They do not know whether the number of Soviet troops they believe left Cuba were withdrawals or merely rotations. Last. but far from least. they have no evidence that any combat ground troops for the Soiet mobile armored groups in Cuba have been withdrawn. Our intelligence chiefs refuse to accept human resource reports of refugees and others of 40.000 Soviets in Cubajust as they refused to accept human resource reports of Soviet missiles In Cuba last summerbut they do concede that Soviet military strength in Cuba is so great that a revolt from within or an invasion by refugees from without is impossible. Unlike the time of the Bay of Pigs. today an invasion of Cuba would take an allout assault. on the order of Iwo Jima or Salerno in World War II. This should answer those who complain that the Cuban people should rise up and get rid of the Communists.
