1. This meeting Vas colled because the CD/P and Mr. Bnrnea vere sowhak
perturbed about the quality and tonA of the dr3ft of the Curn Itekbvr Paper. A
copy of this draft hid been sent to Xr. Bebleringer of the vbite flouse vho bad
also expreaeed hi disapipolotmnt in the draft.
1 2. The DD/P made the point that the Cuban White Paper should have the
moat poverful appeal that can be devised. He vent on to say that we are
primrily interested In getting rid of a Camwtist redine in Cuba and th-t it
Is really up to the Cubans to ebooes the proressive, liberal, forward-lookil
government they want. -1 as varied, the DU/P reaorked, that in an indirect
way the Cubans were writing for the AAerican unrket; that Is to say that they
1ij-ht still be under the Lreesion that the look which prevailed under the old
adIniatrution was still favored by some U.S. elements. Everything possible
should be done to convince Niro and members of the Revolutionary Council of the
contrar. in th a convection, Wosers. Blasell and BArnes wonjered out loud
rI wbether would not be boandlea,;-ed by his oum Veraocal erxvictloas in
makiners c case ou an presenbr. the current aizricaa viewpoint.
3. The sum total of the remarks of Meers. Stamula, Hunt, and Droller
a. The draft should not be lwooed upon as a really strict
indication of the opinions of the Revolutionary Council. The
Revolutionary Countil had been faced with tigbt deadlines azd
they have been presented with many additional problems inclulag
their trip to Guatemala, their relations to the military, etc.
Also, we said, it ahould be remembered that Niro did not care
for Ray and that the only reason he wae keeping up nesotiations
with Ray vas that be believed the 3tate Nepartactt (Bonsal and
Berle) were in favor of this. Mr. Etonulia pointed out that the
[] assignannt was a bit dellcate in view of the latters long
and faithful service with the VH bivision.
~.At the and of the meting kr. fltanuiis asked the fbi? whether a decision
on the 1'osquerra affair ha~d been reached. - r. Bissell soid that this activity
should be terujnated. Chief', 'dHD and rany others Intimately concerned with
this matter agreed that this would be the wisest course to take. He himself
felt that on balance this operation would be counter-proauctive.
