The Information Council of the Americks INCA) of 620 Gravier Street, New Orleans, Louisiana, was recently opened as a source o foreign intelligence information on the radio broadcasting industry in Latin America. The current program of INCA is primarily concerned with the dissemination of taped record- ings of anti-Communist material, called Truth Tapes, to certain radio broad- casting stations in Latin America and North America for use as a weapon a.-ainst Communist penetration in the Americas. Its headquarters are located at 620 Gravier Street, New Orleans, Louisiana 70130. You will find the names of its officers, directors, and consultants given on the enclosed letterhead of the. organization. L 2. We have been in recent contact with Edward Scannell Butler, Executive Vice President and Staff Director, and have received his assurancei of whole- hearted cooperation in our agency's mission. [Yesterday we examined all of the files of correspondence between Mr. Butler and personnel of various radio' stations in 16 Latin American countries.I In order to build up a market for the Truth Tapes program in Latin America, Mr. Butler first obtained from the appropriate consul in New Orleans a list of the radio stations in operation in his country. He next wrote the administrative personnel of these stations about the anti-Comnunist purpose of INCA and offered to supply each station with Truth Tapes. Those stations requesting them were then provided with a series of the tapes. One or t-oo years later, Mr. Butler sent the participating station a questionnaire designed to elicit information-about audience response to the Truth Tapes program. Copies of the first questionnaire and of a revised one are attached for your information. Judging by the responses w read, the INCA correspondence files will provide a limited amount of information, dated .-v4 and 1965, on the identification of radio stations in Latin America which are bro.-adcasting Truth Tapes, their addresses, the names of key personnel, the identification of stations not responding to the ICA offer, sizes of audiences, and their responses.
