SECRET12 June 1967MEMORANDUM FOR:FROM: Kenneth T. RipleySUBJECT: Assessment of Clemard Joseph-Charles.Clemard Joseph-Charles, President of the Commercial Bank of Haiti and President of the Haitian Chamber of Commerce, is the source..For four years Charles has tried to gain U.S. support for himself as successor to President Duvalier.He is an opportunist of the first water-shrewd, capable and unscrupulous. He has played Duvalier's game to the hilt, often entrusted with missions abroad which were, in effect contrary to U.S. government interests. (He played a principal role in the attempt to smuggle B-26 aircraft out of the U.S. for Duvalier's use. In that connection he went to Arizona to try to purchase U.S. Air Force surplus planes, using U.S. citizens of suspicious nature as his agents.)Charles has been forced in recent months to make leans to the Duvalier government, the last one having been in the vicinity of $700,000. As a result he claims that his bank is in a precarious position. Therefore, he wants out.Charles has many business interests in Haiti apart from his banking operation (essential oils, sisal etc.). Haitian exiles estimate that as many as 4,000 persons may be dependent upon him for their livelihood. (This includes dependents of his employees).Charles is poorly regarded by the State Department. The department's stance towards him as a successor to Duvalier has been even more negative than is customary.The current report turned in by Louis BRUN, his representative in New York, appears to be nothing more than an extension of his attempts to panic the U.S, and thus to gain for himself support as the lessor of a number ofSECRET201-357029

His adherents in the army are not identified and are suspect.His referral in this, and in a previous report, to Castro and Balaguer as his compotitors in a race to overthrow Duvalier is considered to be nonsense. All this is calculated to force the U.8. hand in his favor.His attempt: to find a channel to the Pentagon are in the pattern of his action for several years. Should be succeed he might be convincing enough to cause trouble.SECRET

SOURCE GRADINGS ARY DEFINITIVE, APPRAISAL OF CONTENT IS TENTATIVESOURCE: A foreign businessman with wide scutaers in Fort-au-Prince who is believed.to report to learns. Chis informatica was'obtainch from a close friend of mind who juubelly was aware that it would reach U.S. cfficials.1. Clemard Joseph Charles, president of the Commercial Bank of Haiti, claims that since Maj. Colson (thra), a close friend, has replaced Cont. Harry Tassy in the Presidential Quard, he (Charles) now has an access to arms and amminition in the bassuant of the Palace and is in a position to carry out a coup against Prosilent Francois Duvalier "in the near future."   Although no definite dute has been set yet for the coup, Charles is convinced that it must be carried out "within the next few months" to save Haiti from economic and political chaos. Charles, and especially his military friends, feel that 1967 is the year of decision.2. Although Col. Flare Louis (fr), commander of the Dessalines Barracks, was not cand as a fellow-s, Charles believes that Pierre-Louis knows of and approves his plats to overthrow Duvelier, and that he (Charles) "saitrols" the Dessalinas Derracks through Pierre-Louis. Col. Octave Caillerd is one of the key military figurer of whom Charles pins his hopes. Caillard is thoroughly disillusions with Davalier and is willing to cocperate. Caillard fears that if Duvalier remains in power, Haiti's eccnczy will be samletely rưnst and Haitian exiles receiving guerrilla training in Cuba may attempt to seize power in Haiti.3. Charles has the support of Capt. Preval (fau), 3 of the Presidential Guard, and realizes that high-ranking officers loyal to Duvalier could cause bloodshed; Caarles and his associates expect violence during the initial stages of the cap.4. In addition to ships of the Haition Coast Guard, Charles now has the use of a 352-ton converted lanting crart (LC) which normally sails between Jamaica and Port-au-Prince carrying flour, fuel oil, etc.S-E-C-R-E-TNO PORNTON TEAM/CONIncluded from automalle ading and21

Charles had no contact with Haitian exile groups until early Mey 1967, when he sent an emissary to New York City to talk to Louis Sansaricq, a prominent anti-Duvalier exile, whose entire family was killed by Duvalier's henchmen. Sansaricq agreed to support Charles in a final showdown with Duvalier and promised to line up some of his fellow exiles to support Charles. A close friend of Charles was planning to go to New York in mid-May 1967 ostensibly to discuss port development projects in Port-au-Prince with a U.S. construction firm; however, the real purpose of the trip is to contact Haitian exiles to gain their support for Charles.6. On 19 May 1967, a group of prominent Haitian exiles held a meeting in New York City to celebrate Haitian Flag Day. One of the organizers of the meeting was Dr. Jumelle (fnu), a medical doctor whose brother was a former Haitian Minister of Finance and who was killed by Duvalier. Another exile who attended the meeting was Vixamar (fnu)? who claims to be a legal advisor to the Republic of Chad and who said that he was going to be the next president of Haiti. The group of Haitian exiles, believed to call itself the "National Organization of Haitian Exiles", has some members who back Charles.7. Following are prominent Haitians who Charles believes must be eliminated after the coup:a. Col. Gracia Jacques of the Presidential Guard - Jacques, who is no longer blindly loyal to Duvalier, will be needed in the execution of the coup, and can be bought; however, once power is in the hands of a military Junta and Charles, Jacques will be eliminated.b. Luc Desir, head of the Tonton-Macoute.c. Clovis Desinor, Minister of Finance - an "anarchist" with presidential aspirations who has an "underground movement in Haiti."d. Gen. Gerard Constant, Chief of Staff.e. Col. Jacques Laroche, Deputy Chief of Staff - a "convinced Communist."8. If the coup is successful, Charles hopes to give Andre Theard, former Haitian Ambassador to the United States, a diplomatic post. Theard is strongly pro-U.S. Charles regards Gerard Philippeaux, Minister of Health, as a very sick man with no further political aspirations.9. Close friends of Charles are convinced that Charles has no choice but to carry out a coup with or without foreign help, and that his chances of success are good because several of Duvalier's now appointees to key positions are friends of Charles; also, that Charles must act soon because the morale of many of Duvalier's military and civilian supporters has reached an all-time low and because the Haitian Treasury is almost empty.Headquarters Comments1.
