   MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

   SUBJECT:  Manolo RAY


        1.  1 did not have the oppoitunity to discuss many Cuban
   problems with Manolo RAY during the period 4-13 June in both
   Sun Juan and Paris.  Our meetings were largely devoted to the
   effort of contacting and attempting to recruit or cause the
   defection of Carlos FRANQUI.  The following, however, are the
   conclusions of my brief effort to discuss the general situation
   with RAY.

        2.  Manolo RAY's Attitude Towards KIBARK: It has become
   obvious to me on this second meeting with Manolo RAY that:

            a.  RAY is convinced that the Agency had in the past
       purposely  and actively attempted to destroy him as a
       political  leader. In this connection, RAY feels that the
       Agency, following the Bay of Pigs invasion, was partially
       responsible for the break up of the MRP clandestine net-
       work and resistance potential in and out of Cuba.  RAY
       stated that he has proof of the participation of at least
       one KUBARK officer in a plot with certain MRP officials to
       remove him from the MRP as a condition for KUBARK's
       assistance to That organization.  RAY added that the
       officer in question has been fired.  He either did not
       know or could not recall the individual's name or pre-
       ferred not to mention it.

           b.  On the strength and position of the State White
       Paper on Cuba prior to the Bay of Pigs, RAY's MRP joined
j 2'   the FRD (later the CRC). While his organization was a
       member of the FRD, the attention if [UBARC and the U. S.
       Government was called time a-ad time again .by the FRD
       and by the MRP to the infiltration and us*of notorious
       Batistianes in atti-Castro activities. D  rsite these
       warnings xowthinR rs dose toeac0wthese eople,
       giving RAY to feel that we       did not mnow what we
       were .doing or that our purp   were setrfse.vinr-
