Customs immediately instituted physical surveillances at Polk City and North Perry Airports. Miami Office immediately contacted MM 639-S, ‘ who is in touch with STURGIS, and MM 635-S, who is in contact with DIAZ LANZ. Both informants advised infor- mation received by Border Patrol highly unlikely in that STURGIS and LANZ at the present time have no such plans .f,/U On 7/28/63, Border Patrol stated nothing had . developed, apparently the information was false, no i Bellanca airplane ever appeared or was identified, this might have been a publicity stunt by STURGIS and the surveillance would be discontinued at midnight. On 7/29/63, Border Patrol advised that as of 12:01 AM the surveillance was discontinued, the infor- mation was obviously false and they were taking no further action in this matter. The above information is not being set forth in form suitable for dissemination inasmuch as it appears | that Border Patrol had received false information, Miami Office did not participate and Miami informants immddiately advised that the allegation was highly unlikely and no such plans existed. - | | an Approved; —————___—_ Sent _" OM Per “i Special Agent in Charge / HW 54460 DBocld:32306256 Page 3
