SOURCE A former high-level Cuban official who was once active in the
revolutionary movement and a confidant of Fidel Castro. He has
always been anti-Communist and is now strongly anti-Castro. He
continues to maintain contact with many Cuban officials at all
levels of government. Source Las provided a limited number of
reports which appear to have been accurate,
1. Usually only a small number of members of the Venezuelan Armed
Forces of National Liberation (FALN) are being trained in Cuba
at one time. The Cubans train cadres around whom large groups
can be organized. Transportation is a serious problem when
large numbers of trainees are involved, especially when it is
-    necessary to travel via Prague.
2. Fidel Castro Ruz is against sending Cubans as guerrillas to
Venezuela or any other Latin American country.. Since being con-
demned by the Organization of American States Castro is more
   cautious; nevertheless he continues to support the FALN and other
revolutionary groups in Latin America.1 It is rumored that some
money and possibly arms are being channeled to the FALN through
Ben Bella and Algeria.

3. In early November German Lairet of the Venezuelan University
Students' Organization was en route to Havana via Prague. Lairet
planned to work in he FALN office across the street from the Fos
Building in Havana.
1. Field Comment. On the basis of conversations with different
Cuban Government officials Source gained the impression that
the FALN is possibly the primary recipient of Cuban support;
the prize for Castro is big, but the more important reason
for supporting the FALN is its fairly effective organization
which continues to operate in Venezuela.
