                          MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

                          SUBJECT:  Meeting with AMBANG/1

                               1.  I saw AMBANG/1 on 1 and 2 February 1964 and later
                          called him by telephone in San Juan, Puerto Rico on - February.
                          The main items of interest from this meeting follow:

                                   A.  Loss of Cache - AMBANG/l voluntarily raised
                               the subject of the loss of the cache of material on the
                               island of Caja de los Muertos.  The loss arose from a
                               failure to cache these materials on an island south of
                               Cuba in the area of Camaguey Province.- The JURE
                               controlled ship, the M/V VENUS, sailed from Puerto Limon
                               during the month of January with the intent of caching
                               these materials, including some 200 lbs. of the C-4
                               which had been made available to All. On reaching the
                               cache area the ship was surveilled by a small, commercial-
                               type aircraft, resulting in a decision on the part of
                               the VENUS Captain to proceed to Puerto Rico rather than
                               risk the loss of the materials to the Cubans. All
                               stated that he interviewed each member of the crew
                               separately and each told essentially the same story.
                               Upon arriving in the area of Ponce, Puerto Rico, a cache
                               was made on the island previously mentioned with the
                               intent of retrieving the materias in about three days
                               after the ship was refueled and certain repair work
                               done. The location of the cache on Caja de los Muertos,
                               which is normally inhabited only by turtles, but
                               unfortunately, a Puerto Rican searching for turtle eggs
                               spotted the disturbed sand-covering the cache, and
                               eventually the cache, which he reported to Puerto Rican
                               authorities. According to All the materials recovered
                               are believed to be in San Juan, Puerto Rico, now in the
                               hands of the Puerto Rican police. A/l has talked to
                               Governor Munoz Marin's bright, young,-right-hand man,
                               Polanco ADREU, Speaker of the House, who.will.do what he
                               can to return the materials to All. It-is A/I's opinion
                           *  that he stands a 50/50 chance of retrieving the materials.
                              It is A/I'skopinion that the JURE had not been implicated
                              In the cache and that the crew of the VENUS have kept
                              appropriately silent.
