The report enclosed with your memorandum reflects that Julio Fernandez?Trevejo, who described himself as a very close associate and confidant of Masferrer, furnished the following per? ?tinent information concerning the twenty-seVen man invasion force which landed in cube in October 1960, under the leadership of Armentino Feria Perez. Masferrer acted as counsel and adviser in the preparations of this group and was- in charge of handling the men who were to go on the expedition. Four boats were utilized in the operation. The "Aladino," piloted by Horacio Canizares Padron, was scheduled to rendevous with the "Sunsport," piloted by Frank Joseph Williams, at Mira Por Vos, about sixty miles north of Guba. At this point, the "Aladino" was to pick up the men, supplies, arms and nec- essary equipment for the expedition to invade Guba. The ?Sunsport? was to transport the fuel for the "Aladino" to make the trip from Mira For vos to Cuba and return. The "Mary Ann? piloted by'Santiago Alvarez, was to transport the men from.Miami?to an island in the Bahamas about oneuhalf way to Mira Por Vos. A fourth boat, piloted by an individual known only as Cartaya, was to transport the arms, uniforms and equip- ment to an island somewhere in the Bahamas, approximately midway between Miami and Mira For Yes. Masferrer knew that arms and ammunition were to be transported on one of the boats and all the persons involved knew they were to embark on a military expedition. At this point, Fernandez' statement is non?specific concerning details but apparently all four boats did participate to some extent in the invasion. Fernandez made I available a book which reflected the contributions received and monies gasp?? I diabursed for this expedition. ?Kp?h . .

Fernandez is identical with MM 635-3, heretofore a valuable paid security informant of Miami,- however, informant was not known to have been involved in plot until time of arrest. Fernandez claims that he had no prior knowledge of kidnapping scheme and no opportunity to: advise ?Miami Office of plot before his arrest. Mrs. Taaffe claims that scheme was first broached to her in mid January, 1960, by Valdes and two unidentified Cuban Agents in Havana. By cable 2/4/60 . Legat, Havana, has now reported that official of Cuban National Police has advised U. S. Embassy official in Havana that subjects, both of whom are connected with Cuban police agencies, acted entirely on their own and without official sanction in this matter. According to this Cuban official, Mrs. Taaffe, who is known to Cubans as agent for Cuban counterrevolutionary group supported by Dominican Dictator Trujillo, originated the plot against Masferrer and recruited Fernandez and Valdes. This source further reported that Mrs. Ta fe's ,motive was to promote adverse publicity against Castro regime. y) It is clear that one or the principals involve ?here are not telling the truth. .

M1- 1 With respect to the microphone installatio? ?1?Kmade in this instance, the following is submitted: The microphone was installed in room 342 and monitored in room 340, adjoining. The installation.was made in the following manner: Room 342 consists of a foyer leading in from the hall, a bath just to the left of the foyer and a sleeping?sitting area beyond the foyer and bathroom. The walls are plaster, the ceiling of the sleeping area is plaster, and the foyer ceiling consists of fiberglass, acoustical tile approximately 24? 24? - square, laid in channels in such manner that merely 1 El pushing up on them lifts them out of the channel. They are tag; not fastened down in any other manner mxyuj . The microphone was placed in one section of acouSti? ., Egg cal tile, located as close to the sleeping?sitting area as possible, and close tossth?gwall dividing rooms 342 and 340. -gc? This was done by cutting out a rectangular portion of the '9 "lg back of te tile,-J st?large enough to accomodate the Mons . 4 preamplifkf and microphone, down to, but not including, Mfg}- - Ii Eegw Bu?re??uvgep - . 280/11Sgt; 2 - Miami {Liaise m? . . 221%; ED - a? .. LOT(6) Wffy wg? ?t ck i [1?1 an54460 Page 2 if105-2307 Sub II the texture? finish surface of the tile so that replacing -the tile would make it appear the tile was whole, and no diff- -erent from any of the other tile in the ceiling. Additional soundproofing material, fiberglass, was placed over the top of the microphone to filter out extraneous noises and sound coming from other parts of the hotel. The microphone leads were then attached to a section of shielded microphone wire, taped and the micrOphone wire fed through a hole in theppar-' tition between the two reoms, and brought out into room 340 through a hole made by removing one of the corre3ponding tiles in_room 340. The hole in the partition was already existent as a result of feeding conduit and airconditioning - ducts between the rooms at the time of original construction. All of the above wire work, of course, was concealed above the afore- described ceiling in the Open Space between the tile ceiling and the actual poured cement ceiling, a a space approximately two feet high. The tile cont?ning the Mouse microphone was placed back into position and the area carefully checked for any fallen debris that suspicion, and all such matter was carefully removed; In room 340 the micropho wire was fed into the input side of the Mouse power supply and the outputs fed, (1) the 500 Ohm output fed into the 500 Ohm input of'a .Magnecorder tape recorder, (2) the High Impedance output at- tached directly to a pair _of earphones. Preliminary tests of the above installation showed . it to have better than average pick-up of conversations in room 342 with, of courSe, no extraneous noises, such as running water, radios playing or the television set turned on, any one of which Would tend to decrease the intelligence of 'ny conversation in the room to a point below usefulness. yg 1A) - The above installation was made by SA ROBERT E. SUNKEL, Soundman assigned to the Miami Office, and was Completed approximately two hours before the contemplated meeting. g??zA} . . 2 1. tsp. . i CONFIDWW. arm 1 NH 54460 Page 3 \e - MM 105-2307 Sub 1r series or parallel, gutting theSe leads might or might not dis- connect service'to.other rooms in the hotel. In addition, in View of subjett's expressed suSpicions, it was decided not ?to.do anything-with the loudspeaker at all; if both the-tele- vision set and the loudspeaker were out of operation, subject's suspicions would most certainly be aroused. It is also pointed out that subject was then .occupying a room in the hotel, which.was known, and he would therefore most certai?ly be susPicious of any appointments not?in room 342 which he normally would have in his own room. Therefore, the television set was not removed. W1: With respect to the three points raised in Bureau airtel of February 4, 1960, the following is submitted: (1) SA GEORGE DAVIS was aware of-the kidnap, against MASFERRER, and the possibility that might be involved was considered;-note arrived in Miami around noontime, January 27, 1960, the same day that VALDES, an unidentified aide to RAUL CASTRO, and SA acting in an undercover capacity, were scheduled to meetkat about 7:30 At 12:45 P.M., January 21:?i960, advised he had just arrived_from Havana and??as being detained by Immigration and Naturalization Service, Miami, f?r question? ing. No attempt was made by,SA DAVIS to question him at that time for obvious At about 1:20 P.M., Mrs. CATHERINE TAAFFE tele- phonically advised+SA ROBERT JAMES DWYER that.she had been informed by VALDES that an aide to RAUL CASTRO had arrived in Miami. She claimed the aide had met with VALDES, and was anxious to meet with the local police officer concerning the kidnaping of MASFERRER37"; z! i 32 . 3:7? a .

This information, therefore, appeared to preclude the possibility_of MM-635-S being involved, inasmuch as being in INS custody, he could not have met with VALDES as reported by TAAFFE. -At approxi??tely 5:15 P.M., telephoned SA DAVIS, stating he had just been released by INS and was calling from a nearby pay phene. The following-interroga- rtion took place by SA DAVIS in a further effort to establish if might be involved in the kidnaping plot. stated he was nearby, but had to leave immediately for -an appointment for which he was already late due to his detention by INS, and that he_was supposed to have called JOHN EK (phonetic) earlier in the afternoon, that he was spending the night at EK's (phonetic) home. SA DAVIS asked if he was going to-meet any other Americans that evening, having in mind the local police officer the Cuban. gAgents were scheduled to meet. MM-635-S answered in the neg~ ative., DAVIS then brOught'up the matter of a meet with who suggested 8:00 the.same evening. -He was ad? vised that SA DAVIS had two other appointments that eVening and would be_busy at 8:00 P.M., but that should call him later in the evening in case of any urgent develop- ments.' agreed. It was decided to meet personally the following morning. The fact that suggested an 8:00 meet with SA DAVIS on of-January 27, 1960, seemed to further preclude his involvement in the kidnaping plot, as the Miami International Hotel meet was scheduled for 7:30 P.M. The probability that he was_not involved was made ,_own to SA HOLLOMAN and SA therefore, by DAVIS. fa) SA DAVIS refrained from volunteering the name of VALDES to for reasons of security, and at no time - 5 NH 54450 nacIn:32330453 Page 5 Sub. 11? mention this name. DAVIS did not participate in the arrests at the Miami International Hotel on the evening of January 27, 1960; No further contact was had with By DAVIS until after his arrest, and this office had no reasonable wax of knowing about his involvement prior t?o_his arrest. In mitigation of.the informant's position, it is ?noted he has claimed he did not'know the purpose of his con- tact with VALDES until after his last contact with SA DAVI35 at which time it was apparently too late fer him to withdraw. It is also noted he subsequently explained to SA DAVIS he was not thinking clearly at the time he was last contacted by SA DAVIS because of loss of sleep and prolonged questioning by. that he would have immediately reported the facts 0 after the_meeting if he had not been arrested. 14) SA HOLLOMAN was aware of the informant's identity by name only prior to his meeting with the Subjects.r He had no reason to believe the informant would be involVed -and had. in fact, kept in close content with SA DAVIS prior to the meeting in order to determine whether there was any possibility that the informant might be in contact There was no indication the_informanttwas involved in the . ,plot; therefore5 when a man by thE same name came to the meeting with VALDES, HOLLOMAN '?thcluded that if this was actually the informant, he must be double?crossing the Bureau. In any event, SA HOLLOMAN concluded_it was too late at this point to logically cut the informant out of the consPiracy without revealing his status to and thereafter pro- ceeded to treat him as a subject. -When the meeting had reached its conclusion he thereuPon voiced the agreed signal for the agents in the next room to move in and make-the arrests. (3) The surVeillance of the meetin- between SA HOLLOMAN and the subjeCts was rendered practieally .useless because the television inithe roomoccupi'ed by u} - 5 - CONFI NTIAE NH 54460 DunId:32330453 Page 6 .cowno?nm.?

None of the 'conversation of the subjects, and only part of the conver? sation of SA the next room. Supervisor ALBAUGH was monitoring what conversation would be understood, with one ear against the connecting door, and the other with an earphone. It was possiblethereby to over- hear the agreed signal from SA HOLLOMAN to m0ve in and make the arrests. Supervisor ALBAUGH, upon entering the room'oc? eupied by HOLLOMAN and the subjects, placed one of the sub- jects (who turned out to be FERNANDEZ) under arrest and searched him for weapons. ALBAUGH did not recognize him personally, never having seen him befOre; however, upon're? questing his name and-comparing his features With the identi- fication card in his-possession, he first realized he must At this point it was t00 late to do an th?ng 3 other than treat him as a subject,-which-was 7 Previous inquiry at the'hotel had revealed GEORGE VALDES was registered alone.

He said that on 2/11 or 12/60, Judge Choate in Miami conferred with USA Madsen and an FBI agent,. and subsequently reduced the bond of the two subjects in this case fr6m $30, 000 to 000. Mr. Wilkey noted that, by memorandum of 1/27/60 we advised the Department that there was a possibility that if the two subjects were not kept in jail, they would depart for Cuba. as they met the lower bail. Wilkey noted that the two. subjects are new in Cuba, inasmuch Mr. Wilkey wanted to know whether, at the time the bail was reduced, desirable to the FBI had rendered an opinion th-at it would be reduce the bail in order that the subjects could get out of jail, bearing; 1n mind that one of the subjects is an FBI informant, he left jail. .?25 check and find out just what happened here.' I checked with SAC Teague in Miami. accordance with Bureau instructions, SA George Davis advised USA - Madsen .on 1/29/60 (2 days after the subjects were apprehended) that one of the subjects had been an FBI informant, so informed, as the matter could well come out during the trial. USA said he would like to think this matter over, an agent to accompany him later to see the Judge, and from an intelligence standpoint he could produce after I told Mr. Wilkey that we would not ordinarily express opinions in matters of bail or prosecution, but that I would like to He said that, in 6 and the USA was-being The and might request as Judge should know of the informant status of one of thifsub ?eg?

Mr. Parsons FBI informant, and that Agent Davis could furnish the details. Davis told the Judge that the informant, MM had been coopera- ting with the Bureau for a considerable period of time prior to his arrest, and had been an effective paid informant. The Judge asked if the informant could be used again in view of his arnat. Davis told-him that we we try to continue to use him if the opportunity presented. itself. x, made any recommendation to the Judge regarding possible leniency, or reduction in the bond, either directly or by inference. The Judge said that he had recently had a case brought before him regarding Rolando Masferrer and his brother,-wherein Immigration and Naturalization Service wanted to exclude these individuals. The Judge said he wanted to fair and objective; that if he decided the Masferrers should be excluded, this could be constructed as favorable to the Castro government.'10n the other hand, if he took action against the two Cuban defendants in this case, this would be inconsistent with granting an exclusion order against the Masferrers. The Judge said he wanted to consider the case involving the exclusion order first,~and would wait to act on the kidnaping case. The Judge said he would consider reducing bail for the two defendants, if the defense attorney so requested. USA Madsen said he would work this out with the Defense Attorney. a - '3 According to eague, neither Agent Davis, nor the USA, I called Mr. Wilkey back and advised him of the above. -I pointed out that, as I had previously indicated, it was not in the. province of the Bureau to make recommendations as to bonds, or whether a man should stay in jail, and that no such opinion was expressed by the Bureau in this case. I asked Wilkey what he had in mind. He said that he knew this was the Bureau policy and he was trying to satisfy himself as to what caused the reduction in bail, and whether it was better for these defendants to remain in Cuba, or whether the Department should try to bring them back and try them. .He asked if the Bureau had an opinion on this from an intelligence standpoint. I told him we did not; that while we would receive any Winformation that this informant sent to us, we would make no request that the trial he held up, or that the Department hold up on any attempts to get the defendants out of Cuba. - .1 54460 Page 3 Mr..Parsons I told Mr. Wilkey that, as far as we were concerned, he could disregard any intelligence aspects in connection with proseCu? tion of this case, I told him, however, that he would probably want the case carefully reviewed, from the standpoint of its strength, bearing in mind that one'of the principal witnesses was Catherine. Taafe, whose reliability was questionab e, and one Of the defendants had been an informant of the Bureau. - 'It would appear that Wilkey is examining this case from the standpoint of action at this time. He understands clearly that the Bureau has made no requests and will make no requests to delay action in the case, either from an intelligence standpoint or from the stand- point that one of the defendants was a Bureau informant.

KRAJCIK said she did not know the name. of? the friend in Steuben.ville or Toronto, and had no way of knowing if MARTINEZ was lying about getting the money from him.

Castro g0vernment and its.embassies He also said thata?gigL, rec 'kly there was a talk betwe embers of the Front La and ORLANQO of the Cuban' ?on Movemen . Duri ~?his talk, the bars of the Front told GUTIERREZ that if they tried to take credit ior. any activity carried out by the Front, there would be serious problems between the two organizations. PEREZ stated that at present, the members of thegFront have no connection what-' soever.with Cuban Action.v Heaalso advised that the Fnont is willing to kill, even within the U.S., those Cubans who are involved in betraying the Cuban cause, i.e. those involved in any gesture of understanding with the castro government. LOPEZ emphasized that his son said that.even though they have plenty of people in Mexico City, for members of the Front have gone to Mexico to help in the attack. JENARO PEREZ indicated that the man in charge of propaganda for the Front is REBEN DARIO, and-during the conversation he said that onegof the principal men of action is HUMBERTO LOPEZ, JR., who has ample experience in military matters, because he is-a veteran of the U.S. Army. He also stated that they are new setting up secret cells, independent ?of each other, in various parts of the U.S. and Puerto Rico, so that in case the "Feds? are able to capture one cell, the others will have no problems. During the long talk concerning the Front, he said that the movement has several young men who are American citizens and as such, can move freely anywhere in the world.

This commun3que stated that RUBEN DARIO was an agent of Fidel Castro. LOP 32 said that he is very suspicious about the Communist leanings of RUBEN DARIO, but he has no proof. He also said he has learned that the communication maRing these charges was written by ORLANDO BOSCH, leader of Accion Cubana, based only on the fact that he is jealous of the work being done by the Liberation Front. Finally, he said that the Front is trying to prove that this document was sponsored by ORLANDO BOSCH, and if they are able to prove this, BOSCH will be murdered by the men of the. Front. NH 5446i] Page Miami, Florida March 1, 1974 . At 9:30 a.m. today, DARIO came to the offibes of WP . He is leader of Abdala and a member of- the propaganda section of the terrorist group "National Liberation Front of Cuba". DARIO requested a copy of the AP cable ineWhich newsman IKE FLORES annOunced an inter- 'view with the leader of ?Cuban Actibn." DARIO commented privately that it was idiotic for ORLANDO BOSCH to have given a personal interview to newsman FLORES, since if FLORES were called by a Grand Jury, he would be obliged to testify about the interview, and naturally, he would give the name of ORLANDO BOSCH. DARIO said that in the story, BOSCH tried to link himself with the Liberation Front, but this is not true, since the Front would never make any pact with Cuban Action, because BOSCH will not be careful, and at any moment he may be arrested again. NH 54460 Page 3 4 Miami, Florida March 18, 1974 :9 ~At 8:30 p.111, today, the writer had a confidential 'talk with HUMBERTO LOPEZ, SR., who adviSed that the leaders of the Cuban Liberation Front had agreed not to Carry out reprisals againstl MQBA since the company was not really a threat to the lplans_of the Front. However, they discussed the possibility of a terrorist attack against'Mr. EMILIO MILIAN, Program and News Director of that radio station, sinceihe was the only one to blame for the attacks against the Front made by that radio station. LOPEZ pointed out that nothing would be done againstr MILIAN immediately, and that he is opposed and will continue to oppose this attack. HUMBERTO LOPEZ also stated that there really was an attack on the writer' 3 life, and that this attack had been carried out by people connected with MAX LESNIK and ORLANDO BOSCH, since the Cuban Action Movement is practically at war with the National Liberation Front of Cuba, and ORLANDO BOSCH feels that the writer is connected with or part of the? Front. Finally, LOPEZ said that LESNIK is now saying that the.writer wants to kill him, and according to LOPEZ, this seems very strange to him. NH 54460 DucId:3233254T Page 9 f.

SUBJECT: GUTIERREZ WOYO, Aka IS - CUBA (00: Miami) Re Newark letter to Bureau, 6/29/62. Contacts with Cuban informants and sources during July and August, 1962 have produced no infermation concerning collections being made in New Jersey by Second National Front of'Escambrey or representatives. On 8/27/62, PSI DIONISEO FELINO RODRIGUEZ, .U?ion City, Neijersey, advised that he could not further identify SILBERIO who reportedly had made attempts to collect money supposedly for subjectu's group about March, 1962. PSI indicated that this individual was possibly from New York and,instead of an organized acollection attempt,cou1d have been someone who was attempting to obtain personal financial benefit. As previously reported, INS file, credit and criminal checks have produced no information concerning this person whose name might be in in error. Newark, therefore, is making no further attempts. to identify RODRIGUEZ.
