SUBJECT: Narcotics Briefing for Senator Lawton Chiles (D-FL)
Senator Chiles was particularly interested in a 3 August NID item
concerning Cuban involvement in narcotics trafficking which he had been shown
dust prior to the briefing. In this regard, he voiced the opinion that it
would be most useful if the Intelligence Community could find ways of
satisfying such information so that it could be made public. The briefers
noted that the multiplicity of intelligence sources in the area of South
Florida could make sanitization of this sort of material relatively easy in
instances where policy objectives could be served.
