b(iii) L0°(8) USACSD believes that Alpha 66 has an excellent potential to obtain military information from Cuba and also items of Soviet Ordnance material, Exploitation of Alpha 66 by USAOSD indicates that the following factors should be (considered Jearefully: a. if USAOSD attempted to coordinate the operational use of this organization with CIA, it is believed that CIA would request that the operation be turned over to them for exploitation. b. Alpha 66 appears more properly an action type organization engaged in combatting Communism by armed force than a clandestine organization, and might be better utilizad by General Landdale's shop, ce It is considered possible that the activities of Alpha 66 might have upset the current negotiations of Mr Donevon to effect the release of the Cuban prisoners, and consequently a policy decision might be made at the highest level to nullify Alpha 66, Further activities of Alpha 66 might upset political negotiations at the highest level, and reactions might affect any branch of the government assisting Alpha 66 in any manner. ad. It is interesting to note that Carlos Prio Socarros climbed on the bandwagon on 14 October and in a radio comment indicated that he was going to effectively support armed resistance to Castro. If he should begin contributing lazge sums of money to Alpha 66, and/or engage in similar activities, it could further upset national policy at the highest level, This could subsequently affect OACSI and USAOSD, depending upon reactions to events, USAGSD is currently engaged in exphoiting Socarras's political group, a. Re Recommended that: a, USAOSD present involvement with Alpha 66 be made explicitly clear to interested Divisione of OACSI, b. Further utilization of Alpha 66 by USAOSD be clarified by Operations Branch, Callection Division, in view of the many ramifications, ¢. That USAOSD be authwwized to exploit Alpha 66. d, That ONI be contacted for intelligence interest in Soviet UDT - countermeasures. 6, That utilization by General Lansdalefs group-be investigated. 2g
