On July 13, 1966, a confidential

about two weeks ago an individual known as Evilio, strella,

informant advised that

Cuban, whom the informant described as possibly coming originally

from the Cuban Province of Pinar del Rio, appeared at the Pan

American Union (PAU) in Washington, D.C.

Estrella went to the

office of another Cuban, Guillermo-Belt, who never met Estrella.

and asked if Belt could get

secretary of PAU to type a small one

The informant learned from Belt, who is employed in thel

Department of Administrative Affairs of the PAU, that the memoran

dum which was handwritten in the Spanish language and contained

many spelling and grammatical errors,

was of no real substance,

It merely recognized the need for unification among Cubans and the

establishment of a Cuban Government In Exile. The memorandum then

set out a long list of names of various Cubans who were to partici-

pate in the exile government. The informant recalled the following:

President - Carlos Marquez Sterling, former Cuban

Presidential Aspirant in 1958

07-74

United Nations Representative - Emile/Nunez Portuondo,

former Cuban Senator and United Nations

Representative

V.

s. y

ambassador to the United States - Guillermo Belt/Ramirez,

father of the Belt employed at PAU and former-

The informant also learned from Belt at the PAU that & U

the memorandum was originally to be taken by Estrella to the

White House and presented to the President of the United States.

However, after the memorandum was typed and in good form, Estrella

decided

to take it to the United States Department of State (USDS)

USDS would immediately recognize the group as the first Cuban

Government in Exile opposed to the government of Fidel Castro.

The informant related that Belt considered the entire matter

unimportant and dismissed the idea.

A second confidential informant advised on July 13, 1966)

that he has been a very close friend of Carlos Marquez Sterling

for many years. He recently received a letter from Sterling

which did not mention one word of the scheme of Estrella and

the fact that Estrella "appointed" Sterling as head of the Cuban

Government in Exile.

The informant felt that had this been an

Both informants considered this just another attempt by

another Cuban exile to establish a government in exile; placed

no importance on the matter and
