Doc IID: 6598271 44USC2107(5)(g)(2)(D) (iii) CUBAN AGENT ACTIVITY IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE 1959-31 DEE ph 1974 ‘ Cuba used agents for intelligence and subversion in, ‘North, Central; and South America; Africa; and Asia. In the Western Hemisphere during the early sixties, diplomatic cover became less available to the Cubans, and by spring of 1962, : Cuba had diplomatic relations with only one-third of' the Latin Americay countries. Cuba's interest in fomenting discord and promoting revolu-! tion obviously grew as she became more isolated officially from the rest of the hemisphere, and the Cuban General Directorate of Intelli- gence (DGI) inevitably increased its reliance on illegal/clandestine agents. By the time of the Cuban "missile crisis" in October 1962, Cuba was known to be By the end of 1964, Cuba enjoyed formal relations in the hemisphere with only Canada, Mexico, Jamaica, and the Umited Nations in New York.

REN Ne pen Ss IGT Mire ! EONS § me Doe ID: 6598271 ANY MATERIAL RELEVANT TO THE ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT KENNEDY OR ANY INVESTIGATION INTO THE ASSASSINATION. We have reviewed the Cuban materials previously compiled to respond to SSCI and Church Committee hearings. The only information regarding the KENNEDY assassination which surfaced might be termed reactive; that is, it reflects some of the reactions of the Cuban government to the assassination. Army and Navy elements in Eastern Cuba were placed on alert status on 22 November, apparently in reaction to news of the President's.death. This action was probably a reflection of the Cuban government's paranoia over a possible military action against Cuba, possibly originating from the U. S. Navy Base at Guantanamo. That the Cubans were sensitive to suggestions that they might be implicated in the KENNEDY assassination is very evident in the following 25 November press release from the Cuban Foreign Ministry: "With relation to the information published today((25 November) ) in the newspaper EXCELSIOR in Mexico City, affirming that LEE HARVEY OSWALD had requested a transit visa for travel to the Soviet Union at the Cuban Consulate in Mexico in September, the Cuban Government requested information from the officials of our Consulate in that city confirming that it is certain that Mr. LEE HARVEY OSWALD requested the transit visa for travel to the Soviet Union on 27 September in the said consulate. "On being informed by the consular officials that their office could not grant such a visa without the authorization of the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Relations, which likewise would not grant it if it was not previously authorized by the country of destination, Mr. Oswald left the Consulate visibly disgusted. "The said visa was never granted. "This detail, in connection with the other circumstances that surrounds the facts, confirm our suspicion that the assassination of KENNEDY was a provocation against world peace, perfectly and thoroughly planned by the most reactionary sectors of the United States. "Tt is evident that these sectors planned beforehand to involve Cuba and the Soviet Union in these deeds. "The inconceivable and inexplicable impunity with which an individual of known penal antecedents assassinated OSWALD, the principal accused of the assassination of President KENNEDY, in the presence of the police themselves and in the basement ofa prison, demonstrates in a scandalous and indisputable manner that the powerful reactionary political forces within the United States are making use of all their resources and influences in order to conceal those who master-minded KENNEDY's assassination, and the true motives for it.

It is absurd that the political authorities and the prosecuting attorney of Dallas have declared that the case is closed when hardly 48 hours have passed since a deed of so great a result as the assassination of the President of the United States."
