Cryptonym: IUSTEER
See 124-90100-10313: Fausto Ignacio Gomez Gomez, Cuban pilot and political refugee in 1959 associated with Joseph Merola and Antonio Zembrana.
However, it also appears that Fausto Ignacio Gomez died in combat in the Havana plains, according to https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=es&u=https://fliphtml5.com/ukiq/dwvr/basic&prev=search&pto=aue
However, news articles say that he died in combat in the Congo in early 1965: The Bridgeport Post from Bridgeport, Connecticut on January ...www.newspapers.com › newspage (AP)- Fausto Ignacio Gomez, a Cuban exile volunteer aviator, was killed in combat against rebel forces in the Congo, his widow said yesterday.
Maybe neither of these stories are true. Or maybe IUSTEER was another family member.
IUSTEER is used as a slugline. The person is often referred to as IUSTEER-1.
104-10221-10020: CONTACT REPORT-WESTWARD HO RESTAURANT TO DISCUSS ROBERTO DE CARDENAS.
1960-72: ...The names of Barker and Fiorini are written down, as well as possibly "SNAP“ (Martinez's crypt) and "HARBOR" (?). The document is marked 201-283488 - it is probably IUSTEER's 201 number. In 1960, IUSTEER was visiting the home of Frank Fiorini aka Frank Sturgis when Roberto de Cardenas dropped in. Pedro Diaz Lanz was also there that day. At this meeting, Cardenas told IUSTEER to visit a home on Brickell Avenue. IUSTEER did so and met Manuel Artime for the first time. In 1965, the Agency sent Cardenas to serve under IUSTEER in the Congo. 1972: Roberto de Cardenas is suddenly affluent. IUSTEER-1 believes he may be dealing drugs. See Whitehouse's cirriculum vitae - at Reel 18, Folder E - WHITEHOUSE INSUA, EDUARDO JULIUS, page 24 of 31. 201-300614. NARA Record Number: 1994.03.18.10:00:33:560005
Circa 1964-65. This list of WITHRUSH members shows that 201-283488 may be Fausto Gomez Gomez. He is clearly C number 84863. It is difficult to read, it could be 201-283486 for Gomez, which would mean that it is incorrect. There is another neighboring number: Either Mario or Francisco Ginebra Groero Perez (they were brothers) is 201-283485 - it could be 201-283488. Another version of this document is here: https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=55498#relPageId=16&tab=page Francisco Perez Gomez was a member of Cuban Military Action (AMC) https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=77005&search=%22francisco_perez%22#relPageId=164&tab=page Also see neighboring document 104-10220-10089 - which again lists Gomez Gomez, with what looks like 8 as the last digit - another indication that 201-283488 is Fausto Ignacio Gomez Gomez.

Circa 1964-65. Many photos. Fausto Gomez Gomez is identified here; one photo gives the alternate name of "Felo Bemba". Photo of Roberto de Cardenas and Jorge Navarro together. Also identified are Mario (and Francisco) Ginebra Groero Perez and Fausto Gomez Gomez. 124-90150-10172: Gomez may be identical with the 1959 Cuban hijacker Antulio Ramirez Ortiz!

104-10163-10087 CIA FILE ON BUESA, MANUEL ARTIME.
2/10/69 memo: AMTABBY-27 identified as an "executive pilot" with the IRD (Interrogation Research Division) number of C-87513. The 201 number for AMTABBY-27 is probably 201-287180, but possibly 201-323565 or even something else entirely. 104-10220-10088: 201-287180 is identified as "Garcia Pujol", but his C-number is something like C-86568. It is possible that IUSTEER is the "business partner" of AMTABBY-27, in one possible interpretation of the document. It also indicates that ERLOOP-1 may be another business partner of IUSTEER.
104-10221-10021: MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD: IUSTEER-1 - ANTHONY ABRAHAM CHEVROLET, MIAMI
06/30/72: MFR from Peter S. Jasutis: ..."IUSTEER-1 noted that the Chief of Latin American Sales (?) of this firm, Manuel Villamanan, is very much up-to-date on Cuban exile matters. IUSTEER-1 commented that he ran into Villamanan/AMFAUNA-13 recently and they engaged in a conversation about the Washington Break-In Scandal. IUSTEER-1 found Villamanan very sympathetic to Barker (one of the individuals involved) and IUSTEER-1 felt he hurt Villamanan's feelings when he (IUSTEER-1) was critical of the affair). 06/30/72, memo for the record from Peter J. Jasutis ..."Also employed as a salesman at this firm is Alberto Beguiristain (AMANCHOR-1) who was at one time associated with Eugenio Martinez (of the Washington Break-in affair) in the capacity of a frogman for the Agency under the cover firm (REDACTION). Chief of Security for Anthony Abraham Chevrolet is Tony Iglesias, identified by IUSTEER-1 as the military chief for the Torriente Group."
104-10215-10006: SOURCE ADVISED HE SPOKE WITH JOSE PELLON WHO MAKES HIS LIVING AS A PILOT
1972, slugline TYPIC AKULE IUSTEER: Pilot Jose Pellon told IUSTEER he was approached by pilot Jose Manuel Hernandez and asked if he needed work. The bio file number 201-283488 doesn't belong to any of the named parties, by default it must belong to IUSTEER.
