                                 1.  On 22 October I called            at the Caribbean Desk
                             to ask him what had happened .to  he draft dispatch which Ve had
                             forwarded several weeks bX.  46 001. King retarding, the above-
                             subject. After mach acurry.  arqud he called back on 23 October
                             to say that he had, found tM the draft dispatch had come fran
                             Col. King' s office and that they bad decided the moment VS'
                             inopportune to send-Tichbork to Cuba. I pointed out in no uncertain
                             terms that I thought they were. all vet, that the situation in Cuba
                             was provinj more delicate day by day, that as far as I knew our
                             intelligence was not too good in Cuba and that it did not appear to
                             me, from where I sat that Station Esvana was making any great
                             strides forward in trying to identify the opposition to -Castro. I
                             further poiated our that the idea bad been , ' in principli
                             by Col. King before we ever drew up q    draft dispatch. -I vent an
                                       tb (q3                                      P) end-
                            to re-count the succent we had   X            resonsee (P) and
                            that in view er he  ea.Aeh6           invlveina          SP~hr
                            it vould be a good idea to have smeone take an          look at
                            the politiqal situation in Cuba before the time 6ame for the project
                            to be approved. I went on furthei to say that he could cheek with the
                                      as regards to the job that Perlongo had done gnd that we
                            hWa arouh   transcript of the debriefing which, with t      e
                            permission, I would make available -to him.       .A.
                                 2.  Ed Dann secured              pqmission  and sent a
                            copy at the transcript ver to            on 23 October. O
                            26 October Mr          called   sa   tat  he had misnderstood our
                            original prepcisaand that he was all in favor at It since reading
                            the transcript, that they had revised the draft dispath,. beefing it
                            up, and would like to send it over for my coordination. I coordinated
                            on the dispatch. We should hear something reasonably soon.
