On same day they had a meeting with both Varona and Ray. Droller presented list af 29 names from which they were to chose 10 for provisional govt. Ray got mad. Algo gave them a 7 point program as discussed with the Chief of the Western Hemisphere Division. ; Agreed that Varona, Ray, Artime, Carrillo, Chibas and Pazos would meetd in NY on 26 Feb. in order to examine list of 29 names and make decision and Ray and Varona would retrun to Washington on or about 1 March with their findings. Droller's C omment: ...."We believe that Varona will play bali one way or another, but we are not convinced that Ray will accept our list. We have the impression that he might want to substituge his own list; of course, we must see whate he comes up with. In any case it is our view that we should not rush matters unduly if there is real State Department interest in hving Mr. Ray and company play a role in the pro- visional government. Should the decision be made to write Ray off, we believe t the Assembly could be convolked without too mich ado, substituting Miro Cardona for Ray. It should be noted that the above is only the gist of a long ¢omrersatien session which, by the way, was recorded and took place in the Shoreham hotel....” nm rere es an oe Renn Naa Yarn CESS SIE ee ee re
