Mr. Jenner. Was that prearranged?
Mr. Stuckey. Well, you have to have an engineer to record it.
Mr. Jenner. I see.
Mr. Stuckey. He just happened to be there operating the equipment, but he was, I mean he was, there, as a witness, and was greatly interested in it, because like me he hadn't run across too many of these birds, and we were curious to see how they thought and why.
So at that time then we began a long rambling recorded interview which lasted 37 minutes, covered a wide range of subjects.
Naturally, a lot of the subjects had to do with Cuba. We discussed the problem of the refugees leaving Cuba, we discussed as to whether or not Castro was an independent ruler of an independent nation or whether he was merely the head of a colony which was the line that I took.
Mr. Jenner. Head of a colony?
Mr. Stuckey. Yes; a Russian colony, Cuba. This was the line that I took in this questioning.
We discussed the economic situation in Cuba, as to what had happened to the economy since Castro took over. We discussed a few abstracts. I asked him the definition of "democracy," which was interesting to me.
Mr. Jenner. Do you have a transcript of that interview?
