source advised that he spoke to BERNARD SPINDEL

concerning the alleged 7 million dollars in gold bullion now

in Puerto Rico.

He indicated to SPINDEL that rather than

attempt to steal this gold, SPINDEL should determine its exact

location and he, the source, would then attempt through his

political affiliations in Washington to secure a reward for

SPINDEL and himself for pinpointing this gold for the United

States Government. He stated he told SPINDEL this in an

attempt to get SPINDEL to tell where the gold is so that he may,

in turn, pass this information along to the proper authorities, who

then would be in a position to possibly apprehend SPINDEL at

the site of the storage place for the gold. He stated that

SPINDEL "bought this story"

and is extremely anxious to get the

source to accompany him to Puerto Rico in an attempt to locate

the gold. He told SPINEL that he would not accompany him

to Puerto Rico unless SPINDEL had positively identified the

hiding place.

It should be noted that this source has an extremely

heavy work schedule and efforts are constantly being made to sit

down with him for an extended period of time. However, due to

his work schedule and personal problems at home this has not

been possible.

Arrangements have been tentatively made

exhaustively interview this source on 4/10/63 or 4/11/63.

It is

anticipated that if sufficient time can be allotted by the

source, all matters of an inconclusive nature to date will then

be resolved.
