Mexico, D. F., 15 January 1962
CARLOS FERNANDEZ TRUJILLO and Drs. ALDO FOREST and ROLANDO ROJAS, Directors of the Front mentioned above, have officially expressed today that it will stop functioning because it does not count on the economic means necessary, now that the subsidy that the Embassy of the United States had been giving them and that they basically depended on has been withdrawn.
Notwithstanding the above, the declarants affirmed that the members of the Front in question would continue to meet periodically to maintain a nucleus of resistance against Castro’s tyranny.
The Cuban Department of Industrialists and Tradesmen in exile [La Sección de Industriales y Comerciantes Cubanos en el Exilio] will continue to function as it has been doing until now, directed by AMADO ALVAREZ TORMO, in its offices on Mariano Escobedo No. 360-1, in this capital.
Respectfully
EL CORONEL D. E. X.
FEDERAL DIRECTOR OF SECURITY
