Summary  
This document is a CIA report dated November 27, 1963, detailing observations of military activity in Cuba. It notes that on November 23, 1963, approximately 285 tanks with twin cannons were observed participating in maneuvers near the intersection of Via Monumental and Carretera Central in Havana. These tanks, described as a type previously unseen by eyewitnesses, are linked to a shipment of armored vehicles referred to as "Lanza Lamas" (flame throwers) brought by Greenburg on October 23, 1963. The report also mentions a large military camp west of Via Monumental near Carretera Central, likely the Loma de Tierra area, which experienced increased vehicle and matériel activity. The source for this information is an educated Cuban of Western European descent residing in Havana, whose reliability has not been established.
