\nSUBJECT: Departure from Guyana of Miguel de Pina, People\u2019s Temple member<\/p>\n
1. Miguel de Pina departed Timehri Airport at 1 PM local time aboard Pan Am flight 228. Mr. de Pina was among the group of People\u2019s Temple members who were at the Lamaha Gardens headquarters at the time of the mass suicide\/murder at Jonestown. Mr. de Pina is being allowed to leave Guyana by local authorities because he is in failing health and because they are apparently satisfied that he had nothing to offer that would assist in their investigation into the deaths of Sharon Amos and her children at the Lamaha Gardens house.<\/p>\n
2. No other People\u2019s Temple members in Guayana [Guyana] on Saturday 18 November 1978 have been clear to leave Guyana by local authorities.<\/p>\n
3. Mr. de Pina\u2019s ETA in New York roughly 6 PM EST.<\/p>\n
4. For INS New York: Please advise airport operations that Miguel de Pina will be arriving without a passport today, 26 November 1978 aboard Pan Am flight 228 from Georgetown, Guyana. He is the bearer of a valid US passport, no. G1850216 issue San Francisco, CA on 7\/13\/76, expires 7\/12\/81. The passport shows that Miguel de Pina was born September 29, 1894 at Cape Verde [handwritten insertion \u201cPortugal\u201d]. Physical description given as 5\u20198\u201d, gray hair, brown eyes. Mr. de Pina does not have his passport in his possession because it was included in a group of some 800 passports seized by the Guyanese authorities at Jonestown for use in their investigation of the mass suicide\/murder.<\/p>\n
