Beeause the deaire by Haitian exiles to obtain support for invasion activities to Haiti io so strong, and beeause some Cuban exile greups are uncerupulous and are finaneially prepared to suppert a cause which could later be used for contraband gambling activities in Haiti, JMPALM considers the poasibility ef concrete support by such undesirably groups. as Rolando MASFERRER Rojas to be counter to our intereste. JMPALM has not proposed financial assiotance to any antieDUVALIER group, nor are we recommending a course of action which would bring about a toppling of DUVALIER without sufficient preparation to control the aftermath and chaos which would probably follow a Haitian insurrection. 17. JMPALM requests that Headquarters advise the WAVE Station of information obtained through Heddquarters sources relating to exile activities in this area. In this,conanection, it should be mentioned that several persons close (Ey UCID-1, including Identity, are probably in touch with the Haitian desk. If this is the caso, then JMPALM believes that KUBARK intersat ‘would best be served by keeping the WAVE Station informed of the Identities of Headquarterg assets as well as information furnished by them concerning EVLUCID-1 and other exile person- alities affecting our operationd*at JMWAVE. Operational information of this nature would, in the opinion of tha JMPALM Case Officer, sePve as a cross check on the effoctiveness of JMPALM agents and in many areas avoid duplication of effort, and add to the total security of the operation. | “ANDREW K.
