The CIA telegram discusses a deal made by the KMFLUSH Ambassador to purchase three F-47 planes from ODACID. The planes would be delivered by June 22-23 after being processed and having maintenance completed. KMFLUSH wanted the planes in perfect condition, but ODACID suggested accepting them after being rehabilitated if issues arose within 90 days. The planes would be delivered in Miami and flown to their destination by KMFLUSH pilots contracted from America. The telegram notes that June 23 is later than desired but is the earliest delivery possible given the time needed to prepare the planes.

1. KMFLUSH Ambassador has closed deal with ODACID for
three F-47. Down payment will be made and title
transferred 14 or 15 June.
2. Planes will be "processed" prior delivery which we take to
mean bringing maintenance completely up to date. On this
basis delivery possible by 22 or 23 June. If completely
rehabilitated with engines rebuilt would require
considerably longer.
3. KMFLUSH Ambassador here insisting on having planes in
"perfect condition". ODACID urging him accept
"processed" planes with understanding they will be
rehabilitated if any difficulties develop within 90 days.
4. Arrangement presently being worked out between
KMFLUSH Ambassador and ODACID calls for delivery by
ODUNIT in Miami and KMFLUSH to fly from there with
"American pilots under contract." We are not attempting
alter this arrangement. Planes originate Puerto Rico and
could probably be turned over there if preferable.
5. Realize delivery 23 June later than you desire but believe
the machinery cannot be made to turn over any faster.
