MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD


SUBJECT


:  Meeting in Mr. Coerr'a office, 1100-1230, 13 Oct 61


PARTICIPANTS: Msers. Coerr, Wollain, Huriitch, Whidbee,
                   Colonel Johnson


       1. Colonel Johnson gave a full account of his two meetings with
 Dr.:MIRO  in Miami on 5 and 6 October, following in detail the Memo-
 redda for the Riecord prepared by Colonel Johnson of these meetings.
 He also outlined the items Paula had given Dean as .the budget for 1961
 on the basis of their receiving $100, 000 for that month. That outline,
 it was remarked, appears to be largely the same as the old FRD budget.
 All present felt that this budget appeared to be well-padded and.largely
 for salasUes. Itwarsremarked by Colonel Johnson that there seemed
 to be a vojy good. possibility that some of those on the salary list may
 also be receiving support from HEW. Colonel Johnson remarked that
 he would be seeing-Dr. MIRO on Monday. 16 October, at which time
 he expects to clarify some of the budget matters and also to got from
 CIA's Miami station some more details from Mr. Paula.

      2.  Mr. Coorr raised the question of what was the cover to be
 used by Colonel Johnson in his contacts with Dr. MUO. Colonel Johnson
 said that-the cover question had not yet been resolved, that it was
 questionable how long any cover would hold up, particularly with the
 press, that the cover of public relations consultant, the cover of a
 research man or.teacher in Miami, and various other possibilities wers
 under consideration. Mr. Coerr commented that the astute press rep-
 resentatives might soon learn the identity of the CIA representative
 with MIRO. particularly if opposition leaders like PRIG, who, he re-
 marked, already seems to know, should become angry and report in
 the press what they knowv. Mr. Hurwitch stated that MIRC had told him
 that PRIO, or a representative of PRIG, had said to MR , I under-
 stand that you have a Colonel Johnson as your representative with the
 U. S. Government. MIRO  also declared to Mr. Hurwitch that only
he, MIRO,  and his secretary, ARAGON, had reason to know of
Colonel Johnson's role. There was some speculation on how PRIG had
learned of the matter.
