I. OPERATIONAL

As roflected in the nttached (separate cover) roport submitted

by the AMSCROLL Sccretary Genernl, there were two porsonnel changes

made during the month.

was to replace the commontator on

the early morning farm workers

radio program who died in May.

second was to bring

into full-time status a former part-timo employee

of the propaganda department.

Tho AMSCROLL report also details the contacts mide during

the month with other groups and individuals of significance,

contains an onclosure by AWBLEAK/], on correspondenco maintained with

officials of governments

and organizations of political eignificance

throughout the hemisphere.

Although these activitios are not of direct

operational valuo,

they are important to the ANSCROLL image, which

must bo improved .constantly if tho organization hopes to have a good

standing in exile and,

more Importantly, a future in Cuba. Other

enclosures in tho AuSCROLL Secretary Genoral's report, such as the

summarios of the activities of the Women's and Labor Department, etc.,

are in the same vein.

One item which should be noted is the Cuban

stamp connenorating the third anniversary of the "Victory of Giron,"

which shows tho U.S. eagle in a gun sight as it falls to its death.

Perhaps KUVOLF might conjure up an

appropriate reply to be used at

the correct psychological moment somotime in the future.
