1. The meeting was held to bring JMARC personnel up-to-date on
Saturday's special meeting of the Special Group and on the DDP's thinking
resulting from that meeting.
2. Mr. Bissell felt that meeting had sufficiently reviewed the out-
standing problems to permit the following conclusions:
a. We have to be ready to evacuate TRAV of ground trainees,
at least temporarily in the case of an as yet unfixed OAS inspection.
b. We can plan to use Fort Randolph for up to 200 trainees
either for temporary holding or for longer term training.
c. We can anticipate the use of a U.S. installation for
holding evacuees and possibly also for longer term training.
d. There is no objection to continuing air training at MADD
nor to the use of Guatemala pr Nicaragua for basing air strikes.
. e. Even if TRAV is evacuated, it could well be continued
In use for the training of Guatemalans.
3. There was some discussion as to the cover arrangements which
might be arranged for any Z. I. installation chosen for a training area. After
reviewing the probable expense of activating a secure area and the likely
difficulty of creating a "refugee" cover, the balance of the discussion was
concerned with , about which it was agreed:
a. JMARC would promptly ascertain from DDS and OTR what
facilities were available and what problems existed in regard to
its possible use to train up to 600 men.
� b. DDP would explore the various facets of air evacuation
_
from TRAV to VIM including cost, time, and security.- In
regard to the latter, it was suggested that JMCLEAR aircraft
and crews might evacuate to Del Rio with Al 130's transshipping

4. Concurrently, JMARC would continue to explore the most
promising Z. I. sites previously ascertained, and an additional unused
Army post on Florida's west coast.
5. The DDP suggested an evacuation date of about 1 December.
