                          (This fol@NW l& 1 YseDI1'0  Material extracted
                          from CIA---controlled documents.)

                When  he first came into prominence as a Cuban exile

           leader, Manuel  Ray Rivero was described as softspoken  and

           unassuming,  a person of highest intellect, sincerity  and

           conviction  -- in other words, a natural leader.   In  1947

           the 23-year old  Ray was granted a scholarship by the Cuban

           Ministry of Public  Works to study civil engineering at  the
                               2
           University of  Utah.   Ray was in the United States for  two

           years before returning  to his native Cuba in 1949 and

           obtaining various  positions in the engineering field, one of

           which was project  manager for the construction of the
                                3
           Havana Hilton Hotel.

                Reacting  to the excesses of the milLtary-Lale o               /

           Fulgencio Batista,  Ray organized the Civic Resistance Movement

           in 1957 and began  supervising sabotage and acts of  terrorism
                                   4
           against the government.    His political posture and zctive

           resistance to Batista  was recognized by Fidel Castro who,

           upon assuming  control of the government of Cuba, appointed

           Ray his minister  of Public Works in February  1959-  Within a

           few months of his  appointment, Ra'y confided to two ati-Castro

           Cubans that he  had recognized the symptoms of Commursm- in

           the Castro regime  but was not prepared  to conspire Eaainst
