prop teams planning infiltration into Cuba will carry Viking
transmitters with them. Hopefully, at least one will be in place and
broadcarting truly clandestine programs by D-Day.
The invasion force will be equipped with a Viking transmitter, in
the exprctation that it can broadcast directly from its denied area
within the country.
NOTE:
It is possible that following D-Day there will be an
interruption in electrical power so that regular radio
sets will be inoperative. In any event, it is probable
that fighting forces will have to dependon battery or
generator-powered sets.
It is planned to provide fighting troops with small
transistor battery-powered sets which can be carried
in the pocket or on a chain around the neck. Fighting
elements with which we are not in contact will be sup-
plied by air drops of transistors hung from brightly
colored parachutes. All material drops will contain
at least some transistors and battery replacements.

IV
LEAFLETS
Regular pre-invasion leaflet drops will be stepped up shortly before
D-Day. Generally, they will stimulate and incite the population for the
beginning of fighting, but will tend to mislead on where it will occur.
D-Day Leaflet: This is the key message of the D-Day propaganda operation.
The leailet will have to be concise and yet answer all possible questions
for Cuba and the rest of the world. It will be a statement from the
military leader (roughly in. the form of Eisenhower's D-Day statement).
