Merminio DIAZ (201-203040)

Subject's full name is Sandalio Herminio DIAZ Garcia. On 22 January it was reported that DIAZ left the WAVE area on 18 January 1964 enroute to PDRUMEN, see WAVE-0954, 22 January 1964. During the course of intensive briefings, DIAZ' principal interest appeared to be in obtaining support for a plan to physically eliminate AMTNUG-1. DIAZ' intentions in this respect became well known in the WAVE area. Thus, no attempt was made to recruit him for MEAPRON purposes, in order to avoid showing any ODYONE participation in his plans. On this date, 28 January 1964, AMOT-133 was informed by Raul ROS Gonzalez, a friend of DIAZ, that DIAZ returned to the WAVE area from Texas. DIAZ did not leave Texas for Mexico then PDRUMEN as planned, according to ROS. The AMOT group will follow-up on this matter.
