       Dearest Chris,

       Funny you should have written me asking if I had ever heard
       about Manuel Rey -- he has been of interest to me in my work
       for nearly a year -- so here is all you ever wanted to know
       but were afraid to ask.

               Manuel Ray Rivero was born in Cuba in 1924.  He has

       been described as softspoken, unassuming, almost humble --

       a natural leader of the highest intellect, &..est  sincerity

       and conviction.  In 1947, because of his outstanding performance

       as a civil engiezer, he was granted a scholarship by the Cuban

       Ministry of Public Works to pursue graduate studies in engineering

       at the University of Uta .  Ray was in the United States for

       twp years  ut did not complete his work for a ,Masters Degree.

       When he returned to Cuba, he held various positions in the

       engineering field, one of which was .Pioject ,Mi'nager for the

       construction of the Havana Hilton Hotel.

               In May 1957 he organized the Civic Resistance Movement

       which supervised sabotage and acts of terrorism against the

       Batista regime.  Fidel Castro appointed him Minister of
