            MEMORANDUM  FOR THE RECORD

            SUBJECT:   Manuel Artime


                 1. Artime  was an INRA official in the Castro  regime
            on  1959 but broke with it in late 1959 or early  1960 over
            a communist  issue and was exfiltrated by CIA.   le was the
            political  representative for Brigade 2506 and was captured
            during  the Bay of Pigs.  He was sentenced to be executed
            but  this was later commuted by Castro=to life imprisonment.
            In 1962 Artime  was released to the U.S. asspart of a
            prisoner  exchange.

                2.  From  June 1963 through April 1965 Artime conducted
            paramilitary  operations (Project AMWORLD) against Cuba
            under the political  banner of his exiled group, Movimiento
            de Recuperacion  Revolucionaria (MRR).  The Project expenses
            during this period  were approximately $7 million.  The
            support was  terminated effective 1 May 1965 but support  for
            political operations  was restored in June 1965 at the rate
            of $15,000 per  month.  This was scaled down to $5,000 a
            month in September  1965, to $3,000 a month in June 1966,  and
            terminated on  31 December 1966.  Artime accepted this
            termination  gracefully in a meeting on 13 January 1967.
            That ended  the formal operational relationship with Artime,
            although he maintained  informal contact  T'th CIA most
