pe so SECRET Memorandum for Mr. Sullivan RE: MIRR Alpizar has learned that MIRR intends to utilize two boats in this operation. A large boat piloted by a Cuban captain will rendezvous at gea with a smaller fast boat carrying the demolition bombs which will have departed from the Homestead, Florida, area. The bombs will be loaded on the bigger boat which will then proceed to Bimini. Alpizar is attempting to discreetly. ascertain more details concerning the exact identity of the boats and other personnel involved in this operation and the Miami Office is maintaining close liaison with Alpizar. Miami has previously suggested, and the Bureau has concurred, that seizure by U. S. Customs of the boats involved as they are departing Florida would be the most feasible way to stop this operation. Under existing policy Customs will seize the. boats and explosives involved but the participants would not be arrested, Miami points out that this procedure would afford adequate protection to our informant, Mr, James T. Murphy, FAA, Washington, ?. C., advised on 12-16-63 that he has been in contact with Mr. Jack Kinny, FAA official in Miami, According to Mr. Murphy, Kinny has the authority to ground the aircraft to be used in this raid under any number of pretexts and at the reauest of our Miami Office Mr. Kinny would ground this aircraft for technical reasons. Our Miami Office has established liaison with Mr. Kinny and is being advised of the information furnished by Mr. Murphy. Miami is following this matter closely with Alpizar and will keep the Bureau, Customs and FAA advised of all pertinent details. The information in attached teletype was telephonically disseminated 12-16-63 to Mr. Le Johnson, Ss. stoms; James T Murphy, FAA; E. E. Frisa, State | Paul Skoric 1A od Department Ar] Attorney John H. Davitt. We are also advising the litary intelli agencies, ACTION: For information. We will continue to afford this matter close attention. . wiee . ww & 2 SECRET DoclId: 32301571 Page 4
