FOR THE MINING: HE DENIED HE HAD GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS FOR

COMMISSION OF THE MINING OR THAT HE KNEW IT WAS GOING TO

• FIGHTING AGAINST CASTRO AND COMMUNISM THROUGH OUT THE

CARIBBEAN AND WHERE EVER OPPORTUNITIES ARE PRESENTED. BOSCH

CLAIMED HE FIRST RECEIVED NOTICE OF THE MINING BETWEEN

9 AND 11 PM, OCTOBER 11 LAST BY MEANS OF A COMMUNICATION

WHICH HE DECLINED TO IDENTIFY, AND THIS ACCOUNTED FOR

HIS BELATED PRESS BELEASE• HE DECLINED TO NAME ANY OF THE

INDIVIDUALS RESPONSIBLE OR TO FURNISH OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION.
