newspaper.

They also considered joining the MACIAS

group with another organization known as "La Cruzada Pro

Liberacion de los Presos Cubanos" (Crusade for the Libera-

tion of Cuban Prisoners).

this organization. JESUS LOPEZ

mentioned to CHEMIZO that they

could have machine gun

practice at his farm but there was no indication given

as to the whereabouts of the farm or whether machine guns

were available.

On May 28, 1969, the source advised that JOSE

MACIAS was planning

to hold a meeting of his group on that

date in order to discuss how they would proceed with their

plans for an infiltration mission. MACIAS indicated that

they were still looking for a suitable boat, so that imme-

diate action was apparently not planned. (*(M)

"PAPITO" was observed carrying a stick

of dynamite estimated to be three feet long and about

three inches in diameter. The source did not learn
