Re: Froposal for a Multi-Agency Declassification Review of Joseph Califano'8
PapenundertheJEKAc
Gentlemen:
The Assassination Records Review Board would like t0 make arrangements with you t0
declassify six boxes of records from the-files of Joseph Califano: The filea date
Principally from the period 1962-63, during which Mr. Califano served as Ary General
Counsel and as Special Assistant t0 the Secretary of the Army. The records had been
deposited at the National Archives and Records Administration, where were
recently located: A description of the records, which primarily pertain to U.S activities
related to Cuba, is attached hereto. Wehave identified what appears t0 us to be
equities ofnumerous military entities in the Califano papers as well as equities of the
Central Intelligence Agency, the State Department, the United States Information
Agency , and others.
Deadlines
Due to the volume of the records, and the Review Board's current sunset date of
September 30,1997,it is important that we proceed expeditiougly in our review of the
records:! We have slated the Califano papers for review by the Board at its August 5-6, 1997
meeting: The Review Board staff is prepared t0 assist yoU in making arrangements for a
prompt and efficient review of the Califano papers.
'The Review Board is seeking from Congress a one-year; one-time extension t0
September 30, 1998. Congressman Dan Burton is sponsoring a bill t0 extend the life of
the Review Board: Should the Review Board receive the proposed extension, we may
be able t0 revisit the schedule proposed below.

Preliminary Review of Califano Papera
The Review Board 8taffhas conducted an initial revlew of the tecords and has
tentatively reached the following conclusions: fret , the records are very similar in
subject manner t0 many other fecords that akready are a part of theJFK Collection;
second, although the vast majority of the records technicaily temain clasaified , there i8
little remaining censitivity due to the paseage of time and t0 te releaseof much of te
information in other contexts; and third, the Califano papera ontain equities of
numerous military and non-mllitary agencies; which under the standard referral
process would be very difficult and time-consuming} Thus, the logistical problem in
declassifying the records Is not the continued sensitivity of the records,but the number
of agencies that will need t0 review their own equities in the records: For this reason
and for the short time-line on which we are nOw operating webelieve that there is an
urgentneed t0 make acceptable arrangements fr the review and referral Ofrecords
Proposal
In Order to expedite the procecs and make it more efficient; we would like t0 propose an
alternate arrangement for declassiication of records that we previously have found
effective: We suggest the holding ofa multi-agency concurrent review of the Califano
papers We would like t0 schedule a single session at our Offices, on or before July 23,
1997, where all agenciea with equities in the Califano papera be concurrently present for
a declassification review: Atsuch & secsion; agencies would be able t0 review their own
equities in the reoords, declassify them, and simply hand them actoss the table t0 other
'agencies for their review. Ithas been our Own experience that sessiong of this sort
greatly simply the review process by giving agencies the opportunity t0 speak with
each other &nd quickly t0 resolve questions.
Because the Califano papera will need to be reviewed by the Board at its August 5-6
meeting we believe that an arrangement such as is proposed above will provide all
agencies with a full opportunity t0 identify their equities in the records and t0 make
determinations regarding the need for continued classification If the and the
MMs. Toni Bowie, of the Army Declassification Activity, spent three days
reviewing some of the records and making recommendations for referrals to other
agencies both within and outside of the military- Although Ms: Bowie worked
energetically for thuee it was our gense afterwards that; if we continue at the same
pace, the agencies with equities will likely notbe able t0 complete their Ieviews before
the August deadline arrives.

JOSEPH CALIANO PAPERS (6 boxes)
Identified by Steve Tilley at NARA thece 6 boxes of papere, almost exclusively brom
1962-63, were either generated by, Or addreesed to Joseph Califano, who at this time
was Department of the Army General Counsel and Special Assistant to the Secretary o}
the Army: Most of the documents are ghort summaries ofproposed policy positions, or
lettere of transmittal with voluminous appendices attached Eadh of the6 boxes
contain8 approximately 1500-2000 pages of material
Repreeentative Toplcs:
(1) ICCCA (Interdepartmental Coordinating Committee of Cuban Affairs-the
"Cottreli Committee") meetingson future US policy toward Cuba: These
documents are generally background papers prepared prior t0 meetinge,
minutes 0f meetinge,or follow-on discusgion Of action items assigned at
meeting8 of te ICCCA
(2) Contingency plans for Cuban invasion by the U.S. military in the event of
a Cuban uprising:
(3) Psychological warfare Cuba
Diplomatic initiatives intended t0 increase isolation of Cuba:
Biographies, and evaluations of Cuban exile leaders.
(6) Intelligence reports and estimates on reported events insideCuba
Summaries of clandestine paramilitary actions taken against Cuba, and
suggestions for possible future actions
Apparent Equities:
Ninety-five per cent of the documents appear to have multiple-agency equities,
usually 4 t0 6 agencies per document: Based upon staff review, it i8 estimated
that 8% of the documents have State equities , 60% Joint Staff or OSD, 60% NSC,
60 CIA, 15% Or Air Force, perhaps 10% DLA, and a small
percentage of USLA, Justice, .Treasury and FBL

(6) US: military strength levels in Vietnam
Apparent Equitiee:
Multiple agency equities appear to aPply t0 virtually every document-usually
State, OSD and /or NSC. TheJoint Staffhas stated in writing that it is prepared
to expeditiously process these documents for declassification in collaboration
with agencies which have equities, and then accession the declassified
documents to NARA. Currently the Joint Staff is awaiting guidance from ARRB:

Preliminary Review of Papers of JCS Chairmen and Jotnt Staff Central Files
The Review Board staff has conducted an indtial review of the recordg and has
tentatively reached the following conclugions: firet, the records &re very gimilar in
Bubject manner t0 many other records that already are a part of the JFK Collection;
second, although te vast majority 0f the records technically remain classified, there is
little cemaining eensitivity due t0 the passage of time and t0 the release of much of te
information in other contexts; and third, thece papera contain equities of numerous
military and non-military agencies, which; under the standard referral process would
be very difficult and time-consuming: Thus, the logistical problem in declassifying the
records is not the continued sensitivity of the fecords, but the number of agenciee that
will need t0 review their own equities in the records: For this reason, and for te short
time-line on which we are nOw Operating webelieve that there is an urgent need t0
make acceptable arrangements for the review and referral of records
Proposal
In Order t0 expedite the process and make it more efficient; we would like t0 Propose &n
alternate arrangement for declassification of records that we previously have found
effective We suggest the holdingof a multi-agency concurrent review of thece papers
of the three aforementioned JCS Chairmen and theJCS Central Files. We would like t0

'The Joint Staff' s Initial Statement of Compliance t0 the Review Board, dated
February 6, 1997, identified in detadl the process by which these records were located _
namely, which files were searched, and who participated in the searches. Mr: Edmund
McBride, Chief of the Joint Staff Information Management Division, indicated in this
statement that the Joint Staff was standing by to expeditiously process these records for
declassification in collaboration with Other agencies when the ARRB was ready: ARRB
staff has only recently completed its initial review of these Iecords, which constitute
selectively flagged folders within 40 boxes OfJCS and Joint Staff records:

1, Reference 18 made to memorandu from Chief Of Opera-

whIch the Jolnt Chtefs of

InterventJon In Cuba,
2 The. projects lsted In the enclosure hereto are for-
warded' as a prelInLnary submLssion sultable for planning
purposes . It 18 assued that there w1ll be simllar
missions from other agencles and that these Lnputs wIll be
used as a_ basls for developing a time-phased plan. The
Indivldual projects can then be considered on a case-by -
case basis .
3. Thls plan Incorporating Projects selected from the atteched suggestions
or frou other souces s hould be
developed tofocus ai1 efforts on a ultimate
objective whlch woula provide adequate Justification for
US military interventLon. Such a plan would enable a
logical buila-up Of Incldents to be combined with, other
seemIngly unrelated events to cam ouflage the ultimate
objective and create the necessary Impression of Cuban
rashness and Irresponsibility on a large scale, directed
at other countries as well as the Unlted States_ The plan
would also properly integrate and tIme phase the courses
of action to be pursued. The desired resultant from the
execution Of thls plan woula be to place the Unlted States
in the apparent position %f suffering defensible grlevances
from a rash and irresponsible government of Cuba and to
develop an International image of a Cuban threat to peace
In the Western HeuLsphere.
4, Time Ls an important factor In resolution of the
Cuban problem . Therefore_ the. Plan should be SO time-
phased that projects would be operable within the next .few

SUBJECT: Future Cuban Leaderehip
INTRODUCTION
Following 18 2 propobal for the creation of an imaginary
Cuban Jeader. Thie propobal 18 prebented primarlly to &Ll gape
exieting in the prebent policy etudy. It will become obvioue that
thie propoeal can be utilized in' conjunction with current programb
a8 well &0 many: of thoee programe propobed for the future, It
may be neceeeary to addre8e thie propobal or a eimllar propoeal
separately and in advance 0f the policy atudy; however, in the
event no preeeing requirement exiete, it I8 guggeeted that thie
propoeal be coneidered in conjunction with the policy Btudy and
handled on a clogely held ba8ie.
REASON FQR PROPOSAL
Following are Heted a number of indication8 that the leader _
Bhip question will be addreeeed in the near future:
a, With the termination of U.S. eupport to the Cuban
Revolutionary Council (CRC) a vacuum hag been created. Varioue
exile group8 In the U.8. and eleewhere wiLl be vying for recognition
and eupport in attempt to fLl thie void.
b There hae: been constant preaeure On the U.5.
and on Other Latin American countrie8 to recognige a government
In exdle. Thle propobal could Berve to Ieeeen or eliminate much
of thie polltical and peychological pregeure.
C. Thie propoeal could serve.to reduce the blckering
among exile group8 and may Berve to rebolve bome of the problemg
of Cuban exile unificatlon.

d The propobal could emphasize the development 0f
a native "David" In oppobition to Caetro, the Cuban "Goliath. Wi Thi8
could eerve the U.8. Image by maklng Caetro the "Goliath" rather
than the "David" who oppobee the "'North American Giant: "
e Thie propoeal could Berve to prevent the U.8. from
making premature commitmente to a leader or a particular exile group
and could be ueed ae a device to teet exile reeponbe.
{ Thie propoeal could retain for the U.S. the ability
to control future Belections of Leadere or groupe (Hmlng and political
ideologiee).
8. Thle proposal could permlt the U.S. on a progteb ~
Bive baele to Influence the Idealogie8 of tbe reeletance and thue to
influence the Platform of a future Cuban Government.
b. The publcity a88oclated with the prolonged exietence
of a rebletance In Cuba can berve to delay the furtherance of the de
facte recognition of the preeent Cuban Regime.
OBJECTIVE
To create an imaginary leader Or image of reeletance in Cuba.
Thie image would gerve a8 a focal point for rebistance directed against
Cagtro by Cubane or Latin Americane.
DEVELOPMENT
An imaginary name of a reeietance Leader could be developed
utlliging a popular name from Cuban hietory. a name ab8ociated with
rebibtance In Cuba OI a newly devibed name. The name gelected
ehould typify & pereon who 10 friendly to the Cuban people, J8 anti -
communiet, 10 willing to flght agatnet the Regime, and ie little-but
tough. There i8 po requirement for a detalled etaff gtudy In order

to determine thie name. "The Little Bull, Ii "The Little Worm, Mi
"The Friendly Worm, M1 "The Fighting Friend, 1 "The Tough Peagant, 1i
Or any Buch name which 18 acceptable and meaningful in Spanieh
could guffce. Over & period Of Beveral month8 the name could be
"dropped" or leaked through U.S. officialdom, In diplomatlc channele,
In intellgence channele or within the Cuban exdle communlty- Specifc
acte agalnet the Reglme could be credited to thie individual or mem -
bere Of hie group- Communicatione could be arranged between thie
individual and hle eubordinatee to be picked up etther by Caetro'8
Ceneore Or by. radio Intercept in Cuba Or In the U.8.
After a period of time, all unexplatned Ancldents and actiona
for whlch credit been geized by gome other exile.group would
automatically be aecribed to our imaginary' friend: At bome in
time It could be leaked that the U.S. ie, in fact, gupporting thle
imaginary pereon. Simllarly , other Latin American countriee may,
without inducement, publicly follow the U.S. pattern:
During the couree Of thle operation It 18 quite pogeible that the
Caetro Regtme could indcate that the activitiee of thle individual were
terminated, that the Individual wa8 captured, that he wa8 pur
Bued, Or that he wa0 an imaginary faker Or fraud: Such action would
only Berve to ' further publicize the actione of the Individual and eo long
28 rebietance ip general continued 'the fame of our "Cuban Kilroy"
would gpread. Humoroue antice could be credited to Our imaginary
friend and rumor8 of hie explolte Of bravery (ala Zoro) could be
circulated
At bome polnt tn Hme It may be wiee to Indicate what thie
individual gtande for . @t will become obvioug that he i8 opposed to
the Regime In Cuba. ) It could be pobeible to Indicate little-by-little
hie Political platforma in very general terme realizing that the
mietique and the "generalne8e" connected with hie operation i8, in
fact, the power behind the operation: Ultimately. Cubang and othere
may demand that he proclalm hi8 complete political viewe or even
that he preeent himeelf phyeically. Since thi8 i8 not degirable,

arrangemente could be made to bave gelected individuale meet
with hie appointed repreeentative. Hie inatructione and word8
could be relayed to the publlc by many meane.
Ae hie political platform becomee more apparent within
the exile grOupB, it may be pobeible to determine thobe willing to
follow hle leaderehip (to Cuban Independence under hi8 terme)
Or thobe wbo are unwilling to accept hie leaderehip: The line8 of
controverey among exilee can be drawn more clearly. Undegirable
leadere and exile group8 can be eltminated from the competition
through hie dieavowale.
Eventually, a member of the reeletance In Cuba may
buffcent Btature to a80ume Or to be given the title of thie imaginary
leader . Thie, of courbe, will depend in large meaeure on individual
Leaderehlp abllty and the abillty to "fill the boote" 0f this anti-Caatro
image-
While thie echeme i8 replete with gimmickery, ite imple-
mentation could be undertaken In a relatively ehort period of time.
Seneltivity 0f thie gcheme 18 Buch that the knowledge should be held
on the tlghteet bagie and 1f Implemented, thoee propoeing ghould
not be Informed: In the event the acheme i8 compromieed, (unle88
knowledge ie wideepread) there I8 little need for plaueible deniability;
however, once ubed and compromieed the echeme can hardly be
reinstated: A major advantage 16 that thle image can be created
over a long period of tme Or developed rapidly without a political
or economlc commitment On the part of the U. 8. There may be a
polnt at which the U.S. could no Longer disavow collaboration with
thie Imaginary pereon. Thie potnt,.however i8 80 distant that
during any point in the intervenlng Period It would be poeeible for
the U.S. to dibengage ea8tly without guffering embarragament or
