INTRODUCTION 

The documents in this microfilm collection have been obtained by 

University Publications of America (UPA) from the Central Files of the 

General Records of the Department of State, Record Group 59. These 

records are under the jurisdiction of the Legislative and Diplomatic Branch 

of the Civil Archives, National Archives and Records Administration, 

Washington D.C., where they are housed. UPA has published these 

records in cooperation with the National Archives. 

The Central Files of the General Records of the Department of State 

contain the bulk of the records accessed in Record Group 59--some 82 

percent of this Record Group, according to a National Archives estimate. 

The Central Files contain all instructions sent to and all correspondence 

received from diplomatic posts abroad by the Department of State. In 

addition, most of the State Department's internal documentation, as well as 

correspondence between the Department and other federal departments 

and agencies, Congress, and private individuals and organizations, are 

included in the Central Files. 

The records filmed from the Central Files for this collection are from the 

Internal and Foreign Affairs subject classifications of the Central Files. They 

include telegrams, airgrams, instructions, inquiries, studies, memoranda, 

situation reports, translations, special reports, plans, and official and 

unofficial correspondence. 

These documents illuminate Cuba's political system, government, 

judiciary, laws, military, customs, economy, finance, agriculture, natural 

resources, industry, communications, media, and relations with the United 

States of America and other nations. Because of the broad scope of these 

records, they both supplement and complement the coverage offered by 

the Department of State's own Foreign Relations of the United States 

series. 

This collection has been microfilmed directly from the records held at the 

National Archives, Washington, D.C. As such, the records reproduced 

herein represent the best available copies. UPA is proud to make this 

collection available for your research.

Decimal Number 837

NOTE ON SOURCES 

The documents in this collection are from Record Group 59, Records of 

the Department of State, Central Files: Cuba. The decimal numbers 

microfilmed include 837.00-837.927. These documents can be found at 

the National Archives, Washington, D.C. 

The Confidential Correspondence File materials were separated by the 

State Department due to their highly classified nature. These materials have 

since been declassified but have not been reintegrated into the Correspondence 

File materials. The Confidential Correspondence Files have 

been filmed as part of this collection and are found at the end of the Correspondence 

File materials. 

EDITORIAL NOTE 

University Publications of America (UPA) has microfilmed these files in 

their entirety. Only duplicate copies of documents have been excluded 

from this micropublication. Decimal citations to documents enclosed by 

brackets were misnumbered by the Department of State. UPA has filmed 

these documents in the order in which they are filed at the National 

Archives. The correct decimal number with the correct subject citation is 

enclosed by the brackets.

ORGANIZATION OF THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE'S 

DECIMAL FILING SYSTEM 

From 1910 to 1963, the Department of State used a decimal classification 

system to organize its Central Files. This system assembled and 

arranged individual documents according to their subject with each subject 

having been assigned a specific decimal code. 

The decimal system from 1930 to 1949 consists of nine primary 

classifications numbered 0 through 8, each covering a broad subject area. 

CLASS 0: General. Miscellaneous. 

CLASS 1: Administration, U.S. Government, including the Department 

of State and the Foreign Service. 

CLASS 2: Extradition. The negotiation, application, and interpretation of 

extradition treaties and individual extradition cases. 

CLASS 3: Protection of Interests. The protection of private and national 

interests. 

CLASS 4: Claims. The negotiation, application, and interpretation of treaties 

on claims and individual claims cases. 

CLASS 5: International Conferences (Congresses), Multilateral Treaties, 

Disarmament, League of Nations, United Nations, and Interparliamentary 

Union. 

CLASS 6: Commerce, Customs Administration, and Trade Agreements. 

CLASS 7: Political Relations of States, including diplomatic and consular 

representation and bilateral treaties, conventions, and agreements. 

CLASS 8: Internal Affairs of States.

For this publication, UPA has microfilmed the documents contained in 

CLASS 8. Within this class each subject is defined by a decimal file number. 

The decimal file number is followed by a slant mark (/). The number after the 

slant mark refers to the date on which the document was generated. 

Documents within each decimal file number are arranged in chronological 

order. The entire decimal file number is stamped on the right side of the first 

page of every document. 

This class is concerned almost exclusively with the internal matters of 

individual countries. The class number (8) is followed by the country 

number. The number following the decimal point indicates subtopics within 

the general category of Internal Affairs. The date after the slant mark (/) 

identifies the individual document. Thus, 837.03/9-1848 indicates a 

document dated September 18,1948, relating to the legislative branch of 

government (03) in Cuba (37).

Decimal Numbers 737 and 711.37

NOTE ON SOURCES 

The documents in this collection are from Record Group 59, Records of 

the Department of State, Central Files: Cuba. The decimal numbers 

microfilmed include 737.00-737.93 and 711.37-711.379. These documents 

can be found at the National Archives, Washington, D.C. 

The Confidential Correspondence File materials were separated by the 

State Department due to their highly classified nature. These materials have 

since been declassified but have not been reintegrated into the Correspondence 

File materials. The Confidential Correspondence Files have 

been filmed as part of this collection and are found at the end of the Correspondence 

File material. 

EDITORIAL NOTE 

University Publications of America (UPA) has microfilmed these files in 

their entirety. Only duplicate copies of documents have been excluded 

from this micropublication. Decimal citations to documents enclosed by 

brackets were misnumbered by the Department of State. UPA has filmed 

these documents in the order in which they are filed at the National 

Archives. The correct decimal number with the correct subject citation is 

enclosed by the brackets.

ORGANIZATION OF THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE'S 

DECIMAL FILING SYSTEM 

From 1910 to 1963, the Department of State used a decimal classification 

system to organize its Central Files. This system assembled and 

arranged individual documents according to their subject, with each subject 

having been assigned a specific decimal code. 

The decimal system from 1930 to 1949 consists of nine primary 

classifications numbered 0 through 8, each covering a broad subject area. 

CLASS 0: General. Miscellaneous. 

CLASS 1: Administration, U.S. Government, including the Department 

of State and the Foreign Service. 

CLASS 2: Extradition. The negotiation, application, and interpretation of 

extradition treaties and individual extradition cases. 

CLASS 3: Protection of Interests. The protection of private and national 

interests. 

CLASS 4: Claims. The negotiation, application, and interpretation of treaties 

on claims and individual claims cases. 

CLASS 5: International Conferences (Congresses), Multilateral Treaties, 

Disarmament, League of Nations, United Nations, and Interparliamentary 

Union. 

CLASS 6: Commerce, Customs Administration, and Trade Agreements. 

CLASS 7: Political Relations of States, including diplomatic and consular 

representation and bilateral treaties, conventions, and agreements. 

CLASS 8: Internal Affairs of States.

For this publication, UPA has microfilmed the documents contained in 

CLASS 7, which deals with the foreign policy and political relations between 

countries. Within this class each subject is defined by a decimal file number. 

The decimal file number is followed by a slant mark (/). The number after the 

slant mark refers to the date on which the document was generated. 

Documents within each decimal file are arranged in chronological order. The 

entire decimal file number is stamped on the right side of the first page of 

every document. 

In this publication, records classified 737 deal with the foreign policy of 

Cuba and the political relations between Cuba and other nations. Due to the 

State Department's arrangement of these records, countries assigned 

numbers below 37 will not be found in this file. However, University 

Publications of America (UPA) has included the political relations between 

the United States of America (country number 11) and Cuba in this publication. 

In order to find the political relations between Cuba and countries 

other than the U.S. that have a lower number than 37, the researcher 

should check the CLASS 7 records for that lower number. These records 

can be found at the National Archives, Washington, D.C.; in addition, UPA 

has already microfilmed the documents for many of these countries and 

made them available to libraries.

The State Department's numerical list of country numbers is reproduced 

on the following pages.
