7400090, \ a oa y MEPORANDUM FOR! C/N /cos DAGA + r Article, and . : SUBJECT ¢ Donn MUNSON, Author of A Of Article. >. Juan ERCUYAGA, Subject o l. Donn Hale MUNSON, born 1905, resident of Los Angeles, approached LICOMET/1 in 1964 claiming he represented a large zroup.of Cuban exiles in the Los . Angeles area. MUNSON asked LICCMET/1L about the lecation of training camps, etc. LICOMET/1 reported the discussion to Station Mexico City and was instructed to avoid MUNSON. Donn Hale MUNSON is probably identical with the Donn MUNSON who authored the 3aza article, There are no additional identifiable traces on MUNSON. 2. There are numerous traces on Juan ERQUIAGA Aincorbe, the owner of Che weapons plant named in the jaja article. The F3I also reported ER UIAGA was involved in the sale of arms to Cuban revolutionaries in 1945, ‘lthoush 21 was un- able to locate the report, it was classified to Manolo uAYy's 201 file. This would tend to support the As2a claim that any weapons susplied by ERCUIAGA's firm went to the JURE crowd, not to any Agency supported Group. Po stem ~ foe Mie ety ¢ sooo % 7 an Nancye Gratz Sf

Manolo Ray arrived in Washington, D.C., by air from San Juan, Puerto Rico, on 20 March 1967 on a personal business trip. At the request of AMBADGER he phoned the writer and we met for approximately 14 hours in the bar ‘ of the Hotel Ambassador in downtown Washington, This meeting was followed by a luncheon meeting on 21 March at the Occidental Restaurant. Ray returned to San Juan on 22 March. The following are the highlights of our conversatiens. : &. Ray claims he has "lost access" -witt-/) _ the MI Pilot whom he had previously reported f asa defection target. He no longer has any v means of contacting him or of knowing his present whereabouts or attitude. [ b. He claimed he does not have any direct communication--or access~-to any significant military or government officials in the Castro regime. ec. He still maintains his half hour radio “broadcast over Puerto Rican radio stations, This L° program is prepared by his people and the radio ' time donated so the cost is minimal. d, Although he maintains contact with active members of his "movement" they have no present or projected plans for “action" except in the propaganda field. e, His business in the prefabricated . housing field is progressing satisfactorily. He has obtained private financing to start a t prefab plant in Santo Domingo and recently visited Panama where the prospects are good, 2. Future Plans: a. Ray mentioned that his organization , plans to send a representative to Mexico City “ before the end of March to talk to Gustavo Arcos’ sister who recently left Cuba. Ray is
ee? anxious to do everything possible to assist Arcos in obtaining his freedom but admitted he had no commo or means of making contact with him in prison, | b. Ray is interested in expanding his ' propaganda radio broadcasts. He spoke in terus of renting time on a U,S, short wave station to beam broadcasts to Cuba. This would be done at his own expense. He also mentioned , ‘that during Reid's former administration in / the Dominican Republic he had been promised V a site and permission to set up a short wave station for Cuban broadcasts. He may explore this possibility with Balaguer's present government during one of his business trips to the D.R. I suggested he sound out other stations in L.A, to see if he could get some free time and replay for his Puerto Rican material and have since mailed him via : AMBADGER’ a. list of stations in L.A, who are ; known to have accepted and used other Cuban exile tape broadcasts. At my suggestion he ‘ prepared oa brief outline of what he would like to do in the radio/propaganda field and what he would hope to accomplish. 3. Ray mentioned that he thought someone should utilize Pardo Llada, who now lives and works on a newspaper in Cali, Colombia, in propaganda activity against Castro. 4. Ho did not ask or hint for any financial assistance for his organization. 5. We discussed briefly the Olympic Games to be held in Winnipeg, Canada, this summer, AMBADGER had asked him to bring up the subject. JI told him in essence that we were not interested in inducing the defection of any ‘ athletes but that if he received any information indicating that any of the Cuban officials attending the games might be disaffected we wouid be interested in checking out any loads. 6. In general Ray was as usual pleasant, friendly and talkative. It is evident that he is now concentrating on earning a living for himself and his family.

25 October i966 MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD SUBJECT; Mectings with Manolo Ray, San Juan, Puerto Rico 13 and 15 October 196 MIG-21--Defecting Pilot--et al. i. In lengthy discussions on this point it developed that Ray has ‘been unable to obtain any more pertinent infor- mation since he first called the matter to AMBADGER's attention almost two months ago. The basis of the "Mig Plot" is a tip he received from an inside contact which wag brought to him by someone exiting Cuba. Ray considers the inside contact reliable but prefers not to identify him. Ray has not been able to determine if the inside contact is personally in contact, or can arrange contact, with the Mig Pilot who reportedly is fed up with the situation in Cuba and plans to defect with his airplane whenever he hag an opportunity. The “tip” Ray received was to this effect 4.e., that there is a Mig Pilot who is disenchanted and plans to defect with his plane. One point Ray was specific on was that the plane was described as "one of the smaller Migs" and according to Ray it is not a Mig-21. - 2. After Ray's original contacts with AMBADGER on this subject (wherein the plane was apparently erroneously identificd as a MIG-21) Ray claims he sent a message to the inside contact requesting. the complete detatIis-we had asked for. He has received no reply. In response to my request at the meeting on 13 October 1966 he told me at our subsequent meeting on 15 October that he attempted to reach his inside contact by phone but was unsuccessful. He was urged to continue until he reached the party and to obtain as much detail on this matter as possible so we could hopefully clarify the situation, He assurred me he would follow-through on this and report to AMBADGER. (It seemed pretty obvious toa me after two discussions with Ray on this subject that he has no direct means of reaching the original reporting source on the "Mig Plot’ and consequently may never be able to verify the original “tip” and obtain further details, * SP ag RT ee ap rE Ty EIEN CE TE TEE PL TS TT ESA LCE TE ET IETS OE RONEN TR, ORRIN

I emphasized that ‘any activity along this line would have to be stractly Ray's and the JURE's operation and done through his contacts and sources reiterating again that therefore it was essential that he confirm the plane, model, pilot, ete. reported to him to determine if the opcration was feasible. 4, We spent sometime discussing his "image" both - inside Cuba and with the exiles. He agreed that at the present time it could hardly be lower and something rather dramatic was needed to improve it. We both agreed that if he could pull off a successful operation to defect a MIG-21 pilot with his plane it would do much to restore his and- the JURE'’s name and prestige. 5. Although Ray is obviously far removed from the action agent (the pilot), if such exists, the idea of the operation intrigues him and he will undoubtedly do everything he can to stimulate some action. Any further information developed by him will be forwarded to us through AMBADGER. eputy Chief, WH7Cuba Distribution: Original - RAY 201 1 = DC/AWH/C

The following are the highlights of meetings held with Manolo RAY in San Juan, Puerto, Rico, on I3 and 15 October 1966. The matter of the possible defection of a MIG-pilot previously reported by RAY has been covered ia a separate memorandum: Personal Situation: .a@. RAY has an engineering and planning office in San Juan which he shares with Emilio Guede, @ personal friend and JURE colleague who is in the publicity business, RAY said he just signed a contract for the planning of a commercial develop- ment site in San Juan, from which he will realize several thousand dollars profit. His principal (and pet) project is the promotion and attempt to raise through private funds the financing of a = plant to mass produce low-cost prefabricated housing a designed by him, He claims with an investment of ; $200,000 he can mass produce prefabricated homes to sell for $3,000 which would be ideal for Puerto Rico's needs, 2 Recent Trip to Santo Domingo: ag ET b. RAY said his recent trip to Santo Domingo x was Strictly for business purposes. He hopes to start a small project in Santo Domingo to produce prefabricated housing. The small project he has in mind can get underway with an expenditure of $80,000, which he feels confident can be raised in Santo Domingo. He said he naturally talked with some people in the government about Cuba and the ES JURE, but that the government must become stronger i and more confident before there would be any possi- . bility of obtaining their assistance--or blessing-- in conducting any activities against Cuba. MIG-21, Defecting Pilot, et al. e. This matter has been covered in a separate memorandum, . SAG epee err mrt eet ce ee
ithe Internal Contacts. d. One gets the impression that RAY lives somewhat removed from the actual realities od the ‘Cuban internal situation, He has a tendency to compare the internal situation today with that which existed in Batista'’s time when he (RAY) was one of the leaders of the 26th of July underground resistance movement in Habana. RAY maintains direct personal contact with many new arrivals seeking asylum both in Puerto Rico and the U.S. and also undoubtedly receives a certain amount of general information and gossip from other JURE contacts and supporters. He claims to have many friends and former associates inside, which is probably true, but does not have any regular or a ~~ secure means to communicate with them. It appears obvious that these friends and contacts are not working together, if at,all, and that he has no cohesive resistance group or force as such inside, I questioned him about several personalities such as Carlos Franqui, Pedro Miret, Emilio Aragones, and others. He had no specific information at all on their activities in recent months but said he "could get it if you want it.’ In summary on this point, it would appear that RAY and the JURE main- tain no regular contact with any internal “supporters"; . _that he undoubtedly still has many former friends and supporters inside but just what they would do-- or how far they would go--to support him is a moot question, JURE Propaganda Activities. e, The JURE, Manolo RAY, Emilio Guede, and others, have a half-hour weekly program which is carried on 4 different Puerto Rican radio stations between 6:30-7:30 PM each Sunday. This program, which is taped in advance, features commentaries on news and events in Cuba, interviews with recently arrived refugees, and other items of current interest- regarding Cuba. The program is composed without cost and all radio time on the 4 stations is donated free of charge. bee ae C3 hana 3
Future Plans, f. RAY is a man who is relaxed, is now enyaged in making a legitimate Livelihood for himself, his wife and three children but stall seriously dedi- cated and motivated towards secking the overthrow of the Castro government, He has a realistic out look to a considerable degree, although as mentioned in Paragraph d., above, his viewpoints on the reality of the internal situation in present day Cuba are ae somewhat naive, As an cxperienced resistance organizer and fighter in tho 26th of July movement against , Batista, he knows the value of propaganda in preparing ; the general populace for resistance, He also knows that propaganda is useless and counterproductive without follow-up positive results. He speaks of continuing his local radio broadcasts (which he readily admits are useful only to maintain some spirit amongst the oxiles for possible future use), and at Some later date--he has no timetable--hopes to obtain facilities in Venezuela, Puerto Rico, or some other site where he can beam broadcasts into Cuba, His intention being to fellow-up the broadcasts with action. He speaks again of clandestine entry into , Cuba himself to contact sources within, prove to \ people that there is a resistance movement, and to form a nucleus for later action, He openly admits | the blunder of his last “publicized” return and that : if it is done again it must be conpletely clandestine and unannounced, He seems to have no fear of returning and claims he still has plenty of frierds who would hide and help him, He made an off-hand reference to the Agency furnishing him assistance to enter clan- destinely at some future date, He was told that his sources in Miami surely knew of several"family run” operations which could take him successfully to Cuba if and when he was ready to return, —_—— Financial Situation, g. -RAY made no request for financial assistance and from all indications is doing fairly well in his local business, 2. RAY plans to travel to the U.S. inmrly November for about two weeks and said he would visit JURE representatives in several large cities, including D.C. He will be in touch
14-00000 Sg cai % dei og etal with AMBADGER who will be vacationing in the U.S. at that time and hopefully they will be able to get together with the writer while in D.C. In any event, RAY obviously likes, respects and accepts AMBADGER as our yvo-between in San Juan and I believe he will keep AMBADGER posted on most of his activities, 3. Manolo RAY, as exiles go, certainly seems like one of the better of the lot and contact on the scene by AMBADGER on a regular basis should be adequate to keep up with his activities. Occasional contact by an Agency staff officer, however, could be useful in keeping AMBADGER's relationship fully alive,

SECRET 7? September 1966 aaah, ‘MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD ple —— SUBJECT: AMBADGER/Nanolo RAY 1. AMBADGER phoned this A.M. to tell me that he had met again with Manolo RAY on the night of 3 September. He said RAY claimed he had passed the word to his inside cantrolcentaet- (who is either the WIG pilot or the man in contact with the MIG pilot) by telephone to tell the pilot to proceed with his defection plans. ANBADGER still does not know the name Of the MIG pilot or any further details concerning RAY's plans. 2. AMBADGER has another meeting scheduled with RAY on 10 September at which time RAY has promised him biographic data on two of his alleged internal contacts which emerged (??) recently after RAY‘'s meeting with Garcla Bango in Madrid, 3. RAY still plans a seminar for JURE suppurters for carly October, date as yet undetermined, in San Juan, JURE supporters from Mexico, other Latin American countries, and the U.S. will be invited. ; 4, AMBADGER plans a two-week vacation in early October, but if RAY follows through with the seminar AMBADGER will remain in San Juan until it ends,
SECRET ms 2 September 1966 MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD renee SUBJECT: Manolo RAY 1 Cie aenaseese SES 1. During a brief TDY stupover at Headquarters on 23 August 1966, ° QUSPORT-1 said he had talked with Manolo RAY in San Juan, Puerto Rico on 22 August. According to QUSPORT-1, RAY had no additional pertinent information concerning his alleged inside contacts or his recent meeting with Garcia Bango in Madrid, Spain.’ RAY continues to insist that he hag inside support in Cuba and contacts who are anti-regime and prepared to assist him when needed. He did not reveal to QUSPORT-1, however, who the people were or where they are located. . 2. RAY told QUSPORT-1 that he wanted very much to see the writer concerning a delicate operational matter. When pressed by QUSPORT-1 RAY said he had access to a MIG pilot in Cuba who was ready and anxious to leave Cuba and was willing to fly out a MIG aircraft. RAY did not mention the name or location of the pilot or the model MIG aircraft he was flying. Neither did he discuss his ways and means of communication with the pilot and how he had determined the pilot's intentions to defect with his airplane. RAY told QUSPORT he wanted to discuss the matter with the writer. He admitted that a MIG aircraft might not now have as much value to the U.S. because of the recent access to a MIG-21 in Isreal but that it would have tremendous propaganda value if a Cuban pilot defected and brought out a MIG. He said he particularly wanted to discuss the matter with the writer because if the operation were successful he did not want Manuel Artime and the MRR or any other exile group taking credit. He wanted to make sure that he and his group received all the propaganda advantage which he would in turn exploit internally as further evidence to his supporters inside that the JURE was active on the island. RAY in the latter part oi the conversation on this subject when he learned QUSPORT-1 was coming to Washington the following day, asked him to check with the writer to determine if it was OK for him (RAY) to discuss this subject with AMBADGER. (AMBADGER is the man who was recently introduced to RAY in San Juan by Harry Mahoney as the man who would insure that any information RAY wanted passed to the Agency would reach them.) QUSPORT. told RAY that if he did not receive a phone call from him before the evening of 20 August he should give AMBADGER all the details.

[told QUSPORT to phone RAY and assure him that [ wanted him to pass all the details t2 AMBADGER even though according to QUSPORT-I's arrangement this was not accessary, QUSPORT-1 was unable, however, to reach RAY by phone during the afternoon of 20 August, 4. About 3 p.m. on 20 August I received a collect phone call from AMBADGER from San Juan. AMBADGER was very excited and Said he had to see me right away. Alter he settled down a bit he told me he had just left RAY and his two loce! lieutenants Emilio GUEDE and Arturo VILLAR (the so-called triumvirate of the JURE) He said . RAY had contacted him and the four of them discussed the possibility of defecting a Cuban MIG pilot and having him bring out his plane. In essence and from what I could discuss over the phone the details were substantially the same as those given to me by QUSPORT-1 earlier in the day. AMBADGER said he needed my guidance right away and further urged me to come to San Juan to discuss the matter with RAY WhO was pressing AMBADGER to see me. He said he had agreed to see RAY latter that night, I told AMBADGER I could not make the trip in the next few days and that further there were a few basic facts I needed to convince me that RAY really had the potential to pull off the operation. I told AMBADGER to see RAY later that evening and to try and determine the following: a Name of the MIG pilot. b. Military field where he is stationed. c. Type MIG he flys. ; d. RAY's commo if any with the pilot. e, Estimated timing for the defection, i. e.. has the pilot indicated he was ready to defect and awaiting instructions, etc. Ilasked AMBADGER to phone me if he could develop any further information. AMBADGER phoned Mr. Mahoney on the afternoon of 24 August to report he had attempted to obtain further details from RAY following his conversations with the writer but that RAY had replied he did not know the name of the pilot orother details of the operation. {See Mr. Mahoney's memo attached) SECRET

AHMBADGER had a repurt from AMBANG that agents of his inside Cuba were prepared tu fly a HIG 21 to the Usited Statea. eee Pp iaked ANBADGER for more information but AMBANG claimed that he did not have any additional detatia. (in view of AMBANG'’s previous reluctance to gource hia information there is always a certain skepticism abo.wt ANBSANG'’s claims of sccomplishaents.) | Itold AMBADGER to find out - from AMBANG the who, where, why, what, when, and hoe and to report back. AMBANG etated that he did not have this ine formation but they planned to go ahead with the operation, Willaamson told’ hia that if a Cuban pilot wanted to fly a HIG 21 to the 0.8. we could do nothing to stop hia. 2. At 2400 hours on this date AMBADCER called me to report that he had dtecuased | suggestions with AMBARG who had replied that he honestly didn’? Enow the name of the pilot or the details of the operation. In short, he had been tnformed by a contact of his in Cuda that some of hia people were gotng to steal a #1G 21. {AWBADCES com- Bented that AMBANG did not appear to be evasive or reluctent to discuss the matter but apparently didn't Rnow the detatis.) In any event, ABBANG stated that they were going ahead with the operation and planned to "do some dasage” before they loft and AMBACGER asked for my approval. { toldiAMBADGER - that I couldn't approve anything like that and thought that the chance of losing the aircraft outweighed the possible gain. suggested that if they were going abhead with the operation anyway it would be of more value to just get the aircraft. AHBADGER replied that AMBANG appeared adamant in this respect and wanted to be certain that 1f the operation was successful that he be allowed to take all tne credit for it. i repited that if itn fact he was reeporsible for the operation he could nave all the credit, 3. @ have called Lt.

IDEN A telephoned IDEN B on 15 June 1966 who aszed him to come to Madrid as soon as possible go that he could be back in San Juan before the 25th of June. The implication was that IDEN A should be back in San Juan in time to talk to a PBRUMEN who was with the PBRUMEN delegation to the Tenth Central American and Caribbean Games. (IDEN C, was a delegate to the Gases). ?. &IDEN A and IDEN B developed a plan that involved two action agents already inside PBRUMEN. One was to assassinate AMTIUG either by rifle fire or remote controlled radio activated explosives while the other agent waa to establish a military base in the ‘central part of PBRUMEN.

Q<IDEN A was interviewed upon his return to San Juan where he reported that be did not have any firm evidence that ANTHUG would topple within the next few months but only that he intuitively believed that AUTHUG's downfall was imminent. Ue based this on reports that thinge were getting worse in PRRUHEN and that the people were ready to revolt. He also based it on the fact that be now has two action agents ‘of the wame caliber as AMLASH inside PRRUHEN who are ready to do his bidding. 4.

14-00000 “we a ee o - HE : ( 3 . haw Abe e) 21 dune i966 MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD SUBJECT: Meeting with AMBANG-1, 28 April 1966 1. On 28 April 1966 the undersigned, using the name Andrews-as In the pist, contacted AMBANG-1 (201=219298) at the Hotel Sheraton in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Ths tollowing points were discussed, in addition to matters pertaining to a projected meeting of Cuban exiles, covered in a separate ‘ memo. a. AMBANG seemed much less aggressive than when I used to talk to him a year and a half ago. He seemed dispirited about the exiles and their chances of ever doing anything to settle affairs in Cuba. b. The exiles do not seem to have any plans for doing much of anything. AMBANG-1 agreed that the overthrow of Castro will probably come from the inside, and that the exiles will have little influence on the move that accomplishes it, AMBANG-1 feels this is not all to the bad since, as he says, there are a number of good men in Cuba in important ; posts who have goiten sucked bit by bit into support of communism but are really not communists, I told him I believed the US would probably be willing to deal with such persons if they achieved the overthrow of the regime and that the US would probably oppose a wave of vengeance against “decent revolutionaries", I told him this because I thought there was some chance he might spread it about and the word might get back to "decent revolutionaries” in Cuba, c. In general, AMBANG-1 had less information on the purge situation than I did. He told me that relatives of Gustavo ARCOS (201-205568) in Puerto Rico had been in telephone contact with the family inside i
= Dan Cuba about 25 April, that Arcos was as of that date still in prison but the charges against him were thin and it was hoped he would be out in a few days, (This means taere was at least one more telephone call than we knew of previously, and this has probably served to increase the pressure on Arcos). I asked AMBANG-1 if his contact with Arcos in late 1964 might not have been responctbie for the arrest. ANBANG-1 said he did not think so. We talked some about the Symbolic value of the Arcos family and I expressed a strong interest in Arcos's welfare and in getting the latest news about him. I did this on the chance that AMRANG-1 might assume Arcos had been cur agent and we were concerned about him. I do not know if he will actually construe my remark in this way, however, but it seemed Like an opening to use an important exile channel as a possible deception mechanism. ANBANG said he does not believe there is any truth to the charge of financial dishonesty levelled against Arcos. d. Rene RODRIGUEZ Cruz (201-224329): AMBANG~1 regards him as a compulsive, capable of doing harm to anyone, including Fidel Castro. AMBANG-1 knows him quite well but does not know his associate, Carlos Laplace, who’ shows up in Mexico from time to time. I raised the matter of Rene RODRIGUEZ merely to sound AMBANG out, but it may be he thinks we have some special interest in him. e, About Osmani CIENFUEGOS (20T-270164), AMBANG stated he was a member of the PSP in the middle 1950's. He is a competent architect but otherwise a person of limited capacit;. He is not a member of the inner circle of the Old Guard PSP and never was. He got involved with the PSP out of opportunism, he is a schemer, self seeker and very unreliable, £. I told ANBANG I had heard Emilio Aragones had been arrested. AMBANG was surprised and said he would inform me if he heard anything about it. I raised this to supplement rumors [I am trying to spread through exile mechanisms, i CUPACE ' coael | re
14-00000 . pnt ot < , on . uu wlinikl — =j- &. AMBANG stated that Pedro Miret (201-169120} is aman of slight capacity who would not be to upset of the Castro regime fell so long as he did net set his throat cut in the progress. I cxpres¢eed a great deal of interest in Miret, asking especially \ why he-should have been selected to make two recent \ ~ trips to Moscow. AMBANG did not have any idea. If . raised the subject of Miret, again, to put him into the exile rumor mill as a person of special interest to the US, and thus to flesh out some of the other parts of our progran, h. Armando Hart (201-222675), according to : AMBANG, does ‘not have the qualities of an adminis- trator but he is very good at situating himself politically, organizing politically and, in general, ; wheeling and dealing. He is NOT under his wife's . ~~ thumb, as many say. AMBANG regards Hart as a much more decent person than Aragones and to be well placed in Aragone's old job because he does not have notoriously close connections with any of the » personalities or factions within the 26th of July \ crowd but gets along with them all. i. Concerning the differences between the city ‘ and sierra fighters in the 26th of July, AMBANG stated they are real and that the city group fought and suffered much more. . .. j.. AMBANG believes this is not the time for the US or exiles to make menacing gestflyes against Cuba, ‘ for this would merely provide Castro with distractions from internal problems and perhaps enable him to rally : ' popular support. 2.

The Subject telephoned Rafael GARCIA-BANGO Dirube on 15 June 1966 who asked him to come to Madrid as soon as possible so that he could be back in San Juan before the 25th of June. The implication was that the Subject should be back in San Juan in tige to talk to a cuban who was with the Cuban delegation to the Tenth Cent:al American and Caribbean Games. (Jorge GARCIA-BANGO Dirube, Rafael's brother, was a delegate to the Canes.) 2. The Subject and Rafael GARCIA BANCO developed a plan that involved two action agents already inside Cuba. Ge was to assassinate Fidel Castro Ruz. either by rifle fire or remote controlled rad{o"activated explosives while the other agent was to establish a military base in the ‘central part of Cuba’. Station spoke with the Subject who reported that he believed Fidel CASTRO would topple within the next few months and that he already had a group inside Cuba. 3. The Subject was interviewed upon his return to San Juan where he reported that he did not have any firm evidence that CASTRO would topple within the next few montts but only that he intuitively believed that ~ Castro's downfall was imminent. He based this on reports that things were getting worse in Cuba and that the people were ready to revolt. He also based it on the fact that he now has two action agents ‘of the same cAaliter as AMLASH inside Cuba' who are ready to do his bidding. 4. The Subject's ‘agents’ inside Cuba are probably Jorge G&RCIA BANGO Dirube, who might cooperate with hia woén 2373 27,

Further there t<« no firp evidence that Jorge is against the present regime in Cuba. Aldo SANTAMARIA, thief of the Cuban Navy, ia another possible contact. Again, other than some unsupported allegations there\is no independent firm evidence that SANTAMARIA is anti-eregime. 3. The Subject also claimed in Madrid that Jose LLANUSA Gobel Minister of Evucation and leader of the Cuban delegation to the Tenth Games. had sent him @ message and that he was considered a potential ally. He explained this in San Juan by saying that during @ press conference his name had been mentioned and that LLANUSA replied that he considered the Subject to be his friend. The Subject rationalized that if ‘-LLANUSA had not wanted to indicate in some way that he was, with’ the Subject he would have-taken this opportunity to blast him. _ 4. YY debriefed the Subject on his Madrid trip and intentions generally before I introduced.hin to AMBADGER/1. I had first asked his, if he would mind reporting to us via a trusted Cuban exile now living in San Juan and, after I had identified ANBADGER/]. he replied that he knew him and respected and liked hin. The three of us had a meeting and it was agreed that the Subject would keep ANBADGES/1 completely informed of his plans and.that AMBADGER/1 would convey then to me in Washington. The Subject refused to reveal the identities of his agents inside Cuba despite strong pressure. He also stated that Dmtlio GUEDE and Arturo VILLAR would. have to know about his arrangement with AMBADGER/1 and with CIA. GUEDE and VILLAR, together with the Subject, are the triumvirate | WALL oS Clancy -- Bel

On this date, Subject called me from San Juan, Puerto Rico to report on his meeting with AMBANG-1 on 129 July. / AMBANG-1] remained adamant concerning his refusal ‘to reveal the rames of his sources inside Cuba. However, AMBADGER-1 beRleves that AMBANG=1 is in a better frame of mind than previously and he needs some added push to reveal the names, 2, AMBADGER suggested that Growery come to “Puerto Rico to give AMBANG-1 that added push. AMBADGER=1 said that AMBANG-1 speaks fondly of Growory and he believes that Growery migh® convince AHBANG-1 to reveal the nmamos. Alternatively, AMDANG-1 and AMBADGER-1 could come to Washington, D.C. for discussions with Growery. 3. i agreed to write AHBADGER-l the details of processing his wife's citizenship. AMBADGER=-1 wantea to process his wife's citizenship in Montreal.

We would not give Manolo REY any support or assistance until he cooperated with us fully by giving us the names of his sources. I told ANBADGER that’ he should be firm with REY and likened it to a blind date, i.e., it could be a beautiful romance if both sides cooperated but it would be a very bad date if he wanted it to be a one sided affair. AMBADGER is having lunch with REY this afternoon and will write me the results by airmail. Harry Mahoney \y’ os 2El~ 2B AYY

Further to our telephone conversation of 16 June we should like to clarify that whereas it is true that we had, and to a limited degree have, contact with Manuel Ray, who apparently bourcht some of the arms impounded hy the California authorities in the Erquiaga plant, we are in no way connected with Subject. Ray purchased these weapons : strictly on hig own initiative. He was neither cuunselled : to do go by us nor have we ever referred him to Erquiaga. Furthermore this Agency has no connection whatever with any of the individuals mentioned in the paragraph i listing ef roference. What little contact we maintain with Ray is -mainiy within the context of our goneral interest in keeoing . abreast of Cuban exile activities. Our interest in Erquiaga, therefore, was in keeping with this general interest. 3. We are most appreciative of your Los a4ngeles office's efforta on our behalf. Should the FBi query your Los Angeles office about our interest and connections with Subject it ig suggested that they answer along the lines set forth above. It is also requested that your office continue to keep us apprised of the current develcpaents in this case. ;  WH/C/CA7EA Distribution: Orig. & 1 ~ Addressee 1 = WH/C/SSEC 1 ~ WH/C/CA/EA 1 - Ray 201

An unnamed source of FRI-LA advised that office that subject, then representing the last three of the above business styles, called on hic in April and inquired as to the latter's ability to turn out vaguely described metal products, supposedly office equipment items. This presumably wus @ pretext as subject called again in May, then repree senting Communications Specialties, and asked if (this FBI) source could manufacture about 1,000 silencers, for use on 9 om machine pistols, and weant (very confidentially) for a customer in northern California. Subject implied for hinself en earlier association with Consolidated Llectrodynasics Corp., & bighly reputable scientific instrumnt manue facturer, and with Aerojet General Corp., which we know to be dabbling im ordnance apecialties. Subject also made reference to soms vague sales or business relaticnship with "the City of Commerce concern that was raided recently”, undoubtedly Erquiaga Arms Co. 2. Y¥BI-IA feela it gust alert Customs on the off-chance that subject may be exporting this item, and also that it cannot afford not to advise the State of California Department of Justice, since gere possession of a silencer ig a felony, and prior knowledce, in’ the event there was a majer incident of any kind, would be difficult to explain. terre cd teen eee

oe 7 Apri} 1963 MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD SUBJECT: Conversation with AMBANG/1, 7 April 1965 1, Subject phoned (collect) from San Juan on the morning of 7 ApriiI 1965. The undergigned,whom he calls ‘Antonolli, spoke with him. AMBANG/1 (A/1) wanted to know whether we had any further information on the status of the -legal-case arising from-the seizure of the arms being manufactured for hii by the Erquiaga Manufacturing Company. He was told that we had received further information lud' cating that the cage was undertaken by the state authorities and that there were some irregularities involved in the search warrant. Under the circumstances, we plan to take no action to interfere with the legal process since it would appear that the manufacturer has a very good case, and since federal involvement with publicity hungry state authorities could lead to totally counterproductive publicity and complications. A/l said he understood and agreed. He asked how long the matter might be delayed. He was advised that this would have to be checked with the manufacturer's attorney, but eince the seizure took place, it would appear that the court would have to take prompt action to rule on ite legality. He was told that @ hearing was scheduled for € or 7 April on the matter. 2. He said that he had checked with his man in Costa Rico who had spoken with President Orlich and with Daniel Oduber. They had advised that they cannot receive the arng in Coata Rico at the present time because of publicity and scandal raised by the opposition. They are willing to consider the matter later, A/l said that the manufacturer had been unable to locate in his files the original purchase order for the arms which was gaigned by Oduber. A/l said that he has a Bigned copy in his possession. He was advised not to use this without checking with Oduber since its use might hurt Oduber'g chances of winning the presidential elections. A/1 said he would not use this paper since he agreed that the friendship of the PLN ig more important,even than the arms, which are the key to hig current plans. He praised the PLN's past support and snid he did not want to risk losing this support.
14-00000 A/1 eald that negotiations with the Dominican Government concerning the arms continue. 3. arom ote 4. He said he would phone me on the week of 12 April 1963. Thomas J. Flores WH/C/COPS © ScuALT a ete F a
