MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Telephone Conversation between Martin Ferrer and AMBIDDY-1
DATE: 29 April 1964 at 1100
1. AMBIDDY-1 was reminded that he should make a quick trip to the Dominican Republic to see President Reid and to arrange for drydocking and refueling facilities. A-1 was advised to use a more subtle approach than used on Colonel Lopez of Honduras. A-1's main objective should be to get "his foot in the door" in the Dominican Republic. A-1 should pursue the soft sell rather than the hard sell. Since he sounded a bit reluctant to forego the next operational phase in order to repair the AMBIDIA, A-1 was reassured that the overhauling of the AMBIDIA would take place after the operation rather than before. A-1 will take AMW-4 with him to the Dominican Republic. Should President Reid ask for the name of the shipping company who will act as the agent for Maritima Em, A-1 should say it is the Boyd Brothers Shipping Company.
2. A-1 was asked if he had obtained his U.S. visa. A-1 replied he has all the documents ready and will request it next time he goes to Nicaragua.
3. A-1 has no objection to AMW-19's attending the next meeting in Puerto Rico. The undersigned informed A-1 that we are preparing the intelligence data on the targets he requested, and they will be presented to him at our meeting.
Above from classified as permanent record changed already filed.
