iscussed the natter of sending Individuals

to various countries for propaganda missions without cbecking and coordinating with tha Oroup. We BUluslly agreed that In tbe future all necessary steps will be taken to convince RUFUS that theae trips (such aa the ooe to Mexico by his emissary and the trip of his can to the United States) was certainly unnecessary and aould cause confusion both here and ln Mexico.aid that ba bad already written RUFUS to this effect but that in his next coaeBunlcatlon he would again point out the danger of falling to coordinate with the group first.

L ald that one possibility existed which he very strongly reccenandad that it be considered. C. aid that If an Individual waa stationed with RUFUS in whoa KCFUS would hare co-pletet would then be easier to control tharopaganda sense.-

A. C -Usaid that he knew that TO.VJ had been assigned to the place where RUFUS1 Headquarters isi but he felt that in addition to this JUAil josc could easily bo sent there to reinforce the personal relationships which are now being conducted by AMXRES. he aald that he had the feeling thatRES did not understand RUFUS completely; whon be objected to some form of activity which RUFUS was conducting, he did so ftn ao brusque andanner that RUFUS did notany of the advice which he received.

eid that JUAN JOSK, on the other hand, would agree with RUFUS in principle but ln the end would cose to see tho point of view which JUAN JQSt: had sponsored froai thee said that this io the typo of relationship which should be established and that he would oertelnly recocaend that JUAB JOSh be sent there as soon aa possible.
