Memorandum to Mr. Sullivan Re: ANTI-CASTRO ACTIVITIES IN THE U.S. IMMEDIATE ACTION RECOMMENDED BY.THE CONFERENCE: Mr.-Cottrell made a point of the fact that this conference was merely to recommend action which might be instituted by the U.S. Govern- ment to frustrate plans of the Cuban refugees to conduct raids against Cuba in-the immediate future and to recommend action U.S. Government might take on?a longer range basis in an effort to reduce such raids to a bare minimum. He said it was recognized on the highest levels of our Government- that a one hundred percent elimination of these raids would be an impossibility. It was made clear by FBI representatives at the conference, who -. were Supported in this respect by Assistant Attorney General Yeagley, that? FBI has no jurisdiction concerning or responsibility for actions of a preventive nature. Mr. Grapp forcefully explained that Bureau has certain'; intelligence responsibilities to produce information, which we are doing, in this matter.and that its other responsibilities relate to investigating activities indicating a possible violatibn of Federal statutes. 'With respect to the present raids against Cuba, it was pointed'out that if the 3 Department specifically requests an FBI investigation of an allegation that a raid is being planned, the investigation is undertaken immediately 1 and pursued on a special basis for the purpose of developing facts which ..1 can be presented to the Department for its consideration and opinion as 'to prosecutive action. . p- 2 Mr. Cottrell then proceeded to direct discussion toward actiOn which the conference desired to recommend that the President consider for the purpose of stopping cold the raids against Cuba which may beimminent. 1 Participants at the cOnference other than FBI representatives then engaged in a discussion which firmed up the following recommended actions: - An understanding with Sir Robert Stapleton, Consul General of Nassau, which would permit personnel of the U.S. Coast Guard to land on islands which are British territory for the purpose of checking .: i suspicious boats. A Coast Guard repreSentative at the conference pointed out that there is presently an understanding with Sir Robert permitting Coast Guard overflights of British territory for this purpose. Cottrell stated that this action, if approved, would have to be instituted in' Washington. Mr. Grapp learned following the conference that Cottrell ordered that no landings by the Coast Guard be effected on British territory until further noticed (2) State Department to provide INS with blanket authority to place departure controls into effect against Cuban parolees.

CARTER was still at Los Angeles and under observation intermittently by SpeCial Agents STANLEY R. RUSSO and the writer._ CARTER occupied room 6317 at the Hotel BiltmoreLLos Angeles, and was observed checking out of_that hotel on October 12, 1941, A list of telephone numbers for calls made by CARTER during his stay at the Biltmore Hotel was furnished by Assistant manager CATO of that hotel,-and .g the identities of the subscribers thereto are being secured for inclusion . in a subsequent report. CARTER left no forwarding address and went pare sonally to the United Airlines Office immediately adjacent to the Biltm more Hotel, where he made air travel reservations. From Mr. Ca VOORHIS, Reservations Clerk of the said airline, the following prospective itiner~. ary of CARTER was obtained: A The records disclosed.that CARTER was scheduled to travel on Flight 17 leaving San Francisco at 3:15 P.M. on October 14, 1941 for Seattle, due to arrive in Seattle at 8:27 P.M. the same date. .He was-, further booked to leave Seattle via United Airlines on Trip No. 14 for Chicago-at on October 15, 1941, and scheduled to arrive at Chicago at 8:32 A.M., October 16, 1941. Inasmuch as (JARTER traveled from New York to Los.Angeles via this airline, it was assumed that he would make further reservations on the same carrier at Chica 0. ll of the offices on route were advised hy_reference tale ype of Oct,EftSl ?15,,lg4lm which further related status as an organizer for the CCMMITT TO RUSSIA.

JANE MEAEE, however, according to the.oited informant, took' up various matters with CARTER and relayed messages to MAN1 It will be observed hereinafter that BIBERMAN was engaged.on October 10, 1941 on andther of his projects and apparently did not have time to entertain CARTER at his home. However, JANE MEADE indicated to BIBERMAN that.the program of the Russian Aid Committee was thought by CARTER to be progressing satisfactorily and it is apparent that the group felt visit;a?hieved the results of unity and cohesion in the .movement, the lack of which_ha a previously felt by them, as shown in the writer's reference report .wfi VDuring the current weekly period it has been observed daily Winn *4 . 1 I f1 NH 54460 Page 3 -1 war?V.? -1 "1.4\?ru 8m 1" Agata. I A 1 time a junior partner of MORGAN COMPANY had been seen at a "red" meeting. It is interesting to note the reference by BIBERMAN to the LAMONT sponw sorship of Russian war relief in juxtaposition to his statements regarding the AMERICAN COUNCIL ON SOVIET RELATIONS. It is reasonably obvious that there is a motivating force controlling the resurgence of the two types Of pro? . pagAnda favorable to the_ Soviet cause. and collaterally the education of - I 5 1 the Amer.1can public to the abandonment of prejudice against the Soviet and - its form of government. In View of this, the Bureau was advised by A reference teletype 15, 194;] in compliance with instructionszib;3 contained in Bureau le tor of August l9hl, concerning the activities of the A. C. S. additionally disclosed by documentary eNidence menw tioned below. Qi) '3 With reierence to _the ccniercnce arranged by CULLEN for HARRIS, BIBERBJ LAWSON as abdve cited, it may be stated that due to the secrecy Maintained by the participants, no informatiOn could be secured by Confidential National Defense Informant Los AngelesIEKEZ] Hewever, it was asc-ertained that Rev. THOMAS H. was registered at the Mayflower Hotel, 52? South Grand Avenue, Los Angeles, California. His registration card as furnished by Mr. MOMEANS, manager, and photostatic copies Of which - i a.re being placed in the Los Angeles file in this case, reflects that HARRIS, I accompanied by his wiie, checked into the HOtel on October 3, l9Al, and occupied Room 925 until October ll, 1941. While at the hotel, HARRIS made three telephonec calls and sent two telegrams. On October 3,19Al,- hex tele? - i phoned Crestviow 683AO twice, and it has been ascertained that the subscriber 1 to this number is the EurOpean Film Fund, 9172 Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, California. Collateral information is being secured concerning this organi? zation to ascertain, if possible, what business relations HARRIS had with the organization. On October 10, HARRIS telephoned Sunset 23387, which is Ian unpublished number subscribed to by JOHN GARFIELD, #031 Longridge Ave., i Van Nuys, California. The status of GARFIELD will be described hereinafter. . The telegrams sent by HARRIS were both directed to New York City to addressees ,whose identities have not_ yet been ascertained. . The Peoples World, Communist Party neWSpaper, in its issue of October 10, l9Al carried an article entitled URGE MORE which reflected that HARRIS spoke at a rally under the ,auspices of the American Council on Soviet Relations on October 9, l9hl, THH 5446i] Page 4 54460 Page 5 . Who45?Ej(fOt been prominent in the past in Communist? ?dominated or- he "did not think they were the right people." It will be noted here that both_ VIOLA EROIHERS SRO ORE and SAMUEL ORNITZ have been prominent in the past in connection with Communist front organizations, and further, it is re?' ca-lled that the pattern of activities as cited in the writer?s 1eference report and the report dated Oc_tober 4,1941, calls for the use of ganizations . The meeting at IESTER house, above described, was dis? cussed RUTHVEN with BIBERMAN along lines which indicated that it was called becauSe she had received a telegram from New York asking for, haste and piesumably sent by headquarters. Confidential National Defense Informant Los Angeles No. .1100 advised that in the discussion RUTHVEN stated that they muSt have the names in by the 24th, and the informant suggeSts the possibility that the names in question are those of 5 local sponsors and workers on the A. C. .R. project. She stated that "they", obviously meaning the New York headquarters, had "sent some names from A New York some very geod names." According to the cited informant, RUTH- . further commented on the fact that it would be difficult to get JUIIEL to attend the meeting because of his present motion picture commitments. Informant 1100 has, 11dicated that JULIE is identical with JOHN Raference is made to the fact that letter was addressed to ERNEST DAWSON and furth_er reference is made to the mention therein of VIOLA BROTHERS SHORE and JOHN GARFIELD. It is considered adv1sable . to set out the available information in the files of the Les Angeles Field 1 Division Office reflecting the status of these individuals with relation to the Communist Party. It will be noted that HARRIS himself says that he met DAWSON in the Soviet Union. The f'act of visit to Russia has . been of record in the Les AngeIes Field Division, which has a case entitled . DANSON MRS. SADIE ROBERTS DAWSON, with aliases; ESPIONAGE R, Los Angeles File No. 65 1574. In this caSe custodial detention memorandums 1 have been submitted on both DANSON and his wife. The live at 3003 Vineyard Street, Los Angeles, California, and DAWSON operates a high- cliss book shop known as BOOK STORE, located at 627 South Grand Avenue, Los Angeles, California. DAWSON was a Spenser of the DEFENSE and his wife was treasurer of that committee. DAWSON was also a captain of the 6lst Assembly Di_strict of the AMERICAN PEACE CRUSADE and has been re- ported by Confidential NLational Defense Informant Los Angeles No. 3 as a member of the Communist Party as of January 31,1939. This informant in? dicates the present possession and ability to produce documentary evidence of membership in the Communist Party. In view of the feet that DAWSON appears of- interest to this investigat-ion_ in the light of Rev. letter, it is censidered advisable to establish aemail cover on this individual, and same has been requeSted as of the date of this report. NH 54460 Page 6 League, the school started as a school for writers on Monda.y, October. 13, 1941, and from the circumstance of the group meeting at it is concluded that the meeting had reference to the launching of this school. From Coniidential National Defense Informant Los Angeles NC. 5, there was' obtained data indicating that CEDRIC BEIFRAGE, AUL IARRICO, VIOLA BROTHERS SHORE, and LAWSON will be among the instructOrs in 4 the school for Writers. Informant No. 3 advised that he had obtained a brochure announcing the school and its courses, whiCh indicated that VIOLA BROTHERS SHORE would lecture on the composition of?short stories, . and that LAWSON would conduct a course entitled "History of American Liberty From the COlonial Period to The Present" on Monday even? ings throughout the winters In view of the character of the lectures to be delivered by LAWSON as indicated by the title of his course, consideration is being given_ to the registration of a Bureau employee or Confidential Informant in the courses being offered at the writers? School. - . It is noted that the LEAGUE OF AIF ERICAN WRIT ERS has received attention as a Communist front o-rganization in the Los Angeles Field Division and full information concerning it is reflected in the case entitled INTERNAL SECURITY - Los Angeles File No. 100?5377. - 1 As of the date c: the dictation of this report, Confidential National Defense Informant Los Angeles No. 1100 advised that information had been developed concerning General YAKHONTOFF, who, it is ncted, is men? 'tioned in the letter written by THOMAS L. HARRIS to ERNEST DAWSON. The cited informant advised that one PHILIP GARDNER contacted subject MAN and advised him that the I.W.O. was bringing General YAKHONTOFF to Los Angeles on the seventeenth of November, and that YAKHONTOFF would re?_ main until the twenty?third of November. (airmen stated that nunsowrorr' is"booked every night, but that he,. CARIETER, got in tcuch with BIBERNAN- to offer the services of YAKHONTOFF to BIBERMAN for propaganda use by eubw _ject ?among the Hollywood crowd." BIBERMAN, in rejoinder, advised GARDNER that possibly the AMERICAN COUNCIL ON SOVIET REIATIONS "might be able to nee him," but .he stated that YAKHONTOEF would have to be made available in 'the evening. GARDNER stated that possibly that could be arranged, and it .was suggested that some time prior to arrival, BIBERNAN get in touch with GARDNER, whose office is Room 536, 257 South Spring Street, Ins Angeles, telephone MUtual 5468. Informant 1100 further stated that fol? lowing the dissussion concerning availability to BIBERMAN if the latter wanted him, GARDNER asked BIBERMAN if the latter- would like to be on a program with at a mass meeting to be held at the Embassy Auditorium, Los Ana beles, during visit. BIBERMAN immediately stated to GARDNER that he expected to be out of town in about three weeks and would remain away from Les Angeles fer at least six weeks, and there? fore, could not be publicly booked.

A. #2 in an attempt to identify this union leader. 1" on March 10, 1942 DIRITRI TIOMKIN and BIBERMAN held a conference and TIOMKIN advised BIBERMAN that JANE and he had just called New York to determine through the Russian Rar Relief offices there if it would be pos- sible to get Madame LITVINOV or DORDTHI THOMPSON for the rally; DIMITRI stated that she had talked to MORRIS (general administrator of Russian'war .Relief in Res" York?) and MORRIS advised sending a telegram to madame LITVINGV \with many prominent :names on it and maybe she would come, TIORKIN stated that he had aloe talked with EDWARD CARTER, whom, he stated, had pneumonia and was dangerouSly 111m CARTER had told JANE, TIORKIN stated, that TIOMKIN 'was the person who could induce madame LITVIRDV to come if anyone could. DIMITRI then told BIBERMAN that he and JANE had tried to call SomeOne, ap- parently LITVINOV, "But that she would not he in until tomorrow morning? CM) DIMITRI also stated that DAVID RABIES, president of the Russian . War Relief Aesociation of Southern California, had premised to take the reopensibility to get the big nanes: and to send Madame LITVINOV a BIBERMAN then asked DIMITRI what he was doing sheet the letters, apparently referring to letters Written to prominent_ people encouraging ing fine and that HARRY BENNETT, Russian War Relief publicity director, was attempting to get in the studio and also planning a radio program, MAN told TIOMKIN that the fact that CARTER and MDRRIS were so enthusiasic should. give DIRITRI a great deal of- encouragement. DIMITRI further advised HERBERT that JANE was attempting to plan a receptio_n for a certain lady, who apparently is rather well respected, and after some conversae for this event, howeVer, this informant was unable to obtain sufficient informatiOn concerning this proposed reception. (E49 . 0n the same date DIRITRI was again in contact with BIDERMAN and advised that BORIS IRGSTER, JANE MEADR, MR.

Hence it would pear that at least in this particular inetance BIBEREAE nae the go-between in procuring Russian propaganda for a script, Which.w111 probably be pro- duced as a_ movie. Should BIBEREAN be further affiliated in either procurr ing other background for this propoSed aoript or should he in any way be? come concerned with it further, it will be developed in Subsequent During the period of this report GALE SGMDERGAARD had been con- tacted by members of ten Communist front Organizations and invited to lec- tore to them. On Earch l, 1942 FREDA FGNT IVITZ (phonetic), telephone 6?6594, contacted HERBERT BIBEHEAE and advised him that she re- presented the Hellywood oceans Council and wanted GALE to- give a lecture entitled "Women in Defense" in one of the series of chain luncheons which 'oas to beI held the following Saturday at 2: 90 P. E. At this meeting, stated, One hundred and fifty ladies would be present, including four of the Russian medical aides.I GALE later recontacted FONTIVITZ and advisedr she could not make a personal appearance at thi meeting, stating she had 'a first aid class at the same hour on Again on Earch 2, 1942, HANNA SCHEARTZ contacted GALE and asked .her if she would speak at a women' maSs meeting on Brooklyn Avenue on Eerch 8? HANNA advised GALE that there would be a number of ISO clubs present and several other organizations. She asked GALE to speak on the. subject of ?Women's place in the?Eorld" GALE advieed SASHA that she Would check her schedule to see if she could make this appearance and requested HANNA to Contact her later on the Same day; however, when ELENA recontacIted GALE stated she had talked to her husband and scene we are coon- pied thet evening ac I can't accept the ?1 The file entitled PARTY, LOS AEGELES number 100?1763, reflects that one HANNA SCHWARTZ is the Wife of LOUIS SCHWARTZ, I',president of. the Newsboys Union - GIG, who is preminentIy connected with the Communist Party in Les Angeles.donfidentia1 Rational Defense Informant .E. #150, whose identity has been made known to the Bureau, _has advised this office that HANNA SCHWARTZ is also an active member of- the Les Angelee _Communist Party and a Blese friend of PETTIS PERRY, chairman of the Los 'SAngelos County Communist Party.

Two of theSe full 1ength pictures are being retained in the Ifile for identification purposes. Also during the period of this report 1t has come to the attention of the Los Angeles Office that GALE SONDERGAARD was one of many people from the movie industry who sent telegrams- to the president of Mexico objecting to his proposed deportation of several Spanish chil- dren between the ages of fifteen and twentyhone. The People' a world described these Spaniards as being antquascist and conducted a camp paign urging American citizens to sire the president of Hexico in their behalf :3 - Further, Confidential National Defense Informant #1357 adrised the writer that ED RGBBIN, known Communist member and sponsor of the?ROrld Forum, on march 29, 1942, publicly urged the audience at the'Uorld Forum to direct ?such terms of intercession to the proSident of Mexico on behalf of these antinFascist _people". The fact that GALE also sent one reflects that in this One instance, at least, 0' she has followed the so-called Communist Party line??z) It is further interesting to note in this connection that the People? s'World of April 5, 1942 reflects that the president of Mexico granted these Spanish deportees one year of grace for their final depor- tation. During the past month JCHN HGWARD secured a posi- ItiOn.as writer for CECIL B. at a Hollywood studio. Temporary Confidential National Defense Informant- L. A. #3 stated that LAWSON leaves his home every morning at approximately 9:30 A. M. and reappears at ap- proximately 4:30 or 5: 00. P.M. During this pertinent period, also, this informant has procured a copy of the "Soviet Power" written by the Dean of Canterbury and a pamphlet entitled- "Infermation Bulletin?, published by the Embassy of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics celebrating the anniversary of the "Great @ctober Socialist Revolution" In this pamphlet are various messages sent to STALIN by AmeriCan people, 3 congratulating him on the anniVersary of the Revolution. Included in this booklet are messages from THEODORE DURANTI, JOSEPH CURRAN, FRANZ BGAS, UPTON SINCLAIR, and aloe PETTIS PERRY, who is described therein as "Chairman Soviet Anniversary meeting in Los? Angeles", but who is known to the Los Angeles Office and the Bureau as I chairmen of the Los Angeles County communist' Party. Concerning the magazine "Soviet PowerM attention is invited ,to the fact that the Communist Party in Los Angeles distributed over Seventy thousand copies in this area alone and has stated at their meet~ .ings that I'IComrades Should see to it that the public receives this publi- cation."

MM T-l stated HALL is disagreeable, is not liked by the other mercenaries in Miami, is of low moral character, and appears to have a crimina1_background.?

Somehow connected with this group is an American, LORENZO HALL, also known as LAWRENCE HALL, a soldier of fortune, who appears irresponsible and at one time was a member of the Cuban Rebel Army.

It is doubtful they collected any sizeable amount of money. Their practice is to contact' local chapters of the John Birch Society, claiming they are anti-Communist freedom fighters, and ask fer money to carry on their work.. They do obtain some money this way, and use the money for,living expenses. In October, 1963, according to MM T-l, HALL and SEYMOUR_visited Dallas, Texas, trying to collect money donations under the guise of representing organizations. Among the persons they contacted was R.

HALL never succeeded in such military effort in that he was thwartedE? by the action of U. S. Customs at Miami, who seized what equipment he possessed. MM T-l expressed the opinion that HALL may have gone to Mexico with HOWARD, but HALL is not known to have returned to Miami since the latter part of 1963. On July 22, 1964, GERALD PATRICK S. W. 5th Street, Miami, Florida, who since 1959 has been active in Cuban revolutionary activities, stated HALL, in April, 1959, at which time HALL was in jail at the Army barracks in Ciudad Libertad near Havana, Cuba. HALL was arrested for being involved in alleged prepara- tions for revolutionary action against Nicaragua. HALL shared a cell in the Cuban jail with SANTOS TRAFFICANTE, well known gambler and hoodlum of Tampa and Miami,- Florida. - . HEMMING stated he next met HALL in Los Angeles ?rin January, 1963, at which time HEMMINQ was visiting his family, and while in Los Angeles, HEMMING was inter- lviewed by a repOrter from the PASADENA INDEPENDENT STAR concerning 5 anti- CASTRO organization called DuoId:32356696 'Page a . HH354653 3235?69? LORAN HALL Interpsn. (Inter-Continental Penetration Forces). HALL, who was in California at the time, was able to locate HEMMING through the reporter. HEMMING related that on his return from Cali- fornia to Miami in February, 1963, HALL accompanied him, and after arrival in Miami, HALL attempted to asso: ciate himself with various groups to organize action on several revolutionary ideas of HALL, including one to invade Haiti. None of the groups at Miami took HALL very seriously, considering him SomeWhat of an un? .reliable_character. HALL eventually aSSOCiated himself with a Cuban named MANUEL AGUILAR. Together with AGUILAR and several-other Americans, including WILLIAM SEYMOUR from Arizona and TOM DUNKIN, a Florida neWSpaper- man, HALL'participated in an infiltration attempt against Cuba but they were arrested by U. S. CustOms while still on the highway in the Florida Keys. At that time U.S. Customs confiscated what equipment the group had, but no prosecutions were brought against HALL or the other. individuals involved. HEMMING stated that the latter incident occurred some time in late 1963. During the summer of 1963, HALL and LAWRENCE HOWARD, an individual of Mexican-American descent who was in Miami at the time, went out to Ca1ifornia~ where they were able to raise funds and obtain some guns_ which they then-brought back to Miami. HEMMING-recalled that_they had approximately 16 Garand M41 rifles, which? they converted to automatic rifles. HEMMING Said that these weapOns were confisCa ted by- Customs on the highway in the Florida Keys tqhen HALL and his -group were reportedly preparing to leave for Cuba._ 54653 Page LORAN EUGENE HALL HEMMING advised that HALL has not been in Miami since approximately November, 1963, when Customs made the seizure of'equipment. He said that HALL left Miami with LAWRENCE HOWARD, who was reportedly now in vera Cruz, Mexico. HEMMING did not know if HALL went to Mexico at. that time but he recently saw MANUEL AGUILAR, now a member of the group Ejercito Rebelde in Miami; and AGUILAR said he had recently heard from HALL, who is still in Los Angeles. HEMMING stated that HALL is about 32 years of age and is-married to a woman who once was the secretary to the President of Cessna Aircraft in Wichita, Kansas, but as of February, 1963, when HEMMING was in Los Angeles, HALL was residing at 285 N. Oakland, Apartment 9, Pasadena, California; 'At that time he was employed by the Ernie Porter Chevrolet Company in Pasadena.)- HEMMING- related that HALL and MWRENCE HOWARD hwhen en route from.California to Miami in the summer of a 1963 with the converted Garand rifles, were held by the ?Dallas Police Department_for possession of narcotic medicines. HEMMING believed that HALL and HOWARD had been able to obtain-such medicines from doctors in Cali? fornia on the basis of their proposed military action against Cuba, which would require medicine for the wounded. not know how HALL and HOWARD came to the atten- ?tion of the Dallas police.

HALL shared a cell in the Cuban jail with SANTOS TRAFFICANTE, well known gambler and hoodlum of Tampa and Miami, HEMMING stated he next met HALL in Los Angeles .in January, 1963, at which time HEMMIHG was visiting NH 54653 his family, and while in Los was inter~' viewed by a reperter from the PASADENA INDEPENDENT concerning.? 5 anti CASTRO organization called DucId:3235?166_ Page a EUGENE HALL (Inteerontinental Penetration ForCes).? HALL. who wee in California at the time; was able to locate I HEMMIMG through the reporter. 2. HEMMING related that on his return from Cali- fornia to Miami in February, 1963, HALL accompanied ?him and after arrival in Miami, HALL attempted to assom ciate himself with variouS'anti-CASTRO grOups to organize action on several revolutionary ideas of HALL, including one to invade Haiti. None of the groups at Miami took HALL very seriously, considering him Somewhat of an un- reliable oharacter. HALL eventually associated himself with a Cu.ban named MANUEL AGUILAR.. Together with AGUILAR and several other Americans, including WILLIAM SEYMOUR from Arizona and TOM DUNKIN, a Florida newspaper- ma.n HALL participated in an infiltration attempt against Cuba but they were arrested by U. while Still en the highway in the Florida Keys. At that time U. S. Customs confiscated what equipment the group had, but no prosecutions were brought againSt HALL or the other individuals involved. HEMMING Stated that_the latter incident occurred some time in late 1963. During the summer of 1963, HALL and LAWRENCE i HOWARD an ind.ividual of Mexi.can-American descent 'nho was in.Miami at the time, went out to California where they were able to raise funds and obtain some guns which they then-brought back to Miami.? HEMMING recalled that they had approximately 16 Gerand Mel rifles, which - they converted to automatic riflea. HEMMING said that "these'weapons were confiscated by U.S. Customs on the NH 54653 highway in the Florida Keys when HALL and his group were reportedly preparing.to leave for Cuba. 'a'6ie .DuoId:32351166 Page 9 LORAN EUGENE HALL HEMMING advised that HALL has not been in Miami since approXimately November, 1963, when Customs made the aeizure of equipment. He said that HALL left Miami with LAWRENCE HOWARD, who~waa reportedly now in Vera Cruz, Mexico. HEMMING did not know if HALL went to Mexico.at that time but he recently AGUILAR, now a member of the group Ejercito Rebelde in Miami; and AGUILAR said he had recently heard from is "still in Les Angeles. . HEMMING stated that HALL is about 32 years of -- age and is married to a woman who once was the secretary to the President of Cessna Aircraft'in Wichita, Kansas, but as of February, 1963, when HEMMING was in Los Angelee, HALL was residing at 285 N. Oakland, Apartment 9,yPasadena, California; 'At that time he was employed by the Ernie Porter Chevrolet Company in Pasadena. related that and LAWRENCE HOWARD when en route from-California-to Miami in the Sommer of 1963 with the converted Garand rifles, were held by the Dallas Police Department_for narcotic medicines. that HALL and HOWARD had _been able to obtain-such medicines from doctors in Cali~ fornia on the basis of their proposed military action againet Cuba, which'would require medicine for the wounded.

From the work which the Soviets presented, it appeared that they were not involved in basic "ivory tower" type research, but rather in what we would call applied research. From the number of co-authors which appeared on their papers one would tend to think that a rather large effort was being made in this field. Repeatedly, the Soviets asked questions about the effects and measurement I of intermediateerange (epi-thermal) neutrons (which have energies in the range at 100 EV to 0.50 They indicated a great deal more interest in the -intermediate range neutrons than did their U.S. counterparts.

Kennedy. A search for such materials would involve the review of voluminous records, which would be impractical. As can be noted in the reSponse to item SeVen, instructions were issued for contacts of all informants and sources. Results of contacts with sources familiar with Cuban and Castro matters would be scattered throughout not only assassination files, but numerous other Cuban and Castro files. Additionally, if questioning of sources produced no pertinent information, if w0uld not necessarily have been reported to FBI IIeadquarters by the field offices. nl? 31115615, A 1. 177.3 . ?1 .113." 1. 31, 13:- 1 n4 1 av err; 1111'- 3.

The primary reason, according to the Bureau, is that the FBI does not have a topical index to its files. This means that Bureau personnel have to use their own judgment to determine where the requested materials are likely to be lecated. With reference to_the request relating to assassination plots, the FBI decided to review 80 volumes of files reflecting - the relationship between the Bureau and CIA between 1958 and 1965? The Bureau and Select Committee staff members Andrew Ecstal and David Bushong also reviewed .the volumes of a file relating to Cuban matters. The limits of the Bureau' a retrieval capabilities and the robleme involved in locating all relevant materials a ., phed to the 330 Staff members at that time. 57$tionally, the Committee has often been in ion of information that would assist the Fcating requested materials. In past bk 9 information was normally provided to the assist in the preparation of a complete "respone.t However, I understand that with regari to requests for assassination materials this was not done54653 Duc1a?32423493 Page?14 NH 54653 to delays in delivering materials Ejggequested by teh Committee, the Bureau has ?Q?g;f;that it is doing its best to respond to the f? requests in a prompt, yet thorough,_faehion. that the Committee's requests "are?numerdus and in many cases general. Thie_causee the Bureau_to tie up large numbers of personnel unnece- ssarily and causes delay in responding to the Committee's requests. In addition; third'agency clearance requirements also cause certain responsesto be delayed. In any event the Bureau is making a good faith effort to remedy any previous oversights, and would like to meet with you and your staffcto explain in more detail? why the recently discovered materials were not made avail- able to the Committee earlier.

First of all, would like to_call the Committee?s attention to Rule 5 dealing with subpoenas. "As mUch as for -attendance of witnesses or the production -of memoranda and doCuments, records or any other material may Abe issued_by the Chairman or any other member designated by him after consulation with the vice Chairman. 'It may be Served by any perSon deSignated by the Chairman or member." At the first meeting of this Committee our records show? that we did discuss the subpoena question and I indicated then that any time that it became_neCessary to consider the use of subpoenas I Would indicate generally to the Committee the field of inquiry for which the subpoenas might be required before issuing them, though the Rule gives me the authority to do so after consultation with the Ranging Member. ?Now we have reached that point where it may'be neceSsary fer subpoenas to be issued.in connection with the-following investigations that are now underway; I - lFirst off the Huston Plan where we will commence taking depositions requiring testimony under oath, detailed question- ing in this connection.h I believe the plan is to start with Huston himself and others. 5It is very likely in order to get? a full disclosure from these witnesses; some of whom may be. hostile, subpoenas may be required.

I think that is the best way. 'Chairman Church. I do, too. We will-not use subpoenas -unless it becomes necessary, but I wanted the Committee to know ?that we are now at that point and if it becdmes necessary I _will issue subpoenas in connection with the Huston Plan. In connection with the Post Office mail opening, here again we have a situation where some of the Post Office -employees, I understand, may have violated criminal laws and may be subject to possible prosecution. For that reason, in order to get the faCts concerning this Case, it may be neces- sary to use subpoenas to bring them in and testify. In the Martin Luther King case, we have a similar circum- ystance. Would you care to -- Mr. Schwarz; martin Luther Kind is an illustration of_ where a man who we haye already interviewed, from whom we now need sworn indicated that he would like to haye? a subpoena to bring him in. That is going to be another typical situation,-people who are willing to come but would? _prefer to have a subpoena. 'Senator Goldwater.?

It involves initially a tap on his phone, then a hug, allegedly, incertain hotelss and-residences in which he was staying. Then a bug at the ?Atlantic City Democratic Convention in 1964, which may involve problems of not only his conversations with people involved in that convention but private conversations. And finally, Senator, it involves the dissemination of the material that was obtained, much of which dealt with his personal life.

He concurred that it would expedite our I procedures; he believed with us that the national interest would be served if we could stay on schedule.V He would relay our request to the Commission, but thta since the Commission was a creature.oi the PreSident the request would then haye to beH. relayed to the White house.

We must know about that.; As far as the Kennedy connection is concerned, my View, for what it is worth, is like Senator Schweiker's, I think We have to look veryicarefully at the question of whether or not _the agencies came clean with-the_Commission, and if there is reason to believe that a full disclosure was not made, or_if? there are contradictions that need further explanation, I don't think it is the work of this Committee to undertake to determine whether or not the'Commission's work was accurate or well founded, but I do think if we find this evidence we should say on the basis of these unanswered questions we think further inquiry into the matter is called for. That_is about as far as I think we can go.v Senator Tower. Chairman, I would certainly think that we should not try to reopen the whole matter. don?t think that the Senate intended that we should, although that was never discussed, and had that been debated on the floor it might have resulted in our getting our legislative history that would have proscribed us in that area. I don't know. But the Warren Commission was a prestigious group of people and I think that if we cast aspersions on them without being able to provide _anything ourselves, we might be damaging our own credibility a little bit.? Chairman Church. I think we have to be very careful how. 11m ?423493- Page 53 54653 Page 54 be answered, in which case we can say that, and that only -has never been sufficient evidence brought to light yet upon that we are going to reopen the Kennedy-assassination.? lassassinations but I think it is extremely important that we 50 we handle it.. Senator Tower. I think we should certainly not suggest to the press we are going to look into that. -That is going to blow up a whole row of snakes. Senator Schweiker. And I don't suggest that, I don't think- Chairman Church. Let's keep any reference to the Kennedy assassinatiOn very carefully to ourselves. The only point I se? -is to determine whether or.not the CIA or the FBI may have withheld, or if there_are unanswered questions here that should because you are right, the Commission was no doubt completely honest, completely conscientious in the work it did, and there which one could conClude that their determination was not Correct. Senator Tower. And you have got various people pursuing; different aspeCts of it and I think any investigation of that type is going to come up with some inconsistencies and some dvidence that appears to be valid that conflict with each other. That happens in criminal trials. But I think we should proceed very cautiously along that line and not even hint to anybody ?Senator Mdrgan. Let me put my thoughts on the record. I think it is important that we explore this business of F: '1 u' . 51 TOP SECRET 'l take our time and consider thoughtfully and carefully how much - . . 2 we_will disclose. -If-I-have any feeling for the_public senti- ?r'g . . i . 'ment of this country at all, I think I am right when I say that .1mately one thousand dolla1s '.worth of communications equipment to establish communications . -. his headquarters in Miami?and assets in Cuba. No monies were ever paid to Rosselli and Giancana. Maheu was .aid part of'his expense money during the periods that he was in Miami. After the failure of the invasion of Cuba word was sent through Mahou to Rosselli to call off the operation and was told to tell his principal that the pi eposal to pay one hundred -fifty thousand dollars for completion of the operation had been definitely withdrawn. 4. In all this period it has been definitely established from .other sources that the Cuban principals involved never discovered or believed that there was other than business and syndicate interest in the project. To the knowledge of the undersigned the1e were no "leaks" of any information concerning the project in the Cuban community in 1iami or in Cuba. 5. I have no proof but it is my conclusion that Rosseili and Giancana gueSsed orassurned that CIA. vi'as behind the project. I never met either of them. 6. Throughout the entire peiiod of the project John selii was the dominant figure indirecting action to the Cuoan piincipals. Reasonable monitoring of his activities indicated that he gave his best efforts to carrying out the project without requiring any corn? mitments for hims self. financial or otherwise. 7. In View of the extreme sensitivity of the information set forth above, only one additional copy of this memorandum has been made and will be retained by the Agency.

Merchant, Douglas, Cray, Gen. Cabell, Gen. Lansdale g/ 1. Cuba Mr. Gray inquired once more as to the status of planning for problems which would arise post?Castro. Mr. Merchant said he would check into the progress of the State Department group which has been charged with developing recommendations on this matter. From this the Group launched into a far?ranging discussion of the entire concept of U.S. efforts against Castro. Mr. Douglas, I supported by Mr. Gray and lvir. Merchant, expounded the idea that 3 perhaps things have now progressed to a point where covert activities i of the type originally envisaged for CIA to undertake will not be effective. Lir. Douglas referred to the extensive program of the militia,- Mr. Cray cited the matter of arms from the Soviet bloc, and Mr. Merchant dwelt on the increasing effectiveness of Castro's measures to control the population in ways which the Communists have developed so well. The latter said that he and others in the State Department had originally thought that a'popular rebellion would develop within Cuba and that this could be augmented by the comparatively small-scale efiorts of exiles under CIA control. Now the same peoplelare beginning to feel more and nature that despite the numerous defections and the economic deprivations being experienced by the middle and upper classes, time is actually. working on Castro?s side. Mr. Merchant said that he foresaw that there would occur a point in time beyond which covert intervention wouldnot do the job. f: it,? Mr. Gray expressed the opinion that we will never be able to "cleanup" the situation without the use of overt U.S. military force. He suggested the possibility of using the CIA?backed exiles to mount a simulated attack on Guantanamo in order to otter an excuse for overt (x - - ?1:213 IS 1 . A 53:93.; 2117? THE WHITE Huust mi Lug-J Lani Ii'J-Jzao win? Page 29 NH 54653 intervention. This led to an involved discussion, the general conclusion of which was that such action on our part would not be desirable, but that should Castro be foolish enough actually to attack Guantanamo this would almost certainly mean war. Mr. Gray said that he had had the Subject of Cuba inscribed on the NSC. agenda for next Monday in order to be able to arrive at a top-level decision on this very point. He thought it essential that the policy of the U.VS. should-be completely understood by responsible officials, so that any overt Cuban act would be met with a previously-agreed?on response. Mr. Merchant?stated that, apart from any attack on Guantanamo, he thought that some of the previous argumentation in today's meeting was faulty, in that wevcould not have it both ways. By this he meant, that it is not logical to conclude that an indigenous uprising is impossible and yet that it is feasible for the U.S. to go in overtly and ?clean up the mess. He pointed out that if Castro?s support were such that an uprising was out of the question then an open invasion by the U. 5. would be met by a hostile population and we would be plunged into a situation like Algeria. Turning to the immediate problem before the Group, Gen. Cabell outlined the general proposal to establish bases in the U. S. rwith the reasons for coming to this conclusion. He cited specifically the I possibility of U. N. investigation in Guatemala and the increased scope of. the program, which has been brought aboutby the increased strength Of the Castro regime. All members of the Group expressed serious- doubts as to whether such activity could be kept at all secure. Mr. Merchant said at one point, that although this does notrepresent a l_ final conclusion on his part, he is inclined to think that the proposal l. embodies the worst aspect of both worlds; that is, the choice should rest between continuing Our operations entirely on foreign soil or preparing to make the best possible case for overt intervention. Mr. Gray suggested that the decision could be put up to his associates at the same time Tibet is discussed. lvfr". hierchant agreed 5 that this is where it should end up,_ but asserted that he is not prepared . to move in that direction until a survey has been made of the possibilities of keeping operations in the U. S. unre'vealed. . . In this connection Gen. Cabell?mentioned the possibility of using a refugee organization either an existing one or a contrived one - to backs top the operations. 1. foquih If?? i? .. PHUPEHTY f? THE WHHE Hum u. I 'aguL?JJ - 1' - DueId:32423551 Page 30 Mr. Douglas said that in any case he would be prepared to have (N the Department, of Defense iny?estigate the availability of specific locations that would be suitable. Finally, Mr. Merchant asked whether any real planning has been done for taking direct positive action against Fidel, Raul and Che Guevara. 'In'e said that without thesethree the Cuban Government would be leaderless and probably brainless. He conceded that it would be i necessary to act against all three simultaneously. Gen. Cabell pointed out that action of this kind is uncertain of results and highly dangerous in conception and execution, because the instruments must be Cubans. He felt that, particularly because of the necessity of simultaneous . action, it wouldihave to be concluded that Mr. Merchant's suggestion i in hevnnd a I I . i f?Cr1I?-Li?)

Cabell explained that the Pinar de Rio supply mission had not taken place because of the absence of specified communication from the DZ, and the Escambray operation had been canceled because of weather. He said that these missions are still planned, and assumed. _that the Group had no objections.- The members so signified. Cuba Gen. Cabell said that the photographic COVerage on the first flight had been only about 50%, becauSe of cloud cover. He continued ?that we are analyzing the exact results on a priority basis and that some time after the middle of next week we should be in a position to make recommendations for the missions required to extendthe coverage. Mr. Gray commented somewhat that this was all right with him since he "would certainly not-be available to discuss anything of this kind before the middle of next week. The other members appeared to have the same reaction. L/o. Policy Consideration Re Cuban Ei?iies Mr. Gray'said that Assistant Attorney General Yeagley had spoken to him after his meeting with C01. King and Messrs. Esterline and Holrnan. He had said that the information. given to him by the CIA representatives, and the arrangements for future coordination if necessary, were entirely satisfactory to him. He had Stated, however, that a problem remains with reSpect to action the FBI should take; that is,? the FBI needs guidance in its handling of Cuban exile groups other than those under the direction of CIA. The Group agreed that the best way to attack this problem would be to have Mr. Yeagley attend next week's-Special Group meeting and discuss the matter at first hand; Mr. Parrott was asked to make arrangements for?this.

Occurrence: In the briefing - ai Nbvember 1960 of PreSident?elect KENNEDY by DULLES and BISSELL, under close questioning BISSELL states that KENNEDY was not told of the use of the Mafia because. 1. KENNEDY was President?elect and it was inappropriate to tell him of this, even though BISSELL himself recognized it was peculiar that he should be advised of the planned invasion of a foreign country, but not the assassination of its leaders; 2. Neither he nor DULLES were following the matter closely enough to have operational knowledge; or 3. It was responsibility in any event. BISSELL then allows as to how it was "quite possible" that JFK was told but, if so,- only in general terms as neither CIA official had detailed knowledge. His best recol~ lection, though, is that the subject did not come up. Then, pressed ton when the CIA put a contract out with the Mafia, such knowledge is shared with he Presidem, he retreats to saying he believes it was the Director' 3 responsibility to do so. Further, he believes that through some channel of JFK was briefed on the use of the Mafia, but concedes he is only guessing. - I Dates} Categories: KENNEDY, John F. (President-elect) late Nov. .

Bissell testified that he did not recall dilecting ,the reactivation of the project but, he said, think I did, as part of Mr. responsibility for Project RIFLE, instruct him to take over the contact. (19).Bisse11 agreed that the purpose of the contact 11-.1-N..54653 Page 35 -2- had been to assassinate CASTRO and said that ?it is a fair inference that there would have been no reason to maintain it [the contacf7 unless there was some possibility of Teactivating that operation.?'

Bissell said_he distussed ?all aspects of the creation of the capability.? (50). Bissell said it was ?quite possible? that he discussed - CASTRO, TRUJILLO, and LUMUMBA with ROSTOW as examples of assassination targets. (50). When asked a final time, by Senator Baker, whether he recalled discussing the assassination capability with_ ROSTOW and BUNDY, Bissell replied: am not sure about BUNDY, but I think ROSTOW, yes, sir.?

His place of residence was a small commercial trayeler hotel, not -frequented by "gringos" the Hotel Commercio where he was registered under alias.

This was indicated and deduced from technically.acquired infor? mation on 1 October, which was-the first and only occasion on that ?Visit in which OSNALD was recorded as identifying himself (partially) by true name. 8. At no time during his stay in Mexico City did the CIA acquire a photo of OSWALD. A carefdl review of all Coyerage n? technical as well.as photOgraphic -- was conducted-by the Station on 22 and 23 November 1963 after the assassination, including materials back to August l963. This confirned that-there was no CIA photo coverage of OSWALD at any time during his Mexico trip or stay in Mexico City. Moreover, although.it-had made a cabled request on 15 October, the Mexico Station had no photo of OSWALD -- whiCh did not have one either before 22 November 1963. 3 DucId:32423611 Page NH 54653 9. it must be stressed that what technical information the- Station had was not (and normally is not) processed in "real time.?

That was his joke in that moment. After that we went to the debate, and I think that you have the whole history of the debate, you have the transcription and everything, that I don?t have to go inside that, because that is subjective, not objective. You have the ob- jective, and that is the debate. Mr. LIEBELER. That is?right. We do have a transcript and we listened to it on the tape last night over at the television station too. Mr. BRINGUIER. And there is something that I want to show you too. I told to you about the training camp that were across the Lake Pontchartrain. Mr. LIEBELER. Yes. Mr. BRINGUIER. [Producing newspaper.] At the beginning of August in the Diario Las Americas from Miami for September I Mr. LIEBELER. For September 4, 1963? 7 Mr. BRINGUIER. That is right. [Indicating photograph} This is the spy who was inside the training camp. The Christian Democratic Movement turned him over to the FBI, and the FBI was questioning him in Miami. The Christian Democratic Movement found a letter, according to this information, from this guy directed to Carlos Lechuga, former Cuban Ambassador to Mexico and now Cuban Ambassador to the United Nations in New York. In that letter the spy, Fernando Fernandez, that they have to be alert from that date to August 8. and the day that Oswald came trying to in?ltrate my orga- nization was on August 5. This sounds for me strange in all this matter. [Indicating] Here is another interview from Fernandez here 3 days later. Mr. You are referring to a copy of the same newspaper but for the date of September 6, 1963, on the front page of which Mr. BRINGUIER. [Indicating] Here. "Fernando Fernandez is in favor of coexistence with the Communist regime of Castro." ?That is the title in Spanish. . Mr. Lineman. Let me see if I can understand, what you are saying. You say that Fernandez wrote a letter to ?Leclmga? Mr. BRINGUIEB. Fernandez wrote a letter to Lechuga in Mexico. Mr. Lechuga is a member of the Castro government? Mr. BRINGUIER. Right. Mr. LIEBELER. He is now Ambassador to the United Nations? Mr. Bamomsa. In New York; right. . Mr. LIEBELER. Fernandez is the person?who was the Castro spy who had in- filtrated the training camp in Louisiana? Mr. BRINGUIERQ For the Christian Democratic Movement here in Louisiana. Mr. LIEBELER. Now the Christian Democratic Movement is?what? Pro- Castro? Mr. BRINGUIER. Anti-Castro. - Mr. LrsnaLsa. It is an anti~Castro organization? Mr. Bursonisa. Yes; they were training Cubans over here to make a com- mando action against Castro, but they ?nd out that there was a Castro Spy lnsidethe training camp, and they went back to Miami with the people and with him, and they turn him over to the FBI. I think that after that the leader for the Christian Democratic Movement?or that the FBI didn't found nothing, because was not against the law to Spy inside an anti-Castro organization. It was against the law to spy inside the US. Government but not inside the anti- Castro organization. And my feelingmand? this is the question that I am asking myself?in New Orleans we are about 900 miles from Miami. In Miami is where the headquarters of all the anti-Castro groups. I could not ?nd. any reason for Oswald to come to we and oifer me his service to train Cubans in guerrilla warfare at the same moment when there was a Secret anti-Castro training camp in New Orleans and a Castro spy was inside that training camp. That for me is?because, if he was willing to in?ltrate one active organization, he will go directly to.Miami and he will offer his service over there in Miami, but not in New Orleans where it is not publicly known lha. ;here was something going on at that moment. I believe that that was the only :inie here in New Orleans that 1E1d:32423622 Page 4 43 .. there was something like that, and it was-a coincidence. And there is another coincidence too for me, and that is that when Oswald left the city he went to Mexico, and the letter from Fernandez that was intercepted here was to. Mexico too, and Oswald visit the Cuban consulate in Mexico, and the Fernandez letter was to the Cuban Ambassador to Mexico. For me. that is a big doubt. Mr. LIEBELER. Go ahead. Mr. BHINGUIER. You see. after the debate, the same night of the debate, I went to the radio station here in New Orleans and the local papers and the United Press International of?ce, and I gave a press release. It you want a copy, I could give you a copy. I gave a copy to the Secret Service. The most interesting thing is the four things that I asked to the Secret Service of New Orleans. I think .that this is the second one where I said, ?Write to your Congressman asking for a full investigation of Mr. Lee H. Oswald, a confessed Marxist" [producing document]. And that was 3 months before the assassination. Mr. LIEBELEB. Do you have another copy of this? . Mr. BRINGUIER. I have the original of that. You can have that. Mr. I have marked a copy of the press release distributed to the various communications media here in. New Orleans, on August 16, 1963?? Mr. BRINGUIER. No, August 21. Mr. Lineman. August 21, 1963? Mr. Bamomsa. August 21, the night of the debate. Mr. LIEIJELEE. I mark it as ?Exhibit No. 3" to your deposition, and I have initialed it. Would you initial it? [The witness complied] . Mr. LIEBELER. Let me go over some of this testimony that you have just given to see if, I understand. Mr. Fernandez wrote to Mr. Lechuga a letter in which Fernandez said that we?meaning?the Castro people? . Mr. BRINGUIER. Yes. . Mr. LIEBELER. Must be on guard up until August 8? Mr. BRINGUIER. August 8, that is right. Mr. Of 1963? . Mr. BRINGUIER. That is right. Mr. Lmastsa. You indicated that Oswald had come to your store or o?ices on August 5. 1983? - Mr. Bamomna. That is right. Mr. LIEBELER. Oswald came to you offering to assist in the military training of Cubans? Mr. Bamamsa. That is right. Mr. LIEBELER. At that time, there was, in fact, a training camp near New Orleans Mr. Bumemaa. That is right. Mr. LIEBELER. 'For the training of people for military action against Castro? Mr. BRINGUIEB. Right. Mr. LIEBELEB. And that was not public knowledge at that time? Mr. Bamoursa. That is right. Mr. LIEBELER. So you are tying this up in. your mind by considering the pos- sibility that Oswald was, in fact, a Castro agent? Mr. BRINGUIER. That is right. Mr. LIEBELER. And did know about the existence of this training camp, be cause Mr. Fernandez had already himself in?ltrated that training camp? Mr. Bumsuxsa. That is right. Mr. And that Fernandez had told Oswald about the existence of this camp and had asked Oswald himself to try to in?ltrate that camp for your organization? Mr. Bamouma. Excuse me. Mr. Linnea'ls that correct? Mr. BRINGUIER. Well, the only thing that I don't believe is that Fernandez had told directly to Oswald. \V'hat?I believe is that Fernandez had informed some people outside the United States, and these people had informed Oswald and had gave to Oswald the order to try to in?ltrate the Cuban group here in New Orleans. 44 DucId:32423622 Page 5 Mr. Lineman.

Mr. Bnmouraa, I beg pardon? I don't understand the words. Mr. LIEBELER. As I understand, part of the hypothesis here, the theory, re- lates to the fact that Fernandez said to Lei-hugs, ?We. must he careful, or we will be in until about August 8. Now does that statement have anything to do with Oswald? Mr. Well, what I think is this: He send that letter to ileclmga. and on August 5 Oswald came to me offering his service to train Cubans, all in the same period of time. Something that. never Was happening here i'n New Orleans, that there was a secret anti-Castro training camp. and the chairman of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee trying to join the Cuban group here in New Orleans. Those are the facts. I don't want to tell something that I am not sure about. I just want to show you that tremendous coincidence or'that connection. Mr. LIEBELER. Now it doesn't seem likely, does it, that Oswald would go around handing out literature in the streets like he did if he was actually attempting to infiltrate the anti-Castro movement? Mr. Bamomsa. Remember that that was after I turned down his offer and after I told him that I don?t have nothing to do with military activities and that here there is nothing.?and that I turned down completely him. He didn't went openly to do that before the attempt to in?ltrate the training camp; he went openly to do that after he was turned down. Mr. LIEBELER. Do you know of any conceivable association between anybody in the pro-Castro movement and Oswald that could have acted as a source of information to Oswald?conducted the orders to him? Mr.Ba1NoU1sa.No Mr LIEBELER. Would you have any way of obtaining information of that sort as a result of your anti- Castro activities and contacts? If there were such a person as this do you think you would be likely to know about it? - Mr. Bamomen. Beg your pardon? Mr LIEBELER. If there were such a person that is to say, some agent of the Castro movement who had been working with Oswald. do you think that you would have had access to that information or you would have been likely to . find out about it? Mr. BRINGUIER. You see that is a hard question. because here in the city you have a lot of persons. There are some who are pro- Castro, there are many who are anti-Castro. Even among the Cubans you could have some Castro agents here in the city and you could not have control of everybody. But there is something else: The owner of the Havana Bar?the Havana Bar is located in 117 Decatur Street. just two door or three door from my store?' the owner of the Ravens Bar is a Cuban, and he and one of the employees over there, gave the information to me after Kennedy?s assassination?not before?that Oswald went to the Havana Bar one time. He asked for some lemonade. He was .with one Mexican at that moment. and when Oswald was drinking the lemonade, he start to say that, sure, the owner of that place had to be a Cuban capitalistic, and that he argue about the price of the lemonade. He was telling that that was too much for a lemonade, and he feel bad at that moment, Oswald. feel bad at that momentwehe had some vomits aml he went out to the sidewalk to vomit outside on the sidewalk. These persons here from the Havana Bar told me that the guy, the Mexican, who was with Oswald, was the same one that one time the FBI told them that if they will see him, call them immediately because that was a pro-Communist. I remember that was between August 15 and August 30 was that period of time I could not locate that because I start to ?nd out all these things after the Kennedy assassination, not before, because before I did not found any connection. They did not told nothing of this before to me. Between the 15th and the 30th the brother of the owner of the Havana Bar came to my store asking me to call the FBI, be- cause he already saw one automobile passing by the street with two Mexicans, one of them the one who had been with rswald? in the bar, and he told me 45 Page 6 NH 546 3 Fair Play for-Cuba Committee materials on one uneventful oc? casion in Dallas sometime during the period April 6-24, 19633? Oswald?s first public identi?cation with that cause was in New 01'- 'leans. There, in late. May and early June of 1963, under the name Lee Osborne, he had printed 11 handbill headed in large letters ?Hands Off Cuba,? an application form for, and a membership card-in, the New Orleans branch of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee?? He first distributed his handbills and other material uneventfully in the vicinity of the USS. Wasp, which was berthed at the Dumaine Street wharf in New Orleans, 011 June. 16, 1963.318 He distributed lite 'ature in downtown New Orleans 011 August 9, 1963, and 1 'as arrested because of a dispute with three anti? Castro Cuban exiles, and again on August 16,1963.319 Follow 111g his arrest, he 11 as interviewed the police, and at his own request, by5 an agent of the FBI. 011 August 17, 1963, he appeared brie?y 011 a radio program and 011 August 21, 1963,119 debated over radio station'l-VDSU, New Orleans, with Carlos Bi?in- guier, one of the Cuban exiles who had been arrested with him on 'August 9. 32" Brimruier claimed that on August 5, 1963, Oswald had attempted to infiltrate an anti- Castro organization 11 ith 11 Inch he 1' as associated. 3?3 thile Oswald publicly engaged in the activities described above, his ?organization? was a product of his imagination?? The imaginary president of the?nonexistent named A. J. Hide?,325 the name that Oswald used when he purchased the 11SS11ssination weapon.326 Marina Oswald said she signed that name, apparently chosen because it rhymed with ?Fidel,? 32? to her husband?s membership card. in the New Orleans chapter. She testified that he threatened to beat her if she did not do so.328 The chapter had never, been chartered by the national FPCC organization.329 It appears to have been a solitary operation 011 Oswald?s part in spite of his misstatements to the New Orleans police that it had 35 members, 5 of which were usually present at 111eeti11gs which were'held once a month?? . Oswald?s Fair Play for Cuba activities may be viewed as a very shrewd political operation in which one man single handedly created publicity for his cause or for himself. It 18 also evidence of Os? ald?s reluctance to describe events accuiately and of his need to present himself to othe1s as well as to' himself in a light more favorable than was justified by reality. This is suggested by his misleading and some- time statements in his letteis to Mr. V. T. Lee, then national director of FPCC. I11 one of those letters, dated August 1. 1963, Oswald wrote that an of?ce which he had previously claimed to have rented for activities had been ?pron'iply clOsed 3 days later for some obsnre reasons by the routers, they said something about 1e1nodeli1ig eet., I111 sure you understand. mote that ?thousands of circulai's 11 me distn?lubed and that he continued to receive inquiries through his post ollice box which he endeavored ?to keep anseuering to the best of my ability 3? In his lettei to V. T. Lee, he stated that he 11113 then alone in his efforts 011 behalf of FPCC, but he attributed his lack of support to 1111 attack by Cuban 407 DucId:32423622 Page .. 2.7: exiles in a street demonstration and being ?officialy cautioned? by the police, events which ?robbed me of what. support I had leaving me alone.? 33* - In spite of those claims, the Commission has not been able to un- cover any evidence that anyone eve - attacked any street demonstration in which Oswald was involved, except. for the Bringuier incident men- tioned above, which occurred 8 daysafter Oswald wrote the above letterto V. T. Lee.335 Bringuier, who seemed to be familiar with many anti-Castro activities in New Orleans, was not aware of any such incident.3M Police reports also fail to re?ect any activity on Oswald?s part prior to August. 9, 1903, except for the uneventful distribution of literature at. the Dumaine Street wharf in June?? Furthermore, the general "tenor of Oswald?s next letter to V. T. Lee, in which he sup- ported his report, on the Briuguier incident with a copy of the charges 'made against him and a newspaper clipping reporting the event, sug- gests that his previous story of an attack- by Cuban exiles was at least greatly exaggerated.?8 \Vhile the legend 544 Camp St. ORLEANS, was stamped On some literature that Oswald had, in his possession at the time of his arrest in New Orleans, extensive investigation was not able to connect Oswald with that address, :11: though it did develop the fact that an anti-Castro organization had maintained o?ices there for a. period ending early in 1962.339 The Commission has not been able to find any other indication that Oswald had rented an otlice in New Orleans. In view of?tli?e limited amount. of public activity on Oswald?s part before August. 9, 1063, there also seems to be no basis for his claim that he had distributed ?thousands? of circulars, especially sinee'he had claimed to have printed only 2,000 . and actually had only 1,000 printed. In addition, there is no evidence that he received any substantial amount of materials from the na- tional headquarters.? . In another letter to V. T. Lee, dated August 17, 1963, Oswald wrote that he had appeared on Mr. 1Villiam Stuckey?s 15-minute television program over called ?Latin American Focus? as a result of which he was ?flooded with callers and invitations to debate?s eet. as well-as people interested in joining the New Orleans branch.? 3? has no program of any kind called ?Latin A meri- can Focus.? 3? Stuckey had a radio pregram called ?Latin Listening Post,? on which Oswald was heard for. less than 5-minutes on August 17, 1963.? It appeals that Oswald had only one caller in response to all of his FPCC activities, an agent of Bringuier?s attempting to learn more about the true nature of the alleged FPCC ?organization? in New Orleans.? Oswald?s statements suggest that he hoped to be flooded witheallers and invitations to debate. .This would have madehim a-real center of attention as he must. have been when he ?rst arrived in the Soviet. Union and as he was to some extent when he returned to the United States. The limited notoriety that Oswald received as a reSnlt of the street fracas and in the subsequent radio debate was apparently not enough to satisfy him. He exaggerated in his letters to V. T. Lee in an appar- 408 NH 54653 Pagel? - oswm?o DISTRIBUTING FAIR ORLEANS, AUGUST 16, I963 .- BILLS ON WHICH HE HAD 51. ?Hq- it. it?? Wu. ?23?

In December, 1963, the CIA learned that 63 Page a Cuban American had crossed the border from Texas into Mexico, on November 23 and arrived in Mexico City on November 25. He stayed in a hotel until the evening of November 27, when he departed on a regularly scheduled Cubana airlines flight to Havana using a Cuban courtesy visa and an expired U.S. passport. He was the only passenger on the flight. In March, 1964 the Agency received a report from a soUrce which alleged that the same Cuban American had received a permit to enter Mexico City on November 20 in Tampa, Florida. The same source said the Cuban American was somehow involved in the assassination. The Agency did not follow up on this "report other than to ask a Cuban defector about his knowledge of the Cuban American?s.activities. The FBI did investigate the reported unusual travel but did not fully report the results of their Warren Commission. Their investigation showed that this individual had lived in Tampa and Key West and was pro- -Castro. He had traveled to Cuba in May of 1962 and had a brother in the Cuban military who was studying in the Soviet Union. On November 17, 1963, the Cuban American was at a get-together at the home of a member of the Tampa chapter of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee. This was the same Fair Play for Cuba Committee that Oswald had possibly contacted in May of 1963. Book V, p. 63?64 NH 54653 Page 31 In March of 1964, the Warren Commission requested from Director Hoover information on certain pro- Castro and anti-Castro organizations which were active in the U.S. including the Fair Play for Cuba Committee, and Alpha 66, among. others. The Bureau furnished less than a full and satisfactory response and did not disclose the fact that the CIA had operational interests in certain of the entities inquired about. Book V, p. 65 The FBI reports on Alpha 66 furnished . the Warren Commission noted the attack on the Soviet vessel.in March of 1963 but did not detail that group's continued activity in planning and carrying out their military Operations against Cuba. The FBI reports did not Show that Alpha 66 had been involved rwith the New Orleans anti-Castro train- _ing camp. NH 54653 Page 32 _-Book V, p. 65 It is known that the CIA took an interest in the Fair Play for Cuba Committee with which Oswald was associated. According to Bureau documents, the Agency advised the Bureau that they were considering the use of disinformation that might embarass the Committee in areas where the Committee had support. HHS-1653 Page-33 Book V, p. 72 In late July 1964, an FBI informant reported that the CIA was meeting with; AMLASH for the purpose of assassinating Castro. Informant also reported that AMLASH was unhappy with the CIA's efforts and that Attorney General Kennedy had refused to support the plan but that the - plan had not been completely put to rest, This information was not disseminated outside the-Bureau at the request of the informant.A But the Bureau notations indicate that the Bureau was looking into an underworld plot against Castro that might be coincidental with the AMLASH plan. The Bureau had first been informed.of AMLASH-CIA meetings in October 1963. That information did not indicate assassination involvement. NH 54653 Page 34 Book V, p. 74-75 54653 Page 35 .

Operations From the operational viewpoint, the port of Havana is the only Cuban port that is organised and Equibpcd to provide adequate support and facilities for the bulk of the Cuban fishing fleet. All of the Cuban fishing vessels known Operating on the high?seas outside Cuban waters operate from the port of havana. However, many small fishing torts exist along the Cuban coast which are capable of CD servicing small coastal fishing craft. The smaller Cuban fishing vessels limit their fishing activities to Cuban waters and in nearby waters of the Gulf of Mexico, The larger vessels have extended their activities into the Caribbean, into the South and central Atlantic and, during the current fishing . season, Cuban vessels are known to have ventured as far north as i the Georges Banks'fishing grounds.

And we, together with our allies, must ?a carefully allocate our defense effort to ensure that we can meet the . challenge on every front and at every leVel. An assessment of the present and prospective international situation and the military programs of our principal opponents is therefore highly pertinent to any discussion of- the Defense program and budget. 7? B. ASSESSMENT OF THE INTERNATIONAL SITUATION AS IT BEARS ON MILITNRY POLICIES AND. PROGRAMS Last year, when our attention was focused particularly on the Berlin fiff?Nr crisis, I pointed out that the Defense program we were recommending was geared to our global requirements over the long-term, and not simply to 'the immediate situation as it then Obtained. Since that time, the Nation and, indeed, the whole world has gone through another crisis, precipitated again by the Soviet union, this time in cube. I believe it is clear from the actions taken by the President last October that the United States *._Government viewed with the greatest concern the sudden intrusion of Soviet offensive weapons in Cuba, only 90 miles from our own shores. However, as- acute as this crisis was, and the after-effects have yet to be fully liquidated, it did not then and should not now distract our attention from? the more fundamental and far-reaching challenge which Communism poses to the Free world. Without in any way minimizing the grave threat to our national security which would have _been posed by Soviet nuclear armed ballistic missiles in cubs, or, for that matter, the Soviet military 'presence in that country, those missiles represented but a small part Iof the total Communist threat to Freedom. Even while the Soviet Union was attempting to extend its offensive military power directly into Cuba, the undeclared war against the Government of South Vietnam.continued and a new overt military aggression was launched .against India by the Chinese Communists. In Europe, Soviet pressure on the Allied position in Berlin continued unabated. In the Rear East, the Communists were seeking to make inroads in the Arabian peninsula. In Africa, their efforts to exploit dissension and unrest in the Congo had I .Vri?been temporarily thwarted by the actions of the united Nations._ All of? .- these crises or prdbing actions are simply the more obvious manifestation!) A of the Communist drive toward their basic objective of world domination. I-VZH This objective is held by both the Soviet Union and Conmrunist 5 - China, but very distinct differences in tactics have become apparent. ,And, indeed, there is increasing evidence that the apparent monolithic structure of world Communism has been fractured, perhaps irreparably'. There is emerging a bi-polarization of power in the Communist camp, the .m56, Chinese Communists trying to capture control of the Communist revolution uggf?f; N. and the Soviet Communists seeking to retain their present leadership. - I I). Fania:- F1 .31 Judi Although we gr-draw some comfort from this Aing out between the Communist giants, the world situation remains perilous, nevertheless. - - The destruction of freedom and free nations is still the ultimate objective . _of both countries, but each is seeking to attain the Objective in its own way, and to capture the spoils for itself. - 3 Oddly enough, in this struggle for power in the Communist camp, the a weaker of the two rivals is by far the more belligerent and the more reckless, and therefore, very dangerous to the peace of the world. -The ?a .i reason for this_difference is not hard to find. :The Soviet Union, after 3 ,ga i #5 years of unrelenting sacrifice and deprivation, is finally.emerging 3 from its status as a "have not" nation. mainland China, however, after 13 years of Communist rule, has barely, if at all, made a start toward self-sufficiency. Her economic condition is desperate. The Soviet ghion.z;7s" . today has a great deal to lose in a nuclear war -- material wealth as well as human life. The economically impoverished Chinese Communists, . 7 -. to whom human life has little value, believe they have much less to lose. . - It is not surprising, therefore, that the Red Chinese are much more ready 'g?f - ,than the Soviet leadership to risk even nuclear war. And, indeed, the Chinese Communists have been quick to take the road of active belligerencyi?gf?. in Korea,'in Tibet and nOW'in India. - . But While war and the threat of.war have occupied most of g7; our attention, we_must not neglect the fact that the struggle with Commism is continuing through other means. As long as serious political -.- and economic instability exists in any part of the world, the will have an opportunity to enlarge the area of the struggle. Even now gath ?v they continue to demonstrate their_ability to take quick advantage of a any breakdown of law and order in any part of the world and to identify with any change in the status quo or with-any emerging threat .to existing authority. In this regard, there has been no change in the policy of the :gagg- -Soviet Union to encourage what Mr. Khrushchev calls "wars of national liberation" or ?popular revolts", and which we know as cOvert armed aggression, guerrilla warfare and subversion. And the Soviet Union has not diminished its efforts through the more subtle means of economic and military aid, political intrigue and propaganda to win over the neutral and emerging nations of the world to the cause of Communism. From Africa to the Near East, from Southeast Asia to Latin America, the pattern Q?g? is the same. we may expect that the struggle in this area will intensify and.ue be prepared to meet the challenge53v: "It . 3 I Latin America Although-the Cuban crisis has greatly solidified the unity and_ . cohesion of the American states, the threat of-Communism.has by no means, _3 . ?7 . abated, and a Communist government still rules in cuba. {Our A i Mi, .9321: 5 . response to the. t.at of armed aggression from C?no doubt has dimin- ., ished for the present the military aSpect of the threat. But this simply . means that Communist efforts will be shifted to other areas, and the Castroist Communist sabotage last fall in venezuela is but one of the more violent examples of this danger. More important from the longer term point of view is the fundamental instability engendered by the- widespread lack of adequate economic progress. So long as hunger and economic instability persist in Latin America, the danger of Communism will be ever present. Indeed, it is not an overt-armed Communist attack that is the real danger in this part of the world, or even Communist . sabotage and subversion the real danger lies in the discouragement, -g tif-E.? . disillusionment and despair of the people as a result of the relatively i slow rate of economic and social progress. :13 ?any? 4-, 1?99?? ex:- 3; ?iv: Prior to fiscal year 1962, U. 8. military assistance to Latin America E{fl??u- was geared to a concept of hemispheric defense which envisaged the direct participation by Latin American forces in any large-scale conflict. A . thorough review of the program convinced us that, except for specific cases where properly equipped naval and air forces could make a signifi-' . cant contribution to the solutibn of the anti-submarine warfare injpn;_5 this concept of hemispheric defense was becoming increasingly unrealistic.ygi??' . The'main threat in Latin America today is that-of Communist subversion. 5' and indirect attack, and not overt military aggression from outside the fx?tdv? hemisphere. Accordingly, about one-half of the approximately $75 million -- ii per year of military assistance which the united States is presently - providing for Latin America is devoted to equipment and training for internal g; security purposes, with special emphasis on counterinsurgency training. - The major portion of the balance is directed to the support of selected.ASW' 'mg forces. Although we fully recognize that the problem is essentially 3gp. political and economic, the maintenance of law and order is an essential ;4 prerequisite to social and economic progress. 7 I In addition to internal security, our program is also designed to contribute to economic and social development through what we call "civic?'} . action" projects. These projects, in such fields as agriculture, trans-' 51V-ffpportation, communications, health and sanitation, are beneficial to the t? f?i?ef: people generally. Outstandingly'suecessful programs of this sort have - Qg'a .f . -been conducted in Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Columbia and Honduras. Here . recently we have instituted a similar program in Equador and we are -. currently developing projects for other Latin American countries, including: i, . 'El Salvador, Guatemala and Peru. Civic action.projects are jointly funded ?by the Military Assistance Program and AID, with MAP providing the military ?r equipment and related. training. But the Military Assistance Program will not in itself solve the ?p7g5 "pr6blem.of political instability which arises from the continued economic 3 . difficulties in much of Latin America, and herein lies the real danger of ?fir,fj - future Communist penetration._ It was to meet .this more fundamental problem .: ?l'el\ 1 . ."ft'li?

In recent months public attention has fecused to such a degree on the Soviets? arms buildup in 'Cuba that it has tended to overshadow communist subversive activities throughout Latin America, aided in many ways by 5 Cuba and other bloc cOuntries; "The _problem of extra?continental totalitarian. powers trying to subvert established governments in this hemisphere '1s ?at new.3 During.

Since 1948; in the aftermath- . of the communist seizure of power in Czechoslovakia, the 1nter-American community has been dealing with the problem of communist-subver51on promoted by countries of the Sino- Soviet b.10c, now supported by Cuba. I I mention this at the outset to point out that the AmeriCan _Governments were this issue long before there Was a communist Cuba, and I expect they will be doing '50 after Cuba is free again. DEVELOPMENTS NT orecowmuwlsm Palo?fro The establishment of the communist parties in Latin America has taken place in at least five waves Ior phases. _During the first of these, from 1918 to 1922, parties were . hijformed in the five coUntries where the industrial revolution had made the most headway and_where the labor movement had begun to acquire national prominence. While thegfiveoriginal commUnist parties were building on socialist or anarchist foundations during the 1920's, entirely new communist and "*cemmunist-oriented groups Iwere emerging in a majority of the. other Latin American republics . In Ieach case, the communist organizations in the second waveI had to contend wit more serious oIbstacles than their predeceSSors had initially faced. These handicaps included the almost- complete abSence of lIabor v'organizations, little or no tradition-of radicaleolitical move- ments; and supprIession of Opposition ngoups by regimes that were ther highly authoritarian or ou tright dictatorships. At the sixth congress in 1928, the Comintern adopted the line that Soviet historians have since identified_ with theI so- called "third period" of the Communist Inte rnational. This line 1 called If or communists everywhere to dec_lare themselves Ias suCh, to Cease cooperat1on with "bourgeois" aInd "leftists reformist"- - e1?ments, and to establish purely commun ist organizations which . should strive to- foment and seizeI the leadershi of proletarian revolutionsI. -l 2 . ,2 NH 54214 Dueld?aa?anaa page 110 'revolutions. Repercussions were felt in every phase of communist I activities in Latin America. . With respect t6 their political I apparatus, the Comintern directives made it clear that in pIg?gfgpicountries where communists operated within other parties every effort should be made Ito convert these parties to ftli- fledged Icommunist organizations. During 1929- 1931, three new parties were a1so organized, bringing the number of countries wi th communist parties to seventeen. I I I The Ifourth wave of communist organiIzational activity in Latin America, from- the mid-1930's to the mid-1940's, can be I sudeiVided into three periods, each corresponding to a dis_tinotI I- ,IepiSode in the annals Iof the international IcommunistI movIement. _The$e were the periods of the Popular Front, which had begun in L'_Lat in America ny the Hitler-Stalin pact from 1939 to JuneI 1941, and the remaining yearsI of tIhe Second worid Iwar. I During theIse same years, half a dozen partiesI abandoned th?f communist label withqut changing their political orientation, ?while communist parties were _also established in the remaiIning Ithree Latin American countries which did not already have them. The fifth and current phase deserves a fuller treatment, I including a diScussion of Soviet bloc activities, of some. real importance for the first time.

In Argentina and Uruguay, the main theaters of Soviet operation during this period, the Soviets made no lasting political gains.

COMMUNIST EFFORTS SINCE THE ADVENT OF CASTRO Since 1959 the general pattern of communist subversion in the hemisphere shows a continuation, though on Ia much - stepped- -Up scale, of the tactics of infiltration, pepular front. {.action and insurgency, but with a marked shift toward more violence. Local groups have greatly benefitted from the receipt of far more outside help, especially from Cuba, than heretofore. This has coincided with the advent of Castro and the sharpening of differences between Moscow and Peking on the tactics to be followed inI pressing forward the communist campaign of world "domination. The Soviets undoubtedly regard Latin America as an area offering unuSual possibilities, but they themselves have- .Ibeen cautious in their tactics, except where special opportunities have developed,_as in the case of Cuba, On'the other hand, there is no eVidence that_they-have in any way restrained CUba'or local '1cOmmunist parties from violende of.many forms. 5The Strategy and Tactics of the CaStro Regimer The strategy of the Castro regime from Ithe beginning, deSpite '_5a11 the disclaimers, has remained one of exporting its evolution?- ?-30f _converting the Andes into the Sierra Maestr a of the Americ as, ?T,as Cas tro stated in l_959._1n its tactics the Castro regime has 1' been changeable; During. the first six month of 1959 in the flush victory it sponsored armed expedi against several Caribbean "?countries.

Imperialist i, v- I Strugg1eI Movement and the Guatemalan Information Committee, to Ibroadcast systematic and hostile propaganda designed to bringI downfall of the governmentIs in those countries. I To estimat the amount of Cuban printed material that is I smuggledI into the other countries of the hemisphere is im- lipoIssible. But we can poinIt to a few glaring examples where they 3 in have been caught red -handed. Last October in Ch11e, a- large? 7 cratIe weighing 1800 pounds, and sent by the Cuban Government I54214? ndb1a:32424094 Page 113 'to its EmbasSy at S-antiago, was documented as "samples of Cuban products and cultural. and commercial material". Upon ?being opened by Chilean authorities, the packages found inside the box contained Cuban propaganda addressed to various Chileans .who a few months before had visited Cuba. The Chilean Govern- pent addressed a_stern proteSt to the Cuban.Embassy in the face [of this outrageous effort to introduce Castro propaganda into Chile_surreptitiously. Similarly, in Mexico inerbruary 1962, Mexican?customs authorities seized a large quantity-of Castro- communist propaganda that the Cuban Minister oszducation, Armando Davalos, brought with him. to Mexico and tried to introduce 1 into the country during an official visit . Another form of support of subversive activities - and one which is difficult to trace - is the furnishing of funds to subversive groups. Castro'reportedly donated recently $15, 000 to a violent, extremist group in Colombia called ?the-United Front for Revolutionary Action. The Cuban Govern- ment has also given financial aid to the le.ftist subversive activities of the pro?Castro ReVolutionary Union of Ecuadorean 7Youth (URJE), which has- been involved in guerrilla activi ties ifin Ecuador, The Quito radio on January 29 brOadcast a letter ii-Viisent to them by Pablo PAEZ, a young member of URJE who had _recently been expelled from the group, in which he publicly 5.

Otherwise, diplomatic relations continue to be maintained with the same few countries in Latin America as before (Cuba, Argentina,Uruguay and Mexico) and no significant expansion of trade has taken place. One may cite as a clear setback the caSe of Argentina, where-little use a has been made of the $100 million credit extended by -the USSR in 1957 (because of the unavailability or inadequacy of merchandise) and where the Soviet and ?other bloc embassies have been forced to reduce the size of their staffs at Argentine demand.

There is a coincidence of strategic views between much Latin American dissident communist thinking and that of theChinese communists. our evidence suggests that the older communist leaders in the area tend to favor the Moscow viewpoint, while the Iygunger,-hotteriheaded elements in the communist.movement find themselves leaning toward thaCuban?ChineSe communist ,stratIegy. As time brings less and less prospects of success via the "peacefu? path" there seems good reason to think that more and more Latin American communists will incline toward violent overthrow as their only possib le means to gain power. This: does net necessarily ?is 'Imean capture of the Latin American parties by the Chinese; 'they do not appear to have the capability to provide the necessary material support. It would appear that on balance the Soviet and Cuban' and effecFiVeness, as distinguished from those frof local partiesIP have suffered a setbackjlargely as a evm?igI -the result of the crisis of October l962, but also/increasingly effects of Idisorienting the Sino-Soviet quarrel. Conditions in certain Hm 54214 DucId:32424094 Page 12? -1919 certain areas of Latin America; however, continue to be chnducivef the growth of-communist influence and conseduently to penatration by Soviet states and parties. The lack of spectacular successes in recent years Should not be taken as a Sign that either external Qr internal communist forces in Latin America have given up their attempts to overturn the eXisting order_or are unable to do so. Balance Sheet on Communism in Latin American sinCe.l959 So far I have_been talking primarily about activities 'or influences brought to bear_by the Soviet bloc and Cuba on Latin America. But the Communist parties there have a life and force of their own and are not wholly; -dependent on outside nounshment or guidance by any means. Their strength and activities are matters of major interest and muSt now be analyzed in some detail. The communist apparatus in Latin American made significant progress.during 1959, 1960 and-1961 and ?came to-have greater self?confidence and optimism than any time since the end of the war._ 'Rather than in? ?terms of membership or electoral success, this progress- appeared in better linkage with the international communist movement, partly through Cuba; and in the' .improved atmoSphere for operations in many countries. Especially during 1959 and _early 1960, this was closely -'related to the appeal of the Cuban revolution. [Even 'after disillusionment with Castro began_to set in among many EH 54214 ?";many Latin American leftists, Cuba provided an important regional headquarters which continued to provirde' valuable VSupport and services to the Latin American communists. Durlng this three? ?year period the communists made I headway in finding 1ndigen0us leftist and nationalist groups diSposed to make common cause with them.' Up until 1962 they made significant gains among students and intellectuals and to a lesser degree in urban trade unions. With heavy bloc support, propaganda activities were sustained at a higher level than ever before. Although 1962 was one of the most active and eventful1 'years in the history of the Latin American communist. movement, it closed with little if any net overall further gain for the communist parties in terms.of numbers or influence. In fact-in some countries there (were.some at least temporary losses. The highlights of a year-end balance sheet look something like this: In the polimate of change and crisis that prevailed' during 1962, the noncommunist forces of the revolutionary Aleft rather than the communist parties themselves appeared to be the main gainers_. The communiSts had little.to Ishow in terms of _gains in party membership or- vote ?following, and internal factionalism inorea sed sharply, in part. because many old line leaders responded only V-feebly to their opportunities. Nevertheless in an overall situation Du?Id: 3242-4094 Page 123 NH 54214 situation not unfavorable to revolutionary appeals, thIe communists in 1962 were pursuing vigorOusly with Tacdwcak seme success a11 three of their standard Iines, yeh'g: adapted to Ithe local Situations in wh1ch each seemed 'ItId offer most promise of success infiltration, popular fronts and terroroy Infiltration succeeded best in Brazil. 'Communist- hacked candidates in the October 1962 elections, while they did notfkn??exceptionallyIwell in tho country as a whole,.won important victories in certain key states. On the_other hand the outstanding division in a communist party in LatinIAmerica during 1962 took place in.BrazilI' Where the Communist Party1BGB), was confronted by an organiZed rival party. '1312 Carlos Prestes has for the . last eight years led the PCB on a "soft" line and concentrated upon the quest for legality, During 1961 leftist dissidentS, led by three.ex?members of the PCB .presidium and five other former central committee members,? accused Prestes and his associates of revisiOniSm and I r1ghtist deviation. ?EXpelled as divisionists, the_ 7 dissidents organized early in 1962, taking the name Communist Party of Brazil and claiming to he the legitimate PCB. Dedicated revolutionaries-who are -convinced that they will come to lead the communist movement in Brazil, the dissidents, Who so far_are relatively DucId:32424094 Page 129 relatively small in_number, have actively'sought recognition from other communist parties.and the Castro iregime, Unlike the Prestes they are actively . preparing for guerrilliwarfare. I. I'The peaceful, pOpular front roadto pomer has been followed by the communist movement in Chile more faithfully then by any other party. The well?established Chilean Communist Party had good reason for this policy because its prOSpects for coming to power through success at the polls by pOpular front groups to which 'it belongs remain considerably brighter-than those-of? Wany other Latin American Communist Party, Allied ?or - Iyears with the Socialist Party and other leftist elements in the Popular Action Front (FBAP), which narronly missed Ielecting its Socialist candidate president in l958, the obtained nearly 12 per cent of the vote in the March _l961 congressional elections; With their eyes fined upon the 196u presidential elections, again with a. socialist candidate, the Chilean communists giVe top 'priOrity to maintaining the FBAP and avoiding any pactions which might jeopardize the legal Status which the regained in 1958. A Even so, during the past year ideolOgical and: Vitactical differences between the communists and the socialists became more evident than in the pest, and .strains 54214 DuoId:32424094 Page 130 NH 54214 strains- within the FBAP became acute.' At Ithe same time evoices within the advocated developing guerrilla 'capab1l1t1e8?aga1nst the eventuality that force might be used to keep the communists- from enjoying the fruits of electoral victory. Thus the like most other Latin American communist parties, is confronting_the Choice between the peaceful road and violent revolution _or_guerrilla warfare, and tries to make its-choiCe_in the light of relative_ prOSpects for success.? The ?ambivalence in many parties stems from disagreement jamong party leaders over just this point. The\ch01ce of viOlent action showed most dramatically in Venezuela, but also in Peru and to some extent in Brazil. I will discuss this increasingly important trend . more fully later on. In Bolivia the orthodox Communist Party (PCB) so _far sees its road to power through continued successful infiltration of the Left Sector of the National Revolutionary Movement (MNB) . The Guatemalan Labor (communist)Partyl (PGT) has officially adOpted a policy of preparing for 'any_ form of struggle. -In El SalVador the party undertook some guerrilla training on a minor scale during 1962. ?_Iancuador there has been a shift_in tactics-following ?fthe diplomatic break with Cuba in April. 'It became apparent DucId:324i4094 Page 131 7.. - ., ?a 54214 vapparent that further gains through peaceful political means were unlikely, and at the 7th Ecuadorean Communi_St Part.y (PCE) Congress strong sentiment in favor of early (Tviolent revolution became part _of the official PCE line. In Mexico the communist movement was already fragmented. Dissensionover activism was only one of the divisive facto?swhiCh worked during 1962 to Split the communiSt movement in Mexico into half a dozen feuding factions, none of m_ajor consequence. On.the labor front in Latin America there were few major changes _in the pelitical orientation of the 'leadership in l962. Those which took place were mixed 'in character with gains for democratic trade unionism somewhat outweighing losses. On the positive side, We note the failure of the communiSt uni.ons_ to form a "neutralist? Latin American Confederation of Workers in Chile in September 1962. We may also cite the elimina- tion of communist inf_luence from important unions in Venezuela and Mexico, defections. from communist? controlled . .union organizations in Bolivia, the launching of a_ V.?democrat.ic national confederation of labor in Ecuador and the emergence Of a strong anti? communist federation as the dominant factor in Dominican labor I The appeal of communism for Latin American univer31ty students as a shortcut to the solution of all problems seems DucId:32424094 Page 132 . NH 54214 seems on balance to have declined during the ear. ,1n- 'fS?v?rai important universities a reactionenpears to have, et 1n, reflecting dlsillu51onment w1th communist excesSeS home and abroad .by extreme leftists formerly disposed I Vto accept communlst view and actions uncritically, and {:1greater act1v1ty and un1ty by the noncommunists, everywhere ithe great majority numerically. For example, in Mexico i'a liberal- moderate Slate was elected in the November student elections at the huge National University, which has been a prime communiSt target ever since the 'Communist Party found it could not capture the labor movement. For the first time in recent history, the communist candidate was defeated in student elections at MeXico City's important National Polytechnic Institute. 'The Communist Party Was reported to be "extremely unhappy" -, over these developments. At the University Lf Buenos 'Aires almost half of the communist dominated "Reformist" .

HH 54214 7Increased Trend Toward Violence I As I noted earlier, there is a marked Itrend toward Twiolence in certain areas in Latin America, reflecting Cuban purging as. well as the necessities of I6ca1 movements: which 'find'themSelves more and more isolated. Newhere -is it more ievident than in Venezuela where, since January of last year,. ?the communists have made a determined, but unsuccessful -effort to_overthrow the Betancourt Government. ?During 1962, under cemmunist leadership, the terroristIand guerrilla -units were reorganized into the "Armed Forces of National LiberatiIon" (FALN). In the interior they have attempted to ?establish guerriIlla bands with not much success, largely because. of the vigilance of the Venezuelan armed forces and athe coOperation of. the rural population in whose welfare President Betancourt has taken so muchIinterest. In the cities - especially Caracas they are waging a campaign of sabotage and terrorism. Hememade pipe bombs are placed 'about the city; hit and run raids have been perpetrated in a which -houses and sometimes policemen are shot with submachine 'xguns from speeding cars.I Attempts haIve been made, some '7 successfully, to burn warehouses of foreign enterprises.' In: these activities, police and law enforcement officiaIls have been kill ed or wounded and bystIanders have been frequently onndedI 'Page 135 . . . - . .1 .. -. ,VeIawounded in croSSfire or by bomb fragments. Fore1gn;owned' instal.lations in the interi_or have been constant targets. 1-5 -The extr emists carr-ied out their most spectacular act _of I . -sabotage in Dotober 1962 when they blew up four strategic.- - transformer stations belonging to the Standard Oil of New E, 'Jersey Lake Maracaibo complex. Testimony taken by the Venezuelan Government from two of the saboteurs who .were i . 'captured clearly demonstrates that _it was done on orders of 'the-CommuniSt Party in Maracaibo. And this week we had the '-_spectacu1ar boat highjacking by several communists, pdblicity stunt, pure and simple. I ?Ihroughout this campaign the democratic government of. ?President Betancourt has demonstrated determination and an ability to deal with the situation. Press accounts have hperhaps given outsiders an exaggerated impresSien of the .Caracas scene, where life. goes on pretty calmly. I am: reminded of the popular- impression of Chicago in the early '30 -an impreSsion gr eatly exaggerated for I lived there' and like millions of others never came _close to a shooting i' . - In Peru we have another dramatic example of the increase inc tempo of communist- inspired subversion and Violence.. For ?the ast several months, in an agricultural area of the ?jAnd ean Department of Cuzco, communist agitators, emany- of whom?a i7? re rained in Cuba, have been ab.le to foment an_ armed peasant i15H? 54214 Page 136 igpeasant dissident movement that has been responsible for the. forceful seizure of lands, armed attacks, and considerable I =f bloodshed La_St December, Castro communist agitators sub- iChiverted a Strike at the smelter of the American owned Cerro 'Corporation at La Oroya in the central Andes, seized control 5 i of the installation, and caused about $4 million worth of 3_ - damage. Early in January, following a strike that had been settled between the management and the legitimate trade union leaders, communist agitators persuaded workers on two Peru- .vian- -Owned sugar plantations near Chiclayo on the north coast, to damage install-ations and fire cane fields about a 1 'million dellars of damage in all. These were the most CASES ,dramatic cases, but there were many other.anea?unts of Castro- l-COmmunist-fomented inCidents by workers, peasants, and. students; I I In the face of this growing pattern of communist-inspired ":violence and subversion, the Peruvian overnment On January 5 'cracked down on the communists and Castroists, arresting about ., 1 ea.thousand of them. The overnme_nt announced at the same time the discovery of a Castro- -communist plot, master-minded ?from _abroad, of which these intidents were only the first steps in what was to be an increasing of- disorder, i-Iiterrorism, and revolutionary activity. I After screening those '[arrestedgl JG 1.311 cud-t 1hr 54214 Page v1 I I - . . 1...-.V..-- M..- . 1.*'arrested, the authorities have announced'that they plan to h5?bring to trial 212 persons.

I Persistent reports of smuggling and stocking of arms vhave also been received, In one recent instance, a cache' of arms was reportedly seized at Dianopolis in a remote ?,region of the State of Goias and some 26 persons arrested . for alleged subversive activity. In_ another instance, Rio de Janeiro police arrested one Clodomir Santos do Morais, a :lawyer for the Peasant Leagues, while he was transporting a ?clandestine Shipment of arms from Rio to the interior. 'Morais was also in possession of. the calling card of a Soviet diplomat assigned to Brazil which card reportedly bore an inscription from the diplomat to Juliao.. Finally, there is the well- publicized instance of the documents found in the crashed Varig airliner outside Lima - documents which are said to contain detailed reports of activities in Brazil NH 54214 Page 133 .. .. 54214 - . ?sum~31a Brazil to give-guerrilla training in Connection with peasant -violence.

I mention this I 'only to point out that this violence is not primarily communist inspired or directed; although there is reason to believe they are attempting to take adVantage of the situau tion. Violence in Colombia is banditry rather than insur- gency. 32424094 Page 139 Hy) )4 NH 54214 . I . STEPS.WE ARE TAKINGI TO COMBAT COMMUNIST SUBVERSION In the face of the communist subversive offensive in the hemisphere, there .ariSes the question of what the U. S. - and the other American Republics are doing to meet it. Success in combatting this offensive will, of course, ?depend greatly on the will and ability ofzthe American 'governments to act and to coordinate their effOrtstith each other. It is important to keep in-mind that what' -we are concerned with are problems and situations which 3 exist in nineteen as properly wen?re. .m . 'jealous of their independenceI as_ we are. Although we are inter4dependent and allied by geography, common origins and ?the regional security system of the OAS, we are all also firmly committed in inter~American treaties to the principle of non?intervention in each other' interna 1 a1 fairs. Indeed, the violation of this prinCiple by the Soviet and Castro~ directed communists creates'the problem we are talking about.I From this it is evident that, so far as the US.

In this regard, the missile criSis proved to be of A'inestimable value in unmasking the Castro regime, previously regarded/ggm a for a new Latin American~type_ revolution, as just one more tool of Moscow. The inept;j- tudeof Cuban leaders, coupled with the success of our efforts to deprive ?Cuba' DucId:32424094 Page 142 Minn??-I;Cuba of access to the industrialized markets of the free A World, lhas?brought about serious economic deterioration :{in the island-.

The_Department of Defense is also making anti-Castro and anti?communist material available to the armed forces in these countries for use in troop information and education programs. A - A gauge of the success of our efforts to discredit and isolate the Cuban regime is to be found_in the inabilityof the extreme left to organiZePanti?American public demonstra- tions of any significant proportions during the critical?- days of the missile crisis. One is reminded.of the oft- repeated boast of the regime of how the hemisphere would rise in defense of Cuba if measures were taken against it. The record showsotherwise. Only in Bolivia and Uruguay were popular demonstrations of any size mounted and only in rVenezuela DucId:32424094 Page 144 NH 54214 Venezuela were there any effective sabotage efforts. 'Minor" protest meetings, student marches, and bombings were reported from other countries, but were regarded even by Communists themselves as failures in terms of generating popular Opposition to the action of the United States., In Colombia it appeared that the immediate reaction of the communist party and other extremists was defensive, and, rather than attempting to organize demonstrations, they avoided hostile action. In Chile there were only small, limited demonStrations, despite much propaganda and planning lacti on by the extreme left during the preceding months calling for demonstrations and strikes if the United States -were to aCt against Cuba. Pro- Cuban elements in Ecudaor made a major, though Somewhat uncoordinated, effort to protest United-States and 'OAS?actions.? These efforts were almost totally unsuccessful. "lDespite vitriolic attacks by extreme leftist publicatiOns and the-exhortations of party leaders, there were only minor demonstrations in Guayaquil and Quito. In Peru, front States ?organizations organiZed anti~United/rallies.

H-United States Internal Security Programs 3" .United States internal security programs_, it should be ade clear at the outset, are only undertaken at the request .1j.o_r the Latin American governments and can only be- a modest ?~;;anfaddition to their an efforts. They and their peoples must decide QhatI sometiQes kill Iand beI killed NH 54214 *[for this 13 a atItle to the death. Whereas the problem for the United States in strengthen?'I ing Latin American cooperation towards hemispheric security ?had, until the advent of the Castro movement, been largely one Iof developing the capability of the Latin American countries ?to make a -contribution to collective defense, the .primary problem has now become the maintenance of internal law and order againSt communist? inspired violence. It_ became apparent in 1960 With the avowed intention of the Castro regime to promote -the overthrow of Latin American _goIvernments by indirect aggreSsion and subversion, that he security of nearly every government in the hemiSphere would be jeopardized, in varying degrees. In anticipation that many countries would be confronted with _communist- inspired disorders, terrorism, sabotage, and possibly guerrilla operations, a careful and intensive assess- ment was made by the United States, in cooperation Qith the Icountries, of the potential security threat to each country with?the' DucId:32424??4 Page 14? --43- with the View to?!Le immediate development a implementation of.:he United States military assistance and training programs reoriented to this new danger. Where critical deficiencies in the capability of local security forces were found, we- thus were able to- respond to reques ts to provide appropriate": materiel, training and services under our military assistance and public_safety programs to-make up such deficiencies. This assistance is being provided for the control of. communist-inspired civil disturbances, for vigilance and control of movements of subversioasand arms inside those coUntries _and across their borders, and for the maintenance of observation .A'and patrol of rural areas for detection and dispersion of NH 54214 ?lguerrilla movements. . During the'past two years increased emphasis has been placed on training selected Latin American military personnel in riot control, counter-guerrilla operations and tactics,_ iintelligence and counterhintelligence, public information, warfare, counter-inSUrgency and other_subjectsl which will contribute to the maintenanaaof public order_and *the support of constitutional governments; These courses are given at United States military schools at Fort Gulick, Canal . '.ZOne and at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. In assessing the internal security situation in Latin- AmeriCa., we found that the civil police forces in many of the countries wanted assistance in police administration, training DucId:32424094 Page 143 . .e41-' training and operational techniques and particularly required greater mobility and more _adequate systems of communications, largely related to riot centrol and other?threatsI to public :?Iorder.~ Consequently, the public safety program which is an integral part of the AID ProgramJis designed to meet these requests. I In this connection, a regional Inter?American Police Academy was established last year in the Canal Zone to which we Iinvite selected members of Latin American civil police forces 'for training in organization, administration, riot control, _reeords, and investiIgations.' Closely allied to and an integral part of our inIternal esecurity programs are civic action programs which are designed _to Contribute to economic and social development and to establish a better rapport between the forces of order and the civilian population. if the Latin AmeriIcan military and public safety forces are to win popular support fcrI the measures that may be necessaryI to curb such ViolenCe, they must establish themselves - in he public mind as a constructive, economically responsible NH 54214 Velement in the na tional life.

'E?itheir agents and the organizations which they control llfhas 1ncreased 1n 1nten81ty ?3'Concern1ng this Offensive they sa1d: "The purpose Of this offensive is the destruct? 1on of democratic institutions and the estab- 11shment of totalitarian d1ctatorships at _the service of extracontinental powers. The ?outstanding facts in this intensified offensive 'are the declarations set forth in official documents of the directing bodies of the- international communist movement, that one of its principal objeCt1ves is the establish? ?ment of communist regimes in the underdeveloped countries and in Latin America; and the existence of a Marxist Leninist government in Cuba which is publicly aligned with the doctrine and .foreign policy of the communist powers." ,I-want to n0te_that this assessment was unanimously approved, with the sole.exception of the Cuban delegation. Based on'this finding the Foreign Ministers established OAS procedures for assiSting thegovernments to eet- the challenge. They directed the Council of_ [the 0 AS: maintain all necessary vigilance, for the .?purpose of warning against any acts of aggres? ?sion, subversion, or dangers to peace and security, or the preparaE1 an of such acts, Vresulting from the continued inE?rvenEion of? Sine?Soviet powers in this hemisphere,_and to make recommendations to the.governments of the . member states with regard thereto." At the same time they made provision for-the establish; ment of the SCCS,composed of experts on security matters, to DucId:32424194 Page 151 He 54214 DunId:3242E094 Page 152 . . I . s; . 37V-1.:toV advise_ the Council and the member g0vernments, upon request, on technical problems in this field. . The sets was organized 135?? $1??ng and has 4_ fOrmally met in three series of seSSions since that ?time:. to prepare an initial general report On communist subversive activities, to advise the Dominican Government on hem to deal with communist subversion, and to assist in the preparation of studies on subversion for the Cduncil. The Council meanwhile has established a special committee of itsV own, composed of _governmental repre? sentatives, to carry outiis vigilance responsibilities. Both groups in recent weeks have been working together on special studies requested by :the Foreign Ministers at their informal meeting in Washington last Oct ober 2 3. 7 At this informal meeting of Foreign Ministers, Considerable time Was deVoted to the problem of sub? vers ion, as is reflected in the communique issued at the end of the meeting. The Foreign Ministers found .that at the pre_sent juncture the most urgent on the ,Pbel?mS confronting the hemisphere was "the Sino? Soviet intervention in Cuba as an attempt to convert the island into an armed base for communist penetration cf the Americas and subversion of democratic institutions." They expressed the desire that in the ideologiCal struggle against communism "the resources and methods inherent in i the NH 51214 'the democratic system should be mobilized to bring the 1-p.eoples- to reali ze fully the differenCes between -to?alitarian1s$ andrdemocracy" . They also agreed "that - it is necessary for the countries, in accordance with ctheir laws and constitutional precepts, to intensif easures to prevent agents and groups of international communism from carrying on their activities of a subversive nature}"' In this connection they aSked that .studies be made 1n.the three areas where Cuba appeared toEbe concentrating its effort: the transfer of funds to other American Republics fer subversive purposes, the flow of subversive prepaganda, and the_utilization of Cuba as a base fQ1training in subversive activities. - I have earlier described in.some detail the scope of Guban aet1v111es in these field 5. The secs has just completed its preliminary study of these three. topics9 "isett1ng forth its conclusions and making specifics Irecommendations for individual and cooperative action by governments. .The Council's Special Committee received the. rvreport in Spanish last Monday. After it has been . translated and circulated among all the members of the Council, the United States hopes it will be made_public.v _7T?g-Special Committee is sdheduled to_meet to.con31der'this.p51nt, DucId:32424094 Page 153 EH 54214 I should add -that the SCCS report is a technical istudy prepared by experts acting in their individual Capaci ty. It is to be used by the Special C_ommittee J-composed of governmental representatives in the preparation -of a report to the Council setting forth recommendations for measures which governments may wish to adOpt to strengthen their capacity to counter subversive activities in_ these three fields. - 1 also want to mention the fact that the Inter? '1 American Defense B.oard has established an Inter American 1 _Defense College which began its first course for senior officers from the armed forces of the variOus American Republics in October 1962. The College is lo cated at Fort McNair; The purpose of the College is to conduct courses of study on the inter? American 3 and the militarygeconomic, political and social factors that are essential components to the defense of our free? societiesr _PrOblems of Control of subversive action Before leaving this aSpect of the problem I Would 'like to _say something about the difficultie in curbing ?subvers ive act1V1t1es. The very-nature of clandestine ?b action makes it difficult to deal with. ?In free societies where subversive elements take advantage of 'the DucId:32424094 Page 154 NH 54214 ,the safeguards of democrIaItic processes and where govern? Iments feel themselves inhibited by reSpect forI constitu? >_t10nal_n0rms,_ the problem Iis evenI more complicated _Addl? this the lack Iof adequate admlnistrative machinery and internal securlty capabilit1es which ex1sts in-- many'?ii?aa A Lat1n American countres and you canI ?se? the dimen81ons': of the problem. For example,vcoastlines Iare exten81ve and thinly populated and frontiers fOr the mIosIt part run through rugged terrain difficult to?pa_trol. Effective eontrolI of Clandestine shipments of arms and men becomes - a'most difficult task under theseI conditions.' Besides, there are plenty of arms available in Imost countries for a. price and no need for special IeIfforts to ship them in. The easIe with which money can be transmitted poses serious problem?evenI for governments with the most 'eIlaborIate Isecurity Imachinery. Propaganda which comes over the radio can be jammed but only atgreat expense ?and effort and even then without complete succeSs.. TheI goontrolI of the entry and departure of travellers an IsIurveIillance while they are in the cquntry is another _task requiring largeI numbers of trained personnel and su bstantial funds.:I I mention this Solely to gi_ve you 'iv' some idea of what we and our sister republics are up against in trying to de velop our cIap aci-ty to deal with the problemI 0f subversion through individual Iand 7collective effort.

The training in Cuba_ of ?party members is a particularly important contribution about which it should be _pobsSible- to do something.? number of suggestions are made On this matter in the recent 8008- report. While-the actions must be takeni by our Latin.American associates, we will certainly wish to be helpful in any way we can. . . I DucId:32424094 Page 156 NH 54214 . ,ROLE OF THE ALLIANCE FOR PROGRESS IN THE SECURITY EFFORT ;So far I have talked about US and OAS programs to deal idirectly with the subverSive effort.? It would be a mistake A to close without a few words on the Alliance for Progress. . (In the critical last week of October, when we confrOnted the Soviet Union bluntly and directly over the misSiles in Cuba, the Fina_nce Ministers of the 20 member countries of the Alliance for Pregress met in Mexico City.' President? Kennedy sent a message to that conference which established the clear and direct relatio nship of their work to our and the hemisphere' 3 security. He said to the Alliance conferees: "Your meeting is a vital reminder that the central task of. this generation of Americans is not merely the avdidance.of' ?cOnflict. It is the co nstruction of a new community of Amer ican nations in which all our citizens can live not' .only free from fear but full 5r as the unyie-lding :determination of today is essential if we are to realiZe the future. promise of the Alliance for Progress, the future success 'Tof Ahe Alliance for Progress will be the final vindicatiOn of A?Ithe resolute course we are taking today." The Alliance was not undertaken as a response to I 'Castro. But I do not think there is any doubt that - the threat of Castroism gave us a sense of urgency about the conomic and social underdevelopment of Latin 35 America and the resuItant political tensions and dangers A I that 32424094 Page 15'? 54214 l?thatrwe did not we have; ?eng a?g' ed in thliis'tf I program because it is right an because it is in our national interest to live in a world of independent _and secureI countries.? By do1InIg so,I however, we also 7 _}11 seek to prov1de for Latin Amerlca Ia democratic alternative E1to Castro communism, reflecting another Statement by '1?Pr951dent Kennedy "If Ipeaceful evolution proves o. 1mp0551ble, Violent revolutions will be inevitable." Theore-tically, we Could put vast amounts of arms and riot equipment intoI -Latin American- hands today to s_tamp ouf?rebellion and to shoot down the Communist leaders and 'followers. But in whose hands would we Iput these arms? How. can we be sure that the riot quellers Of today will not be ?the r10ters?tomorrow9- What good are arms and securiIty con- trolsI in _Ia permanently unstable society? In practice, we are providing aid to our sister republics in publ1c safety and antIi? subversion ef forts, conscious of the fact _that these efIfOrts are meaningful Only in the frame- onrkI Iof- a longer- term program. That program is Ithe Alliance.I We are helping our sister republics to maintain order and Istrengthen democratic institutions so theII fruits of the Alliance _mayI have a chanIce to -ripen.

The Alliance for Progress isI a constant object of their I'scorn and their attacks. If that be a measure of he it poses to their goals, then we have reason ?-to be hopefulI about its appeal to the peoples of LatinI IAmeric a- and its chances of Success. Let me quote Ijust .a few examples.: I II I Peking Radio on august 2SthI last yeaIrj quoted the _Mexican Communist organizatiIon which Calls itself the INatidnal Liberation Movement as fellows: "The Alliance 'IfOr Progress is- nothing but a hoax which could 301 deceiveII? ?vi?the peopleI?

I I Cuban Communist leader Blas Roca in an article in 7Cuba Socialista in May of last year mentioned the Alliance no- less than six times in two pages.I He,says the-S Alliance "gives no adequate or effective answer to the: cry of the peoples of Latin America." -The reason for' thisg-says the Cuban Communist chief, is.that it~will inot -Iand I quote again "liberate LatinIAmerica? from IYankee rule, but..;strengthen it.? The_burden-of his article, translated into plain language, is that-the Alliance wOuld create a.satisfactory and relationship between the United States and Latin 'America and thus muIst be fought like poisoInI by tIhe 'Communists. I I - i Castro' 5 hope for the defeat of the Alliance was- ekpressed in an interview with some Western reporters" "fon June first, when he said that the American economy Cannot afford the Alliance; He Said, hopefullyIno I doubt; and I quote from a Reuters dispatch in the lS?e?_ IXQLK limes' I"They (the Americans Ihave neither ?the gold reserves nor the organ izationI nor the men to jmake it work.

VThey are right, of course, in being concerned about the Alliance, not only for the long- term future, but- more immediately.1 IFOr1one factor in the unanimous agreement in the Hemisphere VonV what to do about the missiles and in the failure of the communist program of protests was the new hope of peaceful V-Vohange brought by the Alliance and the new View of the US V-rIesulting from our leadership in this effort. i We see the Alliance as much moreV than a program of economic and 1550111 progreSS..' We see it as a '1 political andI_ ideological program as well, depending Qn its success as mush on the development Latin I America human reSourcIes, theI reshaping Vof public IandVV _leadership attitudes and institut ionsI as onV the buildVing of Vroads, factories and Vhospitals .

No one cIan deny, however, that it is a real and Icontinuing problem as far as the peace and security of the- hemisphere as a whole is concerned.

We are giving the highest priority to this problem and can-report progress in_countering Cuba's subversive efforts. While we can never insure that Cuba will not be able to help subvert another-Latin American 'country, effective action on our part can considerably reduce Cuba?s capability to do so. Krulak Sub-Committee: Following the February 25 sub- mission ofga report on subversion by an interdepartmental working group headed by Ambassador Thurston, the Coordinator of Cuban Affairs on February 27 appointed a Sub-committee on Subversion headed by Major General Victor H. Krulak, USMC. The sub-committee in quick order produced useful actiOn papers V, on: 1) control of movement of persons to Cuba for subversive ?54 training; 2) control of movement of propaganda material; 3) control of movement of arms; H) establishment or a surveil- lance system in the Caribbean; 5) exchange of intelligence information and, 6) control of movement of funds for subversive purposes. Another paper, on training of Latin Americans, is under preprration. Central America Mana ua Team: These papers were used in preparing talking points for the Meeting of Presidents at San Jose where it was decided to hold the Managua Meeting of Ministers of Government, Interior or Security, to,discuss measures to counter Castro-Communist subversion in the especially vulnerable Isthmian area. In preparing for this latter meeting the Krulak papers were again drawn upon heavily.

Adopt, within the limitation of their respective con- stitutional provisions, measures to be put into effect immediately to prohibit, restrict and discourage the movement of their nationals to and from Cuba. To this end, they propose the adoption of the following measures: . 1) Provide, as a general rule, that every passport or other travel document-which may be issued carry a stamp which indicates that said ?passport is not valid for travel to Cuba. 2) permitted to travel to Cuba should have the per* mission duly inscribed in their official travel document. - 3) Promulgate regulations restricting the 5g granting of visas to foreigners who have travelled to Cuba within a stipulated period of time. h) Notify travel agencies and transport com? panies of these measures for due compliance; and inform the government of other countries through the most appropriate means. 5) Request the Governments of the Hemisphere: a) not to allow the nationals of signatory ?3 countries to travel to Cuba unless they possess a valid passport or other document issued'by their country Of origin valid for such travel; mi b) not to accept visas, tourist cards or, other documents issued to their nationals for travel -to Cuba which do not form an integral (non-detachable) part of their passports or other travel documents; NH 54214 Page 3 c) to observe the,limitations placed in the passports or other travel documents of the nationals of signatory governmentsand not allow them to depart for Cuba; d) to inform the signatory countries through appropriate channels of refusals to allow one of their nationals to depart for Cuba; and e) to provide the signatory governments the names of their nationals which may appear on the passenger list of any airplane or ship going to or coming from Cuba. Enlist-the coOperation of financial institutions to? - report on the transfer of groups catalogued as Communist subversive-elements make, within their-respective countries, for subversive purposes; and to establish surveillance of Communist- controlled businesses and other activities to identify the transfer of funds through such establishments for subversive purposes or activities; and impound such funds, or take preventive measures, compatible with each country?s legislation, so that they may not be used for purposes that would tend to destroy demo? cratic governments. Take action to impede the clandestine movement of arms into the Isthmian countries, including specific instructions to border control forces to intensify port, airfield and border inspection of incoming and outgoing cargo-in order to prevent contraband traffic 5 in arms; and establish strict security and accountability with respect to arms_and ammunition issued to their armed forces and law enforcement agencies. Take action to prevent the introduction of subversive Communist propaganda materials into the Isthmian countries from abroad; adOpting laws as necessary to provide severe penalties for persons knowingly engaged in the introduction or dissemination of such propaganda; NH 54214 Page 4 NH 54214 - and report to the diplomatic missions of the signatory countries the identity of any person discovered intro- or agents in each of the Central American countries and Panama. - Establish a cooperative system to impede the clandestine movement of persons, propaganda materials and arms for subversive purposes involving: - surveillancelbyleach country of its oWn coastal area, and interception of?sus? picious craft within its territorial waters; and cooperation of the Central American States, Panama and'the United States to.carry out such surVeillance and interception, upon the request of any of the governments concerned. Establish, as soon as possible, an organization in each State, with the sole purpose of counteracting Communist subversion in the Central America?Panama area. This organiZation will be staffed by specialized personnel to whom privileges will be-extended for travel in the above~mentioned area. These organizations will be primarily responsible fOr: . a) detecting, controlling and cOunteracting actions and objectives of the members, instrumentalities, sympathizers and collaborators 0f the Communist Party; and b) lending mutual support to each other and constantly Vexchanging'information regarding movements of persons or groups, propaganda,-funds-and arms for Communist_subversive purposes. DucId:32424694 Page 5 H. Agree to: 1. Recommend that their Governments: a).hold periodic meetings of representatives of Isthmian countries and the United States to review w, progress made and problems remaining in the control of movements of persons, arms, funds and prOpaganda, for subversive Communist purposes; g? hold tory for technical, 1 materiel assistance and training support; and an c) furnish infOrmation on a continuing basis to the ;m3 Council of the Organization of_American States on ?g ?Communist subversive activities in their respective ~s countri?s,??giggugmwgi,p 2. Inform the Organization of American States of the agreements taken at the present meeting requesting of . that Organization and the Member Governments the indis- -ni pensable backing and support required to achieve their effective implementation, thereby.strengthening the inter?American system. To encourage implementation of these recommendations and to discuss possible requirements for U.S. assistance a delegation will spend several days in each Isthmian country beginning April 23. - . The other hemisphere governments have been advised of the progreSs being made by the Central Americans and informed that we consider their'actions to be worthy of emulation. Telegrams to each of the other hemisphere pOSts, instructing them to seek appropriate_counteresubversion actions by host governments, are now being prepared in the Department}? Bilateral Approaches: Mexico is now the only western hemisphere transit point for scheduled air travel to Cuba, and the cooperation of the Mexican Government is essential if Cuba?s potential for subversion is to be lessened. We have requested Mexican assistance and the'GOM has taken several measures to curb traffic of Latin Americans through Mexico to and from Cuba. Mexico has been delaying granting permission NH 54214 Page 6 HabanaeMexico City run. Mexico also is requiring that - Cuban visas be placed in passports rather than on separate ?e sheets of paper and is stamping passports to Show exit 4% and entry from.Mexico. The prospects are that Mexico will 'l go further to assist the Isthmian countries in control measures. have also shown an increased awareness of the need to take counteresubversion measures. Prime Minister Bustamante of JamaiCa told Assistant Secretary Martin he had no intention of permitting travel to Cuba and that he had turned down requests from both KLM airlines and the Cuban Government to resume flights between Cuba and Jamaica. The Bolivian rGovernment has also indicated it is finally becoming con? cerned about the large number of its citizens who are traveling to Cuba and is willing to take steps to reduce? this travel. Some success has also been achieved in undercutting specific Cuban prOpaganda efforts in the hemisphere. Partially because of our efforts to make it difficult for Latin Americans to attend the recent "Solidarity with Cuba? meeting in-Brazil, this event was far from successful. NH 54214 Page H: Hum?Em . ., .x L'54214 MEMORANDUM FOR THE NATIONAL SECURITY STANDING GROUP Annex 6 ECONOMIC RESTRICTIONS a) gShipEing The results of our demarches to cut down Free WOrld shipping to Cuba are best explained by figures. During the period January 1 to March 31, 1962 a total of 337 Free World vessels entered Cuban ports. During the same period in 1963, only 62 Free world vessels preSently before the PreSident to eXpand'NSAM No. 220 to bar U. S.?financed cargOes to all vessels owned or controlled by persons owning or controlling vessels engaged in the Cuban trade. Such a measure will affect several hundred vessels and We anticipate it will result in a further decline in Free World shipping to Cuba. Other measures being considered include closing OAS ports to all vessels engaged in the Cuban trade on continuous voyage, requesting U. S.~owned oil companies to voluntarily deny bunkers in the Western Hemisphere to ships known to be engaged in the Cuban trade, reassessment of the definitions within the terms of Section 107 (B) of the Foreign Aid and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 1963 and closing United States ports completely to certain classes of vessels. Civil Aviation- Before the missile crisis, five international airlines served Cuba with about 20 frequencies weekly. Through our efforts, all Free World international airlines except IBERIA .(Spain) have ceased operations to the island. IBERIA has one-to-two flights per month. DucId:32424694 Page 9 i In. 1. .5: ,Nx??iwq -2- CUBANA (Cuba) has a bi-weekly service to Mexico City. The Mexicans have taken several measures to tighten the controls on this service. These are the only scheduled links Cuba now has with the Free World. Continued efforts by CSA (Czechoslovakia) and CUBANA to obtain servicing and/or passenger rights in other Free werld cities have been thus far successfully blocked by Departmental efforts. Any requests for transit, servicing or passenger privileges by at any ppint are strenuously opposed on a continuing basis. c) Trade The decline in Free World trade with Cuba has materially affected her ability to maintain the former relatively high standard of living enjoyed before the' Castro take?over. The 4th quarter 1959 GNP of $2.391 billion pesos has declined an estimated 25% to about $1,790 billion pesos (Est. 1962) while the population has increased roughly 6% from 6,661,000 to 7,068,000 in 1962. From these data it appears that the per capita GNP has declined from about 360 pesos in 1959 to 253 pesos per annum in 1962. This decrease in income and the rise in prices caused by the increasing shortage of consumer goods has further reduced the average Cuban standaniof living, causing widespread discontent. Some selected trade figures may be illustrative' of the effects of the United States efforts.

The Cuban Revolutionary Council and Dr. Miro Cardona The Cuban Revolutionary Council (CRC), headed by Dr. Miro Cardona, has, since Marth 19615Icovertly received about $3,000,000 from the United States. 'The Council is composed of about a dozen exile groups whictheprese the ma anti- Castro non-Batista political stream in the exile cbmmunity.

The United States has regarded the CRC as its main point of contact with-the exile community. The' CRC and a few important exile groups out?ide the CRC_(also financially assisted by us) have engaged in propaganda and other activities with our support. . - - We have refused Miro's demands that we form an alliance with him for the purpose_of military action against Cuba, and he has resigned. His resignation will probably be accompanied by that of most of the Council members and the Council may well disappear. We currently_think the Council's disappearance would be a desirab1e_deve10pment. we shall be evolving policy recommendations regarding our future relations with the exile groups.

The Cuban Brigade We have established a program of military and civilian opportunities for the members of the Bay of Pigs invasion f?C' brigade. Some 400 members of the Brigade have enlisted in the military program (22 week training, or officer training, or an eight week training course for those over 35). .The civilian aspect of the program is, after several obstacles have been overcome, now getting underway. This portion of the program offers qualified Brigade members loans for full academic expenses at the univerSity level; a vocational training program including English, and special employment counseling. The compensation for Brigade members is scheduled to terminate_with a check for the month of May. Resettlement cf Cuban Exiles. *7 We have pursued a policy of.voluntary resettlement of Cuban_exi1es but of the Miami area. To date somewhat overr 50,000 refugees have been reSettled through the HEW-Voluntary Agency Progra . An estimated 125,000 refugees remain in the Miami area. Even before the current Miro resignation, tensions between the local Miami population and the Cuban exiles had arisen. . COngressional representatives from Florida expressed concern that further influx of refugees to Miami could result in unpleasant incidents. -At the present time refugees inflow has been reduced to a trickle.due to the absence of transportation between Cuba and United States. HEW is redoubling its efforts to persuade refugees-to leave the Miami area. After the Miro Cardona affair dies down, many Cuban refugees may be.more favorably disposed toward the resettlement program.

MILITARY TRAINING FOR CUBANS On April 17, 1963, there were 2343 Cuban volunteers parti- cipating in a 22-week enlisted training program at Fort Jackson, South Carolina. The first training company (composed of 20? en- listed men) completed training on April 10. These men are now being returned to civilian status. On April 26, two additional companies will complete training. Thereafter approximately 200 men will complete their training and return to civilian life each .we'ek. It is estimated that approximately 10 or 15 enlisted men from each of the 12 companies will volunteer and qualify for two years service in the U. S. Army. By mid- -July 1963, less than 100 enlisted men will be participating in the 22-week program. Prior to the initiation of the training program for members of the 2506th Cuban Brigade, five Cuban officer volunteers were' placed in training programs. Three of this group are in training A 'at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama, .and two are in training at Fort Benning, Georgia. A special program for former members of the 2506th Cuban Brigade was initiated in March 1963. Eighty- nine enlisted men (age 18- 34) and 93 enlisted men (age 35- 50) are now in training at Fort Jackson, South Carolina. The older age groups will complete an eight week training program in early June 1963; the younger age groupwill complete a 22-week program in early September 1963. An officer training program of 15- weeks, duration for former members of the 2506th Cuban Brigade is underway at Fort Benning, Georgia.

Training 011 28 June 1963 CIA requested to utilize a portion of Eglin Air Force Base in Florida for the Cup-'w'crt raining of CIA controlled Cuban nationals. Use of Eglin will enable CIA to institute a survival training program for appi oxirnately 60 CIA con- trolled Cuban nationals per year. It will also include participation by the five Army personnel outlined above. This request was approved on 23 July 1963 following a survey of the installation by representatives of the CIA and the Department of Defense. 2. Material As of February 1963 a. CIA request for two 173 foot ships belonging to the Air Force was fulfilled. These ships were trans- ferred to CIA after rehabilitation by the Air Force for use in CIA activities in the Miami area. OPERATIONS Two approved raids previously scheduled for execution on I 26 July 1963 were postponed until mid- -August by decision of- the Special Group on 18 July 1963.

Its purpose will be to maintain morale. and increase the will to resist. Initially the following themes and general guidance will be emphasized: l) Expose the betrayal of the original aims of the Revolution. 2) Expose the contradictions between past and current promises and per- formance of the Castro regime. 3) Expose the encraochment of Bloc Communists into the domestic affairs of Cuba and increasing foreign domination of Cuba by Soviet imperialism. 4) Stimulate disaffection in the leadership and ranks of the supporters of the Castro regime, principally among the militia, the government bureaucracy, organized labor, youth and students, farmers. 5) Inspire tensions'between Cuban leaders and Bloc representatives . The following lpolitical warfare activities are considered compatible with and essential to the operational plan: 1) Stimulate and guide the propaganda and political action activities of the Cuban exile political, professipnal, student, cultural and other groups and individuals which have an existing or potential capability for com- municating with and influencing the behavior of their counterparts inside Cuba. Also utilize these groups and individuals for propaganda activities in Latin America and other critical areas. 2) Continue and expand operations involving the infiltration of propaganda material into Cuba via the open mails, legal travelers or controlled couriers. 3) Establish a propaganda balloon launching capability with appropriate policy authority to conduct propaganda balloon launching operations.

There may be a requirement for amphibious lift for rapid redeployment and counterguerrilla activity until order has been restored. It is anticipated that most of these ships will be available capability the ial requirements for sealift will include MSTS ships obtained through theaMaritime Administration. Over-all requirements for shipping will diminish after the \w initial 10- 20 days of the operation.~ c.

I'm? ?P?rat1?m1 h??g problems of putting in agents are getting tougher and tougher. The controls by the Communists in Cuba are getting tighter and tighter and will slow down the operation. Agents must have documents, to get documents you must register, when you register the Bloc informer checks on you periodically. This makes it tough to get ration cards. Some i?ew Cuban agents have been cornin in through the OpaLocka Center.

Goodwin indicated to th: group that the views I a political Judgment. I indicated that is was a political- military Judgment, there was no doubt about it but that it certainly did involve the Defense and JCS responsibilities, inasmuch as NSAH No. 55 published last June, the President had' informed the Joint Chiefs of Staff that he considered them to be more_than military men and should advise him on such tatters, when it involved the security of the United States, that the JOint Chiefs of Staff felt obligated to so advise the Eresident. When I made?this statement Mr. Kennedy indicated to the effect that this.was correct, that it was the responsibility of the JCS to make recommendations of this nature. Mr. Goodwin did not pursue the matter further at this time. hr. Goodwin then queried me in regard to the reactions capabiliti of the US forces incther countries of Latin America, that if such a requirement occurred while we were engaged in Cuba, this seemed to be the general thrust of his queries. I indicated to him that Gen O'Hara was currently conning up with estimates based on US reaction for 2 countries to be selected by him in the Caribbean area. Each one to have plan? for a company size unit and a battl proposed to say at this time group size unit. Hr. Gilpatric th_ that it was the intent of Defen that the 6 - 1303 remain i (5 {the Panama Canal Zone to give this capability a quick reactione Hr. Goodwin then was requested to giVe a briefing on the Sta resend-d", rh I situation in regard to the Caribbean Survey Group. {a began by . . . saying than was no proof of Cuban infiltrations into other count of Latin Auerica of Cuban exportation of weapons and guerrillas and Communists from Cuba to other Latin American countries. He . indicated so far we have been unable to get any evidence to the effect that this was being done. hr. Kennedy queStioned Kr. Goodwin closely on this sdrect asking why he could not and evidence when we knew this to be a fact. Er. Goodwin said CLO: everything possible was being done to turn up this evidence but without success. Er. Kennedy then queried him as to what kind 0. people were morning on this :or state. Hr. hulns interced t: say that it was questionable whether Castro was taking such the extent no used to take the? cut th_t 54214 Page to export Communism by way of guerrillas, arms, etc., had been tedporarily played in the low key that CIA too had trouble in turning up positive evidence since it had been unable to do so to date. Hr. Goodwin added'that zany allegations had been :ade against Castro but no proof of Cuban aggression had been proven as yet. He indicated the proof of it would be a distinct asset to us at this time. He then said the Us should probe harder for splitting the leadership in Cuba. Raul Castro, for example, is a good possibility. We need a way to get next to this man. Er. Goodwin then said that there were overtones throughout the US that the US was planning an invasion of Cuba, that this was detrimental .to our relationships world-wide. Mr. Gilpatric and Mr. Kennedy indicated that no matter what was being done, there would be rumors to this effect and such overtones would be voiced about the country that it was possibly because we were nearing the anniversary of the Bumpy Road operation. Er. Goodwin said the Cuban Revolutionary Cou x?nnresentative was in Washington and wanted reassurance that the US planned twuhelp Cuba. -Mr. Goodwin indicated that.sympathy for Cuba is gaining ground} hm mentioned Guatemala and Argentina as examples where Cubans had succeeded?e temporary gain in public opinion and propaganda. Mr. Kennedy then asked hr; abuubdn whe? the prospects were for the future and Mr. Goodwin said that the prospects for the next 2 or 3 years are terrible. Mr. Goodwin indicated that one of the items on tomorrow's agenda for the Special Group would be discussion of tractors for prisoners in Cuba. Hr. Helms brought out the fact that members of Congress had been opposed to this and before anything was done in regard to spending US money in this way, Congress must be checked, since they had expressed a desire to be brought into the picture before such a project was laid on. Kr. Goodwin indicated that the Fiat Automotive 3::pa - had DucId:32424904 Page 3 (Wylor ould also be out of town. with??r.

Mr. Ryan at USIA then presented the fella-ting inforszation from that agency. They are increasing the Cuban coverage in radio to 3 hours a day. No direct Jamming has yet been experie one and tendency to edge in on wave being used has been noticed. He mentioned the refugee children as being a good propaganda possibility, one which we should exploit. .nere are 8000 children being s?nt out of Cuba in order to avoid the Conmun indoctrination and the hard times e- nericnced 1? now ??13 ?Ann-pad ?n?nrrn' should be exploited. Their comic books are being LLepi--_; being the fact that Communism is the enemy of religion. Another idea is the fact that the Communists have taken over the Havana University. This is being propagandized. Another project is the detector situation. which USIA is pushing through television coverage. Mr. Ryan added that {11 be be flayed and criticized no matter what she does in this are: in .Latin America, but we should get going with a counter-force opera? . tion to counter such criticism.

Following consents made?by Kr. Robert Kennedy: The work involved in the last 2 months has helped us to develop the problem we are up against in Cuba. He now fairly well understand the steps we must take in the future, some of these steps we do not like but nevertheless, they are inevitable. It is not conceivable at this time to call for invasion of US forces in Cuba, however, this sursnru fall and next year may change all this. In this first phase, we must find out the situation in Cuba and maybe take steps beyond that. Weknow more now and we are keeping our- selves informed. we know what we can do,'we know what is required. It is not like the situation was last April with regard to our preparedness. The President and his chief advisers consider this the highest priority project in the Government. A-serious situa- tion has been existing in Cuba for several years and it will get no: harmful. The President is most anxious we be able to do something about this to change it. VGon Lansdale's leade.ship in this project has pushed forward. The are making progress, doing good work. There is a possibility that the Berlin and South East situation would have an impact on developments in Cuba. as 5353 be ready to exploit any change that occurs for us. All of this work and effort is essential and the President keeps an appraisal on it sheet on a daily basis. The President is prepared to do whatever has to be done, we must use our isngination. Mr. Kennedy expressed complete satisfaction with the Group working on the project now with Gen Craig, Hr. Harvey and Mr. Helms. He did not mention anyone.else repreSenting other departments. We need push more effort, imagination. He feels the Group is up with the Task he urged for us to as on and he indicated he would be watehing us closely on a daily basis to see how we are doing and to help us if needed. - AGENCY RECORD NUMBER RECORDS SERIES AGENCY FILE NUMBER ORIGINATOR FROM TO TITLE DATE PAGES SUBJECTS DOCUMENT TYPE CLASSIFICATION RESTRICTIONS CURRENT STATUS DATE OF LAST REVIEW OPENING CRITERIA COMMENTS NH 54214 Date 08/04/98 Page JFK ASSASSINATION SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION FORM Eggn?

OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE WASHINGTON o. c. In 12. March 1962 I I 1. MEMORANDUM FOR THE SPECIAL GROUP (AUGMENTED) From: Brig. Gen- LansdaleSzL Subject: Policy Questions, Operation Mongoose As Operation Mongoose goes into the approved activities of Phase I, a number of policy questions have started to arise. Current problems, needing resolution, are listed below. It is requested that the Special Gro Augmented) provide guidance, as a matter of some urgency. of U.S. military installations. CIA desires to train small uban nationals on the. U.S. Air Force Bombing Range, Avon Florida, immediately. Defense reports that the proposed area is adequate for this training, but that. such training of covert agents who will be introduced ultimately into Cuba represents a security problem and a departure from ?past security procedures, due to the fact that U. S. Government sponsorship will be apparent to trainees. Capture and interrogation of any of these covert agents could result in exposure (in international news media) of U.S. official involvement in efforts to a, a unseat the present Communist Cuban regime. A policy determination 37' is needed as, to whether or not agents to be i into Cuba should g. be trained on U.S. Government installations. 8 :5 38 There are other U.S. military inef?a'ions and properties, in the Southeastern U. S. and Caribbean areas, which CIA would like to use for similar training and operational purposes in the future. The same policy determination could cover all uses of identifiable U.S. Government properties for training and deployment of Cuban nationals for covert I 7/36/74: Coilection Act of 1992 the Department 01' State release or declassi?cation ofthis document in under the provisions of the JFK Assassination Records infiltration into Cuba. 3 . .2 2..

I believe their evaluation will be beneficia1_to all offices which are, or- should be, conducting surveys-of a similar nature. The.salient portions of their repOrt are reproduced as a part of thiS' memorandum. route and building survey of a route to be traveled by the President encompasses a or area-by-area physical inspection and an interview with the occupants of the buildings which are adjacent or overlook the route. Conducting such a survey represents-a considerable task. There is call for skill, ingenuity, and a capacity for evaluating and identifying danger points and the devising of countermeasures to be effected for the time the Presi~ dent is in the particular area. With this, there must be docu- mented the information that is develoPed preparatory for taking steps that are necessary to offset each of the existing hazards. Also called for on the part of the personnel who engage in surveys is an adeptness in the art of good public relations work. ?Concerning the personnel and the manner of conducting surveys, during our testing process since November 1963, this has been done in various ways. As afore_indicated, the work is extensive and a concentration of manpower is required although for a com- paratively limited period. Thus, in New YorkXCity, in March 1964, a survey was made of the routes generally used by the President. These included the routes from the airports to downtown and NH 54214. Page 2' d< NH 54214 14 . 2 . All Special Agents in Charge and Resident Agents "Pursuant to the observation and'contact phases of a survey, there must be developed protective measures to offset each of the hazards uncovered. This is manifested in establishing posts of duty for agent personnel and police officers when the President is present and in employing such other safeguards as called for by each of the existing circumstances. In this same respect, by means of the survey, there is facilitated the ad- vance programming for the security communications that will. serve best needs while the President is there. Generally speak- -ing, the communications facilities for a Presidential movement must be of scoPe to permit radio and/or telephone contact as between the President?s car (plane, helicopter, train), Secret Service security cars, security aircraft, designated police cars, designated networks of security posts, Secret Service command posts, police headquarters, and others. "Significant, it is felt, is that the results accomplished by any particular survey cannot be calculated to continue inde- finitely. In this it is thought that the benefits derived are in direct relation to the length of time which elapses between the time of the survey and the time of the President's visit. If the elapsed time is extended, the benefit?to be expected must diminish? This due.to physical changes as from construction, from changes in-occupancy of premises and for the fact that in dealing with the public, contests must be kept current. This means that resurveys must be periodically conducted." However, a resurvey or bringing one to date is of course easier and less time consuming than an original oneo ?Of interest to the question of the survey technique is that this has long been a standard protective procedure relative to -inaugural parades. This has been upon the premise that the huge crowd assembled from and world=wide warranted the added precaution, Our security personnel has recognized that the same procedure was desirable incident to any public move= ment by the'President but this could never be accomplished due to our continuing critiCal personnel situation. Therefore, the technique is not new or novel. Rather, it is a current allnout effort by means of borrowing other enforcement personnel and in- fluencing police interest to thereby gain the result and the attending benefits. -Page 3 All Special Agents in Charge and Resident Agents This to have the benefit of persons who have the best experience in such endeavor. However, when this is not possible, surveys should be made regardless from where the personnel who do the work become available. We feel the benefits from surveys in any event outweigh the inexperience factor." It is imperative that all offices complete their surveys as soon as possible in order that our protection capabilities be extended to the fullest. NH 54214 Page 4 NH 54214 OH 0 . 4 - '75 All Special Agents in Charge and Resident Agents "Following are the views of the writers from our experience and observations concerning route surveys: 1. Route surveys are beneficial in providing in- creased protection for the President when he travels. Outer perimeter security hazards can be identified and countermeasures established - to permit an increased degree of safety. Thus, agents and police personnel can be assigned t0? critical locations as on roof tops and other points lending to best possible protection. When the President moves in an open car, a survey lends as a principal countermeasure against hidden attack from the outer perimeter. This from having advance intelligence and the support and cooperation of the citizens as developed through the advance contact with them. Surveys conducted to date reflect that citi- zens generally are cooPerative and eager to wlend aid as by identifying and reporting, suspiciOus persons and circumstances. Also, it has been found they are willing to assume a degree of responsibility for their particular area when called upon. We believe that when the. President exposes himself, as in an open car, that this cooperation and aid by citizens is a? vital security factor. Route surveys produce a favorable gical result. The belief that one is being watched is of itself a deterrent to a wrongful act. We believe that if it was possible, it would be desirable that surveys be conduCted ex- clusively by Secret Service personnel aided by personnel from local police organizations.

They worked in two-man teams and about 44 teams were used. Com? pletion of the Survey required approximately seven working days. Similarly, in May 1964, a survey was made in Chicago covering the route from O'Hare International Airport?to the Conrad Hilton Hotel. The same team arrangement was used as in New YOrk City. In Chicago, about 30 two-man teams, Secret Service and Treasury Agents teamed with Detectives, were employed. They worked about five days, although this does not include the clerical time for the preparation of reports and data forms.' Likewise, this is not included in the total time shown above for New York City. In Atlantic City, a survey was made of the route from the air- port to Convention Hall and in Newark, N. J., the route from the airport to the Lincoln Tunnel. In each of these surveys, the work was done by uniformed officers of the City Police or in rural areas by the New Jersey.State Police having jurisdiction. The officers assigned generally worked individually. Surveys have been made in quite a number of other cities, such as Wash- .ington, D. C., San Francisco, Los Angeles, St. Louis, Miami, etc. "Concerning the actual work of conducting an outer perimeter route survey, the first asPect is an observation process to identify vantage points for attack as by rifle fire 0r thrown . objects. In this there must be taken into account roof tops, obstructions, overpasses, waterways, bridges, construction work, natural growth, terrain, and every other physical thing along the way that lends to covert design and presents a danger hazard. related aSpect is the building canvass with the occupant, or in the case of?a public building, the manager or security officer. being contacted and informed of the nature of the visit, for cooperation in the protection cf the President of the United States, who, while in the city, passes the area.

The salient portions of their report are reproduced as a part of this memorandum. route and building survey of a route to be traveled by the President encompasses a block-byablock or areaaby-area physical inspection and an interview with the occupants of the buildings which are adjacent or overlook the route. Conducting such a survey represents a considerable task. There is call for skill, ingenuity, and a capacity for evaluating and identifying danger points and the devising of countermeasures to be effected for the time the Presin dent is in the particular area. With this, there must be docu- - mented the information that is developed preparatory for taking steps that are necessary to offset each of the existing hazards. Also called for on the part.of the personnel who engage in surveys is an adeptness in the art of good public relations work. "Concerning the personnel and the manner of conducting surveys, during our testing process since November 1963, this has been, done in various ways. As afore indicated, the work is extensive and a concentration of manpower is required although for a come ?paratively 13mited period. Thus, in New York\City, in March 1964, a survey was made of the routes generally used by the President. These included the routes from the airports to downtown and Page 2 NH 54214 - 2 - All Special Agents in Charge '.and Resident Agents between the hotels where he generally steps. This was done by Secret Service and Treasury Agents teaming with City Detectives. They worked in two-man teams and about 44 teams were used.? Com- pletion of the Survey required approximately seven working days. Similarly, in May 1964, a survey was made in Chicago covering the route from O'Hare International Airport to the Conrad Hilton Hotel. The same team arrangement was used as in New York City. In Chicago, about 30 two-man teams, Secret Service and-Treasury Agents teamed with Detectives, were employed. They worked about five days, although this does not include the clerical time for the preparation of reports and data forms. Likewise, this is not included in the total time Shawn above for New York City. In Atlantic City, a survey was made of the route from the air- port to Convention Hall and in Newark, N. J., the route from the airport to the Lincoln Tunnel. In each of these surveys, the wOrk was done by uniformed officers of the City Police or in rural areas by the New Jersey State Police having jurisdiction. The officers assigned generally worked individually. Surveys have been made in quite a number of other cities, such as Wash- ington, D. C., San Francisco, Los Angeles, St. Louis, Miami, etc. "Concerning the actual work of conducting an cuter perimeter route survey, the first aSpect is an observation process to identify vantage points for attack as by rifle fire or thrown objects. In this there must be taken into account roof tops, obstructions, overpasses, waterways, bridges, construction work, natural growth, terrain, and every other physical thing along the way that lends to covert design and presents a danger hazard. related aspect is the building canvass with the ocCupant, or. in the case of a public building, the manager or security officer being contacted and informed of the nature of the visit, for cooperation in the protection of the President of the United States, who, while in the city, passes the area. Obtained is any available security intelligence and identifying data concern- ing the person contacted which is recorded for future reference. There is left with the person contacted the telephone number of this Service and the Police Department interested so that infor- mation can be reported. nunIa:32911033 Page 3 All Special Agents in Charge and Resident Agents- "Pursuant to the observation and contaCt phases of a Survey, there must be developed protective measures to offset each of? - the hazards uncovered. This is manifested in establishing 2p osts of duty for agent personnel and police officers when the -President is present and in employing such other safeguards as called for by each of the existing circumstances.- In this same WreSPect, by means of the survey, there is facilitated-the ad- ?vance programming for the security communications that will serve best needs while Ihe -President is there.? Generally Speak- "-ing, the communicatiOn.s fadilities for a Presidential movement it NH 54214 must be of seepe to permit radio and/or telephone contact as between the President 5 car (plane, helicopter, train), Secret ?Service security cars, security aircraft, designated police 'cars, designated networks of security posts, Secret Service command posts, police headQuarters, and others. ?SignifiCant, it is felt, is that the results accomplished by any particular survey cannot be calculated to continue inde- finitely. In this it is thought that the benefits derived are in-direct relation to the length of time which elapses between the time of the survey and the time of the President?s visit. If the elapsed time is extended, the benefit to be expected must diminish. This due-to physical-changes as from construttion, ?from changes in occupancy of premises and for the fact that in Idealing with the public, contacts must be kept current. This means that resurveys must be periodically conducted. However, a resurvey or bringing one to date is of course easier and less ?ti.me consuming than an original one. "Of interest to the question of the survey technique is that 'this has long been a standard protective'procedure relative to inaugural parades. -This has been upon the premise that the huge crowd assembled from and world=wide warranted the added precaution. Our security personnel has-recognized that the same procedure was desirable incident to any public movew ment by the President but this could never be accomplished due to our continuing critical personnel situation. Therefore, the technique is not new or nOVel. Rather, it is a current alleout effort by means of borrowing other enforcement personnel and in- fluencing police interest to thereby gain the result and the attending benefits. Page 4 NH 54214 . . . - 4 - All Special Agents in Charge and Resident Agents "Following are the views of the writers from our experience and observations concerning route surveys: 1. Route surveys are beneficial in providing in- creased protection for the President when he travels., Outer perimeter security hazards can be identified and countermeasures established 4 to permit an increased degree of safety. Thus, agents and police personnel can be assigned to critical locations as on roof tops and other .points lending to best poSsible protection. When the President moves in an open car, a survey lends as a principal countermeasure against hidden attack from the outer perimeter. This from having advance intelligence and the support and cooperation'of the citizens as 'developed through the advance contact with them. . a Surveys conducted to date reflect that citi? zens generally are c00perative and eager to . lend aid as by identifying and reporting _suspicious persons and circumstances. Also, it has been found they are willing to assume a degree of responsibility for their particular area when called upon. We believe that when the President exposes himself, as in an Open car, that this cooperation_and aid by citizens is a? vital security factor. Route surveys produce a favorable gical result. The belief that one is being watched is of itself a deterrent to a wrongful act. We believe that if it was possible, it would be desirable that surveys be conducted ex- clusively by Secret Service personnel aided by . personnel from local police organizations. Page 5 . ,m . . 13' 1 All Special Agents in Charge. and Resident Agents, This to have the benefit of persons who have the best experience in such endeaVOr. However, when this is not possible, surveys should be made regardless from where the personnel who do the work become available. We feel the benefits from surveys in any event outweigh the inexperience factoro" - It is imperative that all offices cemplete their surveys as soon as possible in order that our protection capabilities _be extended to the fullest. 496% NH 54214 Page 6 Date 07/17/96 - Page 1 JFK ASSASSINATION SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION FORM AGENCY INFORMATION AGENCY RECORD NUMBER .RECORDS SERIES AGENCY FILE NUMBER DOCUMENT INFORMATION 154-10002-10286 HISTORICAL VAULT (VICE PRESIDENTIAL PROTECTION) Eleased under the John ORIGINATOR .Kemmdy FROM SAIC HANLY asassinatinn Records TO CHIEF - Cullectinn Act of 1992 .

As instructed, I flew to Bonn the morning of February 7, 1964 to handle this matter as per report attached. No one on the security side at the Embassy in Bonn was aware of our presence in Europe. When Inspector Thacker was here we discussed the possibility of arranging for the State Department to notify all Embassies and Consulates in Europe, Ark-ice and the Middle East, and to revise their present consulate instructions, copy of which we obtained from the Consul General at Paris. Actually, the instruction concerning counterfeiting should be unclassified. Matters relating to our security interests could well be the subject of another classified instruction which should provide that PR subjects of the Roemer type, coming to the attention of the Missions, should be reported 0 through State Department channels and to this office as well.

Mr. Bundy said that the President could make a public statement in the near future, taking a more vigorous line than we have in'the past. He noted that in his November 18 Speech, President Kennedy made two points about Cuba -- the first was designed to encourage anti-Castro elements within Cuba to revolt, and the second was to indicate that we would not permit another Cuba in the Hemisphere. Bilaterally there are possibilities of increasing our pressures against. 'Free WOrld trade to Cuba. Spain should bear high priority target. NOTE: At this point the Isresident left the-room and-there was a brief discussion about the exiles in Florida. Mr. Crimmins said that resettlement remains our basic policy. It is true that the exiles feel that the pressure for their resettle- . ment is intense. In fact. it is no more intense now than it has been for some time. 5. 0n the President's return to the roomLMr. Bundy introduced the subject of the discovery in Venezuela of the Cuban arrns cache. Mr. Helms gave a graphic presentation of the link between the arms cache and a plot to upset the electionsin-Caracas. (M Mr. Martin explained the status of the OAS investigation of the arms- cache. The evidence is convincing in showing that the arms were from Cuba. The OAS investigating team is still working on its report. Hopefully, it will be able to tie the arms cache into a general plot to subvert Venezuela. The report should be ready by about January 10. . . (of Mr. Bundy described the types of action we can hope result of the discovery of the arms cache. The mest interesting is the surveillance action where we have essentially two basic choices we may want to push for a system which involves search andseizure of Cuban vessels on the high seas; this implies the possible use of force. 'Or we can push for a system involving the search and seizure of Cuban vessels in territorial waters; this evades the issue of force. Mr. Bundy added that it is still too early to know how far the Latin will go in support of force against Castro. We have put out feelers. 6. Mr. Bundy brought up the problem of lifting travel restrictions on Americans who wish to go to Cuba. Mr. Ball noted that a great number of students want to "?ts?e anon- ?l Page 6 9 ?1 1.1.41 -5- go down to Cuba during the Christmas holidays and that Justice Department recommends that we lift our travel restrictions. If we don' t, we will probably be obliged to put many? of the students in jail when they return; this will be embarrassing. Mr. Ball added that the State Department is tentatively opposed to lifting the travel restrictions because of the effect it will have on Latin American countries. We have been trying to get the Latin Americans to impose restrictions on travel to Cuba; if we lift our own restrictions, our position will be considerably weakened. Mr. Ball said that he would be meeting with the AttOrney General later in the day to talk about the subject. Tentatively, the President indicated that he favored maintaining the travel restrictions and a policy of selective prosecution.

SENSITIVE 25 July 1962 MEMORANDUM FOR THE SPECIAL GROUP (AUGMENTED) From: Brig. Gen. Lansdale Subject: Review of Operation Mongoose This is the Operations report at theend of Phase It has been compiled to assist you in reviewing Operation Mongoose. thus far and in determining the best course of U. S. action for the future. This Operations report centains, the contribution of each major participant, on objectives, on the planning and operational activity to win these objectives, and on future possibilities to be governed by the policy framework. A National Intelligence Estimate (NIB 85-2-62) is being submitted separately for consideration in connection with this report. As- Chief of Operations, 1 am indicating in this covering memorandum what I consider to be the most significant aspects of our policy and program picture. The full report of each major partici- pant is appended, to ensure that you have access to the exact reporting as submitted. -. OBJECTIVES As desired by higher authority on 30 November 1961. the U. S. a undertook a special effort ?in order to help Cuba overthrow the Communist regime. After a review of operational planning and programming con- cepts, the Special Group (Augmented) provided guidelines on 14 March ?1962 for Phase 1, Operation Mongoose (roughly until the end of July 1962). The main objectives were seen as: a. The acquisition of hard intelligence. on the target area. Excluded from automatic regrading: Dir 5200.10 does not apply. PROM GDS NH 54214 Page 2 WW II b. Undertaking all other political, economic, and covert actions, short of inspiring a revolt in Cuba or developing the need for U. S. armed intervention. c. Be consistent with U. S. overt policy. and remain in position to disengage with minimum loss in assets and U.S. prestige. d. Continue JCS planning and essential preliminary actions for a decisive U. S. capability for intervention. ACCOMPLISHMENT Elements Of the U.S. government were organized to reach the goals set for Phase I. My assessment of where we are on each objective is noted under approPriate sub-headings below. In general. this has been a remarkably quiet operation, well within the "noise" and "visibility" limits imposed. Higher authority has been kept informed of progress through the Special Group (Augmented), by frequent reports. The Special Group has provided policy guidance, as required, in Phase I. The'Chief of Operations has coordinated the efforts of participa- ting departments and agencies, through meetings of the Operational Representatives and by constant review of progress. The Operational Representative of each major U. S. participant in Operation Mongoose are William Harvey (CIA), Robert Hurwitch (State), Brig. Gen. Benjamin Harris (Defense), and Don Wilson (USIA). My assessment of the organization, planning, and actions to reach the goals in Phase 1: Intelligence. CIA had the main assignment to acquire the "hard-intelligence" desired. The headquarters and field staff of CIA are now well. organized for a major effort for this aspect of Operation Mongoose, being strengthened by a number of CIA officers experienced in "denied area" operations elsewhere in the world. Planning and actions rate superior, in a professional sense of intelligence collection. 1.1 established the Caribbean ission Center at Opa-Locka, Florida, and an interrogation activit in Spain. It undertook a priority I. 5/3 j} 2 1.. (cots) . HH 54214 Page 3 NH 54214 plan to collect information on the target from third country areas in Latin America and Europe. Inside Cuba, the recruitment and place- ment of third country nationals and initiation of Cuban collection nets, particularly in urban centers. has made Operation Mongoose numeri- cally the largest U. S. intelligence agent effort inside a Communist state. However, the effort in more remote provincial areas of Cuba, where guerrilla resistance was expected to be spotted, recruited, and organized, was short of the hoped-for goal; this was due to the regime's security precautions and, to some degree. to policy limita- tions on the risks to be assumed. Defense contributed the majority of personnel to staff the Caribbean Admission Center, stepped-up SIGINT collection under NSA despite changes and improved sophistication of Cuban communication procedures, and brought into play the available assets of Service intelli- gence organizations, in coordination with CIA. State stepped up its information collection from diplomatic and refugee organization sources. Justice (FBI and INS) and USIA provided significant support to the Caribbean Admission Center. Political. State appointed a representative to devote full-time to Operation Mongoose and to develop the required political actions. During Phase I, - the Punta del Este conference was a major U. 5. political action to isolate Castro and neutralize his in?uence in the Hemisphere, but was not develoPed within the context of Operation Mongoose. The successful visit of President Kennedy to Mexico was another major S. political action, with a potential impact upon our special goals, but was not developed within the context of Operation Mongoose. Two Operation Mongoose efforts in political action were attempted in Phase I: to counter Castro-Communist propaganda exploitation of May Day and to arouse strong Hemisphere reaction to?Cuban military suppression of the hunger demonstration at Cardenas, in June. Ambassadors in Latin America were asked to undertake a special effort, as possible, with the'help of their Country Teams; political action results in both instances were mostly negative, due to lack of capability and the local attitude in Latin American countries. I State is responsible for refugee political policy matters, assisted by CIA in daily liaison. This is an area of major interest to Operation Mongoose, since the Cuban refugees have an open objective of over- throwing the Communist regime in Havana and recapturing their homeland. Page 4 NH 54214 They are given open U. S. assistance to remain in this country, yet are participating in covert actions in a limited way. Only a fractional opening has been made to release the frustrated energy of these refugees in freeingtheir homeland and in creating a favorable political climate in Latin America for the liberation of Cuba. Policy limitations of "audibility" and "visibility? apply directly in considering the handling and use of this dynamic refugee potential. As a working document for U. 5. Operational guidance. State developed a definition of a political program for a free Cuba? with the understanding that any real political program must be developed by the Cubans themselves. activities for Operation Mongoose make use of existing assignments of responsibilities within the U. S. government: State, having the policy role, chairs an? inter-agency Cuba Operations Group which meets weekly; USIA disseminates any U. 5. government information (VOA and Press Service) and gene rates "gray" or non-official information (5 million cartoon books and thousands of Spanish books on Cuba disseminated in Latin America); CIA passes information apprOpriate for "gray" and covert channels (radio, mailings to Cuba, and dissemination inside Cuba). Conditions and events in Cuba have provided many effective themes, which have been and sharply exploited by available means in the Western Hemisphere. However, the U. S. still lacks the capability of effectively getting information to the majority of the Cuban people. Our . short-wave broadcasts are highly regarded by the Cuban people, but short- wave receiver sets are limited inside Cuba. Our medium-wave broadcasts compete against stronger Cuban signals; it was felt that greater U.S. competition in medium-wave broadcasts could lead to Cuban interference of U. 5. commercial broadcasts over a fairly wide area of the U. S. Clandestine broadcasts from a submarine (appearing as broadcasts by Cuban guerrillas inside Cuba) have been initiated; they are in their infancy, and have, a long way to develop before their messages are believed and get passed among Cubans by word-of?mouth. Dissemination of lea?ets and propaganda inside Cuba by balloon or aircraft has not received policy app roval. Economic. State has the ?main responsibility for developing economic actions. State has chaired an inter-agency working group, which generated 4 Page 5 NH 54214 the U. S. trade embargo, denial of bunkering facilities, increased port security, and control procedures on transhipment, technical data, and customs inspection. Diplomatic means were used to frustrate Cuban trade negotiations in Israel, Jordan, Iran, Greece, and possibly Japan. Under Resolution adopted at Punta del Este, the OAS has established a special committee'to study ?the feasibility and desirability of extending the suspension of trade with Cuba to other items (than armd, State has prepared a program to be submitted to this OAS committee in the future. The evidence in that Cuba's economy is suffering. Trade with the Communist Bloc and others has kept it limping along, despite scarcity of U. S. goods, the bad drought limiting agrarian cr0ps, increased worker non-cooPeration and the regime's bungling of?economic control measures. Critical spare parts still arrive in Cuba,' including shipments from British and Canadian firms. Chartered shipping from Free World sources still plays a major role in Cuba's trade, and the U. S. has little h0pe of cutting this life-line to Castro. - Guerrilla. CIA had the main responsibility for assessing resistance potential inside Cuba and to start quietly organizing such resistance as feasible. The CIA plan has been to set about doing this through introducing small teams into the Cuban "over the beach" from boats. Each team is tasked first to stay alive, while getting established in an area. Once able to live in an area, it then starts a cautious survey of potential recruits for a resistance group. Names of such recruits are sent to CIA for checking. As recruits join, they are trained on the ground by the team, and then continue the survey. This is slow and dangerous work. . CIA reports that 11 teams will have been infiltrated by the end of July and that 19 maritime operations have aborted. Of the teams in, the most successful is the one in Pinar del Rio in western Cuba; its success was helped greatly by a maritime re-supply of arms and equipment; the fact that it is' a "going concern" and receives help from outside has attracted recruits. Its potential has been estimated at about 250, which is a sizeahle guerrilla force. With equally large guerrilla forces in other Cuban provinces, guerrilla warfare could be activated with a good chance of success, if assisted properly. However, the teams in other provinces have not been so successful; our best hope is that we will have viable teams in all the potential resistance areas by early October. Bad weather, high seas, and increased security patrols will make the infiltration of teams and their re-supply from small boats-a hard task. 5 - Page 6 NH 54214 Sabotage has not taken place. on a U. S. -sponsored basis. Planning for such action by CIA has been thorough, including detailed study of the structures and vulnerabilities of key targets. Sophisticated actions. such as the contamination of POL has been frustrated by lack of cooPeration of nations where POL would be vulnerable to actiOn.? Commando type raids would take maritime means which now have priority use in support of CIA teams being infiltrated inside to survey and create a guerrilla potential. CIA has reported that there is now? some capability inside Cuba for sabotage action, that target selection has been under further careful review, and that a proposal is forthcoming to be submitted for policy approval. Intervention Planning. The JCS were given the responsibility for planning and undertaking essential preliminary actions for a decisive U. S. capability for intervention in Cuba. This "Guidelines? objective has been met, fully. Also. U. S. military readiness for intervention in Cuba has been under continuing review within Defense, being improved wherever feasible. In addition, rumors during June of a possible uprising inside Cuba led to further planning for a contingency?where a non-U. S. inspired?revolt might start inside Cuba; inter-agency staffing of U. S. planning for such a Cuban contingency is being completed, under Defense leadership. Assets. Whatever we decide to do in the future depends, to a large degree, on?ne assets available to us. Our own U. S. assets in organi- sation, personnel, and equipment are sufficient to liberate Cuba, given the decision to do so. Assets among the Cubans, to liberate themselves, are capable of a greater effectiveness once a firm decision is made by the U. S. to provide maximum support of Cubans to liberate Cuba, and the Cubans start being helped towards that-goal by the U. S. There are enough able- bodied and prdpe rly motivated Cubans inside Cuba and in exile to do the job. There is wide-spread disaffection in Cuba. with strong indications that economic? distress and demoralization of papulation is causing real concern and strain for the regime's control officials. ?Firm U. S. intention to help I free Cuba is the key factor in assessing the Cubans themselves as an ape rational asset for Operation Mongoose. At the close of Phase I. my concern-is strong that time is running out for the U. S. to make a free choice on Cuba, based largely on what is happening to the will of the Cuban people. or wrongly, the Cubans have looked and are looking to the U. S. for guidance on what to aspire to and do next. They wonder if we are not merely watching Cuba closely, as 6 Page a matter of our own security, undertaking some economic prosCription, and isolating the Castro/Communist gang from contaminating the Hemis- phe re. Along with recognition of our humanitarian sympathies, this seems to be the fear among Cuban refugees, although they are still hopeful. If Cubans become convinced that the U. S. is not going to do more than watch and talk, I believe they will'make other plans for the future. The bulk of Cuban refugees in the U. S. are most likely to start getting serious about settling down for life in the U. S. dulling their desire to return home with personal risk involved. The bulk of disaffected people inside Cuba will lose hope and incentive for futile protests against the regime and start accepting their status as captives of the Communists. Some Cuban activists will not accept the loss of their homeland so easily and may seek release from frustration by liberation operations outside U. S. territory and control. The recent wildcat Cuban scheme to bomb Habana from Central America is an example; - Our probes of the guerrilla potential inside Cuba have been hampered by similar morale factors. Cubans sent to risk their lives on missions inside Cuba feel very much alone, except for their communications link back to the U. S. They are unable to recruit freedom fighters aggressively by the time-proven method of starting an active resistance and thus attracting rec ruits: U. S. guidelines to keep this short of a revolt have made the inten- tion behind the operation suSpect to local Cubans. The evidence of some intent is seen in the recent maritime re-supply of the team in Pinar del Rio. We brought in extra weapons, for which there were immediate recruits; if we were to exploit the evident guerrilla potential in this province, it appears likely that we would have to furnish supplier: by air and probably open the U. S. to strong charges of furnishing such support to Cuban resistance elements. Therefore. we have been unable to surface the Cuban?resistance potential to a point where we can measure it realistically. The only way this can be done, accurately, is when resistance actually has a rallying point of freedom fighters who appear'to the Cuban people to have some chance of winning, and that means at least an implication that the U. S. is in support. Word-of-mouth information that such a freedom movement is afoot could cause the majority of the Cuban people to choose sides. It would be the first real?opportunity for them to do so since Castro and the Communists came to power. There was littlesppo'rtunity for the Cuban people to join an active resistance in April 1961; there is less opportunity today. If the Cuban people are to feel they have a real opportunity, they must have something which they can join with some belief in its success. 7 Page 3 PROJECTION (PHASE II). As a help towards the making of a U. S. decision on a future course of action, the Operational Representatives developed working statements of four possibilities; at my re quest they have commented on the positive and negative factors worth considering for each possible course, and it is suggested that these thoughtful statements are worth reading in full. The working statements of the choices open to the U. S. are as follows: a. Cancel Operational plans; treat Cuba as a Bloc nation; protect Hemisphere from it, or b. Exert all possible diplomatic, economic, and other pressures to overthrow the Castro-Communist regirne without overt employment of U. 8. military, or c. Commit U. S. to help Cubans overthrow the Castro-Communist regime, with a step-by-step phasing to ensure success. including the use of. U. 5. military force if required at the end, or d. Use a provocation and overthrow the Castro-Communist regime by U. 5. military force. RECOMMENDATION . It is recommended that this review of Phase I be considered by the Special Group as providing the ope rational basis for guidelines and objectives for Phase II. It is a matter of urgency that these he arrived at by the Special Group, to?permit developing specific plans and schedules for Phase II. - 4 Attachments "Eyes Only" cepies to:- Special Group (Augmented) l.

We brought in extra weapons, for which there were immediate recruits; if we were to exploit the evident guerrilla potential in this province, it appears likely that we would have-to furnish supplier: by air and probably open the U. S. to strong charges of furnishing such support to Cuban resistance elements. Therefore, we have been unable to surface the Cuban resistance 4 potential to a point where we can measure it realistically. The only way this can be done, accurately, is when resistance actually has a rallying point of freedom fighters who appear to the Cuban people to have some chance of winning, and that means at least an implication that the U. S. is in support. Word-of?mouth information that such a freedom movement is afoot could cause the majority of the Cuban people to choose sides. It w? would be the first real opportunity for them to do so since Castro and the Communists came to power. There was little opportunity for the Cuban .2 people to join an active resistance in April 1961; the re is less opportunity xv?? today. If the Cuban peeple are to feel they have a real opportunity, they ?p-?lz-Cu must have something which they can join with some belief in its success. . 7 . NH 54214 Page 3 NH 54214 PROJECTION (PHASE II). As a help towards the making of a U. S. decision on a future course of action, the Operational Representatives developed working statements of {our possibilities; at my request they have commented on the positive and negative factors worth considering for eachjpossible course, and it is?suggested that these thoughtful statements are worth reading in full. The working statements of the choices open to the U. S. are as follows: a. Cancel operational plans; treat Cuba. as a Bloc nation; protect Hemisphere from it, or b. Exert all possible diplomatic, economic, and other pressures to overthrow the Castro-Communist regirne without overt employment of U.S. military, or Commit U. S. to help Cubans overthrow the Castro-Communist regime, with a step-by-step phasing to ensure success, including the use of U. 5. military force if required at the end, or d. Use a provocation andoverthrow the Castro-Communist regime by U. S. military, force. .1 It is recommended that this review of Phase I be considered by the Special Group as providing the operational basis for guidelines and objectives for Phase II. It is a matter of urgency that these be arrived at by the Special Group, to permit developing specific plans and schedules for Phase II. 4 Attachments "Eyes Only" copies to: Special Group (Augmented) 1.

Mr. Bundy cautioned that this could lead to an uncontrollable action internally, which might come to a head at a time which would be embarrassing or inconvenient for the U.S. Mr. Rusk also urged that the security committee of the GAS be used as a vehicle to try to get more cooperation from Latin American countries, in the anti-Castro campaign. In conclusion, Mr. Rusk asked that the program be revised to permit the building up of?a wider range of eventual choices, and to effect the removal of any target date. ?Thomas Parrott No distribution, except General Lansdale 075 METJ ule?yz- mm 54214 Page 4 AGENCY RECORD NUMBER RECORDS SERIES AGENCY FILE NUMBER .

Dr. Gottlieb was, at that time, an employee of the CIA. The CIA Review Staff has informed me 'Wat Dr. Gottlieb Q9 often travelled pndEffState?DeparEment Covc? As I indicated I today, the Commi tee has received documents from the CIA which raise the possibility that Dr. Gottlieb travelled to the Congo from Washington, D. C., arriving approximately on September 27, 1960. he probably travelled to Brazzaville and immediately made his way to Leonoldville. It also appears that the person in question -- probably Dr. Gottlieb -- from Leopoldville for the United States on October 5. The.Committee would be interested in any record of such a trip that might be derived from a review of passports issued to Dr. Gottlieb (either in his true name or under alias) or from any more detailed travel records that might be on .file, such as personnel orders, travel documents, and any pertinent cables. - - Thanks very much for the help you volunteered on phone.

The two action teams in place currently only collecting intelligence, n_o_t_ actions (sabotage. etc. Several small caches of arms, ammunition, medicines - n_o large ones (to support large guerrilla action). 3. CIA in touch with many Cuban exile groups and individuals in U.S. Latin America, elsewhere - mostly to keep tabs on potential resources or collect information. Offered to help steer about 250 men into U.S. military program, many of whom believed be out of condition. 4. We have listed over 200 Cuban anti -Castro organizations, mostly in U.S. but some in Puerto Rico, Latin America, and inside Cuba? itself. '23 are major groups, 22 of which headquartered in Miami, 1 in Puerto Rico. Others mostly quite small. Many splinter factions. Some are Inilitant, such as Alpha 66 and the Cuban Libera- tion Army (Colonels Barquin and Martin), and remain outside U. S. control. It is possible they have groups of Cubans in secret training in U.S. and unreported to U.S. agencies. 5. U.S. Army program. Openly military service, but "Cuban Brigade" been noised about. 730 Cubans at Fort Knox today. 125 en route today to Fort Knox. l, 580 Cubans in Miami have been referred to U.S. Army recruiting station. Future 1. Castro is currently vulnerable, and might remain so until Soviet equipment is crated and is seen departing Cuba by the peOple. Vulnerability could lead to coup by old guard Communists, young palace pro -Soviets, or 2.6 July leaders still in official positions. It might be bloodless, to satisfy both U.S. and USSR with a new look, but have Soviet ties. U.S. could undertake covert actions to generate ?ctions against Castro, but time is running out. 2. Cuban people reportedly feel let down by U.S. Doubtful if U.S. -agencies could sponsor a Cuban revolt, covertly. Cubans would foresee another Hungary. DucId:329TT??l Page 2 SI 3. Majority of Caribbean countries reportedly feel let down by U.S. negotiation with USSR and by-pass of Castro/Communist problem in Cuba. Unless U.S. acts firmly on latter problem (to prevent subversion. insurgency by Castro [Communists in Hemisphere from Cuban base), it will be extremely difficult for U.S. agencies obtain Latin American help to mount covert operations against Cuba in future . 4. Possibly an independent Cuban group, such as Manolo Ray?s in Puerto Rico/Miami, could attempt an overthrow of Castro. Possibility being examined by Morales of State (Deputy to Ed Martin).

All militant Operations (sabotage, etc.) under U.S. control are being held at a stop. Volatile Cuban personnel in operations feel highly frustrated. Some 75 in safehouses and trainingsites, U.S. Two action teams inside Cuba, one small, other has about 200 followers. Resentment over U.S. closure of solving Cuban problem could lead to acts to embarrass U.S. Z. All U.S. covert assets turned over to USIA control for contingency period. Assets include Radio Americas (Swan Island). - 3. Intelligence collection underrU.S. control, including by resources inside Cuba, continues.

Alpha 66, a Cuban group quite independent of U.S. control, reportedly had planned an attack against a missile site on 30 October - by organization members inside Cuba. No further 'report. 5. On 28 October, CINCLANT was told (by JCS message) to be on lookout for Alpha 66 and prevent any operations against Cuba at this time. CINCLANT ordered his forces to look out for such units ?(in high-speed craft) and prevent operations against Cuba. Orders remain in effect. Ten men en route picked up today by . Coast Guard. Resources 1. CIA. has about 75 Cubans in U.S. capable of militant (sabotage. etc.) operations. Mostly separate groups, 2-5 men, in safehouse areas. Largest group is 20 men.

Sabotage Operation General Carter reported that information should be available by Sunday as to the success of this previously-approved operation. Mr. . Bundy requested that the White House be informed as soon as the information is obtained. 2. General Lansdale commented in general on his paper of August Sist. He noted that some of the operational representatives had questioned whether this was responsive to the changed situation by the issuance of NSAM 181, but said that this plan had been prepared within the framework of the previously-approved guidelines (those of Angust 16). Mr. Bundy noted that most of the paperwork in response 181 has been done and the President's statement of Tuesday night had clarified the situation to a considerable degree. He thus felt thatthe approach taken in the August 3lst paper was satisfactory. 3. The following specific comments were then made on Activities listed in the paperi (It should be noted that final approval was not given to the paper at this meeting.) a.

The Group agreed that such planning, in addition to the military contingency plans already prepared, must be pursued. Althodgh recognizing that this type of activity is not within the MONGOOSE framework, Mr. General Lansdale's group, particularly the State representative, :hgfd5do the initial exploration of possibilities for later consideration by the Special Group, the Secretary of State_and higher authority. 0n the other hand, General Carter felt strongly that if General Lansdale and his associates were given the responsibility for developing the spectrum of possible decisions/of this kind, it would inevitably detract from the time available for MONGOOSE operations.

G. Lansdale Operation MONGOOSE - End of Phase 1 REFERENCE: Your Memorandum dated 11 July 1962, Subject 7 as Above 1. Pursuant to reference memorandum and in accordance with our previous discussions, set out below are comments for inclusion in your overall report to the Special Group (Augmented) at the con- clusion of the first phase of Operation Mongoose, 31 July 1962. In preparing these comments it was found necessary to defer finalizing them until we had an opportunity to review and check them against the 23 July 1962 draft of NIE 85-2-62, a copy of which is available to you. 2. BACKGROUND, PURPOSE, AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS -Phase I: a. On 16 March 1962, the Special Group (Augmented) approved Phase I of Operation Mongoose authorizing and directing that between that date and 31 July 1962, CIA mount a concentrated operational program to collect intelligence concerning Cuba and to develop, insofar as possible, clandes- tine resistance cadres inside Cuba. This plan authorized intelligence - political, economic, and covert actions, short of those reasonably calculated to inspire revolt within the target area or otherwise require U. S. armed intervention. The plan required that actions taken during Phase I should be consistent with overt policies'of isolating Castro in the Western Hemisphere and be undertaken in such a way as to permit U.S. disengagement with minimum losses of assets and prestige . Major operations going beyond the collection of intelligence . have required approval in advance by the Special Group (Augmented). b. Phase I of Operation Mongoose did not provide for a maximum operational program against Cuba and did not authorize any extensive use of U.S. military personnel, EXCLUDED FROM cos NH 54214 Page 2 . 0' NH 54214 bases. and facilities. No decision was made to undertake a phased operation to provoke a revolt with the commitment that such revolt would be supported'by U.S. military forces. c. Within the policy limitations of Phase I, it was hoped that the following would be accomplished: The development of an effective functioning operational unit for the conduct of intelligence, logical warfare and covert actions against Cuba. (2) The development in depth of hard intelligence coverage of Cuba. (3) The establishment of limited resistance cadres inside Cuba and an adequate assessment of the resistance potential, as well as operational conditions affecting the possibilities of organizing and inciting a major revolt. (4) Keep alive, insofar as possible, the spirit of resistance inside Cuba and exploit any possibilities that appeared for the development of future Cuban leadership and revolutionary doctrine. (5) Determine the possibilities of and, if possible, take action toward splitting the top Cuban leadership. During Phase I the following has been acc0mplished: (1) An effective operational unit for the conduct of multi -purpose_0perations against Cuba has been established and is functioning well. We of 23 July, 477 CIA staff per- sonnel are devoting full time to this effort. In addition, a very large number of additional personnel are devoting part -time efforts to Operation Mongoose. (2) Point c(2) above has been accomplished. Hard intelligence coverage of Cuba at the present time exists in depth and has increased substantially since the inception of Phase 1. Through this coverage we now have an excellent understanding of military, political, economic and resistance conditions and activities inside Cuba as re?ected only by NOF TINUE TROL Page 3 8118188888 1881818m1 881 by 188 11188111g81?188 881188188 31118111111118.8188 18 188 1881118 88m111g 88 82281:.

Had we been permitted to mount a more intensive and aggressive effort, the original in?ltration schedule probably would have been met, possibly exceeded. {o_u will recall that it was pointed out to the Special Group in March 1962. that the full imple - mentation of the ope rational plan for infiltration would require use of Defense facilities which were not subsequently as a matter of policy, forthcoming. The speed with which and the extent to which we can in the future infiltrate black teams for resistance purposes into Cuba will of course depend upon policy approvals by higher authority and the amount of support we can count on thereunder. Although we have had losses in connection with the teams infiltrated, Phase I has demonstrated that we can successfully infiltrate such teams and that, given proper policy approval and sufficient support, we can greatly increase the resistance cadres and activities inside Cuba. (4) With regard to? Point c(4) above, our activities, we believe, have had a substantial effect in supporting a spirit of resistance inside Cuba. This effect has not of course been as great as it would have been had we been able to mount a maximum covert action, paramilitary and warfare operation. We have not been success- ful in developing aneffective revolutionary movement or leadership around which a Cuban revolt inside Cuba could .be ralliedat the present time. (5) With regard to Point c(5) above, we have developed a number of promising leads to the top Cuban leadership, but no immediate current possibility of splitting it. OPERATIONAL ES TIMATE: a. The operational estimate of conditions and possibilities inside Cuba is well reflected in the forthcoming NIE 85-2-62. . In summation, based on the intelligence collected and our operational experience during Phase I, it is our conclusion that there is a. sufficiently sub- stantial resistance potential inside Cuba which, given a maximum operational effort, could be organized and incited into open revolt Page 5 NH 54214 provided the Cubans could be assured that if they themselves revolted their revolt would be supported by U. S. intervention and that the U. 5. would not permit it to be crushed by Castro's military and police counteraction. It is our opinion that there is an excellent chance such a revolt could be incited by late 1963 if we embark on a maximum operational Possible dissatisfaction with the Cuban regime inside Cuba has materially increased over the past several -months and is likely to continue to increase for some time. It is not likely to result in spontaneous revolt or in major widespread resistance without organized assistance and support from the U. S. The Military/Security/Police apparatus of the Castro regime is, effective and its effectiveness can be expected to increase. It is and will remain, in our opinion, for the foreseeable future, capable of containing and eventually destroying the bulk of any unorganized, unsupported resistance or revolt which may arise in Cuba. If a revolt in Cuba is organized and incited, it will be destroyed at best within a matter of a few days if it is not supported by substantial military force. b. With regard to the influence of Castro and Cuba else- where in the Western Hemisphere, the appeal of Castroism as such has dimmed appreciably in other Latin American states during the past several months, although there are many indica- tions that Castro's Cuba is still active in subversive activities . elsewhere in the Hemisphere, including firm evidence that Cuba provided $10, 000 to the 13th of November Guatemalan revolutionary group in Mexico City. It cannot be overstressed, however, that I the Cuban regime has proven that violent social revolution and a break with the U.S. is possible in Latin America and will be supported by the Soviet Bloc without the USSR necessarily insist- ing on complete traditional communist control. The appeal of the Cuban example will increase in other Latin American states if reform lags and if hopes and "promises remain unfulfilled. Cuba also represents and will continue to represent a danger because its subversive activities might at any time provide the spark that would set off explosions in unsettled countries, for example, Venezuela and Guatemala. In addition, Cuba represents of course the dangerous example of a communist regime within the Western Hemisphere in defiance of the United States and breaching hemispheric solidarity. DunIu:32911065 Page 5? NH 54214 4. FUTURE COURSES OF ACTION: Set out below are comments on the four possible future courses of action outlined in Paragraph 5 of reference memorandum: Cancel operational plans; treat Cuba as a Bloc nation; protect hemisphere from it:" If this course of action is adopted by higher authority, it will not result in the overthrow or probably in any material change in the Castro regime in the foreseeable future. If this course of?action is adopted, the extent of effort currently being devoted by CIA and other agencies to Operation Mongoose should be reviewed and reconsidered and probably seriously curtailed. If this course of action is adopted, the U.S. Government will of course receive increased pressure from the multitudinous Cuban exile groups and will be faced with an increasing level of irresponsible unilateral Cuban actions based in and from the U.S.. Exert all possible diplomatic, and other_pressures to overthrow the Castro-Communist regime without overt U.S. military conunitment:" This course of action, which is very close to that undertaken in Phase I of Operation Mongoose, is not likely to result in the overthrow of the Castro regime in the foreseeable future and unless it is intensified to the point of substantially raising the ?noise level" inside and outside the U. S. its effectiveness is likely to be limited to the collection of intelligence and to the containing of Cuba at about the present level. If this course of action is adopted, certain portions of the present CIA effort probably should be terminated, particularly the infiltra_t_ig_n_o_f_hlack resistance teams, since without some phased plan for action these teams are being jeopardized to little purpose. Commit U. S. to help Cubans overthrow the Castro -Com- munist regime, with a step -by-step phasintho ensure success, includ?g the use of U.S. military force if required at the end. This is, in effect, the original operational proposal presented to the Special Group (Augmented) and disapproved in favor of Phase I on 16 March 1962. If this course of action is adopted, and if we are permitted thereunder in the immediate future to mount an all- . out maximum operational effort to establish and support. resistance Page NH 54214 CONTINUED inside Cuba with full covert use of military facilities and personnel,_ there is amof "muting a revolt inSide Cuba by?te 1963. This would require maximal effort keyed-to a phased plan and would require decision now to commit U.S. Forces to support such a revolt since, even if incited, such a revolt cannot be kept alive more than a few daysin the face of Cuban military and security counteraction unleSs the revolt is supported by substantial military forces. This phasing is necessary too since, unless we can assure the Cubans that if they are able to revolt they will be supported, our chances of inducing them to engage in resistance and revolt to a sufficient extent to constitute more than an irritant to the Castro regime are remote. Details and specifics of the necessary actions to implement this course of action have been discussed with you on a number of occasions. Basic to success- ful implementation of such a course of action, and particularly the clandestine operational phases thereof, are a series of policy decisions by higher authority at the inception which would permit the operational units sufficient flexibility and freedom of action and decision within clearly understood policy parameters to effectively implement the operations involved on a phased. basis. Use a provocation and overthrow the Castro -Communist mime by U.S. military force:" This course of action involves a policy decision by higher authority beyond the purview of CIA. If higher authority decides on this course of action, CIA is of course prepared to assist in developing the necessary provocation to justify such intervention and to assist in implementing this course of action with full intelligence and covert assets. 5. It is hoped that the above comments will be of some assistance to you in preparing your overall report on Phase I of Operation Mongoose to the Special Group (Augmented) It would be appreciated if you would make available to us copies 'of your report to the Special Group in order that we may comment as appropriate. If any further details or comments from us would be helpful, please let me know. (signed) WILLIAM K.

BUNDY SUBJECT: Support of Comandos-L You will recall that the attached preposal dealing with Comandos L, .has been discussed several times by the Special Group. It was first Vtabled on the 15th of August and deferred because the paper had just been distributed. It came up again on the 29th of August and you put 'it over to allow Mr. McCone to give his personal views. It then was thoroughly discussed on the 5th of September. An excerpt from the minutes of that meeting is attached. You then proposed to discuss it with the Group on the 19th of September; in your absence I raised it but got no reaction. I fully realize that other considerations, particularly vis-a-vis Gromyko, changed the atmosphere somewhat, after the meeting of the 5th of September. A brand new develOpment has now arisen, however, which makes it desirable to get a decision on this. I N-Ngk The new development is that the FBI has passed to the British a fairly detailed and accurate report on the organization and planning 3 of Comandos L. Among other things, it mentions the plan to stage through I an island in the Bahamas, probably Andros. The FBI, in proper cousinly fashion, passes reports of this kind to the British from time to time, when they involVe British territory. The point is of course that if we are going to cooperate with Comandoc L, then we would want to get the.PBI a2- l?$?30 stop passage of such reports. f; ?v:ma?a? ha The Operators feel that they could undoubtedly pick up useful contact again, and they still believe in the project. State is still dubious. Ed Martin said the other day, in Johnson's absence, that Johnson's under- standing was that.if you got a favOrable reaction from HA, you would then put this back to the Department and allow them to open up discussions all over again. This was by no means my understanding of what you proposed to do (although of course this was before any change in general climate). I am sure I accurately reflected what you said at the September 5th meeting, and I think suggested your general attitude, which did not seem to be as Martin describes it.

Submitted herewith for consideration and approval is a covert programtfor??h?_support of an autonomous Cuban exile group. This program.is an implementing measure of the previously approved course of action in reference memorandum, which calls for support of autonomous anti-Castro groups as part of the integrated program of action towards Cuba. 2. It is proposed that non-attributable support in the form of funds, materiel and guidance be furnished to the action element of a Cuban exilewgroup known as Comandos which is an offshoot of the exile action group originally known as Alpha 66. This support would only be.furnished if a mutually acceptable modus vivendi can be agreed upon which does not conflict with current U.S.G. policy. Comandos have been conducting fund drives and the money collected 0 saw 1 Excluded mm: mu: 3 Ind Page 2 appears to have been properly handled and applied to anti- Castro propaganda and action operations. The group's present primary action program calls for maritime operations, attacking shipping in Cuban waters and making commando-type attacks on targets in Cuba. To date they have conducted?at least one such Operation in Cuban_waters; in this operation which took place in March 1963 the group fired on an unidentified ship (which turned out to be a Russian freighter) in the Cuba _harbor of Caibarien. The group has been relatively inactive since the recent restrictions were placed on the movement of certain Cuban activists and their boats but recent reports several boats and some personnel to the base. There are also reports that several factions of the action element of Comandos have had discussions with Luis Somoza of Nicaragua and are considering Operation out of Nicaragua if Somoza will support them. i .3. The general lines of the proposed program would be as V'follows: A. oss CONCEPT: The conduct by Comandos of'a series of anti-Castro NH 54214 Page 3 NH 54214 maritime operations along the of Cuba; particularly during the light of the moon period when unilateral CIA maritime Operations are not being con- ducted. These Operations would provide valuable support to the CIA Operations by wearing down Cuban coastal defenses and by_preventing the establishment of any dis- cernible Operational pattern. The successful execution of these Operations would.also make a significant con- tribution to the Objectives of reference program in that such Operations will stimulate internal resistance and weaken Castro/Communist efforts to consolidate the position Of the regime. 3- W: No more than two Operations per month would b84399? ducted with the targets being Cuban patrol vessels and] or Cuban owed shipping in Cuban harbors a: waters and coastal installations such warehouses and other such facilities.? The selection of targets for prOposed Operations will be reviewed by the Cuban front (and thence covertly by CIA) for conformance with whatever policy framework may obtain at the time. Any deviations from approved proposals will be dealt with on an ex post facto basis in line with paragraph 3F below. Page 4? NH 54214 SO I c. MODUS OPERANDI: A wealthy,American_ who has ?been deeply involved.in Cuban and.Latin.American _affairs for many years and who 3 has cooperated closely with ClAiin_ the past, would be asked :9 by CIA to present the program to an eminent and respected m- Cuban_ exile who in turn would be asked to. act as a funding wanes??V" a? -x umm and cover front for the support to be furnished to_ Comandos L. The Cuban front would then approach the leadership of the COmandos action element and indicate? 'funds come from conservative elements of the Cuban exile community and from contributors located in Central.America and in the United States. CIA or U.S. Government involve- ment would not be revealed to any members of Comandos L. The Cuban front would spell out the use of a Caribbean Operations Base and why he wants to concentrate on the North Coast, 1.6., accessibility. Additional ground rules would also be established regarding target selection and tactics.' The essential point would be made that final authority for all actions rests with the Cuban front or his representative. If Comandos accepts this proposition, the Cuban front would thenwgo Operations Base under guidance from the American cutout. L?nw A?fl? ?um?q. Ina-75? - Eage 5 Once a Base is obtained, members of the Comandos would depart legally from the United States to a Caribbean country where they would board fishing vessels, previded by the Cuban front, which would then take them to the Caribbean_0perations Base. From the Operations Base, strike boats would be towed to close proximity off the North Coast where they would then be released to carry out their mission. After completing a mission, the strike boats would rendezvous with the fishing_boats and then return to the operational base. Upon completion of an Operation, appropriate relatively lowhkey publicity releases will be made outside the U.S. in consonance with guidance furnished covertly by the CIA. D. OPERATIONAL BASE: am I A British IslandL?igane 3M5 03.70119 0f tw Ca Islands would serve as Caribbean Base for Comando?;y. The Island would be leased by contacts of the Cuban front or the American cutout under a suitable cover story. ?g would not plan to inform the British of the activities of the group or of U.S. involvement. .eo'f'rr) r, . s. on SUPPORT: We estimate the initial capital investment of approxi- mately one hundred thousand dollars would have to be made nunIa:329?1013 Page 6 to provide, through appropriate cover, for the establish- - ?amend?.5, ..- .. ment of the Base camp, procurement of fishing and?gsgigg boats, and other required materiel and services. It is' estimated that Operating costs would be about $15,090 based on approximately 20 men with two fishing and two strike boats. To the fullest extent possible, Comandos personnel or the Cuban front will accomplish all their own procurement and other reuuired activities. Any specialized equipment or guidance which must be pro- vided by the CIA will be non-attributable and accomplished by appropriate covert mechanisms. - F. U.S. It is felt that an acceptable degree of 0.3. Government influence can be the Comandos action operations by having the Cuban front making it clear that any actions not in accordance with the agreements (which CIA 'will stipulate through the American cutout), will not only result in all support being immediately terminated but in addition such actions would undoubtedly result in enshritieh1authorities makin?_a maximum effort to restrict .J future Comandos activities.

It may, however, create a situation which will delay the consolidation and stabilization of Castro's revolution and may cause some of his 26' July followers to doubt Castro's ability successfully to create a new Cuba. Losses in men and equipment with the attendant adverse publicity must be expected. Even without such losses, U. S. attribution will be claimed. 'When the policy and guidelines of the overall sabotage program are established, it will be possible progressively to develop up to a limit additional covert assets and support capabilities. However, materially to increase the pace of operations, a-period of four to six months is required. Ultimate limiting factors are weather, length of ?dark-of- the-moon" period each month and appropriate targets. A source of additional agent personnel is from Cuban personnel trained by the U. S. Military Forces under the recent programs, but released to civilian status. NH 54214 Page 2 NH 54214 II. PREVIOUSLY APPROVED PROGRAMS A. SUBTLE SABOTAGE PROGRAM The use of a variety of prOpaganda media to stimulate passive resistance and low-risk, simple sabotage actions by the populace of Cuba. Acts such as the contamination of fuels and lubricants, the introduction of foreign material into moving parts of machinery, and administrative acts of omission and commission are illustrative examples of type of activity which we will attempt to stimulate. This program was later supplemented by approval to incite Cubans within Cuba to commit acts of sabotage and harassment against Soviet personnel in Cuba, with a view toward making the Soviet presence'in Cuba increasingly more onerous, embarrassing and untenable. Acts such as the use of "Russian go home" slogans would be urged and unattributable mail propaganda will call for more aggressive actions such as physical violence against Soviet personnel and equipment. CAPABILITIES The keystone of the Subtle Sabotage-program is the unattributed mailing program The mailing program is being conducted from most Latin American countries, some European countries, and the United States and currently involves about 50, 000 pieces of mail per month. Prepaganda Page 3 NH 54214 and instructions are sent giving a variety of subtle sabotage techniques in appropriate detail. Several hundred letters are infiltrated into Cuba each month for domestic mailing in support of this program. The-mailing program is being supplemented by the use of short and medium wave broadcasts beamed at Cuba from eight different stations. The main technique is to air real or fabricated letters telling of acts of sabotage and resistance within Cuba and referring to historical examples. Thus Without exhorting the Cubans to action, we are giving them examples of what they can do and how to do it while subtly encouraging them to participate. As other harassment/ sabotage programs progress, we plan to replay more and more actual cases. of happenings, both of our ownactivities and of independent resistance elements. Our propaganda efforts will also be intensified with increased emphasis on stimulating active opposition to the regime and acts of major sabotage and harassment. PACE The mailing program will remain at appro?mately 30,000 pieces per month with the emphasis on subtle sabotage . 5863? 1 Elfin-35.! 5:23: . 231 Page 4 NH 54214 gradually being increased. We expect to increase the in?ltration of items for mailing within Cuba to about 800 pieces per month by developing additional diplomatic and legal traveler channels. We are developing a comprehen-' sive pamphlet giving detailed instructions on the theory and practice of resistance with an emphasis on subtle sabotage. These will be introduced in a variety of ways at the appropriate time. The radio broadcasts currently beam 270 hours per week at Cuba from 8 different stations. Throughout these broadcasts subtle sabotage themes are inserted. Plans are underway to increase the broadcast hours to 350 per week, utilizing a total of 12 stations and gradually stepping up the emphasis on subtle sabotage. B. SABOTAGE OF CUBAN OWNED SHIPPING Two types of sabotage have been approved: (1) The placing of incendiary devices and/or explosives - with.? . suitable time delay within the hull or cargo to disable or sink Cuban vessels and/or damage their cargos while on the high seas. (2) Introducing abrasives or other damaging materials into the propulsion, communication and other systems of the ship to inactivate the ship. Page 5 CAPABILITIES At the present time there are agent assets ?of varying quality aboard 12 Cuban merchant ships (approxi- I, mately half of the Cuban Merchant Marine). Although a quarter of these agents agreed to undertake sabotage during the crisis period of September-October 1962, none of them was tested in this regard. Most of the others have not been asked. We are confident that a major act of sabotage can be achieved against two or three of these vessels. It may be possible, however, to deve10p more limited acts of sabotage in a larger number of ships. - PACE Barring unusual circumstances, it should be possible to accomplish an initial major act of sabotage on a Cuban ship prior to mid-June. Following the initial effort and depend- ing upon the reliability of the various recruited agents on board, it should be possible to develop an operation of this type at an approximate rate of one per month as long as NH 54214 Page 6 NH 54214 NEW PROPOSALS SHIPPING A. ADDITIONAL MEANS OF SABOTAGE OF CUBAN OWNED The placing of explosive devices with suitable time delays on the outside of ships either in Cuban or in non-Cuban ports. CAPABILITIES A six man Cuban underwater demolition team (UDT) has been undergoing training and will be in operational readiness by the end of June 1963. They are competent in the use of open and closed circuit SCUBA and have been conducting simulated limpet operations using inert materials. Their training will be completed in June, culminating in a series of exercises using live demolitions under operational conditions. Adequate intelligence support and targetting data are available I to plan and eitecute UDT operations in selected ports. In some cases non-UDT assets in small boats may be used to place ?limpets on Cuban ships. PACE The first attack could be made in July 1963 and we could mount one every other month thereafter, depending upon the location and availability of targets. Preliminary targetting - yam1 3:13;: amma?c LL: :rsling and --. ?may?! Page indicates that the first such operations would probably take place at Cuban south coast ports such as Manzanillo or Niquero or on a Cuban ship in a free world port permitting access to BENEFITS Increased strain on Soviet/Bloc shipping. Destruction or damage to vital cargos. Disruption of shipping schedules - particularly the delivery of vital materials and spare parts. Demoralization of Cuban crews. REPERCUSSIONS Allegations of U. S. sponsorship. Alleged ?murder" of Cuban sailors. Claims that ships were torpedoed by U. S. submarines. Possible reprisals against U. S. ships. Estimate of Soviet Reactions: Whenever an incident occurs, the Soviets will be quick to suspect U. S. involvement; they are likely to set in motion .I - a ?Eh-553?: 1:2? 232:..Jhd .. r- HH 54214 Page 3 NH 54214 their propaganda machines to allege at least U. S. connivance, although this probably will not develop into a major campaign unless the Soviets manage to turn up some tangible evidence of U. S. implication. If there are recurrent incidents, the Soviets may utilize diplomatic channels and possibly the UN to bring pressure the program. It is barely possible that?if a pattern of incidents develops the Soviets through their own sabotage apparatus, or by inciting the Cubans, may engage in some sabotage of'U. S. vessels. They would hope in this way to get across the message that two can play the game and thus to get the program stopped. But the Soviets would be aware of the risks of getting caught at this sort of retaliation and these risks are likely to have a very considerable sobering in?uence on them. Perhaps some- whatmore likely, the Soviets might encourage the Cubans to supply ship crews with small arms with which to attack the sabotage teams, if they are detected, and thus to ward off the program. In general, however, forceful reactions directly involving the Soviets seem unlikely. Page 9 NH 54214 B. HARASSMENT CUBAN SHIPS IN CUBAN WATERS Surface attacks by Maritime assets firing on Cuban ships in Cuban waters. Where the maritime asset cannot reach the target, shore based attacks on shipping in port or passing among the offshore keys may. be undertaken. CAPABILITI ES .Our present maritime assets have an acceptable capability to attack Cuban ships with recoilless ri?es, rocket launchers or automatic weapons such as 20 mm. cannon. The craft which we would probably use are sport fishermen manned by Cubans and capable of speeds in excess of 30 kts. By the end of July we expect toadd two PT type, gas turbine boats to our ?eet, whose 40 kt. plus speed and maneuverability will significantly increase our Surface attack capability. Adequate- intelligence support and targetting data are available properly to plan and execute these attacks on selected Cuban ships. For shore based attacks two separate groupsCubans have been given thorough paramilitary training and, while only a few have had any operational experience to date, they are considered operationally ready for two or three 1 mm mm mung?: cw wee 5' . Page ID NH 54214 man teams to be infiltrated on one of the off-shore keys or on the approaches to a. harbor from which they could fire on Cuban ships with recoilless ri?es or rocket launchers. Adequate intelligence support and target data are available pr0per1y to plan and execute these operations againstselected Cuban ships. PACE The first surface attack could'be launched in May with one every month thereafter. With sufficient targets, two attacks per month are possible. Preliminary targetting indicates the first such operations would probably be conducted in the Cayo Frances Area of Northern Las Villas or in the Gulfo de Guacanayabo off Southern Oriente. If surface attacks cannot reach a target, an alterna- tive shore-based attack could be made in June 1963 and one every month thereafter. Preliminary targetting indicates the first such operations would probably be conducted off the north coast of Camaguey in the Cayo Cruz area or off the south coast of Camaguey in the Jardines de la Reina area. BENEFITS Disruption of coastal commerce. Increased strain on Cuban land transportation. Page 11 NH 54214 Increased strain on Cuban patrol resources. Increased morale of Exiles. Increased morale of internal resistance. REPERCUSSIONS Charges of U. S. sponsorship; Increased vigilance of Cuban patrols. Increased Soviet deliveries of sea and air patrol craft. Aggressive Cuban patrols may cause incidents thru attack on innocent ships. Possible reprisal attacks. Estimate of Soviet Reactions: As in the case of earlier exile attacks on Cuban shipping, the Soviets will be intent on demonstrating or at least alleging U. S. culpability and to draw from the U. S. some sort of a commitment not to support further such activities. A sizable Soviet propaganda campaign is probable including possible . recourse to the UN. Moscow is under some handicap, however, in alleging U. S. involvement because if it makes too much of a case it will lay itself Open to Chinese assertions that it was Page 12 12' gullible last October in accepting U. S. non-invasion assurances. There almost certainly would not be any direct Soviet counter-action outside the immediate vicinity of Cuba and, even in the Cuban area, the Soviets are likely to let the Cubans themselves carry the brunt of the response. Within these general limits, the Soviets may supply the Cubans with additional hardware (various small craft,_ aircraft with air-to-surface weapons and coastal weapons) and training with which to counter the program. The Cubans themselves might be encouraged to undertake some hit-and?run raids of their own, though the Soviets would recognize that if such retaliation were to escalate into US-Cuban incidents a dangerous crisis could soon ensue. Soviet ability to support the Cubans militarily would of course be very limited. The Soviets are therefore likely to be quite cautious in encouraging any aggressive Cuban responses. C. EXTERNALLY MOUNTED HIT AND RUN ATTACKS AGAINST LAND TARGETS Attacks by external assets against targets of minor economic importance would be primarily harassment, while attacks against major economic targets would be sabotage. Illustrative examples of harassment NH 54214 Page 13 NH 54214 and railroad and Sabotage targets include the petroleum 33nd electric power plants such as the onege? I, CAPABILITIES Two separate groups of Cubansmen, have been given thorough paramilitary . training and while only a few have had any operational experience they are consider-ed operationally ready, the effectiveness of the men under combat?conditions- is unknown.- The size of the team to be infiltrated for the attacks will vary, depending on the target and method of attack. Sophisticated targetting and planning will be required and may necessitate specialized training and equip- ment. The operational tasks envisaged in harassment, such as recoilless ri?e or m.ortar fire, on-selected Cuban installations are simpler than the more complex ones associated with the 1 .i . . 1:27. mum??t .nw- . Page 14 NH 54214 sabotage attacks. The harassment targets will usually be much more accessible than the sabotage targets and the limited missions assigned will be of relatively short duration - a few hours ashore at most and then out - all of which will enhance the chances of success. As the men gain experience under fire, they will become more willing aggressively to press their attacks which in turn will increase the impact on the CDC of these activities. As operational experience is gained the capability for complex sabotage Operations will be enhanced but we feel the possibility of this type of complex operation going awry will remain high and the risk may prove-to be unacceptable. Our targetting and planning capability for this type of operation is considered adequate but will improve. with additional experience. PACE The first harassment attacks could be mounted in, April. Preliminary targett'ing has been done on an oil storage facility at Casilda near Trinidad, Southern Las Villas and this tentatively would be the'first target. I The first sabbtage operation could be mounted in May. Samst-ing?gil refinery I C1..E 1? Exctcisd 13;: E:?i:11 'i :23 i' Preliminary targetting has begun on the? Page 15 as the first target. Thereafter, one harassment attack per month or one sabotage attack every six weeks to two months could be programmed. The number of sabotage targets which can be attacked in this manner is limited. BENEFITS Haras sment Attacks Increased morale in exile community. Some increase in morale of internal resistance elements. Minor or short term economic disruption. Increased strain on Cuban land and naval patrols. Sabotage Attacks: Same as above except Major economic disruption. Increased strain on Soviet aid. REPERCUSSIONS . Charges of U. S. sponsorship.

Increased internal security force activities. [132? 1 it": airtime?? . . NH 5421-! Page 16 NH 54214 Possible reprisal attacks. Estimate of Soviet Reactions: In this case, the Soviets would be under rather more pressure than in the previous ones to come to the direct support of the Cubans since actual attacks on Cuban territory would be involved. Ultimately, the Soviets would however still be con- scious of their inability to provide meaningful military support without running high risks of escalation. Consequently, Soviet responses would be much as those indicated in the previous case: A-propaganda-political? campaign to establish U. S. involvement designed at a minimum to pillory the U. S. and at a maximum to get? the U. S. to stop the program; and additional supplies and training for the Cubans to enable them to resist the incursions more effectively. As in the previous case, the Soviets might encourage the Cubans to do some raiding of their own but they would take care not to become directly involved in such activities and to leave open avenues for their own disengagement in case the situation began to escalate into a dangerous crisis. Page 1? NH 54214 I .D. SUPPORT OF INTERNAL RESISTANCE ELEMENTS Provide guidance and support, both materiel and personnel, to internal resistance elements to permit them to undertake a variety of sabotage and harassment operations; This will be an intensification and augmentation of the subtle sabotage program previously cited. in some cases, it will be possible to control or in?uence the choice of targets and- methods of attack; in other cases the internal elements being supported will attack targets of their ,own choosing and in their own manner. The use of internal elements will be particularly effective against economic targets, such as electric distribution systems, electric plants, oil re?neries in ,nickel plant which our external assets cannot attack I bin acceptable-risk limits. In the main, however, the targets attacked by the internal elements will be targets of opportunity in line with. the capabilities and desires of the individuals or groups participating and will be relatively small operations with a cumulative and hopefully snowballing effect. I I CAPABILITIES We have one blaclt team now in place which has a significant potential for sabotage and harassment attacks if we provide the required guidance and support, The infiltration of additional teams 'underwa as part of our intelligence Page 13 NH 54214 I recently infiltrated team in Northern Las collection program. We can re-orient some of these teams for sabotage harassment purposes. A number of singleton agents are also in place in Cuba. Their potential for sabotage and harassment varies but will be explored and exploited as appropriate. Materiel is available to support the internal assets and a variety of means exist for getting it to them the principal means being maritime in?ltration, diplomatic channels, and concealment in open mail. The reliability of these infiltration mechanisms will be a- limiting factor. Every effort will be made to have the internal assets utilize indigenous materialswhich can be procured legally or illegally. Trained agents are available for infiltration to provide know- how and leadership to internal elements which have the capa- bility to safe-house and utilize them. Instructions on methods of attacking various types of targets and'other forms Iof opera- tional guidance are available and can be made available to internal elements in a number of ways. . PACE The existing team in Southern Pinar del Rio, the 1 m1 {mnmlun Page 19 NH 54214 singleton agents now in place can be queried immediately as to their capabilities for sabotage and harassment, the support they would require, and. the probable timing of the actions. If appropriate, materiel could be delivered relatively quickly by maritime infiltration; the utilization of other means will have to be further explored but it is certain that at least some types of materiel could be introduced within 30 days. Initial sabotage operations would probably take place within 30 days. Other teams scheduled for infiltration or being held for other programs could be oriented toward sabotage and harassment and could attempt to develoP such pragrams upon infiltrating. A series of caching operations could be started immediately .to provide a source of supply-for assets which might develop. The number of such operations per month would depend on the allocation of maritime assets but initially one per month could be undertaken without prejudice to previous cited sabotage programs. -: ?5 Exclude-f Eric: .1.- .: day: 3:75;; :21 Page ED NH 54214 BENEFITS Possibility of major economic damage. Increased morale and inoperation for internal resistance elements. Increased strain on Cuban security forces. Evidence to world that Castro has not succeeded. Probable loss of some of our intelligence assets. Increased repressive security measures. Allegations of U. S. sponsorship and involvement. Possible reprisals in U. S. Estimate of Soviet Reactions: Soviet responses to this type of activity are again likely to be largely in the propaganda and political realms. The Soviets might, however, offer more active support to the Cubans to help suppress internal resistance elements. And they might judge- the risks of their involvement in such counter-action to be smaller than in the previous cases because it would be occurring within Cuban territory. But it is uncertain to what extent Soviet equipment and forces now in Cuba are suitable for internal 1 r4753?: Page 21 NH 54214 anId:3291?014 security operations. More importantly, the Soviets would not be keen either to risk the lives of their own personnel or to become openly involved in killing Cubans. Cons their support would probably be largely in the form of supplies and perhaps training, althongh they probably do not have much that they are able to teach the Gubans in how to conduct irregular warfare.

ADear Walt: Attached are copies of Exhibits 2952 and 2955 to the Warren Commission Report; Exhibit 2952 is a letter from Mr. Hoover to Mr. Rankin in which he states he contacted a representative of CIA about a message turned over to CIA by Dr. Portell?Vila.- An interview of Dr. Portell-Vila about the contents of that message - is Exhibit 2955. It should be noted that on May 22, C) 1964, the CIA representative said the message was not .thought to relate to Oswald, so CIA's files on Oswald might not contain this message.- The staff has not been able to locate any material relating to this matter in CIA files on Oswald on the PreSident's assassination. Therefore, we wish to obtain a copy of the message and all documents relating to it. We also wish to obtain copies of all documents relating to the May 22, 1963 contact which presumably was with Mr. Hoover or someone else in the FBI. We suggest that if the message is not contained in any files on Oswald or the Kennedy assassina- tion, the files of the other individuals named in the two exhibits should be searched.

Request for LBJ Material on Cuba a1 JFK Assassination . FROM: SUBJECT: As you know, research staff members from the Senate Select Committee visited the LBJ Library in Austin three weeks ago and reviewed material relating to alleged attempts to assassinate Cuban Premier Fidel Castro and information related to the Warren Commission Report on the assassination of President Kennedy. As a result of the review of those files, the Senate Select Committee Staff has asked that certain documents be returned and made available to them in Washington. In ac- cordance with the arrangements made between the NSC Staff and Archives, these materials have been forwarded for our review_prior to release to the Sbb?btaii. Accordingly, last . Thursday we received a package of 63 documents from Archives for review. John Matheny and I have reviewed each of these documents and believe that although it is probably not possible to with- old the documents in their entirety, that in many Cases the Committee may be restricted to only having access to the documents on Archives premises. Staff members from the Committee have already reviewed the documents but were not allowed. to take substantive notes during their review. The decuments have been divided into eight separate categories of information,and a. brief discussion and recommendation for handling documents within each of these categories now follows: ?w Page 2 sift? 3 if. .ss The documents themselves are tabbed as an attachment to this memorandum and the letter on the Tab corresponds to the letter associated with the paragraph headings below. A. Papers. Documents 1, la thru 1mwere prepared for, or as a resultof, White House or NSC meetings. Document #li is a a briefing paper for the President for his participa- tion in a meeting and' Document #5 is a record of the meeting of?December 27, 1963 in which the President actually participated. John and I believe these decuments constitute privileged inf0rmation I and, as a result, as a matter of principle 51:03.1? not be physically?turned over to the Committee, . Staff. substantively, We have no objection to allowing the Committee Staff to read this material or, to havg repeated access to it, however. Such access arrange- ments could be worked out through the National Archives or could be handled directly by the NSC Staff. B. CIA Papers. Documents 2, 3, 3a, 3b, 4, ?4a, 4b, 11, 18, 18a, 20, 20a, 22, 23, 23a and 25 were pre- pared by the Central Intelligence Agency and either forwarded directly to the White House or were generally circulated by that agency. John and I have no objection to making these documents available to the SSC Staff but believe that the matter should be resolved by. the CIA. We understand that Document for example, has already been made available by the CIA and would thus believe that CIA would have no objection to also releasing #4a which appears to be an earlier draft of My own reaction is that the release of information contained in many of these documents could be expected to damage either our relations with a particular country, Mexico for example, in the case of Document- 20a, 0r compromise Specific sources and methods of intelligence. I realize, however, that we must defer to CIA on pro- tection of sources and ?methods. 5) NH 54214 Page 3 NH 54214 -3- C. FBI Papers. Documents 10, 12, 12a, 14, 14a, 13, 13a,. 15, 15a, 15b, 16, 16a, 16b, .were preparedi?or are the responsibility of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Again, although we have no major substantive problem with the release of this information on a classified basis, we believe that the FBI should be asked to review it to ascertain that the sources oI?fntelligence? de?fcribed in these would not be unduly comreleasing it to the Sele Committ . Wit regard to documents in the series, I don?t believe that the two covering notes concerning distribution of the document to Governor Connally relate to the Committee inquiry and, thus, would recommend that they simply be removed. In Document 123. itself the matter for resolution by the FBI is whether disclosure of the information would identify sources of intelligence. - Documents in the 13 and 1-5 series relate to intelligence reports on the training of Negroes in Cuba for subversive operations against the United States . Although we don't believe this is relevant to the Committee investigation, we believe the matter of disclosure should be considered by the FBI. In this case, however, recent events would seem to indicate that Cuban training of Negroes in sub- versive operation tactics may not have necessarily been geared toward the United States solely, especially in view of recent deve10pments in Africa. The docu- ments in the #16 series-although they would appear to be relevant to the investigation, relate to sensitive intelligence source materials. This document, however, must also be cleared by the CIA since the last page of the document relates to the CIA Station Chief in a European country. State Department Memorandum. Document 9 is a December 1963 memorandum from Executive Secretary Read to McGeorge Bundy concerning papers prepared for a December Presidential meeting on Cuba. The memorandum indicates that . the papers were prepared for the ?President's", Page 4 F. ?ubelm i??rizsgh Smumams Kit-a 3.11:3 Q-??taim maxi than it; wag magma ram: tits 3mm ?Secretary?s?, Ema m; a. 9 Thaw: i3 2m fax-max- amb?mmtivw ?isau??mm in that damumentu I wmum hawavm, tmtha' m7 5mm as Wham-mgr um um: that simtum?mt be?. raima?m?w Bil}. ?m?vitiw, E?a? 38,.

NH 54214 conservative view, in that in some cases I would recommendM?tY access as opposed to release, Ibelieve the nature of some of the documents is such that copies should not be delivered to the Committee.

I indicated that although the .NSC Staff review is nearly finished, it will be necessary to seek formally the views of other agencies. Although I gave no definite time when we expected to complete our review, I indicated?that I thought by the end of this week there would be an answer ready for them.

I stated that most of my own time on Friday and all of my time today, Monday, hadbeen devoted to this project and, that in my opinion, a subpoena could not quicken a reviewprocess that was already moving at full speed. Mr. Epstein indicated that although they were unhappy with this delay that, for now, they would wait on our review.

BUNDY a ?rm 3 - LY Page 2 SUBJECT: Special Group Meeting - Cuba Here is some miscellaneous information with regard to your Special Group meeting this afternoon on Cuba. 1. Artime Cut-off - As you know, State is pressing tobcut off Artime, large1_ because of his recent irresponsible activity. CIA opposes State on this one for the usual reasons. DOD, reportedly, will also-take a somewhat reluc? tant line on cutting off Artirne. Vance may express the View that a cutoff will drive Artime up the wall and that he will go off and do something that could cause us real trouble vis?a?vis our with the East. For example, he might go off and sink a Soviet ship. DOD would probably prefer-that we phase him out slowly and keep a dialogue going over the cours . of the next few months. The advantage of this would be twofold - First, it would keep Artime quiet; second, his residual power to hurt us, when we finally do out him off, will be reduced. On this one. - I am inclined towards the DOD view. The CIA will probably propose a deal whereby we arrange No to uban pesticides. State and DOD are both likely to oppose ti": [6 one for ch reasons as the fol owing: First, it will mean going to the Dutch [52 Government; it is questionable whether Want to bring up such a proposal with that government, especially if we think the ?odds are high that we will be turned down. Segnd, there is the moral issue?of whether or not we should dilute pesticides hich were given to the Cubans during the prisoner exchange hird, it we highly embarrassing if this one ever leaked out from one the many bases that would have to be touched. I don?t like this one either. 3. Support to RECE - One question which will arise today is whether or not i start giving some low-risk support to RECE. While State and at the working levels, originally were in favor of it. they seem tohave changed th? position. One reason - some of the arguments which are spelled out - LELS 0N1. Mr. Bundy -2- March 4, 1965 attached memo on the subject. Another reason - State does not want to com- promise its position on Artime e. . If you give aid to RECE, how can you 51-. aid to .Artime?). State and DOD will probably propose that, in turning down RECE, we give them $17, 000. The RECE people apparently had to tap a program fund of its small contributors to keep going administratively over the last couple months when Bosch cut them off; they want to return this money to the small contributors. Arguments in favor of giving them the money are: it will lessen the shock of giving RECE a negative reply, they will not look bad among the exiles (we don?t want them to look bad because they are "good guys"), and part of RECE's problem has not been their fault. We have not been able to give RECE as prompt an answer as we would have like (1. I continue to be in favor of not getting involved with I agree that $17, 000 is a small price to pay for a kiss-off. A 4. Keatihg Gimmick - Both DOD and State are told to the idea of having Keating (I understand this now may be changed to Donovan) stir up trouble between the Soviets and the Cubans. DOD feels that such goings-on might be interpreted as some sort of Vietnam play. State feels that such a man wouldn?t get received at a high level; also, there are other ways to do the job if it needs doing. . While I admire ingenuity and I sincerely think we should keep them invention-minded, I must say that this one sounds like a Rube Goldberg con- traption. I am against it. 5. ClA's Paramilitary Capability - Both DOD and State will probably oppose ClA?s proposal to drop its paramilitary capability. I agree with State and DOE that, with the present world situation as it stands, this is a good capability to keep on hand if we possibly can. I would agree to an abandonment of this capability only if it were demonstrated that we could crank it up again in a very short space of time. f. 6C Gordon Chase '1 Date 07/14/98 Page 1 JFK ASSASSINATION SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION FORM AGENCY INFORMATION Eleased under the John .

Essentially, the effort in the bilateral field ?ould represent a continuation, sharpening and . intensification of programs already in effect. Measures of a bilateral nature, outside and within the Hemisphere, would be strengthened and facilitated by OAS decisions and recommendations emerging from the' Venezuelan case. Wherever possible, the GAS reso- lutions would request the cooperation of other countries. {on . mama"; . GAY - .2 NH 54214 Page . The basic limiting factor in the intensification a! _of our pelitical and economic pressure on other countries bilaterally is, of course, the balance that must be struck_between our interests with respectr to Cuba and other broad interests at play in our bilateral relations. For example, Spain's in- creasing commercial and transportation relations with Cuba are a matter of concern in terms of our Cuban policy, yet the political and economic . pressure we can exert on spain is circumscribed by the need to safeguard our other political and military interests in Spain.- B. Economic Denial This program involves overt and covert; legal -.. a and extra-legal, diplomatic and private, efforts to. deny Cuba access to free-world markets and sources a . ofsupply for commodities critical or important to the Cuban economy. A major inhibiting element in this effort is the short world supply of sugar which increases Cuban leverage on free-world sugar con- sumers. In addition, there is a general (but varying) reluctance on the part of free-world countries to 1' I En In interfere with? trade in items which are not strategic . .L, . I ii: a: . x_-in- tat NH 54214 Page 3 - 3 - in the internationally accepted sense (0030M, Battle Act).- This fact puts a premiun on direct overt and . _covert pressures on the companies involved, as distinguished from governments. AProgress has been made in our economic denial 'progran, and effective operations have been carried I out cooperatively by State, Treasury, Commerce and CIA. There is, however, considerable additional effort reduired, especially because Castro is now engaged inia major'attempt to broaden trade with the free-world. No new authority is required at this time, but rather an intensification of efforts through the inter-Departmental Coordinating Com- 'nittee on Cuba. . =Angie restrictive'legal interpretation by the Executive Branch of the various legislative pro- visions on trade with Cuba could have considerable impact, if we were prepared to accept-the costs to hour other interests in the offending countries and if we were prepared tacitly to indicate that existing legal interpretations had been in error. C. RIF-54214 Page 9 - 9 - Um?? An additional immediately available step would be C. Free-World ShippinP in Cuban Trade I the conclusion of an agreement involving the amend-[7L ment of NSAM 220 with the British shipowner Mavroleonw to guarantee the withdrawal by early 1965 of all his ships in return for the progressive removal from i the blacklist of his vessels as they get out of the trade. This agreement should have beneficial effects on other important ship owners. selective refusal to exercise the Presidential waiver of the Cuban shipping provisions of the new Foreign Aid Authorization act could increase our diplomatic pressures on the maritime nations, if we?were ready to incur the costs to our broad interests in the offending countries. . D. Air Service to and from Cuba Our efiorts to reduce, restrict and harass air services (free-world and Communist) to and from?l Cuba shoulh be strengthened by the provisions of the new Foreign Aid Authorization act, if, again, we are prepared to accept the costs to other interests countries. 0n the other hand, a .QBY 7' - - us-ussn U1 - alwx?

Anti-Subversive Program_ Essentially, the problem here is to strengthen both the will and the capability in Latin America to take the'politically and technically difficult' meaSUres which have been recommended. The basic lines of the anti-subversive program have been laid -. out, and they are_being followed with varying degrees of soccess in the different countries. Constant follow-up, technical advice and assistance, and- training are essential to improvement in the execution of the program.

SUBJECT: TEE: Meeting on Cuba December 19, 1963 At 11:00 A.M. on Thursday, you will be meeting primarily with State, DefenseiZCIA, to discuss further possible measures we can take against Castro, which stop short of? invasion and blockade. The following . is an attempt ?to describe-Elie Cuban problem as a whole -- where we have i. been since January, 1:963; where we are now; and where we seem to be headed. The paper ends with a brief description of a number of further possible _o measures we can take against Cuba. State, Defense, and CIA. which, by . and large-shave reserved their-positions on these measures, will be prepared to discuss them with you in detail at the meeting. - I. Current U.S. Policy The bare minimum objective of our policy is a Cuba which poses no threat to its neighbors and which is not a Soviet satellite. In moving towards this objective we have rejected the options of unprovoked U. 5. .military inter- vention in Cuba and of arkffective, total blockade around Cuba -- primarily because they would rislt another confrontation. Instead, we are enga; in a variety of unilateral, bilateral, and multilateral measures, both defensive and offensive, which stop short of these drastic measures. Review of U.S. .Measures Against Cuba Since January, ?l963 On January 8, 1963, the White House set up an interdepartmental task headed by State, to coordinate all matters pertaining to Cuba. i - r?U, NH 54214 Page 2 'i'v'i . -2- With the establishment of the Cuban Coordinating Committee, our post- missile crisis measures against Cuba began. These measures have been I I I . essentially either defenswe or offenswe in nature. A. Defensive Measures Our defensive measures have primarily aimed at three targets: (1) Cuba, the Military Threat -- We have been intent on ensuring that Cuba does not become again an "offensive weapons" g. missiles) threat to the 0.5. or Latin America. To this end we have conducted intensive air and Sea . surveillance around and over Cuba and have collected intelligence from within Cuba. So far as we know. we have been entirely successful in this effort and Cuba is not now an "offensive weapons." threat to either the U. S. or to Latin America. But even without "offensive weapons" Cuba remains a powerful military establishment in Latin America. To disCourage possible Cuban military attacks against its neighbors, we have put ourselves clearly on record that any such Cuban moves nus-d will have bet?ream dire consequences br Cuba. (2) Soviet Troops? We have been intent, for domestic political, as weil as national security reasons on effecting the removal of all Soviet military parse-:- nel from Cuba. To this end we have made it eminently clear to the Soviets on ?We in; - numerous occasions that we We the permanent assignment of Soviet military personnel to Cuba. As a reSult of Soviet self-into rest and our pressure. there are now 4. 000 to 7. 000 Soviet military personnel (mostly advisers and technicians) remaining in Cuba. representing a drop of about 65% to 75% from th-- NH 54214 pear: TcaLthi in awturr'?x?ofil962; a net outflow appears to be continuing. How- (33 ?t ?V?3?Ugi?tlt remains a delicate one. At any moment the Russians could nunId:329?1035 Page 3 . - . pmJA arbitrarily decide to send more troops into Cuba. Also. the {act that volatilc' 7 . - . at Cubans will probably control the surface-to-air missile sites by mid-U964 is disturbing. NH 54214 Page 4 NH 54214 -3- Subversion -- We have been intent on impeding and if possible stopping Cuban based and supported subversion in the Hemisphere. ?To a . . -this end we have made a special effort, bilaterally and in multilateral forums, to direct Latin American attention to, and to assist (materially where appropriate) Latin American efforts in the problem of controlling internal insurgency and in controlling the subversive movement of people, funds, arms, and propaganda between Latin Arre rica and Cuba. On the one . hand we have had some success -- there is now an increased awareness in- I Latin America of the extent and nature of the threat along with an increased capability and will in Latin America to do something about the problem. One measure of our success is Venezuelan readiness, in contrast? to previous reluctance. to make an international issue out of the awe-ea discoveryA Another small measure of this success is. that primarily through the use of travel control' by Latin American governments, there has been a 50% drop over the past year in the number of Latin Americans traveling to Guba. On the othenhand, with Castro still exceedingly intent on producing "another Cuba." in the Hemisphere, and with many Latin American govern- ments still unwilling or unable to cope'effectively with subversive efforts, much remains to be done. In this regard proper exploitation of the recent discovery of the Cuban arms cache in Venezuela might take us a long way towards getting wholehearted Latin American cooperation in the fight against subversion. Such cooperation is a vital key to success in this field. -i Page 5 NH 54214 a. B. Offensive Measures Offensivcly. our ultimate minimum target is to remove the Soviet satellite from the Hemisphere. We hope to achieve this by Concentrating mainly on three intermediate targets -- intensifying Cuba's already-serious economic difficulties; increasing the cost and unpleasantness to the Soviets of maintaining Cuba; and stimulating direct and indirect internal resistance to the regime. Our chief weapons for achieving these offensive targets are 'two -- isolation measures and covert measures (which also have an impact on our defensive targets, particularly Cuban subversion). (1) Isolation Measures -- The most outstanding characteristic of our isolation-ineasures is that they have been exceedingly difficult toimplement -- primarily be cause implementation depends on the cooperation-of others and not mac-sly on U.S. will alone. Nevertheless, while one could have reasonably expected our isolation policy to break up as the world moved away from the heat of October. 1962, in fact, this has not happened. Instead, while far from performing over the past year, our isolation policy generally has held the ground already made in some fields, while making further progress in others.' About a year ago. only 5 OAS countries maintained diplomatic relations with Cuba; the number?not only remains the same now, but anticipated OAS reaction to the discovery . of the Cuban arms cache in Venezuela gives some reason to hope for further ruptures. The low level of Free World trade with Cuba reached in 1962 has generally been maintained in 1963. Air isolation of Cuba has been fairly I 51432.3(} ngdramatic demonstration of this is the fact that many Latin Page 6 . . - -5- - I Ti: n?J-?s Americans have had to travel to and from Cuba. via Prague. A Free World 354..- to Cuba in 1963 is running at roughly 40% of 1962 levels. Prospects for further reduction are good since we now seem to be making good progress with the three principal shipping countries -- Greece. Lebanon, and the UK. 'In this regard, the Greeks have recently issued stiffer laws to prevent their ships from going to or from Cuba, while the Lebanese have drafted (but have not yet enacted) legislation to the same end; and some Ob impertant British shipping companies Mavroljj have finally decided Qt; that they should play ball with us. But there is-plenty of room for improvement. There-are still roughly 30 Free l:Vorld ships per month in the Cuban trade. Free Werld countries od? 72"- dun. still send many commoditiesj?to Cuba which Cuba needs desperately. And there are still. air routes between Cuba and Spain and Mexico. The effectiveness of our isolation policy in hitting the target is. impossible to gauge accurately. While H'urricane Flora, in aJ'ew days. probably hit the target more squarely than our isolation measures did in a year, it is generally agreed that the economic chaos which now in fact exists in? Cuba and the encrmity of the Soviet aid bill is, in part at least, due to our efforts. Castro's repeated and loud public protestations about our isolation policy and his serious and energetic efforts to break cut of Free World isolation substantiate the view that the isolation measures probably hurt him, economically and politically. NH 54214 f??V I Page NH 54214 -6- . (Z) Covert Measures -- Our covert program over the past year has covered essentially six areas. First, through a variety of techniques, we have collected intelligence for both U.S. strategic requirements and for operational requirements; the quantity and quality is good but there is always room for improvement. Second, CIA-controlled radio programs and other I propaganda media. directed at Cuba, have been used to encourage low risk. 0 simple sabotage and other forms of active and passive resistance. and to stimulate tension within the regime and between Cuba and the Soviet Bloc. Third, CIA has -worked with State and other agencies to deny to Cuba com- modities which it urgently needs. Fourth, we have been trying to identify, '0 seek outl' and establish cantact with potentially dissident non-Communist elements in the power centers of the regime, with a view to stimulating an internal coup which would dislodge Castro; we currently are in direct contact with several people in Cuba who may be of significance. we have directed four small?scale externally- -mounted sabotage operations for the 6.46: ?her-- small. purp05e of stimulating resistance and Warm. w, in order tolexpand sabotage and resistance activities we have been involved in aiding autonomous Cuban exile groups and individuals; who will probably be ready to begin infiltration and sabotage in mid-January, and who will not necessarily be responsive to our guidance. (A financial breakdown of CIA's covert Cuban operations since 1960 is attached at Tab l3.) The most outstanding characteristic of our covert action program so ?nk? i?ft nu =2 far ?bringing about a basic change in Cuba is still i Page 3 largely unknown. The programl which makes use of Cuban exiles and which i?S'not yet fully underway has already achieved a degree of success -I- e.g. in demonstrating to Cubans that Castro is not inv'ulnerable,? in forcing Castro to divert valuable resources {or defense against covert activities, in inflicting small, but cumulatively significant economic damage, and perhaps in stimulating to some degree the insurgency which is?evident in Cuba. As yet our covert program has not been directed in such a way as to inflict serious economic damage on Cuba. There are those Who believe that much can be done in this regard, as well as in stimulating further resistance. aj??a?flr But our covert program presently operates under Wag-ib- on] present policy prevents.air attacks on Cuban targets and prevents free-lance A exile raids on Cuba from 11.5. territory. 111. Where are we Going? - In theory, at least, our present offensive measures, vigorously pursued and, to a degree, complemented by our defensive measures. could lead finally to one of the following three eventualities. each of which con- stitutes a removal of the Soviet satellite from the Hemisphere. A. Overthrow of the Castro Regime Most Cuban experts in the U.S. Government the most likely of the three eventualities. Hopefully. by exerting maximum pressure by all the means available to the U. Government;- short of military force, we will be able to bring about a degree of disorganization, uncertainty. and NH 54214 t. ?a .4 {Jeers ?blah-will predispose elements in the power centers of the me i Ld Page 9 NH 54214 -3- regime to bring about the overthrow of the Castro/Communist group and .- the elimination of the Soviet presence in Cuba; at some stage of the revolt, it is likely that direct, or indirect U.S. support will be needed to ensure its success. Theoretically,? the Cuban people.? tired of economic hardship. lack of freedom, and isolation from their Latin American brethern, will embrace the revolt. B. Accommodation with Castro on U.S. Terms Under this eventuality. Castro would agree to break his tie-line with the USSR, stop his subversion efforts. and perhaps renounce the Com- munist ideology. While highly unlikely, it is not? inconceivable that such factors as U. S. isolation andcovert measu res. further Cuban economic deterioration, in spite of Soviet aid. and (3). distrust of the Soviet intentions will?lead Castro to believe he has no choice but accommodation. Indeed, there is evidence that Castro may already be thinking along these lines. In the past few months he has made a number of accommodation noises and since he undoubtedly has?a pretty good reading of our minimum terms, these noises could conceivably indicate that he is willing to go a long way towards meeting them. Che Guevera's reported nervousness at Castro's that accommodation tendencies substantiates the view I Castro's desire to negotiate is genuine and not a ploy to reduce U. 8. heat on Cuba. But there are obvious major problems with this alternative. Not the least of these is whether the American people would tolerate accommodation . l' Page ID NH 54214 -9- with even a reformed Castro and whether or not we could prove to the - a American people that'we've gotten from Castro what we say w'?'ve gotten. Nevertheless, there is rebuttal for such arguments and accommodation remains a distinct possibility, if not for now then for later. C. A Soviet Decision to Quit Cuba This may be the most unlikely of the three eventualities, yet such a Soviet decision cannot be dismissed categOrically in view of such factors as (-1) the lac?Kof real Soviet progress in making Cuba a ?showpiece". (Z) the obvious U.S. determination to make Cuba a Soviet "dead end" in the Hemisphere (no more Cuba's will be permitted), (3) the magnitude of . Soviet aid to Cuba. and (4) the extent of the USSR's own present economic problems. At the least, these factors would appear to have a bearing on how r/u't the Russians would view the eviction from Cuba, either by the overthrow .of Castro's regime or by a. Castro decision to accommodate with the U.S. on U. 5. terms. Relief would conceivably mix generously with 'Rizssian grief. especially if the Russians could find a vaguely credible fig-leaf. 1V Current Estimate of Possible Success The $64 question -- Will our present offensive measures, even if implemented vigorously and flawlessly, ever lead, by one way or another, to the removal of the Soviet satellite from the HemisPhere? is impossible to answer. Castro's position within Cuba appears to be erroding gradua lly, while the situation in Cuba is characterized by economic stagnation, living conditions:J the loss of revolutionary impetus. and the disillusionment 'i Page 11 NH 54214 .. .. -10- of an increasing large majority of the population; moreover. Castro's stature in Latin America is generally very. low?. Nevertheless: the general consensus seems to be that Castro still retains control; without stepping up our pressures ?considerably, the chances are practically nil that we will get to Castro in the near future and only fairly good that we will get to him eventually. Probably the most we can say for certain is that we appear to be moving in the right general direction; and this, of course,? is important. A vigorous, tough. and nasty policy probably lays the best groundwork for bringing about any of the three eventualities which are noted above and which constitute the removal of the Soviet satellite from the Hemisphere. From a domestic political Viewpoint, this is probably fortuitous; a tough but no invasion policy is one policy which the American peOple appear prepared to support at this time. V. Further Possible. Measures Against Ctiba . i The general consensus in the Government is that we should try to find waysof stepping up our pressures against the Castro regime. One of the most important reasons for this is that the Castro regime continues to constitute a threat to Latin America. While Castro's efforts?in Latin America may not be substantial in absolute terms, he is operating in an area which is politically especially fragile. It is also generally agreed that we are now in a good time-frame to ?quip the recent discovery of the Cuban arms cache in anxsaar Page 12 -11- Venezuela should permit us to raise the general noise level in and around Cuba. Actions which we may have been reluctant to take sevc?ral months ago. may now be feasible. 'The following is a list of further actions, short of invasion and blockade, which we may want to take in the near future. They can, con- veniently be divided_into unilateral, bilateral. and multilateral measures, . The brief description following each measure is meant to give you a flavor for some of the more important implications. At the mimeeting, State. Defense. and CIA will be prepared to discuss each of the measures with you? in depth and in detail. . - A. Unilateral Measures (1) Air Attack-s We can authorize CIA to conduct or to equip autonomous exile groups to conduct air attacks against selected major economic targets such as power plants and oil refineries. As a starter, we have ftargets in mind. These considerably more difficult to attack from the ground but planning for a ground attack on one of these targets is already underway. Planning for an attack on the Santiago oil refinery will . 941%, be coznpleted ugh-(m, 1964. . While the concrete and advantages of selected air stril-x have always been recognized. and while unauthorized air strikes have in fact already taken place over Cuba. up to now it has been our policy to steer clear of U.S. involvement in this sort of activity. Primarily it has been consider-ca J?mzv 3 NH 54214 Page 13 -12- a relatively high risk, high noise-level type of operation which would not have a major impact on Castro, which would be hard to control (e.lg. innocents might be killed), and which could conceivably lead to a sharp Soviet reaction in Cuba g. shoot down a U-Z) 0r elsewhere. (Z) Unleashing of Exiles We can relax our present policy of not - 3K- permitting independent Cuban eatile groups to base sea and air attacks on Cuba from U.S. territorygcan urge the British to do the same {Or Bahamian territory. While such attacks might'inflict only small concrete damage on Cuban targets, they have some distinct advantages. For . . example? they would tend to high-light the regime's weakness, cause Castro to divert more resources to'defense, lift the morale of the exiles and of the anti-Castro elements within Cuba, and provide cover for CIA- cont rolle raids . This also is not a new subject, and, in the past, the disadvantages were believed to be over-riding. Such autonomous raids, whibh would in- volve the U. S. directly and which would raise the noise-level in the Caribbean, would be hard to control; it is possible that raiders'would attack Soviet vessels and installations and precipitate strong Russian reaction, including, possibly the transfer of more Soviet troops to Cuba. Moreover, encourage- ment of autonomous raids on Cuba from U. S. territory would be in sharp variance with our publicly and privately stated position. Since March 30, 1963 we have taken?the public position that we will not tOlerate the violation . o; lira {i?yality laws, by anti-Castro raiders. Privately, we have . .. h? NH 54214 Page 14 NH 54214 - 13 - . . I said the same thingto-the Soviets while maintaining the position that we have no control over raiding activities which originate outside of U. S. territory. . 9. It. 44/ ??41 ?~44 Wigs. we would prefer that these completely autonomous, amateur exile raiders operate from non-U.S. territory. However. we may not have ;this option. Generally speaking. such amateurs have their homes in Florida and don?t want to move. Moreover, the fact that U. S. territory is physically very close to Cuba makes a difference to the rela- tivelypoorly-equipped amateurs who would be involved in this sort of raid. I . (3) Military Feints -- We can move U. 5. air and surface units over I . and in international waters near Cuba in a manner designed to keep Cuban military forces in a state of alert and uncertainty. This is a measure which has not been explored to the extent of the first two. On the positive side. it would harass'Castro, cost' him re sources, and. if desired. offer opportunities for escalation. 0n the negative side, there is'the ever-present problem of possible escalation which we may not want as well as the investment of U. S. forces. over time. in an essentially exercise. Implicit in this measure is the assumption that we would be able to conduct military feints on a level at which the Cubans get jumpy but the Russians would not. (4) Low-Level Flights -- We can reintroduce low-level reconnaissanr' flights over Cuba in such a way as to minimize the chance of Cuban counter.Lfi?srA?f') oflicly. we can rationalize the resumption of thefl1ghts on the Page 15 NH 54214 -14- grounds that they will-give us more intelligence on Castro's capabilities to ship arms to Latin America. In fact, the primary advantages to low- level flights are they would indicate a tougher U. 5. line and would be extremely irritating to Castro - a-blatant disregard for Cuban sovereignty.- Much discussed, the reintroduction of low-level flights has been turned down in. the past primarily because of the-noise-level problem, and because it might lead to Soviet reaction against our U-Z flights and in other areas. Also there is a real possibility that low-level flights might lead to escalation we would not want; the Cubans are on, record that they might try to shoot'one down. (5) Free World Shipping to Cuba -- We can take further unilateral measures to reduce Free World shipping to Cuba. For example, we can close U. 8. ports and deny U. 5. Government sponsored shipments to lines .of some or all countries which have ships in the Cuban trade. This is a subject which has probably received as much attention as any in the whole-realm of Cuban affairs. Briefly put, we have-thus far re- jected further unilateral measures mainly because the nature of the Cuban trade is such (small shipping lines with a greater involvement in Cuban trade than in U. S. trade) that our unilateral measures would simply not provide the leverage needed to produce a substantial reduction in Free World shipping to Cuba; the slight reduction we would get would not be enough to . 8 PREV i Page 16 NH 54214 compensate for a number of foreign policy losses we would suffer. Gene rally speaking, we have instead concentrated on applying in- tense bilateral pressures on the governments of Free World countries to control their shipping to Cuba; and have had considerable, but not total, success (see also Section (2) below). At the same time, we have not entirely ruled out further unilateral sanctions. Some shipping experts seem to feel that if we apply certain unilateral sanctions in March, 1964, the Soviets and Cubans will have to scramble seriously in order to adjust charters and shipping schedules in time to be prepared for the heavy Cuban shipping season which begins in May. I (6) Public Presidential Statement -- You?can issue an early policy declaration on Cuba, making clear that the regards the current ?situa- tion in Cuba as intolerable. such a Statement would be designed to stimulate anti-Castro/Communist dissident elements Med?hm to carry out a coup. It would also have a salutory effect on those Latin American leaders who have indicated a willingness to follow a positive U. 5. lead in taking more forceful action against Cuba. Your-Statement might also include the point that the U. S. is not gang-to permit the establishment of ?another Cuba" in the llemisphe re. - This point would be designed to make it clear to the Soviets and Castro that they have reached a "dead end" in the Hemisphere. I p.3EBE?vember 18 in Miami, President Kennedy included both of the Page 1? - t6 - a above points in his speech to the Inter-American Press Association (excerpts?are attached at Tab 2). Whether or not you would want to take a more vigorous line in your own statement would have to depend on many A factors - e. 3. upon U. S. willingness to pursue a more active anti-Cuba - policy over the next months. upon possible adverse Latin American re- action to a statement which hints of U. S. interventionism' and upon domestic political considerationi. I (7) Talks with the Soviets and Cubans -- We can, through nOrmal diplomatic and private channels attempt to drive a wedge between the Soviets and the Cubans and possibly, to en'courage some Russian thinking in favor of withdrawal and some Castro thinking in favor of accommodation with the U. S..terms. To the Soviets, we can emphasize that we are never going to let things stand as they are in Cuba, that the Soviets, despite con- siderable expense, aremaking and can expect to make, no further real progress in Cuba sr elsewhere in the Hemisphere, that the existence of the Soviet tie-line in Cuba is a serious impediment to a U. S. detente, and that the U. S. is prepared to assist the USSR in finding a-fig-leaf to cover Soviet withdrawal from Ctiba. To Castro. very well aware that the Russians pulled the rug out from him in October. 1962 and aware that he is making no progress despite massive Soviet aid, the following type of message might have some appeal. It could be confidentiin tone-to mitigate the possibility of relieving Castro I NH 54214 Page 13 .. . NH 54214 - 17 .. of any anxieties he may have which wOrk in our favor. f, "Fidel, we are content to let events continue on their present course. We intend to maintain, and whenever possible, to increase our pressures against you until you fall; we are aretty certain that we will be successful.- Moreover. you can forget about getting ?another Cuba' in the Hemisphere. We have learned our lesson and 'another Cuba' is simply not going to happen. However, we are reasonablegmen. We are not intent on having your head per se; neither do we relish the suffering of the Cuban people. You know our central concerns -- the Soviet connection and the subversion. if you fe?el you are in a. position to? allay these concerns, we'can probably work out a way to live amicable together and to build a prosperous Cuba. If you don't feel you can meet our conce rns. then just forget the whole thing; we are quite content to continue on our present basis." B. Bilateral Measure 5 Hrther efforts in this field essentially would represent a continuation, sharpening. and intensification of programs already in effect. A basic limiting factor is the degree to which we are willing to Hui. expend credit with our allies to obtain this cooperation in making life diffi- cult for Cuba. (1) Free World 'Trade with Cuba -- We can, through overt and cove rt, legal and extra-legal, diplomatic and private .means'. make a greater effert to deny Cuba access to Free World. 'markets and sources of supply; extra- can be directed to those Free World commodities which Page 19 NH 54214 .. - IVE - 18 - are critical or important to the Cuban economy. There are some real obstacles to further progress in this field -- a world?wide shortage of sugar which increases Cuba's leverage over Free World sugar consumers, and a reluctance among many Free World countries to interfere in now-strategic trade. Nevertheless, there appears to be general agreement that more can be done in this area. Among other things, we can interpret more restrictively various legislative provisions which bear on. Free World trade with Cuba; we would have to be prepared, however, to accept political losses in the offending countries as well as. the domestic political losses inherent in tacitly admitting that our former interpretations were wrong. (2) Free World Shipping to Cuba -- We can increase our bilateral pressures to eliminate the slowly dwindling number of Free World ships which remain in the Cuba trade. We can try to ensure that the Greeks en- force their new shipping legislation against ships in the Cuba .trade?. We can press the Lebanese to enact the necessary shipping legislation which has already passed through a number of constitutional processes; a letter from you to the Lebanese Prime Minister might help. Although we appear to have recently found a way to reduce British shipping to Cuba without HMG help (through direct dealings with the shippers), we can continue to press for cooperation. which. if obtained, would be most helpful. Since our prospects seem to be good with respect to the three major it is axiomatic that we should keep pressure on other Page ED NH 54214 .. 19 - Free \VOrld countriesto ensure that they don't pick up the slack which the Greeks. Lebanese. and selective British shippers will soon be leaving. In this regard; the selective refusal to exercise the Presidential waiver of the Cuban transportation provisiOns of the new E?Oreign Aid Authorization Act (cessation of aid to any country which has not taken steps to prevent the transport of commodities. by plane or ship. to or from Cuba), could increase our diplomatic pressures on the maritime nations, assuming of course. we are ready to incur the foreign policy costs involved in this step. (3) Air Service to and from Cuba -- We can increase pressure to I 0 I I reduce, Irestrict and harass Free World and Communist air serv1ces to and from Cuba; Strict application of the new FOreign Aid Authorization Act could help in this regard if we are prepared to accept the costs involved in offending certain countries g. Spain). On the other hand, the con- clusion of a U. S. civil air agreement could erode our strong position against Free World air service to Cuba. (4) Anti-subversion Program -- We can continue?to press in the direction of strengthening both the will and the capability in Latin America to take the political and technical measures which have been recommended both bilaterally and multilaterally. The basic lines of the 'anti- subversion program have been laid out and they are being followed, with varying degrees of success. in the different countries. Constant follow-up, technical advice and assistance. and training are essential to the improvement and v- 60 3% r] the procramJ Page 21 NH 54214 "Vl-3 .20. We can also malte a tough approach to the Russians with evidence of the Venezuelan arm's cache. Gromyko in the past, has expressed doubt that we could show evidence of Cuban subversion. We can show it to him now. C. Multilateral Measures (1) Rio Treaty Action Against Cuba 7- At present. we are in the process of deciding what Rio Treaty action we can get the OAS to taleagainst Cuba as a result of the discovery of the Cuban arms cache in Venezuela. What we push {or will depend, in large part on the hardness of the evidence presented in an OAS investigating team's reporLand on the attitude of other OAS countries towards energetic anti-Cuban action. 7 Best estimates are that we will push forthe following 7 measures: and Stop and search, on the high seas, of selected Cubanae: OAS- registery vessels. This measure implies a willingness to use force and involves the concommitant risk of unwanted escalation. The ostensible purpose of this measure is to Stop arms shipments,but because the quarantine could be easily by-passed and because the chances are good that arms shipments to Latin America from Cuba are minimal, no arms are likely to be found. The real purpose of this measure is to infuriate. humiliate, and provoke Castro. Stop and search. in territorial waters. of all suspect vessels. is a variation of the above, which is probably almost as effective in controllin arms shipments and which does not involve the possible use of force. At the '?nvmr 5 Page 22 however. such action Will be fairly meaningless. I .- (Z) Other Surveillance Measures -- Outside the context of Rio Treaty Action we can try to conclude OAS-wide or bilateral agreements with Latin American governments to take joint measures to detect and prevent arms smuggling by land. sea, or air into Latin America. Because of the . . urgency of the threat. Venezuela and Colombia be given first priority. .

I ma - November 3, 1967 i TRAINING OF NEGROES IN CUBA This Bureau is in receipt of a copy of a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) communication dated October 31, 1967, regarding the training of Negroes in Cuba. The original of the communication was addressed to the Honorable Walt W. Rostow, Special Assistant to the President. Information is contained therein to the effect that three Cuban sources during the past four months.have reported the existence of a training school near Santiago de Cuba where from 100 to 150 young men are being groomed fer subversive Operations against the United States to include sabotage in connection with race riots directed at bringing about a Negro revolution in this country. One source reported that the training includes courses in English, taught by Soviet instructors. While two of the CIA sources described the students as Negroes, there was no indication that any of the - Negro students were from the United States. The third CIA source described them as young men from North Vietnam, North Korea, Africa, and Latin-American countries. v-4? Information in the possession of this Bureau indicates . that the above-described training school may well be an outgrowth of the-Tri-Continental Conference, held in Havana, Cuba, in January, 1966, the declared purpose of whibh was organizing guerrilla warfare in Asia, Africa and Latin America. During the? year following the conference this Bureau received continuing i reports that the Cubans were endeavoring to implement the aims .g of the conference. Since Castro first came to power in Cuba in 1959, we have been alert to his possible use of refugee -- .1 channels to infiltrate agents and saboteurs and have initiated apprOpriate investigative steps to detect this. In January, 1967, an additional program was instituted aimed at detecting Cuban- trained agents and saboteurs entering the United States through legitimate Cuban refugee channels. Such refugees have been arriving in Miami since Dece ber, 1965, at the rate of approximately 4,000 each month. gin the ten months since our Cuban refugee program was first -nstituted, over 1,700 cases have been Opened based upon information in the backgrounds of various refugeeS' pointing toward a potential or prepensity on their parts to IQ) Undertake intelligence, sabotage, or other subversive missions on behalf of the Cuban Government.

NH 54214 Page 2 NH 54214 I primal TRAINING OF NEGROES IN CUBA During late July and early August, 1967, a Latin- American Solidarity Organization (LASO) conference was held in Havana, at which the Cubans indicated that they were continuing their efforts to implement the declared aims of the Tri- Continental Conference. Numerous resolutions were promulgated at the conclusion of the LASO conference, one of which exhorted North American Negroes'to respond to the racist violence of the imperialist United States Government with an increase in American press and other news media extensively-reported on the presence of Stokely Carmichael foremost ?black power" advocate of violence, in Cuba at the time of the LASO conference, which began on July 31, 1967. Since that date all field offices of the FBI have been alerted to Castro's obvious intention of infiltrating agents into this country for the purposes of sabotage and influencing the black' nationalists and other subversive movements throughout the . United States. - Our Agents on a selective basis have briefed officials of various local, county and state police agencies of the problem posed by the possible use of minority groups in carrying out sabotage on behalf of Cuba. These officials have been requested to alert their racial and security informants to provide any clues which would aid the ferreting out of potential saboteurs. In daily contacts with c00perative security officials of plants handling key Government contracts, department stores, supermarkets, and similar establishments employing_ sizeable labor forces, our Agents have alerted such officials to our interest in being expeditiously advised of data indicating groups or individuals within their organizations are potential tools for use by Castro in subverting the United States. To date, no concrete evidence has been developed to ?1ndicate that any Cuban-trained saboteur has entered this country since the widely publicized Cuban sabotage ring in New York City was discovered and immobilized in 1962. Neither has any evidence been developed of clandestine entry of Cuban- trained Negroes for any other purposes, including infiltration of the blac nationalist movement.

Date: AND THE SPECIAL GROUP MONGOOSE AND PROGRAM AGAINST VIETNAM NH 54214 MW THE wmre HOUSE WM _2 WASHINGTON 27 September 1962 MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT The Special Group (Augmented) and the Special Group (5412) took . the following actions at their meetings today: Lagm In accordance an earlier request by the Group, a preposal for the use of balloons to drop propaganda leaflets, and possibly other small objects of prepaganda value, over Cuba was discussed. The Group approved the concept, subject to presentation of a more detailed operational plan. In brief this operation would involve the release from a small boat, on a periodic basis, of small balloons which would overfly Cuba at night and would drop propaganda materials through the means of a timing device. The Group felt that such an operation should be con- ducted ostensibly by Cuban exiles, with close policy control behind the scenes. The latter would include_approval of the content of the propaganda through secure?contact with?thi Cubans involved. Reliable weather and other technical information would be provided. CIA has built up a considerable body of technical know-how on operations of the type, from previous activities of a similar nature in EuroPe. 2. Program Against Vietnam The Group considered a proposal by CIA for covert activities designed to harass the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. This had been prepared in response to a request by the Secretaries of State and Defense. The Special Group asked that a more detailed operational plan be prepared. In the meantime it was agreed that Defense will make certain equipment and personnel available to CIA in support of this program. An Elint flight designed to identify the North Vietnamese radar order of battle, so as to permit planning of overflight routes, was authorized. This will be flown out of Saigon, using the speciallyvequipped aircraft available on Taiwan, but with the Chinese Air Force markings removed, and employing Chinese Nationalist pilots documented as South Vietnamese citizens. Page 2 3. Stay-Behind Planningi_Laos The Group approved a CIA pr0posa1 for stay?behind activities in Laos, involving Meo and Kha tribesmen. The mission of these individuals, who have already been trained and equipped, will he basically restricted to the collection of intelligence and the seturing of safe areas. (I The plan is tola considerable extent contingent ozithe Thais agreeing to allo mall numbers of their "special force? person 0 remain in the area.a It is proposed to leave two Americans in the north with the Bees, one in the south with the Khas.

Murrow, Mr. Bundy, General Lansdale l. The outline plan now known as Alternate Course B, submitted with General LanQdale's-memorandum of 14 August, was accepted by the Group as a basis for sub detailed planning, except for the fact that paragraph IV.E., ref rring to the use of Guantanamo for covert Operations, was del Bund (1 some question about paragraph IV.B., with (JOYC lb respect submarine ctivity, and there was considerable discussion as to the icat' of paragraph IV.D., on sabotage. The Group agreed, however, that paragraphs A., B., C., and D. under IV were accepted in principle, with the understanding that major actions under these general concepts would be approved by the Special Group (Augmented). In connection with the latter point, it was emphasized that such approval should be obtained from the Group far enough in advance so as to obviate extensive preparations and planning for operations which might.not actually receive policy approval. 2. General Taylor then distributed a draft of new guidelines for Operation MDNGOOSE, Phase II, and a draft of a covering memo- randum for the President. The latter was approved by the Group as presented. With respect to the guidelines, paragraph 4 was amended to read "Efforts will be increased to inspire frictions and schisms . . In addition, it was agreed that a new paragraph_ would be added to cover the possibility of assisting Cuban exile groups and other Latin American governments in undertaking actions and operations in support of this program. 3. It was agreed that after the new guidelines and covering memorandum are approved by higher authority, General Lansdale will prepare detailed schedules of proposed operations for presentation to the Special Group (Augmented). )Mk?r Thomas A.

Mr. Johnson reported that the Italian representative at the UN has now been briefed on the proposal to approach the Cubans with an offem of food or medicine in exchange for the Plays Giron prisoners. He noted that no specifics had been agreed on, and the first contact would be for the purpose of establishing in principal the possibility of such an exchange. 2. Mr. McCone reiterated that all reports of Cuban inter- vention in the Hemisphere are proving to have no substance when they are actually run down. In answer to General Taylor's question as to what the U.S. might do if hard evidence of'this kind is obtained, Mr. Johnson pointed out that a subcommittee of the OAS, on security, had been authorized at Punta del Este. This committee was given the authority to mobilize multi-national action against the Castro regime in the event that such hard information is obtained. It was agreed that whatever information becomes available should be given to General White, who is the U.S. representative on this subcommittee. 3. Mr. McCone said that after studying the possibility of using Cuban air crews, CIA had concluded that they would not be suitable for supply drops at night. On the other hand, trained U.S. civilian crews could be provided by Civil Air Transport (CAT) in 30 days. Arrangements could be made to have these pilots ostensibly employed by Cuban exile groups in the U.S. and, therefore, they would be non-attributable to the U.S. Government. He said that available Cubans could then be used for less demanding missions such as leaflet drops. There appeared to be a general feeling on the part of the Group me that U.S. civilians of this type would not be essentially different than "sheep dipped" personn in the event that any were shot ver Cuba. 4. Mr. McCone referred tithe Weekly Progress Reports which are now being produced by CIA. He said these are required internally within the Agency, and that to consolidate them with reporting from other responsible departments and agencies would slow things up and NH 54214 Page 2 and make the report less useable. It was, therefore, agreed that the CIA Progress Reports would continue to be produced eVery Tuesday, and that a highlighted summary would be prepared weekly by General. Lansdale and forwarded to General Taylor's office for information of the Group. It was also agreed that General Lansdale should normally brief the Group every other week. 5. Mr. McCone expressed some impatience with progress being made on the project, and speculated as to whether it might not be desirable to consider the possibility of a different approach. In this connection, he noted that reconnaissance has revealed con- siderably less Cuban military strength than had been expected. General Taylor hsked that Mr. McCone give the Group, next Wednesday, a summary of the intelligence received from reconnaissance and from the debriefing of,exfiltrated agents. 6. The Group discussed at length the question of whether the U.S. would actually welcome an excuse for overt intervention. One of the points raised in this connection was the possibility of massive death sentences for the PlayaGiron prisoners and whether this would serve as a casus belli. The possibility of a quick operation to liberate the prisoners was also mentioned. It was felt that the time has now come when the basic philosophy of the project should be examined once more, with particular reference to the possibility of finding a pretext for early overt intervention. A meeting was set up for next Wednesday at 2:00 to include the Secretaries of State and Defense. 1 EgomaSIA.

McNamara, Mr. Gilpatric and General Lemnitzer; Hr. HcCone. General Lansdale and Mr. Harvey were also present. The following decisions were reached: 1. The immediate tasks to be accomplished include: a. The drafting of a paper for higher authority which will include two assumptions. These are the United States will make maximum use of Cuban resources, but recognizes that final success will require decisive U.S. military intervention; and (2) the deveIOpment of Cuban resources will be for the purpose of facilitating and supporting this intervention and to provide a preparation and a justification for it. Higher authority will not be asked by this paper to make a policy decision at this time, but simply to note the assumptions. b. The plan presented by General Lansdale will be recast to put into one paper the short-range actions for the months of March, April and Hay, such as the acquisition of hard intelligence, and other actions drawn from the asnwers to his study of 20 February 1962, which would have a low visibility and little likelihood of giving away the basic plan. Another paper will include those actions which would have the effect of committing the U.S. to greater or lesser degree to intervention. To the extent possible, the actions contemplated in functional annexes to the plan will be assigned to specific time phases. These papers will be circulated before the coming weekend. The plan will contain more on intelligence, including a reference to the effort required in third countries. The reference to a Presidential memorandum, in the first two lines of the Lansdale paper of 20 February, will be deleted. The paper should.include reference to the develOpment of adequate Cuban leadership. c. The Special Group will cOnsider these papers, with the Attorney General present, before presentation to higher authority. Page 2 58 NH 54214 2. The cover plan for early actions will be that the U.S. in pursuing an anti-Castro policy is under the necessity of acquiring as much hard intelligence on Cuba as possible in a short time. 3. Each proposed sabotage Operation will be decided on the basis of its individual merits, at the time. 4. Mr. McNamara undertook to provide the boats needed by CIA on presentation of a list of requirements, if they are available within the Defense establishment. radio broadcast from a submarine but the decision as to the actual beginning of bro casting will eferred until a later date. An internal land-based radio facility will not be considered at this time. 5. Arts ts will be MQE to have available a facility for (Faye) 6. General Lansdale is to.prepare a list of the individuals who know about this plan, with an estimate of their degree of knowledgeability.

OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE WASHINGTON 25, o.c. 30 October 1962 E. i FOR THE RECORD .By Brig. Gen. Lansdaleg'L, Subject: Ope ration Mongoo John McCone asked me to call him on the gray telephone this morning. I did so. He stated that he didn't know exactly how I was supposed to get word on this, so he was informing me to help out: at the Executive Council meeting this morning, the President had decided to hold back Operation Mongoose for the time being. Also. during the negotiations re Soviet missile bases in Cuba, there were to be no Mongoose sabotage or similar militant operations. McCone said that he had informed General Carter of this, but was letting me know, as Chief of Operations, to let the operations team know; he mentioned that Alpha 66 and the approved sabotage of Cuban shipping were to be held, specifically. I commented that I had just received a copy of a memorandum from him to the Attorney General, the Sec/Def. etc. dated today, sayin that CIA was till awaiting word from me on sending in 20 ?a submarine or intelligence collection, after I?d determined JCS a fate requirements. I said that I had been told by McGeorge . Bundy on Sunday, 28 October, to hold up action on this for 24 hours and had notified CIA, and that yesterday, upon receipt of a memorandum from Bruce Cheever on this same subject, I had taken it up again with Bundy -- and Bundy had told me that he would tell McCone to have CIA hold everything. I presumed that Bundy had so informed McCone. Also, Havey had called me Sunday night, asking my permission to discuss CIA assets with CINCLANT and JUWTF for contingency planning; I had given Harvey permission to assist in this planning, if he felt that the U.S. military needed more planning help from CIA.

I gave similar orders to General Johnson for Defense/JCS. Lt ~Co1 Patchell concurrently informed State and USIA along the same lines.

June 4, 1965 . - PLASS TO ASSASSINATE CUBAN LEADERS, On June 2, 1965, Victor Domindador Espinosa Hernandez, a Cuban refugee, was interviewed at the_New York City Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Espinosa advised'as follows: on May.29, 1965, he returned to New York-City after Ispending twentyesix days in Paris, France, where he was in 'contact with individuals involved in a plot to assassinate. Fidel Castro and other Cuban Government leaders: The main figure in this plot is Rolando Cubela, a close friend of Espinosa and an intimate friend and current neighbor of Fidel Castro. Cubela is identical with former Major Rolando L. Cubela Secades, who has resigned from the armed forces of Cuba and is now practicing medicine ianavana. Alberto_ Blanco, an employee of the Cuban Foreign Ministry, and Major? Juan Almeida Bosque are the other leading figures in this plot. . He conferred in Paris for about ten days with 'Alberto Blanco who was then on an inSpection tour of Cuban Embassies and Consulates abroad. He learned that the plot is directed toward the assassination of Fidel Castro, his brother Raul Castro, Ernesto "Che" Guevara,a Cabinet -member in the present Cuban Government, and Ramiro Valdes,the Chief? of the Cuban Intelligence Service.? The assassination of these individuals is to take place in public, possibly.on July 26, 1965, when all.the cuban leaders would be together at the annual July 26th celebration-in Havana. After the assassination, .-those involved in the plot hepe to seize the radio station and call for American help. 'Cubela'and others_associated with him in this plot desire to know whether or not the' United States would help if the plot was succeSSful and if Group 1 Excluded from automatic downgrading and declassification NH 54214 Page 2_ [4,6 $3 NH 54214 runs TO assassmus cumN LEADERS the United States would be ready to give this assistance at a moment's notice as the plotters may be able to hold the COVOrnnont for only a day or two.

Page 1 NH 54214 NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL Log #7602957 May 24, 1976 MEMORANDUM FOR MRS. JEANNE W. DAVIS FROM: Steven L. Skancke I SUBJECT: SSC. Request for LBJ Material on Cuba and JFK Assassination As you know, research staff members from the Senate Select Committee visited the. LBJ Library in Austin three weeks ago and reviewed material relating to alleged attempts to as sassinate? Cuban Premier Fidel Castro and information related to the Warren Commission Report on the assassination of President Kennedy. .As a result of the review of those files, the Senate Select Committee Staff has asked that certain documents be returned and made available to them in Washington. In ac- cordance with the arrangements made between the NSC. Staff and Archives, these materials have been forwarded for our review prior to release to the SSC Staff. Accordingly, last Thursday we received a package of 63 documents from Archives for review. - John Matheny and I have reviewed each of these documents and believe that although it is probably not possible to with- hold the documents in their entirety, am in many cases the Committee may be restricted to only having access to the documents on Archives or NSC premises. Staff members from the Committee have already reviewed the documents but were not allowed to take substantive notes during their review. The documents have been divided into eight separate categories of information,and a brief discussion and recommendation for handling documents within each of these categories now follows: M1 Page 2 m_ -2. The documents themselves are tabbed as an attachment to this memorandum and the letter on the Tab corresponds to the letter associated with the paragraph headings belowStaff. Papers. Documents 1, la thruelm, 5, 6, 7, 8, l7and 19 were prepared for, or as a result of, White House or NSC meetings. Document #li is a a briefing paper for the President for his participa- tion in a meeting and Document #5 is a record of the meeting of December 27, 1963 in which the President actually participated. John and I believe these documents constitute privileged information and, as a result, as a matter of principle should not be physically turned over to the Committee Substantively, we have no objection to allowing the Committee Staff to read this material or to have repeated access to it, however. Such access arrange- ments could be workedlout through the National Archives or could be handled directly by the NSC Staff. CIA Papers. Documents 2, 3, 3a, 3b, 4, 4a, 4b, 11, 18?, 18a, 20, 20a, 22,23, 23a and 25 were pre- pared by the Central Intelligence Agency and either forwarded directly to the White House or were generally circulated by that agency.? John and I have no objection to making these documents available to the Staff but believe that the matter should be resolved by the CIA. We understand that Document, for. example, 'has already been made available by the CIA and would thus believe that CIA would have no objection to also releasing #4a which appears to be an earlier draft of My own reaction is that the release of information contained in many of these documents could be expected to damage either our relations witha particular country, Mexico for example, in the case of Document: 2.0a, or compromise specific sources and methods of intelligence. I realize, however, that we must defer to CIA on pro- tection of sources and methods. NH 54214 Page 3 NH 54214 C. FBI Papers. Documents 10,12,12a, 14,1451, 13,13a, 15,15a, 15b, 16, 16a, 16b, were prepared\5r are the responsibility of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Again, although we have no major substantive problem with the release of this information on a classified basis, we believe that the-FBI should be asked to review it to ascertain that the sources of intelligence described in these documents would not be unduly compromised by releasing it to the Senate Select Committee Staff. With regard to documents in the #12 series, I don?t believe that the two covering notes concerning distribution of the document to Governor Connally relate to the Committee inquiry and, thus, would recommend that they simply be removed. In . Document itself the matter for resolution by the FBI is whether disclosure of the information would identify sources of intelligence. Documents in the 13 and 15 series relate to intelligence reports on the training of Negroes in Cuba for subversive operations against the United States.? Although we don't believe this is relevant to the Committee investigation, we believe the matter of disclosure should be considered by the FBI. In this case, however, recent events would seem to indicate that Cuban training of Negroes in sub- versive operationltactics may not have necessarily been geared toward the United States solely, especially in view of recent developments in Africa. The docu~ ments in the #16 series, although they would-appear to be relevantto the investigation, relate to sensitive intelligence source materials. This document, however, must also be cleared by the CIA since the last page of the document relates to the CIA Station Chief in a European country. State Department Memorandum. Document 9 is a December 1963 memorandum from Executive Secretary Read to McGeorge Bundy concerning papers prepared for a December Presidential meeting on Cuba. The memorandum indicates that the papers were prepared for the- ?President's's Page 4 NH 54214 54-. F. G. Cubelas Trial. Documents 21, 21a anerIb cg?lfin h_ and then it was crossed out to state "Secretary?s?, use at a 6 p. December 2 meeting. There is no further substantive discussion in that document. I would defer, however, to the Department of State as to whether or not that document could be released. Bill Attwood Activities. Documents 26, 27, 27a, 28, 28a, 29 and 29a relate to a special channel being cultivated between Premier Castro and President Kennedy. Although it may not. be'necessary to protect the information contained in these documents, without knowing whether there has been another public disclosure of the eidstenc'e of this channel, I would recommend that we not do so. In the event that this, or another similar channel, were ever to be used again in contacting or negotiating with the Cuban Government, it would be important not to disclose the existence or the substance of this one. I would believe that the Department of State w0uld be the most appropriate agency to review these documents and to inform us about the sensi? tivity of the?existence of the Attwood channel. Mafia Assassination Involvement. Documents 24 and 24a concern plans of Cuban exile groups to assassinate selected Cuban Government leaders and their tie-in with elements of "Cosa Nostra. The covering memorandum from Gordon Chase to Mr. Bundy discloses the substance of the underl~ wt ClA_memorandu:rn and I-would prepose to make it available only on an access basis. With regard to the CIA report itself, I believe that we should defer to the CIA on the matter of release or access. information that was furnished by th?gBiitis Cg (33(11) 1; Government. ThegEj'itingmbassy in Havana monitored the tria of the alleged involvement of Majors Cubelas and Guin in assassination attempts against Castro. (You may recall that the Washin ton Post article by Mr. George Crile 3 weeks ago related to AM-Lash and Major Cubelas. Page 5 "Although the :substance of the information contained . . in these documents is not sensitive, disclosure ?of the cuments would reveal our relationshipf with the??tis?yI overnrnent and the fact that the Britisl?j as sy ?ievamwas reporting information to the United States Govermnent. Whether this relationship or information is disclosed is a matter that must be decided by the Department of State and the [British Government and I would recommend that the Department of State be consulted. I14 H.. Mr. Hoover's November 24, 1963 Report. Document 30 is an interesting memorandum.' Either it is a transcript of a telephone conversation with FBI Director Hoover or it is a memorandum of conversation on his meeting with an official whose initials are WJ (presumably Walter Jenkins). The memorandum containing Mr. Hoover?s remarks is a substantive and relatively complete report on he evidently made in his conversation. Indeed, it appears to be a verbatim transcript of what he may have .said. Although it is not so marked, I believe the document should be classified SECRET and that we. should effect that classification. You will note that the memorandum relates to events surrounding the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald by .Jack Ruby. It discusses the Dallas Police Department handling of the case and the In addition, in indicates that we were tapping the telephone lines of the Cuban Embassy in Mexico and Opening mail addressed to the Soviet Embassy in Washington. John and I believe that the memorandum could be made available on an access basis only to the Com- mittee Staff and that the FBI and CIA should be informed of its existence. You may wish to review each of these documents yourself to determine whether they may or may not be released to the Committee Staff. Although my view may be a somewhat NH 54214 Page 6 NH 54214 DS) conservative view, in that in some cases I would recommend ONLY access as opposed to release? I believe the- nature 5f some of the documents is such that copies should not be delivered the Committee. At least, that should be our initial position. Because the Committee will more than likely buck at anything less than full and complete disclosure, you will, more than likely, want to consult either with Bill Hyland or General Scowcroft.q; You should be aware that the Committee is very anxious to have these documents made available and have been calling me at least twice every day. I have informed Mr. Epstein and Mr. Wallach, who arg members of the Committee Staff, that we are rev??tigg these documents as quickly as is possible, and because of the complexity and involvement of many different agencies that it is taking a considerable period of time. I indicated?that although the NSC Staff review is nearly finished, it will be necessary to seek formally the views of other agencies. Although I gave no definite time when we expected to complete our review, I indicated that I thought by the end of this week there would be an answer ready for them. When Mr. Epstein called me at 1:30 this afternoon he indicated that unless we produced the documents that he would be forced to have them subpoenaed. I indicated, in response, that we had been working diligently and devoting most of our time to this matter. I stated that most of my own time on Friday and all of my time today, Monday, had been devoted to this project and, that in my opinion, a subpoena could not quicken a review process that was already moving at full speed. Mr. Epstein indicated-that although they were unhappy with this delay that, for now, they would wait on our review. DunId:32931164 Page
