CIA File on Ray, Manuel

bother but not necessarily with the Subject. Further there is no firm evidence that Jorge is against the present regime in Cuba. Aldo SANTAMARIA, Chief of the Cuban Navy, in another possible contact. Again, other than some unsupported allegations there is no independent firm evidence that SANTAMARIA is anti-regime.

5. The Subject also claimed in Madrid that Jose LLANUSA Gobel Minister of Education and leader of the Cuban delegation to the Tenth Games, had sent him a message and that he was considered a potential ally. He explained this in San Juan by saying that during a press conference his name had been mentioned and that LLANUSA replied that he considered the Subject to be his friend. The Subject rationalized that if LLANUSA had not wanted to indicate in some way that he was 'with' the Subject he would have taken this opportunity to blast him.

4. I debriefed the Subject on his Madrid trip and intentions generally before I introduced him to AMBADGER/1. I had first asked him if he would mind reporting to us via a trusted Cuban exile now living in San Juan and, after I had identified AMBADGER/1, he replied that he knew him and respected and liked him. The three of us had a meeting and it was agreed that the Subject would keep AMBADGER/1 completely informed of his plans and that AMBADGER/1 would convey them to me in Washington. The Subject refused to reveal the identities of his agents inside Cuba despite strong pressure. He also stated that Emilio GUEDE and Arturo VILLAR would have to know about his arrangement with AMBADGER/1 and with CIA. GUEDE and VILLAR, together with the Subject, are the triumvirate of the JURE.
