MIAMI -- (AP) -- An immigration agent at a federal espionage trial testified
 Thursday that accused spy Mariano Faget had secret clearance and that a review
 found he had access to 77 sensitive or classified files related to his work.

 William West, a supervisory special agent with the Immigration and Naturalization
 Service, also testified that Faget lied when he was recertified to handle classified
 information in 1998, by signing a document stating he had no foreign property,
 business connections or financial interests.

 A former supervisor with the INS, Faget, 54, is charged with violating the U.S.
 Espionage Act by revealing classified information and lying about contacts with
 Cuban officials. Prosecutors say he passed information on to a friend 12 minutes
 after being set up and given the information in an FBI sting.

 West testified that a review of the material Faget had access to found 57 sensitive
 files, and 20 other classified files in a records vault; 15 of those involved Cubans.

 Faget is not charged with compromising any of the files, although West said a
 ``threat assessment'' is ongoing.

 Also Thursday, jurors watched a shaky, silent FBI surveillance video that showed
 Faget meeting with a top Cuban diplomat in a Miami hotel lobby, and a leather
 briefcase, seized at Faget's home, was introduced into evidence.

 In the video, shot Oct. 27 by FBI specialist John Victoravich, Faget and Jose
 Imperatori sit in at a small table in a lobby. Faget, then the acting district deputy
 director at the U.S. Immigration office in Miami, can be seen talking and gesturing
 as Imperatori nods his head.

 Victoravich said their meeting lasted about two hours, although he only captured
 a few moments on camera.

 ``To obtain photographic evidence of the two of them together was our objective,
 and that's what I did,'' Victoravich said.

 The FBI did not have court authorization to use listening devices at the time,
 Victoravich told prosecutor Curtis Miner, so the video is silent.

 Victoravich had described the area in the lobby as ``secluded,'' which defense
 attorney Edward O'Donnell questioned during cross examination. He made the
 point that the two men could have met in more private place, such as a room
 inside the hotel.

 Imperatori, a diplomat at the Cuban Interests Section in Washington, was later
 expelled by the U.S. government, suspected of being a Cuban intelligence agent.

 The briefcase contained documents dating to 1993, many relating to America
 Cuba Inc., the company Faget shared with New York businessman Pedro Font
 and at least three partners, FBI agent Albert Alonso testified.

 Font, a lawful resident alien and citizen of Cuba, is described by O'Donnell as a
 longtime friend of the Faget family.

 Among the papers was a 1998 letter to Faget, from Fernando Remirez, head of
 the Cuban Interests Section in Washington. In it, Remirez thanked Faget for
 sharing time with him at Font's home. He described Font as a ``mutual friend,''
 and alluded to business opportunities in Cuba.

 Remirez's letter referred to a 1998 meeting held at Font's Greenwich, Conn.
 home, attended by the partners of America Cuba, Inc, including Faget, a
 representative of Procter & Gamble, and members of the Cuban Interests Section.

 A state department official testified Wednesday that Imperatori and Molina had
 lied on their travel documents for that trip, about whether or not they would be
 meeting with any federal official. It was stipulated in court that Faget's name and
 position with the INS was included on a list of people who would attend the
 meeting.

 Also in the briefcase:

 -- A 1996 document announcing the appointment of Faget as a vice president of
 America Cuba Inc.

 -- Copies of four checks made out to the company, totalling $125,000. One from
 Font was for $68,750, three smaller checks for $18,750 were signed by other
 partners.

 -- A letter of intent from Procter & Gamble, agreeing to make America Cuba Inc.
 its representative in Cuba, should U.S. law ever permit business with the island.

 -- An 1994, letter to Font from Faget, recommending a Cuban-American attorney
 who is comfortable working in Cuba, and referring to travel to Cuba through a third
 country.
