TO Chief, Mir -- �
Suggested Indirect
-Subject:/ Action against Denoncia ---------
�- -,��-.._ -,�
1. The attached reports from AMCArTTER/1 indicate that
Pedro Leyva, allegedly a paid employee of AMDUD, is the brains
behind an anti-Datista publication named Denuncia, and that
AMWD/1 took the trouble to state to AMIliTTER/1 that'he; AM1iVD/1;---
_ _ _ . . . _ _ _ � _
had nothing to do with the paper.
2. AMPUD/lis eoncermr-on the matter may have stemmed
;
-from the fact that on page 8 of the 17 October issue of Penuncia--
there was an axxeseavat article which exposed IMarektavibmirwryt -
41.1041, Darquer and Joaquin Sanjenis as agents of the CIA.
----------
3. Concerned case officers in PW and FI Sectionsa_as well
as Chief PM, who is preturbed.about the mention in the same para-
graph of Manuel Villanfana, feel that if it can be ascertained
that an employee of AMID is connected with Denuncia, his pay
. _
should be terminated summarily as an example to anyone elsa
_ _ _ _ _ . . _ _ _ _ _ _ - - - -- � --
who might trg decide that such activity will be countenanced
by OOYOKE.
4. It is suggested, therefore, that the matter be taken up
with AMMO/1 soonest, and that a thorough investigation be made
by AMBUD-of the alleged extra-curricular activities of Leyva,
and if results confirm suspicions, his services be terminated.

visited him on several occasions, requesting economical aid, he had
not given him any assistance.
Dr. Nir6 spoke on other Falbjects, specially in reference to his
desire that all factions of the 20th. of May, reunite and 'enter the
Council. On questioning him al to which per_sOn-ality of the diferent
factions he desirPd to represent the Organiaition, he stated that
he would give his hacking to n mln named Marino, explaining he desi�
red to hive a colored personnlity in the CRC setup. Mnrifto, he said,

co with Fernandez Badge (Lucas):, he had found that impossible to do,.
adding that it would be easier to get Lucas together.with the rest of.
