MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

SUBJECT: Telephone Conversation with AMBIDDY-1 and Raul Hernandez (as Martin Ferrer)

DATE: 14 March 1964, 1230 hours

1. AMBIDDY-1 would like to have a meeting with the Consul as soon as possible to talk over many outstanding problems and to discuss thoroughly the new budgetary procedure. Martin informed A-1 that this would be brought to Henry's attention upon his return. A-1 is speaking to the Agrupacion para la Reconstruccion Economica de Cuba on Wednesday, 18 March, so he cannot make it for that date.

2. A-1 advised that Luis Santiago has accepted the offer to work for AMWORLD and will be returning from Spain shortly.

3. A-1 has not yet heard from the Filipino and requests that we check into this matter.

4. A-1 was asked for his opinions concerning the BMJM people. A-1 is very pleased with the survey and feels that the engineers' plans are reasonable and fitting to his project. A-1 estimated, however, that the total figure may be in the $300,000 category. This is another subject which A-1 would like to discuss in the next meeting.

5. Another topic he wants to discuss is the transfer of the C-47 to Nicaragua.

6. A-1 informed us that "key personnel" are no longer listed on the budget; however, there are individuals who are on the payroll of guerrillas and infiltrators who are in Miami and are receiving retainers.

7. A-1 was informed that the propagation charts for the month of April are on their way to him.

[Signed]
Raul J. Hernandez
