Latin America has a long tradition of smuggling, a long coastline, innumer- able isolated landing fields and drop zones, and inadequate security forces to control all such channels. | A. Last July a source in Costa Rica informed us that he had just helped unload a shipment of 30. rifles from Cuba. We sent a reliable agent back with the. source to locate the rifles, but. apparently they had already been removed and ‘hidden. B. A.Venezuelan Communist leader has been telling | guerrilla leaders that Cuba will soon send them mortars. It is always possible, of course, that he is fabricating to build up the morale of his units, but we must also conclude that if he is ; indeed making this up, he risks inevitable dis- illusionment. . | | | In summary, then, we have no hard proof that Cuba is sending weapons to Latin American insurgents. We have evidence that in principle Cuba does not intend to do so at present. But we have no ‘reason to be- lieve that they will not or cannot if they feel it necessary to do so, ~3- DoclId: 3272705166 Page 4

HW 535244 DRAFT BRIEFING NOTES : 18 February 1963 _ WEAPONS I. In general, the Cubans appear to be following the textbook for guerrillas in regard to provision of arms. We have strong evidence, from numerous sources, that they are telling the guerrilla war- fare students and their leaders to obtain their own weapons at home. We have enough reports and some good evidence, however, that there are just enough exceptions to prove the rule. A. our agent who was in the original group of Brazilian trainees said he was trained ex- clusively in the use and maintenance of the Garand M-1l and M-3 rifles and the Browning and Hotchkiss machineguns--all US weapons. His * ‘group was told that these were the weapons Brazilian guerrillas would be able to buy, steal, or take from the security forces at home.: | -B. Similarly the Argentine trainee mentioned earlier said their instructors told them Cuba would not be Sending weapons because there was a plentiful source of supply for any de-- _ termined guerrilla movement in its own home- land. DoclId:322705166 Page 2?
HW 535244 ——-SEEREF—_ Leaders of militant groups in Venezuela, Brazil, and Peru who have gone to Cuba seeking assistance have been told by the Cuban leaders that Cuba is willing to furnish funds, training, and technical assistance. Reference to weapons is pointedly omitted. This is reported to us by our agents in these Same groups. We have within the past month again checked with all of our stations in Latin: America to review what evidence we have of arms shipments from Cuba. There are several cases of radio trans- mitters admittedly brought in from Cuba (although in Venezuela so much radio equipment was stolen last fall this was unnecessary). I have already mentioned the weapons bought in Mexico for Guate- mala with money from Cuba. In Peru, the ‘guerrilla trainees who were rounded up in the Huampani- Satipo incident last March had been issued kits containing a Czech ‘rifle with a pistol grip, ap- parently of bloc origin. | Otherwise, however, in case after case guerrilla hardware turned out to have been bought or stolen locally; or smuggled in from the adjoining coun- try. We do not .have a Single case where we are certain of the Cuban origin of captured arms. _2- DoclId: 32205166 Page 3

- | oO AARMCUACALTIAY - pine on oon ToT TALS “THE WHITE HOUSE k2., WASHINGTON CORR pore , 4heeh.enll Rew 22 June 1962 MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT The Department of Defense has now approved, with some modifications, a plan developed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff to implement your instructions that renewed attention be given to the induction of Cuban refugees into the U.S. Armed Forces. Mental, moral and physical standards will be essentially those in effect for the induction of. Puerto Ricans, with some relaxations. These modifications include: lowering the mental. test score to 40 from 62, and no disqualification for dependents or lack of facility in English. The individuals accepted will be organized into Cuban: units through basic and advanced individual training. At the end of that time, they will either be selected for special forces training, integrated into regular units or separated for the convenience of -the government. It is hoped that as many as 1500 men can meet the reduced standards. Personally, I am very doubtful that any such figure can be reached, primarily because of the problem of motivation. As of 8 June 1961, 4152 Cubans had been interviewed. 734 had been found acceptable under the old standards, and 122 volunteered for ’ induction into the armed services as follows: 17 Army, 15 Navy, 18 Marine Corps, 72 Air Force. Of the 17 Army inductees, 8 requested and received discharges at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, on 14 June 1962, upon finding that they were not being trained in preparation for an invasion of Cuba. Whether the new program. will be more successful remains to be seen. os MAXWELL D. TAYLO _ DECLASSIFIED E.O. 12958, Sec. 3.5(b) 1 it \ bi ~ 2 : . alj By NARA, Date& ~ .
