White Deputy Director of Security (IOS) S-E-C-R-F-T (When Filled In 14-00000 Skewer/1201 26 January 1965 MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD SUBJECT: Antilles Material Company Limited (AMCO) - Meeting with SKEWER/1 on the Relationship of the Puerto Rican Cement Company to AMCO 2, λε agreed in his il January 1965 meeting with SKEWER/1, Hr. Edward Stanulis telephoned SKEWER/1 on the morning of 18 January to arrange a meeting with SKEWER/1 at his convenience later in the day. SKEWER/1 suggested a meeting at 1500 hours that afternoon in his office at the Puerto Rican Iron Works in Fonce. He indicated to Mr. Stanulis that the Puerto Rican Cement Company looks with favor on AMCO and is doing business with it through its Manager, Mr. Alvin T. Philpotts, Jr. 2. Prior to the meeting, Messrs. Allen, Carter, and Stanulis reviewed the approach to be made to SKEWER/1 in the light of his favorable view of AMCO. It was agreed that no mention would be made of the fact that AMCO is in poor financial condition or that Mr. Philpotte is inade- quate as a manager. Stress would be laid upon assessment of the long-term commercial viability of AMCO because KUBARK is ostensibly interested in placing an officer in a managerial position in AMCO, or some other similar firm, in order to monitor Castro's activities in the Caribbean area. 3. Messrs. Allen, Carter, and Stanults arrived pre- cisely at 1500 hours at SKEWER's office on the second floor of the Puerto Rican Iron Works. His male secretary asked us to take seats in the corridor outside his office. Within a few minutes his "sacretary reappeared and asked us to wait in the Conference Room. Some ten minutes later SKEWER/1 appeared and invited us into his private office. He war extremely cordial and gracious. Mr. Stanulis intro- duced Mr. Allen as a colleague who is assessing AMCO's com- mercial viability. He introduced Mr. Carter as a lawyer consultant who is obtaining background information in the event KUBARK should decide to proceed with placement of an officer in AMCO. : SECRET 14-00000 -2- 4. Mr. Allen informed SKEWER/1 that SUBARK is assessing the factors bearing on the long-term commercial viability of AMCO. Se explained that K:MARK does not want to place an officer in a company which is not commercially viable for the long term. One of the factors bearing on the commercial via- bility of AMCO is the relationship of the Puerto Rican Cement Company with AMCO and the terms of any agreements. We would also like his views on commodities other than cement wirici can be siιμρού τα uesto co to the outer islands and what commodities can be shipped on return voyages. Another factor of interest is competition in the shipping field. 5. SKEVER/1 indicated that he needed some clarifi- cation of KUBARK objectives. Mr. Stanulis reviewed KUBARK ostensible interest in having an experienced commercial man in a commercially viable shipping company for the purpose. ✓of checking on Castro activities in the Caribbean area. SKEWER/1 assumed that Mr. Fhilpotts was the man in whom we are interested. Mr. Allen dispelled this assumption. explaining that KUBARK has a candidate whom we would like to place in a managerial position in A100 if it is ceter- mined that NMCO is commercially viablo. KUBARK would seek to effect this placement through a friend on the Board who, like SKEWER/1, has helped KUBANK in the past and would undoubtedly help again. SKEWER/1 said, "Oh, yes, through the top man in the company." He then asked if Mr. Thilpotts would know of KUBARK interest. Mr. Allen replied no, emphasizing that our interest should be closely held. : 6. SKEWER/1 said that he had not realized that we wanted so much detail and asked if we desired to talk with the man in his company most familiar with ANCO. Mr. Stanulis declined, emphasizing that we wanted to keep our interest in this matter confined solely to SKEWER/1. SKEWER/1 1m- mediately agreed to make the necessary telephone calls to obtain answers to our questions. As the basis for his Inquiry, he would ask about the amount of credit extenced by the Puerto Rican Cement Company to AMCO. SKEWER/L then made a series of telephone calls to one of his subordinates named Touns and also made one call to his son. Information was obtained in the above telephone calls: The following a. AMCO has 2 or 3 ships under charter and ships primarily coment to Martinque, Guadaloupe, Barbados, and Antigue, SECRET 14-00000 i -3- b. The uerto Rican Cement Company has a verbal agreement with r. Thilpotts granting him exclusive distribution of cement in Guadaloupe, Barbados, and Antigua, c. AMCO currently owes the Nuerto Rican Cement Company $40,000 and is slow in payment. d. The normal procedure for payment is for the consignee to pay Mr. Philpotts by & note which the Puerto Rican Cement Company discounts. e. The Puerto Rican Cement Company is currently examining how much credit it can extend to ANCO. In this connection the company is examining whether credit extended to AMCO can be insured under the Foreign Credit Insurance Association. (FCIA insures 80% of export credit.) If so, the risk to the Puerto Rican Cement Company would be reduced and further credit could be extended. f. The Puerto Rican Cement Company has sold 133,000 bags of cement to AMCO. : 7. SKEWER/1 said that Mr. Philpotts is aggressive and that he is pushing Fuerto Rican cement. Mr. Carter csked SKEWER/1 if his firm were worried about the amount of credit extended to AMCO. SKEWER/1 replied that AMCO is trying to help the Puerto Rican Cement Company and Puerto Rican Cement is in turn trying to help ANCO. SKEWER/1 imparted the impression that he has absolute confidence in his subordinates. In calling Tomas, SKEWER/1 said to us that he had gone over the head of his son. SKEWER/1 was not aware that ANCO Puerto Rico is a subsidiary of AMCO Panama. en apprised of this fact, he said that this arrangement is probably for tax purposes. SKEWER/1 left the impression that he considers MMCO as a Puerto Rican company and one worthy of support. He recalled that he had previously given a job to a Trujillo opponent, Fred Imbert, whom no one else would hire, Mr, Imbert now has his om shipping company and SKEWER/1 suggested that we assess his operation. He recalled that Mr. Trujillo had telephoned him about harboring a criminal. SKEWER/I told Trujillo to mind his own business as would SKEWER/L. Mr. Stanulis indicated that KURARK would not want to consider Fred Imbert's opera- tion, given his family's involvement in the Dominican Republic. Throughout the conversation, the picture emerged of a man who trusts his subordinates and who would help an individual or fim, particularly fuerto Rican, which is also trying to help his firm.

SLCT -4- : i 8. Mr. Allen said that we would assess the situation carefully, and in the event it should be determined to proceed, we would advise him. dr. Allen informed him that two New York firms have invested In ANCO, namely, W. S. Kies and Company, and Train, Cabot and Associates. Our friend is er. Train, who, as he surmised, is the top man in his firm. Mr. Allen revealed this information to SKEWER/1 in the event that it should be deemed desirable for Mr. Train to negotiate with the Puerto Rican Cement Company. Con- versely, in the event of ACO's failure, it was felt that SREWER/1 should know that and is it Gamected with any other participants. SKEWER/1 offered full cooperation. ile had arranged his schedule to give us as much time as necessary. In our presence he received a telephone call in which he apologized for cancelling an appointment in order to accommodate us. It is considered that, as in his past relations with KUBARK, SKEWER/1 can be trusted and will help KUBARK in any way he can. Distribution: Orig.

I made initial telephonic contact with SKEWER/1 at approximately 1100 hours on 10 January 1965 and made arrangements for a meeting in my hotel room for the following day between the hours of 1600 and 1700 to be followed by another on Tuesday at a time and place that would be convenient for SKEWER/1. Later in the day SKEWER/1 informed me that he would be mmable to meet with us on Tuesday as he was leaving by air on the evening of 11 January for a series of appointments in the States. 2. The meeting with SKEWER/1 was held in my hotel room at 1645 hours on 11 January. I told SKEWER/1 that as he knew, one of KUBARK'S prime information targets in Latin America concerned the activities of Castro's Cuba and that in this connection some of our people had been thinking for some time that it would be most useful in pursuing this require- ment to have entree into shipping interests that were active in Caribbean waters, SKEWER/I said he thought this idea excellent. i further stated that those people had heard that SKEWER/l's firm was discussing the possi- bility of entering into an exclusive Caribbean distributorship contract with Alvin T. Philpotts, Jr., who is associated with the Antilles Materials Company, Ltd. S. A. of Panama and Puerto Rico, and asked him if he had any knowledge of the individual or the negotiations. SKEWER/I replied that he did not know of either, but that his son would be familiar with both. 3. I asked SKEWER/1 if he would be willing to investigate the situ- ation discreetly without mentioning any interest on KUBARK's part and a the same time consider the commercial feasibility of the venture for AMCO. He agreed.. 4. In elaborating on the basic concept, I told SKEWER/1 that if the proper maritime firm were located (that is, one that may be floundering now but has commercial viability potential), we would be interested in placing with the company an individual who possesses the necessary com- mercial background qualifications and also has the capability of accompli- shing certain KUBARK requirements, SKEWER/1 reiterated his conviction that the concept is an excellent one and said he would do all in his power to SECRET 14-00000

SECRET help KUBARK achieve this objective. 5. I told him that I would appreciate his cooperation in meeting with two of my friends who are more fully versed in these matters. He agreed and set the meeting for Monday, 19 January 1965. SKEWER/1 gave me his unlisted private telephone numier and suggested that I con- tact him Monday morning, 19 January 1965, to set time and place for the meeting. The number is 842-2120.

Mr. Ed Stanulis telephoned Mr. Allen at home from San Juan, Puerto Rico, on 11 January 1965. He met with SKEWER/1 as scheduled at 3 P.M. SKEWER/1 was not familiar with any negotiations between the Puerto Rican Cement Company and ANCO but agreed to look quietly into the matter. call to PR Cement's Sales Manager before he left He made a telephone. for New York. SKEWER/1 said that he had such a heavy schedule on this trip, requiring his presence in New York, Chicago, and Connecticut, that he could not squeeze in a meeting with KUBARK representatives. He would, however, be glad to meet with KUBARK represent- atives in Puerto Rico on 18 January 1965. This delay would also enable him to investigate thoroughly the status of negotiations with AMCO. 2. Mr. Stanulis said that he had followed the previously agreed approach to SKEWER/1. He emphasized that KUBARK is interested in AMCO only to the extent that a feasible commercial arrangement can be worked out, so that placement of an officer in AMCO to work against Cuba would make sense. is not doing too well financially and that the question He indicated that AMCO is whether it can be resurrected on a sound commercial basis. Mr. Stanulis informed SKEWER/1 that KUBARK is not interested in taking an equity position in AMCO. 3. Mr. Stanulis affirmed unequivocally to Mr. Allen his previous assessment of SKEWER/1, namely that SKEWER/1 will do anything to help KUBARK, particularly against Cuba, Mr. Stanulis will write a report upon arrival in Washington on or about 13 January 1965. : Distribution Orig.
