message and experienced only a little difficulty at first in remember-ing all the steps in sequence necessary for the preparation of an S/W message. He was generally attentive to the instruction given. However, in keeping with his temperment, he was a little impatient during the preparation of the S/W message itself upon the cover letter. At the end of this session, he demonstrated that he remembered the basic steps in a satisfactory manner, particularly considering that it was his first day in S/W instruction.4. The second period of instruction took place in the same safehouse, lasting about two hours. This session was devoted to a review of the S/N procedures and the preparation by A/l of another practice S/W letter. Following this, A/1 was instructed in the development of S/W messages, using the liquid developer No. 56638 The scorch system of development was also demonstrated. A/1 was impressed by the simplicity of the liquid developer and the immediate reaction which it produced. The undersigned developed one message; then 4/1 was allowed to prepare the developer from its dry pill form and to develop a second practice S/W message for himself. Following the period devoted to S/W development, a general review of S/W communications was held, the basic points apparently being well-fixed in A/l's mind.5. During the final formal meeting with A/1 on 22 August with Growery and the undersigned participating, the latter gave A/1 a general review of all the 3/6 procedures which were to be used in his contact with KUBARK. He also was provided with the following items:A. Two sheets of S/W carbon paper (No. 15136)B. Forty-seven pills of developer ( No. 56638)C. One tablet of writing paper provided by TSD and known to be compatible with the carbon sheets.D. 3 No. 2 pencils of French manufacture.E. One ball-point pen with water-resistant ink.F. Two accomodation addresses: one in Madrid for regular contact; one in New York City for rapid emergency contact (see attached S/W data sheet).G. Appropriate indicators (see S/W data sheet)It is noted that A/1 did not have a secure accomodation address in PBRUMEN to give us at this time. He was told, however, that it was imperative that he provide one for us by S/W letter within two weeks of his return to PERUMEN. This he stated he would do.6. During the last S/W review, A/1 was shown a photograph of one of his practice messages which he had prepared. He was quite interested in seeing this, which served to illustrate a number of the training points which had been covered during previous instruction.

Generally, A/1 was an interested pupil and it is believed that he will be able to carry out the instructions in a proper manner. He is quite security conscious, a factor which it is believed, will add to his attempts to seek perfection in his S/W correspondence and in the secure storage of his S/W materials when not in use. It is also known that A/1 practiced his S/W techniques in his hotel room after leaving the 22 August meeting. This is known because he had an additional question to ask us at a brief meeting on 23 August.7. It should also be noted that the TSD technician who developed A/l's practice letters recommends that for best results, all letters from A/1 be subjected to ammonia fuming before immersion in the developer.Richard M.

KENNEDY ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 1992UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICEFEDERAL BOREAL OF INVESTIGATIONRE: CUBAN REVOLUTIONARY COUNCILINTERNAL SECURITY - CUBADBA31003Miami, FloridaApril 16, 1963The April 9, 1963, issue of the "Miami News" carried an article entitled, "Exiles Say Miro To Quit". This article stated that informed exile sources claim that Dr. JOSE MIRO CARDONA would resign his post as head of the Cuban Revolutionary Council. The article said exile sources gave two possibilities for his resignation. One faction believed that MIRO's recent trip to Washington from which he returned Sunday (April ?) was to pin down the United States Government to a statement of positive policy regarding Cuba. Another school of thought was that the Council head was retiring from his post in protest of Government curbing of hit-and-run raids on the Communist island of Cuba.The article went on to state that Dr. MIRO's leadership in the Council, aimed at uniting all Cuban exiles, has been burdened by problems since his appointment in March 1961.On April 10, 1963, MM T-1, a former Cuban business executive, who is employed by the Cuban Revolutionary Council and who is a close personal friend of Dr. MIRO CARDONA, who has furnished some reliable information in the past, advised that an all-night session of the Council was held beginning April 9, and ending at about 6:00 A.M., on April 10, during which time MIRO CARDONA presented his resignation but the Council refused to accept his resignation and MIRO CARDONA was persuaded to remain as President of the Council.MM T-1 said that MIRO's resignation consisted of a 25-page statement which was in effect an indictment against the administration of President JOHN F. KENNEDY of the United States. In rejecting his resignation, the Council backed upCS COPY

CUBAN REVOLUTIONARY COUNCILINTERNAL SECURITY - CUBAMIRO but in the interest of both the United States and the Cuban exiles, decided upon a public statement which reads as follows:"CUBAN REVOLUTIONARY COUNCIL"The Cuban Revolutionary Council, having studied the report of its President, Dr. Jose Miro Cardona, concerning present relations with the United States Government, agrees:"1. Not to accept the resignation of Dr. Jose Miro Cardona, and declare its full support for the basic plans contained in his resignation."2. To affirm that there is a serious crisis, brought about by the present policy of the government of this country."3. To express the Council's hope of overcoming the present crisis and calling upon all of America, including the United States, for moral and material support in their fight to regain their sovereignty and independence, and the strict fulfilment of American treaties and agreements, as well as the joint resolution of the U. S. Congress, calling for effective action against Soviet intervention in America."4. To affirm that the Council has always insisted, and still insists, upon the necessity of Cuban participation in the process of liberating Cuba. The only procedure which the Council would accept would be coordination of forces, on a plane of complete respect for national dignity. Cuba will never renounce her legitimate right to be in the first line of combat."5. To reaffirm their unshakeable decision to continue the fight against the Soviet-Castro regime, under any circumstances whatsoever.2.

C., on Sunday, where he contacted high government officials, he came away with the feeling that:1) The United States has no plan to free Cuba of Communism.2) If the United States ever does formulate any plans, it will do so without consideration for the Cuban exiles in the United States.3) The United States policy is now one of peaceful co-existence with Communist Cuba.MM T-1 said that in his opinion, the Cuban exiles are frustrated, confused, losing faith in the United States and there is a growing feeling of abandonment of them by the United States.The April 10, 1963, issue of the "Miami Herald" carried a headline article entitled, "Miro Resigns as Exile Chief; Raps U. S. Policy". This article stated that MIRO CARDONA resigned because the United States refused to allocate fifty million dollars to train a Cuban invasion force, according4.

The article said that exile leadersclose to MIRO said he resigned not only because of disagree-ment with United States policy, "but because he feelsWaenington does not have any concrete plans to deal withthe dictator".The April 11, 1963, issue of the "Miami Herald"carried an article entitled, "Cuban Exile Council Vows toContinue the Freedom Fight". In this article it wasstated that the Cuban Revolutionary Council had vowed tocontinue its fight against Castro-Communism whether theUnited States likes it or not. The article said that Dr.MIRO CARLONA denied reports from U. S. Government sourcesthat he offered his resignation to the Council because theUnited States refused to allocate fifty million dollars totrain a Cuban invasion force. The article stated that aninformed source said that KIRO decided to quit "becauseof the change in the U. S. Cuban policy".The April 16, 1963, issue of the "Miami Herald"carried an article entitled "JFK Accepts Demand, Fidel Says".This article by the UPI bearing a Havana dateline reportedthat PILEL CASTRO told Cubans on Thursday (April 11) that theKENUZDY Administration has accepted one of his five demandsfor an end to tension in the Caribbean. This article statedthat in a one hour and forty minute speech, CASTRO said thatWashington in forbidding exiles to carry on further armedattacks on Cuba, has fulfilled one of "five points for peace"advancedby him and endorsed by the Soviet Union. The articlethen went on to state that FIDEL announced that there arestill four conditions to be fulfilled and that acceptance ofthem is the only sensible thing the KENNEDY Administrationcan do. One of the five conditions, according to the article,is U. S. evacuation of the big Naval base at Guantanamc.On the morning of April 15, 1963, Miami radio newsbroadcasts announced MIRO CARDONA would again offer hisresignation to the Council on that same day.5.

# CUBAN REVOLUTIONARY CO'MICILINTERNAL SECURITY - CUBAOn April 15, 1963, MM T-1 advised that he was positive that MIRO CARDONA did not intend to again tender his resignation on Monday, April 15, 1963, but was contemplating taking that action on the following Thursday, April 18, 1963. MM T-1 said that the Council was meeting on Thursday to take a definite attitude or tough line of action and that it was entirely probable that all of the members of the Council might resich in protest to the present policy of the United States with regard to the Cuban situation. He said that the prezent feeling of the Council towards the United States is basically "to hell with it".MM T-1 expressed the personal feeling that U. S. policy towards Cuba 13 presently in a vacuum and consequently everything is at a standstill. The Cuban exiles in the Miami area feel that the U. S. is abandoning their cause and has now adopted a course of peaceful co-existence with Communist Cuba.On April 15, 1963, MM T-2, a Cuban exile who has furnished some reliable information in the past and who is associated with fellow Cubans who belong to several different organizations, advised that reaction among the Cuban exiles 18 "very bad against the United States". He explained that the Cuban exiles allege that President KENNEDY has made promises to help them in their fight against CASTRO but is now opposing them and consequently they feel that the U. S. 18 now committed to a policy of peaceful co-existence with Communist Cuba. The Cuban exiles are fearful as to the future, confused as to why the U. S. has changed its policy and the exiles feel that they have been abandoned in their fight.PROPERTY OF FBI - This memorandum is loaned to you by the FBI and neither it nor its contents are to be distributed outside the agency to which loaned.6.*
