the paint of entry into the U.S. would be 35 deg :~Cr'IV f 7~ deg 4~'W, near

located {at some actionable time future to the session) at 1?~ deg 7'N / 7~
deg i,5'W, heading westward towards the Boncador Bank. ilff-loading will take
place at those coordinates, as well, onto a vessel {NFI) which wi11 head
towards the Gulf of Mexico with the contraband, which D7~i identified as
cocaine. ?
6. {StSTD} P~tLiJECT OFFICE~:'S COMMENTS: The suggested scenario is that the

slightly northward and possibly dallied there before continuing westward
with drugs {although no pick-up/on-loading was detected). There it will
transfer the drugs to another vessel for shipment to the Gulf of Mexico, and
possibly the eastern U. S. {Cape Hatteras, NC and/or Long Island, NY1.
