IN EXILE FOR THE MRP.)

2. THERE WAS SO MUCH ENTHUSIASM BY THE MRP MEMBERSHIP IN SAVOR

OF THE OFFER TO JOIN FORCES WITH SUCH WELL-KNOWN ORGANIZATIONS THAT

QUESTIONS: AND NOTES OF CAUTION RAISED BY SOME SEEMED HOLLO.

3. ONE OF THE REASONS FOR THE ENTHUSIASM WAS THAT THE MSP

HAD PLANNED TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF JOINING THE CRE DURING ITS MID-

APRIL CONGRESS, BUT JUST PRIOR TO THE OPENING OF THE CONGRESS,

JOSE MIRO CARDONA'S CONTROVERSIAL RESIGNATION HIT THE PRESS.

MOST OF THE MRP MEMBERS SOON CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT

THE CRC WAS FINISHED, AND BEFORE THEY COULD EXAMINE THE POSITION

IN WHICH THIS DEVELOPMENT WOULD LEAVE THEM, THE OFFER TO LINITE WITH

SENE AND ALPHA 6Ó CAME LIKE A BOLT FROM THE BLUE.

4. THIS PROPOSAL TO UNITE WITH SENE AND ALPHA 66 WAS PUT TO AN

OFFICIAL VOTE ON THE MORNING: OF 13 APRIL, IT WAS APPROVED SY

APTROXIMATELY 7D PERCENT OF: THE MRP DELEGATES. THOSE WHO FAVORED

A MORE CAUTIOUS APPROACH TO THIS MOVE ABSTAINED RATHER THAN TAXE

A STAND AGAINST THE MOTION.

i. THE AFTERNION SESSION OF 13 APRIL WAS SCHEDULED TO ELSCT

FOR GODOY FROM A SMALL GROUP OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEMBERS AMONG

WHOM WERE LINO PEREZ, FERNANDEZ NUEVO, ORLANDO MARTINEZ, JULIO

GARCIA MOURE, SAIZ DE LA MORA, AND MARIA CRISTINA HERRARA;

SUT PENIN SEEMED TO HAVE CAPTURED THE IMAGINATION OF

ALL OF THE UNCONMITED EXECUTIVES. PRINCE WAS NOMINATED MORE AS

P.

Y

- A GESTURE TO HIS FORMER UNDERGROUND STATURE, SUT HE WAS NOT

EXPECTED TO FIGURE STRONGLY IN THE VOTING.

6. GODOY'S FOLLOWERS COMPRISE THE CONSERVATIVE BLOC ON THE

QUESTION OF UNITY WITH THE OTHER TWO GROUPS: AND,: REGARDLESS OF

THE OUTCOME OF THE VOTING HE WAS URGED TO RAISE A POINT OF ORDER FOR

R. AN EVENTUAL PUBLIC STATEMENT TO BE ISSUED AT THE END OF THIS CONGRESSE

' DOES THE JOINING OF FORCES WITH ALPHA 66 AND SFNE MEAN THAT THE

R

MR» INTENDS TO ASSIST THE FORMER TWO GROUPS IN CIRCUMVENTING THE

LANS OF: THE HOST GOVERNMENT OR DOES IT MEAN THAT THE FORMER TWO

!

Y

GROUPS ARE SUSSCRIBING TO THE MRP PRINCIPLES AND ESCHEWING THEIR

PAST TACTICS. WHICH WERE AT LEAST PARTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE

RECENT CRACKDOWN ON EXILES BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT? GODOY MAY

GO SO FAR AS TO. SUGGEST THAT IF THE INTENTION IS TO CONTINUE THE

WILDEAT RAIDS, THE MRO SHOULD FIND SOME OTHER BASE FOR OPERATIONS

OUTSIDE THE U.S.
