The United States Government broke diplomatic relations with
Cuba on January 3, 1961. The last of the 89 members of the U. S.
Emnbassy Staff returned to the United States a wee': later. Unless
action is taken immediately, these 89 staff members will be
reassigned by their respective agencies.
These professionals are thoroughly lccnowled;eable of the entire
Cuban program and have many close, informative, friends who are
influential among the 120,000 anti-Castro Cubans now in Florida,
and many others still in Cuba. select group from this valuable
team, attached either to the U. S. Tsrmiigration Off J.ce in Miami, or
to the Tracy Voorhees Refugee Committee in Weshin,_,ton, could (1)
make an important contribution toward the developlent of future
plans for Cuba; (2) serve as an effective liaison between their
reestablished Cuban contacts and U. S. Government agencies; and,
(3) become the nucleus of a staff of experts to return to Cuba
when the situation warrants such action.
In the interest of preventing the dissolution of this team
of knowledgeable experts who have recently returned from Cuba,
it is recommended that the reassignment of personnel in this cat-
egory who are under your jurisdiction be deferred pending a decision
in the formation of such a stand-by team. Similar action has been
directed by me regarding military personnel concerned.
ncerely,
Honorable Allen W. Dulles
