NOTES
Samuelson Released
Victor E. Samuelson, the Esso Argentina executive who was
kidnapped by the People's Revolutionary Army (ERP) on 6 Decem-
ber 1973, was freed by his abductors on 29 April. Samuelson,
who appeared in good health, was released at the home of his
children's pediatrician. He was later driven to a hotel in
downtown Buenas Aires where he was c{uestioned for more than an
hour by Argentine police, according to a Reuter dispatch.
Samuelson was then flown to Miami and is now at an undisclosed
location in the United States. Samuelson was held for 49 days
after Esso Argentina paid his captors a record $14.2 million
in ransom. It has been speculated in the press that Samuelson
was held for such a long period of time after payment of the
ransom in order to give the terrorists time to "launder" the
ransom money so that it could not he traced. Further details
of Samuelson's captivity are as yet unavailable. (UNCLASSIFIED)

Panamanian United States, Unknown ~ The name of the Panamanian Consul General
Consul General Florida does not appear on a list of prominent
Miami ~ persons in Panama marked for "extermina-
tion" which was attached to a letter
thrown into the Panamanian Consulate in
1~~Iiami, Florida. {See 24 April issue,
page B-I-7.) The letter contains de-
tails of heretofore unspecified political
information an anonymous caller offered
for $250,000 outlining a plot to over-
throw the Government of Panama. Vague
mention of a list by the caller was appar-
ently mistakenly interpreted by Consu-
late personnel to mean the Consul was on
a rumored list of Cuban exile leaders in
the Miami area marked for assassination.
The FBI is investigating the incident.

A leader of the Cuban National Liberation Front (FLNC), a

bomb that exploded next~oor to the Cuban Embassy in London
earlier that day, and said that a spokesman for the FLNC had
informed the newspaper that the FLNC was responsible. (Comment:
