15. UFGA 7428, 31 January 1963, contains information obtained by JMWAVE regarding Subject and indicated him to be emotionally unstable, eccentric, and generally reputed to be something of a nut. We are inclined to agree with this information in so far as Subject's economical theory is concerned. During his stay of almost one year as an asylee in the Argentine Embassy in Habana, Subject spent the copious spare time available to him writing an economic treatise. On our meeting with Subject on May 4th, Subject provided us with a handwritten short summary of this document. According to this summary, Subject has been attempting to correlate economic cycles with peaks of sunspot activity. He backs up his "economic arguments" with reference to the Old Testament and the Aztec Calendar. If Subject has been expounding this theory in public we are not surprised that he is considered somewhat of a nut. It should be noted, however, that many otherwise sane and useful people believe in horoscopes and other similar superstitions. We do not feel that this quirk in his personality must necessarily be considered derogatory in terms of his possible operational exploitation by KUJARK. Although we have spent less than ten hours with Subject, our impression is that he is a rational individual in terms of his attitude towards and relationships with other individuals and personalities around him. As a matter of fact, we obtained the impression that Subject possesses more than his fair share of what is sometimes termed "common sense." The handwritten summary of Subject's economic theory as pertaining to sunspots is appended to this memorandum as attachment.
