CIA Chief Warns of Cuban-Trained Latins Threat to Hemispheric Nations
CIA Director John A. McCone says 1000 to 1500 Latin Americans trained in Cuba in 1962 for guerrilla warfare and terrorism form an international cadre ready to lead a liberation army. He cites 17,000 Soviet personnel in Cuba and urges tighter economic and political measures to deter subversion in the hemisphere. Representative H R Gross criticizes the briefing as a coverup while lawmakers weigh Alliance for Progress funding. The testimony notes Uruguay as a key exception where bloc factions have access to Cuba and the Soviet bloc.
