Soviet's influence in Cuba highly visible on streets
HAVANA, CUBA (AP) - The Russians have an important mission to their russia, are keeping a low profile during the current summit meeting here of monarchial leaders—many of whom are visiting Russia.
But they are definitely here, according to longtime residents and observers who say that after the native Spanish, French and English language board on the attractions of Havana,
The Cuban government has ridiculed U. S. assertions that 2,000 to 3,000 Soviet combat troops are stationed on the island of Caribbean island, but they have denied it.
WHEN ASKED about Soviet troop presence, Cuban officials shrug, smile or inquire why one would want to know.
"You Americans see Russians everywhere, don't you?" one Cuban Foreign Ministry official said.
U. S. officials say that besides the combat brigade, there are estimated to be 1,500 to 2,000 Soviet military advisers and technical military personnel in
AS IN OTHER foreign posts, the Russians generally keep to themselves, using separate facilities and seldom making unapproved, casual contact with the local people. But during the summit they have been particularly unnoticeable.
But the telltale evidence of the Soviet Union's almost 20-year-old friendship with Cuba can be seen over Havana.
Aked where the Soviet combat troops were, a Cuban woman working as a guide to the soldiers, laughingly, "Come with me. I will take you all over the island and I bet you won't."
THE RUSSIAN language is taught in all schools, and if English does not work in conversation with Cubans on the street, Russian often does.
Cuban officials would rather talk about the U.S. military presence at the invasion site than to discuss Cuba than about a Soviet military presence. The Cubans regard the angry protest in Washington as fabricated hysteria aimed at spolling the nonaligned countries.

State Cyrus R. Vance, who said that 2,000 to 3,000 Soviet combat troops had been in Cuba since at least 1975.
Graham and Moorer gave the Foreign Relations Committee with petitions and a letter signed by the retired generals and officials who oppose ratification of the nact.

Vance also said Wednesday that there were indications that some Soviet combat elements had been on the Caribbean island since the early 1970s.
Bvrd says SALT delay possible
Graham responded by saying, "If that was so, there was absolutely no evidence of that when I was chief of military intelligence."
WASHINGTON—Majority Leader Robert Byrd said yesterday that he might delay Senate floor debate on the SALT II treaty until at least December to give U.S. diplomats time to resolve the controversy over the presence of Soviet combat troops in Afghanistan.
Graham said that during his tenure at the Cyber Intelligence Agency, U.S. intelligence officials flew flights by spy planes. The flights were limited and early in the Carter administration.
THE COMMITTEE'S consideration of the SALT II pact, which was resumed this week following a month-long congressional recess, has been clouded by the administration's acknowledgment that the military and 9,000 combat troops stationed in Cuba.

Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kan, said he would inaugurate a conditional provision of the parties to a certain either that all Soviet combat troops had been dropped on the United States or its allies.
Church resumed the SALT hearings yesterday after delaying them for a day to permit time for the committee to hear secret testimony about the Cuban situation.
Byrd, D-W-Va., said the treaty was too weak and underlined in an atmosphere colored with blood. The state had told him Cuba. The senator said he had told it to be a desirable treaty that is feasible. The issue is resolved nicely.
Sen. Frank D, Ida-Phi, the panel's chairman, came from a series of high-level briefings Wednesday with a warning that the Trump administration was long as the troops remained stationed in Cuba.
Graham also said that the most U.S. intelligence ever found during the years he headed the intelligence agency was the Army's recreational facilities for Soviet sailors.
The target date for bringing the treaty to the Senate floor has been Oct. 1, but Byrd said there was no reason why it could not be considered later.
"Let's give the administration some time," Byrd said. "Let's not rush to put the Senate in a strait jacket."
GRAHAM WAS questioned by the Committee about an assertion by Secretary of
BYRD SAID the Dole resolution would undercut the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which is holding hearings on
SALT II, and would undermine his own authority.
Earlier, a former Defense Intelligence Agency chief, disagreeing with the Carter administration, said he knew of absolutely nothing about the death statured in Cuba in the mid-or early 1970s.
Graham made the assertion while joining retired Adm. Thomas Moorer and about 1,600 other retired admirals and generals in registering opposition to the new treaty.
"IF THEY WERE there, we sure missed them, and we covered Cuba very well," retired Army Lt. Gen. Daniel Graham told a news conference. The Senate should reply to the SALT II Treats.
