SECRET23. Approximately in July 19 I-1 had a second interview with "Nordicc in the presence of "Jim" and "Enrique."24. At the special request of the "friends," in September and October 1964 we sent forward reports on the officers of the Revolutionary Armed Porces in the six provinces, including any background data and intoma- tion we had on them. Afterwards, the work of making Summaries of Infor- nation was intensified.25. During August-September-October 1964 picket lines were formed in front of the airline companies that had fiizats to Mexico, and in front of airports, Mexican tourist agencies, and Hexican Consulates as a pro-1 test against the Mexican Government and its policy with relation to Cuba This was done in Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Kiani, wew York and other place in the United States. This was done daily in Miami and New York. On different occasions pickets were placed in front of theaters which were showing Mexican films. in October pickets were placed in Miami and kiam Beach and propaganda was hanced out at the time of the holding of the ASTA (Thirty-fourth World Congress of Travel Agencies).26. In November 1954 we began to pass information to the "friends" atou the training camps which were being opened in New Jersey to prepare and train people for the invasion of Haiti. We infiltrated sore of our peop into this group and thus kept informed of averything that went on.27. At the end of 1954 and up to April 1965 we continued to make studies Among them were those on the Cuban Telephone Enterprise, the Department of Port and Coastal Vigilance, censorship of correspondence, Cuban natior al budgets 1954/65, radio programs heard in Cuba.28. At the request of the "friends" we collaborated in the reception ac. tivities for Juanita CASTRO and obtained the support of the exile organi. zations for rallies organized in Miami and liew York.29. In December 1964 we organized a great propaganda campaign, mobilizi all the Hasonic lodzes so they would back the proposal of the Masons who were supporting LOPEZ Mateos at the UN.30. We acted as a support mechanism to the "friends" in the matter con- cerning Hrs. LIPPERT.31. In the first months of 1965 an attempt was made on three different occasions to carry out Rescue Operation No. 1.32. During the first months of 1965 we kept informed about the situation in the Dominican Republic and the participation of the Cubans and Domini; cans in the Miami area in what was going on.33. During this whole period, in view of the division existing among the exiles and of the formation of so many new exile groups, we infiltrated our agents into all the organizations and reported on all the mover of leaders of these groups and their activities, on all their state and action plans. Our aim and purpose was to report everyusing about the movements of the Cubans and the exile groups.34. During this period we also began carding all our reports for the

# MemorandumTO : Mrs. Sue PanzerFROM : Chief, DO DivisionSUBJECT: Meeting with Rolando MasferrerDATE: 18 August 19641. In accordance with our conversation, I am sending you the facts as I know them regarding the 7 August meeting in New York City between Rolando Masferrer and Averell Clark.2. Apparently Masferrer knows Stanley Ross, the Editor of *El Tiempo*, a Spanish-language newspaper published in New York. The office is at 78 Fifth Avenue and the telephone number is WA 4-2750. Possibly Masferrer did not previously know Ross. But at any rate, either on his own or through someone else, he got in touch with him in late July or early August and said that he wanted to be put in touch with an American with an aviation and military background. I do not know too much about Ross at the moment except that he has had considerable Latin American experience and would be a logical person for any Latino to approach. It would be very easy to obtain additional evidence on him if desired.3. I am attaching for your information a list of the stockholders in *El Tiempo, Inc*, to provide some indication of who is behind Ross. In addition, we have a list of all the senior officers of *El Tiempo*.4. Ross knew of Clark through the Hitchcocks listed, as you will note, as stockholders. Mrs. Margaret Hitchcock is Clark's aunt, while Thomas Hitchcock III is his first cousin as presumably, is William Hitchcock. During the war Clark was an outstanding fighter pilot, having flown with the RAF through the roughest days of the Battle of Britain, and thereafter chifted to the Americans with whom he flew many missions as a P-47 pilot. He is still in the Air Force Reserve.5. At Ross's request Clark met Masferrer at the *El Tiempo* office in New York City on 7 August. Ross left the room so that the session was only between Clark and Masferrer. As a pro-Batista Cuban, Masferrer was known to us at the time of the Bay of Pigs. In fact, at one point just before the invasion, the U.S. Department of Justice arrested him and put him in jail in Florida for violation of the provisions of the Neutrality Act.
[104-10176-10068.pdf — page 5]
6. Masferrer alleged to Clark that he was representing some twenty Cuban exile organizations, and that he was working with a Haitian, Charles Forben, head of an anti-Duvalier organization known as "Capois La Mort." Forben allegedly asked Masferrer to help his organization by leasing or buying a PBY-5 aircraft for use against Duvalier. Masferrer claimed that Forben's group was in a position to take control of the Ile de la Gonave.. an island just off the west coast of Haiti in the gulf north of Port au Prince. It is conceivable that this is the wrong island since Clark did not have the name of the islani in question, but based on the description of its location by Masferrer, I am assuming this to be the island involved. At any rate, in return for help from Masferrer, Forben was to be asked to let Masferrer and some of his Cuban exiles use the island in question as a base from which to harrass the eastern end of the Island of Cuba.7. Clark told Masferrer that as a member of the Air Force Reserve, he would have to report the conversation to the USG and could not do anything without clearing with the USG. Masferrer said that he had no objection to this, particularly with regard to the activities of Forben and his group, but he asked that Clark not mention his intention to harrass Cuba, since he maintained that the USG would forbid this as being against USG policy. Clark said that Masferrer would have to leave to him what matters he chose to discuss with the USG. It was then agreed that Clark could reach Masferrer through Ross's office for about a week, and thereafter could pass a message to him through Ross.8. Clark got in touch with me because I had known him during the war; I had known his family for many years, and one of his closest friends, James B. Watriss, is a cousin of mine and was, until about a year ago, associated with the Agency. Incidentally, I believe that Clark has had some discussions with SOD with the idea of possibly being used in connection with special operations.

On 20 August 1965 an associate of Rolando Arendio Masferrer   Rojas, former Cuban senator, said that Masferrer is in touch   with General Leon Cantave regarding a plot to invade Haiti   from the Dominican Republic. Masferrer is trying to recruit   unmarried Cubans in New York who are willing to go to the   Dominican Republic and eventually to live in Haiti. He does   not want Cubans who would want to return to the United States   because of family or for any other reason.2. Masferrer asked Antonio Rojas Masferrer, his cousin, to manage   a farm in the Dominican Republic which will be used as a   training and staging area for about 100 men which Masferrer   will recruit. This group will be enlarged by men which Cantave   has in the Dominican Republic.3. Cantave is negotiating with Dominicans to determine whether   the recruits from New York will travel to the Dominican   Republic with visas or whether they will enter the country   illegally.CONFIDENTIALCONTROLLED DISSEM
