from a Spaniard (Nicanor FERNANDEZ) in Buenos Aires, urging MIROto go to Buenos Aires to arouse anti-Castro sentiment of the people,Inasmuch as some Argentine action against Cuba appeared imminent.(FERNANDEZ said he had already written MIRC a letter.) MINO says,"Of course, I cannot go. I have the Consejo meeting on the 10th,Furthermore, I am going to New York on October 11th or 12th for theSIP (Socloded Interamericana de Prensa) meeting and have boen allotted12 intoutes to address the meeting."10. MIRO to attend Homage to LACERDA (Brazilian who    Precipitated QUADROS' resignation) on October 15Dr. MIRO sald he planned to remain in New York City (after11 and 12 October SIP meoting) until October 15th to attend the homagofor LACERDA, the Governor of Guanabera province in Brasil. MIROprobably will stay at the Park Chambers Hotel, but will advise Clarkof his location.I cominented that I would probably remain in Washington nextweek in view of his plans, but that I might go to New York City to meetwith him; if so, I would get in touch with him and arrange a meetingtime and place through Clark.11. Propaganda CominissionI asked Dr. MIRO about his ideas on the future organizationand structure of the Propaganda Comnilesion. He stated that it is out-aide the Consejo and not under his direct control, although the Councilaccountant has been passing funds to it. He said CARRILLO had resignedas head of Propaganda and that he would like CONTE AGUERO to handieit. He claimed that MESTRE had not done anything with propaganda.12. MIRO's Views Relative to Supreme Court Justice or PRIO    being Recognised as Head of a Provisional GovernmentI asked Dr. MIRO if he believed that there were many anti-Castro Cubans (both in and out of Cuba) who lavored PRIC, or the headof the Supreme Court to be the provisional president if a government wereto be established on Cuban soil. Dr. MIRC declared that the revolutionis a fact, and that practically nobody wants to go back to any formerregime. The people in Cuba would resist any such possibility. He do.6

nounced FRIC's activities against the Council and its efforts to unifythe anti-Castro elements. Fie said that the people should be given anopportunity to elect thoir chief of state after Castro's overthrow andreestablishment of order in the island.## 13. Offices of Council (Consejo Revolucionario)When questioned about his business and private telephones.. MIRO said, "The business phone is also in my house. I have no office except in my house, but that phone is always busy (Jefferson 2-4680). So use the other phone (JE(forson 4-2751) when you wish to call me. ""I need to have a small office somewhere away from my home because all the activities there are driving my wife crazy. I want to find something modest so that no accusation can be inade of ostentation - merely a room for myself, one for my secretary, and one for meetings of the Council, atc. The FRD had a place but at that place also was the press, the refugee center, etc. it would not be satisfactory. The FRD is now practically dead. It was the forerunner of the Consojo as the unifying agency of the anti-Castro resistance,"## 14. MIRO's. Views on Coordinating the Activities of Other Exilo. GroupsAfter Dr. MIRC reiterated his view that he should be the channel for funds and coordinating the activities of groups outside the Consejo such as the Studente, FORD (Labor), etc., I said that I under- stood that some of those elements were unwilling to function under the Consejo; and that in view of that situation, did he consider that an. Activity Committee might be organized with a delegato from each of these groupe and under the chairmanship of a member of the Consejo. This would serve to coordinate their activities, give them a tie-in with the Consejo, yet not make them subservient to it. Dr. MIRC replied that this would merely set up another Consejo outside of and parallel to the existing Consejo. I did not pursue this further, not having enough background of these organizations to be able to discuss the matter effectively.## 15. Telephone Conversation with MIRO on 7 OctoberBefore my departure from Miami for Washington on 7 October, I telephaned to Dr. MIRO (rom the airport. He appreciated the call and asked if I had seen in the morning paper the action taken yesterday by7

SECRETthe ALABAU Lawyers' group in proclaiming Julio CARCERAN (one of the chief justices in exile) as "President of Cuba at War." He expressed his indignation at this unilateral "political" move by ALADAU and his adherents among the exiled lawyers and judges. He added his best wishes to me and reminded me that he would probably go to New York on October 11th or 12th for the SIP (Sociedad Interamericana de Pronsa) meeting. I replied that I would appreciate if he would contact Clark after his arrival to give his location in New York City, and that Clark might have a request from me for an appointment with him, if this seemed desirable. I suggested that in future phone conversations I would be known as JUANITO. He agreed with pleasure that this would be a good procedure. I wished him Godspeed and he replied likewise to me.16. CommentDuring those first two meetings I endeavored to establish myself favorably with Dr. MIKO and therefore refrained from bringing up details of budget or opposition to any of his specific proposals. I listened, asked various questions, and he talked at length.In future meetings, after I have gained further background and have more policy guidance, I shall be able to discuss with him specific issues and endeavor to reach agreements or compromises, as may be required.

Wendell Johnson was hired and will be placed in contact with Dr. Miro prior to 1 October. He will function as the day-to-day contact between Dr. Miro and this Agency and the United States Government. It was made clear to Dr. Miro that his demand for responsibility as exclusive channel to the other professional groups, i.e., students and labor, was rejected.
