LaRoche Tasked with Briefing Grenadian Government on Security Matters

Details: A cable from AmEmbassy Bridgetown (BRIDGE 01387) regarding "POSSIBLE TRAVEL BY UNDERWORLD FIGURES TO GRENADA" states, in a comment about how to handle the information: "CONSUL LAROCHE NOW IN GRENADA TO INFORM VINCENT NOEL, ON SECURITY MATTERS TO BISHOP…".

Significance: (Inferred) Indicates LaRoche was again in Grenada in April 1979, specifically tasked with sensitive security-related briefings for the new Bishop government. This suggests an ongoing role in liaising on security and intelligence matters.
