         SUBJECT -           : Activities of. Nunez Pertouondo.
                                and Rudolf FernandRne_.



                   1. On 4,November  Mr. J. Patrick Coyne, Staff Director of
         the President&s Boaxrd of Consultants on Foreign Intaligce Activities,
         brqught.to see me Mr. Charles Murphy. foanexly personal a iotat, to
         Preeident .Txuman, and Mr -H  Graham Mio      .frderly wit the
         Department. of.Justice, who are now-partners inthe ftan of Morison,
         Murphy,  Glapp: & Abrans. Goyne- left these gittleme. WUh -eand they
         proc eded to tell me of %discuasions they havebeen tuing vith
         Dr..N 1nei! Portcwondo.and Rudol Fernanden .Thesb Cubans were;
         apparently put in.touch with Morison througka mutual friend, Mr. Gillespie,
         President of Dixie Industries Corporation in Atlanta, Georgia.
         Fernandes Is reported to be a. resient of Teapa Florida. and Atlanta
         where hkno.Gil espe. (Appariently   E_(7 5~    as benk  fairly active     (L
         rorce  .o thesF'loin Atlanta, and states that ae has given them many
         reports on activities in Cuba by theua ti-Castro Undergreand. These
         include a report 'Vhich the FBI has disseminated, according to Murphy,
         that a colonel in:the MVD (as reported) was still active in Cuba. -)

                  2.  The proposition that the Cubana.ha ve put-tothese Washington
         lawyers is to the effect that they would like assurance that the United
         States Government-will not intervene should they succeed in mounting a
         militaiy exjiedition in Guatemnala to proceed to Cuba to attempt to over-
         throw the Castro regime. Apparently Portouondd-has sfreased the fact
         that thy' EiU not abuse the hospitalitV of the United States, and will stage
         Iall of their operations outside of this country. He alleges that he has the
         support of several other Latin American countries, and that there are a
         considerable number of Cuban exiles who will respond to his initiative.
         Among  those mentioned were fnu Martinez in Florida and Gen. Tabernilla
         in the Dominican Republic. , According to Portouondo, if something is
         not done soon about the situation in Cuba, the government will be corn-
         pletely under Communist control within a few months. lie alleges that
         there axe ZOO. Russians and 300 Chnese actively at work organizing the
         Communists  in Cuba. The questi4  aput to me by Mesara. Murphy.and
         Morison was what should they do f    biing, with Portouondo; should
         they agree to represent him and, it so, should they register as represent-
         Lg foreign interests and request .hts*uch registration be kept confidential?
