                     The following  report is one  of a series  containing personality
                     information  provided by the  source and includes  supplemental
                     information  from the records  of this Agency.

                     It is requested.that  the addressees  take no  action on any of
                     the individuals  mentioned in  the personality  reports without
                     first checking  with this Agency.

                         Upon further  questioning of  source, he revealed  that the  full
                     name of Armando,  subject of the  above .referenced report, is Armando
                     TORRES Mesones,  alias El Frances.   He is the  curriculum administra-
                     tive officer in  the Departamento  Escuelas Especiales  (Department  of
                     Special Schools  - EE), responsible  for guerrilla  warfare training,
                     in the Direecion General  de Inteligencia  (General, Directorate of
                     Intelligence - DGI).   Operations  officers from  the Departamento
                     de Liberacion Nacional  (National  Liberation Department  -LN) of the
                     DGI send TORRES a  statement as to  what an individual  agent, or
                     groups of agents,  is expected to do  upon returning  to his native
                     country and TORRES arranges  a training  schedule which  will prepare
                     each individual for, his assignment;  he decides how many  hours of
                     instruction each trainee  will have  and in what subjects.   In addition,
                     he arranges the schedules  of the instructors  in the  various schools
                     and handles the overall  administration  for them.  TORRES  does not
                     teach courses himself  although he ranks  as the chief  instructor.  He
                     works particularly close  with the Venezuelan  desk officers  and has
                     relatively less to do with  other LN Department  operations  officers.1
