These people. many. many of them. could be our first line of offense in building public opinion throughout the Latin American and South American countries against Castros current effort to export communism to those countries and infect other nations with the longrange plan by Moscow to infiltrate and bring about the downfall of these nations. The Presidents outstanding Peace Corps program has done much to help the people of Latin America. as it has throughout the world. and to let the people of many nations see democracy in action. I want to explore with you a plan for creation of a Latin Peace Corps under the Cuban refugee program with the following objectives: 1. To provide a program under which Cuban refugees could volunteer for assignment to Latin American nations to tell the story as eyewitnesses about what has happened and what is happening in Cuba. 2. The program should be devised so that their skills can be used according to their occupations in such fields as teaching. medicine. law. writing. and engineering. S. Those volunteering under the Latin Peace Corps program would receive benefits comparable to those they now qualify for as refugees while on assignment. It seems to me that this approach would have n strong appeal to thousands of these people who want to do something actively to fight Castro and communism. This approach to "resettlement" is one that should have considerable appeal to the refugee colony in Miami. and an approach which could be useful to our country. I respect your experience as an expert in the field of resettlement activities based on your 18year career. and solicit your opinion. and suggestions with regard to the creation of a Latin Peace Corps as described above. Kindest regards. and Always sincerely.
