austin said that Williangon, himsalt, had not been in touch with

him. He understood Austin to say that Willianson's friend was a past

infomer. Austin said that the last time he had talked with hiu ha bad

told Austin about a

"super dope deal" that apparently Custoas was never

able to confira.

Austin described him as one who seems to have 'flights

of fancy,

and at one point in his couversation with us he said,

really a llttla leary of the guy."

According to what Austin said,

Willianton's friend had told his that "they" (whoever "they' nay ba) were

running guns tuto Nicaragua and luto Mexico supposedly through the Port

of Laredo, Teras. Austin said that thay had had peopla doinz some

checking at laredo and 80 far nothins had checked out.

5. Wiltangon's friend had told dustin that he was only going to

do this (provide information) for the soney," and nolaty was discussed.

When the figure of 550,000 uns brought up, Ullllanson's frland Indignantly

told justla sords to the effect:

se more than that just for tha Infornation."

. When Austla told bia to go

ahead, villasson's frlend said 'Wall, an a untter of fact, this Erlend of

aire (apparently referring to Willianson) already has."

Then he asked

that Austin as a lavor act as a go-between and set up a neeting for him

u1ch 18. All of which led to Austin's calliag ua.
