Summary:  
The documents detail FBI communications and intelligence operations related to Cuban anti-Castro activities in Miami during March 1967. A Cuban alien operating under the code name "FISHFACE" was monitored by U.S. authorities for his role in gathering information on anti-Castro movements. The FBI's Miami SAC (Special Agent in Charge) reported on meetings of anti-Castro leaders, including Manuel Fernandez and Palacio Garcia, who were associated with former Castro officials such as Manuel Ururita, Felipe Pazos, and Bireu Gonzalez. These meetings discussed potential diplomatic efforts to address tensions between Cuba and the United States, including proposals for a committee to travel to Cuba to engage in discussions with Cuban officials about political differences, prisoners, and relations with the Soviet Union. The FBI requested clearance to share this information with the Cuban principal overseeing FISHFACE's activities, emphasizing that dissemination was restricted.
