The affiliation commission will form the initial body of writers of the Community within a six-month period. Thereafter, acceptance of new members will be suspended for six months, but will then be renewed in order to facilitate the work of organizing the Second Congress of the Latin American Cultural Community. Carlos Pellicer and Juan Rulfo are respectively the president and vice-president of the Asociacion de Escritores Mexicanos, A.C. (Association of Mexicin Writers ~- AEMAC), see MEXI-6177 of 5 February 1966, an organization dedicated ostensibly to bettering tne welfare ot writers through increased fringe benefits as well as better publication and distribution of their works. Its constitution specifically forbade its in- volvement in political affairs or entanglement with inter- national organizations. Mario Monteforte is a member of this organization. During recent months, under. the aegis of Pellicer and Rulfo, efforts have been underway to revise this constitution in such a way as tc repeal these provisions without at the same time alienating those of the members who are opposed to dropping these provisions. Pellicer, it will be remembered, attended the COMES meeting in Genoa last year, at which the formation of the CLE was discussed. Despite the vagueness of the wording of articles 3, 4 and 5 (see numbering in attached news clipping) there is no disputing their political. nature. Monteforte alleged to LICOOKY that he did not feel the wording of these three articles is beyond the bounds of reason for a “non-political” organization. LICOOKY concedes that their wording is subject to the broadest interpretation if Monteforte should ever louse the “conductor's baton." Both are guilty of disingenuousness or at best naivete, since these articles seem to us to be not only a license, but almost a-battle cry for political militancy from community members. . : During his trip, Monteforte claims to have met the Chilean President and the Foreign Minister. The former, with whom Monteforte discussed the idea of the comunidades, agreed to write to President Gustavo Diaz Ordaz of Mexico stressing to him the importance of support for the comunidades. The impli- cation is that Mexico's financial and méral support for the next Cultural Congress will be sought in this ways SECRET
