Report # DD-742, C-4, 20 Mar 64 (cont.)

Answer: ARTIME gave the following answer: "If they go to Cuba, my God be with them. But I hope it won't be a demagogic action in which men will die to give prestige to others. Let me tell you that we don't make public what we do or plan to do. Some people want publicity for their actions; but we put the liberation of Cuba before publicity."

Comments: In the reporting agent's opinion, nothing new was said in this public appearance. The "presentation of credentials" was already too well known to the audience. The only thing which called attention was his clear position of opposing any maneuver to try to impose a "liberation without Fidel" which the majority of the audience interpreted as meaning Manuel RAY Rivero. Even though ARTIME did not name RAY, his implications were quite clear the same as the look on his face when he was asked something in connection with JURE.
