13-00000 - a 14 February 1964 MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD SUBJECT: Special Group (5412) Meeting at 1600 on 13 February i. Present were Mr, McGeorge Bundy, Mr. McCone, Mr. Vance, General Taylor, Mr. Alexis Johnson, Mr. Mann, General Carter, Mr. FitzGerald, and Peter Jessup. General Taylor and Mr, FitzGerald were present. only for the Cuban item, 2. Prior to the arrival of Mr. Bundy, General Taylor mentioned to Mr, Alexis Johnson an upcoming trip of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to Norfolk, Fort Bragg, and Panama. After some jocular bantering, Mr. Johnson vetoed the Panama portion ‘of the trip, with General Taylor hoping that this denial was purely for the physical protection of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, 3. Mr. McCone mentioned the possibility that he might go to Saigon next week to see what was going on out there, He stated that we were not getting sufficient timely information from the Ambassador and that while he and Mr. McNamara might be going out later as a follow-up to their December trip, he felt the need to go now. General Taylor pointed out that there have been a great many visitors to Saigon in recent months and perhaps we should give them a rest out there for a while. In any event, he thought perhaps the newly-created NSAM com- mittee headed by Sullivan would want to make such a trip. General Taylor seemed reluctant to have Mr. McCone go at this time. Mr. Johnson said he would take a look at it rand be in touch with Mr. McCone early next week, 4, The first item on the agenda was a discussion of the Vance memo of 10 February on ''Clandestine and Covert Activities Against Cuba.'' Mr. Vance stated that he was strongly . for this course of action, that the risks were minimal, and that ,
13-00000 oa 2 = the JCS and Secretary McNamara also strongly supported it. Mr. Johnson pointed out that he would be much happier if the paper had been sent to the Cuban Coordinating Committee in accordance with usual procedures. Mr. Vance stated that the committee knows all about it and are for it. Mr. McCone stated that he was disturbed over the trend of events in Cuba and that this particular paper really does not go far enough, He pointed out that our economic denial program was eroding away and that the courses of action proposed by Mr. Vance's memo gave Castro maximum grounds for righteous indignation without really accomplishing anything. Mr. Vance stated that prior activities in this regard had created great consternation in Cuba, and Bundy challenged this and asked for proof, Mr. McCone pointed out the many times that we have had to stand down actions of this type in order to avoid raising the noise level. General Taylor said that what we really must do is to reaffirm the belief of the senior policy makers to the President that a program of this type must be continued. Mr, Bundy pointed out that the Secretary of Defense had previously stated to the President, along with Secretary Rusk, that they were not enthusiastic for this type of activity but he noted now that Mr. McNamara had reversed his position, Bundy pointed out that we have been somewhat hesitant to go ahead full force on these actions because we did not want to prejudice our position before the OAS in connection with the Venezuelan arms cache, Mann stated that our entire program as regards Cuba was ineffective insofar as it could result in any overthrow of Castro, At about this point both Mr. Mann and Mr. McCone stated that we should do everything possible to create provocations and distressing actions against Castro, Bundy. stated that the low risk actions appear unrewarding and that rewarding actions have too high a risk, Mann stated that we need to do a lot more homework before the next OAS meeting (presently unscheduled) and Bundy said in any event we must have a top-level Cabinet Meeting with the President to discuss this whole matter. The agenda item was left as follows: a. Mann is to get the Crimmins staff hard at work on the Vance paper and on other alternative courses of action to include pros and cons, noise levels, estimated results, etc.
13-00000 b. Mann is to send around a draft OAS resolution which was prepared during Martin's time. c. As to the specific paragraphs of the Vance memo, Bundy indicated his personal views (not an Administration commitment) that items 1 and 2a were OK; 2b for Cuban ships only; 3a should be intensified; 3b and 3c were directly connected to a separate black- list enterprise; 4 was OK. As for actions against Cuban subversion in Latin America, on paragraph 1 we should see just what our opportunities are, and on para- graph 2 CIA should determine just what we think the local traffic will bear and just what our capabilities might be. . Finally, after a very short discussion on low-level reconnaissance requirements for Cuba, General Taylor and Mr. McCone decided to pay close attention to high-level results on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and to take a fresh reading on the matter on Monday. Action: DD/I to cover the low-level matter over the weekend, DD/P to ride herd on the activities generated by the Vance memo. 5. The next item was a very cursory review of the covert action programs for France, Tibet,|_ ~|and China, Mr. Vance asked how we could measure the effectiveness of such actions and Mr. McCone pointed out to him that this could not be really adequately measured and gave all the reasons therefor. Mr. Vance stated that he was just getting broken into this type of activity and he would appreciate some briefings by the action officers. (It was subsequently arranged through Pete Jessup to have Colby and Bill O'Ryan make appointments with Secretary Vance specifically to discuss French operations and our Far Eastern operations. 6 Mr. McCone then brought up the matter of the SAC U-2 aircraft in Manila as covered in his memorandum of 13 February which was not given any distribution. Mr, McCone said that ever since 1954 it had been established policy that all reconnaissance flights over denied and unfriendly territory or covert flights over
13-00000 . friendly territory were a responsibility of the Director of Central Intelligence with the customary approvals of the Special Group and that he wished this policy reaffirmed and proper direction be given so that the DCI would designate the organiza~ tion and resources to be used, either SAC. or CIA. Mr. Vance stated that NRO was involved and that upon receiving the urgent requirement from CINCPAC for this single flight and upon learning that the Taiwan assets were stood down because of fuel control problems, the JCS, Mr. McNamara, and he had agreed that SAC should fly the flight. He stated that Mr. McAfee of the State Department had been informed on Sunday night and that the Base Commander in the Philippines also knew about it. He stated that there were only two targets concerned and that with luck they could be obtained with a single flight. Mr. McCone_ pointed out that the question had not been raised with him by Steakley as to military aircraft or sanitized aircraft nor was he aware of the cover plan that might be utilized in the event of difficulties. Mr. Vance stated it would be the regular cover plan of a weather ship off course, Vance said this was a one- shot problem only and that as soon as it was completed, the planes and crews would be withdrawn. He said both he and ‘McNamara were greatly surprised when they learned that SAC had sent three airplanes and seven crews to perform this single mission. He said they could understand the need for two air- planes in case one aborted but certainly not this large contingent. He said this had no connection with the South Vietnam broad coverage mapping and that the Taiwan assets should be used for this. 7. It was apparent that all were in agreement that the Director of Central Intelligence had the responsibility for. approving requirements for photo coverage and for determining the appropriate resources to be used for this coverage whenever it required overflights of denied or hostile territory or whenever it required covert flights over friendly territory. Mr. Bundy stated that the DCI should prepare the necessary directive to this effect and circulate it to the other members of the Special Group for their approval at the next meeting. Action: DD/S&T

13-Q0009 rr od ro rd Yer tty 18 January 1964 MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD SUBJECT: Disarmament Meeting on 18 January 1964 at the White House 1. At 2:45 this date Mr. Alexis Johnson informed me that there would be a meeting with the President at 3:15 p.m., in the White House to discuss the most recent revision of his proposed statement to the Geneva Conference, and that I was expected to be there. Upon arriving at the meeting place I was handed a draft by Adrian Fisher. It subsequently developed that McNamara, Rusk, Taylor, and the President must have had this draft for at least long enough to have thoroughly reviewed and considered it. In any event, I read it immediately and was struck by the fact. that in those areas of the original draft as given to Mr. McCone by Dr. Scoville in which the DCI had taken exception, ameliorating language had been inserted in the new draft to considerably temper and meet objections of Mr. McCone. The draft was now much more a speech by the President as to what he hoped might develop as a result of mutual give and take rather than a statement of U. S. policy and definite intentions. 2. The President entered the room shortly, accompanied by Bill Moyer and Jack Valenti. Others present were Rusk, McNamara, General Taylor, Dr. Seaborg, Adrian Fisher, and myself. Alexis Johnson was not present. 3. The President opened by stating that he had read the revised draft and wanted to know if there were any objections to it. Dr. Seaborg pointed out that he had some hesitancy about opening totally his closed-down plants for international inspection (paragraph 3, page 3) but that there were many ways of deter- mining whether or not the reactor was in fact shut down -- he simply did not want to give carte blanche to inspectors overrunning the entire plant. This position was adopted. Dr. Seaborg then
13-Q0000 eT an ane Pe, ‘ey : i re 2k oa 4 -2- said that he wanted it understood that the closing down of the plants was not necessa rily a permanent commitment and that whenever it became necessary or desirable, in the absence of international agreement to the contrary, we should retain complete freedom of action to reopen a reactor any time we chose. This position was agreed. 4. Mr. McNamara pointed out that he had been working steadily the last few days to get agreement in the Pentagon on a paper substantially in accord with this draft and that the only thing that now gave them a problem was subparagraph (c) on page 4 as to the establishment of nuclear-free zones. He said — if this could be deleted, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Department of Defense would buy the paper. Their concern was that we would get so involved in these zones that we would lose freedom of action to shift nuclear weapons through the Canal Zone, for example, or by air through overflights. Secretary Rusk pointed out that they had discussed this a num- ber of times before, that it was nothing new, and that he would hope we could establish nuclear-free zones in Latin America and Africa for example. The President said that when the crunch came he depended on the Joint Chiefs of Staff and that he must have them on his side. Accordingly the paragraph on nuclear -free zones was eliminated. 5. I then stated that the President should know that there was on record a letter from Mr. McCone pointing out some problem areas that could develop in a number of these points, particularly as to our getting bac nto a position of letting up on the need for full and adequate verification. I further said that aside from the intelligence aspects of the problem, there were certain policy matters as regards reaction of West Germany, and particularly France, that should be considered. The President then asked for Mr. McCone's letter and glanced through it rather hurriedly, General Taylor asked to see the letter and he did the same. I then gave a copy to Secretary Rusk, particularly pointing out those portions of DCI's letter concerning his membership on » the Committee of Principals and his reservations at the policy
13-00000 Eyes GLY -3 level, Mr. Rusk indicated he had seen Mr. McCone's letter. (Subsequently Mr. Adrian Fisher stated that they had worked all afternoon and most of the night in revising the original draft to meet the objections raised by the DCI and he thought that they had moderated their language and weasel-worded the statement adequately to meet DCI's objections.) The President then asked me if I had any specific, further objections to the statement now that the nuclear-free zone problem had been eliminated and that the DCI's letter was on record. I stated that depending upon what was actually finally determined as an international agreement, we might be in serious trouble on ‘verification but that this problem would come later. I felt that as a statement by the President there was adequate protection in future negotiations to ensure the best interests of the United States. (I subsequently checked with Adrian Fisher who assured me that there was no backoff in ACDA and State from the require- ment for adequate verification and that the additional words inserted in the latest draft were specifically to meet DCI's prior objections. In other words, DCI's letter of comment is a matter of record with the President and the other principals at the meeting, and the President commented that the Central Intel- ligence Agency was certainly a smooth-operating outfit. It was obvious that he had his tongue in his cheek in this regard to indicate that we not only covered our rear but our flanks as well. ) The President then directed a number of actions as regards Congressional briefings, preparation of a talk for him to make to the American public in explanation of his Geneva Conference statement. In connection with this speech for American con- sumption, he directed that it be prepared so that any tenant farmer could understand it -- ten words per sentence, four sen- tences per paragraph, and four-letter words throughout. 6 This ended discussion of the Geneva Conference statement. 7. New subjects: a. There was then a discussion of a letter to Khrushchev but I was not aware of the contents nor were the contents mentioned. _ The discussion revolved around the date at which such a letter would be made public.
13-00000 -4- b. The President then expressed his great concern over the emergent situation in Panama. He said that he had proposed injecting himself directly into the problem yesterday with a public statement and approaches to the OAS specifically to lay down publicly exactly what the facts were as regards Panamian aggression, intrusions into the Zone, killing of American soldiers with rifle bullets by snipers while they were armed only with bird shot, etc., etc. He said that he had been dissuaded from this course by the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of State and others. He said he was shocked to read in this morning's New York Times a story (presumably the Tad Szulc article) that pretty well covered exactly what his proposals were. He said he still felt if was a good idea and that he thought Harriman, Rusk, McNamara, Johnson, and others should assemble small groups of Latin American Ambassadors and tell therm what he, the President, wanted to tell them. He thought it was an even better idea if he did it himself. I did not get the impression that a decision was made in this regard nor do. I think any action will be taken as a result of this meeting. Unfortunately the discussion centered then on the security aspects of leaks to the public and the President expressed in no uncertain terms, with great persuasiveness and even more emphasis, his unhappiness at his complete inability to say anything to anyone without its immediately’ being in the papers or getting around town. He made some very pointed comments reflecting on the integrity of the State Department and of the Department of Defense in this regard. He felt.the situation had become extremely serious in the past two months since he had become President and did not recall | any such problem when he was meeting periodically with President Kennedy. He said he was prepared to clean house wherever necessary to overcome this. Secretary Rusk pointed out that this had been going on for twenty years and was nothing new and McNamara agreed. The President thought it was worse than he had ever seen it before and that in his 22 years on the Armed Services Committee and around the Hill he had never been involved in anything like this nor had he ever been be] | ren Woe UE a ed

No decisions were taken, no actions directed although both Rusk and McNamara indi- cated they would immediately take whatever steps were feasible to improve the situation. c. The President then reverted to Cuba and said that he questioned seriously whether these sabotage efforts were the proper thing for the U. S. to be doing. He thought they were both hypocritical and ineffectual and while he under- stood the need for some of them to maintain the morale of internal dissidents to the Castro regime and to maintain the morale of Cuban exiles, he thought probably these consider- ations were outweighed by the hypocrisy of our seeking peace and talking peace and conducting this sort of activity on the side. Rusk said that he had never been in favor of this pro- gram and had the same doubts the President did. McNamara said that he too had never been in favor of this program and questioned our participation. I stated that while this program _was conducted by the CIA, every action taken had the full approval of the Special Group on which the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense were adequately represented and that the program was designed in part for the specific purpose of generating internal sabotage and dissidents with a view to creating as many problems as possible for Castro and with a view to getting an escalation of anti-Castro activi- ties in Cuba, that over the long run any type of effort such as this was an irritant to Castro and that such action had some effect, even though slight, on the Cuban economy. I said that over the long run you could not expect the Castro regime to fall from these actions alone but that every little bit helped, and that we had noticed over the past four months a considerable increase in sabotage actions generated from internal Cuban elements over which we exercised no control. I said that I could not take exception to the fact that this policy was a hypocritical one in the light of a peace offensive although I did not feel we were trying to make peace with Castro. I also pointed out that sabotage activities in North CET Lr re EVs C.1Y
13-00000 ‘ ° Vietnam likewise had hypocritical aspects. At this point Mr. McNamara demurred and said North Vietnam was an entirely different matter but he gave no reasons therefor and this point was not developed further. General Taylor noted that in connection with sabotage operations they kept Castro constantly on the alert and kept his forces heavily occupied running hither and yon. The President noted that this was probably true but so little gain in it and generally seemed disaffected with sabotage efforts. Rusk pointed out that there was some value in maintaining some pressure of | this type since to completely desist would eventually lead Castro to believe that he was immune from retaliation. The President then directed that he wanted a complete review of our Cuban policy and some new, imaginative thinking developed. I stated that this was presently heavily in train in all appropriate agencies of the Government, and Rusk and McNamara nodded their agreement. The President said he would want to meet as soon as people had drawn up their. proposals. In connection with Cuba the President noted that he continued to desire the most drastic pressures on our - Allies to insist upon their cooperation and assistance and compliance in our economic denial program against Cuba. He said that Segni and Erhard had both assured him we could count on the full cooperation of Italy and West Germany to cease any further Cuban trade. He said he wanted similar discussions prepared for him whenever he met these leaders and for our leaders to take the same line in any discussions they might have. There was minor discussion as regards the situation in BER Vietnam with no one indicating any great enthusiasm or any great surge of hopefulness as to the present situation. The President stated he was most unhappy to be making a speech indicating that things were improving and then to have a USIA spokesman and an Embassy spokesman state in Saigon that things were falling apart. He said somebody was getting poor advice as well as poor information and he was inclined . to think it was he. He said that he was new in the job and that he had in the past several months based his actions on
13-00000 the advice and guidance he had received from his principal advisers whom he considered professionals and experts © in their fields. He said he was beginning to have serious doubts that his own judgment had been wrong in a number of cases although he was the first to admit that he had been wrong in the past throughout his life at various times and was certainly no more immune than anyone else from making mistakes. I got the distinct impression that he was mighty unhappy with some of the actions he has takenas a result of recommendations from State. Ialso got the feeling that from here on out he is much more liable to use his own intuition and prescience as to what should be done and what should not be done in the daily operations of his actions in the foreign policy field. e. Turning to more pleasant matters, the President noted that the dinner he had given for the Congressional Committee leadership had been a complete success and that he was going to repeat it again on the 23rd and the 30th. He had received nothing but highly favorable accolades from the people who had attended and many of them indicated it was the first time they had ever been in the White House and certainly the first time they had had an adequate briefing by the Administration leadership: The President said that he . had received a phone call saying that he should continue this and he was certainly going to do so. He had also been promised that at least in large measure as a result of this briefing he would have a tax bill reported out by Wednesday. The President then said we could do a lot better. He told “Rusk and McNamara that they should take a nap in the after- noon prior to these two dinners so they would be much fresher and more alert -- that they had done an A No. 1 job but not quite up to the caliber that they had put on for the labor leaders -- in his mind that performance could not have been better. The President said he had planned for the briefing to be twenty minutes and that instead it had lasted an hour. He said that this was entirely too long and that Mr. McCone alone had spoken for seventeen minutes. He cee t- of fa we nts EVES Gai
13-00000 OCLKCI EVES (31 then said that for the next two dinners he was going to have only two briefers and the briefing would be scheduled for fifteen minutes and that twenty minutes was the absolute maximum he:would sit still for. He. said he wanted Mr. Rusk and Mr. McNamara to work this out together, with Mr. McNamara covering both the U. S. military and the Soviet military as covered by Mr. McCone, and Rusk covering the Soviet economy and the world roundup as covered by Rusk and McCone at the last hearing. I sub- sequently checked with Bill Moyer to determine whether. ‘this was a change from the President's instructions to Mr. McCone or whether it might have been an oversight. Mr. Moyer stated that the President had given much thought to this and since Mr. McCone would be away, he had changed the system to the one just enumerated. This makes abun- dant sense to me under the circumstances and I considered any further discussion either with Moyer or the President inappropriate. . 8. The meeting then broke up at 4:15 because the President had to go out to dedicate a building. 9. The foregoing notes are ina single copy and will be shown only to the Director upon his return. Any actions indicated will be directed by me at the Monday morning meeting. I will senda very short, sanitized report of this meeting to Mr. McCone by cable, | Marshall S, Carter . Lieutenant General, USA’ Acting Director
l, The background as to the purpose of this visit is covered in my Memorandum for the Record dated | January on my visit to Independence to see Mr. Truman. . . 2. We departed Kansas City airport in the early afternoon of 31 December, arriving at the Johnson City airport ghortly before 3:00. This airport was built by President Johnson in his own back yard and was subsequently turned over to Johnson City as their airport. We were taken to the Johnson residence and made com- fortable in the combination office-sitting room just off the dining room. Coffee was served and ina few moments the President and Mrs. Johnson joined us. After appropriate welcoming to the ranch, Mrs. Johnson retired to her household chores. 3. Mr. Murphy briefed the President on our discussions with Mr. Truman and reported to the President Mr. Truman's desire to help in any way he could during the coming year. Mr. ‘Murphy followed generally the comments indicated in my previous memorandum as put forward by Mr. Truman. I thought he gave a much too favorable report on Mr. Truman's condition and mental agility. This was understandable to me since Murphy is one of the junior old cronies of Mr. Truman. The President asked me for _ my reaction and I gave it substantially in accordance with the last paragraph of my Truman memorandum. I told the President that I certainly felt Mr. Truman was willing to do anything he could or was asked to do to assist President Johnson; that my own reaction was that Mr. Truman was in some respects senile and living 90% on memories and his past. I stated that I thought there was certainly nothing wrong with Mr. Truman's mind or alertness but that I felt some caution should be exercised in just how Mr. Truman's assets might be utilized. The President made no comment except to note
13-00000 ~2= wryly that he himself occasionally had problems with his memory » but that he did not think he was yet living with it entirely. The President then noted that we should have been briefing Mr. Truman more often and that perhaps had we done so, it would have pre- vented the type of article he had recently published about the CIA. The President then stated that he wanted President Hoover, President Eisenhower, and President Truman briefed monthly on the international situation as well as on the domestic situation and what his programs were. (Action: This requires follow-up with the White House and possibly a discussion between Mr. McCone and the President since Mr. McCone indicated informally that he . thought once a month was too often and that, in any event, while CIA can handle the international situation, we should have some other agency handle the domestic situation. ) 4. The President then made a number of statements which seemed to be in part his philosophy of operations and in others a repetition of his conversation with Erhard. It was difficult to separate when he was repeating what he had said to Erhard and when he was stating a Johnson principle. 5. The President stated that he was much taken with Erhard and that he thought him a smart, articulate German who was much more appealing than Adenauer. Erhard apparently attempted to feel the President out as to his reactions to various statements and positions taken by deGaulle. The President got the impression that Erhard was initially trying to play off deGaulle against the President. Mr. Johnson told Erhard that as far as he, Mr. Johnson, was con- cerned, he was going to do everything possible to promote a peaceful world but without in any way relaxing either our guard or our military strength; he was prepared to walk around the world if necessary to promote peace when he was convinced that such walking would assist -- on the other hand, he had no intention of making trips just to cultivate friends and promote the giving away of U. S. resources in an effort to entice people to join our camp, if they wanted to come in willingly . with their eyes open, he would welcome them but he felt it was time for other nations to do some thinking on their own and to make their
13-00000 -3- own judgments without the need for U. S. persuasion in the form __ of concrete financial and military aid. Accordingly, the President intended to stay home and do his own heavy thinking as to just how he can best promote peace -- if this led to trips, then he would take trips. If people wanted to come to see him to talk about peace or other matters, he would be delighted to receive them but there must be something worthwhile to talk about and something that will lead in the proper direction. He said that during his lifetime the United States had been forced to fight two wars because of Germany and that he was not going to allow any situation .to develop which might lead in that direction again so long as he was President. He said he would not be a party to any shilly- shallying in that direction and that Germany must make up its own mind and see which way they intend to go. If it were going to be toward deGaulle, then say so. If it were going to be toward the United States and its concept of a free world, then say so and prove it by putting more effort into their actions in this regard -- more effort in the way of more money and more support of United States policies. He told Erhard that this was the way he felt and there was no point in Erhard trying to play off deGaulle against President Johnson nor to try to get Germany in the middle between those two nations. The President said that Erhard apparently accepted this frank talk and for the rest of the visit never once mentioned deGaulle. 6. The President then directed that Salinger acquire from USIA and CIA a roundup of world reaction as to Erhard's visit. He said that if we did not make any money on that deal, we might just as well fold:up our tent insofar as influencing foreign visitors was concerned because he, the President, had really put out and had really talked turkey to Erhard -- which was the only way he, the President, knew how to talk. He said that this administration was being criticized for either having no foreign policy or a poor one and that he therefore wanted as much publicity as possible on the highly favorable aspects of the Erhard visit. (I subsequently had a CIA report prepared and forwarded to Salinger on 1 January,’ pointing out that it was an initial report and that a real reading on Ambassadorial and Governmental reactions would be coming along
13-00000 later since it takes more time to acquire these from somewhat sensitive sources. 7. The President then went on to say that people seem to have the impression he was going to sit back and try to keep things on an even keel so as not to disturb the upcoming election. He said that this was a wrong impression for people to have and that he intended to do everything he possibly could to ensure maintaining and augmenting the great forward momentum that President Kennedy had been developing toward world peace and proper domestic policies. He said that this was a time for real action and that the United States must get itself out of this trend of thought that it sits back and reacts to others' actions rather than creates actions of its own. He is tired of reacting -- he wants to act and let others react to him and this is one of the things he intends to think about during upcoming months. He therefore urges the most imaginative thinking possible both in and out of Government to see how best his ends can be attained. He pointed out that this was not going to be easy because this was an election year and lots of people would be looking for ways to attack him and his policies. He said, however, that he could not sit by and watch this opportunity for promoting peace and understanding among nations to dissipate simply because it was an election year in which he would be politically involved. 8. The President then said that he had been totally dis- satisfied with what the State Department had proposed he send to Khrushchev and he had therefore sat down at the desk (pointing) and had in his own handwriting composed the New Year's message to Khrushchev. He intended to continue to promote every possibility for a basis of understanding looking toward peace and again reiterated that any agreement would never be at the expense of our own security. 9. He then asked me for a briefing of any current situations that he should be brought up to date on. I brought him up to date on Cyprus, on Cuba, and on South Vietnam since he had indicated that he had read recent Checklists,
13-00000 ose 10. As to Cuba, he stated his dissatisfaction with our present policies and actions connected therewith and said that shortly after his return to Washington, and probably after the State of the Union message, he wanted a comprehensive review of the Cuban situation and our policies and he wanted the most imaginative and forward thinking people put to work on seeing what else could be done. He did not feel the sabotage efforts would ever really result in any ultimate goals for U. S. interests but was prepared to accept some of them if they promote internal dissidents and assisted the morale of the people we were working with in Cuba, He stated he was not at all satisfied with the Governmental actions taken thus far to curtail free world trade with Cuba. He said he had told Erhard that he could not tolerate West German trade with Cuba and that Erhard had assured him that while it was very small, he would put a complete stop to it as soon as he returned to Germany. The President directed that thorough preparation be made so that when Pearson visits the United States, Mr. Johnson can take him on in the same manner and similar preparations should be made for other free world countries doing appreciable business with Castro, ll. There was then a discussion with Staats and Murphy about some sort of pork barrel program which was to be canceled and which Hubert Humphrey and Elvis Stahr had taken violent exception to. Apparently the President had received a vitriolic letter from Elvis Stahr about this matter because he commented that he now understood why Stahr had made such an inadequate Secretary of the Army. The lines of action directed by the President as to preparation of responses was not a matter for CIA, 12. There was then a discussion as to some sort of adjust- ment in tax procedures which, by reducing a figure from 15 to 14, would save some $800 million this year, Neither Mike Forrestal nor I heard this loud and clear but I think it had to do with adjusting withholding tax deductions. In any event, no decision was reached by the President and the conversation was directly with Staats and not for the rest of the group.
13-00000 - -6- 13. The President then turned to Indonesia and stated that he was faced with the necessity of making a decision as to whether or not it was in the national interest to continue aid to Indonesia. This decision had to be made by him in accordance with the foreign aid bill just passed, He said he wanted in writing from Secretary Rusk, Secretary McNamara, and Mr. McCone their recommendations as to what his decision should be. He also wanted to get reactions from Senator Russell and several other Congressional leaders. He quoted a figure of $25 million which was involved. (Action: The . | wheels are grinding in the Agency to come up with a pro and con and consequences paper for the Director upon which he may make his recommendation to the President. The figures are somewhat con- fused and the actual amount appears to be in the neighborhood of $60 million. Mike Forrestal has these figures pretty well tied down and points out that the Presidential decision does not require any action on PL 480 funds. ) 14. The President then stated that he was totally dissatisfied with the proposed program for alleviating poverty which apparently suggested that he ask Congressional authorization for a lump sum of money which he would administer through some sort of newly- created poverty administration. He said he wouldn't touch it with | a ten-foot pole and that if he proposed anything like that on the Hill, they would laugh him out of court and it would probably bring a defeat in the Democratic party in the upcoming elections, He would give absolutely no consideration to anything which could possibly result in graft or pork barrel activities. Any program for the relief of poverty must be designed to get right down to the grass roots out where the poverty actually exists and must be handled by existing Federal, State, and community organizations which are geared in this direction. He mentioned specifically the possibility of utilizing the Bureau of Public Roads and other similar Federal and State organizations. He said that if roads are to be built, they should be built into and out of poverty-stricken areas and to pro- vide access to schools and hospitals and such human needs activities and not, repeat not, for the improvement of major trunk lines and highways. He thought perhaps the people who were receiving this
13-00000 type of aid could be utilized in the construction of these roads where they would see the results of what they were doing and the purpose of it. He stated that any attempt to organize a new administrative entity to handle this matter would not even get off the ground before the year was out and would merely result in more Government people on the payroll and more bureaucracy. He directed an immediate reappraisal of his program for the relief of poverty and coming up with an entirely different concept for his approval. Mr. Staats and Mr. Murphy indicated they would follow through on this. 15, The foregoing covers all pertinent points to the best of my recollection. I shall write a separate memorandum of the tour President Johnson gave us of his ranch and with particular attention to the fact that he built and paid for every improvement on the place out of his own pocket, including the runway, the run- way lights, and the dam across the river. a | MSC

Morales, who was born in Arizona of Indian and Spanish parents and is bilingual in Spanish and English, former football player, arrived in Miami in October 1960 after spending two years .at the Havana Station. He appears to have done a unique CI job in organizing within the Frente, the future intelligence service for the new government of Cuba that the invasion force expected to install. He also organized two other groups. He did this with the help of a Chilean imstructor that was supplied by headquarters, and with’materials training) that WH/4/CI Section| sent down to hin. 2. The principal group were 39 selected, highly educated Cubans, who were trained as case officers to form the future intelligence service. They are known as the "AMOTS". After being _ trained they were employed by Morales in doing 4 series of highly important tasks for the good of the station. These were as follows: a. Penetration of the local anti-Castro organizations. bd. Penetration of the pro-Castro organization in Miami, the so called 26th of July organization. ce. Preparation of biographical information on all prominent persons in the Frente. d. Carding some 200,000 Cubans in the period of three e. A special section of the AMOTS monitored all radio transmissions coming from Cuba. This amounted to eight stations that were covered on a 24 hour a day basis. , u f. Screeing of all persons recruited for the grade Boyne (but this work first started in November 1960, and by that time 300 or 400 men had already gone to camp). This AMOT screening of the military trainees really amounted to a field check since the various cases were discussed with Cuban sources of information present in Miami. . foo nm oe a se of ae hecve]
13-00000 g- Mail censorship. All mail coming from the military camp in Guatemala was censored by this group before being released for transmittal to Cuba. h. Four of this’ were sent back to Cuba with instructions to report on CI targets; chiefly the secret service and the police. 3. The second group trained by Morales were 100 selected ~ Cubans who were given training as future CI officials and civil government officials. Of the 100 thus trained, 61 were sent to the camp in Guatemala for training with the brigade. They accompanied the brigade on the invasion, and of the 61 only two were lost, mine were caught and the rest got out, due to the circumstance that most of them were on the steamer Lake Charles which owing to the developments at the beaches did not land its troops. These men were given the job of penetrating inland as fast as possible with the troops and identiffing and seizing records and documents of the Castro government. Following that they were to set up the temporary civilian government of Cuba. This group were ¢ known as the AMFATS. The members of this group were brought back to Miami where they are now living privately. The third group were the AMCHEBRS, a group of approximately 100 older, nonpolitical individuals, who received training from Morales as a reserve in intelligence personnel. Eighty of these had been trained by April 1961 for eventual legal return. k, Morales stressed that POA's had been received on members of all three groups and that the AMOTS received tradecraft training far in excess of that received by the average Agency staff employee. 5. After the invasion the Frente leaders endeavoyd to change the AMOTS ‘into a political organization and remove the chief leaders of the AMOT group. Such a development had been anticipated by the base and prior to that action all files, the most valuable part of the AM organization. had been microfilmed (see my interviews with Simmonsfok more details. on this protective maneuver ). The chief AMOTS who were thus removed by the Cuban leaders are still. organized under Morales as a shadow intelligence organization. ._6. Personnel shortages. Morales accomplished all of the ‘foregoing with the aid of only two girls one a GS-9 analyst. He tried in vain for more than three months to get a junior case officer assigned, but in vain. This request was forwarded thro the CI Chief in WH/k. Morales tried to get one or both of who were in Miami on TDY, but the JOT office refused to release them tha on the ground that it would interfere with their training. Morales feels that these young officers would have learned more in ~2. jo? Seoul
13-00000 three months under him than they would learn in three years of formal training. As a result of being so short handed, Morales had to work about 14 hours a day, seven days a week. Otherwise, however, he received excellent support generally, both from Headquarters and the other sections of Miami Base. 7. As for suggestions for better operation in the future, Morales made two points. (a) the screening of military trainees should start at a much earlier point than was done this time; (b) more adequate number of personnel should be furnished. R. D. Shea

13-00000 ay . ‘ 5 June 1961 SUBJECT: Interview with| | Chief of WH/4's CI Section, 1 June 1961 (This memorandum should be read after Morales interview) 1. [ss a dedicated CI type having spent the last 11 years chiefly on CI matters largely under OTR auspices. He spent two years in | 1954 to 1956, setting up and training the CI Staff, apparently starting from scratch. He has been with OTR since then and came to WH/4' in mid-April 1960. He is about to be transferred to the WH Division Staff andhis replacement will be Louis Napoli who will head the new combined FI/CI Section of WH/4. He stressed that the charter of the new combined section will give CI the right to interfere in any operation. This will be spelled out explicitly, thus countering the difficulties that[| | had in dealing with the PM Section prior to the invasion. Bob Andrews will stay on for CI matters.and Seehafer will head the FI part both under Napoli. 2. AMOTS (future Cuban intelligence service trained by Morales at Miami). This idea started when Anderson of WH Division Staff told that he had al —s—s«d(CI: officer who was available for training Cubans. Drawing on his experience,| si drew the AMOT plan and prepared the training materials and sent them to Morales for execution. It was Morales who subsequently conceived the idea of training the AMFATS (future o stxiee2 and the AMCHEERS, a reserve intelligence corps consisting ’8 deren. These matters are discussed in detail in my memorandum on Morales. Morales also organized a group of former Cuban diplomats presently in Miami to have them available when @ new government is set up. Subsequent to the invasion the_AMOTS, have been substantially changed by Cardona. He has replaced the top _ top AMOTS by political appointees who have no skill in tradecraft. The top men thus fired had anticipated such a move, and, in addition to micro- filming 120,000 cards, they removed all cryptonyms and all memoranda of conversation between them and Morales with the result that the new service doesn't kmow the identity of. the AMOTS who are presently Cuba. The AMOTS initially numbered 96. The Miami Base now has VB Ohte 22 of them of whom d four are inside Cuba with 14 subsources; 3 of Of | nef them producing FI and CI reports. By December 1960 the AMOTS had 4 cat li produced 1, 800 intelligence reports and 750 radio monitor reports. b . 5 Car how. VRE A
13-00000 ww! 3. In dealing with the Miami Base L_|stuck strictly to the relationship between Headquarters and a foreign station. His command channel was, of course, via Chief of WH/4 to the Chief of Miami Base to Morales. ‘He and Morales understood each other perfectly and there was no ether obstacle of any sort in their i¢ collaboration. There was no second-guessing or double case offering in CI matters. 4. (____]and his section ran a number of CI ops directly from Headquarters. He referred to the following: a. A certain lady of easy virtue who had a vast acquaintance among the top Castro people. b. A who for eight years has worked for the Agency as a penetration in Communist | [jin various countries. ec. A certa | who has been living in ERS apes or | Unfortunately, an expected«Castro official appointment did not materialize and this operation has not proved to be of much value. a. A former U.S. negro citizen now in the Cuban service. e. Juan Orta, former chief of Castro's executive office, now out of office. 5. [gave me the attached copies of four basic documents. Tab A - WH/4 counterintelligence plan, June 1960 Tab B - Counterintelligence plan for an FRD security service, late August 1960 be? “er 2 e er Tab C - CI program for future project, 20 April 1961 - vee ° a-- Tab D - Counterintelligence assets, 29 April 1961 In addition, Morales gave me a copy of a dispatch summarizing Miami's CI assets currently in Guba, (Tab E). 6. Relations with PM Section: Lara Tepettons with the PM section seem to have been marked with a considerable amount of friction, perhaps more than always results from the resentment operators feel at the inhibiting influence of the CI man. Thus whenever a PM agent was lost, a CI man would analyse the files and draw a damage sheet showing what the agent knew, etc. | | showed me a large file containing about 50 of such cases. This work was made more difficult because the Pi people kept only very skimpy records. A CI representative, eo i
13-00000 : Al she luc! va tte also went over all incoming messages from agents to scrutinize tor the use of freedom signals. When the absence of such signalsws pointed out to PM they would sometimes claim that the agent had f merely forgotten them. CI was able to stop all cable traffic to t a 4 such agents when under suspicion. After a whi was ae delegated to be the CI contact with the PM people, and due to his oO quiet methods and competence he gained a fair share of their confidence and the work proceeded more smoothly. EL . 7-[____]and his section prepared a 225-page study“of Castro's intelligence organization. This document was distributed generally throughout the U.S. intelligence community, as were also some extensive studies on Cuban blodcwardens. They also issued CS/ CI information reports and{ gave a number of briefings to higher-ups. They were able to identify 14 provocative activities by the Cuban. services in the U.S., Dakar and Havana. They identified al las a Castro penetration _ agent in 1960. * This document contains the identities of 492 Castro "G-2 _™ gtaff officers. 8. From September 1960 to January 1961[ spent half of his time working on the case of the three ST ESCALATE members, i.e., the audio and development team which was arrested in Cuba and is still under arrest. If these men had checked im with the CI Branch before departure they would havesG&ieda not to go. [_____]regards this matter of the greatest potential danger to the Agency, e.g-, if _these men should be ¢ sent to to Moscow to be milked. 9. | _aesersbea the following difficulties he had had: a. Hissection was not fully staffed until October 1960, although he went to the greatest lengths to get additional people. He first had a machine rum made for a list of CI personnel having a knowledge of Spanish. He checked the records of the individuals thus disclosed. He sent the names thugselected to the WH/k _. personnel officer who made a great effort, but in no case was he able . to get_& man taken off bis present job. He feels that the DD/P should in the ure tell all his senior officers of the importance - of such g project so that the latter will cooperate when their ‘2 valuable/ be requested. After borrowing from covert training for two TDY trips, could not face going to| with a further request, an Stéad asked Jack Earman in the DCI's office G@ help him get for another trip.

"ve ll, Despite ,difficulties referred to above,[_____—+dy feel that the results of his section's work were very good, and that one indication of this is that the upper echelons of the Agency sent him many matters for handling that were not strictly of a CI nature; for instance, inquiries from the DCI, from Congress, etc. l2. In-cases where the CI Section discovered that an agent commmnicating by radio was not using hissafety signals, CI would help the PM or other section to handle that agent in subsequent communica- tions so that he would be kept alive. This sometimes required that requests by the agent for supplies be complied with, Im one case LUGLOG. was intent on preserving the man so that he could be used at the end for purposes of deception. The agent requested an air drop and it was decided to comply. [ | said that Gen. Cabell disclosed to the Cuban aircraft a crew that was to make the air drop that the agent was a double agent. Accordingly the crew did not even go near the drop, nor did PM Section advise until four days later that this had occured. The result was that the man was immediately taken off the air and had indications that he was shot. If had been advised earlier of the failure to make the drop, he could have tried by a suitable message to explain the omission. Sfew R. D. Shea 12 noe

A. Project Operational Plan B. Project Political Action Plan CG. Project Counterintelligence Plan D. Project Counterintelligence Budget for Fiscal Year 1961 III. GONCEPT OF OPERATI | It is essential that the Agency create an aggressive service for FRD-Project activities. Since there is no certainty that the leaders of the FRD will achieve and hold responsible positions in a new Govermment of Cuba, and since there is an everpresent threat that political or operational flaps may destroy the FRD as an effective Project instrument, it is essential that the Agency's role in creating an FRD security service be carried cut under cover of the BENLER-CARR group. It is also essential that the leaders as well as rank and file menbers of the FRD pay more than lip service to the requirements of an effective security apparatus, even though these requirements dictate a need for major changes in the modus operandi of individual members. To this end the BENDER-CARR group must direct the FRD to accept, in return for its support, controls and limitations which must be imposed by the security service if operational security is to be achieved. ‘The Agency's objectives in establishing and supporting a security service for the FRD are: A. To protect its operational interests in the FRD; and Be To acquire counterintelligence information through participation in FRD operational security activities. The security service of the FRD will have as its objectives: A. Sereeninz all personnel holding significant FRD positionsj B. ‘Screening new adherents to the FRD;
13-00000 C. Maintaining pertinent file information on FRD personnel} D. Maintaining physical seourity of FRD installations; E. Staffing FRD debriefing centers; Fr. Rnforeing personnel security regulations; G. Indootrinating FRD nenbers on personal security; H. Monitoring malcontents; and | | I. Acquiring both positive and counterintelligence information. To build a security. service for the FRD capable of attaining Agency and FRD objectives, it is necessary for the Agency: A. To supervise the selection, assesement and training of eight candidates; B. To identify and select secure office sites in Miami, New York, Washington and Mexico City, and to procure a secure eafehouse training site in Miami; . GC. To create an organization which can fulfill assigned seourity funetiona. D. To supervise the training of thirty-two additional candidates to staff the organization; E. To support the organization through the BENDER-CARR group by ' providing. sanitised record data, special training, financial backing, and, at need, operational facilities; and F. To supervise through the BENDER-CARR group the organization’ 8 day-to-day activities. To implenent the plan for an FRD security service, BENLER-CARR repre- sentatives in Mexico City, Miami, washington and New York will be briefed on the plan for an FRD security service. The Chief, FRD/Intel- ligence and Security Subcommittee, will be directed by BENDER to select seven officers to be processed for jobs with the service. Processing will include medical esumination, polygraph, and psychological assessment of the candidates. They will later be briefed on the objectives and functions of the security service by a representative of the BENLER-CARR group. They will be trained on-the-job by a Chilean ex-police officer who will be recommended to the FRO by the BENLER-CARR group. The training will cover subjects pertinent to the service's day~to~day
13-00000 rs a3 security responsibilities as spelled out in the organizational plen. The FRU security components in Mexico City, Washington and New York will be initially assigned one officer each fron the first group of eight candidates. The remaining five candidates will be assigned to . Miami. Of those candidates subsequently trained for the security service, two additional men will be assigned to Washington; six to New York; six to Mexico City; and eighteen to Miami. ORGANIZATION The organisational structure of the FRD security service and of the Agency's related support structure are outlined in Attachment "A"; the facilities and personnel required to staff and support these structures are discussed below? Ae Facilities 1. Seourity office sites in Mexico City, Miami, Washington and New York. (These will be selected by the Office of Security; the Office of Security will identify these sites to the BENDER-CARR group, which in turn will direct their use by appropriate FRD components. ) 2. A training site will be selected in Miami hy the Office of Seourity and identified to the BENDER-CARR group, which in turn will reccumend it to the Chief, FRD/Intelligence and Security Subcommittee. 3. One four-drawer safe will be acquired by the Office of Security for use in each office site in the above-named 4. Appropriate office supplies will be assembled by the FRD eomponent in each site. ‘Be Foreign Personne) 1. A Chilean police officer has been selected and recruited as training officer for the security service. The bENDER- CARR group will recommend him to the FRD for thie job as an ‘individual who, in its experience, is best suited for the | job, and as one who is most acceptable to the BENDER-CARA organization.
