Early in December, 1964, Colonel Valdivia

informed MM T-l that he had had no further contact with

his superior in Haitian matters, and that he had nothing

to suggest to further the Haitian movement. It appeared

had been interviewed by U. S. Customs Service and U. S.

Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) at Miami.

MM T-1, at that time, did not expect any new activity on

the part of ICD, or individually on the part of Dr. San-
