Summary: The document details CIA operations in Cuba following the Bay of Pigs invasion (April 15, 1961), including clandestine efforts to gather intelligence on Soviet military activities. It notes a reduction in covert operations after the failed invasion, with 406 reports from Cuban sources between April 15 and December 1961. The CIA's Contact Division/OO disseminated 1,764 reports during this period. By April 21, 1961, 147 agents were recruited in Cuba, alongside five maintained agents. The Taylor Committee (comprising Allen Dulles, Admiral Burke, and others) conducted a review of the Bay of Pigs incident from April 22 to June 1961, demanding extensive documentation and interviews. A shift in CIA leadership occurred by late 1961, with new directives emphasizing intensified intelligence collection against Cuba. By March 8, 1962, the Task Force had 59 personnel dedicated to Cuban operations, including 147 from external agencies. Budgets for these efforts were estimated at $28.2 million in 1963 but scaled down to $24 million. The text also discusses non-official cover strategies, technical intelligence gathering (e.g., identifying Soviet missile installations via satellite and agent reports), and the challenges of operating in denied areas. It highlights the need for expanded clandestine operations in Latin America, including new CIA stations in Jamaica, British Guiana, and Brazil, with increased personnel and resources allocated to intelligence collection.
