- In 1961 she was recruited by the CIA. They communicated with her by shortwave radio. She agreed to do anything except harm her brothers. Among other missions, she smuggled messages and cash into Cuba from Mexico. She refused to accept payment for her services.
- Now I am away from Cuba, and I am dedicated to Fidel's - my own brother's - overthrow and, God forgive me, to his destruction. Cuba, my country, must be freed of his tyranny.
