  U.S. Agency for International Development Mistakenly Reveals Anti-Cuba
  Program

Washington, Nov 19.- The U.S. Agency for International Development 
(USAID) mistakenly released a six-million-dollar subversive program 
against Cuba after using an uncoded communication line used to send 
diplomatic documents to Havana.

The documents reveal that on July 10th, the USAID launched its 
initiative coded SOL-OAA-13- OOO110 and at least 20 non-government 
organizations requested funds to train so-called dissidents in Cuba over 
the next three years.

The program includes budget proposals, ways to follow and evaluate the 
progress of actions, schemes and the experiences about other 
destabilizing projects designed against Cuba under the 1996 Helms-Burton 
Law.

The plan provides the so-called Cuban 'opposition' more opportunities to 
travel abroad and receive training in technical issues and in a series 
of fields considered as important for the alleged development of 
democracy and civil society on the island, in open action to subvert the 
island's political order.

According to reports, USAID officials called candidates to the program 
last August to tell them that their applications had been sent through 
an uncoded line hooked to Havana and they could put remove their 
petitions if they considered them under too much risk.

None of the groups canceled their requests, but after several weeks, 
each of them received rejection of their applications in messages that 
did not mention the agency's mistake, although they described the 
petitions as deficient.

The U.S. Agency for International Development claims to be a 
non-governmental organization, but it is actually one of the tentacles 
of the White House, using intelligence services to gather information on 
countries of this region and interfere with their internal and external 
political affairs.

The agency has a one-billion-dollar annual budget destined for 
operations in Latin America and the Caribbean, aimed at influencing 
societies and identify people to be used in the agency's plans, which 
include reinforcing U.S. external policy behind the mask of an 
organization that supposedly offers economic, health, political, 
agricultural and humanitarian assistance.(Taken from Radio Havana Cuba)
