SOURM   A former high-level Cuban official who was once active in the
        revolutionary movement and a confidant of Fidel Castro, He has
        always been anti-Communist and is now strongly anti-Castroe He
        Continues to maintain contact with many Cuban officials at all
        levels of government, Source bas provided a limited number of
        reports which appear to have been accurate.


   1b Usually only a small number of members of the Venezuelan Armed
       Forces of National Liberation (FALN) are being trained in Cuba
       at one time.  The Cubans train cadres around whom large groups
       can be organized,  Transportation is a serious problem when
       large numbers of trainees are involved, especially when it is
       necessary to travel via Prague.

   2.  Fidel Castro Ruz is against sending Cubans as guerrillas to
       Venezuela or any other Latin American country.. Since being con-
       demned by the Organization of American States Castro is more
       cautious; nevertheless he continues to support the FALN and other
       revolutionary groups in Latin American1  It is rumored that some
       money and possibly arms are being channeled to the FALN through
       Ben Bella and Algeria.


El


 In early November German Lairet of the Venezuelan University
Students' Organization was en route to Havana via Prague.  Lairet
planned to work in Ihe FALN office across the street from the Fox
Building in Havana.'

1.  Field Comment,  On the basis of conversations with different
    Cuban Go~vernment officials Source gained the impression that
    the FALN is possibly the primary recipient of Cuban support;
    the prize for Castro is big, but the more important reason
    for supporting the FALN is its fairly effective organization,
    which continues to operate in Venezuela.
