                                                      -2 RE T

                                                               19 June 1963


                             MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

                             SUBJECT:  Manolo RAY


                                  1.  1 did not have the oppoitunity to discuss many Cuban
                             problems with Manolo RAY during the period 4-13 June in both
                             Sun Juan and Paris.  Our meetings were largely devoted to the
                             effort of contacting and attempting to recruit or cause the
                             defection of Carlos FRANQUI. The  following, however are the
                             conclusions of my brief effort to discuss the general situation
                             with RAY.

                                 2.  Manolo RAY's Attitude Towards KIARK:   It has become
                            obvious to me on this second meeting with Manolo RAY that:

                                     a.  RAY is convinced that the Agency had in the past
                                 purposely and actively attempted to destroy him as a
                                 political leader.  In this connection, RAY feels that the
                                 Agency, following the Bay of Pigs invasion, was partially
                                 responsible for the break up of the MRP clandestine net-
                                 work and resistance potential in and out of Cuba.  RAY
                                 stated that he has proof of the participation of at least
                                 one KUBARK officer in a plot with certain KRP officials to
                                 remove him from the MRP as a condition for KUBARK's
                                 assistance to that organization.  RAY added that the
                                 officer in question has been fired.  He either did not
                                 know or could not recall the individual's name or pre-
                                 ferred not to mention it.

                                    b.  On the strength  and position of the State White
                                Paper on Cuba prior t-o the Bay of Pigs, RAY's MRP joined
                                the FRD  (later the CRCX. While his organization was a
                                member of the FRD -the attention if [UBARI and the U. S.
                                Government was cahed  time and time again, by the FRD
                                and by the MRP to the infiltration and u,, of notorious
