                  1.  This meeting Vas colled becauae the CD/P and Mr. Bnrnea vere sowhat
             perturbed about the quality and tone of the dr3ft of the Curn  Itekbvr Paper. A
             copy of this draft hid been sent to Xr. Bebleringer of the vbite flouse vho bad
             also expreaeed his disapipolotmnt in the draft.

         1        2.  The DD/P made the point that the Cuban White Paper should have the
             moat poverful appeal that can be devised. He vent on to say that we are
             primrily  interested In getting rid of a Camwtist redine in Cuba and th-t it
             Is really up to the Cubans to ebooes the proressive, liberal, forward-lookil
             government they want.  -1 as varied, the DU/P reaorked, that in an indirect
             way the Cubans were writing for the American unrket; that Is to say that they
             1ij-ht still be under the Lreesion that the look which prevailed under the old
             adIniatrution was still favored by some U.S. elements. Everything possible
             should be done to convince Niro and members of the Revolutionary Council of the
             contrary. In tbie convection, Wosers. Blosell and BArnes wonjared out loud
                 :0:ether    would not be bandlea,;-ed by his oum vera~ic~vc~~i
            makine   co nvie    case Dvban presenr.  the current  aizricaa viewpoint.

                 3. The  sum total of the remarks of Meers. Stamula,  Hunt, and Droller


                    a.  The draft should not be lwooed upon as a really strict
                indication of the opinions of the Revolutionary Council. The
                Revolutionary Countil had been faced with tigbt dcaidlines azd
                they have been presented with many additional probles inclulamg
                their trip to Guatemala, their relations to the military, etc.
                Also, we said, it ahould be remembered that Niro did not care
                for Ray and that the only reason he wae keeping up nesotiations
                with Ray vas that be believed the 3tate Departaert (Bonsal and
                Berle) were in favor of this.  Mr. Etoaulia pointed out that the
              7;    asignment   was a bit dellcate in view of the latters long
                   faithful service with  the VH bivision.
                 ~.At the and of the meting  kr. fltanuiis asked the fbi? whether a decision
          on the 1'osquerra affair had been reached. - r. Bisell soid that this activity
          should be teruinated.  Chief', 'dHD and rany others Intimately concerned with
          this matter agreed that this would be the wisest course to take. He himelf
          felt that on balance this operation would be counter-proauctive.
