                                                          19 December 1963


                   MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

                   SUBJECT:   Meeting with the President on Cuba at 1100 on      -_______
                              19 December  1963




                          1. Included in the meeting were Acting Secretary of State
                   Ball, Acting Secretary of Defense Gilpatric, Secretary Cyrus
                   Vance,  Secretary Douglas Dillon, Ambassador Thompson,
                   General Wheeler, Mr.  Donald Wilson, Mr. McGeorge  Bundy,
                   Mr.  Bromley Smith, Mr.  Edwin Martin, Mr. Ted Sorensen,
                   Mr.  John Crimins, Mr. Gordon Chase, Mr.  George Ready,
                   Mr.  Bill Moyers, General Carter, Mr. Helms, and Mr. Fitz-
                   Gerald.

                          2. The President, after full discussion, postponed any
                   sizable operations by FitzGerald, primarily to avoid any possible
                   embarrassment  to our OAS negotiations on the Venezuelan arms
                   cache.  We are authorized to continue to put forward proposals
                   for operations and also to continue preparations for air ops. The
                   main thrust was to greatly increase political action with Canada,
                   Britain, Spain, Italy, and others in an effort to promote greater
                   economic blockade.

                          3. Mr.  Bundy later stated that his analysis of the meeting
                   was that the President would continue to approve smaller
                   FitzGerald-type operations even though they would be relatively
                   unrewarding if they would assist in keeping up the morale of the
                   troops on shore, of our agents, and otherwise help in keeping the
                   ball rolling.




                                                  Marshall S. Carter
                                                Lieutenant General, USA
                                                   Acting Director
