I think it is a shame for us to be so notoriously known," said Kisan Mehta, head of the Life Foundation, a private group that advocates kidney transplants from cadavers.
Cepeda said Leonel Panting, head of the regional government, assured Kisan it would receive part of a boatload of donations from Managua that arrived in Puerto Cabezas Oct. 12.
Mr. Fagoth says that Jorge then gave him the equivalent of $20,000 for his campaign to gain leadership of Kisan, the new Indian organization that the CIA was preparing to set up at an assembly in Rus Rus, Honduras, in September 1985.
