The Cuban exile groups are highly fractio Uzed. Their plans for
harraesing operations against Cuba are petty. It is highly unlikely
that their small-scale activities can succeed in shaking Castro`s
grip on Cuba. If it is decided an a matter of policy that we want to
bring Castro down, much more elaborate operations, probably in-
volving US forces, will be required. However, in the absence of
such a policy decision, I believe it would not be in our interest to
support or encourage exile plans which cannot succeed.
