RADIO COMMENTATORS NORMAN DIAZ AND ARTURO ARTALSJO. THE MAJORITY OF CUBAN EXILES EI MIAMI ARE INDIFFERENT TO THE MARCH BECAUSE THEY DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IT EFFECTIVELY PRESENTS THEIEW TO THE OAS. MANY WHO WOULD BE INTERESTED ARE NOT PARTICIPATING BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE THERETRONG BATISTA "FLAVOR" IN THE LEADERSHIP OR BECAUSE THEY DO NOT FEEL TEW THEY CAN AFFORD TO MAKE THE TRIP. APPARENTLY MORE ENTHUSIASM EXISTS IN THE NEW YORK AREA, WHERE THE CONFEDERACION DE TRABAJADORES DE CUBA EN EXILIO (CTCE, CONFEDERATION OF CUBAN WORKERS ENEADED BY EUSEBIO MUJAL BARNIOL, AND OTHER GROUPS HAVE BEEN VERY ACTIVE IN ORGANIZING THE MARCH.

7. OTHER LEADERS OF THE ORGANIZING COMMITTEE INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING PERSONS:

BERTHA FERRER, LAWYER, FORMER MEMBER OF THEOF UNIDAD REVOLUCZONAP.IA IN MIAMI.
