II. HISTORY
RAY has been working on unity since pulled faction out MRP in mid
1961. Held interviews with refugee leaders Miami in effort have
them dissolve their respective movements and integrate into JURE.
Concentrated on groups that splintered from 26 July Movement such as
MRP, UR, MRRC, MRTN, MAPA, and SFNE. Relatively
unsuccessful. Majority nor mentioned groups denounced RAY's
activities. 16 Sept. meeting in Puerto Rico officially creating
JURE attended by over 100 exiles, but mostly relatively unknowns.
Members of some larger anti-CASTRO groups participated as individuals.
III. CURRENT STATUS
Ray's failure get desired support of Cuban exile community set back his
plan to represent himself as Cuban exile leader. Failure due in
part to fact he and his associates considered by many to still
represent "fidelismo sin Fidel" and also due to opposition to his non
U. S. intervention policy RAY continuing to work for larger
representation. Currently negotiating with former Rebel Army
military group and labor union factions. Some JURE leaders feel
they should conduct an ALPHA-66 raid in near future in order to
boost. JURE prestige. Only apparent achievement so far is
creation of further confusion and disunity within Cuban exile
community.
