El Panama HiltonPANAMA, REPUBLICA DE PANAMATELEFONO. 3-1666 (15 LINEAS)CABLES, HILTELSJune 15 1965Roger GarveyDear Andy:I have just come back from a three-day visit to Veraguas where things are going along very well. There are now 9 small cooperatives in the region around Santiago. In the village of San Francisco a large training center is under construction which will house 60 persons for cooperative training courses and for other teaching in rural development. There is dormitory as well as classroom space. The building was financed as follows: $12,000 from the German Bishops, $6500 from the community of San Francisco itself (pop.1000), which is really quite remarkable and testimony to the truly unique and effective operations which the Bishop and his associates are creating in Veraguas and $9000 is being raised in Panama. This Center will be where Father Steele will conduct regular four-month cooperative and rural development training courses for persons from all over Latin America. It will also be used for local training. Father Steele's last course was held in Panama city and was attended by 25 men from Ecuador, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Bolivia and Panama. This course seems to be the best of its kind in Latin America.The land has finally been broken free around San Jose: this is the first real land reform in Panama. My two men are hard at work.I talked to the Bishop about Nestor and he was most enthusiastic. He wants him to come as soon as possible and work alongside Oswaldo Rodrigues who is the young man in charge of his development operations. His organization is called CEPAS, Center for Studies, Promotion and Social Assistance. He hopes that Nestor will be able to be the executive director and operator of the San Francisco Center under construction. In my view this would be an ideal set-up. Best wishes.HOTELES HILTON ALREDEDOR DEL MUNDO

# PANAMA REPUBLICA DE PANAMATELEFONO-LINEARCABLES HILTELSwould be in at the beginning of this effort which could have affects throughout Latin America. He would be learning and also teasing.The Bishop suggested that he could use another men as well and further suggested that four of Nestor's friends from Miami might want to come and take Father Steelés course in January at San Francisco. It costs about $60 a month, including everything.The Bishop knew Manuel, having met him in Chicago at some meeting, and he has the highest record for him. He suggested that he could meet Manuel and Nestor in Miami on June 28 when he will be there staying with his father-in-law step-father, Col. Harry Scheibla. 6491 Allison Island Rd., Miami Beach. I called Manuel and he and Nestor will see the Bishop on the morning of June 28. I told the Bishop that financing for Nestor could be arranged, suggesting possibly the Panax but making nothing definite. I suggest that if all this meets with your approval you may wish to contact Manuel and/or Nestor and pin down the financial part of it. I would suggest that Nestor be paid about $200 a month. That is what Oswaldo Rodrigues gets. Incidentally this Oswaldo is really first class - a good man to watch. You may want to just let things go as they are but in any case the Bishop expects Nestor to be financed somehow.I am off to Colombia tomorrow.All the best.

# Meetings with AMJAVA-4 in Washington, 27-28 June 1965Subject: Proposed Agency Programs1. Following the demise of AMWORLD, AMJAVA-4 has become familiar with three other Agency programs, or proposed programs, and he asked if he could have some clarification as to just what we wanted from him and his people. I explained that there were three different functions which needed to be done and that the Agency was trying to develop programs to meet each need. The three functions concerning Cuba are:(a) to maintain the MRR as a respected resistance organization with a political posture which is acceptable to most Cubans and not inimical to U.S. interests. We are asking approval of a minimum budget for subsidy of the MRR which will pay for its published and radio publicity matter, subsistence to survivors of MRR killed, disabled, or captured, and travel expenses for AMBIDDY-1 as the leader of the movement outside Cuba. We are trying to guide A-l into a program of Community Development/Civic Action projects in Latin America as a means of projecting an image of the MRR and of A-l as constructive, forward-looking people instead of simply exile counterrevolutionaries. We would hope that such activities would keep the movement together, give the members practical experience which would eventually be useful in Cuba, and in the meantime, would render useful results in countering problems of insurgency in Latin America.(b) to prepare a managerial and executive team of specially selected Cuban exiles who would be ready to move into Cuba should relations be resumed with the United States in order to furnish effective direction of necessary governmental functions and assist the United States in denying the island to Communist control. Selected candidates would, hopefully, be fairly young as well as intelligent and capable of profiting from extensive training programs which would be designed for each to prepare him to perform a specific function in a future Cuban regime. The program would be apolitical, each person being considered as an individual and not as representative of any organization. This is the program for which A-4 is being considered for training in the field of internal security for work with the Agency in a post-Castro Cuban régime.2.

When not mobilized, the Agency would asaälst then inmaintaining employment and supporting themselves. they would also, of course, be available for emergency operational commitment to Cuba if required. (It was explained that this was the program handled by Mr. Ton Clines of SOD, who was present and discussed it more in detail with A-4.)2. A-4 understood that the programs outlined above wore only parts of an overall concept concering Cuba, that the first vas designed to meet long-term political considerations, the second at meet long-term strategic requirements, and the third to meet current operational needs. He understood and completely agreed with each program, and agreed to cooperate in executing each of them, to the maximum of his ability. He will be happy to spot and recruit for us in each program, and will try to influence AMBIDDY-1 along the lines we want him to follow. A-4 appreciated ou explanations and stated that he could be much more helpful to us now that he understood what we were trying to accomplish.Carl S. JenkinsWH/C/CA/EA

Art was accompanied by a man named Pogo (sp?), who the Bishop said had come from Boston. Nestor was not there.After a lengthy conversation, the Bishop said that he and Art agreed that the man to follow would be to send from a pool of Art’s younger men to Father Steele’s cooperative-community development training course which will be held in San Francisco. Very roughly around January 15. At the end of the course, which I believe runs four months, the Bishop could then pick one or two of the men to remain and work with him and his group. The Bishop was concerned about having someone with his project who was too closely connected with IRR Art. He felt and he said Art did too that probably both Art and Pogo were too well known as associates of Antin. That is why he decided on younger men who are less identified.The Bishop said he made some discreet inquiries about Art among “friends” of his in Miami and found that he and once been the fair-haired and much admired leader of young Cubans, but that in America he had had a love affair with the wife of one of Batista’s, which sort of took some of the gloss off as far as his followers were concerned. The Bishop said he has since married the women and is working his way back to a position of respectability. They liked him a lot and he said they got along very well.It sounds to me as though this is a very good plan and could lead to something of long-term value.Genros.

SECRET12 July 1965MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORDSUBJECT: Activities of AMBIDDY-1, 1-10 July 19651.  I talked to AMBIDDY-1 by telephone on 2, 8 and 10 July with the gist of the conversations outlined below:a.  AMBIDDY-1 had two long conversations with Bishop McGrath of Panama on 30 June and 2 July. They discussed the center for studies of rural cooperatives at San Francisco village in Veraguas Province, Panama, that is being developed under the Bishop's auspices with support from Harvard University and which has two men there at present. Prof. George Lodge is the Harvard representative and has been visiting the center. A-1 received a letter fron Prof. Lodge asking for assignment of an experienced man to the staff of the center. Bishop McGrath repeated the request, saying he would like to have two men as soon as possible, with a total of six by January when he plans to increase the program. The two men selected. were Silvano POZO Carrillo (201-73977 and Nestor IZQUIERDO Diaz (201-281933) both Negroes from Oriente Province and former Comandos Rurales. A-l asked the Bishop what part the Panama Government played and was told they approved, although they were not directly involved. A-1 understands that the center will train students from all over Latin America and has already graduated more than twenty students from several countries.b. The five man security force left by A-l at Monkey Point, Nicaragua, in addition to guarding a weapons cache, continues to teach the local Indians in reading, wring, basic operation and maintenance of machinery, and rice planting.c. The community development/civic action training program for MRR members which A-l has been running in the evenings in Miami is about half finished. He has about twenty men attending regularly after work with several others attending whenever/they can get away from their jobs. TheSECRET![Exluded from automatic downgrading and declassification]

## SECRET-2-class is now studying organization of rural cooperatives. Silvano POZO is chief instructor for this phase and will be sent to Panama as soon as the classes in Miami are completed.d. A-1 has bought a small farm (22 acres) near West Palm Beach to develop as a model farm for his training program. He is installing generators, water pumps, and starting to raise chickens, etc. He hopes eventually to bring a few students at a time from Latin America as his program progresses to show then what can be done with small plots if proper farming techniques are used.e. A-1 received another message from Bolivia saying in effect that the situation was still about the same and again asking if he were able to visit there. He stalled them again (at our request) and agreed to be out of town or otherwise scheduled until the matter dies a natural death.2. The West German Government has issued scholarships paying all tuition plus $100 per month subsistence in German universities to three of A-l's people who have been living in Spain. They will go to Germany in August to study the language for six months then begin their studies. They are Angel LAVANDERA, economics; Carlos MAYO, engineering; and Luis CAVADA, engineering. This is follow-up to the meeting A-l had in Rome with the German Ambassador that was arranged for him by the Vatican Secretary of State last December.3. A-1 is leaving 13 or 14 July for about 10 to 15 days visiting Central America. He will go to Nicaragua first to talk with President Schick and General Somoza, then to Monkey Point to check on the condition of the base, security of the arms he has cached there, and to observe the civic action training his men there are conducting for the local Indians. He will then go to Costa Rica to talk with President Orlich and Foreign Minister Oduber who have sent werd they would like to meet with him as soon as convenient for him. From there he will go to Panama to see President Marcos Robles, who has been expecting him for several weeks. A-l will describe the project he is about to enter with Bishop McGrath and Professor Lodge and confirm President Robles' attitude toward it. A-l will also visit Veraguas Province and look over the training centor.4. I also informed A-1 that his proposal to maintainJ. S. support for the MRR to pay for support to dependents andSECRET
