SOURM   A former Cuban  IS officer who served  with the Cuban Intelligence
        Service until April  1964.


1.   In addition  to the ordinary telephone  system in Havana, there  is
     a government  telephone system which  uses the exchange name  PIZARRA,
     connecting all  offices of government organizations  and government-
     sponsored enterprises.   Each government  office or enterprise  has
     at least one PIZARRA  telephone which  is distinct from the regular
     telephone system.   In the Direzcion G'neral  de Intoligencia
     (General Dircctorate  of Intelligenc7 - DGI)  Headquarters, there
     I- a PIZARRA telephone  controlled by Manuel  PIEIRO  Losada's
     secretary, Vidalina,  who works in M building.   If any member
     of the DGI wishes  to call anyone on sensitive  business through
     the PIZAiRA exchang.e, he may either state  his requirements to
     Vidalina, who wl1  make  the :all 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 the exception
     of PIAEIR1O's residence ani 6ffice, where he has  his own PIZARRA
     telephone, ano other DGI office has a PIZARRA  telephone.  There is
     no directory for PIZARRA  numbers and 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 contral PIZAPRA  switchboard; the caller  asks for
     the offloce to whichhe wishes  to speak, and, if he knows,  asks for
     the person to whcm hc wishes, to speak.  A DGI officer  whose office
     s on side  of M buildine ma   call into M building  on the regular
     line 2-2555)   and ask- 1o  Viainia.
2.  Each DGI  office has a number  of private (as opposed  to PIZARRA)
    telephones.   In the Departamento  de 14beracion Nacional  (National
    Liberation  Dzpartm.mnt - LN), outside the M building  headquarters,
    for example,  there are six telcphones.   From these telephones  one
    dials any  niumber in th telephone  directory, private or  a govern-
    ment office  number, direct.  For  internal calls within  the DGI,
                                                                          4
