                    This memorandum  sets forth.information concerning the

           conduct of a  series of interlocking non-violent political action

           operations against  the Cuban government, its internal coalition

           and its alliance with  the .Soviet Union mounted in 1963.

                 2. Objectives

                     Pursuant to instructions from the 303 Committee of the

           Kennedy Administration  the CIA established among its objectives

           against Fidel  Castro's Cuba bovemof fragmentingits  governing

           coalition  and of exacerbatin gits relations with the USSR.

           This decision  was taken prior to the October 19.62 Missile Crisis.

           As a result  of thq decision a number of non-violent operations

           were carried  out.  Those pertaining to the Teresa Proenza Proenza

           case  are set out below.

                -3. -On 3 April 1963 a set of spurious documents falsely

           ascribed  to a disaffected CIA agent in Mexico were passed    :

                                   to the Cuban Embassy in Mexico City.

           The  documents made it apparent that the Cuban Vice Minister of

           Defense,  a highly placed and violent Moscow-line Communist who

           had  been in Moscow- when the missile build-up was planned in

           early  1962, was actually a CIA agent who had betrayed the build-up.
