MEMORANDUM TO: Director, Foreign Broadcast Information Service
THROUGH: Chief, Operations Group
SUBJECT: Monthly Report -- Key West Bureau -- July 1987
The bureau's worker ants poked up over 202,000 words of
publishable copy this month, the highest figure in at least 4 years
if not ever, according to office statistics going back to 1983.
A. Monitorial/Editorial
1. Quite a bit of this high word count came from our new
operation in Haiti. Our contractor, has gotten off STAT
to a fast start, winning the respect of the Embassy, including the
Ambassador who said we have a "big and noisy fan club" in
Port-au-Prince. Headquarters also provided us feedback from
satisfied consumers who are "highly pleased" with the increased
coverage.
2. The Cubans had fun with a TV series of exposes on CIA,
which they stretched out over the entire month. The programs showed
diplomats from the U.S. Interests Section in Havana allegedly caught
in espionage activities by candid cameras. These programs were
supplemented by interviews with a slew of "double agents" who claimed
to have gone undetected in some cases for more than 20 years. The
series kept us burning the midnight oil more than a couple of nights
getting out full and timely translations. We also helped keep
Eastern Airlines afloat in south Florida by using its Sprint service
to get the videotapes into the hands of the MOD squad the next day.
3. As part of our backstop responsibilities, the bureau
tested the phone patch links this month between Key West and Panama
Bureau's contractors in El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and
Honduras. Despite some initial problems with unwanted background
noise, we ended up being able to hear all the programs well enough to
step in and help should we be needed. The exercise also prompted us
to make some technical changes which will make phonepatching easier
in the future.

B. Communications
Engineer has completed his analysis of our
new circuit and will be providing his report shortly.
C. Cruising
Cuba's Radio Taino (service in English and Spanish to
visiting foreigners) grabbed headlines this month when it interfered
at least two nights in a row with U.S. stations broadcasting on 1040
kHz. According to reports, the evening programming traveled the
skywave for hundreds of miles into the U.S. and brought a quick
protest from the State Department.

1. Best news we have had in some time came this en we
were told that one of our monitor/editor candidates, STAT
would EOD on 31 August. We are now looking forward to STAT
hearing somethiniz about our other time monitorial
candidates, , as well as part-timer STAT
n our two teletype STAT
selectees-- -both of whom are STAT
scheduled to come aboard as external contractors initially to speed
up the processing.
2. Headquarters has agreed to let us continue the Panamanian
TDY program until our candidates are aboard and producing. This
month we welcomed Panama's chief teletypist who has STAT
continued the Chiva Chiva overseas program of excellence.
3. In the money area, B&F increased our imprest fund from
$10,000 to $15,000 to cut back on how often we have to send our
accounting to Headquarters for processing.
Navy Captain Tom Fehrle, Commander Dwayne Clemmer, Lt Commander
Rob Lane, and Army Major Al McKee, all from the U.S. Forces
Caribbean, visited the bureau for a general orientation 28 July.
It was a month of pomp and circumstance as the Naval Air Station
as well as the U.S. Forces Caribbean changed commanding officers.
NAS Captain Ray Sullivan passed the baton to Captain William Denning
on 30 July. Earlier, Rear Admiral Ted Steele folded his flag as
