At 1600 Lcurs, 21 November 1964, I complied with AMBIDDY-1's request relayed through the Security Office that he be called on FRanklin 3-1568 in. Miami. 2. AMBIDDY-1 described reports reaching him of mysterious phone calle being received by various Cubans im Miami, mostly MRR personnel or wives of MRR members. fhese calle started during she morning of 21 November... fhe caller was a North American who spoke Spanish and gave hie neme as "Bill Jones." Tae caller sought. in each case to solicit derogatory information about AMBIDDY-1, with . particular emphasis on A-l's alleged participation in . -. _-s« @@uggling activities. The caller offered money (A-1. did - nee ' get know how much) for derogatory information. ne .. . &e A~] muntioned two persons who received calls: AMYUM-19 and the wife of Manolin Hernandez. In.addition — to smuggling, A-19 was also asked if the reason he broke with A-1 was because of the marriages of AMJAVA-4 or A-l1. A-19 denied these allegations tc the caller. i . "4, Bel said that the story spreading through. Miami ae a result of these calls is that the U.S, Government. -- 25: aad probably CiA specifically -- was attempting to discredit ‘Bel as a basis for denouncing hin. A-1l was cbviously . distressed by these speculations, and. in reporting them ‘eo was in reality. asking the question. -I gave him ay. unequivocal assurance that the U.S. Government was not. responvible for tae calla.. 7 . . &.

AMBIDDY-1 said he was expecting momentarily @ call from Manolin Hernandez in San Jose. Hopefully, Hernandez’ call would be to read a public letter from President Orlich officially denying the presence of. AMVORLD training camps in Costa Rica and disavowing charges that A-1 or his peoplso were involved in smuggling. G@rlich promised A-l1 to iasue such a letter.
