українська. Ми закликаємо Сполучені Штати і НАТО серйозно і реалістично задовольнити обґрунтовані вимоги гарантій безпеки з боку Російської Федерації, яка має право захищатися", - йдеться в заяві кубинського уряду. Однак Куба виступає за дипломатичне рішення шляхом конструктивного та шанобливого діалогу. Ми закликаємо зберегти міжнародний мир і безпеку", - уточнили в MINREX (Міністерство закордонних справ Куби). Кастро-комуністична тиранія використовує ці слова, щоб виправдати та відкрито підтримати злочинне та невиправдане вторгнення, яке здійснює Володимир Путін проти українського народу. Навіть офіційні ЗМІ на острові намагаються переконати кубинський народ у непевності, що Путін нападає на українців. Частина кубинського народу збентежена цим. Проте, завдяки Інтернету та незважаючи на цензуру та блокування деяких веб-сторінок, ми змогли залишатися в курсі якомога більше. Ми знаємо, на що здатні комуністи, і тому ми знаємо, на що може бути здатний такий, як Путін. Апеляція кубинської диктатури до Сполучених Штатів і НАТО – це саме те, як вона обрала для маскування злочинну підтримку, яку вона надає. Слід очікувати, що тиранія, яка панує на острові, повинна вести себе підпорядковано Росії. Ми ніколи не забудемо і не пробачимо, що в той час як демократичні країни засуджують жорстоку агресію російських військ проти українців, президент Куби Мігель Діас-Канель схвалює напади, так само як і режими Ніколаса Мадуро та Даніеля Ортеги-Росаріо Мурільо в Венесуела і Нікарагуа. У той час як ми молимося та надаємо нашу підтримку так, як ми можемо, як народ, підданий кривавій тиранії, як-от Кастро, ми даємо зрозуміти нашим українським братам і сестрам, а також Президенту Володимиру Зеленському, що є багато кубинців з народу, які протистоять цьому. злочинне вторгнення. Саме кубинський режим надає свою підтримку Путіну, це кубинські лідери, а не кубинський народ. Не ті з нас, кого пригнічує вбивча тиранія, яку радять і підтримують різні способи ті самі, хто нападає на вас і коли ми говоримо це, ми маємо на увазі російських військових за наказом Путіна. Ні Україна, ні світ ніколи не повинні забувати, що кубинське безправне правління було одним із тих, хто погодився з тим, що Володимир Путін вбиває українців, незалежно від того, жінки вони, діти тощо. Заборонено забути всі злочини, які Кастро-комунізм вчинив проти самого кубинського народу, заборонено забути, як Путін приніс смерть Україні, і заборонено забути, що кастроїзм був його спільником.

"We call on the United States and NATO to seriously and realistically address the well-founded demands for security guarantees from the Russian Federation, which has the right to defend itself," the Cuban government said in the statement. Cuba, however, "advocates a diplomatic solution through constructive and respectful dialogue. We call to preserve international peace and security", specified the MINREX (Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cuba). The Castro-communist tyranny uses these words to justify and openly support the criminal and unjustified invasion that Vladimir Putin is carrying out against the Ukrainian nation. Even the official media on the island try to make the Cuban people believe that it is uncertain that Putin is attacking the Ukrainians. Part of the Cuban people is confused about it. However, thanks to the internet and despite the censorship and blockades of certain web pages, we have been able to stay informed as much as possible. We know what the communists are capable of and for that reason we know what someone like Putin can be capable of. The appeal of the Cuban dictatorship to the United States and NATO is just the way it has chosen to mask the criminal support it gives. It is to be expected that the tyranny that reigns on the island should behave subserviently to Russia. We will never forget nor will we forgive that while democratic countries have been denouncing the brutal aggression of Russian forces against Ukrainians, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel approves of the attacks, as do the regimes of Nicolás Maduro and Daniel Ortega-Rosario Murillo, in Venezuela and Nicaragua. While we pray and give our support in the way that we can as a people subjected to a bloody tyranny such as Castro's, we let our Ukrainian brothers and sisters and also President Volodymyr Zelensky know that there are many Cubans of the people who oppose to this criminal invasion. It is the Cuban regime that gives its support to Putin, it is the Cuban leaders, not the Cuban people. Not those of us who are oppressed by a murderous tyranny advised and supported in various ways by the same ones who are attacking you and when we say this, we are referring to the Russian military under the orders of Putin. Neither Ukraine nor the world should ever forget that the Cuban misrule has been one of those that has agreed that Vladimir Putin kills Ukrainians regardless of whether they are women, children, etc. Forbidden to forget all the crimes that Castro-communism has committed against the Cuban people itself, forbidden to forget how Putin has brought death to Ukraine and forbidden to forget that Castroism has been an accomplice to him.

S. role in that fiasco? This is the story of one Cuban invader, told in his own words. Manuel Penabaz tells of assurances made by representatives of the U. S. Government that the invasion against Castro would have U. S. support. Then, he relates, lust when-"the invaders n' help most-and might hen won-theyweri Id: "We cannot give you any further suppel .~; Many veterans of the Invasion; just ed from Castro prisons, say; they hold no for against the United States. But Pena btizoy3' "We did not fall. We were betrayed." ,r CPYRGHT by Manuel Penabaz seep a vancmg. Keep advancing-and s c air. So long as I live, I shall never forget those words. They sounded out from an American ship, from the officer who directed our landing operations at the Bay of Pigs on the coast of Cuba, where 1,500 of irs Cubans offered our lives in the hope of liberating our beloved coruatrv from the rule of the bearded despot, Fidel Castro, on April 17, 1961. "Keep advancing and firing! Take the area ahead-and waitl" To us who had struggled ashore from our landing barges, the words "and wait" meant only one thing: "Help is on the way. When we were recruited for this perilous mission, and during our exhaustive training in Guatemala-even while on the slow, ancient freighters that brought us from our em- barkation port in Nicaragua-we were promised the support of the armed forces of the United States. "Over you will be air cover," we were told, "and back of you the Navy and land forces of the United States and other free nations of the Americas. You cannot fail." We did not fail. We were betrayed. After three days of fighting, we heard again that same American voice that had exhorted us to "keep advancing-- and wfi, , it." Only this time it said: "We cannot give you any further support." The whole invasion operation that had been planned and directed by agencies of the U. S. Government had been abandoned by that Government at the moment when vic- tory could have overthrown Fidel Castro. Of the 1,500 who began the assault at the Bay of Pigs on that warm April morning, about 100 were killed; 60 later died of wounds, starvation, torture and executions; most of the others were captured. I was among the lucky. I escaped. Four of my comrades and I found a raft and, after five days afloat, were rescued. Now my surviving comrades of that invasion also have been freed-ransomed from Castro's prison cells. Many of them have told me since their arrival in Miami that their lips are scaled because they have relatives still in Cuba, 1, too, have relatives in Cuba. But my lips are not sealed. I will tell the story of what happened at the Bay of Pigs, be- cause I believe that such a mistake must not be'maddagain by any government or people of the free world, For me, the story of the invasion began in Miami,,Fla., when I heard the words: "Recruits are needed-=revs to overthrow Castro."

The briefing will take place in S 116, The Capitol. Forwarded herewith are biographic cards on Committee Members.. 3. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee initially asked to be p ovided with the intelligence reports on which our analysis of Cuban involvement in the invasion of Zaire was based. Bill Miller, Staff Director, Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, was able to work out an arrangement whereby the Senate Foreign Relations Committee was persuaded to accept, at least initially, an assessment by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence in lieu of the reports themselves. However, because of the article by Bernard Gwertzman appearing in the 7 June edition of the New York Times (copy attached), it is possible that at least some Members of the Committee will renew the request that the Committee be provided the intelligence reports, although Senator George McGovern (D., S. Dak.) has indicated to Bill Miller that he expects no more than the Senate Select Committee's assessment..

Document number CIA-RDP64B00346R000200170025-9 declassified and released through the CIA's CREST database. Previously available only on four computers located outside of Washington D.C., the Agency was successfully pressured into putting the files online as a result of a MuckRock lawsuit and the efforts of Emma Best. The metadata was collected by Data.World, and the files are now being archived and made text searchable by the Internet Archive.
