It references Cuban exile organizations like Comando L and Cubanos Libres planning attacks against Soviet vessels or hijacking ships from Miami. Additionally, it mentions the discovery of a large cache of Cuban-origin weapons in Venezuela, which the Venezuelan government attributed to Cuban support for subversive activities.
