTINE, and USTINE (04 (on TDY) to his apartment once of dinner. The conversation was always- light. The only significant thing about Age's plans which arose was his discussion about buying drycleaning equipment in the United States, bringing it to Mexico and setting up a drycleane plant. This was brought up as something for the future and just just a drycleanning plant. The United States. 5. SCALTETTI ran into Agee by Chance on the side street by the Embassy one day after the arrival of John A. PROBERT. Age said he understood PROBERT had arrived (as) and would like to say hello. I suggested he call FROBERT, I immediately informed PROBETT of my chance encounter with Age, and informed PROFERT and that Age had resigned under somewhat of a cloud and suggested he get briefed himself on Age's assignment in Mexico.
