FORCES TO COMBAT'US INFLUENCE, THERE WAS SOME DIVERGENCE OF OPINION
ON WHO SHOULD BE INVITED TO THE CONFERENCE NEXT YEAR. THE CUBANS
INSISTED THAT CONSIDERATION BE GIVEN TO OTHER LEFTIST, NON-COMMUNIST
GROUPS BUT THE OTHER REPRESENTATIVES AT THE MEETING PLAN TO INVITE
ONLY COMMUNIST PARTIES.
THE INFORMATION IN THIS REPORT IS SUPPORTED BY A SPEECH MADE
ON OCTOBER 21 BY ARMANDO HART', A MEMBER OF THE CUBAN COMMUNIST
PARTY'S EIGHT-MAN POLITICAL BUREAU. HART.IMPLIED THAT,CUBA WAS
WILLING TO SERVE AS THE HOST FOR A MEETING OF THE CONTINGENT'S
MARXIST-LENINISTS AND OTHER LEFTISTS "TO DRAFT AND IMPLEMENT THE
POINTS OF A LONG-RANGE REVOLUTIONARY STRATEGY" TO COUNTER AND
UNDERMINE US INFLUENCE IN LATIN AMERICA, HIS SPEECH LEFT NO DOUBT
THAT DESPITE HAVANA'S INTENTION TO EFFECT A BILATERAL RECONCILIATION
WITH THE US, THE CASTRO REGIME WILL CONTINUE TO PURSUE ITS LON.
RANGE STRATEGY OF DRIVING A WEDGE BETWEEN THE US AND LATIN AMER
EVEN IF THERE IS AN IMPROVEMENT IN THE STATUS QUO BETWEEN WA?!NGTON
AND HAVANA, THE CUBANS WILL PERSIST IN THEIR ATTEMPTS TO DESTROY
THE OAS, FORM A NEW REGIONAL ORGANIZATION OF LATIN MAMG3ERICAN AND
CARIBBEAN STATES, AND, THROUGH A UNIFIED BUAPPROACH, FORCE THE
REGION'S DEMANDS ON THE US. THE CONFERENCE SCHEDULED FOR NEXT
SPRING WILL'BE A MAJOR STEP IN HAVANA'S EFFORTS TO ACHIEVE THAT
UNITY. E2 IMPDET?d
