Guerrilla Infiltration Plan for Cuba Draws White House Debate
The Junta Revolucionaria Cubano aims to infiltrate Cuba with guerrilla forces by May, claiming several million dollars in aid from CIA channels. Manuel Ray, leader of JURE, says 500 to 900 fighters are trained in Venezuela, Mexico, and Puerto Rico and would establish a beachhead around May 20. U.S. policy officials split on support, with Kennedy and Vance favoring aid while Rusk and policy planners oppose due to risk of Soviet intervention. Goldwater criticizes the approach, noting expectations of a move on Cuba before the election and refusing to be bound.
