SECRETCUBA30 April 1957MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORDSUBJECT: Vaivada1.  During the morning of 30 April Mr. Millard of Cover tele-    phoned regarding Subject, citing IN 35508. Mr. Millard said that    he would be meeting with Vaivada at 1600 hours today and proposed    providing him with a temporary rather than permanent cover with    the new cover company which was being contemplated for long-range    development. Mr. Millard's reasoning was that he did not wish    to place Vaivada under the new company with the chance that the    trial period approved for the Station might cause Vaivada to be    pulled out from that cover in short order. Mr. Millard said that    the temporary cover he intended offering Vaivada would be adequate.2. I concurred with the above proposal.W. GALBRAITHC/WH/IIISECRET201-168881
