MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
SUBJECT: High-Level Coverage of Cuba
1. In accordance with your instructions of 27 September,
I am continuing to review coverage of the important targets in Cuba,
giving particular attention to targets that have remained uncovered
for 14 days.
2. The present situation shows that Cabanas has not
been covered in 14 days and that Guantanamo and Holguin have now
remained uncovered for 13 days. The mission flown yesterday
covered the western half of the island and could conceivably have
picked up Cabanas.
3. DIA advises that today's mission was cancelled
because of weather but that one is still planned for Sunday with
priority being given to the eastern end of the island, to include
Guantanamo and Holguin. This flight will not be undertaken unless
weather predictions show the possibility of 50 percent cloud free
and present forecasts are not optimistic. However, as an internal
check of CIA has not uncovered any recent information suggesting
ominous activities at any of the three targets, I see no reason to
depart from this plan for Sunday.
4. I shall review the 14-day picture, the week-end
coverage, the weather prediction and the intelligence needs on
4 November and report if any factor dictates the _..eed for extraor-
dinary action.
