                           Service until  April 1964.


                       1.  In addition  to the ordinary  telephone sy!tem  in Havana, there  is
                           a government  telephone system  which usts the exchange  name PIZARRA,
                           connecting all  offices of government  organizations  and government-
                           sponsored enterprisos.   Each' goverrn.ment office or enterprise has
                           at least ono PIZARRA  tclcph'-   which is distinct  from the regular
                           telephone system.   In th< Dire-:.ion General de  Inteligencia
                           (General birectorate  of Intlligence   - DGi) Headquarters,  there
                           is a PIZARPA  telhphone controlled  by Manuel PIKEIRO  Losada's X
                           secretary, Vidalina   who works  in M building.   If any member
                           'of the DGI wishes .td call anyone on sensitive business  through
                           the PI'LARP.A exchange, .he -ay cither state his requirements to
                           Vidalina, who will  make Lb:, -all for hirt and report the informa-
                           tion back when she  has acquired  it, or go to M building  and
                           make the call himself  or, tree P!ZARRA telephone. With the exception
                           of PP7EIRO's reside-nce and office,  where he has his own  PIZARRA
                           telephone, rc other  DGI office has  a PIZARRA telephone.   There is.
                           no directory for PIZARRA  numbrs  and  it is not a dial  system, but
                           works through a central  switchboard with  operators;  it is con-
                           sidered secure.  The  caller picks up  the telephone and geta  an
                           operator on the central  PIZARRA switchboard;  the caller  asks for
                           the office to which he  wrl  s to s;:eak, and-, if he knows, asks for
                           the person to whom he wis.:.  to speak.  A DOI  officer whose  office
                           13 out ids  f M build  ;r nv  sill into M  building on  the regular
                           line (23 -255) and ask  icT Vdaiina.
                      2.  Each DGI office  has a number  of private  (as opposed to PIZARRA)
                          telephones.   In the Departar'-nto de Liberacion  Nacional  (National
                          Liberation Department  - LN),  outside the M  building headquarters,
                          for example,  there are: six telephones.  From  these telephones  one
                          dials any number  in the  telephone directory,  private or a govern-
               s          ment -office number, direct.   For internal calls  within the DGI,     5
