Circa 1962: Reporting from Newsday article by Drew Fetherston and John Cummings in 1977: "A Canadian agricultural technician working in Cuba says he was paid $5000 by an American intelligence agent in 1962 to infect Cuban turkeys with a fatal disease. The Canadian said in an interview that more than 8000 turkeys on a Cuban state farm died, but not because he infected them with the Newcastle disease virus he claims he received in Canada from a military intelligence operative...The farm, known as PR-1, was in the Pinar del Rio province of western Cuba...The technician, who asked that his name be withheld, said he was approached in Miami by a man he knew as 'Ron', and who identified himself with credentials as being with 'American intelligence'.

He declined to comment further."
