no protection to anyone in the law enforcement agencies or

to anyone in order to operate. He said that he has never

been approached by any person

regard to combining his operation into a large Bolita

set up and has stated, as above, his operation is entirely

independent.

STAHL advised that he is not completely familiar

with the extent of Bolita operations in the Miami area but

that based on what he has heard he would estimate that there

are approximately twenty individual operations quite similar

to his presently running in the Miami area.

He said that

in addition he would estimate that there are perhaps half

a dozen Bolita houses operating, the volume of which would

be many times larger than his.
