357. Telegram From the Embassy in Cuba to the Department of State1

530. In course brief interview this morning Roa told me Castro would see me probably this week. I was unable to tell Roa and his two young sub-secretaries of our reaction to treatment electric company (Deptel 2682). Am seeing Roa again morning September 2 and would appreciate any further suggestions from Department. I expect rehearse whole range our relations along lines already set forth to Department and which I understand has Department’s approval. Roa added that he hoped Dihigo would be returning here end of week to participate in talks. I said I hoped to go to Washington about 14th. Roa mentioned possibility including Boti and Pazos in conversations. I shall explore this further.
