Mr. Farr mentioned he would like to bring Cuban miliatry personnel to the Naval Postgraduate school in Monterey to study what he called " how to stop from overthrowing your government"

He said many out of context things in the meeting. Wish I knew what he meant by that one.

Huh. Just found this one. Maybe this is why Mr. Farr is so worried about his buddy Castro:

A former Cuban ambassador to the United Nations who recently defected said yesterday that widespread economic problems on the island could produce an uprising against President Fidel Castro and his system.

Alcibiades Hidalgo, who arrived in South Florida on July 29, said many aspects of daily life in Cuba could produce a "social explosion" at any time.

"There is lot of concern among the elite that this could occur," said Hidalgo, who also served as chief of staff to Defense Minister Raul Castro, brother of the Cuban leader.
