IN ATTEMPTING TO RE-CONSTRUCT HOW MUCH MONEY WAS SPENT TO

PREPARE THE BOAT AND EQUIPMENT FOR GROZCO'S TRIP.

IT APPEARS LIKELY

THAT GROZCO WAS EXAGGERATING WHEN HE SAID THAT HE HAD ASKED FOR

ANO RECEIVED , 406.00 FOR EACH MEMBER OF THE CREW. MRS. GROZCO HAS

STATED THAT OROZCO HAD GIVEN THEM EACH $20C. 9O AND SHE

THOUGHT BUT

WAS NOT COMPLETELY CERTAIN THAT HE HAD LATER GIVEN EACH OF THEM AN

ADDiTIONAL UNSPECIFIED SUM.

STARTING WITH THE FIGURE OF $700.00

WHICH IS MENTICHED IN THE ATTACHED NOTE FROM CRIZONDO, IT APPEARS

SAFE TO SAY THAT MOST IF HOT ALL OF THAT SUM WOULD HAVE BEEN PAID

OUT FOR FUEL LAT LEAST 50 GALLONS SINCE IT HAD BEEN A 50-GALLON TANK

WHICH MAD EXPLODEO AND HAD TO BE REPLACEDI, FOOD FOR ONE WEEK, THE

ITEMS /KNIVES, PONCHOS,

CANTEENS, FATIGUE UNIFORMS, AMMUNITION, ETC.

WHICH MRS. OROZCO CLAIMS OROZCO BOUGHT IN AM ARMY/NAVY STCRE PLUS

OTHER MISCELLANEOUS BUAT ITEMS.

$41.00 FOR THE REPAIR OF THE BOAT ENGINE, THE ESTIMATED 3100,00 TO

PEOLACE THE SO GALLUN FUEL TANK,

THE $100.0U GIVEN TO MRS. CROZCO

BY ORIZONDO,

AND THE TOTAL 1A CONSERVATIVE ONE AT THATA AMCUNTS TO

APPROXIMATELY $1341.00.

MRS. CROZCO SAID THAT SHORTLY BEFORE HER

HUSBAND'S DEPARTURE,

ONLY S125.00 REMAINED OF THE INITIAL SUM.

THE GROUP LEFT FOR THE MARATHON ARLA A DAY BEFORE THEIR ACTUAL DE-

PARTURE ANO HAD TO RETURN TO MIAMI BECAUSE THEY HAD FORGOTTEN THE KEYS

TO THE BOAT. MRS. CROZCO SAID THAT THE $50.00 SHE RECEIVED FROM

HER HUSBAND WAS TAKEN FROM THE REMAINING $125.00 AND SHE ASSUMES THAT

THE BALANCE OF $75.CO WAS SPENT FOR MOTEL ROOMS IN THE KEYS AND FOR

OTHER LAST-MINUTE PURCHASES. THE ONLY ITEMS FURNISHED TO OROZCO,

ACCORDING TO HIS WIFE, WERE AN M-I RIFLE AND AN M-I CARBINE WHICH

ORIZONDO HAD GIVEN MIM /MRS. CROZCO THOUSHT THAT THEY HAD HAD TO

BUY THE AMMUNITION FOR THESE WEAPONS/, AND A PISTOL OF UNIDENTIFIED

MAKE BY LAUREANO BATISTA FALLA OF THE MOC /CHAISTIAN DEMOCRATIC

MOVEMENTI WHO ALSO GAVE OROZCO A MEANS OF ENTREE TO THE FRENCH

AMBASSADOR IN CUBA IF HE SHOULD RUN INTO UNFORESEEN DIFFICULTIES.
