It is noted MARI BRAS is called "JOHNNIE" by acquaintances in the independentist community. San Juan Office Analysis As is obvious from information from the CPC feels the cartoon emanated from the MPPR and represents an effort to maintain the NPPR as a separate organization due primarily to the ideological differences: between the NPPR and the leftist-communist groups, such as the "LSP, CPC and MPIPR Information furnished by points up a basic rift between the do nothing PCP and the rather dynamic MPIPR and the fact that the MPIPR feels the CPC is jealous of their successes. It is noted that the NPPR publication "El Intransigente" is a widely read organ throughout the independentist community, always selling out imediately after printing, and tin reproduction of the cartoon in "El Intransigente" had an unexpected double value in greatly expanding the circulation of the cartoon as well as pointing up the fact that the NPPR in כה we trusts JUAN NAPI BRAS and his unity efforts, and feels such efforts: are intended only for the purpose of seizing control of. the entire independentist community.. - 2- SJ. 105-3353 Sub 1 This past publication of the cartoon in "El Intransigente" will have additional long-range results and repercussion in the independentist community, and the San Juan Office, will be alert for such results. 3 SAC, San Juan (105-3353-Sub 1) Director, FBI (105-93124)-20~ ST-120 REC-57 GROUPS SEEKING INDEPENDENCE FOR PUERTO RICO COUNTERINTELLIGENCE PROGRAM (SUBVERSIVE CONTROL SECTION) 1/5/67 1 - Mr. DeLoach 1 - Mr. Sullivan 1 - Mr. 1- Mr. 1 - Mr. Reurlet 12/19/66.

At the top right, a phrase is written in cursive script that appears to read: "Puerto Rican". Below this, a numerical code "105-93124" is written, followed by "Sec 4 (153-203)". There are also two black circular punch holes on the left side of the page. The rest of the page is covered in a grainy texture, typical of scanned documents, with no other discernible visual elements like photographs, stamps, or forms. The document is a typed FBI memo with handwritten annotations and official stamps. It contains no photographs or visual evidence of surveillance operations. The typed text details the distribution of a cartoon to individuals associated with Puerto Rican independence groups. Handwritten additions include routing information, dates, and agent signatures. There are no visible redactions. The overall impression is of a standard administrative report rather than visual documentation of surveillance activities. UNRECORDED COPY FILED 100133522 SJ 105-3353 Sub-1 of [REDACTED] The favorable reference to JUAN MARI BRAS' exclusion and the unflattering description of attributed to MART BRAS are calculated to create additional friction between [REDACTED] and the MPIPR and may create a suspicion that the letter was actually written by the MPIPR in an effort to disrupt increasingly cordial relations between the NPPR and LSP. It is noted that [REDACTED] was [REDACTED] of the NPPR and second in command to PEDRO ALBIZU CAMPOS ("Don Pedro") when the latter dismissed him from the NPFR in 1973 because of his [REDACTED] communist activities. [REDACTED] around whose mystique the NFPR was constructed and who is revered almost as a saint, was a firm Catholic and adamant in barring communists from the "Party". (NPPR). It is therefore surprising that [REDACTED] has been able to reassert himself with the NPPR without apparent protest from "Albizuistas". This may be due to the fact that he does not appear at NPPR meetings but has thus far restricted himself to "guest" speaker roles at NFPR functions. At any rate, this letter should bring the issue into the open. The "Accion Patriotica" referred to in the letter is the Accion Patriotica Unitaria (APU) which slowly disintegrated following an internal struggle between [REDACTED] and anti- [REDACTED] for leadership. Sensing defeat communist [REDACTED], and his followers withdrew to in that struggle, form the LSP.

For several years he has deservedly seen an obscure figure but in recent months he has been a prominent speaker at Nationalist ceremonies. It seems that he is attempting one last time to wear the mantle of the beloved DON PEDRO, to whom he refers constantly in speeches and newspaper writings. He also has an endless fund of anecdotes linking himself to DON PEDRO in a manner most flattering to himself. How disgraceful! "Has it been forgotten that DON PEDRO personally dismissed [REDACTED] from the Party? Are we to dishonor the memory of DON, PEDRO by welcoming a communist to our platforms? And worse yet, has there not even been talk of merging the Party It seems that now that DON PEDRO is no longer [REDACTED] to deny him, may personally dismissed [REDACTED] from the Party?

"And there is no doubt that [REDACTED] will attempt to seize the leadership of the Party. Has he not fought for sole leadership and brought to ruin every organization with which he has been associated since his dismissal from the Party? Licen- ciado MARI BRAS has correctly observed this and will have nothing to do with [REDACTED] as extremely He has described [REDACTED] vain, more than [REDACTED] crazy and as [REDACTED] to independentist unity. While the Party has its own areas of dispute with MARI BRAS and the MPIFR, surely there can be no quarrel with the above description nor with the intelligent decision of MARI BRAS to exclude [REDACTED] completely from cooperation with the MPIFR.

It appears that the underlying reason for the reorganization of the New York junta of the Nationalist Party of Puerto Rico was to overcome the factionalism which has prevailed therein for a considerable period of time. As you are avare, a unified Nationalist Party of Puerto Rico junta in New York is undoubtedly much more dangerous than it has been in the past few years. You are, therefore, requested to devise suitable counterintelligence measures to cause dissension within the New York junta, and submit your recommendations to the Bureau for consideration.

Since its inception, the New York Junta was supposed to operate under the control and direction of the NPPR National Board, located in San Juan, Puerto Rico; however, on occasions, this did not work out in practice. On May 10, 1966, a second source furnished the following information: The New York Junta has approximately ten active members, but there are approximately 50 individuals in the New York City area who consider themselves Nationalists "at heart" and can be counted upon to attend New York Junta sponsored public functions. The New York Junta has the same aims and purposes as the NPPR parent organization, which are to establish Puerto Rico as a free and sovereign republic. The NPPR has proved by past terrorist acts that the use of violence to achieve its goal would be condoned. The NPPR has been designated pursuant to Executive Order 10450.

The New York Junta activity consists primarily of promoting the cause of independence through sponsoring and participating in public demonstrations and commemorating specific past events, having significance to the Puerto Rican independence movement. The New York Junta has no headquarters and its meetings are held at the residence of the members. It elects its own officers and is generally autonomous in NPPR affairs in the New York City area.
