Approximately 3,400 athletes and officials will participate, including 381 from Cuba. The Cuban contingent is scheduled to arrive in- Winnipeg on J uly 15, 1967. Although there have been rumors that Cuban Premier Fidel Castro will attend these Games, RCMP has received no reliable indication to that effect. The Winnipeg Police Department has advised trouble can be expected from foreign groups during the Games. The population in 5/9/67 SAC LETTER 67-25 -4- MW 55069 Doold:32989528 Page 580
the Winnipeg area is reportedly made up of many nationality groups many of which are violently anti- or pro-Castro. According to the Winnipeg Police Department, these groups could be easily provoked into an incident. In addition, thousands of visitors including many from other Western Hemispheric countries are expected. The RCMP and the Winnipeg Police Department have re- quested FBI cooperation in furnishing them with any information we may develop which would assist them in security arrangements and in maintaining law and order during the Games. The Winnipeg Police Department has also requested we furnish it with information concerning identities of gamblers, hoodlums and other criminals who contemplate attending these Games as well as any other pertinent criminal intelligence we may develop which would assist it. Anti-Castro Cuban exiles in this country in the past have traveled to Canada to attack Cuban establishments there. It can be expected they will plan various militant anti-Castro activities during the Games. If Castro or Cuban President Osvaldo Dorticos attends the Games, such planned activities may include plots to cause bodily harm, to demonstrate against or to embarrass either of these individuals. Each office and Legal Attache should insure logical security and criminal sources, including anti-Castro, pro-Castro, and other Latin-American sources, are alerted concerning this matter. Pertinent information of a security nature should be furnished the Bureau by most expeditious means warranted, including use of teletype dissemination procedures as outlined in Part II, Section 5, pages 4 and 4a, of the Manual of Rules and Regulations. The character "Internal Security - Latin America’ should be used. Criminal intelligence data should be furnished the Bureau in letterhead memorandum which includes significant background infor- mation, a physical description and arrest record concerning persons who contemplate visiting Winnipeg during the Games. With respect to criminal-type intelligence, the caption "Pan-American Games - Criminal Intelligence Matter" should be utilized. - 5/9/67 - “SAC LETTER 67-25 -5- WA 55069 Docld: 32989528. Page 561
L Canadian border offices are authorized to disseminate pertinent data bearing on the above which may come to their attention to appropriate RCMP and other Canadian law enforcement agencies with which they maintain liaison. In every instance, however, dis- semination must also be made through the Bureau to RCMP Head- quarters at Ottawa. , Very truly yours, John Edgar Hoover Director Enc. for (B) 5/9/67 SAC LETTER 67-25 -6- WW 55069 Docld:32989528 Page 562

(F) CUBAN CLANDESTINE OPERATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES -- Recent information in the press discloses that Stokely Carmichael, foremost "Black Power" advocate of violence, has been in Cuba as an official guest of the Castro government attending the Latin-American Solidarity Organization (LASO) conference. Since the avowed purpose of the LASO is to plan ways and means to overthrow U. S. "imperialism" in Latin America by revolutionary violence, Carmichael's presence at the conference takes on added significance and could presage Castro's clandestine involvement in the current racial strife in the U.S. ' Accordingly, all offices be most alert to any indication of such involvement on the part of Castro agents or sympathizers or any indication that support, direction or influence of current or future racial violence in the U. S. is emanating from Havana. Very truly yours, John Edgar Hoover Director 8/1/67 SAC LETTER 67-43 -9- HIW-S5069—Bocid+32989528_ Page 612

(C) BANK PROTECTION ACT OF 1968 - BANK ROBBERY MATTERS -- Regulations issued pursuant to the Bank Protection Act of 1968 require that effective July 15, 1969, "bait't money be maintained by banks and that the “bait'' money consist of used Federal Reserve notes. Some offices have in the past suggested to banks that Federal Reserve notes issued in distant Federal Reserve districts be used as "bait" bills in order to make "bait" bills more noticeable. For example, banks in Texas might use as “bait'’ money Federal Reserve notes issued by the Federal Reserve in San Francisco because few such bills will be in circulation in Texas. The Federal Reserve System has advised that some of the Federal Reserve Banks have recently been requested by commercial banks to supply used currency from another Federal Reserve district for use as "bait'' bills. The Federal Reserve is not set up to handle these transactions and desires that banks obtain used Federal Reserve notes issued in other districts by contacting a correspondent bank rather than a Federal Reserve Bank. You should keep the above in mind when discussing "pait'' bills with bankers in your territory.
