SDIMA   A prominent Cuban exile who is a fairly reliable reporter and who
        retains some contacts in Cuba; from a former high-level Cuban
        official who was once active in the revolutionary movement and a
        confidant of Fidel Castro, but who is now anti-Castro. He con-
        tinues to maintain contacts with many Cuban officials at all
        levels of government.  Source has provided a limited number of'
        reports that appear to have been accurate,


1,


Cuban  Premier Fidel Castro Ruz has sent large amounts of money,
arms,  and ammunition 1  VTnezuela, and has also trained Venezuelans
In  Cuba.  With this money and arms, Castro has succeeded in split-
ting  the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV) to the extent that
Castro  now has more control over the PCV than the Soviet Union has,
Many  members of the PCV, following Fidel Castro's orders, have
taken  to the hills as guerrillas,  Castro is strongly supporting
and  has extended considerable aid to the Venezuelan Fuerzas
.Armadas de L.4beracion Nacional (FALN, Armed Forces of National
Liberation) ,4


2,  As of early January 1965 Castro was planning to concentrate an
    extensive effort against Nicaragua in the near future. Castro
    intends to raise the temperature in Nicaragua through guerrilla
    activity and a strong propaganda campaign against General Anastasio
    Somoza which Castro believes will cause the United States to force
    Somoza out.2  Once this is accomplished the Communists will be
    free to take over the country, using the same tactics as those
    utilized in Vietnam,
