                          MEMORANDUM FOR:  AC/dB/Coc


SUBJECT


:  Release of AMCALL-1


    1b  The negotiation for MFCALL-ls  release was  clmpleted
 by AMECRU-l on 26 August and $120.000 ransom was paid  to the
 Cuban negotiator in Paris at that time. $70,000 of  the ransom
 was provided by the Agency and the $50,000 balance was paid
 by representatives of the Catholic Church. AMECRIUeL anticipated
 ANCALL-19  release would be effected within two months from  the
 time the negotiation was completed. if the Cubans meet this
 tentative time schedule, AMCALL-1 should arrive in Madrid by
 the last week of October.

    2.  Since the Cuban Government nas been unpredictable as
 to the actual date of release in other cases of ransomed prisoners,
 there would appear to be no cause for alar, that nothingfurther
 has been heard-s release,--Although AMSIGm2s
 released within one month of the time his ransom was paid, AMRIPE-2
 was not released for two months, The Cuban Government demonstrated
 its good faith in these negotiations by refunding the AMPAKIC-7
 ransom but they have consistently refused to set a definite time
 table for release of any prisoner which, they insist, is dictated
by individual circumstances and internal conditions  at a specific
time,
