MF note - LITAMIL-9 is Luis Alberu Soeto, Cuban Cultural Attache in Mexico City, working as a double-agent for the CIA. According to one CIA document, LITAMIL-9 made photo identifications for the LIONION surveillance project. John Newman mistakenly identified Alberu as LIRING-3 in ''Oswald and the CIA''.
LITAMIL-9 is mentioned on page 13 of the below linked Bill Simpich article, Wiretapping in Mexico City, Double Agents, and the Framing of Lee Oswald. Notes Simpich

"The CIA's Mexico City station was always looking for Cubans who were willing to defect in place. The CIA's Cuban operations were known as LITAMIL. The LITAMIL network was spread out throughout Mexico and Central America, with at least two informants inside the Cuban embassy in Mexico City during 1963. This network was created by a Mexico City station officer during the 1959-1960 period.
..The most important informant of all was LITAMIL-9, better known as Luis Alberu, a cultural attaché at the Cuban embassy. Bill Harvey himself was confident that Alberu was sufficiently anti-Communist. In 1962, Alberu was developed as an agent by Harvey's people at Task Force W as part of its anti-Castro operation, project JMATE. This was standard operating procedure there was a contingent of officers from Headquarter's Cuban division inside the Mexico City station. Alberu had contacts with the Spanish Communists in Mexico. He was later shared with the Mexico City station. As LITAMIL-9, Alberu was the principal agent used to identify faces in surveillance photos taken at the Cuban embassy between 1962 and 1965. In 1963, he knew everybody.
Alberu was used for a variety of other tasks during the Summer of 1963. Station officer Bob Shaw scheduled regular meetings in his car to meet with Alberu and discuss what was going on inside the embassy. Shaw would give Alberu batches of photos and ask him to identify who was depicted in them. Shaw testified that penetrations of the Cuban government were his central task in Mexico City."

MF note - Ricardo Vidal Dominguez [LITAMIL-3] was an informant within the Cuban diplomatic corps who tried to convince consul Eusebio Azcue to defect during September 1963. He himself had a history as consul in the Cuban embassy in Mexico City, 1959-1961.

Note contact known as LITAMIL-3 - Ricardo Vidal Dominguez - was left un-redacted in original document at the Mary Ferrell site, and the final page of that censored still mentions LITAMIL-7 [Perez] and LITAMIL-8 [LITAMIL-8 was Luis Echeverria Alvarez, the acting secretary of Gobernacion in 1963; the Mexican Interior Minister in 1964; President from 1970-76; and the liaison contact with the Mexico City station during chief Win Scott's tenure.] LITAMIL-7, Consuelo Perez, was a secretary at the Cuban Embassy, and received operational approval as an agent of Task Force W, Mexico City during 1962-1963.

"AMCLATTER-8 told AMCLATTER-4 on 28 June 1960 that he had learned through an informant in the Prime Minister's office that the police are investigating the activities of a North American known as "Pauli".
This appears to be an obvious reference to William Pauley of Miami."
Following all that, it looks like the folk at The Black Vault have uploaded all the documents in clickable form. That's linked here -

I'll probably still put some up on Scribd but this takes a load off, obviously. It also occurred to me this morning that the Mary Ferrell site will also likely upload them in the near future. Time to read what's here.
Okay - a very problematic and annoying redaction.
