# DISPATCHTO:Chief, WH DivisionFROM:Chief of Station, ManaguaSUBJECT:Information Received from AMBIDDY-1REFERENCE: (A) HNMA-4315, 17 April 1969(B) HNMA-4324, 1 May 19691. Attached (USC) for the information of Headquarters is a copy of a memorandum prepared for the LNPURE Chief on 12 May 1969. This memorandum sets forth information received that day by the COS from AMBIDDY-1 who is considering going into a dry dock venture in Corinto with Jose Maria ZELAYA, private secretary to President Somoza. ZELAYA has cabinet rank. He is believed by many to be pro-Communist although, as in the case of similar reports about Francisco J. LAINEZ, no real proof of these allegations seems to be produced.2. When shown this memorandum, the LNPURE Chief said he thought it quite likely that ZELAYA is strongly anti-American as reported by AMBIDDY.3. AMBIDDY says that for the first time he recently heard Somoza utter unfavorable words about the United States and AMBIDDY "wondered" to the COS if ZELAYA could be exerting some evil influence on Somoza.4. The Station will seek to draw AMBIDDY out at length on this matter at an opportune time.Lawrence F. BarkerLawrence F.

The Ambassador 12 May 1969Political AttachéStatements of Jose Maria "Chema" ZELAYA1. On 12 May I was contacted by a close friend of mine who is engaged in negotiations with "Chema" ZELAYA which may lead to the two forming a business partnership. While my source is not normally a source of intelligence information, I have found him to be a good observer and to be reliable. He told me that ZELAYA told him the following at a meeting on 9 May.2. The ROCKEFELLER visit is merely a political maneuver on the part of President NIXON to furnish an excuse if anything goes wrong in Latin America. It is preposterous to expect Governor ROCKEFELLER to learn anything about a country in twenty four hours. ROCKEFELLER will go back to the United States, make his report to NIXON, and then go about his normal duties. NIXON will adopt those recommendations regarding U.S. policy for Latin America that are agreeable to him, paying no attention to the rest. If anything goes wrong, NIXON can pin the blame on ROCKEFELLER. In this way he has a scapegoat and also has an opportunity to lessen the prestige of a potential political rival. do possible good can come from this mission.3. ZELAYA said that he has managed to obtain the blessing (bendición) of the Catholic Church. Now he is working on the blessing of the American Ambassador. In this respect he has proposed setting up youth centers around the country-- places where youngsters can go to read good books, play ping pong, etc. -- and the American Ambassador is interested.4. My friend is of the opinion that ZELAYA is strongly anti-American.Sic att: 1HNMA-04335SECRET201-267437![MICROFILMED MAY 23 1969 DOC. MICRO. SER. ]

# SECRET29 April 1969MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORDSUBJECT: Manuel ARTIME Buesa1. On 18 April I saw Subject again briefly and told him that I would appreciate an opportunity to talk to him alone. As he was about to leave town, he promised to contact me again on his next trip to Managua. He phoned me on 28 April. I picked him up that night and drove him up to my house where we had a long conversa-:tion over a couple of steaks and a good bottle of wine.2. I told Subject that I had heard his name mentioned in connection with such unsavory activity as fomenting revolution in Panama and narcotics trafficking--from people who don't know him. My reply to any such dirty-mouthing is that Subject is a hyperactive type who keeps in contact with all sorts of people, some of whom may be involved in unsavory activity. This does not mean Subject is involved. Indeed, I was sure he was not.3. The provocation yielded desired results and in the ensuing conversation Subject gave me a detailed explanation of his present activities and financial situation.4. His business dealings are carried on under his company, known as Central South International, Inc. He is president and his wife is secretary. His business activity In Nicaragua consists of :a. Sales of equipment to the National Guardb. Sales of livestock (cows) to Nicaragua. These dealings are handled through Colonel Guillermo NOGUERA, the buyer at this end, Subject expects to expand this business to include sales to INFONAC--the National Development Commission.FORWARDED BY SPLIT TRANSMISSIONNO FILLO DISSELIMATICHES COPY5/c extt :1SECRET201-267437HNMA-4324.
