                                  1.  On 22 October I called     aZ the Caribbean Desk
                             to ask hin what had hapened     a       s alpatch which we had
                             forwarded several weeks b    tf 46 ol. King regarding, the above
                             subject. After mach acurryW  aroud  he called back on 23 October
                             to say that he had, found tM -e @raft dispatch had come fron
                             Col. King' s office and that they bad decided the moment up
                             inopportune to send-Tichbork to Cuba. I pointed out in no uncertain
                             terms that I thought they were. all vet, that the situation in Cuba
                             was provinj more delicate day by day, that as far as I knew our
                             intelligence was not too good in Cuba and that it did not appear to
                             me, from where I sat that Station Esvana was making any great
                             strides forward in trying to identify the opposition to -Castro. I
                             further poiated our. that the idea had been , ' in principli
                             by Col. King before we ever drew up    e draft dispatch. .I vent an
                             to re-count the succes we had ha         t     ron     (P) and-
                             that in view e          e                     in- Project JS1PAThOL
                             it would be a good idea to have soeone take an JA  4    look at
                             the politiqal situation in Cuba before the time 6ame for the project
                             to be approved. I went on furthei to say that he could check wit the
                                      1as regards to the job that Perlongo had don adthat we
                            ha ir     6 transcript of the debriefing which, with te
                            I permission, I would make available -to him.
                                 2.  Ed Dn   see                   pgnission  and sent a
                             copy at the transcript ver to Mr        on  23 October. O
                             26 October Mr         celled 4t 6i      e  had misunderstood our
                             original propi  aaht he was all in favor at it since   reading
                             the transcript, that they had revised the draft dispatb,. beefing it
                             up, and would like to send it over for my coordination. I coordinated
                             on the dispatch. We should hear something reasonaby soAon
