U S Spy Chief Sees Little Hope for Cuba Uprising
CIA Director John A. McCone told Congress that an internal revolt against Fidel Castro in Cuba is unlikely. He described Cuba as a police state and said it would be hard for an unarmed population to rise. McNamara warned the U S would not tolerate Soviet aid to crush any rebellion. McCone noted subversive pressure from Havana into Latin America with limited success, citing 1000 to 1500 trainees from several countries receiving indoctrination and weapons training in Cuba.
