the Cuban Refugee Assistance Program.

located at 3083 Northwest 32nd Street.

was formerly a member of the Cuban

Rebel Army, and who

is acquainted with certain anti-CASTRO personalities in

the Miami area, advised as follows:

DEMBER OF SUBEG ORGANIZATION.

MANOLO AGUILAR, 829 Southwest Ninth Avenue,

Miami, is Head of the Frente Revolucionario Anticomunista

(FRAC), and was planning to mount one or more raids

against Cuba in two or three weeks. Source stated the

AGUILAR group has three boats, two of which are located

in the Miami River, and one in a garage in Miami. It was

also reported that they had a cache of explosives which

they were planning to use on these raids. Source stated

that this group had contacts in New York, where they

were buying arms which they plan to bring to Miami. Among

the equipment which they were seeking to buy were a number

of .57 millimeter recoilless rifles. He stated that this

group also had contacts with fishermen in Key West, Florida,

on whom they could count for assistance in connection with

their proposed raids.

"Diario Las Americas", a Spanish language

newspaper published in Miami, Florida, in its issue of

February 15, 1962, contained

a directory of Cuban

Revolutionary and

Professional Organizations in Exile.

On this list was the Frente Revolucionario Anticomunista,

453 Northwest Third

1 Street, Miami.

The April 27, 1962 issue of the "Miami Herald"

carried a front page article entitled, "Exiles Train

Again Without U.S. Aid".

The article reflected there

FIA:

were approximately twenty-two anti-CASTRO groups under-

going military instruction in the Miami area.

Listed as

participating in this training was MANUEL AGUIIAR, Head

of the Anti-Communist Revolutionary Front.
