Documents / FOIA release
This Central Intelligence Agency file, released in 2025, collects 1968 cable traffic and dispatches between CIA headquarters' Western Hemisphere Division and the JMWAVE station about AMBUD dependency payments to families of Bay of Pigs brigade members. It covers closing trust accounts held by the agent AMTIKI-1, settling the account of a dead brigade member's mother, and handing case administration to MHMUTUAL. It also contains 1960 financial reports of the Democratic Revolutionary Front. The file has no UFO content.
## GENERAL In compliance with what has been established, of submitting to you a report at the close of each month, I am attaching herewith a STATEMENT OF RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES corresponding to the month of July 1960. In spite of the fact that all expenditures were made by check in the name of the respective persons, there was an oversight in not requiring detailed receipts or voucher of payment for funds drawn from the persons concerned. On the trip to New York, suggested by you, a series of control measures were imposed upon me which I am also sending separately in order for you to deliberate the same. In addition to those written measures there are other verbal suggestions which are of importance. Once you have read the control measures you will understand that the management of the funds of the DEMOCRATIC REVOLUTIONARY FRONT is lacking from what is required, for which reason a true relationship between the Executive (Committee) and the Comptroller would be convenient in order to provide you with better efficiency. I understand that it is troublesome, in accordance with the rank of the members of the Executive Committee, to render accounts of the cash received, but in accepting the conditions suggested by the Department of Finances, I find myself forced to inform you that it is the obligation of all those receiving funds to render accounts unless exceptions are made or established for the Executive Committee. I understand that the reason why the measures required by the Department of Finance in the management of the funds of the FFONT were not established has been due to the fact that the suggested controls were not known at the close of the month of July.
