                   CIA OPERATIONS AGAINST CUBA PRIOR TO THE ASSASSINATION
                   OF PRESIDENT JOHN  F. KENNEDY ON 23 NOVEMBER 1963


          A.   TNTRODUCTION

               1.  Agency planning and operations directed at Cuba during the latter

          part of 1959, 1960 and early 1961 were almost totally devoted to the

          development of the paramilitary operation which culminated in the Bay of

          Pigs invasion on 17 April 1961.  During this period, major efforts were

          devoted to training a paramilitary force, formation of a Cuban -exile

          organization in Miami to direct opposition activities and to provide
          future Cuban leadership and a propaganda campaign designed to rally op-

          position to Castro in Cuba and elsewhere in Latin America..
               2.  Some of the actions initiated during 1960-61 continued following

          the defeat of the Agency supported Cuban brigade. For example, prior to

          the break in diplomatic relations between Cuba and the U.S. on 3 January

          1961, CIA maintained .a Station in Havana. This Station recruited and
          trained intelligence agents and procured and cached communications

          equipment to form a staybehind net to provide intelligence on Cuba

          following the break in diplomatic relations.  Following the.Bay of Pigs

          defeat, this net continued to function providing information on Cuba

          via radio communication and Latin American diplomatic pouches. Radio
