Consequently, she has knowledges of something of the nature of NOEMAIR's interests. OF e.

Antonio also did a few KUCAGE jobs such as painting slogans on walls, for which he was paid. NOEMAYR comnented that he saw some of these slogans still on the walls when he visited San Jose in January, 1960. f. NOEMAYR's relatives are not aware of his affiliation with ODYOKE. They know only his cover stories. His parents now live 7 pp lhe NOEMAYR was asked to elicit further data on his sister-in- law, Consusio, who is living with him at this tim. In particular, he was to get a record of her employment since 1957, including dates, namas, addresses and type of work. He said this could be done easily without aroudging her suspicions on the basis that he needed the infor~ mation for income tax purposes since she now counted as his dependent. 5S. WOEMAYR remarked that he had gotten a loan of $700 from the same bank which provided him the lean for the purchase of his automo- pile and that with this additional loan, he would be able te cover the purchase of whatever furniture he would need. He said that the bank ‘loan would cost him $64.10 per month for twelve (12) months as opposed to something over $65 per month for twelve months had he taken it through the Credit Union. BYNAM asked if he was certain he could carry the two obligations. He said that he had worked the figures out and felt confident that he would have no problem in meting these obligations. He showed BYNAM a copy of his budget. NOEMAYR said, however, that he 1s counting on early reimbursement of the temporary housing allowance for his initial month in the United States. BYNAM said he would look into this. O'S 6.

Discussion dwelt for some time on NOEMAIR's experiences in Cuba, It is obvious that he would like another opportunity to work on this problem. He said that, at the time he had more contact with Fidel CASTRO than any other re because of his fluent Spanish. He thought that the ¢ raport that ha had had with Castro might possibly at some future time be usefull to the erggnizatien. He recalled one evening in the Sierra Maestra, when he sat alone at a campfire with Castro, discussing with Castre bis preblems for a matter of four hours. Castro at thet time was anxious to have planes and particularly wanted a heliocepter with en Amsrican pilot. HOEMAYR suggested the name of a friend of his in Dayton who could provide the heliccopter and asked Castre what he would be willing to pay. Castro said he would pay $25,000 (US Currency) for the machine and the going rate of salary for the pilot. NOEMAIR reported this matter to Head- quarters and thought it unfortunate that thia had not been capitalized upon since KUBARK could have had a penetration in the Castre imere circle at this time if this proposal had been fellowed up. 8 Next meeting: 13 April 1960, 1800 hours, NOZMAYR's apart~ mornbe , OLIVER Re BYNAM SECRET.
