                       1.  Sulbect phoned me on 9 September 1959 to say that he was
                  in Atlants and to ask if anything yd been done concerning our use
                  of hin ir -the Zomirican Republi  VI told bid that we are still
                  'vaiting the results ofrthe invesigation ana that I would be in
                  touch with h!= when the information is complete. He said it was
                  rather urgent that he go to the Donhican Republic because of the
                  may rumors that something is about to start there against Cuba.
                  I told him that I appreciated his sense of urgency but that the
                  matter is nM   e that I cnn control.  Subject said that he has
                  some business reasons for going there but that they are not -
                  sufficiently trgent to warrant his spending his own funds for a
                  trip to the Daoinican iiepublic at this time. He said that Joe
                  MEROLA and a mmber of others have been discussing the counter-
                  faiting of Umited States dollars and Cuban pesos for use in
                  connection vith Cuban revolutionary activities.

                      2.  i t:1          &%ett-.t i c. # e Alhi  aLuer, which was a
                 possible serius  violation of United States law, I would urge him
                 to visit the FI  office in Atlanta and to give them the full
                 story on this =atter.  He said he would do so on the following
                 day.

                      3.  On 13 September Subject phoned me at mr home to say that
                 he had been t see  the FBI people in Atlanta an! that they had
                 referred him to the Secret Lervice office there because of the
                 counterfeiting aspect. He said no one seemed particularly
                 interested in t-he gun running aspect of the situation. He said
                 that the Sece: Service had asked him to go to Miai  at his own
                 expense to otaini further information on the atter.  He asked
                 my advice. I said that I could not influence him one way or the
                 other on this since I was not in a position to direct his activities,
                 but I felt he =iht be better off to take no action in regard to
                 this sitvation since he'vas not in a position to lay out the
                 additione.l money that would be required for another tri:, to Miai.
                 I told Subject 1 would be in touch with him as soon as I had further
                 inforzation caozerning our possible use of him.
