Summary:  
The documents detail interactions involving Eduardo Whitehouse, a Cuban pilot associated with U.S. intelligence operations during the Bay of Pigs Invasion (1961) and the WITHRUSH Project in Congo (November 1964–April 1965). In June 1971, Whitehouse attempted to contact U.S. intelligence via Miami’s Domestic Contact-Service channel, offering information about Cuban pilots allegedly recruited for flights to El Salvador. A July 1969 report references a $20,000 offer to pilot F-51 aircraft to El Salvador, involving Whitehouse and others, though no direct link to the JFK assassination is established. Financial records from August 1965 describe a settlement for unpaid wages (reduced from $1950 to $1067.67) and medical expenses incurred during his Congo assignment. Administrative actions, including file closures and medical evaluations, are noted but do not provide evidence of involvement in assassination plots or events related to JFK. Additional records reference medical assessments, contract terminations, and logistical coordination for pilots, with some unclear references to "WITHRUSH" or "WITRUSH."
