Or these 10. two are te be fraa "labor", two from the Supreme Court of Cuba, end aix fron “the right ard center". ‘then, the Denocrntic Revolutionary Front (RP) ia to choose three acre people of their am, not necessarily fran the above list.

Naxt, the MAP te to select tree omnes. f[ om iaformed that they have decided upon Raul chibss, Manuel Rey, and relipe Dazce ae their three chofces. Next, "Unidal Ren Revoluctonaria (ur), the Christian Democrats, and “other oppositian grocps” are to name one person to represent. then. This makes a total of 17 names which will have been selected. The . plan thea calis for these 17 iniividuels to serve as @ “fate Executiva’. Tis "“Amta”™ vill thea nane, from anong its own membership, the Provisional President of Cuba, the Provisional Prize Minister, end the Provisional - Cabinet. The "Previsional Legislative Rody” will be formed by the adcre 17 individuals, plus the renaining names on tha original List of 20. Reaction to thia plan has been hostile, macong Cubans who Imew about it. is not happy with it, because be gays that it constitutes US meddling in Cuban internal affaira and because the plan vas allegedly put ferth by reoresentatives of the US Government. But, says Veroney he will asecpt it, . becanse hs sees nO alternative.

These six people would ther select a seventh, who -rauld becane the “Provisiemal President" of Cubs. The MRP Will accept JustoCarri!lo as this seventh person and "Provisional President". Ite reasons are that it mos that JustoCarrillois really omed by the MR?, but that Bis selection would pleases the ORF (who, presumebly, thinks thet it evns hin). My Cuban friends inform 2e that the MRP objects particularly to the presesce of iebe, Batista, Rasco, Marques Storling, and Carbo on the abowe list aod that i¢ fecis strongly that toe remainder of the names on that list are those of right-anid extrece right-wingers.
