**SUBJECT:** Luis Clemente Posada-Carriales

* In 1961, Posada arrived in the US as a political refugee and was interviewed by JMWAVE (CIA's Miami station).
* He reported his brother Roberto as an employee of the Cuban Telephone Company in Havana.
* In 1965, Posada was involved in planning a Guatemalan coup with Roberto Alejos-Azu, which came to the attention of the FBI.
* Posada claimed he "just forgot" to report transactions with Frank Rosenthal (aka "Lefty") in October 1966.
* He planned to seek employment in Caracas, Venezuela through an old friend Ricardo Venturini.
* In August 1967, Posada was identified as a member of the Cuban DSE by JMWAVE.
* He had previously worked with CIRASH-4 and was considered a good asset for the Caracas station.
* Posada's brother Roberto was considered trustworthy by the Cuban government to travel overseas on an OOC mission in 1966.
* Gustavo Ernesto Ortiz-Faez, a contact of Posada's, was involved in the political murder of an anti-Communist professor at Havana University.

**RECOMMENDATIONS:**

* In September 1967, DIRECTOR discouraged any further JMWAVE encouragement for Posada to work with DIGEPOL.
* RI traces on Rafael Trenols and Gustavo Ernesto Ortiz-Faez revealed derogatory information.
* In October 1967, JMMAVE-90802 reported a telephone call from Gustavo Ortiz informing ANGLEVE-15 that CIRASH-4 would be the new director of DIGEPOL.

**SECURITY CLEARANCE:**

* Posada's security clearance was classified as "unsavory character" due to his involvement in shady deals and associations with unsavory individuals.
