                           1. The following information was provided by [EMSUMACj O
                      source 1,1. .The date of information is 8 August 1966.,, b   C

                           2. Mitchell Livingston *WERBELL, III, a U.S. citizen,
                      bad made several tr~ps-to the Dominican Republic. On one
                      of tbem, he phoned (General Antofliof*IMBERT Barreras and.
                      QCoimodore) Ramlon Emilior*JIMENEZ, Jr., and told them that he
                      wanted to give them some firearms for their personal defepse.

                      after investigating Werbell further, Jimenez took the case
                      the Minister o  the Armed Forces.

                           4,   MSUMAC4believes that Werbell's purpose is to win
                      the friendship o  military leaders so that he can bring
                      contraband - especially jewelry - into the Dominican Republic.
                      (Station Comment:  Please note reference, for another possible
                      explanation.)

                           5.  As of 1 August 1966, Werbell is prohibited from
                      tnterin- the Dominican Republic. This action, instigated by
                    CEMSUMACi  was based on Werbell's activities in the U.S,, where
                      he has been involved in diverse activities with representatives
                      of various Latin American countries and is considered a tough
                      (hampon).  Werbell has also tried to pass himself off as a
                      representative of the U.S. Government.
                           6.  Werbell has financial problems with the U.S. Govern-
                      ment over payment of back taxes, and his company is bankrupt.
