The identity of ARTURO CARABALLO, JR., is known

MM 4138-S (MM T-1) indicated on 9/11/76, that

he is unwilling to testify regarding the information he

furnished in enclosed LHM.

He noted that testimony by

him in this matter would be destructive of relationships

within his immediate family.

Referenced San Francisco and Los Angeles communications

indicate that AMADO SANJUR and Panamanian exiles have

virtually discontinued Panamanian coup attempts.

Miami is conducting no further investigation in

this matter at this time unless requested to do so by

office of origin or Bureau.

RE: POSSIBLE COUP BY

PANAMANIAN NATIONAL GUARD

It was alleged that he was in Panama at the time to

make prearranged collections of funds for a coup attempt

by AMADO SANJUR.

RODRIGUEZ said that he has been unable to

contact AMADO SANJUR since his return to the United

States from confinement in Panama.

SANJUR has failed

to return several calls by RODRIGUEZ to his residence

in California.

RODRIGUEZ is puzzled by this because

he did not cooperate with the Panamanian G-2 concerning

SANJUR, despite being tortured. At any rate, he

continued, he knows of no current plans by SANJUR to

overthrow

the Panamanian Government and did not even

know that SANJUR has visited the Miami area

in mana ten the nte

• several

times this summer.

Additionally, he has not heard

that Cuban exiles are cooperating with Panamanian

exiles to overthrow the Panamanian Government.

He

said it is unlikely that cuban exiles would participate

in such plans and even more unlikely that Cuban exiles

would financially support such plans.

On August 31, 1976, MM T-2 advised that AMADO

SANJUR, exiled PNG Colonel, had been in the Miami

area the preceding week, as a friend of the source was

visiting Miami from Panama at that time and spoke

telephonically with SANJUR.

The friend had been staying

at the Shelborne Hotel, Miami Beach, and encountered

there a bellboy. who is the brother or cousin of SANJUR

and who furnished the visitor a local telephone number

for SANJUR.

Source recalled that he saw SANJUR at the Miami

Beach boxing match in June of this year involving ROBERTO

DURAN, World lightweight champion from Panama. He did

not speak with SANJUR.
