09/20/61: FBI report by Robert B. Nadeau of the New York Office to Director: Titled: Bloc of Cooperation: Page 4: ..."On October 7, 1959, Manuel Bernier, 67-35 Yellowstone Boulevard, Forest Hills, New York, said he was the leader of the recently formed anti-Trujillo organization, CRPLD, and advised the purpose of this organization was to support General Miguel Angel Ramirez, who was in Havana, Cuba, in his efforts to do something for those Dominican youths who were members of the attempted invasion against the Dominican Republic in June, 1959....Hazim said the purpose of the CRPLD continues to be to unite all Dominican exile groups into a common front against the Trujillo regime. The CRPLD was organized in 1959 after the Castro regime in Cuba was successful. It appeared at that time that Fidel Castro, who had previously made some sensational statements in favor of a Dominican revolution, would help General Miguel Angel Ramirez organize an armed expedition against the Trujillo forces in the Dominican Republic. Hazim said the CRPLD was very sympathetic to the efforts of General Ramirez to assist the Dominicans who had attempted the expedition against the Dominican Republic in June, 1959. However, Castro later imprisoned General Ramirez, and it was apparent Castro had no intention of helping the anti-Trujillists. Hazim claimed the Dominicans now want to overthrow the Trujillo regime without any aid whatever from Castro's Communist Cuba."
