MEMORANDUM FOR: Acting Director, Center for Policy

1. and I have been talking about the
need for a paper on Cu a's support for extremist .groups
around the world. We both agree that such a paper would
be useful for people at policy levels at State, DOD, and
the NSC who are involved in the current negotiating pro-
cess with the Cubans.
2. The paper we are proposing would focus on Latin
America, and would put into perspective the various report-
ing we continue to receive on this general subject. It
would try to answer the inevitable question of what the
Cubans are up to.
3. envisages the paper as an Inter-Agency
Memoran um in an effort to get the community on .board on
a subject about which differing opinions have surfaced in
the past. The paper itself probably will conclude that
despite a certain amount of revolutionary rhetoric, the
Cubans are providing only limited amounts of assistance
to extremist groups--mostly in Latin America. The paper
will, however, cover what we know about Cuban ties to
international terrorist groups such as the PLO.
4. will be the author of note. We
'expect to get a draft to y May 7, with dis-
semination to the community sometime around the middle
of the month.
