5/6/69 memo from Chief of WH Division to Chief, Mexico City and another chief whose division is redacted, re Jose Alberto Cardoza Aguilar - with the handwritten notation JMTEAK: "Attached...is a Guatemalan Personality Report (GPR) for Jose Alberto Cardoza Aguilar (201-042366). The GPR covers his activities up to March 25, 1968..." page 96: 201-023466 is given on his GPR, rather than 201-042366. Is this a typo? Or some kind of game?

Page 112: "As of October 18, 1968, he and Jose Luis Balcarcel Ordonez are handling travel of Guatemalans to the USSR..." Pages 133-134: Their USSR liaison in 1968 was Nikolai Leonov. The intelligence officers who received this information: Thomas L. Hughes for State; General Carroll for DIA; General McChristian for ACSI; Admiral Harlfinger for Navy ACNO (Intel); General Thomas for Air Force AFSIN; General Carter for NSA; and Sam Papich for FBI.
