SUDJECT: Alleged Batistianos-Signed up for the 'amps.
1. Manolo RAY telephoned me Saturday night to tell me that he had heard
from his Miami contact that a number of Batistianos had been recruited for
training in the "camps" and some had already been flown to the camp. He said
he was sure
he understood this resulted from inadequate checking and th.kt/the presence
of these people at the camps could cause considerable trouble. He mentioned
only one name -Cruz Vidal - but said he would seek additional info. Following
Manolois call I phoned giniiirTZ5i)and passed the info on to him. He WAS al-
ready well aware of the problem and was taking remedial action.
