The Director of Central Intelligence
Washington. D.C. 20505
National Intelligence Council
SC 8450/87
22 December 1987
MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
VIA: National Intelligence Officer for Warning,
FROM:
Acting National Intelligence Officer for
Latin America
SUBJECT: Latin America Warning and Forecast Meeting
December 1987
1. The following items were discussed at the Latin America Warning
and Forecast Meeting on 16 December 1987.
2. Nicaragua
The insurgents continue to maintain the tactical initiative and
have sustained relatively high levels of combat activity, despite the
threat of a cut-off in US military assistance. Morale reportedly remains
high and recruitments are up. We believe that without further US
military assistance the rebels could sustain their current level of
operations for three to six months, depending on the aerial rpcunnlv
system and how much materiel is cached inside Nicaragua.
With the dry season Sandinista activity along the Honduran
border has increased, but we do not believe a large-scale incursion is
likely during the next month or so.
