ANTI-FIDEL CASTRO ACTIVITIES INTERNAL SECURITY - CUBA

On February 21, 1963, a confidential informant, who has furnished reliable information in the past, advised that he had learned that Carlos Alejos, Guatemalan Ambassador to the United States, had contacted Miguel Ydigoras-Fuentes for the purpose of advising him that Jose Miro Cardona, President of the Cuban Revolutionary Council, an organization opposed to Fidel Castro, Cuban Prime Minister, had apologized for not keeping an appointment he had been granted with Ydigoras-Fuentes. Cardona stated that he had been extremely impressed with what Ydigoras-Fuentes had done for Cuba and told Alejos that those individuals who had said that Ydigoras- Fuentes had to be removed had already been expelled from Cardona's group. Ydigoras-Fuentes commented that the meeting Cardona had missed was a meeting of all important Cuban leaders who went to Guatemala to sign an agreement. Alejos indicated that Cardona wished to see Ydigoras-Fuentes in order to relieve any misunderstanding and Ydigoras-Fuentes agreed to see Cardona anytime he would come to Guatemala. He instructed Alejos to issue Cardona a visa at his request.

The position of Carlos Alejos was verified through the "Diplomatic List" dated November, 1962, published by the United States Department of State.

Miguel Ydigoras-Fuentes is the President of Guatemala.
