Will receive news. If made drop made want number of pack and chutes and total inventory. A lead to ground. Chance good for drop but no men. Union Revolucionaria only group with good organization. Am in contact with them. Try to make Chacho/AMCOAX-1/Jose Pujals Mederos join. Would be perfect setup. Hustling men will endanger all. Up to you." Handwritten note: The question being asked to "Jerry" is whether the UR should have representation within FRD.
