The memo itself is a form with fields for date, sender, recipient, and subject matter, along with a body of text. Handwritten notes in various colors, including red and blue, appear throughout the document. These annotations include case numbers, recipient information, and routing instructions, as well as what appear to be agent's initials and dates. Several official stamps are visible, including ones indicating "XEROX," "DEC 1970," and "OCT 7 1970," as well as a handwritten routing code "105-107781". There is also a prominent signature near the top right of the document, appearing to be an official approval. The document does not contain any photographs of individuals or surveillance targets, nor does it visually depict surveillance methods or informant communications beyond the annotations. Redactions are not visually evident on this page. The document is a memorandum from the FBI's Tampa office dated September 24, 1970, concerning a countermeasures program targeting "Nationalistic Tendency" related to Cuba. Visually, the page features several handwritten annotations, including a "NO ACTION NEC." stamp and a date of "10-5-70," suggesting a decision on the matter. There are also official stamps indicating "REC 8" and a date of "SEP 28 1970," along with what appears to be a routing or classification stamp with "INT. SEC." along the bottom right. Notably, a handwritten numerical code "105-107781" runs vertically along the right side of the page. The document itself is a standard "Memorandum" form with typed fields for "TO," "FROM," and "DATE," and a "SUBJECT" field filled in with the program details. 1102 San Juan, Puerto Rico -2- 4 Cointelpro Cuba Part 01 Final P 105-New CONFIDENTIAL If the Bureau authorizes the mailing of this letter, and if it is subsequently printed by the "Tampa Tribune," it is anticipated that this letter will arouse some reactions against the AMORs which will minimize particularly CRIS AMOR's pro-CASTRO and anti-U.S. activities in the future. To date, there has been little written response by the general public to the letters written by AMOR, however, during daily contacts with members of the Cuban element in the Tampa area, several refugees have expressed dismay that CRIS AMOR whom they believe to be a male individual can print such lies and get away with it. Many of the refugees have indicated a desire to write letters to the editor refuting the claims made by AMOR, however, they are afraid to do so for fear of jeopardizing their status as refugees. It is, therefore, felt that if the Bureau authorizes the sending of this letter and it is subsequently published, that it will initiate additional letters by other individuals who are pro-U.S. and anti-CASTRO. In view of AMOR's longtime pro-CASTRO and anti-U.S. stand and her recent literary activities, she would appear to warrant attention in connection with captioned program. It is to be noted that none of the information contained in this letter can be traced back to the FBI, nor will the disclosure of same result in the identification of any source. LEAD: TAMPA AT TAMPA, FLA, Will await reply from Bureau regarding above request and Bureau's comments concerning same would be appreciated. -2- (date inserted) Although I am not now a resident of Tampa, I have been able, through correspondence with a Tampan friend, to follow the recent letters to the editor written by Cris Amor on Cuba, praising Castro's government programs and criticizing the U.S. attitude toward them. I feel that it is my duty to inform the Tampa readers that although Cris's articles indicate she is definitely sympathetic toward Cuba, Cris Amor is more than just a Communist sympathizer. I have known Cris Amor for many years and I am acquainted with her activities because I, too, was once confused by Communist ideologies and was associated with Cris in these activities. And I believe that those who read her comments in this column should know that her comments are Communist inspired. I say these things many years and I am acquainted with her activities because I, too, was once confused by Communist ideologies and was associated with Cris in these activities. And I believe that those who read her comments in this column should know that her comments are Communist inspired. I say these things not to slander a person who now believes differently than I do, but because these things are true. Cris's association with Communists and Communist sympathizers began in the early 1960s. She helped to establish and became an energetic officer in the Tampa Chapter of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee. As active members, the Amors had many gatherings in their home in which the activities of Communist-controlled Cuba, China, and Russia were praised. These were attended by other Communist sympathizers. Cris has been outspoken in her support of Communist Cuba. In the early 1960s, when it was apparent that Castro's government was becoming more and more Communist, Cris defended Castro and told the world that he wasn't. When Castro finally admitted that he was a Communist and that he had been a Communist since his college days, Cris continued to support him claiming that Communism was best for the people. Since Castro's Communist takeover of Cuba, Cris has been active in the support of his regime by distributing Cuban propaganda in the Tampa area and by her leadership role in the Fair Play for Cuba Committee. Cris has also widely read the "Worker's World," a Communist-backed newspaper, and the "Daily World," another Communist newspaper which she gets from her husband, Manuel Amor, who himself is a card- carrying Communist. Cris Amor is not even a Cuban. She was born in Spain and lived only a few years in Cuba as a childbefore coming to the United States. She is now an elderly woman and has not returned to Cuba since her childhood. SEP 8 2070 105-99938-19 ENCLOSURE 7 The only information Cris has about Cuba is what she chooses to believe from what she reads. She definitely takes no stock in the stories of poverty, suffering, threats, and the fear for one's life that come from the thousands of Cuban refugees who have recently fled Cuba and come to the U.S. to find a new life. Cris's warped mind chooses only to believe the information she receives from her Communist literature and from her Communist associates who are telling her The image is a typed document with handwritten annotations. The document appears to be a letter or report. There is a handwritten note in the top right corner that says "(date inserted)". There is also a handwritten number in the bottom right corner that looks like "3". At the bottom center of the page, there is a handwritten number and what appears to be an official stamp. The number is "105-9938-20" and the stamp says "ENCLOSED". The text is all uppercase, indicating it could be a draft or a form submitted by a field agent. There are no photographs, clear diagrams, or explicit surveillance notes visible. The document is a typed letter with a handwritten annotation and stamp. The typed text consists of two lines of text at the top left followed by a salutation and a block of address information. A page number is centered near the bottom of the page, and a handwritten "4" is in the bottom right corner. There are several small dark marks scattered across the page, some of which may be ink blots or dust. Additionally, two hole punches are visible in the top margin of the page, likely from a binder. for one's life that come from the thousands of Cuban refugees who have recently fled Cuba and come to the U.S. to find a new life.

The document is a form with pre-printed fields for "TO," "FROM," and "SUBJECT," filled with text and handwritten notations. The "FROM" field contains a stamped identifier for "SAC TAMPA (105-New)" and a handwritten signature or initial. A large portion of the document is heavily redacted, obscuring what appears to be a photograph or intelligence report. There are also official stamps indicating classification and filing information. A handwritten note in the bottom right corner appears to be informal marginalia. The bottom of the page contains a solicitation for U.S. Savings Bonds printed on a form. The page appears to be a memo with a "CONFIDENTIAL" stamp at the top center. There are no photographs or explicit surveillance materials visible. Handwritten marginalia is sparse, with a single "6" in the bottom right corner. The document contains official stamps and codes, such as "TP 105-New". It is a typed document with headings like "LEAD:", and mentions "TAMPA" and "AT TAMPA, FLA." There is a page number "-2-" at the bottom.

Miami also asked to check with agencies and sources who conduct interviews with Cuban refugees entering the U.S. and it was determined that only a very small percentage of these Cuban refugees are interviewed and no record is made of data relating to hostage situations. Miami in checking found no logical avenue of approach to determine this information and it is felt that further inquiry along this line is not necessary.

On April 28, 1966, in Charge of the Processing Teams at Opa Locka, advised they do not solicit any such specific data, and, of course, only a very small percentage of Cuban refugees entering the United States are interviewed. Unless specific de- rogatory information exists beforehand, persons under 18 and over 50, are rarely interviewed at all.
