CIPHERED TELEGRAM


Regarding the threats of the USA toward Cuba, we remain in constant contact with Fidel Castro and Raoul Castro.


The Cuban command gave an order for full mobilization of the army and occupation of defensive positions. Besides telegraphic dispatches of information agencies and Kennedy's speeches, our friends have no other information.


We will quickly inform you of all new facts.


We are taking steps to ensure security and the organization of a duty roster in Soviet institutions.


Please issue an order to the radio center to listen to us around the clock.
