I know that they nave had meetings in the past few months. There is also something which I have not mentioned up to now, and. that is the publicly known fact that on September 19th of this year, the Costa Rican foreign minister, Gonzale Facic, was threatened with death in the city of Washington. This threat was publiciy announced by the ambassador of Costa Rica in Washington, “Rodel fo. VY Silva.

This is what has been commented on within the aggressive counterrevolutionary circles, in their meetings, and now the columnist Jack Anderson has not. only confirmed it but has also mentioned something I had no knowledge of, the fact that these terrorist bands are plotting to assassinate the members of the United States Congress who favor a review of U. 8. policy on Cuba. MODERATOR: Comrade Prado... REWSMAN: You mentioned that the persons who have attacked our fishermen have been members of these terrorist groups. Could vou t be more explicit? , - Cub & RIVERO: The counterrevolutionaries Juan JosefPerullero, “ntonio Iglesias and Ramon Orozces Crespo are members of ‘those pirate groups. Perallero and Iglesias were the two leaders of the attacks against _ the town of Boca de Sama , where they ‘cowardly killed two Cuban "_-yevolutionaries. and: injured several persons, among them, @ 13~year old girl who had to have her leg amputated because of her wounds. After that action, Perullero, Iglesias and Crespo goined the FNLC. Before this Créspo had carried out a number of attacks against Cuban fishing vessels in 1972 and 1975. His group went so far as to assassinate a humble fisherman and to — kidnap his body. Ramon Orozco Cresposhas been the bodyguard of ° the Florida multimillionaire Naurice/verzer for several years. I would. like to add, since we are speaking of the people who took part in these maritime aggressions, that they are now freely walking on the streets of Miami and New York and publicly boasting of their actions such as the one where they attacked a fishing village and among other things, made a 13-year old girl lose her leg. They boast of this in public, they regard themselves as heroes and other people in that same aggressive current accept them as such.

I should also say that these agEres ‘Sions. against Cuba hate’ been carried out from boats and leunches now anchored in the Miami River which runs through the middle ot the city. However, although tne boats are there plain to see, the authorities apparently are blind. Those people continue to walk the streets of Miami, they continue to possess weapons and equipment which were used in the ettack against Sama and in other actions, and continue to possess the vessels that were used in those attacks. They also continue to plot against Cuba in spite of the fact that there is a treaty ag zainst piracy signed by Cuba and the United ‘States on February 15, 1972 | MODERATOR: Comrade Castellanos... NEWSMAN: To change the subject a littie, do you believe that the press has published everything about the ‘involvement of Cuban counterrevolutionaries in the Watergate case? RIVERO: I don't believe that everything has been revealed, least all the names. I can say with certainty that the ByouUP. bre of five counterrevoiutionaries, including James Me Cord, who {ie an fmerican but who thinks just like a Cuban counterrevolutionary, ‘that group which broke into the Watergate building originally had six members, but at the last minute it was decided that the sixth - person would not participate in the action. That person was Angel. JIPerrer and we've already spoken of him. Another name hasn't ea oe been revealed, that of Manuel Artiine Buesa, civilian chief of Neo the Playa Giron invasion, an agent of the CIA for many years, who was also involved directly in the Watergate case. Artime, approximately two years ago, was plotting to assassinate the chief of the Panamanian state, General Omar Torrijos. Artime had active, direct participation in the Watergate affair, however his name has never been mentioned. There are two more persons involved in that scandal -~-all this is well known in counterrevolutionary circles, I'm not inventing this, it's Doclda: 32302356 Page 25 if - L8- dadek -/0)

MODERATOR: Comrade Marti... NEWSMAN: You said before that the terrorist campaign is a result of the failure of the counterrevo]ution. What, in your opinion, are the causes of this failure? RIVERO: Tht total failure of the counterrevolution is the fact that the Cuban Revolution is a historic and irreversible reality. The terrorist activities which have made outlaws out of the counter revolutionaries have led to a great wave of world protest, even on the part of U.S. public opinion. Moreover, I would say that terrorism is the epitaph of the counterrevolution. NEWSMAN: You've been in Cuba for a while now. How do you feel and what are your impressions of Cuba? RIVERO: I feel highly honored and pleased to be able to return to my country after so many years of absence. In the short time I've been here I've traveled from one ‘end of the island to the other and I can honestly say that I have seen the extraordinary work of social transformation carried out by the Cuban Revolution ‘which has placed our country on an astronimically high level among the nations of the world.
