CONFIDENTIAL URGENT

DAC/DOr/DEA/DAS/DNU/600.(24h)

Question of Cuba.

Visit of A. Mikoyan.

 

368 – MONDAY – 17hs30 – Mikoyan intends to remain in Cuba, at least, one week. This will permit a complete review of relations between Cuba and Russia, in face of the last events. Until now I have not obtained information of interest about these negotiations, but the declarations of Mikoyan in New York and the optimism demonstrated by some authorities, with whom I conversed, seem to indicate that the prospects of future Soviet aid are good for Cuba.

 

LUIZ LEIVAS BASTIAN PINTO
