                       MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

                       SUBJECT:  Manolo RAY


                            1.  On 31 December 1964 I tried to phone RAY at
                       767-6138 in San Juan, Puerto Rico.  He was not at home
                       and I left a message for him to call Carlos Andrews
                       (Charles Anderson) at 628-1899 in Washington between
                       -1200 and 1400 on 1 January 1965.

                            2.  He phoned promptly at noon on 1 January (collect).
                       I advised him that Andrews was not here, but that I was
                       acting in his stead.  I did not give RAY a name during
                       this conversation.

                            3.  1 said that I had.replies to the three questions
                      he  had put to Andrews as follows:

                                A.  If the U.S. Government is asked by a
                            friendly government for an opinion as to whether
                            it should import arms from the U.S. for RAY's
                            benefit, we would reply that our position is one
                            of neutrality.  If requested to give an opinion
                            of RAY, we would reply that we consider him to
                            be a serious individual of sound ideology.  RAY
                            said that this was not all he wanted, but felt
                            it would be adequate.  I said that the fact that
                            he has a commitment from us to permit the legal
                            fiction of the arms export on his behalf is
                            probably the best argument he can offer any
                            friendly government.  I pointed out we could go
                            no further than being neutral concerning the act
                            of exportation because se would not want to apply
                            any implicit or explicit pressure on a -friendly
                            government in this matter, since we feel that it
                            must judge the matter in terms of its own policies
                            and national interests.
