Mr. President. I do not mean to suggest they should accept everything which is said. but perhaps there has been a tendency to overdowngrade the reports of Cuban refugees. Perhaps that would be a more accurate way to state it. A few of the instances of faulty intelligence judgment and evaluation deserve specific comment. The evidence was undisputed that it was not until after a confirming picture was obtained on October 25. 19623 days after the President spoke to the Nationthat it was established by the intelligence community that organized Soviet ground combat units were indeed present in Cuba. While I will not comment on this fact at length. its importance should be obvious to all.
