meeting to review our current policy toward Cuba and to discuss
the status of measures decided upon in NSDDs 17, 21, 37, 37(a),
and 59, which directly affect Cuba and. its ability to undermine
U.S. interests and the interests of our friends and allies.
The President believes that while. measures taken against the
Castro regime have raised the cost to that regime, our policy
has no-'---- as yet significantly deterred Havana. Therefore, the
President wishes the policy review to have as its basic objective
a significant reduction of Cuban activity hostile to American
and allied interests around the world.

37, 37(a), and 59, and pre arat'on of a detailed status
report on each item.

and determination of deterrent value, if any.

and greatly increase the cost of Cuban adventurism around
