                      SUBJECT           Mooting in Mr. Coorr's office, 1100-1230, 13 Oct 61

                      PARTICIPANTS: Mssrs. Goerr, Wollam, Harwitch.
                                        Colonel Johnson


                            1. Colonel Johnson gave a full account of his tro meetings with
                      Dr. MIRO  in Miami on 5 and 6 October' following in detail the Memo-
                      raida for the Record prepared by Colonel Johnson of these meetings.
                      He also otlined the items .Paula had givenalllas .the budget for 1961
                      on thi 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 salarite. Ilwas reaiarked   Colonel Johnsoh that there seemed
                      to be a voiy. good possibility that some of those on the salary list nay
                      also be recelving 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. MIRO. 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 tweacher in Miami, and various other possibilitios were
                     under consideration. Mr. Coorr commented  that the 4stute press rep-
                     resentatives might soon learn the identity of the CIA representative
                     with MIRO,  particularly if opposition leaders like PRIO, who, he re-
                     marked,  already seems to know, should become angry and report in
                     the press what they know'. Mr. Hurwitch stated that MIRO had told him
                     that PRIO., or a representative of PRIO, had said to 111RC. I under-
                     stand that you have a Colonel Johnaon 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 PRIO had
                     learned of the matter,
