Source is a trained reporter and his information has been reliable in the past. On 1 March 1965 Manuel Ray Rivero, leader of the Junta Revolucionaria Cubana (JURE, Cuban Revolutionary Junta), said that he and his group have no plans for action against Cuba at the present time. He and his group, according to Ray, have changed their plans completely with regard to the fight against Communism in Cuba. Ray believes that it would be almost impossible to use guerrilla tactics during the Castro régime; for this reason, he believes it would be preferable to begin operating clandestinely in the large urban centers and then slowly expanding operations to the rural areas of Cuba.
