Cuba
1. Deputy Prime Minister Carlos Rafael
Rodriguez has told Le sonde (Tab A):
~-- that there is "no xevalutionary
process in Latin America leading
to any great changes similar
to those which have taken place
in Cuba...";
-- that the lifting of the blockade
is an essential first step to
US-Cuban normalization, but that
this "could comprise various
phases and assume various forms..
and
State Dept. review completed
that~at Quito the U.S. "eschewed'
its historic responsibility by
abstaining, thus avoiding giving
an impression that it was trying
to exert pressure..." We thought
there were 14 votes, he says;
the U.S. "would have preferred
to see the Latin American countries
compel the U.S. to change its
attitude toward Cuba..."
