Soviet economic pressure on Cuba in 1967-68 forced Cuban dicatator [[Fidel Castro]] to develope a more selective [[revolutiona]]ry [[strategy]], and subordinate the DGI to the [[KGB]].  The KGB compelled Castro to replace its chief, Manuel Piñeiro, with José Méndez Cominches in 1969. The DGI thereafter focused its efforts on collecting military, political and economic intelligence, with responsibility for supporting national liberation movements shifting to the new National Liberation Directorate (DLN), which was independent of the MININT. The DLN was subsequently reorganized into the America Department (DA).
