THEY WERE INITIATED FROM OUTSIDE UNITED STATES TERRITORY. HAYES

ALLEGEDLY TOLO BOSCH THAT HE HAD BEEN WARNED AS TO WHAT WOULD HAPPEN

PINAR DEL RIÓ PROVINCE.)

3. BOSCH APPEARED DETERMINED TO GO THROUGH WITH HIS PLANS TO

EOMB HABANA: USING A B-25. AURCRAFT, EXPLAINING THAT SUCH AN OPERATION

WOULD "MAKE A BIG SPLASH." (FIELD COMMENT: FOR PREVIOUS REPORTING

ON EOSCH'S INTENTION TO BOMB HABANA, SEE CSD5-312/81037-65,

DATED 22 APRIL 1965;. TOCSOB-315/88652-65, DATED 24 FEBRUARY;

AND TOCSDB-315/40550-65, DATED 16 FEBRUARY.) BOSCH HAS ALREADY

ANTICIPATED WHAT HE INTENDS TO DO IF HE IS CONFRONTED BY UNITED STATES

AUTHORITIES. . IF THE OPERATION IS STOPPED SEFORE THE AIRCRAFT TAKES

OFF, HE WILL STATE THAT HE IS MERELY DOING HIS DUTY. IF THE CREW

MEMBERS MAKING THE STRIKE ABOARD THE B-25 ARE APPREHENDEU AFTER

THE AIRCRAFT HAS EVADED UNITED STATES AUTHORITIES, BOMBED HABANA,

AND RETURNED TO THE MIAMI AREA, BOSCH INTENDS TO EXPUSE THE. OPERATION

AS HAVING BEEN AUTHORIZED BY THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT. THIS

ALLEGATION, HE FEELS, WOULD FACILITATE HIS OBTAINING THE RELEASE OF THE

CREW.
