                        CIA OPERATIONS  AGAINST CUBA PRIOR TO THE ASSASSINATION
                        OF PRESIDENT  JOHN  F.  KENNEDY ON 23 NOVEMBER 1963


               A.   INTRODUCTION

                    1.  Agency planning  and operations directed at Cuba during the latter

               part of 1959, 1960  and early 1961 were almost totally devoted to the

               development of the  paramilitary operation which culminated in the Bay of

               .Pigs invasion on 17 April 1961.  During this period, major efforts were.

               devoted to training  a paramilitary force, formation of a Cuban exile

               organization  in Miami to direct opposition activities and to provide

               future Cuban  leadership and a propaganda campaign designed to rally op-
               position to Castro  in Cuba and elsewhere in Latin America.

                    2.  Some of  the actions initiated during 1960-61 continued following

               the defeat of  the Agency supported Cuban brigade.  For example, prior to

               the break in diplomatic  relations between Cuba and the U.S. on 3 January
               1961, CIA maintained  a Station in Havana.  This Station recruited and

               trained intelligence  agents and procured and cached communications

               equipment to  form a staybehind net to provide intelligence on Cuba

               following the  break in diplomatic relations.  Following the Bay of Pigs

               defeat, this  net continued to function providing information on Cuba

               via  radio communication and Latin American diplomatic pouches.  Radio
