SUBJECT: pranifbanar. 7 we | Subject seems to be confused as to the actual duties which he will undertake while in Nicaragua, which is not unusual, when one considers that it is necessary to make one's own jod after getting in general what the government has in mind. He apparently is in the same position that the writer _ was on arriving, and spends most of his time waiting to see either the Pres- ident or Col/\SOMOZA, who, unless you know the ropes, and push people aside, are almost impossible to corner at any given moment. : _ Subject. stated that he would. be working with this Office and would “be in charge of the Presidential protection. group.—Th that he wants to'take is to separate the Presidential force from the intelligence end of the organization. He states that he would like this group to remain -a@ part: of the Office of National Security, but that it should operate . ‘separately with a separate budget. This Office has as yet received no ocmmunication from the powers that be that BARRY is assigned to this Office or that his specific ‘Job is’ Presidential protection, nor have the President __ or.Col. SOMOZA as much admitted that such a person exists in my presence. ~ BARRY states that he had a talk with the President on his arrival ‘and that he approached the security problem from the following angle? Since it can be assumed that no country in the Western Hemisphere can exist or progress without the American dollar, and it is a cinch that the average —~buginessman passing through Managua and seeing the amount of military force and weapons would never consider investing anything, the military has to™ be cut dow, and a large plain-clothes security forte must be trained. ' BARRY stated that the President agreed with this in Principae. On 16 January 1957, the writer had the o ant of talking with the subject informatly over some drinks. The subject stated in effect as follows: He has a contract with the Government for six months, but that if he doesn't get more cooperation than he has gotten to date, he is not going to stay. That the security thing was secondary with him, and that he and/Davidson (Irving) were "in" on a deal to build a hotel in Wicaragua, ‘and that they already had 80% subscription from a US firm. All that is necessary will be 20% locally, which he believes will not be difficult to raise. He stated that he was also connected indirectly with a real estate firm in | Washington who had-commissioned him to investigate the mortgage set-up in Nicaragua with an eye to the building of low priced housing around Managua. — . He stated that Clint pareenon would be here on Sunday to close negotiations. on a fertilizer plant to X8be built in N,caragua, under the supervision and ' management of on CHAUND, who is apparently in that line in El, Salvador. ( The Murchison mentioned above 41§ KX¥XEX the son of the old man.) _ , The writer gets the impression that BARRY is. strictly out for the: buick, and-when he found that the Government already had plain-clothes. - co _ protection for the President, he was slightly at a loss as to what his job. was to be, He has not told‘we of any definite plans for improving Presidential a. _, security, except that he plans to ask the President to use motorcycles in”. | Lo , the convoy, and to purchase four convertable sedans with running~boards . a , for transpottation of the bodyguard. oo a Pos
