Since this approval was obtained from Headquarters, I have taken the Following steps: (A) requested and obtained some requirements from IS to be used. in this program and (B) through PASSAVOY have requested some basic information as to specific facilities for use in this program. AMBUD~-1 is to advise ua on the following matters: if the Hotel Monroe, fer which AMBUD receives approximately $800 per month, has space available for the. establishment of an interrogation center; if AMBUD. has individuals now, 99 its . payroll who could be used in this prugram as interrogators and cranelatore’? 1£ . 4 AMBUD-1 has, as requested, advised the group members of AMBUD to each appoint an individual as "Jefe de Informacion"x in such cases where one does not already — are: _ 2. My primary purpeseain setting up this collection program éa/to obtain useful information and to make AMBUD a useful organization with a purpose in mind-- 4 purpose with # practical aad visible ends. AMBUD is a large organization composed of a number gf,gnayps and individuale which also has affiliates who are pot actual members. The/personnel avaibbk to it is undoubtedly unequailed im the WAVE Area. From this vast reserve of manpower, there is every reason to believe competent interrogators can be found, although most of them would naturally need training in interrogation and reporting techniques, which factor can be surmounted. In addition to the AMBUD personnel supply, there is also a vast, untouched number of sources ta of information in the WAVE area. For example, part of each plane load whks of exiles which arrives from Cla is released by Imnigration; the remainder (about 2/3) are sent to CAC. Of that number all are screened at CAC and about & are ectually interrogated at CAC due to the lack of personnel to handle any more cases. In atkex’ . waxidz addition, no women arriving from Cuba are interrogated at CAC. Therefore, the number of persons whe are potential sources of information available to AMBUD would be approximately 2/3 of all trose arriving from Cuba, plus ail the women. 3. think we should approcah this information collection program with an aim of making it an actual going concern and not a hol/ing operation or as just an activity fo keep AMBUD busy or make them feel they are contributing to the camse.
0000 oe ; | AS a result,-¥ plan to make up a chart,or table of organization,of an actual interrogation center for this purpose, In addition, I will make an estimate of any additional expenses which might be involved in the near future. Since I have had actual KUBARK expdricnce in an interrogation center, I believe I am at least somewhat .qualified to make certain suggestions.
