Chances were dim that the Cuban Families Committee could raise the goods Castro wanted, and key members of Congress had ruled out sug gestions that govern m e n t funds be used. During this meeting, Dono van, suggestea caning iooo and drug companies to make tax deductible contributions in the form of merchandise. 'At first, nobody thought it would work," said Deputy Attv. Gen. Nicholas Katzen- bach. "But then someone re membered that companies were allowed to deduct five per cent of their taxable in come for charitable contribu tions. It was near the end of the year and there was a pos sibility some of them had not used up all of their five per cent allowance.

The firms were allowed to contribute rupplies at whole sale cost, ' under previous court rulings, and deduct the market value, resulting In lit tle or no cost to the compa nies. V But some wanted assurance that donations would be in the public interest. Atty. Gen. Kennedy met with pharmaceutical m a n u facturers and others to assure them that the president felt it would not be inconsistent with American policy for them to contribute such things as drugs and baby food. The companies agreed to no operate, and private attorneys who .volunteered their serv ices set up their headquarters in the Justice Department alongside government attor neys. They called themselves "Operation Habeas Corpus," and they worked day and night to assemble the supplies for delivery to Cuba by Christ mas. Hacking red tape , aside, necessary rulings came down in hours instead of months. Assistant Atty. Gen. Louis Oberdorfer, head of the tax division, and his assistants made individual rulings (or firms to assure them there I would be no problems on their ; tax reports. Trade associations j got written assurances that i the exchange of information I necessary between the com 1 panics was not in violation of antitrust Jaws. Donovan and Katzenbach got the help of the Red Cross, the only non - government agency with the resources to assemble the supplies and supervise their shipment. Railroads, airlines, and Long shoremen's Union of ficials were called in to help move the supplies, and got quick action from regulatory agencies who had to approve their services as tax deduc tible. An insurance company backed two U.S. banks who backed a Canadian bank in issuing a $5;) million letter of credit assuring Castro that if the Red Cross failed to deliver ! the goods, he would get cash. Katzenbach said the project I was "too big for any private organization" and had to have government help. However, he added, the prisoners would not be back I this Christmas were it not for the work of many volunteers and the American Red Cross.
