CLEMENTNBENOIT is subject of Miami Closed Ille

105-7513. He was last known to be in the Miami area in

1964 and in 1964 moved to Santurce, Puerto Rico where he

was last known to be residing.

A review of referenced LHM reflects that most

of the material relates to events that are several years

old. Much of it is set out in the newspaper articles

published by MIKE WALES and these, of course, are a matter

of public record.

HAITI

The only pertinent information which appears

to be current is that relating to an alleged plan to invade

Haiti directed by CLEMENT BENOIT with the help of EDWARD

ARTHUR. No information has been received by the Miami

Office which would verify in any way that such a plan is

taking place in this area.

with Haitian exiles in the Miami area, advised that he knew

of no current activity on the part of EDWARD ARTHUR. He

further stated that as far as he knows CLEMENT BENOIT was

living in either Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, or

Mexico, and might be teaching school in any of these places.

"The source was alerted to furnish any information which

might come to his

attention regarding the activities of

BENOIT Or ARTHUR.

In view of the above, Miami recommends the

following:

1. Referenced Tampa letter and LEM dated 3/11/71

not be disseminated.

2. Miami should contact INS, Miami to determine

any information in their possession regarding the present
