Documents / FOIA release
This Central Intelligence Agency dossier on Cuban exile leader Manuel Ray Rivero was released in 2023 under the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Act. It contains biographical sketches of Ray as Castro's Minister of Public Works and later leader of the MRP and JURE, a 1965 report on his views of anti-Castro tactics, a Spanish report on his 1965 Madrid visit, and 1977 cables answering an FBI request. Those cables note he was declared persona non grata in Jamaica in December 1976.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD SUBJECT: Manolo Ray I talked to AMBADGER at 0800 (Home 766-3337) and told him that both "The Eagle" (Williamson) and I agreed that our position was firm. We would not give Manolo REY any support or assistance until he cooperated with us fully by giving us the names of his sources. I told AMBADGER that he should be firm with REY and likened it to a blind date, i.e., it could be a beautiful romance if both sides cooperated but it would be a very bad date if he wanted it to be a one sided affair. AMBADGER is having lunch with REY this afternoon and will write me the results by airmail. B. M. Mukham Harry Mahoney
