KENNEDY ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 1992 RETURN W) CIA Background Use Only Do Not Reproduce 12 February 1964 MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD SUBJECT: Meeting with AMBANG/1 1. I saw AMBANG/1 on 1 and 2 February 1964 and later called him by telephone in San Juan, Puerto Rico on c February. The main items of interest from this meeting follow: A. Loss of Cache - AMBANG/1 voluntarily raised the subject of the loss of the cache of material on the island of Caja de los Muertos. The loss arose from a failure to cache these materials on ant island south of Cuba in the area of Camaguey Province. - The JURE controlled ship, the M/V VENUS, sailed from Puerto Limon during the month of January with the intent of caching these materials, including some 200 lbs. of the C-4 which had been made available to A/i. On reaching the cache area the ship was surveilled'by a small, commercial- type aircraft, resulting in a decision on the part of the VENUS Captain to proceed to Puerto Rico rather thlan risk the loss of the materials to the Cubans. A/1 stated that he interviewed each member of the crew separately and each told essentially the same story. Upon arriving in the area of Ponce, Puerto Rico, a cache was made on the island previously mentioned with the intent of retrieving the materials in about three days after the ship was refueled and certain repair work done. The location of the cache on Caja de los Muertos, which is normally inhabited only by turtles, but unfortunately, a Puerto Rican searching for turtle eggs spotted the disturbed sand--covoring the cache, and eventually the cache, which he reported to Puerto Rican authorities. According to A/l the materials recovered are believed to be in San Juan, Puerto Rico, now in the hands of the Puerto Rican police. A/1 has talked to Governor Munoz Marin's bright, young,--igh-t-hand man, Polanco ABREU, Speaker of the House, who.will. do what he can to return the materials to All. It-is A/'s opinion that he stands a 50/50 chance of retrieving the materials. It Is A/I's opinion that the JURE had not been implicated in the cache and that the crow of the VENUS have kept appropriately silent. SE aE
