the

March 26, 1954, for Miami, Florida, and San/Juan,

I, Puerto

Rico.

While in Miami, NY I-I stäted that CHIBAS would

confer with ROGELIO CISNEROS and would then go to san

COStARICA

CHIBAS, CHIBAS was pessimistic and discontented over the

future of the JURE as he, CHIBAS, feels that RAY has gone

ahead with certain operations without consulting either

CHIBAS or CISNEROS.(&(u)

NY I-I also advised on March 24, 1964, that

recently AVENOL FRANCO of the JURE in New York,

visited

him and stated that there may be a move at the present

time within the JURE in New York, on the part of younger

members, to take over the leadership.

FRANCO told NY T-1

that the younger members of the JURE in New York were

unhappy about the situation because the JURE was quite

Inactive in the New York area.(&u)

but he did not know whether it was true or not that ANTONIO

DE LA CARRERA, one of the original leaders of the JURE in

NY T-2 also stated on March 31, 1964, that in

his recent conversation with RAUL CHIBAS regarding the plan

of the Foreign Relations Section of the JURE, to defect

"In place" members of the Cuban Foreign Service, CHIBAS

told him that he did not think that this was a good plan

and did not think that it was a workable plan.

CHIBAS

also expressed the opinion that none of the current employees

of the Cuban Foreign Service are worthwhile defecting and

It would be a dangerous operation for the JURE to get

involved in.

NY I-2, on April 2, 1964, stated that about 2 or 3

weeks ago, he had been in contact with FERNANDO VOLTO, who

is the Ambassador from Costa Rica to the United Nations. NY T-2

said that he had contacted VOLIO at the request of the

JURE in Puerto Rico because in late September or early

October, 1963, MANUEL RAY and CARLOSTOTAGO visited Costa P.RICA

Rica.

During the visit of RAY and DIAGOto San Jose,

Costa Rica,

they conferred with DANIEL ODUBER, who is the

Secretary of Foreign Relations in Costa Rica, and some kind

of agreement was worked out whereby Costa Rica would offer

"support" to RAY and the JURE.

NY T-2 said that he contacted FERNANDO VOLIO at

the request of CARLOS DIAGO merely to have a contact within

the United Nations whereby the JURE could get support in

the United Nations in the event they were able to start some

kind of uprising inside Cuba.

NY T-2 also stated that from a conversation he

had with CARLOS DIAGO in December, 1963, in Puerto Rico, he

learned that the JURE leadership in Puerto Rico was

working closely with CHARTENTIERAGAMBOA, Who was the Consul

General of Costa Rica in Puerto Rico.

At that time,

December, 1963, CHARTENTIER waS under transfer to El

Salvador

as Consul General and the Costa Rican Corsul

General of El Salvador was being transferred to San Juan,

Puerto Rico. NY T-2 said that CHARTENTIER was concerned
