In connection with Paragraph 14 of the Committee's paper "Study of the Anti- Castro Invasion Zapata" dated 11 May 1961, the chart and paper entitled "A Mechanism for the Planning and Coordination of Cold War Strategy" were discussed. The President encouraged the group to develop this organ- izational concept in greater detail for inclusion in their final report,. The latter is to be oral, supported by written memorandum. It was agreed that this final report and the supporting memorandum would not get beyond the President, but the possibility was left open of some sanitized document to s,et right the past misstatement of the press. There was some discussion of the pesirability of changing the name of CIA in order to reduce its visability. Mr. Dulles undertook to study the matter and see if he could make a recommen- dation. 1/* B. The Final Report 1. Letter of Transmittal On 13 June 1961, General Taylor forwarded the final report of the Cuban Study Group to President Kennedy. Taylor's letter of transmittal referred to the oral briefing given to the President on 16 May 1961, identified the four memoranda which made up the final report, and indicated that the committee was prepared to give the President the oral briefing he had requested on the final report. * Even though he was not listed as one of those in attendance at the 16 May 19,61 meeting with the President--the memorandum listed only the four members of the CSG--the writer presumes it may have been written by J.C. King, Chief, WElD and frequently a fifth presence at the meetings of the CSG. 180
