‘BRITISH HMBASSY, 5 : HAVANA. (9709/63) | Ce October 25, . 1965+ * You will have seen a copy of Iain Sutherland's letter 10321/63 of October 10 to me, about the effects of hurricane PLORA (not to J.I.Be). This letter is by way of an interim reply to it, drawing together the various sources of information on Flora which are now available. 2. The Cuban press has been ull of minor detail for the past week or so and will warrant study by the intelligence communities on both sides of the Atlantic. The main points have boen sent to the Department in Stephen Ecoles’ letters 9701/63 of October 11, 17 and 243 the lest of these enclosing 8 Summary of Castro's ’ veport on television. 3. . You will be receiving by this beg also, a Copy ‘of an on-the-spot appreciation by Michael Collins’ from Santiago. | he <A well-made and informative news film has been shown . ‘hore which is revealing both as to the damage caused by Plora and as to the quantity of amphibious vehicles with which the epee Cuban Army ard equipped. I believe it is this film which fo @ an I.T.N. news reporter (Miss Caroline McCullough) was given a | j i before she left: if it is it is well worth close study. 5. There may be another film taken by Reuters' iecal reporter whith we think may have boen suugeled out of tha country, but we are not sure. If it was got out successfully 4% will probably have ended up at Reuters, and you may care to ask for it to be made aveilabie. 0... 1 6e As Sutherland said in his letter wider reference, it |. < "ll w821 take some time before enough evidence is collected to vcs . > | meke a veally useful assessment on the economic effects. iY eee | Bat we have made a first attempt, which appears as an Annex oN to this letver. — .
