1. In addition to the ordinary telephone system in Havana, there is
a government telephone system which uses the exchange name PIZARRA,
connecting all offices of government organizations and government-
sponsored enterprises. Each government office or enterprise has
at least one PIZARRA telepho.= which is distinct from the regular
telephone system. In the Dire~cion General de Inteligenc-ia
(General Directorate of Intlligenc-? - DGI) Headquarters, there
ls a PIZARRA telphone controlled by Manuel PI!iEIRO Losada's
secretary, Vidalina, who works in M building. If any member
of the DGI wishes to call anyone on sensitive business through
the PIZARItA exchang?, lie may either state his requirements to
Vidalina, who will make tt-e :all for him and report the informa-
tion back when she has acquired it, or go to M building and
make the call himself 'on the PIZARRA telephone. With the exception
of PIAEIRO's residence ana 6ff icy, where he has his own PIZARRA
telephone, i:o other DG' office has a PIZARRA telephone. There is
no directory for PIZARRA numbers and it is not a dial system, but
works through a central switchboard with operators; it is con-
sidered secure. The caller picks up the telephone and gets an
operator on the central PIZAPRA switchboard; the caller asks for
the off1'a: to which'he wishc-s to speak, and, if he knows, asks for
the person to whcm he wis'- to speak. A DGI officer whose office
is outside of M build ti' mra call into M building on the regular
line (23-2555) and ask -1o Vialira.
2. Each DGI office has a number of private (as opposed to PIZARRA)
telephoucs: In the Departamento de 1iberation Nacional (National
Liberation DeFartma:t - LN), rutside the M building headquarters,
for example, ther- arc six telephones. From these telephones one
dials any numter in the telephone directory, private or a govern-
s ment ofiice number, direct. For internal calls within the DGI, 5
