SECRET NO FORN DISSEN ~ 4 - CS-311/00345-64 NEEDS: a) MEXICO Given the importance of the situation in Mexico, for Cuba, basically because it fis an important way of contact with Latin America, it is NECESSARY to reinforce our job as far as its RELATIONS WITH. CUBA is concerned. This means that we are interested and need to intensify our work with the official organizations. from Mexico (Presidency. MINREX, Congress, etc.) having something to do with Cuban relations, so as to have the elements of judgment and information about the future of these relations and above all of the North American plans and pressures on MEXICO with regard to their relations with Cuba and the Mexican position tu that respect. Similarly, we are interested in second place in knowing about the situation among the political forces in MEXICO, especially. with regard to leftist forces and their role and importance individually. , ; : i And lastly, it is necessary, in our opinion, to develop an organized and methodical task, according to the guidelines and objectives of the plan, with the available sources of in- formation from ‘the Section or the Center in Mexico so as to use ‘them more rationaily. IT SHOULD BE POINTED OUT THAT IN THIS SECTION, AS WELL AS IN M-S, A TENDENCY TO OBTAIN INFORMA- TION FROM SOURCES IN CUBA IS NOTED, b) CENTRAL AMERICA In this regton it is necessary to emphasize the obtaine ing of information about plans of agrression in Cuba, espe- cially with regard to possibilities of collective action against Cuba. On the other hand, work should be strengthened with regard to the situation and plans of the national liberation movement in the region and in each country. An effort should be made to pet to know, completely, what the role and the position of every leftist [force is, since there are countries, like Nicaragua, where it is not known, due to lack of informa~ tion, what role each force is playing and which are their relations with us. We consider that we must establish con- tacts to work constantly and periodically with cach of the leftist forces in these countries. Only this way we will be able to overcome the deficiency. ec) The situation in these countries is very serious, from the standpoint of the information work. As we have said, we have no information about them, We consider that the first matter to solve is to know the sources trom which we can obtain information and at the same time establish contact with all the friendly forces in order to obtain information.

SECRET NO FORN DISSEM - 5- CS-311/00345-64 ANALYSIS ABOUT INFORMATION ON ENEMY ACTIVITIES WORK: BACKGROUND: About the information work with countries in the M-A Section with regard to information about counter-revolutionary= type and aggression plans we can point out, in general, its principal successes ard deficiencies. Through previous experience and the analysis of informa=- tion received from the countries of this Section concerning counter-revolutionary activities, it was confirmed once more that this tu the zune preferred by Imperialism for locating training camps for counter-revolutionary elements, getting to the point where this assumes scrious characteristics in certain places or specific zones. such as the case of the Péten zone: in Guatemala and Puerto Cabezas and the Maiz Is- lands in Nicaragua. From informacion about this type of activity we can point out that some was incomplete and fragmentary, observing in many cases the absolute lack of exploitation of a source; this fact meant from the standpoint of our work serious dif- ficulties, since this limited considerably our possibilities of indirect confirmation, that is, through other different sources, as well as a series of derivative difficulties ‘such as the lack of continuity In the information, Lack of con- firmation, lack of contact and guidance as to the source objectives, ete. Analyzing all these previous phenomena we can point eut a definite puideline with regard to our work for this Section during the forthcomin, year, this guideline would cover the following aspects that will be basic from the standpoint of aggression plans. 1. Location of training camps for Cuban mercenaries, conclusion as to the type of training they get and their number, as well as thelr resources, 2. Detection of enemy aggression plans through the . Armed Forces of Central American countries and through the so-much mentioned collective action, or something similar. 3. Location of operations bases for pirate launches and counter-revolutionary groups that will operate from nearby countries. This is directly related with the plans for penetrating the enemy. 4. Penetrate and have full information about enemy’s anti- guerrilla plans and its development. These would be the tasks to be developed during the year, accordingly, and following the general guidelines and objectives of the current work. SECRET NO FORN DISSEM fhe re
