      Headquarters 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 Direccion  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 individual  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
