Definition:
Evalena S. Vidal. A cable in April, 1963, stated that Henry P. Rebholtz was the FORDC PW Case Officer. In addition, a PRQ Part II on AMRAZZ-1 (Joaquin Godoy y Solis), in May, 1963, stated that Rebholtz was one of his case officers and was known to him as "Mr. Bell."

Discussion:
104-10183-10372: Henry Rebholtz was the current case officer for AMICE-14, a FORDC stalwart. The two officers working with AMICE-14 had been "Roger Fox" (Ross Crozier) and Frank aka Clayton Farshtey (Cal Hicks). It is not one of them, because the PRQ says Subject has not yet met Rebholtz. So Rebhotz was PW, working with FORDC, and not Hicks or Crozier. That would narrow it down to pretty much Joannides and Caponong - PW was a small unit - since AMICE-14 had not met Rebholtz, it may be because Rebholtz is a woman?

104-10260-10231: Rebholtz is the FORDC case officer, and his name is a pseudonym.

See the 11/15/62 post: Sent by Rebholtz to Chief PW, Kent/Trouchard - ABC/Vidal provides the commentary on the routing sheet. She looks like Rebholtz to me. The handwriting on a number of related documents looks like her distinctive handwriting.

104-10236-10242: ROUTING AND RECORD SHEET: DENUNCIA

11/15/62, Memorandum from Henry P. Rebholtz to Chief, PW: Subject: Suggested Indirect Action Against Denuncia: "1. The attached reports from AMCLATTER/1 indicate that Pedro Leyva, allegedly a paid employee of AMBUD, is the brains behind an anti-Batista publication named Denuncia, and that AMBUD/1 took the trouble to state to AMCLATTER/1 that he, AMBUD/1, had nothing to do with the paper. 2. AMBUD/1's concern on the matter may have stemmed from the fact that on page 8 of the 17 October issue of Denuncia there was an article which exposed Macho Barquer/Bernard Barker/AMCLATTER-1 and Joaquin Sanjenis/AMOT-2 as agents of the CIA. 3. Concerned case officers in PW and FI Sections, as well as Chief PM, who is perturbed about the mention in the same paragraph of Manuel Villafana/LITAINT-1, feel that if it can be ascertained that an employee of AMBUD is connected with Denuncia, his pay should be terminated summarily as an example to anyone else who might decide that such activity will be countenanced by ODYOKE (U.S. Government). 4. It is suggested, therefore, that the matter be taken up with AMBUD/1 soonest, and that a thorough examination be made by AMBUD of the alleged extra-circular activities of Leyva, and if results confirm suspicions, his services be terminated."
