SUBJECT: Cuba Policy Review (S)
The President has formally approved the scheduling of an NSPG
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. (S)
The President believes that while. measures taken against the
Castro regime have raised the cost to that regime, our policy
has not as yet significantly deterred Havana. Therefore, the
President. wishes the policy review to-have as its basic objective
a significant reduction cf Cuban activity hostile to American
and allied interests around the.world. (S)
The specific terms of reference for this meeting include the
following:
o A review of all NSDD action items contained in NSDDs 17, 21,
37, 37(a), and 59, and preparation of a detailed status
report on each item. (S)
o A review of the effectiveness of each action item in the
belief that some need to be altered, perhaps eliminated,
or complemented by other actions. (S)
o An assessment of overall costs to the Castro regime
and determination of deterrent value, if any. (S)
o Exploration of additional measures that would directly
and greatly increase the cost of Cuban adventurism around
the world. (S) .
