BETANCOURT and BORRON are serving 30 and 20-year sentences on the Igie of Pinds.

Gonzalo MIRANDA, and J, M. MENDIOLA. (31) ‘Jose RODRIGUEZ (PEPE) continued to function with UR, later as Intelligence Coordinator, and was ultimately arrested in another roundup of UR leaders on the morning of 30 August 1962, According to several reports frem sources directly involved, the primary reason for so many G-2 arrests of UR personnel in April 1961 was its denunciation ty a G-2 collaborator or penetration &gent named Fedro Sergio CUELLAR Alor. (aka:- Sergio.Alonso).,. member of a KUBARK infil toam. CUELLAR was sent in to serve as the UR radop, The team landed in PBRUMEN 23 March 1381 with operation JEAN IIT; it was met and safehoueed by UR members; there follows a confusing history of CUELLAR's activity, unexplained abaencsa, etc., most of which im recorded in his 201 filo, CUELLAR never — contacted his tase etation at JMRIN after entering PBRUMEN: Crpt.  .

After the disruptive arrests of March and April 1961, UR activity as a resistance movement waa curtailed, but an effort was made to maintain organizational contacc and communication channels. Much of the interim leadership and direction came from former UR officiais in asylum via couriers and dead drops. (26; 184) Little could be accomplished for months after the invasion, ‘gince many UR members were among thousands arrested throughout the country. Assessment of UR losses of personnel and equipment continued, however, and new coordinators were eventually appointed . to positions left vacant by those arrested or in asylum, (103) _ \ The skeletal leedership mechanism remaining in PBRUMEN needed : . _, direction -from the asylees and it also looked to them fov : ebtaining external support after their exfil via safeconduct to PBPRIME, Thus direction of UR was shifting from the strong movement inside to the leaders in embassies and, finally, to - PBPRIME once its leaders left PBRUMEN. (63) Communications were . \ maintained continuously between these two (internal and external) | . UR elements. (26; 149; 170) Owing to his PBPRIME citizenship, first of the UR leadera to arrive in PBPRIME was Fernando CAVADA in mid-1961. He proceeded to ZRMETAL, contacted "Bill Billings" and later "Jim Bowdin." In ad September 1961 he was joined there by BRITO, SANCHEZ, ZAYAS, and ~ ethers for discussions and planning on the future of the UR and the support to be expected from KUBARK. “Cal Hitch" and"Jim , i. Bowdin" represented KUBARK at talks which took place at ZRMETAL , 4 from, 22-29 September 1961. ZAYAS and SANCHEZ stated the UR had - been reorganized in PBRUMEN and that after receiving certain training from KUBARK they intended te return, (204) KUBARK was .committed to support the UR “as needed" in PBRUMEN, but nothing. was to be done to support UR in exile. The UR leaders . were.advised te join AMBUD to receive support for the organization im PDOPRIME, but this was not made a provision to their receiving support for the PBRUHEN element. (31) They were further enjoined to desist from any show of antagonism toward AMBUD-1 (204) - ry ? “BRITO and others were sent to training the latter part of 4 1621. CAVADA was sent to the JMWAVE area in October to report to “Er. Pecers" as the contact between KUBARK and UR, and for “epscial assignments" in connection with unification of -counterrevolutionary . organizations in PBPRIME. (31) He was not utilized by "Mr, Peters" Boy for weeks after his arrival in tne JMWAVE area. According to CAVADA, . both ZAYAS and SANCHEZ were working with Alberto FERNANDEZ and “were : more intorosted in politics than in returning to PBRUMEN, reo geiving training, and giving assistance to the membore of the UR . in PBRUMEN,” (31) CAVADA was informed he would not act as liaidow °° |” between the UR and KUBARK. because he lacked “military knowledge," Eventually he was assigned to recruiting radop candidates, No “apeoial assignmonte" were given him. BSRITO completed training at ZRMETAL in Docomber and was also sent to the JHWAVE area, BRITO wae not utilized for some time, then was givon the taak of. - leoturing on security to boat crews, (31) He was terminated in February 1962, Those men had been leadora of the UR.in PBRUMEN, ZAYAS, SANCHEZ and FERNANDEZ made little effort to organize the UR in’ exile, On the contrary, their attitude toward other UR . leaddra in the JMWAVE area oroated a breach in the UR exile leadere ghip from which it hna never recovered, ZAYAS waa formally , ues pxeyious EnctioH, g-BLel ler " ar he ‘ Beeaacea an ae NO FOREIGN DISSEM : Lax] eonunues fern Ldietad tea privat

There are questions regarding its penetration by G-2 (DSE) agents. Individual leaders of UR now in PBPRIME claim personal networks of trustworthy followers ia PBRUMEN ready to act if provided the necescary weapous and support. Aithough there is no disunity evident in the UR in PBRUMEN, the movement in PBPRIME today is experiencing what seems in= evitably to occur among external groups: bitter factionalism, There are two main factions in existence as of January 1963: 1) RODRIGUEZ Espada with GARCIA Oller, who received --, documented authority to represent the PBRUMEN group ve in exile; and ; . 2) the TORRIENTE group, a political conglomeration of wat pocket organizations having little contact with any =" \- movement in PBRUMEN. ; RODRIGUEZ Espada is supported by KUFARK. This UR faction is attempting to enter AMBUD; it publishes a newspaper: it is intended to provide an overt umbrella mechanism to cover KUBARK exploitation of KUCAGE, KUTUBE and PM assets, operationally eompartmented and handled unilaterally, (See Attachment B for details.) 7 nate PART IT, _ co Activity in PBPRIME = tg The UR in PBPRIME was registered with the Attorney General under the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938 by Hector FEBLES , Luis VEGA and Aurelio FERNANDEZ on 22 November 1961, [It was described as “Coordinator of several underground organizations fighting Communism; and it listed ag “foreign principals" 37 organizations claimed to exist in PBRUMEN.

(79) , Several leaders of UR met with KUBARK representatives "Cal Hitch” and “Jim Bowdin™ at ZRMETAL from 22-29 September 1961 to review the status of UR in PBRUMEN and arrange for future operational contacts in PBPRIME, It was reported that the UR had agreed to cooperate with MRR, certain MRP leaders -(e.8., MENDOZA), and other major groups “as advocated by AMCOAX-1," The discussions appeared to have a good effect du the morale of those who participated. The contact report stated no commitments _- had been made by KUBARK, but at least one of the UR lesders came away with the impression that the UR in PBRUMEN would be supported “as necessary’ by KUBARK, but that the exile element could not be supported, (31) It was recommended that the UR in exile. become part of AMBUD, not only to receive financial support, but “get along with AMBUD-1." Under no circumstances was th3 UR to . publicly oppose him. On returning to the JMWAVE area, the UR would be.in contact with "Mr. Peters" and all future business and training was to be handled through him, (204) After a week of discussions with “hir, Peters"-in the JMWAVE area ending in mid-October, the UR received the following routine commitments: KUBARK was willing to support a UR training program involving up to five trainees at one time; the program could begin as goon as the UR obtained a suitable safe Site, KUBARK would provide support for UR operations in PBRUMEN on receipt of an acceptable ops plan and secure reception points. For aid to legitimate UR operations in PBRUMEN would be given $10,000 at the end of October ‘Around the end of October Fernando CAVADA was sent from KUBARK Headquarters to act as liaison contact between the UR and KUBARK in the JMWAVE area and to undertake other assignments in connection with unification of exile groups, Possibly because ’ discussions had just been held with ZAYAS, and considering his - Fecently held position as General Coordinator of the UR in PERUMEN, no immediate steps were taken at JMWAVE to establish CAVADA as the liaison ‘contact with KUBARK, It was considered eventually that. . CAVADA's ‘background was not ourfictently “military” to utilige hin in any responsible capacity in connection with what were primarily paramilitary operations, He wag assigned to recruiting. of potential radops.

Another activity of SANCHEZ and ZAYAS of operational interest was reported by ANGLAD-4 in mid-December 1961. it concerned their connection with the clandestine operational group known as Celula — ’ Fantasma, said to be directed by Sergio ROJAS Santamurina, Tormer PBRUWEN Ambassador to the UK, and Julio GARCERAN. AMBLEAK~i re - ported on this group some months later and included Alberto FERNANDEZ among UR members involved, A-1l reported that Marcos DIAZ Lanz {nformed him that KUBARK had granted $150,000 to this “Phantom Cell” via ROJAS, who used it to finance three overflights during which pamphlets were dropped. which contained instructions in guerrilla warfare and anti-regiue: propaganda. ROJAS spent some of the money in travel to Nicaragua and other countries, and some was said to have been used to purchase a small boat for maritime operations. (37;202) — . No record of this alleged KUBARK support is available at JMWAVE,. ; . Of the activities ZAVYAS seemed to be engaged in toward the end of 1961, organization of the UR in exile was not one of his pre@ occupations, Other UR leaders urged him to establish a more formal _ organization, renew contact on a regular basis with the UR in PBRUMEN, ‘and attempt to gain all pessible recognition and support to build an _effective opposition movement. Some urged him to hold a formal - meeting of the UR merely to gain an opportunity to register proteste and submit their resignation, Among these were Fernando CAVADA, Wilfredo BRITO, Aurelio FERNANDEZ, and Luis VEGA, (202) By October Beemassne same ede 1961 other former members of UR and its affiliated organigatione’*".. ...| were also arriving in the JMWAVE area.

(31) It was learned in July 1962 that TORRIENTE's claim itself was false, (See below) & x . a Cnn er eer he eo: , CAVADA reported.in July 1962 that at the time of the survey it was learned that leaders of the MAR, BOAC, SAC, UCAL “and others" were in contact with their organizations inside, The inventory of aeaets claimed by UR as exploitable as a result of this survey are discussed in Part III of this Attachment.

(Translated extract) With respect to entry into AMBUD, TORRIENTE (basicai ly“opposed) held a meeting at his home on 17 May 1962 at which the UR was to consider ‘naming a delegate at the invitation of AMQUD-1.

GARCIA é GARCIA Oller was instructed to point out that this money was : for use only in connecticn with establishment of the intelligence Bet, and whes he urged that money also be sent fer UR activity he stated this would confuse UR leaders inside, eince LOPEZ and MIYARES were of the “old UR" group, headed by ZAYAS and SANCHEZ, and that..he had reported they were no longer connected with KUBARK, but in dis@ favor (which was true), He did not include FERNANDEZ in this group. (173) As it turned out, hia fears were unfounded. The UR in PBRUMEN received the 28 June letter from LOPEZ and in a document dated 3 July 1962 responded by appointing GARCIA Oller as extraordinary delegate of UR with orders to reorganize the exile element withia 30 days and report the result to PBRUMEN, Only the best, most - Qualixtied and ‘sincerest persons were to be selected for the Executive, He was further designated UR representative to the Junta Nacional Revolucionaria (JNR) in PBPRIME, also effective 3 July. (127) (the ONR i@ described in.Part IIL, below). .Another document sent with that containing the vote of confidence from PBRUMEN to GARCIA Oller informed him that the UR National Coordinator, Sergio FUENTEFRIA SANIEL), had been deposed for malfeasance in office and was in asy lum in the Uruguayan Embassy; and that ZAYAS and SANCHEZ were dismissed . from the UR for actions contrary to its interest, (127) GARCIA Oller was actually out of town when these documents froa PBRUMEN arrived, but returned on 18 July and immediately reported their receipt to his KUBARK C/O. By 25 July he had notified major . exile movements of his position as Delegate Extraordinary, of appoint- ment of an Advisory Committee tc execute the reorganizetion of UR in” exile, and of the immediate inefficacy of all former members of the UR General Board of Directors. He also stated that the new UR , .

Continuing his efforts to organize an improved intelligence net ‘in PBRUMEN GARCIA Oller on 19 July replied to a letter he had ree ceived frok SOTOLONGO who was then in the Panamanian Embassy, asking sel the latter to put “the people operating the. radio" in touch with ; .

He also advised SOTOLONGO to integrate his : erganization (Accion 62) with the UR and asaure that it is in touch | . with the UR, “as they are the ones whe are going to receive. the a ; equipment there in PBRUMEN.“ SOTOLONGO had asked GARCIA if he could. _$ provide any assistance to Arnoldo MARTINEZ, the guerrilla leader in ; Las Villas Province (second cousin to SOTOLONGO), GARCIA referred lim to SOCARRAS and QUINTERO for monetary support for MARTINEZ, until euch time as “equipment” could be delivered, (128) \ On 21 July GARCIA Oller wrote te General Coordinator ALVAREZ (ROBERTO) and the National Executive of UR in PBRUMEN (via. diplomatic pouch) and expressed his gratitude for the vote of confidence they had given him, He stated the re-organization of the Executive would begin “next week."

POZO replied he knew the UR and “sould be pleased if the ALC tere permitted te go alongside the UR as soldiers fighting for the liberation of PBRUMEN,“(138) No further taformation regarding thie approach is available, SARRERGL GORA FOE yom at ow Another approach to UR was made by UNIR leader Esteban Aquiles MORRERA., -In late June 196%, UR member Ramon ARECHAVALETA Calvo had brought MORRERA to meet CAVADA and RODRIGUEZ Espada to discuss support -for a revolt in MBRUMEN to be attempted without ODYOKE, KUBARK or AMBUD participation or knowledge, The object was tc force ODYOKE inte action after UNIR and others had gained a foothold is PBRUMEN as a result of the revolt they planned to incite.(49) The UR leaders declined, but MORRERA returned on 14 August and offered them: leading posts in UNIR. MORRERA told of travels to New York and Washingtoa, interviews with Congressmen (most impresued by Sen. SMATHERS), PBRUMEN business leaders (mentioned Julio LOBO), and his success in obtaining a promise from Carlos MARQUEZ Sterling to Gome to the JMWAVEL area to head an anti-AMBUD organization which MORRE would attempt to organize, If the UR leaders did not want to accept prominent posts in UNIR, MORRERA requested they consider merging UR, UNIR and other groups into a type of combined organization. (48) To - date, neither of these proposals has materialized, ; , Late in Auguet former MRP leader Manolo RAY was discussing formation of a new, strong, revolutionary “unity” group in Puerto Rico, .He arrivéd in the JMWAVE area for meetings early in September, Among organizations allegedly to be included were the.UR, MRE,MRP,. 30 November, MRRC, MAPA and the Huber MATOS group. RAY was reported to have “an ally in the White House" who had assured him that if ; @ purely revolutionary organization were created "it would be heard and heeded for major engagements." He was said to have been advised further that even if ODYOKE acted “positively” towards PBRUMEN, such a new group would have to be taken into consideration becauge it would control “the workers and the mass population, "(225) These.efforts led to the emergence of "JURE" but by no means did it actually include UR and the major organizations named. The UR cannot be considered as sympathetic to RAY, and if any part of UR ‘were associated with “JURE it would be little mora than some minor . faction. There is no evidence .to indicate that RAY has received support from any UR faction. Mention of Ud in connection with the new “JURE” can lead to confusion since this wae actually the short title selected at the UR re-prganization meoting in February 1962 as a designation for the exile element. Though recorded in the minutes: of that. meeting, the title was never used thereafter, (The initials atood for Junta de Unid Rovoiucionaria en el Exilio), (197) There is once possible vn d explanation for "“JURE™ hope of gaining UR support.

The letter included the following remarks regarding eatry into AMBUD: (196) “eee have appreciated the invitation made by AMBUD~1 on @ visit by Jose E, de la TORRIENTE and Dr. Juan MEDINA Vega, respectively President aud Secretary of the UR, This offer was accepted in principle by the UR Coordinators’ Asseably last night, as in agreement with our ideological principles, we believe that PBRUMENs should not oniy unite in the political sense, but alsuvu in the military, because the bitter hour which we are living is for war." This reply to AMBUD-1 may have been expedited following publication in Diario Las Americas on 16 September of an appeal to all exiles by Jose F. RODRIGUEZ Espada to join UR in the fight for liberation of PBRUMEN, He signed as Secretary Ceneral. The appeal included an announcement of the reorganization of UR in exile based on the vote of confidence given to Salvador GARCIA Oller. by UR in PBRUMEN. It listed new officers selected on the basis of stipulations of the National Executive in PBRUMEN: that all be former members of the underground, dedicated and well-qualified. (156) JMWAVE officers had initiated operational contact with RODRIGUEZ Espada on 17 August 1962 te establish the re-organized UR overt mechanism as cover for compartmented FI and PM operations. (147) Discussions had previously been held with CAVADA and GARCIA Oller concerning selection of an Executive Board, RODRIGUEZ Espada was the unanimous choice for the post of Secretary General,(148) The list of UR officers suggested by. JMWAVE and the idea of combining certain posts to produce a small, efficient Executive Board proved to be acceptable to the new Secretary General at the 17 August meeting. It was pointed out-to RODRIGUEZ Espada that the UR in exile would function primarily in the field of political action and propaganda; clandestine activity im support of UR in PBRUMEN and KUTUBE operations would be sponsored on a compartmented basis by various KUBARK @lementa. While the Secretary General .would be informed of the broad outline of UR clandestine activities, he would not necessarily know the details.(147) See Attachment B for operational - summary of JHWAVE contact with UR. “At the 17 Auguet meeting it was pointed out to RODRIGUEZ Espada that JHMWAVE wlanned UR entry into AMBUD, with much publicity, in the hope tlat-such 2 move weuld strengthen AMBUD and instigate a general unity tendency among exile groups. At this point ha indicated that UR would exter AMSUD if necessary, but that this was only because KUBARK wished it. (As it developed, the 30 November AMBUD delegate threatened to resign if only one UR . faction were admitted; UR entry is now in abeyance, RODRIGUEZ Eepada submitted a paper on his own concept of -how AMBUD might function more effectively, In essence it stated: (147) 1) ODYOKE would not deal with any PBRUMEN group oxcept - through AMBUD; 2) an appeal for aid by any PBRUMEN group to any, _ ODYOKE @lement would be referred to AMBUD:; ~ 3) “each requoat for aid would receive initial acreoning . : by @ qualified AMBUD panel; 45 after receiving AwMBUD recommendations, ODYOKE would CLABAIEICATION use Ghevigua UTE Sbde ataea aan 64-30 §-E-C-R-E@T L] courimuen _ «WHICH ARE GoeuLare, NO FOREIGN DIGSEM eo _

The first issue of the official UN organ, Unidad, was published on 10 Novesser 1962, (188) One resolve of the new UR was to stop the practice of listing the names of its affiliated organizations, As Mario SEIGLIE pointed out, there seemed to be a competition in the exile community as to which organization could claim support of the largest number of exile groups. The UR wanted no part of this meaningless exercise; its members were to work together in the name of UR,(155) The Executive Board of the re-organized UR in September 1962 was reported as follows: (194) .

Attachment F to this Dispatch contains names of organe- izations with abbreviated titles which include the "UR" initials. At least two organizations, however, actually use the name Unidad Revolucionaria, One of these is headed by former Batista Senator Rolando HASFERRER Rojas and was reported in August 1962 to be located’ in offices at 600 West 136th Street, Apartment 6E, New York City. This group was first named Un Rifle (UR), or Un Rifle Cada Cubano (URCC), claiming as its objective to supply a rifle to every citizen for use in the underground.(165) The UR abbreviation was probably not intended to be misleading, but uninformed exiles believed it stood for the familiar Unidad Revolucionaria. They were not corrected by MASFERRER: on the contrary,he adopted the title. (195) Another organization using the name Unidad Revolucionaria was located in Tampa, included nine small, loosely organized groups in April 1962, and. was headed by Manuel MARTIN Benito (aka: Dan MARTIN).

The - game day thé Embassy was visited by a Dr. (fnu) MAURI and Prof, Jose’ M. BOLANOS of Habana University, who reported that one CONZALEZ (probably Enrique GONZALEZ, friend of GEDDES and employee of Pepsi Cola) wanted the Embassy to grant. asylum to GEDDES and the militiaman, The Embassy stated it could not “engage in activities of anh irregular nature",(11) -On 1 June GEDDES called the Embassy and said he was safe but he did not know for how long. He said a letter would be delivered to-the Embassy in a few hours which would explain. the eutire transaction,. This letter was delivered (hand- writing was that of GEDDES) and it contained a request that $15,000 or the equivalent in pounds eterling be turned over: to a third party from the Embassy, and that this sum "would be guaranteed by either his wife or KENDALL of Pepsi Cola in New York City."' The letter asked that the transaction be completed within 24 hours and added that the - militiam.n must be granted asylum by the Embassy. On 2 June another ' letter was delivered to the Embassy from GEDDES via Julio VILLANUEVA (a local attorney for Pepsi Cola) again urging that the money he turned over as requested, VILLANUEVA returned to the Embassy on 5 June and-.said Mrs. GEDDES in PBPRIME had put up the equivalent of 26,000 pesos and that the money would possibly be turned over that night ‘to a "man from GONZALEZ."

(An MRR group in Oriente Province collaborates). (41) Several sources reported these groups did not join because they were already supported individually by “friends in the north," (An historical footnote to formation of JNR is the fact that the geven major resistance groups mentioned above had previously 4 mot at Gicarsen Medical Laborutory, Vedado, on 7 July 1961 to discuss unity, and some representatives even took it upon thenselves to sign an agreemeut in the names of their organizations, For a. number of reasons, unity was never achieved.

As for the UR, he does not feel it is penetrated, but rather that it was betrayed by someone “who knew us and now has no contact with. UR." He believes UR was eX= posed by a person who imew a member of the Executive some tine ago. This permitted G-2 to conduct surveillances. Detention of UR members had been made indiscriminately on 30 August, with little attention paid to the importance of individual leaders, He felt that i£ G-2 had known more about UR, that he, ALVAREZ, would have been arrested first.(169) On 16 Oct:ber Pedro LOPEZ wrote to UR in exile that ALVAREZ and others suspected Rosario MORENO, a J]9=_ _model and former mistress of FUENTEFRIA, deposed UR Coordina= 6 a or.

It was also reported that all correspondence and documentation had been destroyed in the raid and sums of money on hand had been “lost in the search."(150) ALVAREZ and the Military Coordinator (not positively identifiable) left Habana to check on damage to UR ob \ MENEZ, had not been killed as at first reported, but instead had en awaiting word on damage to UR in the capital.

A secondary objective was to create Similtaneously a KUCAGE vehicle responsive to JKWAVE - direction which would serve ODYOKE policy needs for the present, and develop into a political entity of stature in PBRUMEN after the overthrow of AMTHUG to assure the presence of a moderate element in the, anticipated struggle between extremists of the right and left. - More specifically, the UR "umbrella" mechanism will cover activities of various JMWAVE assets with minimum possible danger that operations become common knowledge, or are exploited for personal political or material gain, or are otherwise interfered with by other than direct participants. JMWAVE intends also to guide UR entry into AMBUD and encourage other exile groups to. follow. UR successes of any type would thus be shared by AMBUD, _ provided conditions are auch that they may be publicized, ; SMWAVE, by supporting UR exploitation of public media, would : be able to disseminate propaganda themes to PBRUMEN exiles in PBPRIME, J to Latin America, and occasionally to other areas of the free world, ...

It is possible that internal assets of LDC i in Las Villas may be used ag support for infiltration teams, Currently the principal value of this agent is his potential for exploitation in PW operations through hia contact with the i three exile groups in which he shares the leadership, All have : ——. 2 -Fecently become more active in propaganda and political action prograns, . J. AXBLEAK-1 A eo Net vel wad. Agent was active in the UR in PBRUMEN prior to Plays Giron, Because of his PBPRIME citizenship, he was released by DSE in June 1961 after pressure was exerted by several Embassies in PBRUMEN, Agent proceeded to ZRMETAL, contacted KUBARK, and was sent to JKWAVE for use in connection with UR operational exploitation, He has since been utilized in several capacities in connection vith UR.

Following the re-organization of the : exile UR in August 1862, AMDENIM-1 separated from the UR completely  &.: because of his personal belief that the new leadership does not_ represent original UR principles.
