     1.  SUMMARY.  The Reference A. AMSPELL exhibit toured six
Latin American countries during a five-month period, February-June
1964.  With the exception of Guayaquil and La Paz -- where excel-
lent results were achieved -- the tour was only moderately success-
ful, and must be classified a failure in Quito, Santiago and
Montevideo.  According to AMSPELL, the total number of persons who
viewed the exhibit was 6,720.  Another 2,792 persons reportedly
attended conferences at whi.ch the AMSPELL team gave talks on the
Reference A. exhibit and the dangers-andreaknesses  ofCastro--.
Communism.- 'Publicity was given the exhibit by 34 newspapers (47
items), 30 radio stations, and six television stations.  AMSPELL
estimated the TV audience at 1,300,000.  Sample clippings are
enclosed under separate cover.  Reports from WH stations and the
WAVE debriefing of the AMSPELL team lead us to conclude that the
tour was a moderate success that could have been much better if
if had been better organized and if the AMSPELL team had had more
experience. (On balance) we believe the tour was well worth the
approximately $12,000.00 KUBARK paid out.  We do not, however,
believe it should be repeated in the foreseeable future in view
of the relative inexperience shown by the AMSPELL team on the
recent tour and the many difficulties encountered in trying to
organize the exhibit in the various cities.
