caching of 2400 pounds of dynamite,

100 pounds of practice bombs and

other related material, and with plotting to bomb the shell 01l com-

pany and other Cuban targets.

Since the FBI felt that the aerial at-

tack on Cuba had been effectively thwarted by seizure of the munitions

and impounding of the aircraft, they contemplated no criminal action

at that time against subject and his cohorts.

On 2 May 1965, Subject contacted an INS officer who, on the

basis of information in Subject's story which appeared to, affect U.s.

security, notified the FBI. On the same day (2 May 1965), Subject

was interviewed by the FBI and CIA was notified on 3 May 1965.

contacted Subject on 4 May in the New York field office of the FBI.

The gist of Subject's story was that he was aware that AMLASH and

others had been planning a coup which involved the assassination of

Castro and that CIA had been involved with AMLASH and others in the

plotting.

4. In a 9 June 1965 cable from Headquarters to Paris and Madrid,

DIRECTOR 17510, Headquarters advised the Paris and Madrid Stations that

"it evident that security of our Cuban ops in some cases and our own

compartmentation not all that we would desire.

Urge therefore that

Stations concerned continue take such steps as feasible to improve se-

curity."
