OPERATION MONGOOSE

Main Pointe to Consider

26 @ctober 1962

What le the Policy Objective? We need a sharp focus on

exactly what we hope to get from Mongoose now. This will determine

how best to employ these unique U.S. resourced - either to support

V.S. military operations or directly to commit against the Communit

regime immediately..

Is the end objective the removal of the Gastro/Communist

regime or to bring it to its kneen? Should Mongoose help generate

a popular revolt with the probable need for overt U.s. military help

as the regime moves in to crush it? Or, is the aim that of maximum

harasement, to make Cuba a maximum burden for the Bloc?

Undoubtedly, most people in the world now expect ue to move

towarde removing the Castro/Communat regime. Certainly the

Cubans in estle and innide Cuba, who are the main covert andeta el

ClA, now expect this polley goal so the price of rialing their livee.
