1.   In addition to the-ordinary telephone system-in Havana, there is-
     a government telephone system which uses the exchange name PIZARRA,
     connecting all off ices of government organizations and government-
     sponsored enterprises.  Each government office or enterprise has
     at- least one PIZARRA telephone which is distinct- from the resular
     telephone system.  In tht-Diro-cion Gc-neral do Inteligencia
     (General Directorate of Intelligencey - DG) Headquarters, there
     Is a PIZARRA telephone controlled by Maruel P19EIRO Losada's
     secretary, Vidalina, who works in M building.  If any member
     of the DGI wishes to call anyone on -sensitive business through
     the- PIZARRA exchange, he may either state his requirements to.
     Vidalina, who wl11 make the sa1l for him and report 'the informa-
     tion back when she has acquired it, or go to M building and
     make the call himself on the PIZARRA telephone.  With dhe exception
     of POIEIRO's residence and offic-, where he has his own PIZARRA
     telephone, no other DOI office has a PIZARRA telephone.  There is
     no directory for PIZARRA numbers ard it is not a dial system, but
     works through a central switchboard with operators; it is con-,
     sidered secure. The caller  picks up the telephone and gets an
     operator on the central PIZARRA switchboard; the caller asks for
     the office to whichfhe %Jshes to speak, an&.1i  he knows, asks for-
     the person to whom he wishts to speak. A DGI officer whose office
     f snout  5     A,dbui         jill ato M building on  the regular
2.  Each DGI office has a number of private,(as opposed  to PIZARRA)
    telephones.  In the Departamento d6 Liberacion Nacional  (National
    Liberation Department - LN), cutside the M building headquarters,
    for example, there are six telephones.  -From these telephones one
    dials any number in the telephone directory, private or a govern-
    ment office number, direct.  For internal calls within the DGI,
                                                                       5
