Washington, April 26,
1962.
SUBJECT
- Cuba
- 1.
- General Lansdale reported on
the activities as per the attached report.1
McCone expressed dissatisfaction
with progress; stated nothing had been accomplished in putting Cubans in
the Army for training and that no actions had been taken on matters
decided two weeks ago. (In other words, I was very disagreeable.)
McCone finally recommended
more action; acceptance of attribution if necessary; establishment of
training facilities; training of guerrillas and a more dynamic effort in
the infiltration of both agents and guerrillas.
Action: A meeting should be arranged between McCone, Lansdale, and Harvey, immediately upon Harveyʼs return.
