A-1 hopes to return to Miami as soon as possible to be on call for the meeting with representative of the dissident group.2.  ANJAVA-4 is leaving on the same flight as A-1 but will go directly to Managua. A-4 would prefer to meet with Carl on 19 November in Panama. A-1 was requested to tell A-4 to bring the plans for Jucaro, Casilda, Santa Cruz del Sur and Guayabal to the Panama meeting. A-1 will tell A-4 the address of the Panama safehouse.3.  A-l said he received word from Managua that several shots were fired at his private automobile yesterday (15 November) in Managua. Fortunately the bullets went astray and the driver was unharmed. The assailant or assailants escaped.4.  According to A-l approximately a week or so ago the Guardia Fiscal in Parismina, which is near Tortuguero, saw a light out at sea. When they went to see what it was they saw a submarine. A-l also claims that the U.S. Army is in that area building a tower of scmo sort.5.  A-1 believes the weapons ordered by Costa Rica from the U.S. were requested by Pepe Figueres under the pretext that of turning them over to Manolo Ray.

AMBIDDY-1 stated William King will advise Philco today that AMWORLD no longer wished to employ Jim Lee. A-1 sent a message to the base for Lee to return to the U. S.2. A-1 reported he received a call from Nilo Messer who said that Robreno wished to see AMJAVA-4 to make arrangements for the "summit" meeting. It appeared to A-l that the representative of the dissident group in Spain wants to deal with a higher ranking person than Nilo Messer. Nilo has received indications that the representative has already left Cuba and is somewhere in Europe on a shopping spree. Mr. Santell suggested perhaps it would be best for AMJAVA-4 to arrange the meeting in Paris rather than in Spain. A-1 agreed. AMJAVA-4 will probably leave for Spain on 21 November after his meeting with Carl.3. A-1 was advised that HQS had received a report stating Guayo is in possession of photographs presumed to be on the ARANZAZU affair that were not turned over to AMWORLD for censorship. A-1 stated that Guayo was searched thoroughly after the ARANZAZU affair and doubts he has photographs in his possession unbeknownst to AMWORLD, however, A-l will investigate. We advised A-1 we had no way of checking the veracity of the report, however, wanted to alert him of the possibility. A-1 said Guayo is now in Caracas working for "Bbhemia Libre."4. A-1 plans to leave for Costa Rica on 19 November. We informed him that one of the topics which Cornelio Orlich may discuss is the increasing publicity being generated by the training of Cuban exiles in that country.5.

AMBIDDY-1 called to say he had just returned from   Costa Rica where he spoke to President Orlich and his brother.   The Orlichs made no mention of expelling A-l, but, to the   contrary, are willing to continue to support AMWORLD. The   only request made by President Orlich was that the arms barge   be taken out of Costa Rica for fear the Communists would   learn of its existence. A-1 said he will comply.2. The topic of conversation quickly changed to the   newspaper article by Hal Hendrix which greeted A-1 upon his   arrival from Costa Rica about A-1 involvement in smuggling   activities in Costa Rica. We informed A-1 that Al Burt had   intended to publish a similar story but was scooped by Hendrix.   We asked A-1 what he thought of the idea of having President   Orlich issue a complete denial as soon as possible of A-l's   smuggling activities ia Costa Rica, A-l felt a presidential   denial was essential in counteracting this damaging publicity.   A-1 stated he would call President Orlich the first thing in   the morning on this matter. Another suggestion to neutralize   Hendrix's story was for A-1 to see Al Burt as soon as possible   and categorically deny the story. If need be A-i might want   to invite Burt to Costa kica to speak to President Orlich and   confirm A-l's side of the story.Above conversation conductadIn pratened frequentlyRaul J. HermandRaul J.

The undersigned telephoned AMBIDDY-1 to see if he had an opportunity to speak with President Orlich. A-1 stated he was unable to reach the President but did speak to the President's secretary. The secretary advised A-l that he was unaware of the Hendrix story but he assured A-l the entire story' would be denied. A-1 informed Headquarters that he has sent Manolin Hernandez with a copy of the story to see President Orlich. A-1 commented that the initial reaction in Miami to the story was one of indignation toward Hendrix.2.  When we called A-1, he was on his way to see Al Burt. A-1 had already talked to Burt by phone and they had made an appointment to discuss the entire matter this morning. Burt told A-1 on the phone that rumors concerning A-l's activity had reached him. A-l said he would tell Burt that President Orlich would issue a complete denial of the Hendrix allegations. A-1 was cautioned not to forget that Burt is primarily a newspaperman and therefore to be on guard as to what he tells Burt.3.  A-1 was advised to take a fire stand against Philco concerning Jim Lee. Lee should be sent back to the U. S. as soon as possible. A-1 was requested to reject any proposals by Philco for consultations in Miami or Central America con- cerning Lee. A-1 should tell King to telephone Philco on Monday (23 Nov) and make it quite clear AMWORLD cannot afforů to pay needless travelling expenses of Philco representatives. King should also ask for a price list for the spare parts. If Philco cannot comply, A-1 was advised 18/them he will buy his spare parts elsewhere.SECRET> Above con salien cundusrat> in proarranged> changed prety code

23 November 1964MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORDSUBJECT: Telephone Conversation Between AMBIDDY-1 and DickDATE: 21 November 1964, 1600 hours1. At 1600 hours, 21 November 1964, I complied with AMBIDDY-1's request relayed through the Security Office that he be called on Franklin 3-1568 in Miami.2. AMBIDDY-1 described reports reaching him of mysterious phone calls being received by various Cubans in Miami, mostly MRR personnel or wives of MRR members. These calls started during the morning of 21 November. The caller was a North American who spoke Spanish and gave his name as "Bill Jones." The caller sought in each case to solicit derogatory information about AMBIDDY-1, with particular emphasis on A-l's alleged participation in smuggling activities. The caller offered money (A-l did not know how much) for derogatory information.3. A-1 mentioned two persons who received calls: AMYUM-19 and the wife of Manolin Hernandez. In addition to smuggling, A-19 was also asked if the reason he broke with A-l was because of the marriages of AMJAVA-4 or A-1. A-19 denied these allegations to the caller.4. A-1 said that the story spreading through Miami as a result of these calls is that the U.S. Government -- and probably CIA specifically -- was attempting to discredit A-l as a basis for denouncing him. A-l was obviously distressed by these speculations, and in reporting them he was in reality asking the question. I gave him my unequivocal assurance that the U.S. Government was not responsible for the calls..5. I asked A-l who he thought was responsible and he said "maybe the Miami Herald." A-l said that he had seen Al Burt earlier in the day (Saturday, 21 November) and that Burt was angry because he felt that the recent
[104-10163-10173.pdf — page 256]
-2-TV coverage of the AMWORLD camps and activities in CentralAmerica was a scoop to which he was rightfully entitledbecause of a prior agreement with AMBIDDY-1. A-1 gaveBurt his side of the stories being circulated aboutANWORLD's contraband activities. A-1 felt that hemade an impression. Burt was particularly interestedin a denial of these charges which A-l told Burt wouldbe issued very soon by the President of Costa Rica (seefollowing paragraph). A-l said he thought that he mayhave mollified Burt somewhat by having the meeting andby promising him scoops in the future, but that Burtstill holds a grudge against him.6. AMBIDDY-1 said he was expecting momentarily   a call from Manolin Hernandez in San Jose. Hopefully,   Hernandez' call would be to read a public letter from   President Orlich officially denying the presence of   ANWORLD training camps in Costa Rica and disavowing   charges that A-l or his people were involved in smuggling.   Orlich promised A-l to issue such a letter. When he gets   a copy of this letter A-l intends to hold a press   conference and use it as the heart of his effort to set   the record straight about charges that AMWORLD is involved   in running contraband.7. I told A-1 that we would look into his report on   the mysterious phone calls and that we would let him know   what we find out.![signature of Richard B. Beal]Richard B.

At the end of this private meeting, AMCARD-1 had an opportunity to talk with AMBIDDY-1. As a result, AMCAN-1 learned that, as of 18 October 1964, it was AMBIDDY-1's intention to help the Haitians in their fight against Duvalier. AMBIDDY-1 believed that be could furnish the arms and the transportation for the invasion of Haiti by Haitian exiles. AidBigy-1 was also talking abcut committing some of his troops to such an invasion as he felt that, if he were successful in this venture, he could obtain significant base rights for his organizatiwn in Haiti. These bases would in turn be used by AMBIDDT-1's operations against PERUMKи.2.
