            faction operating in Cuba was lead by Pepin Fernandez Badue

            who used the alias Lucas. (Ibid) When Fernandez arrived in

            the U.S. in October 1961, he presented his credentials to the

            infiltration attempts of the MDC (HSCA #009303, FBI #97-4623-149,

            Section V) which made this one of the most active and effective
