13-00000 SECRET Report # BE~837, mm 20 Dec 63 (cont.) "On the 22nd of October 1962, during the crisis, KHRUSHCHEV capitulated and promised KENNEDY first to withdraw the missiles, then the bombers, and last the troops. Then CASTRO screamed like mad, rushed to the TV cameras, rebelled like a beast, and said that ‘no one could inspect him'...‘the discrepancies between Cuba and the USSR would be discussed between equals,’ and other similar things. ‘First sign of rebellion against the master who has sold him down the viver and who begins to abandon him. - “Later on MIKOYAN comes to Cuba and stays here for over a month without being able to get absolutely anything from CASTRO; he even had to withstand the humiliation of having to wait for hours to: be received by CASTRO. Second provocation. “Between July and August 1963 the traitor (CASTRO) is taken to _ the USER almost by by force on a mysterious trip from which he returns. without revealing absolutely anything. Later on the nuclear test ‘ban treaty is signed. CASTRO immediately refuses to sign it, claiming that while ‘Yankee Imperialism’ does not stop its aggressions against Cuba he will not sign. In addition, he aleo refused to support in the United Nations the resolution concerning the creation of a denuclearized gone in Latin America. “what lies behind all these happenings? Very simple. CASTRO has known since the 22nd of October 1962 that the USSR is going to abandon him, gradually but definitely. At this moment the USSR is most. Of-all - interested in an approach to the United states in view of ite ideological break with Red China and of the serious economic crisis which it has - been facing for some years. "That was the main reason why KENNEDY did not invade Cuba then, and that was his wisest decision. At that time. the break with China was imminent and under no circumstances could happenings be provoked which might tend to again unite the USSR and China. “It was necessary to 'freeze' Cuba for some time. fhe break took place on 14 Jun 63 through the famous letter with the 25 points of the Chinese Communist Party to the Soviet Communist Party--which document i have in my possession. Therefore, with that maneuver KENNEDY did not - humiliate the USSR and saved KHRUSHCHEV's face. | ~2- _* BECRET
