104-10315-10015 JFK Assassination Records Archives 1 (9/7/1961)

handle is hein.jfk/jfkarch47734 and id is 1 raw text is: 104-10315-10015 OP SECET 7 September 1961 MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD SUBJECT: Consideration of the Cuban Matter by the j412 Special Group 1. Attached are Mr detailed notes made while reading the minutes of the Special Group yesterday. The 12 pp. paper that WH/ submitted to the Taylor Cmmittee, with two appendices, is also attached in order to facilitate study of the -matter. That paper purported to quote the minutes only with reference to the strike force concept. (It should be replaced in the two WH/4 bound volumes of papers furnished the Taylor Committee, at Part FF.) 2. I call attention to the following new matters, which suggests a number of points that should be reflected in my draft report of 31 August 1961: a. Parrott was the Assistant to DD/P for Executive Branch Matters (DD/P/EBM). He not only acted as secretary of Special Group, and briefed the DCI beforehand, but took an active role in the discussions, at least from time to time, i.e., at meetings of 8/11, 9/1, 9/8 and 11/16. This introduces still another non-operator echelon in the decision-making, between DCI and Chief, WH/4.. b. These minutes show the extremely detailed reporting by CIA to the Special Group and requests for approval of individual operations, i.e., individual air drops. c. Note that the detailed reporting to the Special Group was almost always done by Bissell or Barnes, not by the DCI. d. Note Adm. Burke's statement that Navy ideas were to have 50,000 U.S. military for intervention in Cuba. (3/14/60 meeting) Query: was this statement in he back of the minds of CIA operators - in going ahead, i.e., he Cuban Brigade was only a spearhead I for (possible) follow-up by U.S. forces? Note in late meeting considerable additional talk of overt intervention.
