                    MEMOI4RANDUM   FOR   i.  RECORD

                    SUBJLCT:   Relations with .anolo RAY and *he MRP



                        .  For background see my memorandum   of 14 May 1961, reorting on
                    my long session with Manolo RAY, Rogelio CIVNEROS (Eugenio) and Ernesto
                    BETANCOURT. As will be noted   in that nernorandun, NAanolo promised to
                    come up with a prospectus within approximately tns4ays' time, aftercon-
                    suiting with his leaders in Cuba.

                        2. On I June 1961 1-r. Barne. called me to say that Mr. Goodwin had
                    been visited by Mr. Ernesto BETANCOURT  who asked for inediate financial
                    suoport for certain activities of the MRP which would run around $10, 0QU
                    dollars. Mr. Barnes asked me to contact ELTANCOURT   for the purpose of
                    ascertaining what the funds were to be used for, exactly how much nzeded, etc.
                    I.called DETANCOURT  and he told me that I should get these details from
                    CISNEROS  (Eugenio), who was staytng at room 549 at the Washington Hotal.
                    I called Eugenio and made a date for me and Ray DuBolo (Ray Adams is the
                    name he uses with Ray and Cisneros) to call upon him. We called onx CISNJEROS
                    at approximately 18i5 hours I June, and he informed us that he had urgent
                    need for pesos for use In support of his sabotage and underground vtie
                    in Cuba. He said his people were absolutely without funds, needed money for
                    living expenses, transportanon.purchase of sabotage equipment, air iares for
                    courie*s, and for assisting ?eople to get out of priaon. He zaid that it was
                    now posaible for people to buy their way out of prison by bribing one of the
                    many  communist   lawyers adjudges.  He thought that 4u, U0 or 50, Q00
                    would meet immediate needs and that some sort of arrangement should be mado
                    to receive funds - 13, 000 monthly or thereabouts - on a fixcd and permanent
                    basis.

                       1.  We  rade no commitment to Eug-nto other than to say that we would
                   pass his plea along to the interested :eople. I reniaded him that we had asked
                   him and Manolo to pre,,are a plan for consideration aind that we were still
                   waiting for that plan. I said I personally doubted that anything could 1'e done
                   until the plan was received fromn RAY. He *aid uLanolo was planning to come to
                   Washington on the afternoon of 2 June with the plan, but that he himself was
                   having to return to Miami immediately and it was vital he be able to take the
                   money  with im, aranage in  i    or          C of the p.sos (at raof 1 ) -
