                              1. As per reference D Heddquarters concurs in this program and has offered
                         to forward requirements if JMWAVE so desires. Since this approval was obtained
                         from Headquarters, I have taken the following steps: (A) requested and obtained
                         some requirements from IS to be .used-in this program and (B) through PASSAVOY
                         have requested some basic informaLion as to specific facilities for use in this
                         program. AMBUD-1 is to advise us on the following matters: if the Hotel Monroe,
                         for which AMBUD receives approximately $800 per month, has space available  for
                         the-establishment of an interrogation center; if AMBUD.has individuals  nows   its
                         payroll who coudd be used in this program as interrogators and translators;   if
                         ARiBUD-1 has, as requested,  advised the group members of AMBUD to each appoint
                         an individua.l as Jefe de Informacionx in such cases where one does not already
                         exist.
                                                                                           are
                              2. My primary purposesin setting up this collection program is/to obtain
                         useful information and to make AMBUD a useful organization with a purpose  in mind--
                         a purpose with a. practical and visible ends. AMBUD is a large organization composed
                          of a admberc bgyps   and individuals which also has affiliates who are rot actual
                         members. The personnel availh  to it is undoubtedly unequailed in the WAVE Area.
                         From this vast reserve of manpower, there is every reason to believe competent
                         interrogators can be found, although most of them would naturally need  training. in
                         interrogation and reporting techniques, which factor can be surmounted.  In addition
                         to the AMBUD personnel supply, there is also  a vast., untouched number of sources in
                         of information in the WAVE area. For example, part of each plane  load skis of exiles
                         which arrives  from CUba is released by Immigration; the remainder (about 2/3) are
                         sent to CAC. Of that number all are screened at CAC and about   are actually
                         interrogated at CAC due to the lack of personnel to handle any more cases.  In KikZX.
                         wardi addition, no  women arriving from Cuba are interrogated at CAC. Therefore,
                         the number of persons who are potential sourcs  of information available  to AMBUD
                         would be approximately 2/3 of all those arriving from Cuba, plus all  the women.

                              3.  I think we should approcah this information collection program with  an
                          aim of .mfin  it an a:tual going concern and not a holelig operation or  as  ust
                          an ac in  y  o keep AMBUD busy or make them feel they are contributing  to te  ceasse.
