with the young Cuban Fron: tJje UE (2}] who pointed out that they were willing to
comit people only on operations Which they regarded as sensible= Helms defines_
sensible in Cuban terminology as meaning an action which would contribute to the liberatic
of their country, another way of saying that the United States_ perhaps in conjunction
with other Latin American countries would bail them out militarily. Helms point
was specially echoed by Huston and Ryan.
