Sergio Vicente ARCACHA Smith (Enclosure 3 of reference nonorandum) DPOB: 223 January 1923, Cuba be 1. Traces on ARCACHA do not reflect the date he first arrived in the U.8. Hewever, he became the FREITE REVOL- CIONARIO BEMOCRATICO (FRD) delegate in Kew Grileans pricr te the Bay of Pigs invasion and continued im that post{§ion until the FRED ceaced to function. The FED was the of the CUBAN REVOLUTIONARY COUECIL, and was organised and supported by the Agency. The organization was uped ag a front fer recruiteent of Brigade 2506 for the invasion. Duriag this period ARCACHA reported to the FRED Lencauagrore im Miami through a post office box in Coral Gables, and: reportedly maintained extensive relations with the Hew ° Orleans FBI and Inmigration offices. Two of his regular , ¥BI contacts were a ur. De Bruce and the deceased Guy Ban @ cr a 8. ARCACHA was also one of the promoters of the = FRIENDS OF DEMOCRATIC CUBA, INC (FBC) which vas incorporated in Hew Orleans on 6 January 1962. This organization was estensibly created by several New Orleang business and political figures, including the deceased former FBI agent, Guy Banister, to collect money te aid Cubans in their fight against.Communism. According to the articles of incorporation, these donations would alse be esed to support — the FRD and the funds were to be channeled ARCACHA, leas a percentage to be retained by the FnC. An investi- gation conducted by a reliable Miami Station agset concluded that the FDC was organised strictly for the persenal gain of the promoters with the approval and collaboration of ARCACHA. The investigation produced ne evidence that any individual denations were ever solicited er received and recommended that the funds of the Gtovedores Usion and the books of the New Orleans Exporters Company be savoutigated for evidence of personal gain and possible evidence of federal tax evagion, since beth the president of the Hew Orleans Exporters Company, Gerar@ F. Tunague, and the Chief of New Orleans Stevedores Union, Alfred Chittenden, were officials of the FDC. Approximately one menth after the FoC was created, strong criticigm from geome prominent Cubans put the organization out of business. 3.

His address in Venezuela was HOTEL THUNA, Caracas, and his US address was listed as 4523 Dupplesses Street, New Orleans. Passport Ne. 00433.

Edvard 8. BUTLER (Paragraph 7 (A) of reference moncrandun) In January 1966 Subject's organisation (INCA), sponsored the New Orleans appearance of Juanita CASTRO shortly after her arrival in the US. INCA had a particular interest in Miss CASTRO since they distributed hundreds of tapes contah- ing Miss CASTRO‘s declarations Mexice. A JMWAVE agset, who is ' inte Caer a aeeentaens eee handled the planning and arrangements ror the Row Orleans visit with INCA officials. The only subsequent contact between the JMWAVE asset and Edward BUTLER eccurred when BUTLER was recently in Hiami promoting the INCA filme on “CASTRO-HITLER in HAVANA".

Eailie SANTANA (paragraph 7 C of reference senorandus) DPOB: 7 Sept 1935, Cardenas, Matanzas, Cuba (also reported 7 Sept 1936 and 7 Sept 1937 1. Subject is probably identifiable with Emilio SANTANA Galindo, whe was recruited by JMVAVE in December 1960 as a guide for an infiltration team. SANTANA was paid a uonthly ealery under provisions of his HOC until he was terminated on 18 October 1963 when the ratline developed by the team became inoperable due te occupation of the target area by Seviet technicians. Another compelling reasen fer SANTANA's termination stemmed from hig untruthful reporting concerning certain agpecte of the team operations. 2. In an attempt to establish positive identification, SMWAVE obtained a report from the Dade County (Miami) Sheriff's office that an Emilie SANTAHA (no matronymic) — bern 6 July 1936 im Cuba, was declared a fugitive fron Louisiana on a federal warrant 22 December 1965, FBI Sheet 1322877, based on two counts of burgiery in Louisiana. — He was arrested and beoked by the Dade County Sheriff's office on 2 February 1966 and was presumably sent back to Louisiana. At the tige of his arrest SANTANA gave his | address as S51 SW 4th Street, Miami, which is the sane address shown on an old immigration frm when he was living in Miami. Headquarters files indicate SANTANA is separated from his wife whe apparently still resides at the old Miami address. Since SANTANA’s date of birth varies en various decuments in his 201 file, the variation in birth date on his arrest sheet is not conclusive. The fact he did give his former address to the arresting officers indicates he ig Emilie SANTANA Galindo. A 1962 immigration form includes a photograph which could be obtained from SMWAVE for identification purposes if thie becomes necessary. 3. Although JMWAVE hag had no centact with SANTANA since his termination, there is a note im Station files dated 23 June 1964 that SANTANA used the Agency as his euployer on an auto credit application.
