12/19/61, PASSAVOY Memo 120, "The Recognition of the Revolutionary Council of Cuba" - Strictly Confidential:..."The Frente, at the time of its birth, agreed with the Government of Washington (and its representation) in the form which the attached memorandums describe, an agreement or pact unwritten - regulating the established relations between both. These plans and initial efforts have developed into a state of war, which is proclaimed by thousands of dead, 50,000 prisoners and unspeakable suffering and anguish inside and outside of Cuba...in March (1960) in Miami Mr. Frank Bender representative of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) began preliminary conversations with (certain individuals) which developed on 12 May in the founding in New York of the Frente Revolucionario Democratico de Cuba...attended by Dr. Manuel A. de Varona, Justo Carrillo, Jose I. Rasco, Manuel Artime, Andreas Vargas Gomez, Pedro Martinez Fraga and with Ricardo Lorie...the executive committee established itself finally in Miami and with it here were established the various commissions (propaganda, planning, military, financial, etc.), operating parts of the Frente...Except for the MRR whose official representation participated in the founding of the Frente, all and each of the other organizations that have belonged to the Frente and now pertain to the Cuban Revolutionary Council, arose long after the 12th of March 1960. It should be observed that, in spite of the efforts and maneuvers carried out by well-known elements of the deposed Batista dictatorship, the FRD consistently closed its doors to these elements...(there was) a control system through the means of a subsidy unilaterally administrated which the CIA was exercising and did exercise over all and each of the various aspects, economic, political and military, of the war against Castro...very soon the economic control exercised by the Bender group...(was extended) to each of the functional activities of the Frente..."
