Apparently, he wants to keep the temperature low while we are sorting out our Vietnam problern. 5. Cuban Deals with So2in and Morocco - Cuba recently concluded long-term y Sugar agreements with Spain and Morocco, The Spanish are willing to buy sugar at a higher price than the Russians are willing to pay (so they can sell ships), and this especially bugs us.

Mr. Bundy eae March 2, 1965 7, Communications Security Survey - The BOB study group has finished with - dhe Ranch and has completed about 2/3 of the Washington portion of its work. The balance should go fairly quickly in view of the fact that we recently blasted loose the information which the group needed on the telephone system at the “White House and EOB, The group will probably not examine the emergency locations. There is not much there that they can usefully do and it does not ¥seem worth the time and effort to override Ted Clifton's objections; besides, this less urgent task can be done at some future date, “ The group is running behind schedule (report due on March 1). They asked for another month, and I gave it to them; I'm fairly confident they will meet the new deadline. 6C. Gordon Chase __TOB-SBERETSEsEs_OULy eee ie Le eT On en HW 54214. Docld: 32977067.

As I mentioned on the phone, it woul be greatly appreciated if you could supply aay information that may be in State Department files concerning the travel a Aa of Dr. Sidney Gottlieb to the Congo (now Zaire) in 1960. Dr. Gottlieb was, at that time, an cnployee of the CIA.

C., arriving approximately on September 27, 1960. lic probably travelled to Brazzaville and immediately made his way co Leopoldville. It also appears that the person in question -- probably Dr. Gottlieb departed from Leopoldville for the United States on October 3, The Committee would be interested in any record of such a trip that mipht be derived from a review of passports issued to Dr. Gottlieb (cither in his true nano or under alias) or from any more detailed travel records that might be on file, such as personnel orders, travel documents, and any pertinent cables.

7 May 1962 MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD SUBJECT: Report of Progress to Higher Authority I reported to higher authority the substance of Mr. Harvey's briefing of the Special Group (Augmented) on 3 May 1962, pointing out the very limited progress which has been made and the uncertainty of the ultimate effectivness of our program. I mentioned the Duque incident as indicative of the morale problem. It was agreed that we would continue along the present lines until the terminal date of the present phase in August.

HW 54714 He mentioned as examples what the U.S. response should be in the event of a revolt and whether or not a naval blockade should be mounted. The Group agreed that such planning, in addition to the military contingency plans already prepared, must be pursued. Although recognizing that this type of activity is not within the ‘ . MONGOOSE framework, Mr. pundy ‘tok that General Lansdale's group, particularly the State representative, Coutd do the initial exploration of possibilities for later consideration by the Special Group, the Secretary of State and higher authority. On the other hand, General Carter felt strongly that if General Lansdale and his associates were given the responsibility for developing the spectrum of possible decisiongof this kind, it would inevitably detract from the time available for MONGOOSE operations. This matter was left open for further consideration at a meeting next week. OC - Go tad - KuuReuy d afeles om DoclIda: 32977062 Page 6

W. Parker, General Edward G. Lansdale. The Group was informed of the contents of the attached memo- randum recording a 28 March meeting of the operational represen~- tatives. General Lansdale pointed out that the psychological activities were within existing policy and would be developed as indicated. The "food for prisoners" proposal was presented as requiring policy approval. Mr. Wilson noted that a press statement had not been issued since none of the families in the Miami area had been reported as planning to return to Cuba. Mr. Johnson said that State had not made the decision, as reported. Mr. Kennedy commented that the decision was made ina strange way, since he had agreed to I&NS permitting re-entry upon State's representation to him that the action was ready to go, except for that permission. General Lansdale alerted the Group, for the particular atten- tion of the FBI and CIA, that the situation among refugees in south- ern Florida was explosive, that undetected Communist agents among the refugees there could turn emotional demonstrations into riots very damaging to the U.S. On "food for prisoners," the Group decided that State would explore promptly the possibility of a 3rd country ambassador approaching Castro privately on behalf of private relief agencies, the legality of using PL 480 surplus foods for this purpose, and the private relief organizations which would undertake such a delivery.
