                          1.  The General Directorate-of Intelligence  (Direccion General de
                              Inttaligencia - DGI) is the Cuban external intelligence agency,
                              charged with maintaining security, collecting  information,

                              (Departamento de Seguridad del Estado - DSE).  The two agencies
                              are independent but maintain liaison and coordination on cer-
                              tain matters.
