Frank Sturgis was involved with Cuban fronts, and his connection to the Agency is unknown. E. Howard Hunt worked on propaganda activities related to Cuba but had no known involvement in the Bay of Pigs planning. Frank Florini and Frank Sturgis had no official or unofficial contact with the CIA.

The CIA's files reveal no contacts between the Agency and Frank Sturgis or Frank Florini, and George Sturbitts is emphatic that they were never employed by the Agency.

The AMOTS (Anti-Ministerial Organization in Exile) was a group of proprietary hires who worked for the CIA in Miami, conducting intelligence gathering and operations related to Cuba. They collected dossiers on Cuban refugees, provided economic and social reporting, and published a monthly newsletter.

The larger group of AMOTS was engaged in counterintelligence activities, identifying potential infiltrators and turning over promising leads to the Bureau. They also conducted electronic intercepts, monitoring Cuban communications, including border guards, sugar networks, and maritime communications.

George Sturbitts worked with Cuban elements in Florida and elsewhere in the country on behalf of the Agency. He was not involved in the AMOTS during the 1959-1961 period or the Bay of Pigs operation.

The CIA's involvement in counterintelligence activities in the Miami area was primarily a function of the overwhelming number of people and the Bureau's inability to properly staff the thing.

The CIA used moral suasion to persuade American companies to cooperate with them in denying spare parts to Cuban industry. They conducted economic warfare by raising tariffs on nickel exports from Cuba, which led to a decline in the country's ability to export nickel-containing products.

In terms of paramilitary operations, the CIA conducted maritime operations against Cuba, including infiltration and exfiltration of agents, hit-and-run sabotage raids, and other activities. These operations were manned by CIA contract employees, including Cuban refugees and some CIA officers.

The training for these operations was conducted in part within the United States and in part outside of it, with a major portion being conducted domestically. The operations commenced shortly after the Bay of Pigs and continued until 1968, when they were terminated due to their high cost and lack of intelligence value.

John F. Kennedy's assassination investigation involved the CIA's use of access agents to contact relatives of Cubans in the U.S., propaganda activities by the Miami Station, and termination of covert action facility (radio, taped program).
