The object was to get wide Western Hemisphere support for OAS resolutions condemning Cuba and isolating it from the rest of the hemisphere. ''The OAS meeting is to be supported by public demonstrations in Latin America and a psychological campaign assisted by USIA."' The major task_of_the-diplomatic_capability._was to encourage Latin American leaders to develop independent operations similar to the instant project seeking an internal revolt of the ‘Cuban people against the Communist regime. In the economic warfare area an embargo on Cuban trade was to be considered after the OAS meeting. The CIA was unable to undertake the action to sabotage the sugar harvest which commences about January 15 and upon which Cuba's one-crop economy depended. Sabotage of transport, mills, sugar sacking in cane fields was explored, according to Lansdale's review. Special sabotage support was noted.
