Attachment to DO/HS Memorandumdated 26 August 1964SECRETSECRETAttachment No. 1 toDO/HS Memorandum dated26 August 1964Operational and Cl-- Information1. Subject was mentioned in two KAPOK Dispatches by the Chief of Station, San Juan, Puerto Rico, as a possible candidate through whom leads to persons in the Dominican Republic could be developed and targeted against the intelligence service and the ruling circles there. In HPSA-1223 and HPSA-941, both dated 11 September 1956, Subject is mentioned as a good person for the beginning of covert operations in the Dominican Republic because he was well known and considered discreet by those who knew him. Because of his businesses in the U.S. and the Caribbean area, Subject had many persons working for him over a period of years who owed him some allegiance. Subject's companies did much business in the Dominican Republic. SKEDADILE, the Station's contact, was instructed to approach him indirectly through a cut-out who was Angel FONSECA Jiminez, a personal friend of SKEDADILE, a member of the Puerto Rican legislature, a senior member of the Republican (Statehood) Party, and very close to Subject.2. Information in Subject's PRQ II revealed that he was assigned the cryptonym SKEVER/1. The case officer was introduced to Subject by one Francisco A. LOPEZ Dominguez, the U.S. Collector of Customs-in-Charge in Puerto Rico on a strictly social basis in March 1950 (this was to be Subject's cover, and there was no monetary remuneration). Since Subject was considered a loyal U.S. citizen, he was made witting of KUBARK's interest in persons in the Dominican Republic who might lead to the target. He accepted to assist KUBARK in this endeavor enthusiastically. Although it was known that Subject once served as an honorary Vice Consul for Sweden, a common practice for prominent businessmen in Latin America, he was not known to have any connections with a foreign intelligence service. His value to KUBARK lay in his personal knowledge of persons and facts in the Dominican Republic, particularly individuals who travelled there for legal reasons, as well as his social and political status. The case officer described Subject as "intelligent," "well educated," and "a political leader whose real strength is in his being as a enlightened capitalist." Because he was (and is) so prominent, and could not withstand too much weakening of his position, he should not be used "directly" in any operation (in the opinion of the case officer who wrote the PRQ evaluation).SECRET

SECRETAttachment No. 1 toDO/HS Memorandum csted26 August 19643. According to information in C-82943 (CI/OA File), VE/3/DRAR requested a POA on 4 May 1960 for permission to allow the use of Subject to "provide useful information on, er through witting or unwitting employees, courier access to the Dominican Republic." Msults of Green List No. 100351 dated 4 May 1960 were "no pertinent identifiable information" on 17 May 1960, and a field trace reply of that date was "ne derogatory traces." The POA was granted 31 May 1960 and the OA on 11 September 1960. These clearances were car celled on 21 and 24 March 1961, respectively, in notices to CI/OA by VH/3/DRAB, Reasons for these cancellations were not given. On 24 Agust 1961, WE/4/Cuba_requested_a statement of the OA, for use as an informant. The request was granted by CI/OA on 11 September 1961.4. An investigation report by the Office of Security in 1960 was not unfavorable. It did make reference to infor mation in an FBI report dated 19 May 1960, in Washington, D.C., which also appeared in the Subject's 201 file. This report contained the following information:a) In 1951, as leader of the Statehood Party, Subject attached compulsory military service for Puerto Rico, calling it taxation without representation. In 1952, however, he was one of the Statehood Party leaders who made public statements of their pride in their U.S. citizenship, their desire to live permanently under the U.S. flag, and their recom mendation that pardon and clemency be granted in meritorious cases of persons accused in connection with the nationalist revolt in 1950.b) In 1952, Subject reportedly offered a job to Elizer Curet Cuevas, a Communist Party member in Puerto Rico (source not specified):c) The FBI received information (source not specified) in 1952 and 1953 that Subject received mail from one Juan Antonio Corretjer, a former member of the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party.SECRET

# SECRETAttachment No. 1 toDQ/H8 Memorandum dated26 August 1964d) At the request of the Justice Department, the FBI conducted an inquiry, under the Anti-trust Laws of the U.S., into the cement industry in San Juan, Puerto Rico during December 1958. An Industrialist and financier, Subject reportedly controlled the cement industry in Puerto Rico. The Antitrust Division Files of the Department of Justice contain the results of the inquiry.5. The Chief of Station, San Juan, Puerto Rico, according to HP64-1969 dated 4 January 1964, met with Subject in Ponce on 26 December 1963. At this time, Subject told the Chief of Station that he was considering the construction of two sizable plants (cement and glass) in the Dominican Republic "as a means of augmenting official assistance through private enterprise." Subject felt that it was "imperative for all free nations of the Hemisphere to do all in their power to help the Dominican Republic become a true Democracy and deny it to the Communists. In this vital task, private capital must also participate actively." This is the conviction that prompted Subject to consider building the plants.According to a memorandum to CI/OA dated 27 May 1960, from WH/3/DRAM, the inquiry had no effect on its proposed operational use.6. One document in the 201, UPGA-12398 dated 7 November 1963, reveals that Subject was a member of a group of Latin Americans who notionally subsidized AKRROLL (probably an asset of WH/SA). JUAN 0404 (IN 33997), 7 December 1961, one of a number of cables in Subject's 201 file, indicates that Subject took intense interest in Cuban affairs and was more than willing to obtain information on Cuban elements.7. According to a document in Subject's 201, the Central Cover Staff had a record, Page 2128 dated 11 May 1960 in their file #3-3 in connection with WH/3/DRAM's POA/CA, but had no active or direct interest in Subject.# SECRET

During general conversation, SKEWER-1 said he was considering the construction of two sizeable plants (cement and glass) in the Dominican Republic as a means of augmenting official assistance through private enterprise and asked COS's opinion of the venture. COS responded that this was personal decision for SKEWER-1 to make.3. SKEWER-1 said he felt that it was imperative for all free nations of the Hemisphere to do all in their power to help the Dominican Republic become a true democracy and to deny it to the Communists. In this vital task, he added, private capital must also participate actively. This personal conviction, he said, is what has prompted him to consider building the cement and glass plants.3. SKEWER-1 said that he believed the present GODR was democratically-oriented and would do a good job in the interval between the Junta reign and elections for a successor government.
