He made it quite clear during his testimony that he believed that the Joint Chiefs had been fully informed about the planned operations at both Trinidad and Zapata, and he. noted that even though the Joint Chiefs agreed to the Zapata plan they had clearly indicated their preference for the Trinidad operation. General Gray.told the CSG that in addition to having an opportunity to review the Trinidad plan, the Joint Chiefs had conducted their own independent survey of the best areas for launching an operation directed at the overthrow of Castro and, like the Agency, they, too~ came up with Trinidad as the most feasible of the possible sites in Cuba. The general also indicated by way of illustration that the Joint Chiefs had been read into the Agency's planning, that the initial Zapata plan had been modified from a single invasion point at the head of the Bahia de Cochinos down to the Playa Giron area when it was discovered that the airstrip which was to have been utilized at the north end of the bay was unsuitable for B-26 use~ but the strip at Playa Giron, with its harder surface, would support the aircraft. When pressed by the committee about the short length of time that the JCS had in which to evaluate the Zapata plan, General Gray pointed out that the changes from Trinidad to Zapata were easily understood by the Joint Chiefs, particularly as the revised plan also included the heavy D-Day air strikes. 93 I
