II. On the dispatch to Cuba of a group of advisers on economic matters.

 

Khrushchev, Mikoyan, Suslov

 

Provide a group of economic advisers who would not be subordinate to the ambassador, take them from Cent. Asia.

Cde. Titov Cde.

Cde. Perekhrest Usmanov

Cde. Bondarchuk Yasakov

Cde. V. N. Somakov

 

Invite them to the CC to discuss it.

 

It is disgraceful — we provided tractors to the Cubans, we are not providing agric[ultural] machinery.

 

Include also other advisers, and those who were there — bring them back as the organizers.

 

We sent five ships.

 

Perhaps send a hundred or two hundred of the best ships for fishing.

 

Cdes. Mikoyan, Rashidov, and Shelepin are to prepare it.

Protocol 41 details a meeting on a group of economic advisers sent to Cuba from the Soviet Union.
