                                 SUBJECT: Cuba TDY - Edward 0. Tichborn (P)

                                                                          1
                                     1.  On 4 January I talked vit            Cuba desk, about
                                 Tichborn' s TDY to Cuba. He v not ent     up on the matter; it
                                 was agreed that we would meet            C/Ws/Cuba, on 5 January.

                                     2.  Mr            s unable to attend; however,- I let Mr.
                                 read the file and poined out that I wanted to know specifically if
                                 they were still interested in Tichborn going to Cuba, when they wished
                                 him to go, and stated that I wished to have an idea of what operational
                                 use they intended to make of him. Noie specifically I staLed that I
                                 did not feel that Tichborn should be connected in any way with
                              o6- I considered the latter to be copletely blown. I also
                                told Mr.       that, eccordidS to the pxevioui correspondence, WI
                                vould be expected to pick up -the tab for Tichborn's expenses as well
                                as his fee which I expected to be in the neighborhood of $1,500, this
                                sum being within the figure mentioned in Mr. Collin's memorandum to
                                Col. King.

                                     3.  Later on in the afternoon, Mr     tTalled to say that they
                                were prepared to go ahead: that they hod  t  Tichborn could be
                                available for briefing in Washington on 18 January. They envisaged
                                this briefing as being-very cursory. The main briefing will be given
                                by station personnel following Tichborn' a arrival in Havana.
                                Wr'7   =called   my attention to IN 47609 in, which it was stated
                                that the Havana Station would brief Tichborn, introduce him to a few
                                contacts -- I hope they von't introduce him in a manner which will
                                completely blow him before he starts -- and that they suggested that
                                he rep tesent himself- as an attorney engaged by.unidentified American
                                businesamen to explore the investment opportunities in Cuba.
