                              -3 1.  On 12 January and 13 January I talked with hil Toone) and
                            (Bob Reynoads)of k$ Division to firm up details r2 Ti born's b efing here
                            on 15 January and =g preparations for his trip to Cuba.

                                 2.  gg the briefing, it was decided that:- {1) Mr. (F.eynold) will give
                            Subject a general briefing on the Cuban political situa ion (the majcr one
                            will be undertaken. by the Staticn)-and (2) Subject will be given sanitized
                            copies of the IPerlongo (2) report on ndia) Section IV, and of the report
                            prepared bythe  Plans BrancWPP/F   entitled Target Study of Oppositicn
                            Groups in Cuba to .be read by Subject while at the briefing and then returned
                            to us. . Same observations. on security will probably also be made at this
                            time in addition to instructions on the manner of keeping and subaitting his
                            financia  accounting.- (It should. be menticned here also that RH Finance/dmin
                            (Mr. Soukei   is of the opinion that since Tichborn will return to U'asingtor
                            in about 2J weeks time, it is not necessary for him to submit his accounts
                            my mail, since that-man be taken care of on his return.)

                                 3.  The problem which seemed 'to need most careful consideration was
                            that of his, cover-while in Cuba. In talking to operational contacts he
                            makes -there the cover story suggested by the Statiop, in IN-47609 of 12 Nov.
                            1959 appears adequate. However, according -to Pan American Airways, upon
                            arrival in Havana the visitor is issued.a tourist card by the Cuban
                            Immigration authorities. One must state his profession at this time, which
                            should present no problem to Tichborn. It could be that one is also asked
                            his reason for being in uba.  In this case, WH has suggested that the
                            answer -or-tourist would be best since less suspicion would be placed on
                            Subject in the beginning. The important aspect, however, appears to be
                            that of covering Tichbarn as well as possible in the event that he runs
                            afoul of the Cuban authorities due to the nature of his activities and his
                            contacts.  I brought this matter up with WH and they agreed that some kind
                            of backstopping might be a good idea. As a result, I contacted Mr. Strange
                            of Cover Division who assured me that, if ne-essary, an appropriate letter
                            could be provided Tichborn from  cover con    .-,The one finally decided
                            up n as the . ost logical was the                 of the cover copany(in 2 9
                                          hich tad otiginally bee provided  or funding Tichborn.
