This means that we are interested and need tu intensify our work with the official organizations from Mexico (Presidency, KINREX, 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 ubove all of the Korth American plans and MEXICO with regard to their relations with Cuba Similarly, we-are interested in secend place in knowing . about the situation among the pulitical forces in MEXICO, : especially with regard to leftist forces and their role and impor tance individually. _ And lastly, it ts 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 rationally. 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 region it is necessary to emphasize the obtain- ing of information about plans ofaprression 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 wet 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 each 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 from which we can obtain information and at the samc time establish contact with all the friendly forces in order to obtain information.

SECRET NQ FORN DISSEM ‘.~ § ~ CS-311/00345-64 ANALYSIS ABOUT INFORMATION ON ENEMY ACTIVITIES WORK: ‘ BACKGROUND: About the dnfermation work with countries in the M-A Section with regard tuo information about counter-revolutionary- type andapwression plans we can paint out, in general, ite principal successes and deficiencies, . nae Through previous experience and the analysis of informa- tion’ received from tho -countrics of this Section concerning — counter-revolutionary activities, it was confirmed once more that this is the zone preferred by Imperialism for locating training camps for counter-revelutionary clements, getting to the point where this assumes serious characteristics in cettain places or specific zones, such as the case of the Peten zone in Guatemala and Puerto_Cabegas and the Maiz Is- lands in Nicasagua. From informatiun about this type of activity we can point out that some was incomplete and fragmentary, obacrving in many cases the absolute lack of exploitation of a source; _ } this fact meant from the standpoint of our work serious dif- p 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 ell these previous phenomena we can point out a definite guideline with regard to our work for this Section during the forthcoming year, this guideline would cover the following aspects that will be basic from the standpoint of aggression plans. 1. Location of tralning camps for Cuban mercenaries, conclusion as to the type of training they get and their number, as well as their 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
