                              1. As per; reference D Heddquar.ters 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 infornation as to specific facilities for use in this
                         program. AMBUD-1 is to advise us on the following matters: if the Hotel Monroe,
                         fcr which ANBUD receives approximately $800 per month, has space available for
                         the- establishment of an interrogation center; if AMBUD.has individuals ,nowgs its
                         payroll who could be used in this program as interrogators and translators;7 if .
                         AMBRUD-1 has, as requested, advised the group members of AMBUD to each appoint
                         an individual as Jefe de Informacionx in such cases where one does not already
                         exigt.
                                                                                          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 aad visible ends. AMBUD is a large organization composed
                         of a numberc  bfips   and individuals which also has affiliates who are not actual
                         members. The personnel avaibb  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 wkt 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 aukxh
                         waida addition, no  women arriving from Cuba are interrogated at CAC. Therefore,
                         the number of persons who are potential sources of information available to AMBU)
                         would be approximately 2/3 of all teose arriving from Cuba, plus all the women.

                              3.  I think we should approcah this information collection program with an
                         aim o  .ma in  it an a:tual going concern and not a holelag operation or as just
                         an  aciivi y  o keep AMBUD busy or make them feel th-y are contributing to the case.
