MEMORANDUM FOR: See Distribution
FROM: Robert D. Vickers, Jr.
National Intelligence Officer for Latin America
SUBJECT: Agenda for February 1986 Latin America
Warning and Forecast Meeting
1. The February 1986 Warning Meeting for Latin America will be held
on Wednesday, 19 February 1986, at 1015 hours in Room 7 E 32,
CIA Headquarters. Invited agencies and components should please keep
their representatives to a necessary minimum because of space limitations.
2. We intend to discuss the following countries/topics:
Haiti, Nicaragua, and Libyan support to revolutionary groups in
Latin America.
Haiti
With the collapse of the Duvalier government, several radical
leftist exile groups are reported to be trying to return to Haiti. Some
have ties to Cuba, Libya, and the PLO. What is the level of their
capabilities and do they pose a short- or long-term threat to the
government? How extensive is the external support for such an
undertaking? Are there any indications of cooperation among the various
groups involved? (CIA/ALA - 30 minutes)
Nicaragua
Opposition political parties, including those of the Nicaraguan
Democratic Coordinator (CDN), appear to have lost some of their
willingness to confront the Sandinistas after several months of
increasing harassment, arrests, and threats. The political opposition
shows more caution than it has in the past. Disagreements among leaders
are increasing, and the chances for any meaningful unified action seem to
be receding. Has the political opposition been intimidated to the point
where it virtually has been eliminated as a significant participant? Is
anything likely to change the current trend of decreasing activity and
increasing backbiting? (CIA/ALA - 30 minutes)
