Dupont Caribbean has a license to carry freight to and from Tortuga. [REDACTED] said CELCER resides on Tortuga and he knows of no way to get in touch with him other than to wait for him to contact [REDACTED]. He stated that CELCER usually calls him on the phone when he comes into the Miami area but this is on a very irregular basis and he has not heard from CELCER lately.

---

[REDACTED] stated that if other efforts of the FBI to eliminate CELCER as a subject of this case are unsuccessful, he will attempt to arrange an interview between CELCER and the FBI, Miami, if and when he comes to that area.

---

Philadelphia requested to advise Miami promptly re results of investigation to determine exact dates in November, 1971, when CELCER was present in Philadelphia.
