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.
