1. The Santos Dumont District Committee, which is one of the 16 Enterprise
and District Committees which the Communist Party of. Brazil (PCB) has
in the Federal District, controls all the Communist cells in the federal
government agencies in that District. In one sense it should be an
Enterprise Committee rather than a District Committee, since its
jurisdiction is not confined to a particular area; however, it is
classified as a District Committee because it does not operate within one
particular enterprise, but includes government employees who hold positions
in all the ministries and agencies of the federal government. It does
not includeCCommunists in certain of the autonomous agencies, such as the
Central do Brasil Railroad and the Lloyd Brasileiro.
2. The membership of the Santos Dumont Committee as of 1 December 1953,
including new members obtained since April 1953 in the'Stalin Recruitment
Campaign, is shown as follows:
