                                                            26 March 1963


               ADDITIONAL   NOTE  IN MY  MEMORANDUM OF DISCUSSION WITH THE
               PRESIDENT:

                      The President and I engaged in a brief discussion of the Soviet
               plans with respect to Cuba. He indicated that he once felt that the
               Soviets would withdraw all of their forces from Cuba, but that he had
               now reached the conclusion that the plan had changed. Bundy volunteered
               that they.at no time had said specifically that they were to withdraw all
               of their forces, in fact their particular wording was somewhat vague.
               McCone  stated that indicatorg were conflicting. On the one hand, certain
               information such a the rece-t intercept)and report of Castro's
               own statements would lead one to the- conclusion that a gradual.and
               continuing withdrawal would take place; that the Cubans were trained and
               became  proficient in operating advanced sophisticated Soviet equipment,
               This would take many months, probably the balance of the year and
               Castro welcomed this period of time because it would mean a continuing
               Soviet interest in Cuba, On the other hand, DCI pointed out that building
               of permanent installations and the arrival of undisclosed but apparently
               sophisticated equipment, although in small quantities, nevertheless
               important volume would indicate a conclusion that Soviets were there to
               stay, but perhaps on a somewhat reduced scale.
