The nestcut the reference neco end attachr.cnt cencerrs the originator of the letter, General A. P. LOREHZEM. The Gcnero] is cne of three persons iiho approached the PAA ofricoa in Miami nnd. Herbert WIISOII, the PA* ra^nager in, was financingvolution in Gvaterals, The General's ccinptnlona wore D. D. MftRQUIS rnd Albort r. PARIOW, the latterell-known arms dealer in Kismi who has boon mixed up in supplying erips to PRIO Sooorron, the Caribbeand other Latin Anerican groups. Without knowing the contents cf the letter from LORHNZEK, which would necessarily govern any follow-up deception letters, lt is not possible to determine nt thisf his dabs could be used indeception operation.
If the intenteception operction would be to scprate the Embassy in Guat erffrom PBSUCCESS operations, it would be necessary to indicate some logical group which ostensibly is concerned with FBS0CCESS natters.did?tes which readily cone to nind are:
BARRIOS Pens
Miguel TTIGCRAE FUentes
SKETCH-type group of ndventurTs "ho hore to -roflt byoperation.
It is my understanding that thec directed ct shoiring that BARRIOS Pena IsBSCCCESS-typo novement. It is pretty veil accepted th-'t YDIGOIIAS Fuentos1 organisation is thoroughly penetrated, ond any deception program nt proving otherwise would consequently run the risk of being exposed by the foots themselves. This leaves (c) nbove as the onTy regaining possibility,since implicating ether Lstin Ancricon governments cculd lead to OAS complicrtions.
A logical group could be thogroup, whichor the dubious cthlca of ita members. However, their aouroe of any I'-rge amounts of notvy is questionable. One way of explaining some of their funds would be to use our present infers-tion about tha TAA7FE case to make it epnenr thrt the TAA1T* 's are in cahoots with DARLOW who is planning to use the "letter of credit" provided by the "dissident Gu-tenalan Aray group" to rid the DARLOW-supported group}AIJIGFRIS. This vculd at lea it substantiate the fact, well kn.wn tc the Gu^.tccnlnn Government the ugh its CALLIGERIS penetrations, thct soaeone isALT.IGTIIS. This is based on tho assunption that the persona attenpting to buy arms through the TAAPFE's are actuully financed by th' Gustcrelan Government.

The reasoning is thet ?ny reply by the Ambassadoretter dealing, however veiled, with PBSUCCESS aalters would be sent by hira through the pouch to. for aeilingormal precaution, regardless ofelations betwaens. and Guatemala, Even then it would of necessityormal answer stst.'ng that the letter hnd been referredhinglon.
