TON FILE IN THE CIA LIBRARY is a copy, in Spanish, of the Frente Interno de, Unidad Revolucionaria - FIUR.] 1. A Cuban exile, Julio V. Leal, residing at 4823 East 8th Court, Hialeah, Florida, claims to be the US Delegate of the "Cuban Government in Arms": He also claims that he received a copy of a proclamation prepared by members of the FIUR, in Cuba, and was authorized to release it to publicity sources. He provided me with a copy of the FIUR declaration. [See On File Material.) 2. On 25 Apr 63 Leal furnished me with a copy of a document, in Spanish, which showed the appointments to executive and cabinet posts of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Cuba in Arms. The names are: President To be announced at a later date for reasons of security. Vice-President Dr Gustavo Cuerve Rubio Premier Dr Jose Manuel Gutierrez Secretary to the President To be announced at a leter date.

The following individuals have been named Ministers without portfolio and subsecretaries: Vaal REC-54 105 121229 Jose Ignacio Rivero Humberte Medrano. MCT-3 Manuel Reyes 11 JUN5 1903- Jorge Castellanos Fermin Peinado Lauraeano/Batista Falla Melchor Gaston F23 Agusto Fernandez Conde Manuel Fernandez Juan Manuel Salvat Enrique Huertas 67 JUN 13-1963 Designated Ambassador to Washington - Dr Guillermo Belt OAS Delegate Dr Herminio Portell Wila 3. I doubt that Leal has been designated as the US representative for FIUR, and do not believe that the documents he gave me originated in Cuba. I suspect that another group of exiled Cuban politicians wrote the document in the US, and are trying to get national publicity in publicity in order to get support. I have recently heard that Eloy Gutierrez menoyo has been added to the list of Cabinet appointments. I doubt very much that Gutierrez and Ray would be fully accepted by the majority of Cubans in exile. CUBA -end-
