CONTACT REPORT # 57

OPERATION: AMWORLD
DATE TYPED: 14 Apr. 64
CONTACT: AMWHIP-19
TIME AND PLACE: 1500-1630, 13 Apr. 64, S/R

SUMMARY

1. 22 PRQ is turned over for traces.

2. As per UFM-3513 A-19 was reminded that in the future it is absolutely necessary that the AMWORLD monthly accounting be received on time, otherwise our payments may be delayed.

3. Payroll changes: Courtier discussed the payroll changes noted in UFM-3501. The two crewmen mentioned were terminated for being AWOL but were carried for two months before being told that they would not be given another chance. The two examples cited for pay increases are explained by the fact that simply the two men were still in the WAVE area and they received no family allotment. They are not at the camps and so are being paid more. A-19 was reminded that the insurance forms must be submitted in order for an AMWORLDER to be covered and that if a person is terminated all coverage ceases and will not be resumed automatically if the person is re-hired. A-19 says he understands this perfectly and will keep us up to date on all hirings and firings.

4. A-19 was reminded that some of the PRQ is submitted for traces are unnecessarily vague, citing the case of one submitted from Puerto Rico on Oscar RODRIGUEZ Fernandez. The subject's record for employment lists "Secret Police" without indicating when or for what government.

5. The Case Officer told A-19 that the Commo log had learned that Captain Emilio BLANCO and Gustavo de los REYES may wish to be re-employed -- and that they might prove useful and should be given a hearing. A-19 replied that BLANCO had been trying to get re-employed for a while but he had resisted this because he did not feel that BLANCO was needed at this stage of the project. However, he would think it through, and if he decided that BLANCO might prove useful in the future, A-19 said that he would get in touch with him.
