Summary  
This document is a classified CIA progress report from April 1–11, 1962, detailing U.S. intelligence operations in Cuba under the "Cuba Project." It outlines clandestine resistance groups opposing Fidel Castro, including the Movimiento Recuperación Revolucionario (MRR), Directorio Revolucionario Estudantil (DRE), Movimiento Democracia/Cristiano (MDC), Movimiento Revolución Revolucionario del Pueblo (MRP), and 30th of November (MDR). The report notes that while these groups have organizational structure and discipline, smaller underground units lack cohesion and are often led by individuals with personal ambitions. U.S. efforts focus on leveraging larger groups for coordination and using smaller groups as distractions. The document also describes cooperation with foreign intelligence services (Denmark, Norway), refugee debriefings in Florida, and Soviet military equipment sightings in Cuba.
