SECOND NATIONAL FRONT OF ESCAMBRAY (OPERATION ALPHA 66)

The first known activity of "Alpha 66" (A-66) in Los Angeles was a hastily prepared press conference at its newly opened headquarters et 164 Glendale Boulevard, Los Angeles , on April 18, 1963 . This was attended by about 40 Cuban exiles and three reporcers, and v~as directed by RENE \TP_LDES, who referred to himself as the local 11 cell leader11 of A-66. VALDES criticized the Administration for frustrating the efforts of Cuban refugees to rid their country of the regime of FIDEL CASTRO.

VALDES was interviewed by .TOM DUGGAN on the latter's television show on April 25 , 1963. VALDES told of raids on Cuba, but said they were not launched from within the United States .

A public meeting sponsored by A-66 was held in Los Angeles on May 19, 1963 . ANDRES SARGEN, the General Secretary of A-66 in Miami , presented a t ape - recorded speech of ANTONIO VECIANA, General Co-ordinator of the organization in rlliami .

SARGEN visited the FBI Office in Los Angeles on May .29 , 1963 a nd said he had learned that RENE VALDES, the local repres entati ve of A- 66, had bee n connected with the July 26 Movement (J26M) and was possibly a "G-2 Agent" with the Cuban Government.

The J 26M is a r evolutionary organization, founde d and led by FIDEL CASTRO, the present Prime Minister of Cuba. It was dissolved in · late 1962 , when it ~>Tas absorbed tnto the

On December 18, 1963, ALFREDO RONDON, Delegate of A-66 in Los Angeles, held a press co~ference in which he said plans were completed for a revolutlonary invasion of Cuba coordinated with internal upri~i~g,A~~6Ma~~~E !~~4MRP, and that the revolution would be ~ j y ELOY,GUT1IERREZ and the operation v1ould be led by .a or ~ MENOYO, then in Miami.

Integrated Revolutionary Organization in Cuba, along with the Communist Party of Cuba and the other principal political parties.

RENE VALDES stated on June 22, 1963, that he had been visited at his residence by two local members of the Second National Front of Escambray (SNFE) - Alpha 66. These men said it was known by them that inquiries had been made about VALDES in the past, supposedly because he was a communist. VALDES said he visited Miami in December, 1962 and met ANTONIO VECIANA, leader of A-66. VECIANA appointed VALDES as General Delegate of A-66 in Los Angeles, and the le~ter of appointment bore no mention of SNFE. VALDES developed an organization of 17 members just before the meeting of May 19, 1963, at which VECIANA 1-1as to speak. Instead, SARGEN came. VALDES had read of the merger of SNFE and A-66, and added the name of SNFE to the window of the headquarters. SARGEN criticized VALDES for placing A-66 in the forefront and relegating SNFE to a minor role, and said A-66 was only a "front" for the SNFE. VALDES then wrote to VECIANA and asked him if A-66 existed or was a front for the organization, and received a reply from VECIANA saying it was desired that VALDES relinquish his position as General Delegate in favor of MANOLO MESA. VALDES learned from TIRSO DEL JUNCO that VECIANA had split with almost the entire membership of A-66 and had gone over to SNFE, taking the name A-66 with him.

In September, 1963 , SARGEN, as Organizational Secretary of Second National Front of Escambray (SNFE) sent a letter to ALFREDO RONDON at the Los Angeles headquarters of SNFE, A-66 and the Movimiento Revolucionario del Pueblo (MRP). This letter consisted of instructions~~ how to conduct training of men for a specialized reserve brigade in various types of guerrilla warfare.

ELOY GUTIERREZ MENOYO came to Los Angeles October 11, 1963, and appeared at a public meeting of the Los Angeles delegation o~ A-66. He announced that the organization lY.ould be in Cuba in less than six months.

Uniformly these sources expressed astonishment that any serious thinking Cuban exile or sroup of exiles would advocate, assist in, or entertain any thoughts of auch a plan as it would undoubtedly have more probability of bringing about -unfavorable, re-strictive action by the United States against Cuban exile groups in the United States rather than bring action against CASTRO'• Communist government •

~errez Menoyo had stated on l would happen that would advance

• On 12/6/63, Dora Causa Ramirez, 232 N.E. 27th Street, ~ami, adv~sed that 1n regards to the above statement, 1t was her op1n1on that th~s 1nformat1on related to a plan of the group of Gut1errez to carry·out mil1tary action aga1nst the commun1st government of Cuba, and 1n no way related to the assassination of President Kennedy. She stated that she was unable to recall who told her about the possible action on the part of the Gut~errez group. Causa also mentioned that she had a niece, not a sister, who was marr1ed to Rafael Dominguez Caballero, a member of Gutierrez's group, but that this was not the source of ~he above-mentioned rumor.

Subject of the file was "Assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, November 22, 1963, Dallas, Texas" (62-109060).

RE DORA CAUSA

Another Government Agency which conducts intelligence and personnel investigations, advised that one of their sources had stated that he had heard one DORA CAUSA relate that ELOY GUTIERREZ MENOYO had stated on November 21, 1963, that "something ·very big would happen soon that ~.;rould advance the · Cuban cause." It was also stated that CAUSA's sister was married to RAFAEL DOMINGUEZ ,CABALLERO, a member of the Se cond National Front of Escambray, the anti-CASTRO Cuban Organization of which GUTIERREZ MENOYO is chief.

On December 6, 1963, DORA CAUSA RAMIREZ, Apartment 2, 232 N. E. 27th Street, Miami, Florida, was located and interviewed by Special Agent l.J'ILLIAM M. DREW.

CAUSA was employe d at Matilda's Grocery, 2718 N. E. 2nd Avenue, Miami, ·Flor ida . CAUSA stated that she recalled making the rema rk in question, but that it is her opinion that this information related to a plan of the group of GUTIERREZ MENOYO to carry out the military action against the Communist Government of Cuba, and in no ~vay related .to the assassination of President KENNEDY.

~~USA said that with Cubans coming to the store and talking among themselves as weQl as with h er, she heard various rumors regarding the Cuban situation. She stated that she wa s unable to recall ~vho told her

.about the possible action on the part of the GUTIERREZ 1

~MENOYO Group. CAUSA also mentioned that she h a s a niece,~

?7 /j

not a sister, who is married to RAFAEL DOMI NGUEZ CABALLERO, a member of MENOYO's group, but that this was not the source of the rumor regarding the pos sible a ction by the organization of GUTIERREZ .MENOYO. CAUSA stated that she had absolutely no in for ma tion regarding the assassination of President KENNEDY.

Howard, who said he was n States Army in Korea,

said he had been training guerrillas at a camp located on an iSolated island in thO !eye, and had been arrested in December. 1962 and charged with a violation of the Neutrality Act 1 but that his ease had been dismissed on the ground his activities which were thought to constitute the violation were merely "part ot the training program." He said that the instructors at the camp were mostly Americans and that the trainees were CUban refugees sent down by various organizations 1n Miami tor training. He added that he intended to return soon to Florid& to continue his activities. When he remarked "Even 1n the event I had (participated in any raids agai.nst CUba) ••• and I 1m not saying I haven't," he pointed out that when the charges

death. While the authors of these rumors have not been pinpointed, it is becoming evident that these rumors are directed primarily at provoking strong US action against Cuba.
