On May 16, 1963,

the first two years

a sourgewadvised that durin

7-27-72

of the FPCC's existence there was a struggle

between Communist Party (CP) and Socialist Workers Party (SWP)

elements to exert their power within the FPCC and thereby influence

FPCC policy.

However, during the past year this source observed

there has been a successful effort by FPCC leadership to minimize

the role of these and other organizations in the FPCO

so that today

their influence is negligible. ou

On May 20, 1963, a second source advised that the

ORIGINAL FILED

National Headquarters of the FPCC is located in Room 329 at

Broadway, New York City. According to this source

the positione

of National Office Director was created in the Fall of 1962 and

was filled by Vincent "Ted" Lee

who now formulates FPCC policy.

This source observed Lee has followed a course of entertainine

and accepting the cooperation of many other organizations

including the CP and the SWP when he has felt it would be to

his personal benefit as well as the FPCe's.

However, Lee has

.. indicated to this source he has no intention of permitting FPeC

policy to be determined by any other organization.

Lee feels the

FPCC should advocate resumption of diplomatic relations betweer

Cuba and the United States and support the right of Cubans to

manage their revolution without interference from other nations,

but not support the Cuban revolution per se.

The CP and the SWP have

been designated pursuant

to Executive Order 10450
