     The  following report  is one of  a series containing  personality
     information  provided  by the source  and includes  supplemental
     information  from  the records of  this Agency.

     It  is requested.that  the addressees  take no action  on any of
     the  individuals mentioned  in the  personality reports  without
     first  checking with  this Agency.

          Upon further questioning  of source,  he revealed  that the full
     name  of Armando, subject  of the above .referenced report,  is Armando
     TORRES  Mesones, alias  El Frances.   He is the curriculum  administra-
     tive  officer in the Departamento  Escuelas  Especiales  (Department of
     Special  Schools - EE),  responsible  for guerrilla warfare  training,
     in the  Direecion General  de Inteligencia  (General Directorate  of
     Intelligence  - DGI).  Operations  officers  from the Departamento
     de Liberacion  Nacional  (National Liberation  Department  -LN) of the
     DGI send  TORRES a statement  as to what  an individftal agent, or
     groups  of agents, is expected  to do upon  returning to his  native
     country  and TORRES arranges  a training schedule  which will  prepare
     each individual  for, his assignment; he decides  how many hours  of
     instruction  each trainee  will have and  in what subjects.   In addition,
     he arranges  the schedules  of the instructors  in the various  schools
     and handles  the overall administration   for them.  TORRES does  not
     teach courses  himself although  he ranks as  the chief instructor.   He
     works particularly  close with  the Venezuelan  desk officers and  has
     relatively  less to do with  other LN Department  operations officers.1
