Aecion Sindical Independiente (ASI) (Independent Labor Action) is the labor group of the Junta Cubana Revolucionaria (JCR) (Cuban Revolutionary Board). Both are composed of Cuban exiles in Miami and in New York City. The ASI is headquartered in Miami and the JCR in New York City. CONRADO RODRIGUEZ SANCHEZ, a Cuban exile, who is a former labor leader in Cuba, now residing in Miami, represents both of these organizations in Miami. In October, 1971, MM T-1, who is well-acquainted with some members of the ASI in Miami, . reported that RODRIGUEZ had disclosed, that his men in New York and Washing~ West "were .accumulat ing’ ‘plastic explosives to blow up democratic Vestablishments" belonging to countries: that maintain relations with the CASTRO Regime of Cuba. Shortly thereafter agents | of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in Miami and New York City interviewed RODRIGUEZ and several other indi~ viduals who were alleged ‘to. be leaders of the ASI and JCR. They denied involvement in. any such plan. Several days later, according ~- ‘to MM T-1,. RODRIGUEZ expressed the opinion | , that the ASI and JCR people in New York City were crazy since they intendéd to continue with their bombing plans despite the fact. that the FBI had obtained information concerning these plans. x " TAL IFIED B Et x ain Pty tm u MATION CoN L ES, oS ' HEREIN |S U DAT HE, Current Developments The January 28, 1972 issue of the Spanish language publication "Cuba Espera", Miami, Florida, carried an article which consisted of a photograph of a group of men described as executives of the ASI and.

RE: ACCION SINDICAL INDEPENDIENTE (ASI) "(INDEPENDENT LABOR ACTION) | INTERNAL SECURITY - CUBA JUNTA CUBANA REVOLUCIONARIA (JCR) (CUBAN REVOLUTIONARY BOARD) INTERNAL SECURITY ~- CUBA . This publication also carried an item stating that at an executive meeting of the JCR and ASI, Miami, Florida, it was agreed to support the Cuban Medical - Association in Exile in its tribute to President JOSE. _ FIGUERES of Costa Rica, to work together in the underground inside Cuba,to free political prisoners whereever they may — be, to repudiate co-existence with CASTRO Communism and to give total support. for a Government in Arms on Cuban territory. . On March 7, 1972, MM T-1 advised that CONRADO RODRIGUEZ indicated that members of the JCR in New York City had been involved in an attack on a diplomatic car in New York City during the recent past. RODRIGUEZ, however, did not identify the place or the car involved in this alleged attack. He said the name of the JCR had not been used since members of the JCR are being constantly watched by the FBI. , . co RODRIGUEZ also disclosed that he is making contact with various labor organizations in Latin America in order to develop a plan to attack Communists and pro-Communists in Latin America. He claimed to have already: received the backing. of at least three labor groups. He also disclosed that a friend of his is talking with members of the Costa Rican government as it is necessary to have a sanctuary in a Latin American country ‘in order to carry out this plan of attack. - RODRIGUEZ mentioned, according to MM T=-1l, that he had received a communication from a Bolivian labor leader who indicated that members of his organization are willing to fight along side the Cuban exiles in their battle against the CASTRO Regime. He indicated that acts of sabotage in Latin America are being considered as a means of carrying out this plan of attack. 3. HW 54464 Docld:32296636 Page 5
HW 54464 C O RE: ACCION SINDICAL INDEPENDIENTE (ASI) (INDEPENDENT LABOR ACTION) INTERNAL SECURITY - CUBA JUNTA CUBANA REVOLUCIONARIA (JCR) (CUBAN REVOLUTIONARY BOARD) INTERNAL SECURITY - CUBA RODRIGUEZ again stated that he has received — news from New York that his men are still determined to carry out acts of sabotage against democratic establishments of countries which maintain economic or commercial relations with the CASTRO Regime, however, he did not furnish any specific information as to the exact targets, time schedule or other pertinent details. It is to be noted that on January 9, 1972, the "Washington Capitol News Service" made a press release reporting that a car belonging to the Cuban Mission to the United Nations was scorched when a rag was placed inside the gas tank and set afire. The article related that an anonymous caller, speaking Spanish, said that the "Commando de Cuba Rebelde'(Rebel Cuban Command) was responsible and that "this is the beginning of what Cuban diplomatic representatives here can expect".
