In addition, Nisley reported to Winston Scott, Chief of Station (COS), Mexico City, in July of 1962, on a suspected Polish intelligence agent, who stayed close to the LINLUCK (Carlos Manuel Pellecer) safehouse.

Also, Douglas C. Nisley was a Reporting Officer at JMWAVE in 1962 and 1963.

In a dispatch in July of 1964, AMFAUNA-1 (David Cabeza Coupau) told Nisley that he was involved with a group who wanted to assassinate Cuban leader, Fidel Castro.
