9 June 1961
MEMORAN DUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Planning for JMATE Activities
1. Mr. Esterline, C/WH/OPS, stated 8 June 1961 that the Special
Group had met on that date and, in addition to the Nicaraguan pape.r, had
considered the paper prepared by Branch 4 on 7 June, entitled: Plicy
Decisions Required for A Iency Relationships with the CRC and Other
Cuban Exile Groups. The decision of the Special Group was to negotiate
this matter with State and bring the subject back to the Group later.
2. Mr. Esterlinestated that he had discussed this matter with Mr.
Bissell who would like to have by next Monday night, 12 June, a re-write
of the paper of 7 June. Mr. Esterline discussed the re-write at some
1,-ngth. Basically what Mr. Disbefl apparently wants is a memorandum
forwarding three or perhaps four individual memoranda covering the
same three subjects which we presented before plus perhaps Swan -Island.
Mr. Bissell wants it spelled out more clearly why a major part or all of
the support to the respective activities must be overt. In the event that
we consider, which we probably should, all the pros and cons in this
matter, we should spell out who the funds come from, the delicate point
of if the funds como from the Agency, should the Agency then have a re-
view responsibility over the Department of State in its distribution of
said funds. On the other hand, if we do not have a review function, then
we must be,. In writing, relieved of responsibility once we have turned
over said funds. This, of course, will bring out the basic inconsistency
in the Agency's being involved.
3. Mr. Bissell said that he had looked at our budget again and was
not satisfied with it, and accordingly it would have to be rewritten -- his
main objection being that he does not want the items for support of the CRC
and related entities mentioned in the preceding paragraph included in said
budget. He also commented that in our presentation, presumably referring
to the presentation of paragraph 2 above of the budget of the CRC, he did
not want a breakdown of FRD items, but rather one whole budget for the CRC.
