                     MEMORAN   D UM FOR  TILE RECORD

                     SUBJECT:   Planning for JMATE Activities



                        1.  Mr. Esterline,  C/WH/OPS,  'stated 8 June 1961 that the Special
                    Group had met on that date and, in addition to the Nicaraguan paper, had
                    considered the paper prepared by Branch 4 on 7 June, entitled: Policy
                    Decisions Required for Agency Relationships with the CRC and Oth
                    Cuban Extic Grotpq.  The decision of the Special Group was to negotiate
                    this matter with State and bring the subject back to the Group later,

                        2. Mr.  Esterline stated that he had discussed this matter with Mr.
                   Bissell who would like to have by next Monday night, 12 June, a re-write
                   of the paper of 7 June. Mr. Esterline discussed the re-write at some
                   Ikngth. Bilcally  what Mr. Dissell apparently wants is a memorandum
                   forwarding three or perhaps four individual memoranda covering the
                   same  three subjects which we presented before plus perhaps Swan -Island.
                   Mr. Bissell wants it spelled out more clearly why a major part or all of
                   the support to the respective activities must be overt. In the event that
                   we consider, which we probably should, all the pros and cons in this
                   matter, we should spell out who the funds come from, the delicate point
                   of if the funds coric from the Agency, should the Agency then have a re-
                   view responsibility over the Department of State in its distribution of
                   said funds. On the other hand, if we do not have a review function, then
                   we must be,. In writing, relieved of responsibility once we have turned
                   over said funds. This, of course, will bring out the basic inconsistency
                   in the Agency's being involved.

                      3.  Mr. Bissell said that he had looked at our budget again and was
                  not satisfied with it, and accordingly it would have to be rewritten -- his
                  main objection being that he does not want the items for support of the CRC
                  and related entities mentioned in the preceding paragraph included in said
                  budget. He also commented  that in our presentation, presumably referring
                  to the presentation of paragraph 2 above of the budget of the CRC, he did
                  not want a breakdown of FRD items, but rather one whole budget for the CRC.
