# Robin Moorea. Moore has just returned from Viet Nam where he participated in the combat operations of the American Special Forces in Viet Nam, after he had gone through about eight months of training at the Special Forces School at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Sore understanding of Moore's personality may be ontained from reading an interview between him and the magazine U. S. News and World Report. which was published recently. and copy of which was left with Varia. Further understandings and impressions of Moore may be obtained from reading his previously published took about Jack Youngblood. an American who participated in the events leading to Castro's overthrow of Battista.b. In my opinion. Moore has a burning desire to be known as a tough, two-fisted, rip roaring soldier of fortune. He has participated in real war in Viet Nam, and has received what is probably the best training in the world for guerilla fighters. Lamely. the C. S. Special Forces. Tois includes training as a parachutist. He is inclined to brag. and is probably inclined to interperate use of alcohol and women. and his judgement of important matters is probably immature. However. he definitely understands and is experienced in guerilla fighting, is experienced in military operations, and must surely understand military security.c. He is definitely willing to help, but cannot contribute cash directly; is willing to furnish the use of the guest house on his property for limited periods of time. Is willing to participate and aid in an operation to land people on the south coast of Cuba, but is not willing to commit the we of his property and facilities as a staging area for resupply in the future.d. Is willing to come to Miami, for conferences if his expenses are paid.# Site Evaluationa. Blue Hole is an excellent hartor; protected against all weather. and with six feet of water at the bar. Is surrounded by very steep slopes, heavily wooded. Dock facilities are presently very meager, but could be quickly and easily improved. No fuel for a boat is available at Blue Hole, aud at Fort Antonio (the closest source). the fuel available is diesel fuel or automotive gasoline; no marice white gasoline is available auywhere is the area. This is a most significant factor in selecting a suitable boat.b. The nearest source of food and other supplies is Port Autonio; Fred Barrett. manager of the Blue Lagoon Club. orders and hauls supplies from Port Antonio constantly, and could deliver whatever supplies were desired. Firearms and explosives are not obtainable on the island. They would have to be smuggled in illegally.c. A small station wagon is available for transportation, provided expenses are paid by users.# Miscellaneous. Informatioua. A local man. George Munroe. is reported to be a very experienced small boat captain and one who has brought boats down from Miami
[104-10165-10004.pdf — page 2]
on five different occasions. He is reported to be available to serie as captain on a fishing boat, and to train a crew.b. The S.S. Frangeline sails every two weeks from Viami direct to Port Antonio, and could be employed for the delivery of supplies and even a loat to Robin oore.c. Fred Barreti, manager of the bar-restaurant. seems to be a very capable mau. and for an additional $10 per week added to his regular pay, would be quite willing to assist any operation.d. A Mr. Anthony Gason. a retired British army colonel, is the Jamaica representative for TROJAN boats, at a place called Turtle Cove, between Port Antonio and Blue Hole.e. The immigration chief for Jamaica is a man by the name of George Eubcuks. who is the former chief of police at Port Antonio: Moore claims that they are very close personal friends.d. Moore is acquainted with a ran by the name of Mike Hedges, who is a nephew of Burke Hedges, the American who becaze Cuba's antassador to Chile some years ago. Mike lives in Kingston, and, if he is not a Battista sympathizer. might prove to be a very valuable connection. The fazily is re- ported to be quite wealthy, and would establish an excellent cover.4. Operational Considerationsa. In order to avoid the use of significant names. I Justructed Voore to refer to Manolo as George King. and the operatios of landing him in Cuba would be referred to as operatiouning. The most likely scheme seems to be to establish a suitable boat al Blue Hole. with the cover story to be that it belongs to Gerican friends of Robin Moore. Housing is available locally for a limited cumber of Cutans, with Moore being able to accommodate up to six on his own property. The local boat captain, George Munroe. could be employed as captain initially, to train the Cuban crew in the local marine conditions, as well as serving as an effectite cover. In my opinion, it will not be too difficult for persons to enter Jamaica without difficulty, provided they know a certain minisum amount of English.I think a suitable location could be found for radio transmission and reception facilities on the hills surrounding Blue Hole, but this would have to be examined by someone skilled in radio techniques. Mateo would be excellent.In summary, I would say that Robin Moore and his property and! buildings at Blue Hole would serve as an excellent tase of operations. but that the boat necessary for the operation would have to be acquired and equipped in the states and shipped down there, except for the remote possibility that a suitable boat could be found in Kingston. I think a headquarters could be established at small cost through Moore's good offices, and I think that Rudy would be a good choice to coordinate the initial operations the re.Jack Reed

# Political Prisoner in HospitalClémart Joseph Charles was taken from the National Penitentiary in Port-au-Prince to Haiti's General Hospital. The former Duvalier banker has been jailed since 15.1 "for political reasons" No proper trial was held.Mr. Charles is suffering from an acute liver infection and the physicians attending him have warned that he will die unless he's allowed to travel abroad for special treatment.This isn't the first time Mr. Charles was taken from his cell to a hospital. Last year he was rushed to Haiti's military hospital for treatment of the same disease.Mrs. Charles has been allowed to visit her husband.This is the first time the Duvalier regime has acted half humanely with a political prisoner. It's been pointed out that Marie-Denise Duvalier Dominique, a friend of Mr. Charles, has often interceded for him.Army chief-of-staif Jean-Baptiste Hilaire will soon be replaced, say military sources in Port-au-Prince. His likely replacement? Col. Roger St. Albain.On a lighter note, the General ran for cover on September 22 while there was a review on the Palace grounds to commemorate Duvalier's "election" in 1957. Accidentally the loaded automatic wezpen of a militiaman went off Many officials, General Hilaire among them, scrambled for protection, Jean-Claude, his mother and their body-guard General Gracia Jacques were trembling, but they kept standing, says a-source that was standing close to them.201 357029"Haitian Cloverrateni4-11ex 74Climaid CHARLES

The exile was aware that his information would reach the U.S. Government.1.  Clemard Joseph Charles, former president of the Commercial Bank of Haiti who has been held political prisoner since April 1970 on charges of plotting against the government, was recently transferred from jail to the general hospital in Port-au-Prince. Charles is said to be dying of cirrhosis of the liver and was transferred to the hospital on orders of Madame Simone Ovide Duvalier, mother of Haitian President Jean Claude Duvalier.2.  Doctors recommended that Charles be sent abroad for proper medical treatment but me. Duvalier authorized his transfer only to the local hospital. According to close relatives, this occurred only after Minister of Interior and Defense Paul B1 anchet told the President and his mother that he would refuse to become involved in this case and would not sign any papers required of him as Minister of Interior certifying that Charles had died in prison. Relatives of Charles still intend to press for his removal fron the country.3.
