The following comments of the Cuban Minister to Spain, Guillermo RUIZ Perez, reflect Cuban thoughts on the Czechoslovakian situation:The Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia has been a disaster; however, criticizing the Soviet action would mean taking sides with the Americans. A friend may be criticized in private but publicly be should be defended. (QUDOZE, 19 November.) The Cubans have to side with the Soviets for military and economic reasons and because, whether right or wrong, they belong to the same ideological group. Cuba had and still has enormous discrepancies with the Soviet Union, China, and the United States but weighing the differences Cuba is with Communism and opposed to Capitalism.

H. .1## 4 December 1969Ruiz is talking with Garciolo and Granaco about the new building opportunity. They are negotiating for an O.R. spot downtown. Ruiz is concerned about the maintenance of the building, as it has six floors and a basement. Havana will have to send an electrician, who is also a plumber, and then understands some-thing of carpentry. They will need three or four other men to act as doormen, watchmen, etc. The wives of those men will be the charwomen of the building. Garciolo says once that Havana approves the building they will have to sit down and talk over their difficulties (Havana Spanish personnel). Ruiz doesn't want Spanish personnel under any circumstances. He speaks of having two dining rooms, one for the General Office and the other for the Ministry; here meals prepared outside will be served. The dining room will be completely isolated so that no visitor or invited guest will be able to place anything in the ceiling nor in the walls without being seen. They are going to install a closed circuit television so that all entries and exits will be controlled. Ruiz says that a Japanese type television of the kind they are discussing only costs not thing over $300, and he adds that most likely there is one in the American embassy.Report No. 242 7 January 1970

The letter was addressed to a comrade "OCUZA or LANUZA (fon)" in Havana in response to a confidential note received by RUIZ from Havana."In relation to your confidential note number 7240 about the Spanish prisoners, Joaquin AUVI Casals, Lazaro GARRIDO Sanchez and Antonio MARQUEZ Pedraza, whose release was requested in a note from the Spanish Embassy in Havana, I would like to tell you the following: Firstly, Senor Joaquin AUVI Casals was of interest to D. Pedro SALVADOR de Vicente; but because of the bad record and activities of this man, it was understood that his departure would be denied. I talked to Pedro SALVADOR about this matter and upon mentioning this man's background he told me that his interest was due to a phone call he had received from a friend of his in Miami. He considers that, given the background in this case, his friend was supposedly an instrument of "other interests".
