To: [Director General of the Foreign Ministry Maria] WIERNA
From: [Ambassador Boleslaw] JASZCZUK1
Based on the conversation with Deputy Director of United States Department in the Ministry of International Affairs [Sergey] Kudryavstev2:
Kudryavstev thinks that Kennedy’s assurances not to invade Cuba is a main achievement. Now, the major issue is to have it encapsulated in some kind of an international document. As to my question of how Fidel sees the solution to the crisis, he responded that now we should see a major problem. Besides, he is not aware of anything else other than what has already been announced publicly regarding Fidel’s opinion. This morning, [First Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union Anastas] Mikoyan left for New York City and then onto Cuba in order to more broadly discuss current problems.
[1] Boleslaw Jaszczuk, Poland’s ambassador to the Soviet Union from December 2, 1959 to September 25, 1963.
[2] Former Soviet ambassador to Cuba. 1960-62.
Jaszczuk thinks that the public announcements that the US will not invade Cuba are a good start, but that they need to be "encapsulated in some kind of an international document."
