r/r 1. I AM GROWING INCREASINGLY CONCERNED OVER SOVIET INTENTIONS IN
25X1
DER CONSTRUCTION IS NOT REPEAT,
HAT SILOS UN
NOT SATISFACTORILY ANSWERED BY NEGATIVE SURFACE INDICATIONS OR THE
ABSENCE OF SPOILS AS QUANTITIES OF EARTH INVOLVED COULD BE TRUCKED
AWAY AND HIDDEN FROM VIEW AND OTHER SIGNS OF WORKINGS COULD BE
EASILY CAMOUFLAGED. THEREFORE FEEL WE. CANNOT REPEAT CANNOT
DISMISS THIS POSSIBILITY ON BASIS OF PHOTO INTERPRETATION AND ANALYSIS.
2. SEVERAL RECENT EVENTS CONTRIBUTE TO MY GROWING CONCERN OVER
THE POSSIBILITY OF REINTRODUCTION OF AN OFFENSIVE WEAPON CAPABILITY
IN CUBA AND I WISH THE ENTIRE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY TO INTENSI I
ION

EFFORTS TO SATISFACTORILY ANSWER HI
25X1 RECEIPT OF.TWO SHIPLOADS OF.UNEXPLAINED MILITARY
CARGO AND THE PRECIPITOUS DISCHARGING OF'THE CARGOS BY MILITARY
PERSONNEL, TOGETHER WITH NEWS OF A POSSIBLE THIRD 'CARGO,, IS TO ME
AN OMINOUS SIGN. IN ADDITION KHRUSHCHEV'S FALSE AND ABSOLUTELY
MISLEADING STATEMENT THAT HIS "TECHNICIANS WERE IN CUBA TO TRAIN,
CUBANS" IS INCONSISTENT WITH FACTS, AS WERE HIS AND DOBRYNIN'S
STATEMENTS PRIOR TO OCTOBER CRISIS.

3. FURTHERMORE, DISARMAMENT PROPOSALS OF YESTERDAY AT GENEVA
WERE SO OBVIOUSLY UNACCEPTABLE TO THE WEST AS. THEY HAVE BEEN.ON
NUMEROUS OCCASIONS DURING" THE PAST TEN YEARS THAT I BELIEVE THEY WERE
STATED AS A JUSTIFICATION FOR A SOVIET OFFENSIVE WEAPONS BASE IN
CUBA THAN FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE. CERTAINLY THEY WERE NOT ADVANCED
