11/23/60: Dispatch from COS, Spain to Chief, WE (Info: Chief, WHD): "1. On 15 November 1960 QUANTUM/30 gave the Station a copy of the report, forwarded under separate cover, which was made by the two Spanish Government representatives sent to Miami in late October to meet with representatives of anti-Castro exile groups there. Their main contact was with Manuel Artime Buesa, leader of the Movimiento de Recuperacion Revolucionaria (MRR). The report deals with the formation and status of the Cuban resistance groups and alleged degree of ODYOKE cooperation and support of their activities. 2...ODYOKE plans, the QUANTUM representatives were told, envision Artime as the political-military leader of the future liberation of Cuba and photographs of him have been prepared for world-wide distribution to popularize him as the liberation leader when the uprising against Castro occurs. 3. ODYOKE aid and instructions for resistance groups inside Cuba are filtered through one 'Francisco,' former ACU member and close friend and collaborator of Artime who acts as the coordinator of clandestine FRD operations in Cuba (Handwritten note: Gonzalez Corzo, Rogelio [now dead]). The QUANTUM representatives examined a report, received in Miami in early November, which was sent by 'Francisco' and which outlined his plans for resistance operations. The report was submitted for the approval of ODYOKE personnel working with the Cubans. (Handwritten note at bottom of page: The Spanish Government reps were Henengildo Garcia Norenta (sp) and Pablo la Fuerte Palay (sp). See CSCI." - - - Page 2: ..."7. It is not known at this time what plans if any the Spanish government may have for continued liaison with Cuban resistance groups, or whether they anticipate lending more concrete support other than the moral support already implied by their consenting to send this initial mission. QUANTUM-30 has indicated that there is no present plan for personnel support." (CONTINUED BELOW)
