                                                    -2 RE T

                                                             19 June 1963


                            MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

                            SUBJECT:  Manolo RAY


                                 1.  1 did not have the oppoitunity to discuss many Cuban
                            problems with Manolo RAY during the period 4-13 June in both
                            Sun Juan and Paris. Our meetings were largely devoted to the
                            effort of contacting and attempting to recruit or cause the
                            defection of Carlos FRANQUI. The following, however are the
                            conclusions of my brief effort to discuss the general situation
                            with RAY.

                                2.  Manolo RAY's Attitude Towards KIARK:  It has become
                           obvious to me on this second meeting with Manolo RAY that:

                                    a.  RAY is convinced that the Agency had in the past
                                purposely and actively attempted to destroy him as a
                                political leader.  In this connection, RAY feels that the
                                Agency, following the Bay of Pigs invasion, was partially
                                responsible for the break up of the MRP clandestine net-
                                work and resistance potential in and out of Cuba. RAY
                                stated that he has proof of the participation of at least
                                one KUBARK officer in a plot with certain KRP officials to
                                remove him from the MRP as a condition for KUBARK's
                                assistance to that organization. RAY added that the
                                officer in question has been fired. He either did not
                                know or could not recall the individual's name or pre-
                                ferred not to mention it.

                                   b.  On the strength and position of the State White
                               Paper on Cuba prior t-o the Bay of Pigs, RAY's MRP joined
                               the FRD (later the CRCX. While his organization was a
                               member of the FRD -the attention if [UBARI and the U. S.
                               Government was cahed time and time again, by the FRD
                               and by the MRP to the infiltration and u*,, of notorious
                               Batistianes in ani-Castre activit  s.  Ae'te  these-
