him about

three weeks or so ago with the proposition to

the Cuban Rebels to purchase supplies; however, had

kept the money.

He stated MANGERIS did not give him

any additional information and stated he would contact

him later.

Sometime later, he ascertained that MANGERIS

another matter and was now afraid to move on the job.

He advised that he expected MANGERIS to recontact him

when things have cooled off and the job will again

proceed.
