The Central Intelligence Agency and the State Department admit they did not have aerial surveillance generally of Russian shipping to Cuba before a missile. on site and partially uncovered. tipped the Russian plot and this I do not understand. This is despite the fact that they had evidence of substantial objects secretly moving in Cuba called to their attention time and time again by refugees coming into this country who stated that they had seen vehicles and they had seen objects which they describe as appearing to be missilelaunching equipment and possibly missiles. However. the State Department and CIA discounted this information. Yet even with this informationavailable. we had no air surveillance over the Russian ships coming into Cuba. it being admitted that the missiles were so large. as were the IL28 fuselages. that they could have been detected if they were deckloaded at least to some extent and yet there was no air surveillance of these missilecarrying ships coming in prior to the time that the actual construction of the missile sites was discovered by air surveillance. and then the closer surveillance which resulted.
