Newspaper Article
NICARAGUA, AN ECHO OF THE BAY OF PIGS
1986
Overview
On March 17, 1960, President Dwight D. Eisenhower approved ''A Program of Covert Action Against the Castro Regime'' because [Fidel Castro] was moving toward Communism and a stronger relationship with the Soviet Union. Meanwhile, his Administration had begun to develop a paramilitary force outside of Cuba for ''future guerrilla action.'' On Feb. 3, 1961, the Joint Chiefs of Staff approved a ''Military Evaluation of the C.I.A. Paramilitary Plan - Cuba,'' but with the warning that ''it is obvious that ultimate success will depend upon political factors, i.e., a sizable popular uprising or substantial follow-on forces.'' The C.I.A. misled President John F. Kennedy about the likeli-hood of an uprising after the landing of the Cuban exiles' brigade. Secretary of State Dean Rusk later told a Presidential board of inquiry ''that the uprising was utterly essential to success.''
