104-10232-10003 JFK Assassination Records Archives 1 (11/19/1961)

handle is hein.jfk/jfkarch17772 and id is 1 raw text is: 104-10232-10003 19 October 1961 MEMORANDUM FOR Colonel Johnson VIA: Mr. Ellis SUBJECT Guidance re: Dr. Miro CARDONA REFERENCE Your Memorandum for the Record of 10 October 1961, 1. In your discussion with State and MIRO it might be wise, for security reasons, to assume they have little specific knowledge of our operations and certainly of specific individuals who have some conwection with C.I.A. For example, when they speak of Conte Aguero, it has gone too far for us to deny 2n relationship, but we should firmly insist C.I.A. is not directly in touch with Conte. 2. Realizing the difficult handling problem you have, I am putting down my own reactions to some of the parts I your memo, which may, I hope, be of some assistance. 3. Regarding your paragraph 2, item a, I do not believe we should( for security reasons alonel reveal to Miro or State our operations in this area. Much of the time when they raise issues like this they are simply guessing and fishing. Frequently their guesses on our assets are very eroneous. Usually, their forays can be countered by saying we agree that the propaganda lines should be discussed or they should tell us what they think the line abould be and we will con.rent If we disagree. In short, we are willing to covertly try to support them, but we are not obligated to reveal to State or MIRO our specific operations and personnel, which should be in a normal situation clandestine. Accordingly, I would suggest that you encourage the CRC toward diverting some of the million dollars the White House promised them into forming a functioning propaganda commission and suggest they then tell us what they are doing and plan to do, so that if we have assets and approvals from our people we will be in a position to coordinate our efforts with theirs. 4. Regarding your paragraph 2,b, these seem in general sound enough. Tell him- to keep us advised as to what he proposes to do with his funds in this field. Surely he doesn't feel he is giving us orders as to what we should do here in our country. SECRET
