ST 250, eRERL IN 1 ULE EROVEEE BELIEVED TO BE: TERMI ATED The alert in Oriente Province’ (see: 2/0] __Ri96- 6) is be- lieved to be terminated. The alert, apparently. _promptéd by President KENNEDY‘s death on 22 November, was possibly: pre- scheduled to~terminate on 25 November. There have been ‘two orders which suggest that the alert was destined to be concluded on 25 November ; they are: 1) Access to the Coastal Observation Post at Puhta Maisi (20-15N 74-09W) was restricted until 25 November: because of the alert (see 2/qs{_|R667- 63); and 2) Subordinates of Banes, Headquarters Eastern Naval District, were to receive further orders on ‘the. 25th, presumably concerning their alert status (2/0 RL96-63); no such. orders have been noted in communications, 44USC2107(5)(g)(2)(D) b(iii) There have been no further references in intercepted -éommni-. cations to the alert since 02222 on 23 Roweniber, (2/08 R667-63) . It is possible that the restricted ‘access to the observation Post at Punta Maisi extends to- other Observation Post's ‘in Oriente Province such as reported on 23 November when Fir st’ Army Coastal. Observation Posts were placed in an alert status.- (2/LRI[__Ri88- 63), and that the restriction was to be lifted on 25 November by all those posts. ‘ Further indication that the alert has’ terminated is the fact that the Cuban Navy was engaged in an island-wide communications exercise on 25 November. It is considered unlikely that such an exercise would be conducted under alert conditions. “There have been no further néters was to the alert status of the (D percent Santiago de Guba) units which was first ob- served on 23 November (2/SsL[ _)RO5-63). All CRAF and Soviet Forces’ Cuba communications appear to be normal during this period, 22-26 November 1963. DIST: O/WA PLUS CG 2ND MAW Page 1 of 1 Page(s) SECRET KIMBO
