# ANWORLD Meeting in New York, 6 October 1964SUBJECT: ANWORID Contingency Plans1. ANJAVA-4 said that AMBIDDY-1 was very enthusiastic about the AMEIJEIRAS operation and felt this was the real key to success of our program to overthrow the Castro regime. He is prepared to concentrate on this operation completely for the immediate future.2. I asked A-4 if they had done any planning on the basis that the AMEIJEIRAS operation might not pan out. Be asked me directly whether a decision had been made to continue or to cut off support to AMWORLD. I told him that a decision had not been made but that my Headquarters vas very interested in the outcome of the AMEIJEIRAS operation on which he was working. He recognized the isportance of this operation and stated that he and A-1 had conjectured that future support to AMWORLD might be contingent on success or failure of their handling of that case. I did not confirm or deny this point but told his that the organisation would surely be happy if they were able to handle it with success.3. A-4 then explained that he and A-1 had spent considerable time discussing the future of their progran and their prospects vis a vis the Agency. He said that in their opinion one of two things would happen; either the AMEIJEIRAS operation would pay off in which case they would be able to continue to operate with Agency support but with a diversion of major objectives or the operation would peter out, in which case they would have to consider what to do without Agency support. He said that A-1 was not only prepared to accept e diversion of primary objective but felt that present circumstances dictated the wisdom of such a move. However, both of them feel that their present paramilitary program must be continued, not because it is crucial to the outcome of the Cuban situation, but because the strength which they exhibit through these operations is the only attraction to AMWORLD that has caused the AMEIJEIRAS group to contact thom.
[104-10163-10173.pdf — page 225]
4. In case the AMEIJEIRAS operation fails to develop, and the Agency should decide to cut off support to AMWORLD, A-4 says they will continue to try to operate as long as they can. He said that instead of 200 people they might be operating with 20, but they could do something. So long as they have the hardware with which to operate they can "sell" operations each time. For example, he said, they would go to Cuban exiles, to Venezuela, to American businessmen, etc. and would tell them, "The October operation will cost $25,000. If you will underwrite it we will dedicate it to you and run it in your name." He feels this would carry them for a few months provided they can run a few successful operations.5. A-4 said that when the support ran out the hardware vas all gone, and there was nothing left with which to operate, A-1 would take 12 or 15 of his hard core followers and go into the Escambray in Las Villas to make one last ditch effort. I asked him if A-1 felt he would have any chance of a success and A-4 stated that should such a state come to pass, A-l would definitely go in with the expectation of being run down eventually and shot but that he would do this in order to go out in a blaze of glory and to continue to serve as a martyr. A-4 said there was absolutely no doubt in his mind that A-1 would follow this course, that he had a hero compulsion and a martyr complex and was completely without fear of death. A-4 again mentioned an idea held by A-l that he will not live past 29 January 1965 (his birthday) because he is convinced that he is destined to reach the peak moment of his life during his 33rd year (as did Jesus Christ) and does not expect to live beyond that time.6. I asked A-4 where he, personally, stood in such a future undertaking. He said that he was no hero but he had dedicated seven years of his life as a schoolboy and young man to Cuban independence, and he could not stop now. He would not go in deliberately to die as a martyr, but he would continue with his work doing the best he could with whatever means he could come by. He stated, "A-l is not such a leader as Tony VARONA who can separate himself completely from the struggle and go out to sell used cars. A-1 cannot exist in a life which is routine and without personal power. He will die first even in a suicidal mission." A-4 stated thatSECRET
[104-10163-10173.pdf — page 226]
-3-he, himself, was of a different nature but that it would be just as impossible for him to go to a routine type of work and leave the work of liberation of his country.7. I asked A-4 what ANWORLD would do if they were able to commence operations again. He said they had two targets on the north coast test they would like to hit when they have another chance. One is Puerto Vita, the other is Manati. They have target studies on Puerto Vita and have Just recruited a refugee from Hanati who knows the area thoroughly and brought out a large number of photographs of the target with him from Cuba. Unfortunately some of then were confiscated by U. S. Customs when he came through Niani, but there were still enough remaining to plan an operation. He asked if we might be able to help recover the confiscated photos. I told him that if approval to recommence operations vas given, I was sure we could do so. In the seantine, I was, of course, not authorized to discuss possible future operations but/interested in what AMWORLD was thinking along these lines. A-4 understood our position with the current suspension of operations.Carl E. JenkinsTR/BA/80/HEFile:AMBIDDY-1 - 201Internal opsAMJAVA-4- 201Policy

As to A-l's future plans he intends to leave for Central America on Tuesday or Wednesday, 3 or 4 November. ANJAVA-4 is leaving for Nicaragua on 2 November.3.  AMBIDDY-1 is sending Rafael Garcia, Luis Grillo, and Amado Cantillo to the Dominican Republic to survey the new location which President Reid has offered AMWORLD. According to A-1 Reid has offered them an cperations base much closer to Cuba than Isla de Beata. At present A-1 is getting cost estimates on the 12 Swifts which President Reid wishes to buy in the U. S. The different estimates will be sent to President Bold with the three aforementioned AMWORLDers. According to A-1 President Reid suggested that AMWORLD could paint their Swifts the same colors as the ones which the Dominicans will have.4.

# SECRET3 November 1964MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORDSUBJECT: Telephone Conversation Between AMBIDDY-1and Martin FerrerDATE : 2 November 1964, 2100 hours1. AMBIDDY-1 stated that he, AMWORLD-2 and John Monahan met some wealthy, American businessmen on 1 November. One of the Americans was the President of the American Medical Association in Miami who promised AMWORLD medical supplies. A-1 mentioned that John Monahan spoke eloquently before the group on behalf of AMWORLD. The undersigned mentioned to A-1 that unlike Cuban businessmen, one has to take a more direct approach with American businessmen as far as money is concerned. A-1 said the reason he has not made a direct pitch for money is because he does not want to take the same approach other exile organizations do. A-1 felt he would have better success in getting a little from alot of people instead of alot from a few.2. According to A-1, AMJAVA-4 will be leaving Thursday for Nicaragua.3. A-1 advised that Nilo Messer and Antonio Sanz are now in Spain. Antonio Sanz will return after placing Nilo in contact with appropriate people in Spain. A-1 expects to meet with a representative of the dissident group within the next two weeks. A-1 did not elaborate as to the reason for his expectation. A-1 again asked if the charts he requested would be turned over to him when he meets Carl. A-1 was assured that Carl would bring the charts to the meeting.4. "Cucc" de Leon is leaving on 3 November for Nicaragua.5. The three man group scheduled to go to the Dominican Republic to survey the new AMWORLD site has been temporarily

SECRET-2-delayed due to expired visas. A-1 has obtained the necessary information for President Reid concerning the purchase of twelve Swifts. This information will be sent with the three man group. When asked why President Reid has not negotiated the purchase of the Swifts himself, A-1 stated Reid tried to but found embezzling within his group. President Reid wants to show the naval group he can purchase the Swifts on his own.6. A-1 expects the Philco training school to begin on 3 November. Approximately 25 AMWORLDERS will attend the school. A-1 said he had submitted a list of needed spare parts to Philco but he has not received a reply. A-l is checking other radio corporations to obtain the lowest possible prices.7. The MV SANTA MARIA is anchored off Monkey Point and according to A-l is in top notch condition.8. A-1 said he terminated his contract with station WRUL in New York. A-1 intends to use the Dominican Republic to beam long-wave programs to Cuba.9. As of this month the "Tridente" will be reduced in size and will be published monthly.10. A-1 was informed that Carl will arrive in West Palm Beach at 2130 on 3 November.

After several unsuccessful attempts I was finally able to contact AMBIDDY-1 and advise him that Carl wold be unable to meet him at the agreed time. I informed A-1 that Carl would contact him at 0900 on 4 November and make arrangements for their meeting.2. A-1 said he had received confirmation that the Philco school had started on 2 November.3. During this non-operational period A-1 is having all his vessels checked out to see that they will be in good operational condition. A-1 specifically alluded to the LCM's that are presently being overhauled. The Swift GITANA is also undergoing maintenance repairs.4. Besides setting up Nilo Messer as AMWORLD's liaison to the dissident group, Antonio Sanz is inquiring as to the departure date of the RIO CAOGAO, A-1 intends to broach the topic of attacking the CAONAO with Carl. A-1 stated that he hopes that Carl will have a final decision for him on the CAONAO5. Feeling that A-1 was probing for a sign as to what decision has been made on the CAONAO, I changed the subject and asked A-1 if he was watching the election: returns.

AMBIDDY-1 reported that Antonio Sanz returned from    Spain last night (11 Nov) and according to Sanz a representative    of the dissident group will be leaving for Spain on 15 Nov.    Sanz does not have the name of the representative, however, all    indications point to Dr. Faustino Perez. A-1 has only talked    to Sanz briefly by phone and therefore did not have all the    details of Sanz trip.2.  According to A-1 Sanz talked to the captain of the    Caonao and the captain is more willing than ever to deliver the    ship to AMWORLD. The Caonao will leave Spain on 16 Nov.

Santiago Alvarez Rodriguez is encountering difficulties    with I&NS in leaving the U. S. A-1 did not elaborate as to the    difficulty, however, it appears to be a matter of having    the proper papers.5.  A-1 said he is very pleased by the intelligence    section in Miami, particularly the debriefing of Cuban exiles.    A-1. promised to give Headquarters copies of all intelli-    gence reports.
