become the holiest of grails -- constantly, and un- successfully, to be sought throughout the course of the operation by Agency planners. The proposed paper for the Special Group (the paper which Mr. Helms found somewhat lacking) empha- sized those areas highlighted in previous Special Group sessions -- anti-Castro propaganda, disrup- tions of the Cuban economy, including large scale sabotage operations, and the development of instructor cadres to provide both communications and PM training cadres to resistance groups already extant in Cuba. Interesting, too, is the fact that at this early stage of US planning mention was made of the offer from the Guatemalan Government of a training site for the PM cadres, or "action groups" as they were called. A financial annex included in the proposals \ for the Special Group indicated the need for $900,000 for the remainder of FY 1960 and $1.6 million for FY 1961.* 34/ * Apparently Mr. Helms failed to read the financial annex carefully enough, for the estimated requirement for fiscal. 1961 which is shown as $1.6 million, was either a typographical error, or a mistake in addition -- the sum of the parts shown for FY '61 is $1.7 million. It also was noted that for the remainder of FY '60, the Agency reserve funds would have to be drawn on to meet these "non-program requirements." - 61 - TQI? ~I.1QR:FF
