Subject: Report from our collaborator through direct observation.
Following is a literal transcription of the report from our collaborator:
At 3:30 PM, 18 Mar 64, the A.N.S.C. Recording Secretary, Ignacio Castro, read the minutes of the preceding A.N.S.C. session in the conference room of the Everglades Hotel, Miami. The minutes were unanimously accepted by the A.N.S.C. members present.
Paul Ernest, A.N.S.C. President, announced that the agenda included Dr. Ernest Barnes as guest speaker at 4 PM. Then the stand was taken by Gerardo Ramos who gave a detailed report on the experiences of the newspaperman John Cole (I am not sure of his patronymic because I only heard it spoken), from Life magazine, on his trips around the world.
At 3:55 PM Paul Ernest announced that Dr. Barnes had just arrived and the audience gave him a standing ovation. It is estimated that there were about 500 persons in the audience.
According to Fernando Ramos, who is one of the most active members of A.N.S.C., this was the A.N.S.C. gathering ever attended by the largest number of persons because the normal audience is from 220 to 240 persons. The meeting was about 40 to 45 minutes of the A.N.S.C. in the audience, and they could be perfectly identified as such because they had the emblem of their organization in their buttonholes or their lapels.
Dr. Barnes began his speech by making a recount of his activities since what he called his "recruitment to A.N.S.C." He mentioned his period of readaptation to normal six months after the establishment of [Redacted].
[Redacted] Government, whose he said to create new enemies after things that should be placed on the industrialists, merchants and [Redacted] classes of the nation because when industry, commerce and all [Redacted] proceeds to the hands of the state that would be Communism. He read some paragraphs from the book which he published in exile prior to the Bay of Pigs invasion.
