Summary: The document details interactions between Cuban exile Laureano Batista and Rudolph Richard Davis, involving military training camps, U.S. intelligence agencies, and anti-Castro activities. Batista provided 19 men from Miami to Louisiana in 1961 for a lumber business in Guatemala, funded by a company that later repaid their expenses. Davis coordinated with the New York Police Department and the ICD (likely an agency or group) in 1961. The FBI was involved in monitoring these activities, with some men staying at a home near Lacomba, Louisiana. References include a Provisional Operational Approval (POA) granted to Batista in December 1959 and February 1960 for use as a PP agent in Havana, Cuba. The KDC (Committee for the Defense of Cuba) is mentioned alongside anti-Castro organizations and Hungarian Freedom Fighters, with U.S. agencies reportedly involved in facilitating contacts between these groups.
