' Headquartcrs Comments

     The  following  report is one  of a series  containing  personality
     information   provided by the  source and  includes supplemental
     information   from the records  of this Agency.

     It  is requested.that  the addressees  take  no action on  any of
     the  individuals  mentioned  in the personality  reports  without
     first  checking  with this Agency.

          Upon further  questioning  of source, he  revealed that  the full
     name  of Armando,  subject of  the above .referenced report,  is Armando
     TORRES  Mesones,  alias El Frances.   He is  the curriculum  administra-
     tive  officer in  the Departamento  Escuelas Especiales   (Department of
     Special  Schools -  EE), responsible  for guerrilla  warfare  training,
     in the  Direecion General  de Inteligencia   (General Directorate  of
     Intelligence  - DGI).   Operations  officers  from the Departamento
     de Liberacion  Nacional  (National  Liberation  Department -LN)  of the
     DGI send  TORRES a statement  as  to what an individftal agent,  or
     groups  of agents,  is expected to  do upon returning  to his native
     country  and TORRES arranges  a training  schedule  which will prepare
     each  individual for, his assignment;  he decides  how many hours  of
     instruction  each trainee  will have  and in what  subjects.  In  addition,
     he arranges  the schedules  of the  instructors  in the various schools
     and handles  the overall  administration  for them.   TORRES does  not
     teach courses  himself  although he ranks  as the  chief instructor.   He
     works particularly  close  with the Venezuelan  desk  officers and  has
     relatively  less to do with  other LN  Department operations  officers.1
