Mr. Hubert. Will you tell us what is actually correct?
Mrs. Rich. At the first meeting there were four people present. There was a colonel, or a light colonel, I forgot which. I also forget whether he was Air Force or Army. It seems to me he was Army. And it seems to me he was regular Army. There was my husband, Mr. Perrin, myself, and a fellow named Dave, and I don’t remember his last name. Dave C.—I think it was Cole, but I wouldn’t be sure.
Dave came to my husband with a proposition——
Mr. Hubert. There were only four people present?
Mrs. Rich. Let me clarify the statement about Dave. He was a bartender for the University Club on Commerce Street in Dallas. I became associated with him and subsequently so did my husband. Well, at first it looked all right to me. They wanted someone to pilot a boat—someone that knew Cuba, and my husband claimed he did. Whether he did, I don’t know. I know he did know boats. So they were going to bring Cuban refugees out into Miami. All this was fine, because by that time everyone knew Castro for what he appears to be, shall we say. So I said sure, why not—$10,000. I said that is fine.
Mr. Hubert. Do I understand from that that you and your husband were to receive $10,000 for your services?
Mrs. Rich. Well, I was incidental.
Mr. Hubert. No; I would like to know.
Mrs. Rich. I say I was incidental. My husband was.
Mr. Hubert. Your husband was to receive $10,000?
