THE PRESIDENT'S INTELLIGENCE CHECKLIST--20 MARCH 1963
1. CUBA:
A.
50X1
PHOTOGRAPHY SHOW NO UNUSUAL ACTIVITY BY SOVI2X1
FORCES IN CUBA.
B. WE NOW BELIEVE SUNDAY NIGHT'S RAID ON ISABELA DE SAGUA,
TO HAVE BEEN PRIMARILY THE WORK OF THE SECOND FRONT OF ESCAMBRAY
OPERATING FROM A NON-US BASE.
THIS SORT OF ACTIVITY WILL PROBABLY BECOME INCREASINGLY FREQUENT,

DETECTION.
D. MOSCOW HAS SO FAR SAID ONLY THAT THE RAID WAS A PROVO-

SPECIFIC BUT HAS MADE NO FURTHER REFERENCES TO ANY KILLED OR
WOUNDED.

3. GUATEMALA:
A. THE GOVERNMENT IS PLAYING UP WHAT APPEAR TO BE MANU?
FACTURED ACCOUNTS OF A VAST CASTRO?COMMUNIST CONSPIRACY TO OVER?
THROW THE YDIGORAS REGIME.

POSITION IN ADOULA'S GOVERNMENT, HE IS WAITING FOR AN OFFICIAL
INVITATION WHICH IS NOW BEING ARRANGED BY UN OFFICIALS.

GROUND EQUIPMENT AND FOR TRAINING OF IRAQI PERSONNEL.

BEEN BROUGHT CLOSE TO THE BREAKING POINT OVER A NEW RASH OF IN-
CIDENTS INVOLVING ASYLEES AT THE URUGUAYAN EMBASSY IN HAVANA.

BAYAR WILL SOON BE GIVEN A PAROLE ON MEDICAL GROUNDS. HIS

TO FREE SOME ONE HUNDRED POLITICAL PRISONER.
