>> let me first address arturo cobow. arturo cobow was a double agent and is still an agent. arturo works with the c.i.a. and the f.b.i. and he is -- many of these people are managed by someone. sergio pen onwho at that time was with the elight intelligence group, the miami police intelligence group managed cobow. when he was arrested for the drug charges, if you follow that story, i think there were like 9,000 kilos of something, he was there. but they knew how much more there were because he knew. so and he has done a great deal for our country. the second question was -- >> how did the reagan administration obviously respond to this threat? i think traditionally it's been thought of that carter was weak and that castro took advantage of his weakness, but then subsequently what was done to track down these spies or did you find any -- >> i can tell you something very interesting about jimmy carter. jimmy carter is a very, very christian man. he's a very good man. but he reached the end of the line about the middle of september when he -- he was a very good friend of castro.

so we met this gentleman and then arturo cobow. eventually we also found was a double agent. he was a c.i.a. agent working with the miami police department elite intelligence unit. so this is my first experience and it's in the chamber and all these volunteers and my partner and i and we helped to sort things out and we saw there weren't very many refugees at the time but we heard things were building up. so we went home. the following tuesday i got a call from the head of the department of health and rehabilitative services dr. jim howl asking if my partner and i could come back down there because this looked line it was going to be an really big thing and the federal government was not going to get involved and the state wasn't sanctioned so that the state was told that their expenses may not be paid and could my partner and i go down there and coordinate all of the medical services until the federal government could come in and take over. and that's kind of how we got down there. as the days went by, it was actually we were there for 20 days, which is what the book is abou
