ISPATCH CLASSIFICATION SECRET PROCESSING ACTION MARKED FOR INDEXING TO Chief, Western Hemisphere Division XX NO INDEXING REQUIRED INFO. FROM Chief of Station, JMWAVE ONLY QUALIFIED DESK CAN JUDGE INDEXING SUBJECT: TYPIC/AMBUD/Operational Request from Widow of Angel PASTRANA Santos (Case #118) for Assistance ACTION REQUIRED: REFERENCES in Leaving Cuba. ACTION REQUIRED: See para 3 References: A. UFGW-6607, 13 July 1967 B. UFGA-27805, 14 June 1967 1. As suggested in Reference B, AMTIKI-1 advised the widow that the only legal means for purchasing passage from Cuba to Spain with US dollars was by purchasing the passage at Iberia Airlines Madrid office. In a letter dated 11 September 1967, the widow acknowledged receipt of the letter from AMTIKI-1 and stated that she had contacted the Iberia office in Havana and had been told that this procedure is no longer allowed. The widow then went to the National Bank of Cuba where she was advised that the only way she could purchase passage would be to receive funds in Canadian currency through the Cuban bank. The bank suggested that the fastest way to effect the transaction would be to have the money sent by telegraphic transfer through a Canadian bank to the National Bank of Cuba. 2. A check with the Iberia Airlines representative in the JMWAVE area confirmed that the procedure suggested by Headquarters is not permissible. The representative stated that the procedure suggested by the National Bank of Cuba was correct, adding that a Spanish bank and Spanish currency could be utilized instead of Canadian if so desired. 3. Headquarters guidance regarding the adviseability of effecting such a transfer of funds to Cuba through Canada or Spain is requested. Attached are copies of recent correspondence concerning this case. ## Attachment: Correspondence mentioned in para 3, h/w Raymond K. PANUSES Distribution: 3 - WH/COG, w/att.
