| my ‘ t Re: MIRR ° reported that on the same day, he observed a Cuban entering the front office of a sugar company at Clewiston. IGLESIAS, immediately thereafter contacted his cousin, Ja ALBER MIREZ, who is also his ranch manager, who was Vo at th ugar company office, and ascertained that the individual mentioned above had identified himself to RAMIREZ as "MIMO," RAMIREZ told IGLESIAS that "MIMO" stated he was in Clewiston on behalf of the MIRR, "MIMO" requested RAMIREZ to contribute some dynamite to the MIRR, "MIMO" also stated that he was trying to obtain permission to use a ranch to experiment with some new weapons which the MIRR had developed. IGLESIAS, on May 12, 1965, identified a photograph of GERVELIO GUTIERREZ CONCEPCION as being identical to "MIMO." (Previous investigation has reflected that GUTIERREZ is the so-called “bomb expert" of the MIRR.) On April 21, 1965, MM T-2 advised that several days previously, BOSCH stated it was necessary to keep alive among the Cubans in exile the idea that Cuban liberation is essential, and that financial contributions had to be obtained in whatever way it was possible to do so, whether by robbing a bank, or killing someone, if necessary. BOSCH claimed there are many wealthy people in the Miami area who are not at all concerned about Cuba. He labeled them as traitors. BOSCH also claimed that his organization is planning a big attack on Cuba, and that instead of dropping bombs on sugar cane fields, the bombs would be dropped on oil ° refineries. BOSCH claimed that his organization has acquired some good equipment, and that they have a supply of forty- eight bombs and several cannons. He did not describe either the bombs or the cannons in greater detail. ; On April 19, 1965, MM T-3 reported that MARCELINO GARCIA of the MIRR disclosed that the MIRR has been trying to finda — place outside the United States from which the MIRR can operate. GARCIA stated that BOSCH is afraid of the United States Government i CONFIDENTIAL 9. HW 54027 Docld:32297153 Page 4
