Summary  
The document outlines U.S. intelligence and military activities targeting Fidel Castro’s regime in Cuba during 1960–1962, primarily under Operation MONGOOSE/MONOCOSE. It details CIA planning for covert operations, including sabotage of Cuban infrastructure (e.g., fuel contamination), clandestine radio broadcasts from submarines ("Voice of Cuba"), and agent infiltration efforts. Budgetary discussions highlight funding requests such as $1 million for fiscal year 1960. The Special Group, comprising officials like John Foster Dulles, Allen Bissell, and Dean Rusk, coordinated with the National Security Council and evaluated resistance movements within Cuba. In 1962, a team was deployed to Oriente Province, facing significant Cuban security opposition; reports suggest four operatives were captured and two executed, though this remains unconfirmed. A Marine operation to plant arms and demolitions in Cuba succeeded without incident. The document also references internal debates over resource allocation, intelligence-gathering priorities, and the need for a comprehensive review of MONOCOSE by late July 1962.
