ALERT IN ORIENTE PROVINCE BELIEVED TO BE TERMINATED
The alert in Oriente Province (see 2/0/CUN/R196-63) is be-
lieved to be terminated. The alert, apparently prompted by
President KENNEDY's death on 22 November, was possibly pre-
scheduled to terminate on 25 November. There have been two orders
which suggest that the alert was destined to be concluded on
25 November; they are:
1) Access to the Coastal Observation Post at Punta
Maisi (20-15N 74-09W) was restricted until 25 November because
of the alert (see 2/QS/CUN/R667-63); and
2) Subordinates of Banes, Headquarters Eastern Naval
District, were to receive further orders on the 25th, presumably
concerning their alert status (2/0/CUN/R196-63); no such orders
have been noted in communications.
There have been no further references in intercepted communi-
cations to the alert since 0222Z on 23 November (2/QS/CUN/R667-63).
It is possible that the restricted access to the Observation
Post at Punta Maisi extends to other Observation Posts in Oriente
Province such as reported on 23 November when First Army Coastal
Observation Posts were placed in an alert status
(2/LR1/CUM/R188-63), and that the restriction was to be lifted on
25 November by all those posts.
Further indication that the alert has terminated is the fact
that the Cuban Navy was engaged in an island-wide communications
exercise on 25 November. It is considered unlikely that such an
exercise would be conducted under alert conditions.
'
There have been no further references to the alert status
of the (D percent Santiago de Cuba) units which was first ob-
served on 23 November (2/SL/CUA/R05-63). All CRAF and Soviet
Forces Cuba communications appear to be normal during this
period, 22-26 November 1963.
