3. THE ONLY "PROFF" THAT GUTIERREZ IS IN CUBA WILL BE

"PHOTUS OF GUTIERREZ AND HIS MEN INSIDE CUBA." VAZQUEZ SAID THEY

-. DID NOT EXPECT TO MAKE KNOWN ANY MILITARY FEAT BY GUTIERREZ, JUST

BE ASSURED THAT THE TRIP "WILL BE SAFE, WITH A MINIMUM OF RISK."

THE OFFER'TO "PULL A SCOOP" AND SEND A STAFFER. IT HAS BEEN DECIDED

NEWSPAPER IS THE MOST RESPECTED IN THE WORLD. THE ALLIANCE WANTS

THE PRESTIGE OF THE TIMES COVERAGE WHEN WORD OF GUTIERREZ' EXPLOITS

IS MADE KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
