Summary:  
The document details a report on Fidel Castro's televised speech addressing accusations that Cuba was involved in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The speech, dated January 20, 1964, was released by the North American Directorate to Indonesian officials and includes statements from Castro denying Cuban involvement, condemning U.S. press allegations as baseless, and criticizing U.S. policies toward Cuba and the Soviet Union. Castro also expressed that President Lyndon B. Johnson would not be as strong as Kennedy due to his lack of direct election by the people. The document notes that while the Soviet Union responded with a newspaper article and diplomatic gestures (e.g., sending Deputy Prime Minister Anastas Mikoyan to Washington), Castro deemed it necessary to directly address U.S. accusations. The text references declassification under Executive Order 14176, which pertains to records related to the assassinations of President JFK, Senator RFK, and Dr. MLK Jr.
