Secret Service cryptonym

Bill Finch – one of the CIA officers that had earned Aragon’s trust – told the FBI he was “unable to state” if CIA had an operational interest in Radio Libertad.  In an Aragon and Marshall memo, we see “3–11–14” as stating “they do not know at the Miami level whether they are supporting Radio Libertad”.  This comparison unlocks one of the secrets of the documents.  CIA officer Bill Finch was Secret Service source 3–11–14.

Manuel Orcarberro Rodriguez is DL 282-S.
This FBI memo says “his identity is known to the Bureau, BUFILE 105-131,209), was in a top leadership position in Alpha 66…(met at Jorge Salzar’s house) at 3126 Harlandale.”
The title of BUFILE 105-131209 is “Manuel Orcarberro Rodriguez.” This is the very first serial.
