SECRET23 July 1965MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORDSUBJECT: Meeting with George Lodge, Harvard School of Business1. On 15 July 1965, with Mr. Andy Croce of CA Staff, I met Mr. Lodge at the Key Bridge Marriott Hotel to discuss what he knew about the relations among AMBIDDY-1, Bishop McGrath of Panama, and a rural development program they are all working on in Panama. Mr. Lodge described Bishop McGrath as a real ball of fire, about 39 or 40 years old, born of U. S. parents in the Canal Zone but he has taken Panama citizenship. He graduated from Notre Dame University, did graduate work in Rome and has taught in several European and Latin American universities, such as in Chile. He is one of the three top Catholic prelates in Latin America and has extremely close ties with the Vatican, e.g., he is on the Ecumenical Council and on the birth control group. He has an official operating budget of $2,000 per year which he augments from every conceivable source, particularly from the German bishops. He is politically and operationally minded, an American completely in his attitude and behavior, a typical Irish politician, Mr. Lodge submitted somewhat wryly. His parents are retired and live in Miami where he visits often. He recently met AMBIDDY-1 there on two occasions. On this same visit he also met the Papal Nuncio from Santo Domingo (he appears to receive most of the hot potato type assignments in his part of the world).2. Veraguas Province of Panama is a selected testing ground for community development programs in rural areas. It is the poorest and most hopeless province of Panama, a small armed uprising took place there in 1958 and wee put down. The Communists have their best organization in Panama in this province. The program there is based on the village of San Francisco, about 10 miles off the highway, and is an expansion of the efforts of the parish priest Father VASQUEZSECRET
[104-10163-10173.pdf — page 148]
# SECRET-2-Pinto who has been thereabout 10 years. He is a dynamic young man who has lead the villagers to rebuild their village and church to develop their land and organize a cooperative and small credit facilities. The village is only 1,200 people but they raised by themselves $1,000 to buy materials and then built a training center capable of housing, feeding and training 60 men at a time in rural cooperatives and rural development. One of their ideas is to select bright looking leaders and potential leaders from rural areas, first in Panama and later, hopefully, from other nearby countries for visits of a few days in which they hope to brain-wash them of Communist type propaganda they may have heard and show them what can actually be done so they can take the good word with them to their own communities. This is in addition to the regular formal course of 4 months for selected young potential leaders from rural communities in Panana and all over Latin America.3. Another leading light in the program is Father Steele who was thrown out of Dominica by Trujillo for organizing cooperatives and is a recognized authority on the subject. Father Steele uses Veraguas as a home base but travels to Chile, Colombia and other countries conducting short training courses on the ground. There are some Dutch priests on the staff whom Bishop McGrath personally recruited. Father Vasquez Pinto has sent about 10 to 15 local boys. to the Antigonish School in Nova Scotia and they are back for duty. Mr. Lodge describes the group as a highly motivated and energetic group and Father Vasquez Pinto as a young and effective Panamanian priest who is a good operator. Mr. Lodge has two men from Harvard University there to study the program and assist in any way they can. The Peace Corps has 54 people in the Central Provinces of Panama, about 30 of then in Veraguas Province. They cooperate with the center, in fact the two Harvard men are interviewing each of the Peace Corps volunteers about their work. Mr. Lodge said they are coming up with some good information and ideas which other- wise would be lost as there is a good deal of experience among the Peace Corps kids but they don't know to recognize its significance or how to organize it into useable form.4. The above group is trying to organize the center As a viable base with an effective staff to continue the training program even if the present leaders should move on. They hope it will become a pilot program for Latin America and that they will be able to seed other similar programa from# SECRET
[104-10163-10173.pdf — page 149]
SECRET-3-this one. They hope to be able to spot and develop leaders in remote arcas for future operations in those areas. Incidental to these major objectives, they are also helping to develop the economy of Veraguas, to develop production, transport to markets, credit facilities, and in general to help alleviate grievances which the Communists have exploited in the past.5. Bishop McGrath has arranged with AMBIDDY-1 for about six of AMBIDDY-l's people to attend the January 1966 training course, with 3 or 4 to remain on the staff. Hopefully, one of them will develop into the executive director of the center. It was agreed that the first man will not be too closely associated in the public eye wita AMBIDDY-1 in order to try to forestall initial bad publicity from opposition elements. AMBIDDY-1 and Bishop McGrath agreed, therefore, that Nestor IZQUIERDO (who is well known as a long-time adherent of AMBIDDY-1 from 1958-59 Comandos Rurales days in Oriente) would not be assigned to the Panama center at this time. AMBIDDY-1 told Bishop McGrath that he would try to obtain sufficient funds to support the men assigned to the center. He has not yet brought up this matter with his case officer, and as the amounts will be very small, he may try to squeeze it out of his newly authorized budget. However, he may ask the Agency for additional holp to sponsor these men while they are working their way into the program. It is intended that the Cubans would continue cooperation in the program, eventually working them into the field wherever they are needed and acceptable.6. Mr. Lodge will meet Bishop McGrath next in Panama on 29 or 30 July. As a coincidence AMBIDDY-1 will probably be in or near Panama around the same time, as he left 14 July for Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama for meetings with their presidents and several days visit in each country.File:AMCIVICCC: WH/PO/BC/WH/2CA STAFF-CuceSECRETCarl E.

On 29 July 1965 I discussed Subject with Major Lupton of Detachment "" of ACSI Headquarters. In response to my direct questions Major Lupton stated the following:a. ACSI is not using subject but they have been considering such use.b. Subject is not working in Bolivia or anywhere else for ACBI or any other Defense Department component that Major Lupton is avare of.c. ACBI was unaware that subject had been designating himself as a sort of public relations representative and press man in behalf of General BARRIENTOS.2. I stated to Major Lupton that we held a poor opinion of subject, regarded his as an opportunist, and a posible candidate for "bura" action. Furthermore we were concerned about his alleged press activities in behalf of BARRIENTOS and felt if he were in anyway connected with a United States Intelligence agency and this became known, it could have an adverse affect on the extremely delicate political situation which now exists in that country and very well place the U.S. Covernment in an embarrassing position with respect to the Bolivian Government. Based on our vious regarding subject I told Eajor Lapton that we would not coordinate any operational proposal ACBI night put forward aimed at using subject's services.3. Hajer Lepton took the above in good grace and asked if it were presihiv for us to provide him with any information concerning zabject's background and other details which would sive ACTI a clearer picture of his activities.
