From: [Ambassador Boleslaw] JASZCZUK1

 

Based on the conversation between Paszkowski and Deputy Director of United States Department in the Ministry of International Affairs [Sergey] Kudryavstev2:

 

It was agreed upon between the USSR and the US that regardless of Cuba’s maintaining the blockade, Soviet ships will be able to go into Cuba’s seaports without any problems.

 

We need to wait a few days for the results of the talks regarding Cuba. It seems that the United States will not insist on the UN supervision of disassembling the rocket launchers and removing the missiles.

 

Kudryavtsev positively assessed Fidel’s 2 November speech.
