CIA REPORT ON LATIN AMERICA
FOR YOUR INFORMATION--E
A MONTEVIDEO CORRESPONDENT'S DISPATCH IN SPANISH TO PRENSA
LATINA, HAVANA, AT 1440 GMT ON 9 NOV 1964 REPORTS THAT THE MONTEVIDEO
NEWSPAPER EPOCA HAS PUBLISHED A DISPATCH FROM WASHINGTON BY LEOPOLDO
ARAGON REPORTING ON A CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY REPORT WHICH
ALLEGEDLY EXPRESSES AN OPINION ABOUT "ANTI
IMPERIALIST FORCES
IN THE LATIN AMERICAN COUNTRIES." THE ARTICLE DESCRIBES THE REPORT
AS A 45-PAGE DOCUMENT WRITTEN BY AGENT WILLARD MATTHIAS.,OF
CIA'S NATIONAL ESTIMATES BOARD. IT IS ALLEGEDLY ENDORSED BY BOARD
PRESIDENT SHERMAN KENT AND MARKED "FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY."
THE DISPATCH SAYS THAT THIS IS POSSIBLY THE FIRST TIME THAT
A FOREIGN JOURNALIST HAS HAD ACCESS TO SUCH A DOCUMENT. ACCORDING
TO THE DISPATCH, THE CIA REPORT ATTRIBUTES INSTABILITY IN
LATIN AMERICA NOT TO COMMUNIST INFILTRATION, BUT TO ALMOST
"EXCLUSIVELY NATIVE CAUSES AND POLITICAL FORCES." IT MAKES
A DISTINCTION BETWEEN CASTROITE AND COMMUNIST MOVEMENTS,
AND SAYS THAT THE CASTROITE MOVEMENTS HAVE GREATER APPEAL TO EPOCA'S
CORRESPC'NDENT, WITH THE PREDICTION THAT THE LATIN AMERICAN SCENE
CONTINUE TO BE CHARACTERIZED BY PLOTS AND COUNTER-PLOTS,
POLITICAL WAR, AND TERRORISM, AND THAT THE PRESENCE OF A COMMUNIST
STATE IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE BACKED BY THE SOVIET UNION
CONTINUES TO ENDANGER U.S. INTERESTS THROUGHOUT THE CONTINENT,
THEREBY COMPLICATING THE PROBLEMS OF U.S. DIPLOMACY.
