                          MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, Wi4-4

                          ,_HROUGH:             Chief, WH Division

                          SUBJECT:              Draft Memorandum,  dated 26,October
                                                 1961 (attached)


                               1. I have no real quarrel with the attached document, but
                         I would hope that we would follow the realistic and specific
                         position adopted by Chief, WH -4 at the State Department meeting
                         on 26 October. In other words, we have four major points
                         which need settling with Miro according to an agreed upon line.
                         In addition, we need to find out what other complaints Miro has
                         and try to work out solutions acceptable to both sides. Finally,
                         we must establish a working relationship between Wendell Johnson
                         and-Miro through which we can attempt to persuade Miro of the
                         need of reconstituting his efforts in order to undertake a more
                         constructive program thati his present purely administrative one.
                         In the meantime here in Washington we should be reexamining
                         the whole question of how to deal with Cuban exiles with the
                         thought that we may be able to present recommendations for a
                         change in the present policy position. On this last point I have
                         talked to Sherman Kent 's office and hope in the near future to
                         receive a report advising what the estimators think they can
                         contribute on these last issues. At that time we can also get a
                         time schedule,

                              2. I repeat, however, that for the moment let us con-
                        centrate ontre major problems with hiro, eliminate the ambi-
                        guities which have existed between ourselves, State and the White
                        House and try to obtain Miro's confidence in order to be more
                        persuasive with him in the future.
