AMBIDDY-1 CONTACTED JAMES: D. ZABOTH 4 MARCH, SAID
HE CLOSING OUT ALL HIS STATIONKEEPERS IN NICARAGUA, DID
NOT WANT. TO: ABANDON WEAPONS TO FALL INTO WRONG HANDS, NOR
TO GIVE THEM TO NIC GOVT. GENERAL SOMOZA KNEW AMWORLD.. WAS
LEAVING BEHIND SOME RESERVE EQUIPMENT AND WOULD KEEP
ENOUGH WEAPONS FOR LOCAL SECURITY. HE DID NOT KNOW NUMBERS
AND TYPES REMAINING. AMBIDDY-1 ASKED IF WOFACT WISHED TO
RECOVER WEAPONS, OTHERWISE HE WOULD HAVE TO DUMP THEM IN
OCEAN. ZABOTH, AMBIDDY-1 AND AMJAVA-4, WHO IN MANAGUA ON
OTHER BUSINESS, VISITED BLUFF ISLAND 6 MARCH TO CHECK
SITUATION. IF HQS WISHES RECOVER WEAPONS, MOST FEASIBLE
METHOD IS BY AIR. A CARIBOU OR C-123 TYPE AIRCRAFT COULD
LAND ON BLUFF STRIP, LOAD WEAPONS AT NIGHT AND FLY THEM
OUT NEXT MORNING. IF HQS DOES NOT WISH RECOVER WEAPONS,
AMBIDDY-1 COULD BE TOLD TO MAKE OWN ARRANGEMENTS TO DUMP
WEAPONS AT SEA.
5. DESPITE AMBIDDY-1 DESIRE NOT INFORM SOMOZA ABOUT
ARMS CACHE, COS FEELS THAT SOMOZA SHOULD BE INFORMED IF

HQS DECISION IS THAT ARMS SHOULD BE RECOVERED.

HE WOULD AGREE TO AIRCRAFT PICKUP AS PROPOSED ABOVE. IN
STATION OPINION BLACK RECOVERY WITHOUT SOMOZA KNOWLEDGE
TOO RISKY. STATION ALSO FEELS THESE WEAPONS SHOULD BE
REMOVED FROM CENTRAL AMERICA LEST THEY FALL INTO WRONG HANDS.

terminated in December 1966. The formal Agency relation-
ship with ARTIME was severed in January 1967. ARTIME"S
Deputy in the MRR was Rafael Aurelio QUINTERO Ibarbia
and the MRR Treasurer was Sixto R. MESA-Aloma. Oscar
Jesus VILA Mascot was an MRR trainee and was not in the
line of command for the MRR. Edgar SOPO was involved
in various MRR operations. Maritime Bam was utilized

to this Agency; and who would have had the opportunity of
diverting these funds to their personal accounts, were Manuel

support was terminated effective 1 May 1965 but support for
political operations was restored in June 1965 at the rate
of $15,000 per month. This was scaled down to $5,000 a
month in September 1965, to $3,000 a month in June 1966, and
terminated on 31 December 1966. Artime accepted this
termination gracefully in a meeting on 13 January 1967.

recently with Robert Shaw when Shaw was COS, Managua.

C. SCHICK WISHES TO IMPROVE RELATIONS BETWEEN NICARAGUA AND COSTA RICA
AS WELL AS WITH VENEZUELA. HE SAID HE WANTS TO CONCENTRATE HIS EFFORTS ON INTER-
NATIONAL RELATIONS, PARTICULARLY WITH CENTRAL AMERICAN COUNTRIES, AND THUS HELP
ESTABLISH THE CENTRAL AMERICAN COMMON MARKET.

D. SCHICK IS CERTAIN IN HIS OWN MIND THAT LUIS SOMOZA HAS NO INTENT
OF RETURNING TO POLITICS, AND ADCED THAT HE, SCHICK, ASKED GENERAL "TACHO" SOMOZA
TO 
STAY ON AS CHIEF OF THE ARMED FORCES. HE EXPLAINED THIS AS GOOD POLITICS, SAYING
SOMOZA'S 
PRESENCE WOULD KEEP THE MILITARY IN CHECK AND ALLOW TIME FOR IMPLEMENTING
REFORMS. HE HOPED THAT ON THE EXPIRATION OF HIS, SCHICK'S, TERM OF OFFICE, NICARAGUA
WILL HAVE 
PROGRESSED TO THE POINT WHERE SOMOZA'S PRESENCE WOULD NO LONGER BE
NECESSARY IN THE ARMED FORCES;
.
E. NICARAGUA, LIKE ALL OTHER COUNTRIES OF LATIN AMERICA IS DISPOSED TO HELP
THE ANTI-CASTRO CAUSE CLANDESTINELY, BUT SCHICK ADDED THAT SUCH HELP IS CONDITIONED
UPON THE IMPLIED APPROVAL OF PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY. IF SUCH APPROVAL IS GIVEN.
ARTIME CAN COUNT ON NICARAGUA'S SUPPORT.
5. SUBSEQUENTLY, AS AN ADDITIONAL CONDITION, SCHICK SAID THAT IF PRESIDENT
KENNEDY APPROVES, AN AMERICAN REPRESENTATIVE MUST BE SENT TO CENTRAL AMERICA TO
COORDINATE THIS EFFORT.

from Salvador and they (Salvadorana) needed eight pilots
and wanted to consult with AMBIDDY. A Salvadoran visa
had been authorized. COS Managua instructed AMBIDDY to
proceed to San Salvador and obtain in on Salvador
war plans. Once he acquired this info AMBIDDY was to
inform the Salvadorans that he could not be involved in
any way. AMBIDDY agreed and told COS Managua that he would
contact COS on his return from the trip to San Salvador

1. Attached (USC) for the information of Headquarters is a
copy of a memorandum prepared for the LNPURE Chief on 12 May 1969.
This memorandum sets forth information recerved 
that day by the
COS from AMBIDDY-1 who is considering going into a 
dry dock 
venture
in Corinto with Jose Maria ZELAYA, private secretary 
to President
Somoza. ZELAYA has cabinet rank. He is believed by many 
to be
pro-Communist although, as in the case of similar reports 
about
Francisco J. LAINEZ, no real proof of these 
allegations seems 
to
be produced.
2. When shown this memorandum, the LNPURE Chief said he
thought it quite likely that ZELAYA is strongly anti-American
as reported by AMBIDDY.
3. AMBIDDY says that for the first time he recently heard
Somoza utter unfavorable words about the United 
States and
AMBIDDY "wondered" to the COS if ZELAYA could be 
exerting 
some
evil influence on Somoza.
4. The Station will seek to draw AMBIDDY out at length on
this matter at an opportune time.

The Ambassador
Political Attaché
Statements of Jose Maria "Chema" ZELAYA
12 May 1969
1. On 12 May I was contacted by a close friend of mine
who is engaged in negotiations with "Chema" ZELAYA which
may lead to the two forming a business partnership. While
my source is not normally a source of intelligence informa-
tion, I have found him to be a good observer and to be
reliable. He told me that ZELAYA told him the following
at a meeting on 9 May.
2. The ROCKEFELLER visit is merely a political maneuver
on the part of President NIXON to furnish an excuse if
anything goes wrong in Latin America. It is preposterous
to expect Governor ROCKEFELLER to learn anything about a
country in twenty four hours. ROCKEFELLER will go back to
the United States, make his report to NIXON, and then go about
his normal duties. NIXON will adopt those recommendations
regarding U.S. policy for Latin America that are agreeable
to him, paying no attention to the rest. If anything goes
wrong, NIXON can pin the blame on ROCKEFELLER.
In this way
he has a scapegoat and also has an opportunity to lessen the
prestige of a potential political rival. No possible good can
come from this mission.
3. ZELAYA said that he has managed to obtain the blessing
(bendición) of the Catholic Church. Now he is working on
the blessing of the American Ambassador. In this respect he.
has proposed setting up youth centers around the country--
places where youngsters can go to read good books, play
ping pong, etc. -- and the American Ambassador is interested.
4. My friend is of tha opinion that ZELAYA is strongly
anti-American.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Manuel ARTIME Buesa
1. On 18 April I saw Subject again briefly and
told him that I would appreciate an opportunity to talk
to him alone. As he was about to leave town, he
promised to contact me again on his next trip to Managua.
He phoned me on 28 April. I picked 
him up that night
and drove him up to my house where 
we had a long 
conversa-:
tion over a couple of steaks and a good bottle 
of wine.
2. I told Subject that I had heard his name mentioned
in connection with such unsavory activity as fomenting
revolution in Panama and narcotics trafficking
--from 
people
who don't know him. My reply to any such 
dirty-mouthing
is that Subject is a hyperactive type who keeps 
in 
contact
with all sorts of people, some of whom 
may be involved in
unsavory activity. This does not 
mean Subject is involved
.
Indeed, I was sure he was not.
3. The provocation yielded desired results and in
the ensuing conversation Subject gave me a 
detailed
explanation of his present activities and 
financial 
situation.
4. His business dealings are carried on under his
company, known as Central South International
, Inc. He

Sales of livestock (rows) to Nicaragua. These

Sales of Florida real estate.
Subject is not licensed to make such sales
in the U.S. but can sell to persons abroad.
(About two years ago he was selling lots
west of Miami near where a new airport is
to be built.)
5. Subject is now involved--on this trip--in a deal
with President SOMOZA to furnish well drilling and pumping
equipment for an agricultural irrigation system. SOMOZA
was approached by a British firm which somehow wangled a U.S.-
guaranteed 5 1/2 percent loan to underwrite the same scheme.
This low interest was better than Subject's contacts could
obtain initially and it appeared that the contract would
go to the British outfit. However, Subject's stateside
partner, a South Carolina legislator (state level), who
operates a business known as INTERGROW, managed to swing
the same deal and was due in town on 29 April to talk with
SOMOZA. SOMOZA told Subject he would give the business to
Subject if he and his INTERGROW friend could equal the British.
offer. As of 28 April prospects for consumation of a deal
looked good.
In
6. Subject is also trying to work out a deal with
SOMOZA regarding export of Nicaraguan meat. Previous
dealings with a man from S&W fell through when this chap
tried to "go around" Subject by dealing direct with Nicaraguan
neat exporters. At present Subject is dealing with SOMOZA
to buy meat from CARNIC and IFAGAN to sell in Miami to
the Northwestern Meat Company, owned by Elpidio NUÑEZ.
return for his cooperation in the meat business, SOMOZA is
to be given a 38% slice of the profita, The remainder would
be split up as follows: 16% to Edgarde BUTTARI, 13% to
Frank CONDOM, and 33% to Subject. SOMOZA is trying to
figure out some way to get his bite without paying U.S.
income taxes so the matter of spreading the profits is still
up in the air. Central South International inc. has an
account at the Capital National Bank of Miami; Subject showed
m² an irrevocable letter of credit in the amount of $48,000
issued by this bunk to be used for the meat export deal.

of money to tide him over. These are Sixto MESA, in
the construction business in Miami; Jose Luis GONZALEZ,
in the lumber business; and "Tacho" SOMOZA. Subject plans
to pay back all three every cent they have given him. He
considers these handouts as loans. He is now trying
to consolidate his debts through a loan from Diners Club.
He is paying on his home mortgage at a rate of 5 3/4 percent,
quite low by present-day standards. Two Cuban Negro friends
of many-years standing live with him at his home. They
are taxi drivers and each pays $25 a week to help defray
household costs. One of these loyal retainers fired the
first shot during the Pilon sugar mill raid pulled off by
Subject's followers several years ago.
9. Contrary to popular belief, Subject does not own
a piece of the Vizcaya restaurant in Miami although he
could have been a partner had he made a $500 investment
when the enterprise began. The owners are Oscar VILA,
Aramis PIÑON, and the cook, named Tomás (Inu). VILA
and PIÑON were with Subject in the Bay of Pigs invasion
and both are old friends. VILA has been rumored involved
in narcotics but Subject doesn't think he is. Some time
ago the Miami Herald sent its lady gourmet reporter to do a
story on the Vizcaya. She found it to her liking and wrote
a favorable story but some unidentified character at the
Herald told her that narcotics were pushed at the Vizcaya
and that Subject was one of the owners. Publisher KNIGHT
of the Herald had an investigation run before allowing the
gourmet reporter's story to be printed. The restaurant
was given a clean bill of health and the story was run.
10. One of the persons most prominently involved in
blackening Subject's name is Rolando MASFERRER. Subject
classifies him as the scum of Batista's Cuba. One gets the
impression that Subject would be unhappy if MASFERRER, who
Subject says has been involved in narcotics trafficking,
were to say anything good about him.

11. Subject's only other possible connection with
narcotics involves a report he gave to Mr. DREW of the
FBI. This was as follows: Subject has a friend named
Carlos ARMAS who is skipper of a shrimp boat the "Sea
Cat". ARMAS lives at 1800 NW 34th Street, Miami. At sea
in British waters (around some British island or cay in the
Caribbean). ARMAS has "fraternized" with a Cuban shrimper
"El Costero" captained by Antonio LOPEZ. LOPEZ has told
ARMAS that his boat, "El Costero", often carries aboard a
small, very fast speedboat. While anchored in British waters
this speedboat, with a crew of 3, is put overboard with a
"package" on board. It disappears only to return sometime
later minus the package but with large quantities of money.
It then refuels from "El Costero" and heads for Cuba on its
own power. Subject and ARMAS think it probable that the
package contains narcotics and that Fidel CASTRO is raising
money this way. Mr. DREW of the FBI told Subject to tell
his story to the Coast Guard. Subject did but the CG said
they were not interested because the smuggling was taking
place in British waters. As far as Subject knows nothing has
ever been done about this matter.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Manuel ARTIME Buesa
1. ARTIME comes to Managua frequently, always using
LANICA Airlines and frequently flying over Cuba. He is
aware of the possibility of a highjacking and says that he
would never make it out of the Havana airport alive if
the CASTRO Government were to get hold of him.
2. He explains his trips as legitimate business.
One of his enterprises lies in obtaining fatigue uniforms,
canteens, web gear, and similar equipment and supplies
for the Nicaraguan National Guard. Another enterprise,
in which he was involved a year or so ago, involved lumber
and cabinet woods which he hoped to export from Nicaragua
to the States. He dealt with a Nicaraguan businessman
named MOLINA in this matter. It seems to have fallen through.
At one point last year (1968) I heard that ARTIME was trying
to serve as middleman for investments by KRUPP interests in
Germany here. I have heard no more about this. A more
recent line is Nicaraguan beef for export to the States.
He says that he has made contact with the top man of the
S & W restaurants in the States. This man, after checking
samples of Nicaraguan beef, says he will buy all he can get.
The supplier at this end would be CARNIC, a meat packing
enterprise owned by President SOMOZA. (There is no doubt
ARTIME could find a ready market in the States but he may
be stymied by the import quotas, especially since Nicaragua
over-exported to the States in 1968 and had troubles as a
result.)
1.
3. ARTIME drops by to see me at my home often although
not on every trip. His vidite to me have been less frequent
of late. We have easy rapport. He knows who I represent.

He is usually accompanied by Jose FERNANDEZ de la Torre,
Manager of Distribuidora Inter-Americana, S. A. "Pepe"
is a Cuban and a close friend of mine. He is ARTIME's
closest friend in Nicaragua. ARTIME often stays at his
home. On a couple of occasions ARTIME has been by to
see me with another mutual Cuban friend, Primitivo
ABLANEDO, who used to live at El Bluff on the East Coast.
"El Gallego" ABLANEDO now lives in Managua and makes his
living renting out dump trucks and construction and hauling
equipment. On one occasion ARTIME came by with a Cuban I
believe was named VILA. Mirta PADRON, another mutual
Cuban friend (she teaches Spanish at the American Embassy)
tells me that VILA owns a restaurant in Miami but that
ARTIME has no connection with this enterprise. A couple
of times ARTIME has come by with Frank CONDOM, & short,
quiet, red-faced Cuban who owns some jewelry stores in
Miami. CONDOM is now pretty well-off financially and is
a good friend and business associate of "Bebe" REBOZO,
who, in turn, is a close friend of President NIXON. I
believe CONDOM and, perhaps REBOZ0, may be involved in the
meat deal.
.4. ARTIME always comes with someone when he visits
me--not because he feels need for a bodyguard as some
suspect, but simply because he still doesn't know how to
drive a car and I live some distance out of town. Our
visits are pleasant, involve a scotch or two at most.
The last two times ARTIME has not had anything to drink.
We talk no operations or other such business. My personal
views on dealing with CASTRO, especially on howwe should
have dealt with him in the past, are rather hawkish and I
think ARTIME finds these views pleasant to his ear although
he is well aware that they are not "policy."
5. ARTIME told me some months ago--before the elections--
of meeting with "Bebe" REBOZO. The meeting was arranged
through CONDOM. ARTIME has not claimed to me to have met with
Mr. NIXON either before or after he assumed the presidency.
He has made it known, as is already well known, that REBOZO
is close to the President. He has also speculated that
REBOZO might have considerable say in formulation of the new

administration's Cuban policy. He expects this policy
to be more hard-line but has not specifically said that
REBOZO has said this would be so. He recently told me
that some of my ideas on enforcing the economic blockade
had been passed on to REBOZO.
6. In response to my queries as to what direction
ARTIME said in 
March 
1969
the new Cuba policy might take,
that he did not expect the NIXON administration to address
itself to the Cuban problem before May of this year.
Then he expects a concerted effort to make the economic
blockade work. If that does not yield results, he expects
that a go-ahead will be given for the resumption of Cuban

such operations.

as outlined in MANAGUA 6752 of 23 October 1968

8. ARTIME is still as charming as ever, lot's of fun
to be around socially--full of jokes, anecdotes, etc.
He has not lost faith, is one of the few of what have been
termed elsewhere "the old exile hacks" who have not 
given
up.
He really does seem determined to play a leading role
in unseating CASTRO. he is beginning to go to fat a 
bit.
I saw him in a bathing suit not long ago 
and thought that
he would do well to get into trim if he hopes 
to lead in
any military operation.
ARTIME has never made any discernable efforts to
pry secrets from me; indeed, he seem to have taken special
pains not to do so. He is mature and

Current Rumors in PBRUMEN Exile Community
ACTION REQUIRED - REFERENCES
M:CR
FFB 2400
BOOMICRO. SE ?.
:
1. As usual the first month of 1969 featured a large number of rumors
making the rounds in the PBRUMEN exile community. While we normally tend
to ignore such rumors, we are forwarding a couple of tidbits because they
relate to GPVALIANT.
2. The first of these rumors deals with a new group which has pre-
sumably been formed for the purpose of trying to deal through GPVALIANT,
Among those in the group are Carlos Prio, Lincoln Rodon, Juan J. Remos,
Sergio Carbo, and Edgardo Butari. This group reportedly meets every Thurs-
day at different houses. The last meeting in January was held at the home
of Lincoln Rodon. At this meeting Prio presumably stated that Butari was
a better contact to GPVALIANT than is Emilio Nunez Portuando. The general
consensus was that Butari is a better contact because he is a business
partner of Bebe Roboso and everyone knows Reboso's influence with GPVALIANT.
The rumor mill has it that the group intends to pretend that it favors
political and democratic solutions to the PBRUMEN problem but that they
really seek armed intervention. In this same connection Father O'Farril
has recently told AMPALM-4 that AMBIDDY-1 is once more connected with WOFIRM
and that AMCORE-2 has joined him. The rumor mill says further that AMBIDDY-1
and AMCORE-2 are planning to open training camps once again with the tacit
encouragement of the above group. According to AMPALM-4 O'Farril himself
does not agree with the version of AMBIDDY-1 and AMCORE-2 wanting to estab-
lish training camps. O'Farril feels that the solution AMBIDDY-1 is looking
for is through agreements between LNFORT (GPVALIANT) and the Soviet Union.
3. WIBALDA has picked up information quite similar to that learned
through AMPALM-4. He also has reported the existence of this group and
said that they are collecting money from the refugees in order to buy arms
and equipment to overthrow AMTHUG-1. According to WIBALDA important mem-
bers of Alpha-66, Segundo Frente, DRE, Autenticon, and Ortodoxos are in-
volved even though these organizations themselves are not participating
as groups in the movement.

4. Another rumor has it that AMOTEX-59 is also conspiring in
plans for future arned action against PBRUMEN.
5. The above information is being forwarded strictly as unfounded
and unconfirmed rumors. We are passing it along only because it represents
another indication of what the exiles are expecting from GPVALIANT. Ke
find the rumor concerning AMBIDDY-1 particularly interesting and suspect
that it may be an outgrowth of the recent report we have received from
AMCHALK-1 that AMBIDDY-1 has been contacted by ACSI.

he was reported to be trying to organize
a commercial strike in Leon and Managua.
He was arrested in November 1960 as a known
conspirator in an attempted revolution and
for having been involved in the clandestine
movement of revolutionaries across the
Costa Rican border.
Jose FERNANDEZ de la Torre
On 2 March 1962 a report said he was a Cuban
refugee who talks anti-Communist but was
actually sent to Nicaragua to make Communist
propaganda. On 8 May 1965 he vouched for the
entry into Nicaragua of Jesus FERNANDEZ Suarez,
a Cuban (no OSN or Station traces). (Note:
FERNANDEZ is known personally to ZABOTH and to
the Chief of Station, whose opinions about frim
are that he is a Cuban businessman who is
both anti-Communist and anti-Castro because of
the loss of his business interests in Cuba.
His principal business in Cuba involved dis-
tribution of the products of Procter and Gamble,
the soap and chemical company. He is now
manager of Distribuidora Inter-Americana S.A...
an import/export and distribution firm in
Managua.) On 18 January 1967 the Guatemalan
Security Service requested traces on the subject,
along with a list of other Cubans. No reason
for the request was given to OSN.
Orlando CASTRILLO S., Bachiller
On 20 November 1965 he wrote a letter to La
Prensa, the opposition newspaper in Managua,
asking them for 30,000 copies of an anti-SOMOZA
caricature in order to sell them and raise funds
for university student grants.
German ARELLANO
On 17 January 1967 a report said he had bought
$5,000 worth of arms in Miami for illegal ship-
ment to Nicaragua, and they had been con-
fiscated by authorities at Miami. (Station card
shows subject's name as German ARELLANO Morales.
See JMWAVE-5188, 20 January 1967 and JMWAVE-5247,
24 January 1967 for further details of this re-
port.)
There are no OSN, SAC or Station traces on the other
persons mentioned in letter number 2 of the reference.
t
3. Both ZABOTH and the Chief of Station have discussed
with AMBIDDY-1 the "intelligence net" mentioned by the reference.
The stated Station position was "we are happy to maintain con-
tact with you and to discuss this matter from time to time on an
informal and personal basis, but the policy of our organization
is that we do not engage in intelligence activities in a friendly
country except in coordination with the local government.
Therefore, even though you assure us that General SOMOZA knows
and approves this activity, we would have to have a direct re-
quest from him before we could cooperate with you in any kind
of an official capacity." This appears to have sufficied to keep.
our lines open to those involved without committing us to do
anything more than listen.

2. Incidentally, my secretary Eugenio Claude spoke with
a friend named Pedro Pino who lives at 1132 W 71 St.. Hialeah,
Florida, 33012. PINO told him that his friend, Lourdes BELLO,
who lives at 1124 West 71 Pl.. Hialeah, Florida and who has lived
there for only a short while, has received correspondence which
must have been for the previous tenant at that address. This
correspondence came from Cuba and consisted of subversive propa-

Being that I was out and that my secretary knows Rafael LLANEZ

propaganda which so far has arrived,
3. I have received from my father, in Cuba, a note with
stage in which he tells me that he intends to leave Cuba
under a false name. His message is very clear;
I am trying to arrange that the "nucleus" of Gonzalito
Penaranda leaves 8oon. NUMBER IS 117838,
Of course, he is referring to the Airlift from Habana to Miami.
I ask you to inform me if you can do anything in this regard as I
think it is the last chance my parents have of leaving.
4. Please tell me if it is certain that Fidel intends to go
to EXPO 67 in Canada for the 26 of July as it has been rumored.
If he is going, I would like to know if Commander Vallejo will go
with him as his chief doctor. When I was imprisoned, I received
many messages from Vallejo telling me that he was not a Communist
and never would change.

Dear Jim:

Miami, 23 May 1967
QUESA, MANUEL FRANCIS
I have delayed the trip to Nicaragua until Wednesday
the 24th or Thursday the 25th, because the Nat Harrison
Company, which is financing my trip, wants me to take
some documents to Managua.
I am sending you the signed reciept herewith.
It looks like Roberto (our friend over there) wants
Ablanedo to stay on for a complete month in Nicaragua.
If it is going to be that way then I will need the money_
for this month also. If he stays it is because Roberto
orders him, and if Roberto orders him to stay, then
Roberto should pay.'
I inform you of the following:
MICROFILMED
SEP 1967
DOC. MICRO. BER.
1. The manner used to focus the case of Felipe Rivero
is absurd. They are converting him into a hero and a
martyr. In order "Not to be a slave of Yankee Imperialim!
even I had to make declarations protesting the imprisonment
of Felipe Rivero, although clearly stated my discrepancy
against his ideology and principals.
Boch, the one from MIRR, is taking the anti-North American
campaign and turning his hatë toward the United States on
this problem.
They could have taken Felipe Rivero out of the Waited States
without informing anyone, and then they could have informed
the people that he was already in another country. Or they could

have started a campaign to discredit him, like the one
the Miami Herald started against me at first. But they
it
should never have done/like they did.
Another mistake.
is the public judgement which they are going to give him.
Because of that judgement he is going to win more
popularity and is going to rut the United States in a
bad situation.
2. On this trip I am going to see if I can do something
about the solidarity of the Central American countries
with Venezuela in order to see if anything concrete comes
up.
3. I have gotten reports from Cuba that in Bahia Honda
they are constructing a subterranean rocket base.
am going to get more reports.
In Nicaragua there is a man,

spoke with a man named "Mayo" for a long time on the
lephone. In his conversation with this man he told
him (Rayo) that he had "taken a flight" from New York
to Chicago where he spoke with "the person whom he had
to speak to."
Allan Gross Quiros was in Leon and Hasaya on the days in
which the markets of Leca and Masaya were burned.

He (Allan Gross Quiros) has written two letters to this
address:
Herr Hubert Torres

Stephanienstrasse 29, Federal Republic of Germany
I am trying to investigate several addresses in the
United States where he writes. These are reports from
"Pepe" Fernandez.
.
5. In Honduras there is a young man whose surname is
WEANKVER, who is from Honduras and the nephew of Ricardo
Zuniga, the Presidential Counsellor. WEANEVER was in
Cuba taking training, and in conversations with other
young men he said that he hoped to go through Nicaragua.
Presently he is in Honduras.
6. It is suspected that guerrilla training is taking place
in Chinandega. I will go to that zone on this trip.

(read the back)
P.S. I forgot to tell you that Allan Gross Quiros always
carries an "executive bag" which he will not let loose
one moment. He is an inseparable companion of ARAGON 0201
Lilliam Garcia, who are both Communists at the University
of Leon.

Some money from the University of Leon supports the
subversion. There are "Phantom job positions"; that is
to say duties which no one carries out and which receive
high salaries. This money goes to the ranks of subversion.

MIAMI, 24 April 1967
Dear Jin,
Pardon my lateness in writing to you but I have had to face
many problems and I wanted to be calm when I wrote to you.
I was at Luis Somosa's funeral and I think that I made a good
impression. I am at present more worried than I was before, but not
for my future, because Tacho is a very good friend of mine and Luis
was not. I am worried about Nicaragua's destiny. Let us not
forget that Nicaragua is the most solid pillar of Central America.
1-Lainos grew closer to Tacho during the funeral. Laines took
practically all the load of the funeral arrangements upon himself.
2-Many of the good men who gave the Somoza's advice were intimate
friends of Luis and they are afraid of coming to Tacho in order to
give him advice.

3-The Communists are aware of this and they are also aware of the
fact that Tacho is even more violent than Luis, therefore, they take
advantage of the situation to provoke Tacho, thereby hoping that
without Luis's advisors and possibly with the "bad advice" of "an
infiltrator" in Tacho's circle of friends/to rule his government
he will begin
with an iron hand, which is just what the Communists want from him.

everything possible to see that he keeps calpa

in a great quantity (of weapons into Nicaragua. The weapons have
not been found, in spite of the investigations by the Security Corps;

but it could develop into a problem, if the Communists exploit
it skillfully.
7-I also think that the Security Corps which continues to function
under the orders of Montiel, who is also chief of Staff and also
a merchant, loses all its efficiency because of the fact that Montiel
cannot dedicate sufficient time to the Corps and as a result leaves
its direction to Captain Willop, who I think is entirely incompetent
for the job.
8-I think that the only good thing that panorama has is the loyalty
of General Somoza's military troops, for I honestly do not trust
some of the high officials.

Querido Jim:
Perdona la demora en la carta, pero he tenido muchos proble-
mas a los cuales hacerles frente,y quería tener tranquilidad para escri-
birte.
Estuve en los funerales de Luis Somoza,y creo que causé buo-
na impresión. Pero ahora est ) más preocupado que antes pesar de que
mi gran amigo es Tacho y no Luis,pero mi preocupación no es por mi fu-
turo, sino por el destino de Nicaragua.No olvidemos que Nicaragua es el
puntal más sólido de Centro-América.
1-Lainez logró macercarse más a Tacho durante este proceso .Practicamen-
to fué el hombre que llevó todo el peso de los funerales.
2-Muchos de los buenos consejeros que tenían los Somoza,estaban intimamente
ligados a Luiz,y le temen acercarse al Tacho Para darle consejos.
3-Los Comunistas son conscientes de ésto y de que Tacho es un hombre más
violento que Luis,por lo tanto se aprestan a provocar al Tacho para que
éste,sin los consejeros de Luis y posiblemente con los "malos consejos"
.
de "algún infiltrado" en el circulo de Tacho,unido al carácter violento
del Tacho,lleve su gobierno a una mano dura que los comunistas desean
en Nicaragua.
4-Creo que Tacho se ha acercado mucho más a mí después de éste proceso y
yo trataré de hacer todo lo humanamente posible para que vaya por camines
de tranquilidad,
5-No hay dudas de que los comunistas han logrado meter on Nicaragua una
gran cantidad de armas, que no han aparecido a pesar de las pesquisas
de los Cuerpos de Seguridad;ésto lo reconoce el mismo General Montiel.

por el salario tan bajo que reciben los oficiales, sub-oficiales y cla-

comunismo lo explota bilmente.
7-Creo además quen el Cuerpo de Seguridad, al seguir bajo el Mando de
Montiel, que además os efe de Estado Mayor y además es Comarciante,
pierde toda su eficacia,ya que Montiel no puede dedicarle el tiempo
necesario y el Cuerpo es dirigido por el Capitán Willop, al cual

Dear Jim,

are
The fundamental subjects which I wished to discuss
1.
I was displeased when our Nicaraguan friend discussed
the subject of the implements which we had in Blueffield
with General Somoza before I had discussed anything with
him (Genral Somoza); above all without even consulting
with me before he went ahead and did it, this put me in
a difficult position with the Government. This is what I
discussed with: Carlos:

me on consulting with the company, and the answer he gave
to (b) was that he planted the "other friend" in with
Somoza, and nothing else was said. Thank God that I did
well on that job, and I did pass some unpleasant moments.
2.During Somozas' stay in the USA I have seen him frequently
and I have taken American investors, who wish to put their
capital to work in Nicaragua, to see him. We have conversed
copiously about his projects. He wants to do the following:
Turn over his power when his mandate is terminated. Raise

farmers the chance to take their products to big markets,
through the construction of highways, silos to store grains
and favorable legislation for the small farmers. The
only thing that worries me is the extraordinary influence
that "Che Lainez" has on him in economics. There are
diverse comentaries about this individual on whether he is
a member of the Communist Party or not; but the truth is
(I know him personally) that he is a social outcast, bitter,
Every intelligent and very ambitious. Furthermore, when
he tries to please someone he acts like their servant.
he is not a Communist then he is easy material for the
Communists.

3. Somoza has promised me to continue to move the subject
of Cuba in the international spheres, and in his appearance
in "Meet the Press" he has already done it.
There is a "GARCIA" who is a syndicate leader of the
?wharfs? of New York, who through Adolfo Jimenez told me
about a new invasion that was planned for Haiti, directed
by me and leaving from Nicaragua. I responded Regatively.
It seems that they spoke with others about the project and
rumor started which said that I was preparing an invasion
of Haiti from Nicaragua; I then went to see the Haitian consul
in Miami to make it clear to him and his Government that I
was not an adventurer, and that neither I nor the Nicaraguan
Government had the slightest intention of interfering with
Duvalier.
SECRET
14-00000
SECRET
The consul has now told me that Duvalier wishes to speak
with me. I told him that I would be glad to speak with him
when he wished and when the interview would be kept secret.
I think that this interview could be useful, for I have
found that the Haitian Government has a grudge against the
U.S. I do not know what we will speak about but I think
that I can get some good information for you (plural).
5. I think that we can expect violent revolts in Nicaragua,
in Panama, in Guatemala, and in Honduras (the opposition is.
in possession of many arms that have not been found yet).
This breakout of guerrilla warfare in Bolivia and Brasil
demonstrates Fidel's desperate strategy in trying to
start other Vietnams in America whether or not Russia is
in agreement.
I think that the dismissal of Raul Castro and Vilma Espin
from the key posts in Cuban Communism can cause an internal
revolt in disagreement between Cuban Communist elements and
we have to be on alert in order to take advantage of the
event so that it will not surprise as the "bloody rebellion
and cultural revolation of China" surprised us.
2.
I believe that propaganda for CUBA should be centered on
planting distrust in the Armed Forces and on making Fidel
Castro appear unstable as a person. If he has not even
been faithful to his own "brother," then what can the rest

I do not think that Almeida has the control nor the

Communist Party and with the people in the new guard who have
been hastily taught Fidel's doctrine but have received
✓C Communist indoctrination (many of them sympathize with Raul).
"It seems that Russia is very displeased with Fidel and
it would not surprise me if Russia would try to cause an
attack on him; we should insinuate this in the propaganda
against Castro for we know that his paranoic mentality and
his disgust for Russia would most emphatically make him
start to purify and take reprisals against Moscow's unconditional
demands; an atmosphere of tension would then be created
between Russia and Fidel.
The divorce of the Latin American Communist Parties from
their obedience to Moscow, seems to be a feeling of disgust
for Russia.

Perdona la demora en escribir,pero he tenido que correr mucho.
Los temas fundamentales que queria tratarles son:
1-Me disgusté cuando vuestro amico de Nicaragua le trató el tema 41 Gene-
ral Somoza antes que yo, de los "implementos" que teniamos en Blueffield;
sobre todo,sin haberlo consultado antes conmigo;ya que eso me colocaba
on una posición dificil con el Gobierno.Lo que yo traté con Carlos fué:
a)La compañía me ayuda a sacarlo b)Yo se lo planteo a Somoza como cosa
mia c) Los mudo de lugar a otro más inaccesible.
El quedó conmigo en consultar con la Comapañia y 1 la respuesta fué que
el otro "amigo" se planteó a Somoza sin habiar” nada más.
Gracias a Dios pude salir bien del asunto, pero pasé mi momento desagra-
dable.
2-Durante la estancia de Somoza on USA le he visto frecuentemente y le
he llevado inversionistas americanos que desean poner a trabajar su
capital en Nicaragua.Hemos conversado largamente de sus proyectos.
· Piensa: Entregar el poder cuando termine su mandato,Elevar el nivel
de vida del pueblo nicaragüense.Hacer asequible al campesino el sa-
car sus productos a los grandes mercados,mediante la construcción de
carreteras,silos para almacenar grems y una legislación favorable
a los pequeñios productores.
Lo único que me preocupa, es la extraordinaria influencia que en mate-
ria económica,tiene sobre 61 el "Che Lainez".Sobre este individuo hay
· comentarios muy diversos sobre si pertenece al partido comunista o no;
pero lo cierto es (lo conozco personalmente) que se trata de un recen-
tido social,amargado,muy inteligente y muy ambicioso. Además,quando
trata de agradar a alguien,llema hasta al"serviliamo".Si no es comunis.
ta,es materia fácil para el comunismo,
Somoza me ha prometido continuar moviendo el asunto Ouba en les esferas
internacionales,y en la comparescencia en "meet the press" ya lo hizo.

Como parece que ellos hablaron a otra gente del proyecto y se empezó a
rumorar en Miami que yo preparaba una invasión a Haiti desde Nicaragua;
fui a ver al consulde Haiti en Miami para que lo aclarara a su Gobierno
que yo̟ no era un aventurero,y que ni yo,ni el Gobierno Nicaragüense te-
níamos la más leve intención de meternos con Duvalier.
El Consul, después de eso me ha dicho que Duvalier quiere hablar conmigo.
Yo le dije que yo estaba dispuesto a hablar con 61 siempre y cuando la
entrevista fuera secreta.

Creo que esta entrevista puede ser útil,puss he descubierto en el Gobierno

Dear Jim:
1.
Just a few lines to report the following:
I believe that Communism will concentrate on Nicaragua as
a point of attack.
2. The men who have returned to Nicaragua after receiving
training in Cuba only acted indirectly in the bloody events
of the 22nd, because according to information gathered in
Nicaragua through "Pepe Fernandez," the "Sandinistas" communists
(who follow the Castro line) were awaiting the assassination
of the Somoza in Leon and this was never realized (carried
out). These men were expecting an outbreak before Tacho
Somoza took over the Presidency of the Republic.
8. I am structuring (building) an anticommunist intelligence
net in Nicaragua, which I have begun to instruct (train).
This net is composed of: Jose Fernández ("Pepe" Fernández)

These individuals are going to create an anticommunist

4. According to reports received by Pepe, a Nicaraguan named
Gustavo Gomez Mesa, acquired through various subjects (persons),
about $5,000.00 in arms in Miami, from the Tamiami Gun Shop.
The money was contributed by Aguirre, the owner of "Diarion
de las Americas" (and director), through an individual named.
Germán Arellano. These arms were going to be infiltrated into
Nicaragua in small quantities at a time.
5.
Today I received from Adolfo Jiménez (old chief of the
Camp "Francisco" of communications, of Costa Rica) the pro-
position to ask Nicaragua for permision to launch the invasion
from there to Haiti. According to him there is a group of
Capitalists in New York who are willing to send from Europe
about $80,000.00 in arms, to any designated location in
Nicaragua. . I am attempting to find out the names of these

AMBIDDY-1 CONTACTED JAMES D. ZABOTH 4 MARCH, SAID
THE CLOSING OUT ALL HIS STATIONKEEPERS IN NICARAGUA, DID
HOT WANT TO ABANDON WEAPONS TO FALL INTO WRONG HANDS, NOR
TO GIVE THEM TO NIC GOVT. GENERAL SOMOZA KNEW AMWORLD WAS
LEAVING BEHIND SOME RESERVE EQUIPMENT AND WOULD KEEP
ENOUGH WEAPONS FOR LOCAL SECURITY. HE DID NOT KNOW NUMBERS
AND TYPES REMAINING. AMBIDDY-1 ASKED IF WOFACT WISHED TO
RECOVER WEAPONS, OTHERWISE HE WOULD HAVE TO DUMP THEM IN
OCEAN. ZABOTH, AMBIDDY-1 AND AMJAVA-4, WHO IN MANAGUA ON
OTHER BUSINESS, VISITED BLUFF ISLAND 6 MARCH TO CHECK
SITUATION. IF HQS WISHES RECOVER WEAPONS, MOST FEASIBLE
METHOD IS BY AIR. A CARIBOU OR C-123 TYPE AIRCRAFT COULD
LAND ON BLUFF STRIP, LOAD WEAPONS AT NIGHT AND FLY THEM
OUT NEXT MORNING. IF HQS DOES NOT WISH RECOVER WEAPONS,
AMBIDDY-1 COULD BE TOLD TO MAKE OWN ARRANGEMENTS TO DUMP
WEAPONS AT SEA.

SUBJECT: Termination of Manuel Artime Buesa
1.
(LX-3212
@ of Earit.
شمس عند الدنيا
On the night of 13 January 1967 the writer using
the operational alias James E. 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 un-
doubtedly 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 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 AMBUD activity.
4. Artime has a sterile Headquarters telephone number
and a P.O. box address in Washington, D.C. He was not scouraged
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.

Jance F. Wilson met with Artins in a
room in the 
Betel Columinus in Miami, Florida. The purpose
of the meeting was 
to formally terminate Artine's association
with the Agency. 
This involved the obtaining of termination

Claim, the payment of $3,000 to cover
the final periodical 
payment through 31 December 1966 and

was of course the expected lengthy discussion on what he had
There
Home (or tried to 
do) for the Agency in the past and an un-
doubtedly sincere 
effort to impress upon me that he was ready
and willing for any 
task he might be called upon to do in
future.
Artime made only one request--a rather passionate
cas--for financial assistance for the immodiate family members
of two Movement 
for the Recuperation of the Revolution (MAR)
members who 
were executed as the result of operational missions
to Cubs and the wife 
of another who is serving a 30-year
sentence. (
It will be recalled that Artine has been furnishing
receipts for 
the $3,000 he has been receiving in recent months
claining that the 
money goes to the families of MER members
who have 
lost their lives or been imprisoned while on MER
missions.) 
We are examining these three cases and if worthy
will arrange for 
financial benefits under the "survivors and
styrs" section of the AMRUD activity.
Artino has a sterile Headquarters telephone number
and 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 pasa along and was assured
that if he ever 
had any "now" ideas, if he put them in writing,
they would be studied
.
however, made very clear to
him that his formal assosiatice with the Agency was terminated
and that there was 
no prospect of any financial assistance in
the foreseeable 
future.

1. AMBIDDY-1 gave the following information to James D.
ZABOTH 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 MARSHALL'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 AMBIDDY-1 described as "get-acquainted"
and "feeling-out" sessions (the two men had never met in per-
son 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.

3.. HARSHALL said he knew AMBIDDY-1 had some weapons.
AMBIDDY-1 replied that the weapons in Nicaragua 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
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

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 opera-

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

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 indica-
tors of possible violence. ODUBER again 
mentioned to AMBIDDY-

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

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 clain, 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.

Miami 10 de Enero de 1967
Estimado Jims
S
El Dr. Alvarez Tormo estuvo el domingo y el lunes y el martes en Miami.
El motivo de su visitas
1-Contacto con amigo de Carlos en Mejico deficiente.Solo puede hablar con el contacto cuan
do 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 agentes 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
decir 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.
Abrazos.

SUBJECT :
Subversive and Political Activities in
Central America
Source of the following information is a prominent
Cuban exile who is a fairly reliable reporter. He has a
large number of direct and indirect contacts with
influential Latin American nationals. Source acquired the
information from discussions held with the individuals
mentioned, during the month of December 1966.
During a conversation with Frank Marshall in early
December 1966, source learned that Marshall wanted to buy
arms and asked source to supply them. Marshall said that

sectarian interests and not to Costa Rica, and who respond
much less to President Trejos. The Partido Liberacion
Nacional, (PLN) is expecting a coup d'etat and plan to
counter-attack and stay in power."
In a conversation with Daniel Oduber in early
December 1966, source states that Oduber "spoke badly phot
Oduber said that
Don Pepe Figueres and "Chico Orlich".
"they wanted to eliminate his presidential aspirations for
the coming campaign and postulate Don Pepe again."
Oduber said that "they (Don Pepe and Orlich) were the

then told source of an airfield on his farm close to the
Nicaraguan border where at the determined moment he could
receive arms.
