The President should likewise enunciate the policy of the United States that Alliance for Progress funds which are already supposed to be conditioned upon land reform and other assurances should also be made available subject to further assurances that aid to. recognition of. and trade with Cuba would be withdrawn so that that country would be isolated and to prevent the exportation of communism from Cuba. The best information available to me. despite denials thereof by the President and the State Department. is that some 450 Communist troops recently did enter Cuba along with the other military buildup and whether or not they were in uniform seems to be nit picking and approaches an effort to mislead the American people as to what is going on in Cuba. Through failure to back up the invading refugees on the Bay of Pigs with military recommended air coverage the immediate opportunity to get rid of Castro was lost and thus the responsibility of the New Frontier. It is equally its responsibility to provide effective leadership in killing off this cancer before it spreads further or becomes a greater danger and this. in my opinion. is our duty under the Monroe Doctrine principles. A failure to provide an effective program is a sign of weakness. not only throughout the world. but in this hemisphere in particular.
