BUBJT         :  Status of ANCALL-1 Ransom Negotiation

      1. On 26 August 1970, $120,000 ransom was
 paid for the release of AMCALL-1. $70,000 of this
 amount was paid by the Agency and AMCALL-1's wife
 arranged to obtain the remaining $50,000 from
 August Vaniatendeol, a prominent Belgian with high
 level Vatican connections interested in AMCALL-1
 who prenuably provided the additional money. Al-
 though there was no firm commitment as to the exact
 time AMCALL-l's release would be effected, AIMCRU-1
 anticipated his release within 60-90 days after
 payment of the ransom.
     2.  Although 6 months have now elapsed since
AMCRU-1  delivered the money to the Cuban negotiator
in Paris, there was no way to determine the reason
for the delay in AMCALL-l's release until AMECRU-1
was able to return to Paris to discuss the matter
with the GOC representative authorized to negotiate
the ransom cases. Since AMECRU-  now resides in
Miaml he is no longer able to maintain an close
contact with the Paris official as was the case when
he lived In Barcelona. However, he did arrange a
trip to Paris in January to discuss the status of
AMALL-1  and other ransom candidates with the GDC
