Claims membership of former and present members of Rebel Army and militia.  MRP feared FAL, as the FAL too interested in knowing about other organizations, and in June 63 MRP was attempting to arrange test.

FAL was active in planned August "uprising", and any legitimate members were doubtless rounded up.  GOC [Gov of Cuba] claimed six FAL members were executed as a result.
