SOURM   A former high-level  Cuban official who was once active in the
        revolutionary movement  and a confidant of Fidel Castro,  He has
        always been anti-Communist  and is now strongly anti-Castroe  He
        Continues to maintain contact  with many Cuban officials at all
        levels of government,  Source bas  provided a limited number of
        reports which appear to have  been accurate.


    1b Usually only a small number of members of the Venezuelan Armed
       Forces  of National Liberation  (FALN) are being trained in Cuba
       at one  time.  The Cubans train cadres around whom  large groups
       can  be organized,  Transportation is a serious problem  when
       large  numbers of trainees are involved, especially when  it is
       necessary  to travel via Prague.

   2.  Fidel Castro  Ruz is against sending Cubans as guerrillas  to
       Venezuela or  any other Latin American country.. Since being  con-
       demned by the Organization  of American States Castro is more
       cautious; nevertheless  he continues to support the FALN and other
       revolutionary groups  in Latin American1  It is rumored that some
       money and possibly  arms are being channeled to the FALN through
       Ben Bella and Algeria.


El


 In early November German Lairet of the Venezuelan University
Students' Organization  was en route to Havana via Prague.  Lairet
planned to work  in Ihe FALN office across the street from the Fox
Building in Havana.'

1.  Field Comment,  On  the basis of conversations with different
    Cuban Go~vernment officials Source gained the impression that
    the FALN is possibly  the primary recipient of Cuban support;
    the prize for Castro  is big, but the more important reason
    for supporting the FALN  is its fairly effective organization,
    which continues to operate  in Venezuela.
