IN 1970, at Cienfuegos, Cuba, a base
construction project began. There was
evidence that It could be of the pro-
hibited type Those of us on the Joint
Chiefs of Staff insisted that the con-
struction must stop.
After stiff negotiations with the So-
viet Union, it was stipulated that nu-
clear submarines could not be permit-
ted to use Cuba as an operating base.
Then Assistant to the President Henry
A Kissinger underlined this publicly
by stating that "the Soviet Union can
be under no doubt that we would view
the establishment of a strategic base
in the Caribbean with utmost serious-
ness."
However, the Soviet Union exploited

THE WEIGHT OF Evidence within
the U.S. intelligence community is
that the MIG-23 fighter aircraft
recently provided by the Soviet Union
to Cuba are equipped to drop bombs
The bombs could be nuclear if the
Soviet Union chose to provide them
For the United States, therefore,
there are two vital questions
I—Do the MIG-23s in Cuba violate
the Kennedy-Khrushchev under-
standing that resulted from the 1962
Cuban missile crisis?
2—How much do the MIG-23s affect
the strategic nuclear balance?
Sixteen years ago we were special
assistants to two members of the ex-
ecutive committee of the National Se-
curity Council. In that capacity we
prepared a paper used by that body in
establishing the priorities of our ob-
jectives for the removal of the Soviet
military capability from Cuba.
THOSE OBJECTIVES were the re-
moval of:
I—The longer intermediate range
ballistic missiles
2—The medium range ballistic mis-
siles.
3—Ilyushin 28 bombers
4—Soviet combat troops
5—MIG fighter aircraft.
6—Surface-to-air missiles
The National Security Council mem-
bers agreed that the quarantine of
Cuba must be kept in force until the
first four of those objectives had been
achieved
But the council, fearful of pressing
the Russians too hard, weakened on
the last two Consequently the MIGs
and the SAM missiles remained in
Cuba under Cuban control.
President Kennedy's Oct 27, 1962,
letter to Khrushchev which became
the basis of the "Kennedy-
Khrushchev agreement," had called
for "all weapons systems in Cuba ca-
pable of offensive action to be ren-
dered inoperable" and removed from
Cuba
The MIGs left behind were clearly
incapable of bombing and were there-
fore, despite some disagreement
within the National Security Council,
permitted to remain
This Kennedy-Khrushchev under-
standing survived intact until 1970
The United States had always in-
terpreted the agreement as prohib-
iting base facilities in Cuba out of
which Soviet ships carrying nuclear
weapons could operate
