Helms detailed his conversation with the young Cuban from the DRE) who pointed out that they were willing to commit people only on operations which they regarded as sensible. Helms defines sensible in Cuban terminology as meaning an action which would contribute to the liberatic of their country, another way of saying that the United States, perhaps in conjunction with other Latin American countries, would bail them out militarily. Helms' point was specially echoed by Huston and Ryan.SOURCE:16 Oct 62 memo for the record by R. Helms (01095)FILE: (STAFF:PGW6/30DATE:

S. could probably not get away with this either. A number of alternative base sites for the training of the Cubans was considered both in the United States, in Puerto Rico, at the CIA site on Saipan or in the Panama Canal zone. Mr. Douglas felt the "U. S. capability for intervention in Cuba will probably not be effective enough unless there is more overt participation than has been contemplated to date.""Mr. Grey supported this general position, stating that when the current Cuban plan was approved, the situation in that country was different than it is now. Since then, the Cubans have received sizeable amounts of bloc arms and have organized a malitia. Mr. Gray wondered how a few hundred exiles could be.""Mr. Mann expressed the opinion that the way to proceed is to seal Cuba off from the rest of Latin America and settle down for a one- or two-year wait..."SOURCE: Minutes of Special Group meeting Nov. 19, 1960.FILE:STAFF: Bob KelleyDATE: June 29, 1975
