RECENTLY CONCLUDED HOS REVIEW OF ZRPRIMA PROGRAM SHOWS.
THAT EUBAT EFFORTS HAVE NOT ACHIEVED ANY SIGNIFICANT RESULTS AND
CONTINUATION OF PROGRAM AS SUCH NO LONGER WARRANTED MAIN REASON
FOR KUBARK FAILURE IS THAT CUBAN TECHNICIAN RECRUITING PROGRAM
HAS BEEN MISERABLE FAILURE WHEN ERASURED AGAIN/ORIGINAL
OBJECTIVE OF 2000 TECHS FROM WESTERN EUROPE ALONE THOUGH OUR
FIGURES NOT COMPLETE WE ESTIMATE PROBABLY LESS THAN FIFTY
CANDIDATES HAVE RECEIVED CONTRACT APPROVAL AND WE ABLE CONFING
ABOUT TEN WED HAVE ACTUALLY MADE IT TO THE ISLAND. KUBART
SUCCEEDED, WIN INSERTING ABOUT THIRTY
CHS INTO.
VARIOUS BIRING CHANNELS, BUT SO FAR ONLY THO HAVE RECEIVED CONTRACT
APPROVAL FROM HAVA.
CUBAN FAILURE TO RECRUIT IN SIGNIFICANT NUMBERS APPEARS
RELUCTANCE FOREIGN MINISTRY AND FOREIGN SERVICE
OFFICERS PURSUE TECH RECRUITING MISSION: AGGRESSIVELY, BUREAUCRATIC
INCOMPETENCE IN HAVANA, FEAR OF INFILTRATION OF HOSTILE AGENTS

INTO CUBAN HIRING CHANNEL. /STATIONS WITH ACTIVE LEADS SHOULD STAY
WITH THEM IN THE HOPE THEY MAY STILL BE HIRED, BUT CEASE EFFORTS
TO GENERATE LEADS FROM SCRATCH. ON OTHER HAND, THERE ARE PAIR
NUMBER NON BLOC TECHS IN CUBA AND IT LIKELY CUBANS WILL CONTINUE
TO HIKE NESTNITED SELECTIVE BASIS AS THEY DID PRIOR
