## Dear Harry: I believe to have located the person that meets with the details you sent me. His name is Jose Medina who arrived in Madrid on July 3 with a standard named Jose Gallego. Medina works with a firm here in San Juan, Fernandez & Medina and he seems to be related to a partner of the firm, wholesalers that represent Armour Heat Products. Their address here is D.O. Box 3927 San Juan, and their telephone is 724-5532 No more information yet but we have several feelers out and may have more on him by next week without setting our mutual friend know of course, by the way, I am having a tall one with him this afternoon to see if there is anything new and to maintain the pressure. He told me he has a very important meeting today and perhaps he will let me know about what we meet this afternoon, if it is really important I will call you if not I'll write you next week. In the course of the investigation on Medina there is another by this name that was in some way related to Cubela but this is 45 yrs old. ver 201-239278
