# 17 January 1967CX-5212# MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD**SUBJECT:** Termination of Manuel Artiny Baesa1.  On the night of 13 January 1967 the writer using the operational alias James F. Wilson met with Artime in a room in the Hotel Columbus in Miami, Florida. The purpose of the meeting was to formally terminate Artime's association with the Agency. This involved the obtaining of termination Secrecy Oath and Quit Claim, the payment of $3,000 to cover the final periodical payment through 31 December 1966 and obtaining outstanding receipts.2.  The meeting was cordial and all paper work involved in the proceedings was accomplished without incident. There was of course the expected lengthy discussion on what he had done (or tried to do) for the Agency in the past and an undoubtedly sincere effort to impress upon me that he was ready and willing for any task he might be called upon to do in the future.3.  Artime made only one request--a rather passionate one--for financial assistance for the immediate family members of two Movement for the Recuperation of the Revolution (MRR) members who were executed as the result of operational missions to Cuba and the wife of another who is serving a 30-year sentence. (It will be recalled that Artime has been furnishing receipts for the $3,000 he has been receiving in recent months claiming that the money goes to the families of MRR members who have lost their lives or been imprisoned while on MRR missions.) We are examining these three cases and if worthy will arrange for financial benefits under the "survivors and martyrs" section of the AMRUD activity.4.  Artime has a sterile Headquarters telephone number and a P.O. box address in Washington, D.C. He was not discouraged in maintaining a loose contact by telephone or correspondence if he had any items of interest to pass along and was assured that if he ever had any "new" ideas, if he put them in writing, they would be studied. It was, however, made very clear to him that his formal association with the Agency was terminated and that there was no prospect of any financial assistance in the foreseeable future.B-19-124-27/2B-19-300-11201-267437

# DISPATCHTO: Chief of Station, San JoseFROM: Chief, WH DivisionSUBJECT: AMBIDDY-1 Discussions with Frank MARSHALL and Daniel ODUBERACTION REQUIRED REFERENCESREFERENCES: A. HRS-3845, 12 December 1966B. HNMW-1930, 19 December 19661. AMBIDDY-1 gave the following information to James D. ZABOTIl in Managua on 15 December 1966 and was told to pass it on to his leadquarters contact for proper handling and distribution. This report is forwarded as a follow-up in case the information failed to get into proper channels, as it has a direct connection with Reference A and is a sequel to Reference B.2. Between 7 and 13 December 1966, AMBIDDY-1 talked three times with Frank MARSHALL, at the latter's request. HARSHALL first called AMBIDDY-1 and asked if they could meet at MARSIIALL's office to talk about the possibility of MARSHALL investing in the business proposition in which AMBIDDY-1 was involved. (A concession for a commercial record player with a television type screen on which scenes are displayed which are supposed to be synchronized with the music.) After two such meetings, which AMHIDDY-1 described as "get-acquainted" and "feeling-out" sessions (the two men had never met in person previously), MARSHALL asked if he could visit AMBIDDY-1 privately in his hotel room. They met on 12 December 1966 at AMBIDDY-1's suite in the Gran Hotel in San Jose.continued.....10 January 1967JDZABOTH:wcgDistribution:2 - C05, San Jose2 - Chief, WHD

CONTINUATION OFDISPATCH3. MARSHALL said he knew AMBIDDY-1 had some weapons. AMBIDDY-1 replied that the weapons in Nicaraguan had been given to the Nicaraguan Government, but MARSHALL continued to press the point, saying he knew there were others. AMBIDDY-1 at last reluctantly admitted that he did have a few more scattered around under tight security (he says this is not true, in fact), but indicated that he had other plans for their use. MARSHALL said he did not care where they were or what they cost, he would buy them. AMBIDDY-1 asked him why he wanted weapons so badly, and MARSHALL replied that he was always in the market for weapons. AMBIDDY-1 said he was aware of that fact, but this did not sound like just another routine business deal. He went on to say that he would not even consider releasing any of his arms without knowing where they were going and for what use, and that he had heard that MARSHALL had sold weapons previously to the Communists. He would have nothing to do with such an operation, regardless of any possible profit in it. He tried to elicit as much information as possible, but got very little. MARSHALL said they had a common friend in General SOMOZA, to which AMBIDDY-1 replied that this was fairly recent as SOMOZA and MARSHALL had been bitter enemies up until about the last three years. AMBIDDY-1 said he had to know how many arms were wanted, when, where, and for what purpose. MARSHALL said he wanted all he could get, as soon as possible, in Costa Rica, and the reason was that he knew a coup was being prepared and he wanted to get his own people ready in time. AMBIDDY-1 said he would have to think about the proposition and would give him an answer in about three weeks. (He intends to stall and make no commitments, hoping to draw out more information. He will not agree to sell any arms.)4. On 7 December 1966, AMBIDDY-1 talked with Daniel ODUBER at the latter's office. ODUBER said he was worried about all the talk of coup plotting, weapons and other indicators of possible violence. ODUBER again mentioned to AMBIDDY-1 that he had a finca on the Pacific Coast near the Nicaraguan border which has an airstrip adequate for a C-46 or C-47 type aircraft, and made an effort to feel out AMBIDDY-1 about the possibility of landing arms on that airstrip. AMBIDDY-1 was noncommital and ODUBER did not press the point.5. AMBIDDY-1 said (as his opinion) that he had gotten the impression from talking with MARSHALL and ODUBER that ODUBER is pushing MARSHALL to stage a coup attempt in the hope that he, ODUBER, can step in at the right time and claim the Presidency. ODUBER considers Jose "Pepe" FIGUERES to be his main rival in such a plan, however. He seems to think the TREJOS administration is doomed in a matter of time.Lawrence F. BARKER

Miami 10 de Enero de 1967Estimado JimaEl Dr. Alvarez Tormo estuvo el domingo y el lunes y el martes en Miami.El motivo de su visitas1-Contacto con amigo de Carlos en Mejico deficiente. Solo puede hablar con el contacto cuando este lo llama por telefono, y esto lo hace muy de tarde en tarde. Hay cosas urgentes que el espia de la embajada cubana le plantea, que el no puede decidir sin hablar primero con el amigo de Carlos.Por ejemplosle plante ron un viaje clandestino a Venezuela.Seria conveniente que Alvarez Tormo pudiera llamar un telefono cada vez que necesite ver al amigo.2-Los agences de la Embajada cubana temieron una ruptura con Mejico hace dos semanas y le comunicaron a Alvarez Tormo un sistema de comunicaciones de emergencia, que te envio adjunto en la propia letra de Alvare: Tormo.Antes de venir Alvarez Tormo, el cubano le dijo que la situacion critica con Mejico habia pasado, pero que guardara el sistema de emergencia hasta despues de la "Reunion de Presidentes Americanos"3-Como vez,le ensenaror a Alvarez Tormo hasta un lugar donde el podia recibir "material" (es decira Propaganda, materiales de sabotaje, armas etc.)3-Creo que esto bien trabajado puede dar un resultado formidable,pero creo que si el contacto en Mejico no funciona, Alvarez Tormo va a terminar por evadir lo que para el significa un peligr para sus familiares en Cuba.4-Ya en Cuba trasladaron al hermano de Alvarez Torme de la Prision para una granja donde la vida es mas comoda y la familia lo puede ver.Le han traido noticias de su hermano.AbrazossIgnacio
