44. Editorial Note
On March 28, The New York Times published a story on Cuba which, among other things, noted that the U.S. Government had recently embargoed a shipment of rifles to the Cuban Government. (March 28, 1958, page 9) For Wieland’s recollection of how The New York Times obtained the information, see his testimony of February 2, 1962, before a Senate subcommittee. (State Department Security: Testimony of William Wieland, Hearings Before the Subcommittee to Investigate the Administration of the Internal Security Act and Other Internal Security Laws of the Committee on the Judiciary, United States Senate, 87th Congress (Washington: U.S. Government Printing Office, 1962), page 659)
