SUBJECT: Grenada Documents - Talking Points for the
DCI's Meeting with Chairman, NSC
1. Since the receipt at DIA of the first documents, an interagency team
has been exploiting them, extracting what is of immediate interest as leads
for follow-up interviews with former members of the army, of the New Jewel
Movement, for public diplomacy, for a security assessment on Grenada, and for
miscellaneous intelligence purposes. Another batch of 3,000 pounds of
documents has just arrived in Washington, and these too are being examined and
inventoried. There are more documents to be located, processed, and
examined. For this reason, it would be foolish to set arbitrary deadlines for
the completion of the work outlined below.
2. DDI has undertaken to do a comprehensive study with the working
title, GRENADA: The Captured Documents, which is to cover the Cuban/Soviet
role in Grenada as well as the rise an fall of the New Jewel Movement.
(Persons undertaking this study will be alert for evidence of the involvement
of North Koreans, Libyans, etc., as well.)
4. An Interagency Intelligence Assessment was done on 10 November at the
request of Assistant Secretary Motley: GRENADA: The Security Threat.
Whether it is practical to do another analysis depends less on the analysis of
documents than on the development of information from elsewhere, as well as on
developments in Grenada itself over the next weeks or months.
5. It seems mong the persons interviewed
are some who will be willing 'to give in-depth
interviews to our analysts later on to fill out information we get from the
documents. This would considerably increase the value of the studies we
intend to. prepare.
6. We are exploring with DIA and other agencies what studies, of either
community or specific departmental interest, they will be producing based on
these documents.
