For background see my memorandum of 14 M'ay !961, reorting on ay long session with Manolo RAY, Rogelio CIFNEROS (Eugenio) and Ernesto BETANCOURT. As will be noted in that memorandum, Manolo promised to come up wimt a prospectus withn approximately ten days' time, alter con- sulting with his leaders in Cuba. Z.
