| − | In February, 1968, Rudd along with a group of approximately twenty-two people and approximately nineteen other [[SDS]]/[[Weatherman]] members, and two Cuban Government officials with diplomatic status traveled to Cuba via Mexico City at the request of the Cuban Government, which paid all of the expenses. One of the Cuban Government officials in the group was the former First Secretary at the Cuban Mission to the United Nations (CMUN) who was also a Cuban Intelligence Officer. While in Mexico City, the group stayed at the Cuban Consulate. Several of the SDS members had previously traveled to other foreign countries friendly to Cuba. The group was destined to the Instituto Cubano para Amistad entre los Pueblos (ICAP-Cuban Institute for Friendship between Peoples) although the ICAP operated as a cultural exchange organization on the surface, it was in fact the Cuban Government's School for Ideological Indoctrination and their chief instrumentality for providing training to foreign [[radical]]s in [[revolution]]ary and guerilla tactics. Rudd and others visited the ICAP on this trip. During their four week visit, SDS members also talked with representatives of the NLF (the political arm of the [[Viet Cong]]) and with individuals from [[North Korea]]. | + | In February, 1968, Rudd along with a group of approximately twenty-two people and approximately nineteen other [[SDS]]/[[Weatherman]] members, and two Cuban Government officials with diplomatic status traveled to [[Cuba]] via Mexico City at the request of the Cuban Government, which paid all of the expenses.
