7. A-1 would like to have several of the village radios sent to him in Miami in order to hand carry them to Nicaragua. A-1 was informed we would have to check into the matter.

8. Upon arriving in Miami, A-1 accidentally met Luis Somoza. The latter stated he is going to Egypt, Italy and West Germany. On his return he will stop in Washington to speak to President Johnson and Attorney General Kennedy concerning "his plans."

9. Regarding General Somoza, A-1 mentioned he had no trouble obtaining the contract for the Dolores from the General. A-1 will get the document on his next trip to Nicaragua.

10. A-1 was asked if there were any difficulties in Costa Rica. A-1 stated there was "a little trouble," but nothing of major importance. Cornelio Orlich had spoken to A-1 during his last visit and the former had stated that there would be some grumbling on the part of the Government of Costa Rica but this was intended only to placate the opposition. Cornelio Orlich is scheduled to be operating out of his own office on 7 April. Should there be any need to deal with the Costa Rican Government, A-1 will deal directly with President Orlich. A-1 expects to meet the president on his next tour through Central America. (There was no indication during this portion of the conversation that ARMONDO would be asked to leave Costa Rica.) A-1 was asked if he still stood by his original guess on Cornelio's age, that is, 73. Martin informed A-1 that reports we had received indicated him to be in his 50's. A-1 stated if he is 50 he looks like 73. A-1 asked if we wanted to know his exact age. He was told not to go to any trouble to obtain it; we would just like to know for our own information.

11. Reports received by A-1 indicate Adelaida should presently be at Disneyland.
