Report from Miami

August 6, 1965

Title: Carlos Zarraga Martinez - Internal Security, Cuba

Informant said on June 17, 1965 that Zarraga continues as

head of small, independent, anti-Castro organization,

Cuba Libre.

The group recently acquired a motor boat

and plans to send commandos into Cuba.

The Boat was made

available by RECE.

When RECE announced a union with the

MIRR

and Commandos L on June 22, 1965, Zarraga was ready

to return the boat, because he did not wish to be associated

in any way with MIRR. He met with Polo Miranda Of RECE

who convinced him to keep the boat.
