Administration officials said the Castro goverment already has released 900 political prisoners, and 387 have asked for U.S. asylum. Phil Chicola, an official in the office of refugee affairs, stressed that steps have been taken to speed up screening of prisoners to overcome a stumbling block that once threatened to stop the releases.

"We can go as fast as they can go within limits," said Chicola. "If they want to release 2,000 people next week, that would pose problems. But we are in a position to, process several hundred persons per month." Pnl Wirt StrvkM WASHINGTON Secretary of Defense Harold Brown, retiring NATO Cmdr.
