15 December 1965MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Chief, WHD for CubaSUBJECT: Status of ANCIVIC - AMBIDDY-11.  The status of the ANCIVIC activity has reached the point where it must either be made into a useful ongoing activity or die for lack of purpose and justification.2.  As it now stands the activity's Principal Agent, AMBIDOY-1, is both literally and figuratively "flaying about" in a series of half-projects and half-plans which are neither meaningful to the Agency, meaningful to A-lor meaningful to his political movement. If he is to be taken at his word he is currently deeply involved both financially and politically with General Anastasio Somoza of Nicaragua. Financially he has committed some $75,000 of his Novonent's money in a shipbuilding scheme supposedly to be established at Monkey Point, Nicaragua. The plan, as envisioned by A-l. would be, that upon completion of these shipyards, they would offer employment and educational opportunities for the ignorant and poverty stricken Indians of the area. Once in operation, A-l expects that the profits from this operation will be pioved back into other endeavors such as a fishing cooperative and a farming cooperative-also to ultimately benefit the area's indigenous population. All of this, of course, hinges upon two fundamental factors: Firstly, it depends upon the continued goodwill of General Somosa, together with his willingness to contribute monios to the previously mentioned scheme. Secondly, it depends to a lesser extent upon A-l's ability to forge ahead with the program. This ia tuwa hinges upca A-1's financial status and abilities.3.  is to the first factor, General Somona has never had a reputation for benign magnanimity. The facts show quite the opposite. Be bas a reputation for being a hard-headed self-seeking businessman/ilitarist who now aspires to political office. Anyone who cau help obviously receives his support.
[104-10163-10176.pdf — page 7]
Therefore, should A-l's project meet with success, Somozavould benefit both financially and politically. It isdifficult to imagine A-l deriving the sane advantagesespecially when added to these considerations, is the factthat they have nothing whatever to do with Cuba or Cubens.4. As to the second factor, and returning to the more   realistic aspects of the problem, A-l in the past has denon-   strated his ability to sell ideas and projects. In a word   he is a politician. However, when it comes to administrative,   business and financial matters he is singularly inept. This   vas amply demonstrated during the AMWORLD era when it was   only thanks to the efforts of other well-qualified people   that the project was ever able to sustain itself. In   summary, as it now stands A-l is in the position of being   wholly beholden of the good offices of General Somosa..   Be further derives no political advantages from this and   is engaged in projects for which he has no basic qualifications.   In a sense he is leading with his weakest card. More   seriously, his efforts are politically out of focus.8. The above presents an admittedly gloomy picture of   A-i and his current activities, however, there are certain   aspects of the situation which might be used in order to   rechannel A-l's efforts. For one, A-1 claims that his   sagasino Tridente is now running in the black (this, of course,   comes from A-1 who probably has difficulty distinguishing an   ammet from a liability). Secradly, be has purchased 22 acres   of land in West Palm Beach where be is supposedly to start   training Nicaraguan Indians in the complexities of cooperative   farming. Both of these endeavors represent the positive and   realistic side of A-l's program. They also represent, or   could represent, his Cuban efforts instead of his Nicaragusa   efforts. Instead of Nicaraguan Indians, A-l should be   concentrating on training Cuban exiles. Using the proceeds   fron the two Swift launches, he should expand the acreage   of his fara to the point of possibly making it a self-sustaining   show place for his cooperative students. In so doing he would   be rafecusing bia political efforts while at the same ties   improving his Cuban image. From the Agency's point of vies   it could also be more easily supervised.6. It is therefore requested that the undersigned be   allowed to sit down with A-l and point out the folly of his   current activities and attempt to refocus them along the lines   mentioned above. Should he accept these suggestions further   efforts would then be made to encourage A-l to hire sSECRET

-3-competent businessman to supervise his financial affairs. Further, once located (preferably by us) future support payments would be made to the business manager instead of to A-1, with stricter accounting and double-checking involved. It would also be suggested that less security would be observed and more direct looking into A-1 business would be the order of the day. As such, it is also recommended that the undersigned be allowed to actually visit the farm and report back on the actual status of the fara. A-1 would also be told that henceforth, except on FI collection missions, he should confine his efforts to the farn and developing a sensible program for cooperativu training of Cubans, not Nicaraguans, or any other nationals.7. In summary A-1 should be told that unless he is prepared to refocus his activities more realistically the Agency's gravy train is about to pull into the station.Andrew D.

SECRET10 December 1965MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORDSUBJECT: Telephone Conversation with AMBIDDY-11.  AMBIDDY-1 telephoned the undersigned and indicated that he was forced to postpone his projected interview with President Raul Leoni of Venezuela due to the latter's having a tight schedule. As it now stands, A-1 plans to travel to Venezuela within ten days for the projected meeting.2.  A-1 stated that he was in contact with Costa Rican Presidential candidate, Daniel Oduber, during his last visit. Oduber supposedly asked for A-l's assistance in trying to overcome a recent spate of rumors surrounding his (Oduber's) allegiance with Communists. (Note: A-l is already printing some of Oduber's campaign material, so presumably this request falls within the context of the general propaganda discussions which A-l and Oduber held).3.  A-1 was asked if he had picked up any further informa- tion on the "mysterious Italian" which he reported on during his previous Costa Rica visit. He said that he had not but that his local representative in San Jose had been given instructions to try in every way possible to develop further information on the man. As an aside, A-l stated that he had discussed the matter with the Chief of the Costa Rican Security Service. More specifically, A-l asked that if by chance his own men located the individual, whether the Costa Rican Service would mind if he "transported" the man across the border to Nicaragua where they would be better able to deal with him. He claimed that the chief offered no objections to this plan. The undersigned cautioned A-l ca any interna- tional "transporting" schemes.4.  From Costa Rica, A-l traveled to Nicaragua where he held a meeting with Anastasio Somoza. The discussion centered on A-1's scheme for setting up a shipbuilding and dry dock facility near Monkey Point. In the course of this discussion, A-l claims to have obtained an offer from the GON for theSECRET

A-1 claims that this amount, coupled with his own contribution of $75,000, should be enough to begin construction of the facility as well as a school for teaching the indigenous people of the area how to read and write in addition to acquiring a skill in shipbuilding and repairing.5. As for politics, A-l stated that Somoza vas definitely not interested in embroiling himself with the Guatemalan and Costa Rican coup planners such as Roberto Alejos Arzu and Miguel Ruiz Herrera. The main reason for this was his concern with his own campaign in Nicaragua. Soncca, however, admitted to A-l that he had given some money to Guatemalan Col. Ponciano in order that the latter would be able to start his electoral campaign in Guatemala. A-l emphasized that the money was intended to support a legal campaign within the framework of the current constitutional and electoral laws and not for support of the extra-legal efforts of Alejos and company.6. As an item of incidental interest, A-1, while in Costa Rica, met with Roberto Madrid, the current Secretary to the Costa Rican President (possibly Secretary to the future President). Madrid in the past had been most helpful to AMBIDDY-1's movement in Costa Rica. By coincidence, Madrid was on his way to Miami for a one-week vacation so that A-1 invited him to stay at his house and attend his daughter's baptism. Madrid and his wife, therefore, are current AMBIDDY-1 house guests.7. Finally, the undersigned queried AMBIDDY-1 on whether he had been successful in obtaining a Nicaraguan passport for AMJAVA-4 in order that the latter might proceed with his plans for enrolling in the University of Mexico. A-1 replied that the passport was issued by the GON and would be mailed direct to A-4 within the next week or two.![signature of A. D. Rohlfing]A. D. RohlfingWH/C/CA/BWSECRET
