# DISPATCHTO Chief, WHFROM Chief of Station, JMWAVESUBJECT TYPIC, Operational/AMWORLD/ANLILACSReport on AMBIDDY-1ACTION REQUIRED - FYIREFERENCE - None1. In late July 1965 members of the AMLILAC Group re- ported the following information as a result of their contacts with various members of AMYUM located in the JMWAVE area.A. AMBIDDY-1 has a warehouse in the WAVE area in which he is storing equipment brought back from his Central American base. The equipment includes UDT gear, boat motors, rafts, uniforms, and bulldozers. There are no weapons in the building.B. AMBIDDY-1 is planning to put the BABUN PC into proper condition for use as a Mother Vessel. The vessel is now in Tampa. AMBIDDY-1 spent over $10,000, on this ship last year.C. AMLILAC-8, a former AMLILAC who was fired a couple of years ago and who has been with AMBIDDY-1's group since then, was in the local area recently and told AMLILAC-6 that A-8 was the caretaker at one of the Bases in Central America along with 9 other men. He stated that they had all the weapons from the last effort and were preparing the camp for re-activation. AMBIDDY-1 told A-8 that $500,000, was available for the reactivation.2. The penchant of PBRUMEN exiles for exaggeration, embellishmonts, and contortion of information (as can be seen from para 1 B, and C) continues to plague the remnants of ANWORLD and as a consequence gives rise to jealous fears on the part of the AMLILAC Group particularly as to the real state of ANWORLD. Such reports as those above and others when![DESENSITIZED stamp]

As Headquarters is avare the great fear of the AMLILACS is that AMBIDDY-1 will get all the action and all the glory. However, in view of the current KUBARK/AMBIDIT-1 relationship the AMLILACs have little to fear and a renewed morale crisis is not expected to arise. On the other hand, if AMBIDDT-1 were to re-activate part of his action force and conduct a raid utilizing non-KUBARK support, that would be another matter. It would then be very difficult to convince the ANLILACs that KUBARX was not involved and their morale and confidence would be badly shaken. This situation is brought to your attention simply to show what effect such AMBIDDY-1 activities would have on this Station's painstaking efforts to retain a superior and experienced commando capability under already difficult psychological conditions.![signature]Philip G.

Juan Jose PERUYERO Rodrigues (201-294249), President of the Bay of Pigs Veterans Association, Alberto MARTINEZ Echenique (201-290790) and Ruben GONZALEZ de la Heria, are making overtures to buy arms from ANBIDDY-1. The Association's Directorate, and the membership-at-large, have not yet been told officially of this contemplated deal.b. ESIRE-1 felt this information was partially confirmed by the following comment made to him by Luis Humberto VIDANA Guasch (201-274685) in a conversation: "What do you think that ANBIDDY-1 has been reduced to doing? He now wants to sell the arms he has left over from all that business he was mixed up in ... and to think that a person like him is receiving aid."c. ESIRE-1 thinks it possible that the BABUN brothers may be the persons financing PERUYERO in the purchase of the AMWORLD arms. ESIRE-1 commented that PERUYERO would not dare tell him about buying any AMWORLD arms as he knows that ESIRE-1 would be opposed to such negotiations on the grounds that this would be immoral.2. Previous reporting on AMWORLD/AMBIDDY-1 activities has indicated, as in Reference A, that ANBIDDY-1 was interested in buying for arms and ammunition.Distribution:3 - C/WH201-267437DATE TYPED: 9 August 65DISPATCH SYMBOL AND NUMBER: UFGA-22709HEADQUARTERS FILE NUMBER: 9-132-5-06CLASSIFICATION: SECRET

BORGES told SOSA: "Be ready to go back to the place where you were lefore, because you will have to leave for there in the first four or five days of August. AMWORLD will function in the same manner as previously, but with more independence." BORGES also commented to SOSA that AMBIDDY-1 is the current cwner of the Vizcaya Restaurant at 142 S.W. 37th Avenue."Philip G. ELMARD

CRIREX was informed that CRIREX had a poor opinion of CRIREX regarding him as an opportunist whose actions sacrifice, ostensibly on behalf of the Bolivian Junta and specifically PAREDEMOS, combined with may covert relationship with CUI CJUS escala, if discovered and exploited by Leftists in Bolivia, have an adverse effect on the extremely delicate political situation in Bolivia. As a result, Headquarters was informed that HUMAK would not at this time be in favor of coordinating any operational use of Subject which CRIREX might propose.2. For Lima: CRIREX said that its initial notification to HUMAK concerning Subject being run by an CRIREX detachment at Lima was in error.3. For HR7658: CRIREX evidently has some sort of contact with Subject in the JODWYN area where his file had to be segregated from their control arrangements before the 19 July meeting could be held.

# DISPATCHTO: Chief, WHINFO:FROM: Chief of Station, JKWAVESUBJECT: Operational/TYPIC/AMOT/ANWORLD Charges Against KUBARK in the Death of Roberto TRUJILLO Rodrigues.ACTION REQUIRED REFERENCES: Action Required: For Your Information.1. On 11 August 1965, ANTAUP-2, accompanied by Dr. Luis CASAS Martinez, former provincial commissioner of Camaguey, held a conversation with ANTAUP-1 in which he learned the information given below. This information was reported in AMOT Report DD-1563, 13 August 1965.2. According to ANTAUP-1, Alicia TUDELA Sanches is planning to bring up again the case of the the death of her husband, Roberto TRUJILLO Rodrigues, who died in the AMWORLD training camps which were under the direction of AMBIDDY-1. According to ANTAUP-1, TUDELA plans to blame KUBARK for the death of her husband. TUDELA claims details of her husband's death which she has in her possession will substantiate this accusation.3. ANTAUP-1 also says that TUDELA is preparing to make an attempt on the life of AMBIDDY-1. She is receiving information from persons close to AMBIDDY-1 on all AMBIDDY-1's movements and is looking for a silencer to put on the gun she will use in this attack. ANTAUP-1 resorts that he has attempted to calm TUDELA down and is trying to persuade her to give up the idea of attacking AMBIDDY-1.4. ANTAUP-2 commented that ANTAUP-1 boasts that he is the one who obtained the information and proof against AMWORLD and KUBARK in the death of TRUJILLO and that he has this proof in his possession. ANTAUP-3 believes that it was ANTAUP-1 who steered TUDELA's accusations from AMWORLD towards KUBARK.escy filed 201-743522Distribution: 3 - UE/CPhilip G.

# DISPATCHChief of Station, JALAVESECRETChief, WH DivisionTYPIC/Operational/ANWORLD/ANLILACReport on AMBIDDY-1ACTION: At WAVE's discretion, pass para 5 to ANLILACS.REF: UPGA 22667, 10 August 19651. As you know, the HQS AMWORLD case officer recently visited the WAVE area and went to the warehouse with ANJAVA-4 and his wife, described as a possible purchaser of some of the equipment. The warehouse is full of moldy and rusting camp and support equipment, most of it of no use in mounting raiding operations. There are outboard motors, small generators, engine spare parts, air drop equipment, bedding, etc. in addition to a large pen of baby chicks purchased by AMBIDDY-1 in his latest venture of training for rural civic development programs in Central America. There was one custodian working around the warehouse and taking care of the chickens. AMBIDDY-1 has also purchased an off-set printing press, for $10,000 according to his, which is set up a few blocks away. He plans to use it to print the ANYUM magazine, plus hopefully making some profit for AMYUM from it on commercial printing jobs.2. AMJAVA-4 and AMBIDDY-1 both laughed heartily at the idea that the PC of BABUN could be converted to a mothership. This was considered and rejected several months ago when AMWORLD was still authorized to operate. They turned down the offer of the ship as a gift then on grounds that it would be uneconomical even if given to them free of charge..3. AMBIDDY-1 said he did have a total of ten men in Nicaragua; five at Monkey Point guarding a cache of small arms and teaching the local Indians to read, write and grow rice; three men at Bluefields guarding a cache of small arms and working to develop a small boat yard for repair and maintenance of shrimp boats from which AMBIDDY-1 hopes to build a fishing cooperative; and two men at Managua with a smaller cache of small arms, one of whom is the AMYUM delegate to the Nicaraguan Government. AMBIDDY-1 kept about 150 small arms, with the knowledge and consent of HQS, in return for his giving back: or accounting for the heavier and crew-served weapons and most of the small arms from AMWORLD. He claims that all three caches in Nicaragua are in concrete underground locations which are rigged- continued -

AMBILLT-1 said hehad seither plans nor money to reactivate any bases, except as they might be used for local civic action type programs.4. AMBIDDY-1 vas advised by his case officer in strongest terms to sell or throw away ever, thing from the Central American canps, to concentrate on trying to project a new image of hinself as a constructive and progressive leader involved in community development and civic action type programs in Latin America by invitation of the local governments, and to stop talking or acting as a paramilitary operator. He vas advised in eves stronger terms to get out of the DAVE area as soon as possible to remove himself as a target of constant personal attacks against which he could not defend himself. He agreed in principle, subject to waiting three months for his wife to deliver their first child.5. WAVE may assure the ANLILAC leader that, to the best knowledge of KUBARK, the AMWORLD program is dead, that AMBIDDY-1 has no real intention and only limited capability of mounting raids, and that anything he might do along the lines of paramilitary action would certainly be without ODYOKK support or blessing given the present political climate in 808 area.6. FYI, HQ8 continues to try to influence AMBIDDY-1 to stay out of paramilitary matters entirely. To this end, we shall try to keep his top operational personnel otherwise occupied in KUBARK or other employment, to keep him as fully and usefully occupied as possible away from the WAVZ and PBRUMEN area, and to convince hin to sell or lease his two Swift boats to commercial enterprises or to another KUBARK program outside the WAVE area.7. Që will welcome continued reporting on AMBIDDY-1°'s activities from WAVE sources, which serves a useful purpose as a check and monitor for the case officer to compare and contrast with AMBIDDY-1's reports to him. In addition, we are recruiting the former AMWORLD Deputy for Support and Administration, who also serves as legal and political advisor to AMBIDDY-1. He is now residing in the HQS area, is back on the staff of a large university and has agreed to assist in keeping AMBIDDY-1 on the straight and narrow path following the lines of paragraphs 4 and 6 above.Distributies:3-COS, JAHANEERNEST A.

SEGUET26 August 1965MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORDFROM : AMBIDDY/1 - 23 August 1965SUBJECT: AMBIDDY/1 discussions with General Anastasio SOMOZA, President SCHICK and other Nicaraguan officials, 24 Jul-20 Aug 1965.1. A/1 first met with General SOMOZA 27/28 July. The following points were made in these discussions:a. General SOMOZA said the State Department is making an investigation of how much money he is using to control the government and win the next presidential elections. SOMOZA told A/l that he intended to run and fully expected to win the election, but would not need to buy any votes. He asked A/1 to please tell "Washington" that State is very clumsy and if they really want to know anything they should call on the Agency, or the FBI, either of which is much more effective. SOMOZA said everybody in Managua knows about State's efforts to block his candidacy and are laughing at them.b. SOMOZA said he was meeting Daniel ODUBER of Costa Rica at the border shortly, and they would make a "non- aggression pact" agreeing that neither will make trouble for the other's campaign for election to Presidency. ODUBER had asked for the interview. SOMOZA told A/l that he thought ODUBER had made a "live and let live" agreement with the Com- munists, and that at their meeting, he would demand from ODUBER a public denunciation of the Communists to be followed by effective control measures.against them.c. The MRR will be allowed to build and operate a mall boatyard for construction, maintenance and repair of shrimp boats at Bluefields without SOMOZA or the Nicaraguan Government to be cut into the proceeds. This is part of A/l's community development progrem, simed at developing a large fishing cooperative based on Bluefields which will be self- sustaining and profitable for the members and the local economy. SOMOZA also approved continuation of the basic education program being conducted by All's five man contingent at the old Monkey Point base and eventual development of that area as a rice- growing cooperative for the benefit of the local Indians.SECRET

-2-d. General SOMOZA, at A/l's strong recommendation, agreed to start pushing Civic Action programs through the National Guard in an effort to enhance his personal image preparatory to the next Presidential campaign. SOMOZA asked A/1 to assist and advise in this effort.2. The next meeting with General SOMOZA by A/1 was on 4 August, with following points:a. SOMOZA said that the latest program of Fidel CASTRO is targetted against Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. Pars of the plan includes assassination of the presidents of the three countries as part of a terror campaign to soften them up. He said that in Panama, particularly, President Marcos ROBLES is a prime target but the Communists are exploiting a recent turn against him by the National Guard because he has cut down on their costs, pensions, and other privileges. If ROBLES is eliminated from power, the Communists feel the chief of the National Guard will take over and they thinking they can handle him more easily than they can ROBLES.b. Source for above, according to SOMOZA, was a close associate of Marcial AGUILUZ, whom he described as the top Communist in Costa Rica and one who had recruited (fnu) FONSECA, a Nicaraguan now living in Mexico. FONSECA is a bastard son of one of SOMOZA's foremen, a Communist, ard an agent working directly under order of Fidel CASTRO.c. A/1 and SOMOZA talked again about a Civic Action program in Nicaragua and SOMOZA said again that he would support it. He will assign Father LUGO, a Cuban priest who served with the Bay of Pigs forces, to a position similar to a chaplain in the National Guard in order to assist in the program. SOMOZA will support MRR community development programs with whatever authorizations are required and with whatever official or personal prestige he may offer.3. A/1 next returned to Managua on 17 August and met with Major PEREZ of the Nicaraguan Customs Service, a personal aide to the Ceneral. PEREZ said SOMOZA was very angry (not at A/1 or his people) and difficult to see. He said 3 Colonels were under Arrest for 3 days each for disobeying orders. PEREZ was afraid to nee SOMOZA for fear he might be arrested also. However, A/1 called SOMOZA by phone and was invited to visit him next day at Tipitapa. A/1 met him the next day (18 Aug) and had lunch with SOMOZA and (fnu) BENITEZ, a Puerto Rican, former politician there who is now in business but remains in contact with and working for the U. S. Covernment. After lunch, BENITEZ leftSECRET
