REFERENCE: USA V. Gerald P. Hemming, Et Al. (76-371-CR-CA)
1. During the period of my employment as a Special Agent at the
Drug Entorcement unitste

interview of Gerald Patrick Hemming (DPOB. 1 March 1937, at Los Angeles,
California) on 23 May 1975 at DEA Headquarters. in Washington, D.C:
My report concerning that interview has become part of the case file
in USA v. Gerald P. Hemming, Et Al., Case Number 76-371-CR-CA,
Southern District of Florida, Miami, Florida.
2. Upon my entrance on duty in SE Division on 5 January 1977,
I orally informed the Division Security Officer, Billy Hix, about
the information in paragraph 1 above. Mr. Hix asked me to
submit
the information in writing as soon as I was settled in the Division.
On 7 January 1977, however Special Agent Robert Fredericks
telephonically contacted
the United States Attornery, Southern District of Florida, had
requested that I appear at the U.S. Courthouse, Miami, Florida on
10 January 1977 to confer with the Assistant United States Attorney,
Karen L. Atkinson, regarding my appearance as a witness in behalf of the
U.S. Government in the trial of Gerald P. Henming.
3.
During the afternoon of 7 January 1977 I conferred with Mr. Hix
who advised me to contact the Office of the General Counsel.
I talked
to Mr. Edmund Cohen who advised me to get in touch with the Office of
Security, External Activities Branch (OS/EAB). I completed an
Outside Activity Approval Request (Form 879), obtained the concurrence
of DC/SE, Mr. John Stein, and submitted the Form 879 to OS/EAB.
OS/EAB sent me to Central Cover Staff (Mr. Blandford) and then to the
Office of the General Counsel. After discussions with Mr. Cohen, I called

not available.
Mr. Cohen then advised me to return to my office and
He
further advised me that being in an overt cover status I should state,
if asked under oath, that I am currently a CIA employee.
4. On 10 January 1977 I traveled to Miami where I met and
conferred with AUSA Karen Atkinson and DEA S/A Robert Fredericks.
They informed me that Gerald P. Herming's case had been severed and
nanted me as a rebuttal witness if Gerald P. Hemming presented the
lefense that he had been working at the direction of DEA. She saic
She also said that she felt that any attempt to question me concerning
illy current place of employment was irrelevent and she would object to
any such line of questioning.
She said she would only ask me where
I was employed at the time I interviewed Herming. I returned to

Judge Hoeveler, and Mr. Ted Sakowitz, Public Defender for the Southern District
of Florida. Mr. Sherouse decided that Mr. Mattocks would not be required to
testify and he did not attend the meeting. The Judge initially expressed some reluc-
tance to have an ex parte conference because Mr. Hemming had assumed primary
responsibility for his own defense with only limited assistance from the Public
Defender. The Judge insisted that a transcript of the meeting be made but he
promised that the transcript would be sealed and, in fact, would not be transcribed.
3. The undersigned indicated that the Agency had no interest in the outcome
of the case and interposed no objection to the introduction of any relevant information.
Our sole concern was to protect Mr E
and his relationship with CIA both before
and after his DEA employment. The Judge was informed that Me?
Osole con-
nection with Herming was on 23 May 1975 and that he had no contact with Hemming
during any period of Agency employment. The national security consequences of
exposure of Mr.
as well as the career consequences were outlined. In addition,
the Judge was informed that Mr. Barteaux was prepared to testify as an overt Agency
employee about any relationship between Hemming and CIA.

4. Judge Hoeveler asked Mr. Sakowitz to cross-examine Mr.
to
determine whether he had any information which might be relevant to Hemming's
defense. Mr. Sakowitz stated that although he was aware that Mr. Hemming wished
to call Mr.
Tas a witness, he was not fully informed of all aspects of the case
and, therefore, reluctant to question Mr.
PiThereupon, Judge Hoeveler,
swore in Mr
and proceeded to ask him a series of questions to determine
whether Mr
interaction with Mr. Hemming had been in any way connected
with his CIA employment. At the conclusion of this examination the Judge gave
Mr. Sakowitz a second opportunity to question Mr:
and when Mr. Sakowitz
again declined, he stated that in light of the national security consequences which
had been brought to his attention he was not inclined to permit questions relating
CIA employment.
5. At the conclusion of the conference in chambers, but before the jurv was
admitted into the courtroom, Mr. Sherouse informed Mr. Hemming that Mr.
was available as a witness.
When the trial proceeded Mr. Hemming concluded
his defense without calling Mi
Mr. Sherouse, however, did call Mr.
as a rebuttal witness, On cross-examination Mr. Hemming asked Mr
whether he was with CIA. Mr. Sherouse promptly objected to the question, the
Judge sustained the objection and Mr. Hemming went on to the next question. The
trial concluded soon afterwards without Mr. Barteaux being called as a witness.
It was subsequently learned that Mr. Hemming was found guilty as charged.

a.
On the morning of l December 1963, PARMUTH assisted RESCIGNO
in installing audio microphones under the flooring of an LCHARVEST occupied
apartment. (See HMMA-22608, 11 Dec 63, para 5.d.) Lines leading from the
audio installation to the LP were strung and secured below the flooring which had
ample semi-crawling space between the target area and the LP apartment.
RESCIGNO and PARMUTH entered this crawling space by removing a small
section of flooring located inside the LP apartment.
There is also a trap door
leading into the crawl space at the front entrance hall of the building although
the curious would be discouraged to enter this area because of stagnant water
six to ten inches deep on the floors at all times, cob webs, bugs, etc., etc...
• Three audis microphones were installed on this operation.
b.
During the period 2-14 December 1963, PARMUTH again handled
LEIRES 415 WHO MAY REP, AND ON savo.
PARMUTH forwarded to KURIOT/WAVE
Headquarters two orders of enfloper (sax month supply per each request)
and one request for stamps.r
were sent through the pouch from Mexico City. The stamps were handcarried
by another IDYer to the States for mailing to Washington.:
d. On 6 December 1963 PARMUTH was requested to re-enter the
LP covering the LCHARVEST apartment as reported in para 5. a. of this report
The purpose of this visit was to unlock a closed door which stored the LP equip-
ment which monitors LCHARVEST activities in that apartment. Although the
basehouse keeper had a key which worked well for several days previously, the
lock would not open for the agent on the afternoon of 6 December.. PARMUTH
entered the apartment at 0130 hours on 7 December and unlocked the door. It
was found that the throw bolt located inside the lock was broken. For
security
purposes, two other locks were removed from other doors located in the same
room to check if these locks were in the same bad condition. In each case,
when the key was inserted into the lock and turned excessively, the throw bolt
snappec. A new lock of the same type manufacture was installed on the closet
door by the basehouse keeper on 7 December 1963.
On the night of ? December 1963, PARMUTH was requested by

with SWINEHART's satisfaction. Although the Consulate door was closed to lhe
public for a period of six days for unknown reasons as of the night of 17 December
1963, tests were made using the SEQUENCE camera photographing people walking
by the Consulate door. The camera worked well and produced good printable
negatives. On the morning of 18 December 1963, L-22 contacted PARMUTH and
explained that the Consulate door was now open to the public and receiving
visitors as of 1010 that day. PARMUTH and SWINEHART joined L-22 shortly
later at the LIERODE basehouse and found that the camera system was working

traffic entering and leaving the front gate of the Embassy and is on duty from

another darkroom at the basehouse. L-22 will need a Morse Tank for processing
film, a drying rack, and a small PAKO dryer for finishing prints in order to
satisfy PBRUMFN requirements at the Station. Forwarded as enclosure 2 is

MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

1. On 27 March 1969, Mr. Sam Papich, FBI Liaison,
advised MI. Houston that the FBI office in New York stated that
Herbert Itkin was reluctant to make a guilty plea in the two mis-
demeanor cases pending before the New York State court.
It was
the opinion of the FBI agents that Itkin could be persuaded to
accept this course of action but was merely negotiating at this
cone for westchester counte
time for federal assistance in the custody hearing in the family
Westchester County. Mr. Papich also stated that a
hearing was anticipated on the custody question, and Itkin at this
point was
suggesting that CIA's name be interjected into the
hearing to bolster his stature with the court.
2.
We have not been advised that the State of New York has
withdrawn its motion to remand from the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York, nor has any date
been set for Itkin to appear before the New York State court.
033. Mr. Kenneth Heinonen on 1 April 1969 called to advise
that
mother had suffered a massive heart
attack and was in a coma in a Boston hospital.03
had been
advised of his mother's illness and was scheduled to arrive in
Boston on the afternoon of 1 April. I explained to MI. Heinonen
the latest development with regard to Itkin's reluctance to accept
the are solution so to teen st, Morgenthau and
was not likely to be subpoenaed at this time to appear in any New
York litigation, it would be advisable for
to stay away
from New York
so that his name would not be reintroduced into
the Itkin
case.

CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY
WASHINGTON 23, D. C.
Applicant Information
Sheet No, 1
To all persons applying for employment
With the Central Intelligence Agencya
The paper lo the first step in applying for employment or consultant
status with the Central Intelligence Agency. No application may proceed
beyond this first step if the applicant is not in agreement with the
conditions stated below.
General Considerations:
1. The Nutional Security Act of 26 July 1947 (Public Law 253, 80th
Congress) which Greated the Central Intelligence Agency places upon the
Agency the responsibility:
"to advise the National Security Council In matters concerning
such intelligence activities of the Government departments and agencies
as relate to the national security:
b. "to make recommendations to the Notional Security Council
for the coordination of such intelligence activities of the depart-
ments and agencies of the Government as relate to the national
security:
c.
"to correlate and evaluate intelligence relating to thes
national security, and provide for the appropriate dissemination
of such intelligence within the Governments
d"to perform, for the benefit of the existing intclligence
agencies, such additional services of common concern as the National:
Security Council determines. can be more efficiently accomplished
centrally: S
06.
"to perform such other functions and duties related to
intelligence affecting the national security as the National Security
Council may from time to time direct!
---
## Page 80
The special charäcter of this national responsibility requires the Agency
to.maintain.corréspondingly special employment criferia which may.be
different. from the routine or normal employment standards of other Govern
ment departments and agencies which do not have the highly sensitive rest
ponsibility borre by the Central Intelligence Agency. It follows that the
investi
ration
or applicante
pre requisite to their acceptance is a time
consuming process which in addition to loyalty and security checks-
includes
uation of competence, physical and emotional fite and
a vai
Lity
of a suitable position at such time as employment may be offered.
This is called clearance" of an applicant.
estigation of an applicant may reveal something which prevents
bis clearance
perhaps something of which the applicant is genuinely unaware
perhaps something which only the speciel employment criteria of the agency
make unacceptable. In any event, adverse findings by the Agency are con-
clusive and final'so far as the Agency is concerned, and no statement of
specific reasons is made to the applicant.
3. Employment by the Central Intelligence Agency is not a right upon
which an applicant can insist, Offer of employment which is subject to full
Clearance does not constitute a commitment on the Agency's part giving an
unsuccessfuf applicant grounds for any claim against the Agency, Acceptance
of employment upon the condition of elearance is at the applicant's risk.
faken with the knowledge that a very substantial percentage of applicants
are hot cleared.
Statement of Understanding
and Agreement
I have read, understand, and agree to the foregoing General Conside
erations. If not accepted for employment by the Central Intelligence
Agency, I will make no claim or demand in conflict with those consid-
erations.
I have also seen and read Applicant Information Sheet No. 2:

MM 105-9002
sinking of a Cuban vessel as claimed by OSAC, which
translation is included in the body of this report, was
furnished by Lieutenant KROGERS. He advised the trans-
lation is, in fact, an intercept made by the Foreign
Information
Broadcast Service. QD(u)
The following sources were contacted concern-
ing OSAC, with negative results:
Born Hov.12, 1917
Source of Information JUAN MACHADO on 6/16/64 Cardenas, Cuba

Juan AurelioXiesa Rodriquez
[MM 639-S on 6/26/64J0<14)
Juan M
•Rodriquer
With respect to the identity of JUAN. MESA, it
appears he is identical to JUAN MESA RODRIGUEZ, who as
p.c.
Tow
Nic
of June, 1963, resided at 1868 S.W. 13th Street,
Miami;
Florida, and who was reported to the Miami Office at
that time to be operating a short wave radio station at
that address. [Contact was made on July 16, 1963 with
Jof CIA, Miami, at which time he advised
that JUAN MESA RODRIGUEZ was of operational interest to
his agency; was residing at 1868 S.W. 13th Street with
his family, and was out of the country as of July 16,
1963, and not expected to return until July 24, 1963.
This information is set forth in Miami file 105-7969.760GP(W)
Efforts to locate a file on JUAN MESA in the
files of U.S. INS, Miami, have thus far met with negative
results. MESA, as described by MM I-l, is a man in his
early 40s, who had a radio business in Cuba and who
speaks Spanish and English fluently.
On July 13, 1964, POLLY ANDREW, Southern Bell

It is to be noted that MM Tol of this report
is an officer in the anti-CASTRO organization, Frank
Pais Revolutionary Movement (FPRM). He has advised
that in addition to being personally acquainted with
JUAN MESA, MESA has sought to include him in the acti-
vities of

exile man power, which MM I-l states have various skills
which might be utilized by OSAC. One such person is

MM T-1 has stated he has the impression that
considerable financial support is being received by
OSAC from American citizens, and he is not clear as to
the motivation. He stated that he also has the im-
pression that the operations of OSAC are being conducted
through liaison with CIA, [He stated he is aware that

On July 13, 1964, MM T-1 accompanied Agent:
in an attempt to locate the home where the OSAC meet-
ing of July 8, 1964 occurred. MM T-l pointed out the
at the southwest corner of Douglas
Road and Stewart Avenue, in Coconut Grove, Miami. MM T-1
stated he believed this was a CIA "safe house,' because (S
no one seemed to live there, although it was furnished
and contained several telephones.
Also on July 13, 1964, MM I-l pointed out
the residence at 743 Sistina, Coral Gables, Florida, as
the home at which he believed one of the American
attorneys was dropped off after attending the meeting
at the house in Coconut Grove.
The September, 1963 telephone directory lists
MELVIN MY GREENBERG, an attorney with office in the
duPont Building, Miami, as resident at 743 Sistina,
Coral Gables.) Fla.
In addition to the foregoing, MM T-1 advised
that he believes that Cuban exile ENRIQUE, CASADOX CUERVO,
Bureau file 105-68231, Miami file 105-8032, may be work-
ing with OSAC out of Puerto Rico. He said he deduced
this inasmuch as there had been reference by JUAN MESA
to ARGELIO (LNU), the friend of CASADO.
It is to be noted that the Miami file on
CASADO reflects he has a close friend named ARGELIO
GONZALEZ, and also that CASADO had a boat named the
ESCATUTA•
The Miami file further reflects that ENRIQUE
CASADO as of June, 1964, was residing at Las Flores,#300

On July 21, 1964, STANLEY SCHACHTER, U.S.
Customs, Miami, advised he
possessed no information
concerning OSAC and he did not know of any boats which
JUAN MESA might have an interest in.
On July 21, 1964, Captain JOHN LOWRY, Merrill-
Stevens Drydock Company, 1270 N.W. 11th Street, Miami,
Florida, advised he is well acquainted with all the
vessels given berth in Merrill-Stevens facilities in
Miami, but had no knowledge of a boat fitting the des
cription of 75 to 80' which was berthed at 17th
Avenue and the Miami River, according to information
received from MM T-1 of this report.
Captain LOWRY
also advised he was not familiar with the name JUAN
MESA.
On July 22, 1964, MM I-I said he believed
OSAC may be utilizing MARCELINO GARCIA of MIRR to ob-
tain a bomb or torpedo. He said GARCIA is secretive
but apparently has contact with someone, Cuban or
American, in the Carolinas whereby he may be able to
obtain a
bomb or torpedo.
MM T-1 was advised that on July 20, 1964, JUAN
MESA and "TONY" ARANGO were interviewed at approximately
9:00 AM and 3:00 PM, respectively. MM T-1 said he
planned to tell MESA he was visited by an FBI Agent,
name unknown, on July 20, 1964, and was worried because
of questions
about OSAC, although revealing nothing to
Agent.
This arrangement is believed desirable for pro-

37. (Confidential - PG) LIAISON Received a telephone call
from Michael Glennon, Legal Counsel, Senate Foreign Relations
Subcommittee on International Operations, who was following up on a
request he made on 4 November for a copy of the secrecy oath which
former DCI Richard Helms had signed. I told Mr. Glennon that I was
checking this out with the appropriate elements of CIA and hoped to
have an answer for him by the following day.
38. (Internal Use Only - PG) LIAISON Spent the better part
of the afternoon in the Coordination & Review staff conference room with
Michael J. Hershman, Deputy Staff Director, Subcommittee on
International Organizations, House International Relations Committee.
Also present were DDO representatives Evalina Vidal,
(for only the beginning of the meeting) and
We discussed
the Subcommittee's request to make certain CIA information public
and Mr. Hershman gave us a summary he had prepared for the use of
Members at upcoming public hearings. Mrs.
will review the
summary and sanitize it as necessary. The remainder of the session
was spent in an exchange of views as to CIA's role in ongoing
Congressional investigations of ROK/KCIA and related subjects.
39. (Internal Use Only - RJK) LIAISON Spoke with Lot Cooke,
on the staff of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, concerning
William R. Harris, a consultant with the Committee who also works
for the Rand Corporation. Since Harris has already been briefed at
Rand on compartmented clearances, it will not be necessary for him to
receive a briefing on them at this time.
Jack Williamson, SO/DCI,
has been advised.
Cooke also requested the clearances held by Professor G. Robert
Blakey,: Chief Counsel and Director, House Select Committee on
Assassinations, and Gary Cornwell, of the staff, because they wish to
review a sensitive Committee document. After checking with Dan Godar,
OS, I advised him that they had their proper clearances for reviewing
the documents.
40. (Unclassified - RSG) LIAISON Spoke with Betsey Wolf,
House Select Committee on Assassinations staff, and offered to send to
her a copy of the document she reviewed here yesterday. The document
was an index of Freedom of Information Act exemptions on documents
infeturn the assassination of President John I. Kennedy.

Gerald Patrick
On 9 June 1969
contacted Staff and Operations Branch/Operational Evaluation
Section for information concerning Gerald Patrick HEMMING.
was referred to the writer, who is holding the HerMING
file.
When
contacted the writer,
advised that he
is the action officer for a cable from
the
Station
reporting an assassination plot on the life of President
LAUGERUD of Guatenala.
was unfamiliar with the case of
Gerald Patrick
HEWING and had not as yet reviewed the 201 file
on HEMMING.
was requested to alert
and JMWAVE
to the below mentioned cable and to provide the writer with a
copy of the report coming in from the
Station.
2.
provided the writer with a copy of the cable
(IN 944357,
which is attached. In substance,
_;, dated & June 1976),
the cable reflects that
circa 8 June 1976
a Guatenalan source, with the knowledge of
Guatemalan President LAUGERUD, provided the
Station
a written report, and a detailed briefing, concerning a plot
to assassinate President LAUGERUD.
According to the informa-
tion the plot was to have been carried out on 15 September
1975; however, 'one of the major conspirators, Jorge Antonio
"Cokie" ZIMERI Safie left Guatemala in August 1975 as a result
of an attack upon his, ZIMERI's, life. ZIMERI has been living
in Miami since August 1975.
3.
According to the report, the National Liberation
Movement was involved with ZIMERI
in the assassination plot
and ZIMERI in turn was
involved with two Americans, brothers,
Robert and Gerald Patrick HEMMING. - The
HEMMING brothers
assisted ZIMERl in acquiring arms, among other things, which
were flown to Guatemala in a small aircraft.
The report also
claims. that ZIMERI has close relations with police officials
in Miami and New Orleans.

NOTE: The
also included
information the
had received
from
on
• 8 June.
said that he
had seen providing information on ZIMERI to the
Guatenalan government for the past six months or
50.
He claimed that two Americans were involved
with ZIMERI. one of them who runs a guard service
in Miami.
did not mention names but
described one of the Americans as about six feet
four inches and weighing about 230 pounds.
4.
The Guatemalan report of the assassination plot ends
with five requests for information by President LAUGERUD:
a. Is ZINERI still in the United States?
b. In the event ZIMERI is not in the United
States legally, deport him to Guatemala.
c.
Is ZINERI recruiting merceraries in the
United States for possible use in
Guatemala?
d.
DoeS ZIMERI receive any kind of preferen-
tial treatment by U. S. authorities which
permit him to carry firearms, as well as
to purchase arms and ammunition for
shipment to Guatemala?
e. Any information on Robert and Gerald
HEMMING?
5.
On 19 June 1976
advised
that DDO is referring the entire matter to the FBI and State
Department.
6. Office of Security indices are negative in pertinent
variations of the name of ZIMERI or Robert HEMMING.
1. From the name, physical description,
activity, and
alleged employment, it is apparent that Gerald Patrick HEMMING
is identical with the subject of Office of Security file
429 229, who has been described as six-foot five, 250 pounds,
who is
a notorious mercenary and soldier of fortune and who as
of May 1975 was ostensibly employed by a private investigation
company, TEPCOL Security (Office of Security--no record) in
Miami, Florida.

8.
Gerald Patrick HEMMING is well known to this Agency,
the Office of Security Miami Field Office, and JWAVE.
On
numerous occasions since at least the early 1960's, HE MINC
nad claimed Agency affillation when in fact there has bes
none -
The most recent incident wherein HEMMING claimed such
affiliation was in May 1975 when he volunteered his services
to the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Gerald Patrick HEMMING
is a long-time cohort of Frank Anthony STURGIS (SF#353 459),
the late 1950's HEMMING and STURGIS, both former U.S. Narines,
joined
• Fidel CASTRO in Cuba but returned shortly thereafter
claiming disillusionment with the CASTRO cause.
Soon thereafter,
STURGIS organized a group of mercenaries for Caribbean and
Central American activities which he named the International
Anti-Connunist Brigade.
A reported sub-unit of this "Brigade"
(the backers of whom have never been fully established) was
named the Intercontinental Penetration Force, headed by Gerald
Patrick HEMMING.
9.
For an appreciation of the possible ramifications of
a Guatemalan government expose of this assassination plot
involving HENMING, you are referred to attachments to instant
memorandum, to wit: a memorandum by the writer dated 10 June
1975 in the name of Frank STURGIS and Everett Howard HUNT, JI.;
and an'extract from a book published in early 1976 written by
Michae? CANFIELD and Alan 3. WEBERMAN. The book Coup ennedy
in America--The CIA and the Assassination of John F.
and AlaR Published in
is a diatribe against the Agency and attempts to link the Agency
with the assassination of President KENNEDY. One of the major
links attempted by the authors
through Everett Howard HUNT,
JI. to Frank STURGIS to Gerald Patrick HEMING to Loran Eugene
HALL.
• Loran Eugene HALL was a member of HEMMING's Interconti-
nental Penetration Force.
Loran Eugene HALL received nationwide
publicity in 1967 when New Orleans District Attorney "Jim"
GARRISON alleged that HALL (and the Intercontinental Penetration
Force) was involved in the assassination of President KENNEDY
and that members of this unit were connected with CIA. GARRISON
shortly thereafter dropped his interest in HALL, but it is
interesting that he did so after Gerald Patrick HEMMING and
another cohort, Robert K. BROWN, joined GARRISON's investigation.

(The committee reconvened 2:00 p.I., Hon. Louis Stokes,
chairman of the connittee, presiding.)
Present:
Representatives Stokes, Devine, Preyer, Burke,
Fauntroy, Dodd, Fithian and Edgar.
Also Present: Al Lewis; Staff Member; Bob Tanenbaum,
Staff Member; Richard Sprague; Staff Member; Jim Wolf, Staff
Member; Bob Lehner, Staff Member; and Thomas Howarth, Staff
Member.
The Chairman. The meeting will come to order.
sie
First, I might advise the members of the committee that
we have been in touch with the Rules Committee. We are advised
that in all probability, we will go before Rules at 2:00
o'clock on Monday and it will go to the. Floor Tuesday or
wednesday.
The format at this point has been discussed and it was
suggested that perhaps we might just go in with the presenta-
tion by myself and our Ranking Minority Member, Mr. Devine,
with Mr. Preyer and Mr. Fauntroy ready if they fire any ques-
tions in regard to the investigation and with the other
members just in a supportive back-up position. The thinking
being that in light of the briefing that took place the other
day and the highly sensitive nature of the investigatory
material that was given to them in all probability they are

not going to want to get into very much questioning on that
aspect.
so the less said about that in all probability is going
to be, they think, the best approach.
MI. Devine.. Mr. Chairman.
The Chairman. Mr.. Devine.
Mr. Devine. I am not sure it will be a problem, but
Mr. Anderson of Illinois mentioned this morning that one of
the 19 water projects that President Carter deferred or
eliminated happens to be in his district and there is a pub-
lic hearing in his district on Monday. I wish it were possible
for MI. Anderson to be at the Rules Committee when we appear
because he is very articulate and on our side.
I don't know
whether we can persuade him to neglect his constituency or
not, but we might keep that in mind in scheduling.
The young lady from Mr. Anderson's office, do you know
whether he is scheduled in Illinois on Monday?
Ms. Brown. I believe so, yes. I don't know how long
he will be there.
The Chairman. I agree with you, I think it is important
to try to have Mr. Anderson be here.. We will try to work
that out.
Do they have proxies in the Rules Committee?
Mr. Devine. I don't know whether they have proxies in
the Rules Committee or not.

Mr. Dodd. No, he has to be there.
Is there a problem?
Mr. Devine. His water project has been eliminated by
the President and he is having a meeting in his district.
Mr. Dodd. You can't use the proxy, I can tell you that.
I would like to see him there.
Mr. Devine. I would, too.
The Chairman. We will have to try to work that out.
Let us get back to the discussion of the report and
other matters
relating to the report.
Is everyone provided with a copy of the draft report?
We are open to discussion relative to this draft report. How.
much time do we have, Mr.. Sprague, in terms of being able to
revise and extend this report and prepare for final prepara-
tion?
Mr. Sprague. Mr. Chairman, I asked before we recessed
for lunch if I could have that time to take up with the
Printing office the matter of the printing of the transcripts
that have been turned over to you and the matter of the
printing of this report.
We have been advised that if we get to the Printing
Office by 6:00 p.I. this evening the transcripts, as corrected,

they will have them fully printed up for us this Friday

this report. It will be printed up for us this Friday morning.
If we are unable to do that, we can have the report
and/or the. transcripts for them by 6:00 p.I. tomorrow morning,
they will have either or both of those items printed up Monday
morning.
The Chairman. I guess this part of the whole equation
will be a question of whether some members will want to have
supplemental or additional views to submit in the report, also.
I assume they will prepare those.
Mr. fithian.
Mr. Chairman, will we need to take action
in the committee when we have a quorun to dispense with the
usual three days for minority views or for separate concurring
views?
The Chairman. I would imagine that we would have to,
in light of the time constraints here.
Mr. Fithian. I have no separate or dissenting views,
but I wanted to make sure we don't get tripped up on a techni-
cality.
The Chairman. I don't know whether everyone has suffi-
cient time to be able to get through these or not; to discuss
them.
MI. Preyer.
Mr. Chairman.
The Chairman. Mr. Preyer.

Mr. Preyer. If no one else has a comment, initially,
I would like to ask a couple of questions about the ending
part of the report.
I thought it would sound a lot more sterile than it
really sounds. It sounds more interesting or intriguing than
I thought it would.
I wonder about the Amlash incident? One reason I ask
is that I thought that incident which is not new, of course,
and so we can't take credit for developing all of that, it
gives us an opportunity to say a couple of those quotes there
along the lines that the process by which the intelligence
agency gathering went along has been compromised.
Therefore, to make the point which I probably over-
emphasized, that if we don't have to necessarily come out
with a new result in the Amlash case to justify, that whole
process is void, ab initio, and that is a good enough reason
for going ahead with it.
That Amlash case has sone good quotes on it. I wonder
why you left out Amlash in this.
Mr. Sprague. Mr. Preyer, my thinking there is that we
had made reference in the earlier report, the end of last
year, to the U.S. Senate Select Committee's statement. That
is in that earlier report, at least their statement, after
having gone into Amlash, and that to put that in here would
look almost like we were repeating it.

Mr. Preyer. You were considering both of these reports

together?
Mr. Sprague. Yes. As a matter of fact, in part of this
report we have made reference to material in the final report.
Mr. Preyer. I have one specific question. At the top
of page 12, the question about Ruby and Oswald. You say,
"The Committee staff has spoken with a witness."
Maybe we have just spoken with a witness, but is there
more than one witness on that subject?
Mr. Tanenbaum. No, that was the young lady that indi-
cated.
Mx. Preyer. There was a witness there who said that.
The other comment I would make, and I think it is impor-
tant, is that we emphasize where we can what is new and what
is not just a rehashing of old evidence. Like that one at
the top of page 12, necessarily you have to be very cautious
in that case, but that is a brand new witness, as I understand
it.

Mr. Tanenbaum. That is correct.
Mr. Preyer: I wonder there and in other instances where
you have a chance to emphasize that the staff came up with
this witness, he may have been known before but he never
testified before, if we could have emphasized he never testi-
fied, he is new and it is not a rehash, that would be good; I
think that makes
a good strong statement.

The Chairman. MI. Devine.
Mr. Devine. Mr. Chairman, perhaps I am overly sensitive
about the problems that this committee has had since its
conception until such time as you became chairman. I am a
little troubled by the wording of the first paragraph on page

• I
think we belabor that too much, going into too much
detail about all these budgetary restrictions, and I have
rewritten some language for paragraphs 1 and 2 that I think
would be less inflammatory and still do the job. Iwould
read like this.
"For technical and administrative reasons, the committee
had some delays in the course of the investigation. For
example; the committee did not have access to certain files on
the assassinations.for approximately two months; telephone
service was disconnected for the same period, preventing the
staff from maintaining contact with witnesses and potential
witnesses; and other problems which severely restricted the
committee in its investigative efforts."
"I don't think we should lean on the budgetary restric-
tions, because that is one of the problems that we have to
overcome in both the Rules Committee and on the Floor.
I don't think that we should talk about specifically
what our problems were. I think the language suggested would
probably tell the same story.

Then the next three-line paragraph, I don't like what
you say: "...many of the impediments have been removed,"
under the chairmanship of Mr. Stokes. I would like to have
them believe they all have been.
My suggestion on that is in line 2 of the second para-
graph strike out "many of" and "impediments" and insert
"problems" instead of "impediments" and strike out "removed"
and insert "resolved." That would read: "Under the chairman-
ship of Representative Louis Stokes, the problems have been
resolved and the investigations are now resuming in a
thorough manner."
I am not married to the language, Mr. Chairman, but I
think that it would be less provocative.
The Chairman. I agree with you.
The staff will take that into consideration.
Is there anything else?
Mr. Devine. That is all, Mr. Chairman. I scanned it
during the luncheon period. By and large, I think it will
do the job.
The Chairman: I wonder if I can sort of react to the
"Investigation" part here.
I guess, Mr. Sprague, I will direct the question to you
and. to Mr. Tanenbaum. I am concerned that with reference to
the investigatory material that appears in the report, that
we do not have the news media once again taking another shot

at us in the sense of their rehashing the same old stuff
which gives our opposition on the Floor the arguments that
they need. They will very hastily say to George Lardner or
some other author who is an authority on each one of these
investigations - I guess I am wondering whether that section
needs to be reworked or less data included, we need to make
more reference to the fact that there is within our possession
much more sensitive and highly volatile information that
just cannot be disclosed in light of this type of investiga-
tion and that type of thing.
I am just wondering whether we need to go this way.
Mr. Sprague. Mr. Chairman, that really hits the nub
of the problem, because to have something is going to cause
the problem; that it is so limited as to make it appear what
in the world is being done, and on the other hand, to just
have that it is so sensitive creates, I guess, the problem
that we are going to be criticized. Are we just hiding behind
a label and not disclosing?
what we have attempted to do and really part of the
reason that this has not been submitted to you, as I indicated
It would be on Monday, is that we have gone through a number
of drafts. What you have here is a tremendously toned down
version of what existed,. trying to really incorporate and put
into writing what
has been the comments and suggestions by
members of the committee.

MI. Devine. Mr. Chairman.
I think, Mr. Sprague, what concerns the Chairman and most
of us is that any material contained in this proposed report,
whether there is a balance between so-called new material
which has already been revealed in the Warren Commission
report and the Senate Intelligence Committee report - is it
all a rehash of those two things or is there enough new stuff
to show that we are not just rubber stamping or rehashing old
material?
Mr. Sprague. Part of the problem, Mr. Devine, is that
it is hard to say something is new as opposed to rehash;
because in fact people have read everything under the sun.
Somebody may well suggest, and I am sure has suggested, that
Ruby and Oswald had been in contact prior to the assassination.
Ruby knew Oswald. What is new, in a sense here from out
standpoint, is that we have located a witness who apparently
says that. The allegation may be old and in terms of proof
that may be nil.
Obviously in this investigation, one of the things that
we are doing is looking into what has been alleged to be able
to prove or disprove so that to go into what we
are doing is
going to, of necessity, raise things that have been raised
right along.. That is one of the reasons that we are doing it.
The Chairman. Here is what I have in mind.
Fron the two
documents that were prepared, final documents, we were able

to take those two documents along with the oral presentations
and we were able to convince both the leadership of the House
and most of the Rules Committee members that we were on to
something here that needs to be continued.
As a result of that, I doubt that the Rules Committee is
going to really want us to get into disclosing what we feel
we are on to here..
Now the question is in terms of this presentation here
will we get the same kind of result that we have gotten last?
Obviously we can't name names as we did the other day. I know
the media are sitting here waiting to tear us apart on this
report, and we have to out-think them.
I am just wondering, are we hurting ourselves with this
approach here
right now?
MI. Sprague.: Mr. Chairman, I really don't know what
else could be included.
I am struck by the fact that MI.
Preyer, in reading the Kennedy aspect, said it came out
stronger than he thought it would. From that standpoint, I
would assume that It would be somewhat helpful. To limit it
further raises the problem that if we are going to be attacked,
that we obviously are not doing much.
The Chairman. You don't see a problem here revealing
this much?
Mr. Preyer. I think it is a problem all right, as you
have outlined it.

The Chairman. I think we can make a statement that
there are in both cases witnesses who have talked to investi-
gators who have never been interviewed before, never given
statement before, substantive in nature, and so forth.
Mr. Preyer. I am wondering what is new, looking through
the Kennedy thing, and is not a rehash.
on page 11, second paragraph, "Oswald was associated
with anti-Castro groups." There is new evidence on this,
isn't there; it has not been rehashed?
Mr. Sprague. That is correct.
Mr. Preyer®
The second paragraph; the Hunt letter is
new. That has just recently surfaced.
on page 12, top paragraph, that is new. In other words;
the first three paragraphs, each I think can be defended as
new evidence.
Trafficante, I don't know whether that witness surfaced
before or not that we are talking about now.
The Chairman. What would trouble me on page 12 is that
the committee
"received information, not yet corroborated."
I think the news media would take you apart on that;
"received information, not yet corroborated." What does that
mean?
Mr. Preyer. I wonder if we should not make some blanket
statement at the outset or at the close of it that we empha-
size these are all leads; they nave not been subjected to

cross-examination or polygraph test or the usual test of
corroboration, but they are the kinds of things that are so
important, if true, that they must be run down, that we should
be allowed to corroborate and cross-examine them.
I think we would be making a mistake to try to give an
impression that these things are all true. Then if they
blow up in our face, we will really be in trouble.
Mr. Dodd. I think your point is well taken.
Possibly in the very beginning, I think we get ourselves
into a box where one puts the purpose of support? Are we
supposed to be able, in the period of time we have been in
existence, to come up with corroborated, conclusive evidence
that would convince the Congress we should go forward?
I think everyone in the Congress knows what difficulty
this committee has had over the past couple of months. The
language would have to be chosen carefully. I think if you
stated at the outset what the purpose of the report was and
that was to bring up to date the members of Congress with
regard to the activity of the committee, the hurdles that they
have had to overcome and so forth, and not allow ourselves to
be put in the position of trying. to defend the material we
have with conclusive evidence which has not been brought up
at one time in the past - I see us getting into a situation
where we are really boxed in.
Mr. Preyer.: If we could disarm the press at the outset

by saying "Sure, this is uncorroborated."
We will say it has raised questions and we have to run
it down.
Mr. Dodd. We don't want to get ourselves in a position
of saying we have not been able to get into this stuff and it
is thoroughly because of our problems, which is one thing we
have been saying, which is a fact, which is true, and then to
also come forward with evidence that we have had an opportunity
to examine thoroughly, that is contradictory.
I think we ought to make to clear in the beginning that
is not our intention in this report, to defend necessarily
that kind of evidence being fact.
The Chairman. It may
• be that we can approach it from
the viewpoint of saying, we refer back to the time that the
committee was originally constituted, it was constituted as
a direct result of the unanswered questions that were apparent
as relates, to both these deaths.
Obviously, the short period of four months or so that
this committee has been constituted, these questions are still
unanswered and we are in the process, within the limited
time we have had of developing the leads and other information
that has come to us and that I think we can say that some of
the leads and information that have come to us have never
before surfaced, without being sensational or wrong, but to
show that there is an ongoing progressive state of an

investigation. In that regard, I think, further, we can say
that obviously there are things we cannot include in this
report because of the sensitive nature of the investigation.
MI. Sprague: Mr. Chairman, I thought we really had, in
a sense, responded to what is being raised now, because on
page 2 at the beginning we do say in the bottom paragraph;
"While the committee believes that the new leads must be
vigorously pursued, we emphasize the fact that it is impossible
to predict whether the information will be provén reliable
and capable of verification. The investigations are in their
infancy and, therefore, the committee cannot submit verifiable
conclusions with. respect to the assassinations before the.
inquiry is completed and the evidence gathered, tested and
corroborated."
I thought that would address itself to what Mr. Preyer
was saying in the beginning.
The reason in the latter part dealing with Trafficante
on page 12 where it says, "The committee has received infor-
mation, not yet corroborated," was that we wanted to keep the
credibility of this committee at the highest level; and even
though there is that statement at the beginning, we thought
it well to reemphasize that with regard to that particular
information so as not to be caught off base, because I would
hate to get in the posture for this committee where we are
making one statement with a number of others and then somebody

goes out and proves that one statement is untrue and that
giving an implication that everything else is down the drain
as well.
That is why I thought we covered really what you are
raising here.
Mr. Dodd. I am suggesting rather than that, that should
be the first paragraph. That is out immediately. This is
the first thought that is in this report that we are not, in
effect, saying that it is in its infancy, we have not had a
chance or opportunity to corroborate all the evidence and
testimony come forward because of the obvious restraints the
committee has operated under, and so forth. I think that
ought to be the first thing that we say.
I think that, in a sense, will get us off the hook of
having to defend each and every statement that is in here with
regard to potential witnesses, evidence and so forth.
Mr. Sprague. We just want to be
very careful, like that
Trafficante-Ruby situation. We can put it more in the
beginning than we have it. We did not want it thought that
this committee representing the House of Representatives is
making the statement, nonetheless, because if things are not
put in a cautionary sense, it is going to have the weight of
this committee behind it and it ought not have that where we
are not able to say that definitively.

Mrs. Burke. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
Before we get too far along, I wanted to ask if it is
possible to clarify who Mr. Maheu was. We know, but every
time I have heard the name or the name said, I have heard
someone say "Is this the same Maheu?"
Could there be some sentence there explaining which
Maheu and the fact that I guess he testified to certain things
before the Church Committee?
Was it the Church Committee?
Mr. Sprague. That is correct.
I will certainly put in who he is and his statement
that he was in fact recruited for this purpose.
Mrs. Burke. The next thing I am saying is something I
am not sure about the reaction politically.
The allegation that we go on here, the CIA, FBI, and
various things. If I could argue both sides.
It does raise confirmation of suspicions that some people
have. On the other side, there are many people I find in the
House that, unless there is something that they can really
cling to, they are terrified by the idea of criticizing our
intelligence agency.
The statement, for instance, in here that Hoover tried
to mislead the Warren Commission. From my experience, and my
own experience relates to appropriations where we reviewed,
for instance, the CIA budget, where we took a vote there and

the majority of the members of that committee voted not to
know what was in the CIA budget, the idea being that there is
this terrible apprehension of criticizing those agencies.
So, I just want to raise the question, realizing that
maybe the people who feel that way would never vote for us
anyhow, which is a possibility, but I am not sure, and I
would just throw
that out, Mr. Chairman.
The Chairman. I think the gentlewoman's observations
are well taken.
The gentleman from Maryland said he had originally voted
for it, but now he understood that it would embarrass the FBI
and like that, he used the FBI in his objections the last time.
He opposed the
resolution.
I think that is something we might rethink, in light of
that knowledge. What we wind up doing is one thing, but it
might not be necessary for us to telegraph it.
Mr. Sprague.
May I respond, Mr. Chairman and Mrs. Burke?
We put it in, and it is on page 14 really dealing with
"The committee has obtained evidence suggesting the actual
destruction of evidence."
That, in fact,, is something that is known and that the
Federal Bureau of. Investigation has admitted. It is not a
disclosing of something unknown there. It seems to us that
not putting in a matter that is concerned with the connection
between Oswald and the FBI, when it already is an area that is

In the public domain and questions have been raised, would
lead to the question why is it not mentioned since you are
mentioning different things? That is the reason for that.
It seems to us that everything we do is going to be
reviewed, subject to analysis. If this is an area involved
in the investigation, if there is a feeling of not putting it
in now because, let us say, someone might attack us on it, I
query how thorough will be the investigation if there is a
concern like that and something that is publicly known.
the
second part dealing with the misleading statements,
again, that is not based really on witness's statements.
That happened to be something that is predicated upon the
actual documents that exist.
Mrs. Burke. If this is in the public domain, I would
think it should be stated specifically; rather than "The
committee has information" it should be saying that evidence
has already been corroborated or there have already been
statements before connittees that Oswald had a link with the
CIA. If we have it in the public domain, I think it should
be specifically stated.
The Chairman. Mi. Tanenbaum, isn't that in the warren
Commission report?
Mr. Tanenbaum. What is in the report is that Oswald
had some pro-Castro views. There is nothing there that
Indicates that he had links to the CIA, that we have, namely,

through Feliciano. That is new; it is not in the public
domain.
The Chairman. I thought the Warren Commission sent
their counsel to J. Edgar Hoover for the purpose of his mak-
ing Inquiry as to whether Oswald was one of their agents or
not.

Mr. Tanenbaum.
That
happened in executive session on two
occasions in January 1964.
The Chairman. Mr. Fithian.
Mr. Fithian. I share some of the concerns of Mrs. Burke.
I am wondering if, on page 14, we might not want to do
it slightly differently. I think that we ought to indicate
at the beginning of that paragraph at. the top of the page
that "It has already been established that," or some such
wording, if that is the case, and then I am wondering if we
might not drop the rather accusative paragraph which follows
involving the CIA, et cetera, "must be fully scrutinized."
It does seem to cast this whole inquiry and investigation
'into sort of an investigation of the FBI and CIA. Some
aspects of those two agencies obviously have come into review.
I am wondering if we need to irritate those members who
otherwise might go along with us. I have found one of the
more effective arguments. with some members of the House is to
argue the case that we ought to clearly delineate, in the
course of this investigation, exactly what administrative

procedures were and were not followed by agencies of the
government in order to establish whether or not there is
need for legislative remedy. One of the things we do not
point to in this report -- maybe we don't want to; maybe
that is jumping the gun — but it does seem to me to be a
very convincing justification for this committee as a
Congressional committee to review those procedures and to
conclude sometime down the line that we ought to mandate
that in times of national emergency or assassination of a
President or a national leader that certain things would, of
necessity, be done by these agencies; that all information
would be immediately transmitted to duly constituted investi-
jative bodies; or some such thing.
For a lot of them who are uncertain as to ecactly what
role either of these agencies was and there are those in the
House who fall on both sides of that, they can all agree that
if this investigation demonstrates a breakdown in the normal
process, then it might well be the responsibility of this
committee to recommend some legislation correcting the process.
and that is not necessarily digging up the bones of J. Edgar
Hoover; It is looking down the road ahead to prevent some
breakdown in the process.
I am wondering if we might not want to drop words like
"scrutinize," et cetera, and recast that in such a way that
it simply indicates we are going to review all of these

processes and where they demonstrate or prove to have broken
down we may want to subsequently recommend legislative remedy.
That is not proving who killed JFK or Martin Luther King.
It is an entirely different thrust.
Mr. Tanenbaum. I think a point has to be made here.
That is what we are not simply saying from what we know that
J. Edgar Hoover whispered in somebody's ear something that was
significant; that CIA made a mistake in filing a report,
we think during the course of the investigation we are going
to look into those kinds of problems.
The two areas we have with the FBI and CIA are véry
significant. In fact, J. Edgar lied about a very important
witness concerning their own assassin; Oswald. CIA misrepre-
sented also about Lee Harvey Oswald; his alleged trip to
Mexico City.
It seems to me that people who otherwise might not vote
for this committee because they think there might be a
problem in those areas might be very hard pressed, when
confronted with the report, that documents based upon their
own documentation, not witnesses that we have but upon things
that they have themselves, that we were able to put together,
they will be very. hard pressed on the merits publicly to vote
against the committee that has demonstrated unequivocally
that both of these agencies significantly played a role in
covering up, acquiescing or participating in the assassination

of the President.
Mr. Fithian. Why don't we say "based on documents in
possession of these agencies"? In other words, we are not
now drafting this from newspaper accounts. It would strengthen
it if we say "based upon documents in the possession of these
agencies."
I am still wondering, instead of saying all this
scrutiny business, that we might not hint at some legislative
remedy. I know as an investigator you don't worry about what
we might do later on in offering a bill before Congress, but
that might well be the action of this committee.
Mr. Tanenbaum. Absolutely. I do think that it is very
important that we ourselves maintain our own integrity with
regard to this.
I agree with Mr. Stokes, there is no need to telegraph
a play that may be called sometime in the future. This is a
very fundamental issue and that is part of what we have
already found. For us to sidestep it now, it seems to me, is
not to
really play
fair and square with people who are in
the opposition.
If they still wish to vote against us, knowing that we
have documentation about significant major importance, power-
ful misrepresentations and cover-ups, then let the record be
so stated that they voted against it knowing that, rather
than just simply saying that we are going to carefully

scrutinize or in any way politically, we can all agree.
This is too important to do that.
Mr. Preyer. I think the first paragraph does what you
are talking about. It sets out, it talks about information,
when corroborated. It talks about evidence.
I believe with Mr. Fithian on that second paragraph that
there you are drawing a conclusion rather than talking about
what we have in evidence. From a political point of view, it
is going to antagonize some people, I am afraid. They will
say we are on a crusade against the FBI and CIA.
I don't see how we can lose anything to either strike
out the second paragraph or amend it in the form that Mr.
Fithian has suggested. We are not trying to hide from any-
body that we have evidence and information that they are
involved.
The Chairman. The staff can take those suggestions in
mind and work that over.
-Mr. Sprague. Mr. Chairman, we can omit that second
paragraph.
Mr. Devine.
As a postscript. to what has been said
about that, I think it should be in our final report, but it
can be inflammatory to those persons who are looking for
excuses to vote against us.
We have to survive in order to get to the point to
establish those things. It is not essential that this be

retained at this point; I think it had better go out.
Mr. Sprague. I think it is easy to omit that second
paragraph altogether.
Mr. Fithian. Mr. Chairman, a small technical matter.
On page 10, which has the budget, would it not be helpful
to put an asterisk behind that final figure at the bottom and
indicate in the footnote that this figure includes the repay-
ment of the $254,000 for the funds already expended during
the January to March period?
Those of us who work with these figures so much now
know that is the case, but I think it might be helpful to
other members who are reviewing the budget to know when they
see the one page that has the budget in it, that that total
figure at the bottom included the January-February-March
repayment of funds already expended.
Mr. Sprague. Mr. Chairman, may I bring to Mr. Fithian's
attention that the paragraph just preceding that budget
figure ends with the following statement:
"We submit for the consideration of the members of the
House the following summary of our proposed budget of 1977,
which includes the funds."
MI. Fithian.. What I am saying is if somebody is bothered
with the budget, they don't read the rest of the report.
They say "That is $2,796,000. I thought the Speaker was in
favor of $2.5 million" -- bang.

Mr. Sprague. We can easily put an asterisk and put that
specific thing under it.
Mr. Anderson. Mr. Chairman, I have a brief comment, if
you have not passed the point of discussing page 10 of the
report.
I think that, to some extent, this very, very skeletal
outline of the budget leaves a little bit to be desired. I
am wondering why it can't be fleshed out with just a little
bit more detail.
You have a figure here of almost $2 million forsalaries,
and nothing more. I don't know, I could be wrong, but I
think when the members learn that in lieu of the original
contemplated staff of 170 that you are down to 115 and they
are going to be phased in gradually over a period of time
from the present level of 73, that I would explain that a
little bit, I think, and adjust a little bit more detail on
the budget.
The Chairman. Maybe that reconciliation sheet that you
worked on this morning might be the way to do that.
MI. Preyer: One suggestion has been that we put the
budget plus the reconciliation statement plus some of the
comments on how we got the six and a half million to $2.7
million that was made this morning into the Congressional
Record, print the whole detailed budget in the Congressional
Record. I think your point is a good one.

Looking at that cold there, it looks bare.
Mr. Anderson. At least on the salary item, I would like
to see a little more detail.
The Chairman. Where is Tom Howarth?
Mr. Sprague. I think he is working on budget for the
Appropriations Committee right now, Mr. Chairman, but we can
follow through on that.
The Chairman. Mrs. Burke.
Mrs. Burke. Mr. Chairman, how many staff members did the
Watergate Committee have?
Mr. Devine. In addition to the staff members, they had
the total cooperated of all the FBI, Secret Service and the
State Department and everybody else. I don't know the number
of persons on the staff payroll. I think it is in our ori-
ginal report.
Mr. Sprague. Are you talking about Warren Commission
or Watergate?
Mrs. Burke. Watergate.
Mr. Sprague. Watergate, I do not know.
Mrs. Burke. The Judiciary inquiry, Impeachment Committee?
MI. Sprague. I have a recollection somewhere of 120.
Mrs. Burke. This is one of the things that was raised
with me by some of the people who served on that committee,
and I was trying to get
the correct figures.
Mr. Sprague. We can get that. It is 1l0.

Mrs. Burke. I think it is good for us to know.
The Chairman. Mr. Fithian.
Mr. Fithian. Mr. Chairman, I would suggest that in our
own handling of this, that we point out or emphasize in our
discussions the point Mr. Dodd raised; the fact that there
are two investigations going on, so any members we have can
be divided by two.
I am wondering if we might not follow up so that the
staff has very specific instructions on what Mr. Anderson
has raised with regard to fleshing out the budget. I am very
much in favor of the total budget we discussed this morning
and Mr. Preyer's remarks going into the Congressional Record.
I don't know how much is appropriate to include in here,
although I am not one to worry about duplication of places
that members of Congress could find to read this thing,
because if we tried to get at them both through the Congres-
sional Record and this, they will think there is something
wrong with it.
I am wondering if we could give the staff some very
specific direction as to how much of the budget and how much
of the material you are going to. put in the Congressional
Record is going to be printed on pages 10 and succeeding
pages.
Mr. Preyer. One thing that occurs to me is that we could
print the new budget here and put a column of the original

budget beside it so that you could see how much salary had
been reduced and so forth, and that would give you the oppor-
tunity to then put a page of comment under salaries and
explain that this reduction came about by reducing to a total
115 from the original total, and that sort of thing.
Mr. Fithian. And then perhaps some comment at the
bottom that would indicate that anyone who wants to peruse
the entire budget and explanation of it should see pages
X, Y, Z in the Congressional Record of such and such a date.
I think we are not giving too clear a road map where
they can find the information. They are all pressed for time
as we are. If we have in there, indicating on pages whatever
it is, in tomorrow's Congressional Record they can find the
entire budget, at least it cuts the ground out from under them
by saying in the course of the debate, "well, you don't pre-
sent us with enough information on this budget to know whether
to support you or not."
It arms us a little better for the debate if we do that.
The Chairman. I suppose the headlines will be, "The
committee cut the Sprague budget by $4 million, anyway."
Mr. Sprague. The committee cut Sprague.
Mr. Fithian.
I see here Item 3, "Consulting Services."
It seems to me that at our task force meeting, Mr. Chairman,
we had some discussion about spelling out something there,
about experts or something, forensic services, scientific

services, so that it did not sound like it was a sludge fund
for consultants, knowing the way the House operates.
MI. Dodd. Mr. Chairman, I have gone through the report
and have a bunch of little technical changes and some that
are a little more substantive.
I wonder if we might start with some of those.
The Chairman. Sure.
Mr. Dodd. On page 1, second paragraph after the words
"Martin Luther King, JI.," for clarity's sake you talk about
"despite the eight years since these final conclusions were
reached" and so forth.
On page 2 at the very bottom this language might go
toward the front. "The investigations are in their infancy
and, therefore, the committee cannot submit verifiable con-
clusions with respect to the assassinations."
I would change the language to read, "Before all the
evidence is gathered, tested and corroborated, and inquiry is
completed."
"---***

three, I have a question on the very first sentence,
"While the committee is pursuing new information, it has also
undertaken to initiate an exhaustive de novo investigaion of
the assassinations."
It seems to me from the Rules Committee discussion and
others is this to be a de novo investigatation or are we going
to be relying on testimony, evidence and so forth? Maybe I

still unclear. I thought this was not going to be a completely
de novo investigation. That is a fundamental question. I
thought we were going to be in with those things already
established, we are not going to go back to the very first •
moment in time.
Mr. Sprague. Mr. Chairman, I think that is a pretty
fundamental question. I have been under the assumption that
we are going back to ground level number one, because part of
the problem that would exist if it is not de novo is how do
we know that which is in fact so?
We must start at the beginning. There are, obviously,
things along the way that have been established; there there
is not going to be any difficulty in our reestablishing. But
it seems to me that is where we start.
Mr. Dodd. Maybe I am suggesting that thereis some
language after that sentence which would say, in effect, just
what you have said that obviously, where evidence has been
established as being conclusive, the committee is not going out
to reestablish that evidence.
The Chairman. Will the gentleman yield to me?
MI. Dodd. Sure.
The Chairman. I suppose what you are saying by eliminat-
ing the words de novo you could say "initiate an exhaustive
investigation of the assassinations," which includes going
back to the beginning, wherever you have to. I think de novo

Mr. Dodd. That is a kind of fuse word language to our
colleagues, to hear the word de novo.
Mr. Fauntroy. I wonder if I may speak to that.
I have not had an opportunity to read this, but it seems
to me what has been effective in my discussions with other
members has been to say that the committee is actually active
in two areas.
First, that we are identifying documents, evidence,
names and locations of witnesses and the like that are
available to us through both state, local and federal agencies
We are identifying that.
And that we are also, secondly, and I hope this language.
is included in this draft, we are also in the process of
looking at new and previously unpursued leads.
With those two things on the way, obviously we have to
do, in my judgment, a de novo investigation. Once we have
in hand everything that everybody has that we have looked at,
then we do the
investigation and come right up.
Secondly, in the process I have been saying, we are
doing it. Like being eut off from the FBI files; we are
looking at all of them. In the meantime, there have been
some new leads.
What perks up people, in my judgment, is when you say

new and unpursued leads. I would hope that we hold to the
idea of doing the investigation but having in hand when we
do it, when we go to sit down at ground zero and say that we
are at the Rainbow Motel, we know everybody else who was
there and where they are.
i....
The Chairman. You would agree with Mr. Dodd's reasons?
Mr. Fauntroy. Make it de novo.
Mr. Dodd. The last paragraph on page 3,
"Now that the
committee has adopted rules of procedure and proposed a bud-
get, we are ready to continue."
I am changing the word "concentrate" to "continue." I
think the concept should be woven through the entire report
that this is a continuing function we are undergoing and not
something we are concentrating on. Change the word
"concentrate" to "continuing."
On page 4 -- and this was raised by Mr. Fithian in part --
at the beginning of that Section II A, I would like to
+--+-=---
include here and anywhere else the staff may find helpful,
this restated concept of legislative action at the conclusion
of this inquiry:
Again, from a Judiciary Committee standpoint, one of
their major concerns is that our resolution and our efforts
be designed ultimately to result in legislation to come out
of this committee, not just a criminal investigation. The
language I have added here is, "The task of investigating

these two murders, especially as they relate to identifying
possibly future legislative action by Congress was commenced
under resolution," and so forth.
I will read it again. After the words "two murders,"
"especially as they relate to identifying possibly immediate
future legislative action by the Congress." That is something
I feel we should emphasize, the legislative intent, because
it is one of the major criticisms we face.
On page 5, paragraph B, "The 95th Congress," going down
to the beginning of the third sentence with the words
"thereafter," after "February 2, 1977." "Thereafter, on
March 8, 1977, Congressman Louis Stokes was appointed
Chairman by the Speaker of the House of Representatives and
the committee was again reorganized and continued to pursue
the investigation."
Again the word "continuance." This is the period, that
month, that I think is important so far as I have understood
it, that even though the phones were cut off and even though
the access was eliminated to the FBI, the staff was still
working, research was being done and so forth.
I think it might be important that during that month's
period, the emphasis was on continual operation; crippled
though it was, it was still a continuing investigation.
Mrs. Burke. There is no mention here of the former
Chairman Gonzales. I think there are people who are

immediately saying "and they did not even mention his name."
Mr. Doda. .
We can put in subliminal cuts.
Mrs. Burke. I think we have to give some recognition
of the fact that he was the chairman at some time. Believe
me, there are a lot of people who are very sensitive on
this point, I am telling you, arguing and discussing and
rationalizing that we are trying to say that he has not been
just overlooked and slighted and everything else.
I think we have to put some reference that he was
chairman.
Mr. Fithian. I would suggest that perhaps we could
establish credit where credit is due very early in the report
on the creation of the committee, but saying in respect "In
response to the resolution proffered in the House by Henry
Gonzales (D) Texas, when he first introduced the resolution,"
which goes back a long way, "and Mr. Downing's resolution."
In other words, we can point to both their resolutions
as being the fathers -
Mrs. Burke. That is not true.
Mr. Fithian. I am not suggesting that we put anything
in that is not true.
MI. Fauntroy Explain:it to him.
Mrs. Burke. Those resolutions were introduced and those
resolutions were voted on and defeated in March 1976. The
only reason that those resolutions were passed was the

compromise reached on the resolution introduced by Mr.
Fauntroy •
It was a matter that the only reason the resolution
came up on there before the Rules Committee was that we had
obtained a change in position and support for another resolu-
tion just out of courtesy and we had to wait for the matter
of having an old resolution overlooked, that those resolu-
tions were brought up.
That is a very misunderstood point.
Mr. Fithian. To give
credit where credit is due in
including the Martin Luther King resolution?
Mrs. Burke. They were not before the House.
Mr. Fithian. As a member who came to the Congress
first just one term ago for many, many months whenever dis-
cussion of the investigation of reopening the warren
Commission came up, it is my clear impression that there was
only one name associated with that and that was Henry
Gonzales.
Mrs. Burke. All of that was over and it had been voted
upon and the whole matter was set to rest. It was only
brought up again in the context of the king resolution, and
this was a matter of just, really it was just a matter of
having a vehicle rather than just overlooking it.

Floor that is not understood, but that is the fact.
Mr. Fauntroy. I did attempt to explain to the former
chairman when he cut off access to the FBI materials by the
staff that he was overlooking the fact that the only reason
he had access was that I was kind enough to accept --
Mr. Dodd. Let us go off the record.
(Discussion off the record.)
Mr. Devine. "Congressman Louis Stokes was appointed
chairman by the Speaker of the House of Representatives
succeeding Henry B. Gonzales."
Strike out "and" and start the next sentence, "Immediately,
the committee was again reorganized."
The Chairman. Would
it not be better, Sam, if we said
this: "After February 2, 1977." "Upon adoption of this
resolution, Henry B. Gonzales was appointed chairman of the
committee." Then thereafter "on March 8th.".
Mr. Devine. Either way.
The Chairman. It follows a more logical sequence.
Mr. Devine. Either way.
The Chairman. Does that sound okay?
All right.
Mr. Dodd. The next paragraph on page 5, beginning with
the language, "One of the first actions was adoption of the
rules of procedure" and then this next sentence I have added
language, "This item was a major requirement of the House and

it is the committee's belief that these rules are outstanding"
and then I have added here other language: "in their recog-
nition of the requirement of due process, orderly investi-
gations and emphasis on strict controls of staff activities
and may become a model for investigative committees in the
future."
To repeat, after the word "outstanding, "
"in' their

investigations and emphasis on strict controls of staff acti-
vity."
In the next paragraph, "A task force of the committee
was appointed to consider the budgetary and staff require-
ments of the ensuing year. In addition, the committee
reaffirmed the decision to divide into two subcommittees."
Mr. Edgar. . If the gentleman will yield at this point
where you are reaffirming and dividing into two subcommittees,
I notice on the front page, the third page in, it is not
numbered, where it lists the members of the cormittee, it
lists our chairman and each of our members, I wonder, since
we have made the division, whether we ought not to put the
two names of our chief investigators into the king and
Kennedy assassinations to highlight to the members of the
House that not only is Dick Sprague the Chief Counsel, but in
fact Mr. Tanenbaum and Mr. Lehner are working as lead people.
I think it would be helpful for the rest of Congress

know that there are those two persons pursuing those two
independent investigations.
The Chairman. That can be done without any problem.
Mr. Sprague: Mr. Chairman, could we also include in
that the two chief investigators on this?
Mr. Edgar. I don't have any problem with that. I just
wanted some way of showing the substance of the number of
people who are on staff who are top staff personnel who are
pursuing the investigations.
Mr. Fithian. I think the value of doing what he is
suggesting is that it is a graphic way of saying there are
two investigations underway here which subconsciously may
affect or impact on some people who say, well, there are too
many staff, or whatever.
It would show at the outset that we have Mr. Tanenbaum,
Mr. Lehner and the chief investigator under that organiza-
tional chart appearance. I think we would do a lot to trans-
mit to them directly.
Some people may flip this over and see who is on this.
committee anyway. That might be the only page some people
read, so far as I know.
The Chairman. Okay, fine. The staff will take care of
that.
Mr. Dodd. On page 6, I changed the language "Mr.
Fauntroy, again, was appointed," to "remains as chairman of

the King subcommittee and Mr. Preyer the chairman of the
Kennedy subcommittee."
I am trying to show flow rather than emphasizing the
breakup the committee went through during this traumatic
period, to emphasize flow and
continuity.
The end of the next paragraph, paragraph beginning, "A
meeting was imnediately arranged," I have added a sentence at
the end of the last sentence there to read, "Access to FBI
materials on both assassinations was continued."
Dropping down to the two paragraphs, the paragraph
beginning with the words "On March 11, 1977," going to the
very end of that paragraph, changing the period after the
word "consultants" to a coma and adding the following lan-
guage: "including ballistics testing of the alleged rifle
used to murder DI. King."
The next paragraph, beginning with the language, "On
March 16, 1977," and the second sentence in, "The witness
refused to testify, claiming his privileges under the First,
Fourth, Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments," not just the Fifth
Amenament.
Further in the next sentence, "The staff continues to
explore the leads developed in this area, and the committee
is considering recalling this witness to pursue these ques-
tions," again to reflect the status with which the witness
left the committee.

The Chairman. I think the official language was that
he remains under subpoena to this committee.
Mr. Dodd. Correct.
Maybe that would be better said that way then "and he
remains under subpoena."
On page 7, under. "Rules of Procedure," a technical
amendment. "Congressman James J. Delaney" and "Chairman of
the House Committee on Rules" is the proper title of that
committee.
On page 9, subsection D, "Staff and Budget," the second
sentence, "The committee has," and I have changed the language,
"been fully briefed" to "discussed at length."
Mr. Edgar. Going back to page 7 where the American
Civil Liberties Union letter is noted, I have noted in a
number of reports they do include letters from the Administra-
tion and letters from other people.
I wonder what the value would be to make that statement
and then include the letter from the American Civil Liberties
union..
Is that a bad idea or excellent idea?
Mr. Sprague. Mr. Chairman, may I be heard on that?
The Chairman. Mr. Sprague.
Mr. Sprague. I think it is a bad idea, for the reason
that although that letter now supports the rules and supports
the continuation of the investigation, they state things that
we allegedly were going to do in the past which we never were

going to do. It happens to be a good illustration of the
falsity of things that had been spread around.
I do not think that we ought to have their letter here,
since it does state things absolutely contrary to what we
ever intended to do.
Mr. Fithian. On many occasions, including in this
report, however, there are examples of simply taking or quot-
ing from insufficient sentences; we in the profession do this
all the time. We don't use a whole six-page letter when
there is only a half page that is pertinent.
You put in an elipsis and the three sentences you want
and you go on. It is called selective evidence, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Sprague. The trouble with that is that you end up
with a blank letter.
The Chairman. The essence of the letter was the fact
that this quote as contained here was the real essence of it.
Mr. Devine. I know a number of members that if they see
the ACLU favors the investigation, they will vote against it.
The Chairman. That is right. It is a red flag for some
of the members.
MI. Dodd. On page 12, top of page 12, the second
sentence, "The committee staff has spoken with the witness
who stated that in November 1963, prior to the assassination
of President Kennedy, the witness was personally introduced
to Lee Harvey Oswald by Jack Ruby, " has that been

corroborated or is that a fact?
Mr. Tanenbaum. Yes, it is a fact.
Mr. Dodd. It has been corroborated; the committee has
received information not yet corroborated that Ruby traveled
to Cuba and so forth?
Mr. Tanenbaum. I am just trying to protect you.
Mr. Sprague. Mr. Dodd, the statement that is there is
absolutely correct. In other words, we have interviewed a
witness who has stated that. We are not in a position of
saying whether what that witness is saying is true or not.
That is different than the next sentence which is based upon
information that we have received of somebody telling us that
he was at the jailhouse and he saw Ruby coming there to visit
Trafficante. There is that difference.
Mr. Dodd. You received information that Ruby traveled
to Cuba to visit Trafficante. You received a statement from
a witness who claims that he was introduced to Oswald by Ruby.
One is corroborated.
MI. Sprague. I will say either is corroborated. I
know that we have a witness who says the one thing. We have
information about the other, but. we have not really gone to
those sources yet. We cannot state that, in fact, when we go
to those sources they are going to be in a position of saying,
yes, they saw it.

accusation later that we are blowing smoke. If you want to
leave it like that, I have no complaint other than just
protect ourselves, that is all.
Mr. Fithian. When you say "committee has received infor-
mation, not yet corroborated," that leaves me a little uneasy,
because it appears as though the counsel is anticipating
corroboration.
I was under the impression that that was uncorroborated
and likely to remain uncorroborated. The inference I draw
from that is that it is not yet done, but we expect to get
this done shortly.
MI. Sprague. I do not want to give that implication.
He was not yet corroborated. We don't have corroboration at
this time.
Mr. Fithian. Could we get out of it by striking the
words "not yet" and put in the word "uncorroborated"?
The Chairman. Before the word "information"?
Mr.. Fithian.
Yes. That is even better.
MI. Sprague.
That is fine.
Mr. Fithian. On page 13, second paragraph, "Recently an.
FBI informant stated he had seen an FBI agent and Lee Harvey
Oswald meeting." Who did the FBI informant state that to?
The committee staff; another informant?

not like it to look like a House committee is relying at this
point on a report carried by a newsman of what was said to
him. It is the basis of the statement that we are making,
but I don't like the idea of any notoriety.
Mr. Fithian. Say "reliable source."
Mr. Sprague. I don't want to say reliable source, either
Mr. Devine. You can say publicly stated.
Mr. Dodd. It is a question I would ask if I were look-
ing at the report. If I was reading this thing and wanted to
poke holes in it, that is one of the questions I would ask.
Mr. Tanenbaum. We have spoken to the witness on the
telephone. He is the witness who indicated previously he wants
to take a lie detector test. He has indicated to us that what
he said then is so. Before he speaks to us any further, he
wants to take a lie detector so that we will understand he is
telling the truth.
Mr. Sprague. I guess the answer to your question is
that he has now said it to us.
we can put in there "advised
by the witness."
The Chairman. In talking with him, did you consider that
àn interview or just conversation?
Mr. Sprague.
I would call it an interview.
The Chairman.: If that is a fact, then you could say
"The witness, interviewed by our staff" or "witness we have
interviewed."

Mr. Sprague. My thought was to say "Recently, an FBI
informant has advised the committee that."
The Chairman. It takes it out of the Dan Rather cate-
gory, at least, and puts it here.
Mr. Dodd. Page 15, the third paragraph, "An FBI
ballistics expert," the third paragraph down, beginning with
the second sentence where you have the word "others by con-
trast believe that the bullet possessed sufficient character-
istics."
MI. Lehner. We have one expert, Mr. MacDonald, who has
stated that. We also have Mr. Haines who stated that, who
was a former FBI agent. I don't think we would characterize
him as an expert. That is why we left it with that vague
"others."
Mr. Dodd. I think you ought to say "another expert."
I think you ought to be clear.
Mr. Fauntroy. I think that would be helpful.
Mr. Lehner. We can put "an expert."
Mr. Fauntroy. "An expert" of "Another expert," but I
would not leave it as "others."
Mr. Dodd. The last thing is on the last page of the
report, page 23. This is merely a question. I don't know
how it should be done. "Again, I would like to emphasize the
committee, therefore, recommends," and going to the two
points here.

I would like to emphasize again here that I think the
language regarding legislative intent ought to be stated at
the conclusion of this report as well. I will repeat it again.
We ought to emphasize that, however possible, in this report.
I don't know what language, but in addition, that the House
reconstitute the select committee and that the House approve
the budget:
The Chairman. Will the gentleman yield to me on that?
I am just thinking out loud with you on this. The first
thing is that I am wondering whether we need to have this
recommendation, and secondly, I am wondering - we are not
asking at this time for action on the approval of the budget.
I don't know that these two explanations need to be
included. Just strike both of those recommendations.
Mr. Edgar. Under title of Section 5, it ought to say
conclusions.
The Chairman. Strike both recommendations. Strike the
language on page 22 saying "and recommendations."
Have you finished, Mr. Dodd?
MI. Dodd. Two other points. One is the statement
"Today we had a closed session with Mr. Sprague regarding
allegations" and so forth. I would like to have that, if it
is not already, typed up; we are going to need that right
away. It may be far too lengthy to incorporate in the
Congressional Record. I think stapled together and collated,

it could be available to members to go over.
I have had several requests for it. The members who are
most concerned about this have expressed satisfaction that
those of us on the committee are satisfied, but they still
would like to be able to have access to it.
I think that should be done immediately.
The Chairman. Do we know when that will be ready?
Mr. Sprague. Mr. Chairman, it will be ready tomorrow.
We are making copies for every member of the committee so
that you can have it for your own use if you want it. The
17th, I guess, would be in the morning.
Mrs. Burke. I was going to suggest that if we feel it
important enough to be in the record, we could sequentially
each sign for an entry in the record for it to appear that
way if it was not too long. I think we can get it in the
record if we feel that it is justified.
MI. Fithian. Mr. Chairman, I am not sure whether it is
the intent of the committee that it should go in the record.
The Chairman. I think there is a consensus generally
that it ought not go in the record and be picked up by the
press and let them make an issue of that at this point in
time.
So now I think it ought to be kept within the members
of the committee's jurisdiction, and they can share it with
those members when they please.

Mr. Dodd. I can remember one member in particular who
is going to be asking for a copy.
The Chairman. It was in executive session, and I don't
think he should have it.
Mr. Fithian. Congressman Wirth raised the question
originally.
Mr. Edgar and I have both talked to him at some
length.
Our arrangement is simply this; that we, as a member of
the committee, can get a copy of that proceeding in executive
session. That if he and his staff person who has gotten
involved in this and dug into it earlier and raised the
question, want to come over to Mr. Edgar's office and sit
down and read it, that is fine.
I wholeheartedly concur that to now make this thing
public would make - I think some reporters are looking for
something to run one good solid story or two between now and
our vote on the Floor. I think it could be handled that
way, if they are that interested. If they are not that.
interested, they should not see it, anyway.
If they are interested, they can come over to our office
and look at it.
The Chairman. I really want to caution you that that is
all this committee needs.
Mr. Fithian. I have an altogether different point to
raise here, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Fauntroy. Mr. Chairman, I would just like to
suggest some trappings for the king report. In the first
instance, knowing the penchant of the members for scanning
reports and trying to glean quickly what the reports say, I
would suggest a topic sentence to begin on page 14.
After you say "Development of the investigations into
the assassination of Dr. King," I would like to suggest a
topic sentence that summarizes what the report is and if it
appears that that topic sentence would go something like
that.
"The investigation into the assassination of Martin Luther
King, Jr., is proceeding along two lines of inquiry. The
committee is first investigating new and previously unpursued
leads in the assassination of DI. King. Second, the
committee is investigating a number of questions not answered
by our review of available documents and investigations con-
ducted by federal, state and local agencies into the assas-
sination."
Having stated that, it seems to me then logically, we
could list under the topic "New and unpursued leads," which i

think ought to be up there because everybody is asking,
"What is new?" -- I may quarrel a little bit with the
order, but it seems to me the fact that James Earl Ray is
now willing to talk with us after having publicly said that
he didn't shoot him and has indicated in his pleading that he
did not agree that there was no conspiracy, that is a new
lead.

25
Secondly, I think at the very top of the new lead on
this ballistics test, we sort of run into the ballistic test
without saying why we are running into it. The key sentence
there, I think, has to do with the belief by at least one
expert that the bullet possesses sufficient characteristics
to permit a definitive conclusion.
So, the new lead we are pursuing is that the conclusion
was reached that the bullet could not be identified; on the
basis of our information, now it may be. I think that some-
how has to be the top of the reference to the ballistic test,
because the ballistic test does not make context until you get
that far.
Now the third group is one that I have found on page 16
to be very impressive among the members with whom I have
talked when I say as a topic sentence to them "we are investi-
gating, " I say "six previously potential witnesses who are
prepared to testify on pre-assassination plot activity."
You have a statement here that essentially says that, but

then having the people looking for the six.
We don't have
them here. But just that statement, look at six people who
have never been interviewed before whom we have identified
with whom we have talked, who give witness to pre-assassina-
tion activity, several witnesses about conspiracy against Dr.
Ring's life.
Is it a problem for you to quantify that, saying five?
Mr. Lehner. The problem is that some of these witnesses
have spoken before to the FBI. The FBI has given in at least
two instances, I think, a short investigation of it.
Mr. Fauntroy. It is that category. Sartor, his family;
there is Beard, McFarren, Zapp, Davis. We can't detail that
in the report, but it seems to me that the impression ought to
be given and it is a fact that we have identified and are
pursuing potential witnesses on that.
It may not be necessary to even rearrange this language
except to just give a little topic to that.
The Chairman. Will you field for a moment?
Mr. Fauntroy. Yes.
The Chairman. I think you could rework this on page 16.
Your second sentence really does not say very much. You say
"The information furnished by some of these witnesses has the
potential to provide independent corroboration for the infor-
mation received by the committee from others of these
witnesses."

To me, this is a rather awkward construction there. You
might sort of reshape it in terms of hitting upon what he is
talking about; information relating to pre-assassination
conspiracy?
Mr. Fauntroy. Once you have done that, then I think you
can go into questions not answered by our review of available
documents
and investigation of state, local and federal
officials. Under that, it seems to me you could list first
the funds question and tie it to the FBI - I think you have
done that - to the FBI task force report. The passport is
a question, the escape from the penitentiary, the removal of
the security surveillance. The radio diversionary announce-
ment and the one family member, the question raised by the
FBI.

These are questions left unanswered that we are pursuing,
that they all happen to be related to the question of assis-
tance; whether we have assistance both with the fund, pass-
port, escape from the penitentiary, and the radio diversion
and the one family member question which Mr. Bell mentioned,
and then finally, it seems to me that there ought to be a
paragraph -- and you essentially, do that -- which mentions
the task force report of the Justice Department and makes
reference to the fact that we have already mentioned the
Justice concern about funds. I think they are concerned about
one family member

In the previous report, you said three questions

said it was a mystery, the fund was a mystery.
They said one family member and didn't explain had been
involved.

Before Di. King pointed to conspiracy, that could be
among the unanswered questions.
Mx. Chairman, in short, I am not recommending any speci-
fic language at this point because I have not had a chance to
do it carefully, but I do note it would be very helpful to
have a topic sentence. that gives us those two areas for which
members can scan quickly to find the basis for those state-
ments.
The minute they see new
and unpursued leads, they will
wake up. If you just start reading about Ray willing to
testify, they are not going to wake up.
The Chairman. Page 15, the third paragraph down, third
line we have a typo, "bullet." On page 17, second paragraph
where he said "The committee intends to investigate the
source of Ray's funds in general and of those $20 bills in
particular." I would end that sentence with "funds."
Mrs. Burke.
Mrs. Burke. Mr. Chairman, the first memo that we
received on the Ring investigation is made up of two parts.
This is sometime back. One was a series of questions that
were raised. The second memo, I believe, set forth cities.
Of the things that we have received during this time,
those two documents, to me, raise more question and appear to
go into areas that had not been pursued by most of the writers,
more than anything else.

I just wonder if some of those things could not be em-
bodied in this report? The kind of things that were raised in
those memos, do you have those available now?
Mr. Lehner. Let me see if I do.
Mrs. Burke. They were in the notebook you put here at
one of your early meetings, and it had a list of questions.
The Chairman. That was the analysis the staff did of the
Justice Department's task force.
Mrs. Burke. No, I mean some time ago.
Mr. Sprague. Mr. Chairman, it was one of the first
committee sessions.
The Chairman. I remember.
Mr. Sprague. We just gave it to Mr. Edgar.
Mrs. Burke.
We turned them in at that time.
Mr. Sprague. We still have them.
Mrs. Burke. I see here, this is it, that Mr. Edgar has.
There are many things here I think would move in a direction
of bringing before members of the House concrete issues.
have not seen this for a long time, so I am not sure of the
details, the kind of things I am thinking about, but one of
those - let me see if I can find the kind of thing I was
referring to. It is this whole area of questions that have
not been answered.
Mr. Sprague. Mrs. Burke, I think when we prepared that,
we are not saying there were questions that had not been

answered. I think we are suggesting they were questions
that would have to be addressed, The answers may have in
some instances existed and in others they may not have. We
are not sure.
Mrs. Burke. I know what I was trying to think about.
The circumstances immediately surrounding the shooting; the
location of the room, the determination of what hotel Dr.
Ring would register in, the change of hotel, the change of
room; if, in fact, these things did take place.
These are a number of questions, and I believe there
were a series of questions on Ray's immediate issues, under-
standing they have not been pursued.
My reaction to this section was that it was very, very
general, and in trying, I could get something I could present
to members that would be persuasive of what I have been trying
to do rather than using this approach as to review some of
these questions that had been raised in the past.
So I would really hope we could bring some of these
a little bit more into this
section, a little bit more detail,
even if it is only questions. I recognize we are at a dis-
advantage more on Ring because you have a body of material,
so many writings on the Kennedy assassination; you do not have
that in the case of the King assassination. You do not have
all the documents that have been reviewed, and all that sort
of thing.

investigations. This is really a reemphasis of what Mr.
Fauntroy has said with regard to the King investigation.
I am wondering if, at the very beginning on the first
page or two, you cannot use that in the introduction as well
as in the conclusion.
Other than that, I am ready to vote on it.
Mr. Devine. Mr. Chairman, I move the adoption of the
proposed committee report, as amended, and I think under the
rules, it is necessary to have a roll call on that.
The reason I make the
motion at this time, I am due at
my office at 4:00 o'clock on an important matter. I would
like to vote for myself and my proxies, if we have a quorum
present.
Mr. Dodd. Under the Rules of the House, any time a
committee reports out legislation, you have to have a majority
present when reporting out from here.
MI. Devine. If we call the roll and leave it open for a
few minutes, I think we can beat the problem.
Mr. Dodd.. That is a long count.
The Chairman.
The clerk will call the roll.
The Clerk. Mr. Stokes.
The Chairman, Aye.
The Clerk. Mr. Devine.
Mr. Devine. Aye.
The Clerk. Mr. Preyer.

Mr. Sprague. To respond to Mrs. Burke, the answer is
absolutely yes. The two people who are available are Mr.
Tanenbaul and Mr. Lehner for any briefing that any member of
this committee wants, or member of Congress, at any time.
Mrs. Burke. I can give you the names of two people, if
the appointments can be set up. One is Mr. Danielson. The

other person is MI. Krebs, Mr. Lloyd, and it could be done if
someone could take over a memo to Martha Keys of Kansas. She
voted against the first time. She might change her vote.
Mr. Sprague. The only question I have with regard to
this is the staff is under instructions from me, and I am
under my own instructions of what I think are the instructions
of the committee that we do not make and have avoided making
any contact on our own with any members of Congress other
than the members of this committee and what this committee
sets up for us with any members of Congress.
If you are saying to us for us to make this contact and
set it up, we will do so. What I would frankly prefer is if
a member of this committee who wants to do so would just set
up the appointments, we will comply with them.
The Chairman. Mr. Fithian.
Mr. Fithian. Mr. Chairman, this brings me to the point
I wanted to make before we break up.
Starting in about 30 or 45 minutes, I will be contacting
each member to get from them some time, hopefully before 7:00
this evening, in any case by noon tomorrow, a final tally of
how we stand on our entire whip count.:
Included in the tally I would hope would be the names
of individual members whom we, as members of the committee,
believe could or would want to be briefed. At that point
then, to make more expeditious use of time, I would like to

arrange taking all the names from every member of the
committee who needs briefing.
I would like to arrange then a series of maybe three,
four, five times when we might get four or five of the members
together so that one briefing would accomplish four or five
members at
a time until we exhaust the list of those who are
persuadable but need some kind of briefing, and that is one
of the purposes of this whip count.
The second purpose is to go back to all members that
any individual member here wants to go to with a computerized
letter; included in the letter a paragraph or paragraphs that
we are devising now and which I would like to have some review
by the staff so that we can go back to the individual members
of any member of Congress that any member of this committee
wants us to follow up on.
We have the capacity to do that with a computerized
letter. All it will take is some individual letterhead from
your office and the individuals you want us to send the letters
to .
We will process them and have these ready for signatures
of the members of this committee prior to any vote.
We will also report to you,. Mr. Chairman, as to where
we stand on this thing, specifically in terms of count.
I just spoke to Mr. Devine. His man has been sick, but
he is hoping to have a Republican count sometime tomorrow.
I will get with you no later than tomorrow afternoon. I would

hope all the members of the committee here would make every
effort to contact people on their list, because we have to
have a hard count by tomorrow at 2:00 in order to put the
rest of the mechanism in motion that we have.
Mr. Dodd. If the gentleman would yield, it has got to
be before that. We have a whip meeting tomorrow morning at
9:15 in the morning. I would like at that meeting to be able
to take our accumulated count, even if we do not have the
sponsors, and turn a good portion of that responsibility over
to the normal whip operations. That, I think, would increase
our possibility of success.
If the leadership of the Congress is pushing this as a
whip item, it can be counted in the remaining three or four
days. If you can give me that information before 9:15
tomorrow, at least what you have --
Fithian. I will give you what I have up to that
point. I would raise no objection to the regular whip
system handling this. - I think it is crucial, from my exper-
ience today, those of us who are members of the committee, to
talk personally to some of these people.
There were two members today that I talked with, and all
we really needed was about five or sixminutes of discussion
in which I could simply tell them, nothing that is really
classified, but just tell them it was my judgment, based on
these things, that this thing ought to go forward, and both

of them made a commitment today to vote for it.
We have a very long way to go on this matter.
The Chairman. Let me ask for a point of clarification,
Mrs. Burke. The briefing that you want is not the executive
briefing?
Mrs. Burke. It is going to take almost that with some
of them.
But let me turn the list of those over to Floyd of those
who need briefings.
The Chairman. It needs to go all the way.
Mr. Sprague. Mi. Chairman, we have not the slightest
objection, as long as it is set up with members of the
Congress by members of the committee for an executive brief-
ing.

The Chairman. But I agree with the procedure of the
staff not contacting any member unless so directed. I talked
to Al yesterday and instructed him to call a couple members.
I assume that was done. I know it was done, in one case.
Mrs. Burke. These are people who asked for briefings.
But it could be done by this method. We will try this first.
Mr. Sprague. We would be happy to have the executive
type, full, complete, and let them know what it is.
Mrs. Burke. In the case of one, he is a whip, and it
might not hurt --
The Chairman.
You ought to get to him tonight. The whip

is leaving us tonorrow.
A couple matters. With the committee having voted out
this report as amended, when can we anticipate that this
report will be ready to file with the House?
Mr. Sprague. Mr. Chairman, we should have the type-
written draft of this with the
amendments suggested here to you
tomorrow by noontime, so that we can get it over to the
printer tomorrow. They told us the printed copies of that
would be ready Monday morning.
The Chairman. Mr. Preyer.
Mr. Preyer. Does that have to be ready by noon? I
know Mr. Anderson made some comments to Mr. Fithian about the
budget provision.
I was not sure whether tomorrow is clear
or what those changes are going to be or whether it is going
to involve -- that will take some writing and refiguring of
that.

Monday morning. I was just allowing a little time tomorrow
in case after it is examined by the Chairman, there is a
desire to have some more changes. We do have until 6:00 p.m.

members correcting the transcripts and ordering them to be
printed. Have you had someone following through with that?
Mr. Sprague. Mr. Chairman, if the members have no
amendments or changes to make, we can get them there by 6:00
p.M. today. They can be printed by Friday morning.
In the event the members are not in a position to say
that yet, as long as we know by 6:00 p.m. tomorrow, that can
be completed by Monday morning as well.
The Chairman. I would suggest you have someone follow
through with each member to be sure that is compiled right.
There were a couple of other matters that I wanted to
get into tonight. Don Edwards' letter; did we have the staff
prepare a response to that?
Mr. Wolf. Yes, we have, Mr. Chairman. His letter just
wants to make it clear that those rules that apply to the
committee staff will also apply to the individual staff person
on our staff, designated to be liaison.
For example, restrictions on revealing the names of
subpoenaed people, et cetera.. I think just to make that
clear, it would require an amendment to ourrules as to what
we are constituting.
The Chairman. Would you prepare a letter to him in which
you advise him that we appreciate that suggestion and that
the matter will be corrected by way of amendment after we are
reconstituted.

Mr. Wolf. One point on the report to be filed.
On
my meeting with Mr. Collins, he requested that the Rules
Committee be given, even if it is only a typed version, of
the report Friday morning.
If the Chair would like me to provide a typed xerox
version which will be done by that time. The printed copies
will not be back until Monday morning.
The Chairman. What do you need from us?
Mr. Wolf. Just your authorization to provide him the
xeroxes of the typed copy.
The Chairman. That is on the budget?
Mr. Wolf. No, of the report.
The Chiarman. Of the report?
Mx. Wolf. Yes.
The Chairman.. I see.
All right, you have that.
One other thing. On Bruton and Baish, when we last met,
you were to check out the usual ramifications of our accept-
ing the resignation of Mr. Bruton as opposed to our firing
him.
Mr. Wolf.
That is correct.
The Chairman. And how it would affect the payroll status.
Can you give us a report on that?
Mr. Wolf. Surely. It is my recommendation that his
resignation as opposed to firing, the committee take the

latter action. It is very questionable whether of not he was
fired at that committee meeting held in your office, I
believe, since the procedures of the committee itself were not
followed at that time.
There appears to be no difference. We have checked with
House Administration, for their purposes, for his back pay
claims for any other legal significance to
accepting, a resig-
nation as opposed to firing.
The only possible distinction might be for an unemploy-
ment claim that he would file with the District of Columbia.
If his resignation were for just cause, he would still be
eligible for unemployment.
The Chairman. Can we have then --
Mr. Wolf. Because of Mr. Fithian's amendment requiring
majority of the connittee to be present to terminate staff
member, I do not believe a majority is present, so I do not
think action can be taken at the current time either on Mr.
Bruton or Mrs. Baish, who also should be re-fired, if you
will.
The Chairman. The only thing is, I think you should be
in communication with him so he does not feel we are ignoring
his correspondence and advise him that the comnittee has the
matter under consideration and that he should be getting a
reply in just a few days. Explain it to him.
Mr. Sprague. Mr. Chairman, I do not agree with Mr. Wolf

with regard to Mr. Bruton's situation.
As I understood it and from previous meetings, this
committee has already decided to accept the resignation of
Mr. Bruton as of the same day that that firing occurred,
provided there was no legal
difficulty which would occur, and
we were to check that through.
That has been checked --
The Chairman. I do not think they actually took the
action. I think it was left open for him to check it out and
return with a report back to us.
Mr. Wolf. That is my understanding.
The Chairman. And if it was possible to go ahead and
accept his resignation, the committee ought to do that. That
appeared to be the consensus of the committee at that time.
I do not th ink on the record they formally did.
Mr. Wolf. That is my understanding, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Sprague. I do not think, for a person to resign,
involves the hiring and the terminating. We are talking.
about a different situation:
The Chairman. He posed the question in a letter to us
whether we had been fired, and if so, was it done in a duly
constituted meeting of the committee, and so forth.
In checking it out, also we ascertained that was really
an informal meeting that was called. It was not an official
meeting of the committee. That action had been brought to our

attention at that informal meeting. We would not be able to
say to him that it was done in a duly and legally consti-
tuted meeting of this committee.
Mr. Fithian. Mr. Chairman, since it was my amendment
that put the committee in this position, I would like to state
for the record that there was never any intention in that
amendment which would preclude anyone from resigning from the
staff.
I was talking abour forceable separation from the staff,
and that is what the amendment directs itself to. Therefore,
there is no problem with the comnittee, as far as I can see; no
violation of our rules in any way to accept his resignation.
If it is a forced termination, then it would be another
matter:
Mr. Sprague. Mr. Chairman, I quite agree with Mr.
Fithian. The only issue is, can the committee accept his
resignation as of that same day? The answer is yes. I do
not think we ought to respond to his letter with any opinion
concerning the firing. He has requested we accept his
resignation. I think we merely ought to respond and say we
have decided to do so and that our record will reflect that.
The Chairman. There was another item, as I recall, to
the $40 office telephone bill which I had the impression, in
all probability, they were legitimate calls. But he was asked
to do something by way of substantiating, or something of this

I am just wondering if that is something we do not need
to necessarily get involved in since we are talking about $40
and we are denying the claim of something in the neighborhood
of $2500. Maybe we ought to respond in that way, and we will
pay his $40 upon signing the proper vouchers, and so forth,
and then the other members and I will officially have the
committee do that.
Meanwhile, Jim Wolf, you call him and advise him of the
status of this matter so we do not encounter a lawsuit on
this point.
Mr. Sprague. I do not think there is any official
action required by the committee under the rules with regard
to a staff member resigning.
The Chairman. Probably not. We can check that. If
there is not, we can go ahead and reject that.
We will recess, subject to call of the chair.
(Whereupon, at 4:45 p.m., the committee adjourned,
subject to call of the Chair.)

ASSASSINATION OF THE PRESIDENT
1.927518
I had a long talk this morning with Congressman Gerald R. (Gerry) Ford
(R. - Micnigan) in his officc. He asked that I come up to see him. Upon arriving he
told nie he wanted to talk in the strictest of confidence. This was agreed to.
Er-! Foru told me he was somewhat disturbed about the manner in which
(Chick Justice Warren was carrying on his Chairmanship of the Presidential Commission.
He explained that the list inistake that Warren mace was his attempt to establish a
"one man commission" by appointing a Chiet Counsel, Warrei Olney, that was his own
prolege.
Ford stated that alter the mention of Olney's name by the Chief Justice, it
their first meeting; Allen Dulles, former Director of CIA, protested quite violently.
Because of Dulles' protest, the other members told Warren that they would like to know
more about Olney prior 10
giving their consent.
On the occasion of their second meeting, Ford and Hale bogss joined
#Dulles. Hale Boggs told Warren flatly that Olney would not be accoptable and that
he (Toggs) would not work on the Commission with Olney. Warren put up a stiti
arguncht jut a compromise was made when the name of Lee Rankin was mentioned.
Warren siated he knew Rankin and could work with him.

Red, Assassination of the President
I told Ford in strict confidence that the Director concurred with his
viewpoint. I mentioned that our investigation thus far had conclusively shown that
Oswald operated by himself and that Ruby additionally was a loner. However, FEI
investigation was still pending on a large number of rumors, speculation and gossip
and it, therefore vould be quite unfair for the Commission to take a stand prior to
li the evidence being turned in.. Ford stated this was his point entirely and that
although he was a minority of one he intencied to stick to his point.
Ford told me that John McCone, Director of CIA, had, approximately
one weck ago, gone up to his office and told him that ClA had uncovered some
"startling information" in the Oswald case. McCone proceeded to tell Ford that a
source oi Cla's in Mexico had seen money exchange hands between Oswald and an
unknown Cuban Negro. Ford stated this excited him greaily inasmuch as it definitely
ended to show there was an international connection involved in the assassination i i
the President. irissrows inow
mious
I told Ford that apparcnly McCohe had failed to follow up on this matter.
I mentioned that CIA's source had recanted his story and had indicated that it was a
sment of his inastention.
Towever, to prove the unstable tendencies of this source;
he source had later clamec that he was actually telling the truth. I pointed out that we
ie stin cincheng some ameres ol ths. Towever, the Cla source was obviously either
nsi e or somewhat or a psycacpathic dar:

case of Watergate. So it is not surprising
that recent revelations of the Senate In-

an old question: what connection, it any,
did the Castro government have with the
assassination of John F. Kennedy?
Current speculation is that the Cuban

having learned of CIA plots
against his life, decided to strike back,
returning violence for violence, with
consequences that are now history. In-
deed, the recent report of the Schweiker-
Hurt task force, while finding no hard
evidence to support this theory, did un-
cover some interesting new leads. More
than that, it established that a CIA-FBI
"cover-up" had deprived the Warren
commission of vital information that pre-
vented it from seriously exploring the
possibility of Castro's involvement and
that consequeritry there is no longer any
reason to have faith in its picture of the
Kennedy assassination.
And so we may well have a reopening
of the ingestigation. At last.
Given all this, it seems appropriate to
examine the record of the period. A small
but interesting body of published testi-
mony and reminiscences describes and
imply documents a little-known cam-
paign of accommodation launched by
Washington and Havana in the weeks
preceding that fateful day in November
1963. Actually, the origins of this tenta-
tive and ultimately ill-fated rapproche-

A MESSAGE FOR CASTRO
It was not until September 1963, how-
ever, that this campaign began to show
results. At that time, William Attwood, an
adviser to the U.S. delegation to the
United Nations, told his superiors he had

PART THO: JIM BRADEN
One of the most incrodible bodies of recent information
concerning the alleged conspiracy to assassinate President
Kennedy is largely based on the investigative research
done by Peter doyes, a former CBS Producer and
top inves-
tigative reporter.
Last year, Noyes published a book, Legacy of Doubt, which
summed up
many of his findings, and which generally outlines
what Noyes believes was heavy
Mafia involvement in the
assassination. The Noyes book is almost entirely factual
is largely based on substantiated information such as
police records provided by the FBI, the Los Angeles Police
Department, the California Attorney General's Office, and
Texas police officials.
Though the hoyes book (like most recent assassination books)
did not sell well or receive much
press attention, it has
been regarded as a valuable contribution by most of author
Noyes'
fellow Warren Commission critics.
It can definitely be said that almost all of Moyes' findings,
particularly with respect to his main character Jim Braden,
nave been factually substantiated and are solidly establishec
by official police records.
Basically the Noyes book outlines the background of a
mysterious man who was picked up by the police at the scene
of President Kennedy's assassination just minutes after the
shooting. The man was apprehended by a Dallas policeman who
thought he was behaving suspiciously. The man, who identified
himself under the false name of Jim Braden,
was released
shortly thereafter following brief questioning by the Dallas
Sheriff's Office.
Author Noyes uncovered the story of Jim Braden and his
true identity during five years of investigative research.
And it is Jim Braden's true identity and his ironic misfortune
of being picked up at the scene of the assassination for
"looking suspicious" that the warren Commission critics now
believe ranks with James McCord's mistake of leaving masking
tape on
the doors during the Watergate break-in as the ultimate
fatal slip-ups
in the two conspiracies.

For Jin Braden, those true identity is Eugene Hale Brading,
is a man with
singularly avesome direct ties to the highest
levels of the
Mafia. Of all the Mafia figures connected
the syndicate's crucial security and enforcement activities
of coercion, maiming, intra-syndicate assassination and
outside murder contracting,
Jim Braden appears to be an
indispensable link - or leader - of organized crime's
far flung network of "controlled violence" specialists
and professional hit men.
Braden's involvement with the Mafia's highest echelon
"enforcers" has spanned the continent from coast to coast
and covers virtually every national crime syndicate juris-
diction: According
to federal authorities working with the
Justice Department's organized crine strike force units, and
according to other high government sources cited by author
loves Lans praden is now serving as personal courier for
The importance of this mysterious man who was picked up
under a false name across
the street from the Texas Book
Depository just moments after the shots were fired on
November 22, 1963 cannot be overemphasized.
Though there were several innocent witnesses or bystanders
in the area of the assassination who were also arrested or
brought in for questioning
by the Dallas police, all of thom
were shortly released like Jim Braden, his presence there at
that precise moment does in fact raise an
incredible specter,
and may indeed have been the monumental slip-up that critics
of the Warren Commission now attest to.

Deputy C.L. Lewis was one of the first Dallas police
officers on the scene at the Texas School Book Depository
following the assassination.
within just minutes after the deadly shots were fired,
Deputy Lowis confronted a man across the street from the
Book Depository, a man whom Lewis thought was "acting
suspiciously."
Deputy Loris questioned the man for several minutes before
taking him to the Sheriff's office for further interrogation.
The man identified hinself
as Jim Braden, and said that he
was in the oil business in Beverly Hills, California. Deputy
Lewis became even more suspicious. over the way the man first
tried to identify himsolf. Instead of producing his driver's
license, the common means of identification, the man pulled
out a gasoline credit card instead.
The man who identified himself as Jim Braden strongly protested

he was staying at the cabana liotel, s short distance away
the scene of the assassination. Braden said he had been

time of the assassination and had been looking for a taxi cab.
Jim Braden further
stated that he was confronted by Deputy
Lewis inside a building across the street from the depository.
during an attempt to make a telephone call following the
shooting.
Braden was shortly thereafter released by the Dallas Sheriff's
office.
Braden
was not fingerprinted, nor was any check made
of possible criminal records relating to hin.
Two nonths later, in late January of 1964, Jim Braden was
interviewed by tro
FBI agents
at his office in Beverly Mills.
The warren Commission's investigation was then in full swing
and witnesses to the
assassination vere being questioned by
the IBI and other authorities. In his FBI interview, Braden
gave the same account as he had given to the dallas police on
the day of the assassination. The FBI's official report on
Braden's interrogation further stated, that,
"Braden has no
information concerning the assassination and both Lee Harvey
Oswald and Jack Ruby are unknown to him."

Jim Braden's True Identity Energes
In early 1909, Peter loves, the investigative reporter
whose book: covers much of
the information regarding Jim
Braden, began investigating the mysterious California
"oil man."
joyos originally received a tip about Braden from a
former FBI agent who was then aiding District Attorney
Jim Garrison's investigation of the Kennedy assassination.
The FBI man told loves of Braden's presence at the scene of
the assassination at the time of the shooting.
loyes soon found that Jim Braden was no longer at cither
of the addresses that he had given the dallas police, and
had left no forwarding addresses.
loyes then had the California Department of Motor Vehicles
run a chock on the license number that Braden had given to
the Dallas police at the Sheriff's office following the
assassination.
Hotor Vehicles told Moyes that Braden's
(11751755) had been renewed by Braden in San Diego
county in lovember of 1906. Braden has also listed new
business and home addresses, which interestingly were over
a hunarca miles apart.
The Department of l'otor Voiclos' records on Jin Braden
also showed that "Jim Braden" was not really his original
name. The license had actually been issued in the 1950's
to Eugone lalc Erading, which is Braden's true identity.
On Sentenber 10, 1903, just ten wechs before the assassination,
Bugene Hale Brading had notified the Department that he had
Icgally changed his name to Jim Braden, and he roquested a
new license under that name. The license was granted.
Intrigued by the fact that Jin Braden vas really a false
identity assumed by Eugene Brading, investigator Noves
contacted the Intclligence Division of the California
Attorney General's
office, and had a chech run on the
mysterious Brading.
Hoyes was told. that Eugene Hale Brading "is a real bad guy.
H'e's got a long rap sheet and apparantly has liafia connections."
Nojes shortly thercafter obtained a copy of Eugene Brading's
(Jim Braden's) police records.

sugonc Hale Brading, but the police dossier on him

showed a handful of other aliases,
including Harry eugene
Bradley,
Gone Brady, James Lee Cole, James Bradley Lee,
and invitably, Jim
Braden.
"Jin Braden" was the last entry shown on Brading's
records.
Incredibl:, investigator lloyes found that due to the fact
that the Dallas police had not fingerprinted Jim Braden or
run a male on him, his true identity of sugene trading las
never discovered by the FBI
or the warren Commission at the
time of their investigation of the assassination. The warren
Commission had only routinely included Braden's short state-
ment about being
in Dallas on
"oil business" in a police
exhibit on witnesses contained in Warren Commission Hearing's
Volune XIX. Jim Braden and his story had been accepted at
faco value.

In particular, the LAPD interest in Brading was focused on

Captain Hamilton, who was known as one of the foremost
experts on the infia in the nation, asted the Miami Commission
Which was conducting ostensive investigations o's the Mafial

Clark and Baunan.
Among those named was Eugene

"Clark has been arrested several times and has been

As investigator Peter loves points out, the men listed
with Brading in the letter, represent a virtual "who's imo"
of organized crime leaders
between California and the Midwest.
(BRADING AND PRATIANO)
Of these top lafia men listed with Brading (Braden) perhaps
the most important one is James Fratianno, also widely known
as "Jimmie The Weasel." Fratianno was known as perhaps the
Mafia's highest ranking executioner in the nation.
In 1959, in his testimony before the Rackets Conmittee of
the California logislature, Captain Hamilton, the chiet of
LAPD Intelligence, stated that,
"ie have long considered Fratianno to
he the
exccutioner for the lafia on
the Hest Coast."
Captain Hamilton told the Rackets Committee that his Intelligence
Division had linked Jinnie Frationno to at least sixteen Mafia
executions.
Fratianno had once been arrested for the attempted assassination
of Los Angeles
Mafia head Mickey Cohen in 1949. Conen had
survived the bloody shooting wich took the lifo
nis licutenants. Fratianno was later releasca duc to insuf-

Mafia,

Jim braden: Possible Link To Jack Ruby
Ihe same inadequate investigative work which led the
Warren Commission to largely overlook Jack Ruby's solid
Mafia involvement,
apocars also to have been responsible
for the failure to uncover Jim Braden's true identity of
Eugene Brading during the official investigation into the
Kennedy assassination.
As shown in the provious account of Jack Ruby's very

that Jack Ruby and Jim Braden were both important liafia

which nlaces both Ruby and Braden at the same place on the
day before the assassination.
Evidence indicates that both Jim Braden and Jack Ruby
visited the Dallas offices of the !l.l. Hunt Oil Company
on the afternooi? of lovember 21, 1963, just twenty four
hours before the President was murdered. Obviously any
link which places both Braden and Ruby in the
same place
at the same time on the day before the assassination does
of course raise further significant questions about a
possible relationship between the tro men.
Jin Braden received parmission fron the U.s. Board of
Parole in los ingeles to male a trip to ballas, Texas on
coverber 1?, 1903, four days before the assassination.
Braden was required to report all of his travels to his
Parole Boaid following his parole in 1959 for the embez-
on November 21, 1903, the day before the assassination,
Jim Braden chocked in with the U.S. Parole Office in
Dallas. According to Roger Carroll
the Chief Parole
Officer
in Dallas, Braden (Brading) "advised that ne
planned to see Lamar liunt and other oil speculators while
here." Lamar Hunt is the son
of f.L. Hunt, the famous
right-ring oil billionaire.

laul nothornel, a former fil agent ho was Director of
security for the liunt oil Connany in Dallas at that tine,
has recalled
that he distinctly renombers Braden visiting
the funt offices on November 21 in the company of three
other men. Rothernel has stated that the office 10g for
lovember 21 showed that Roger Bauman (Brading's old

friend and tornan Brown and Duane Howlin "and friend"
visited the llunt office on that afternoon. Rothermel states
that Braden was definitely the "friend."

produced very damaging evidence against the Hunt brothers,

visit to the same offices on that same afternoon.
The warren Commiasion investigated soveral other

unernlined fact that Lamar Hunt's name was found insido

Jim BIncion: iossible link to David Ferric
Investigator Peter Moyes has turned up several pieces
of information which indicate a possible connection botreen
Jim
Braden and the mysterious
David Icrria.
David Farric was the homoscrual airline nilot and private
invostinator thor Jim Garrison accused of participating
in the plot to assassinate
PIcsident kennedy. Six days after
District ittorney Garrison's charges vero nade nublic, David
Ferrice was

dead in his apartment in New Orleans. His
mysterious death was finally ruled to have been a suicide.
David Ferrie has boen a target of investigation ly critics
of the Warren Connission ever since the assassination. In
inct the aBI and Secret Service both investigated a possible
Ferrie role inmodiatoly after the assassination. It was
widely rumored in He: Orloans and Dallas that Forrie vas to
alleged assassins out of the country folloring
the assassination. Ine warren Commission decided not to include
the official secrot sarvice and FBI reports on Forric in
26 volumes of Hearints which vere released after the warren
Leport was
issued. However,
the Justice Denartment did finally
release those ronorts to the National Archives in 1957 following
Garrison's public accusations.
author Noves has siner established that both Jim Braden and
Davod Ferrie worked out of thenfloor of offices in a building
in Now Orleans in the month or two immediately preceding the
assassination.
This is particularly significant due to the faci that
at that
time the mysterious David Forrie was cnploved as a private
investigator by Carlos Marcello, the lon Hafia Kinavin. It
is widely believed by nost federal authorities that Carlos
Marcello rants with his close friend lloyer Lansly as one of
the two single most poverful loadors of the infia's national
international crine syndicate. Carlos inrcello heads the
l'afia ompire conterod in New Orleans, Louisiana, and controls
most of the Mafia activity in the southern part
of the United
States.
In Septenber and October of 1963, just weeks bofore the
assassination, David Ferrie was
working out of the offices
of carlos Marcello's criminal attorney, G. wray Gill. Ferrie,
who was doing investigative work on a
nerjury charge that his
boss larcello was then encing, worked out of loom 1707 in the
Fore liarauctte Building in New Orleans.
At this same time, in september and October of 1963, Jim
Braden was operating out of Room 1701 in the fere ilarguetic
Building.

way down the hall from David ferrie in room 1707.
Interestintly,
in one visit to his Parole Offico, Braden
"nistalenly" told his Parole Officer that he as worling
out of Room 1706 - which would have heen the room next
door to ferrie - instead of room 1701.
Thus a nossihle Braden-Ferrie connection in the weeks
just bofore the assassination does indeed arise in acdition
to the possiblr Braden-Ruby connection. Both connections

Marcello once claimed that he had been kidnapped under orders

Fa Reid,
author of the Greeniclt Jungle and widely recognized
as one of the most respected exports on the Mafia in the
nation, has written that Carlos Marcello once threatened to
have President Kennedy and his brother murdered. Roid has
written that he was told of Marcello's threat by an informant
who attended a secret meeting with Marcello in New Orleans in

informant stated that larcello said that President

that his brother would then follow. The informant

Jim Braden: Author Peter loves And Judae lvIng
Peter Moyes, the investigative reporter who uncovered
most of the
material regarding Jim Braden (Bugone Brading),
is a former classmate and close friend of Judge Matthe!
Byrne, JI.
the U.S. District Court Judge who presided
over the Ellsbera
Pentagon Papers trial last year.
As is now well known, Judge Byrne dismissed the case
against Ellsbera after he was notified that the white
Ilouse "Plumbers" had once burglarized the office of
üllsberg's psychiatrist.
A short time later, it became known that fresident Nixon
had twice instructed John thrlichnan to anproach Judge
Byrne during the course of the tllsberg trial and offer him
the rosition of Diroctor of the FBI. This offer, which Judge
Byrne resused, has
been regarded as a potential
bribery by some critics of President Inson, and is currently
under investigation by the soccial Prosecutor's office.
It has boon widely assumed
that lixon's fervent intcrest
in the outcone of the prosecution of allahore may have
been the motivation behind his approach
to Judge Byrne.

the Fil man told Moves that the FBI had never before linown
that Jin Braden - the man arrested at the scone of the
assassination in 1903 - was actually Bugone erading. The
FBI man said that the Bureau must have made a big mistala
in not tracing down Braden's true identity and police record.
The FBI man was nearly incredulous over loves' evidance on
Braden.

The la Costa Country Club had become, under the direction
of dioc Dalitz and liever Lansky, a key "watering hole" of
the syndicate. La Costa was originally financed through :

with James Hoffa of the Teamsters. One of
the Teamsters Union's billion dollar Pension Funds was used
in the financing of the project. La Costa became what is
known in the Mafia as "open
territory" - neaning that no
single Mafia family controlled it. La Costa was open to all.
Intelligence authorities in southern California have long
regardod la Costa as a
nrime hangout for the Mafia. Some
officials have dubbed it "Apalachin West."
The syndicate had originally given Charter memberships in
La Costa to a numbor of Hollynood celchrition, so as to

The Washington Post
August 22, 1976
Slain Mobster Claimed
Cuban Link to JFK Death
By Ronald Kessler and Laurence Stern
Washington Post Staff Writers
Long before his recent murder,
John Rosselli, the CIA's underworld
recruit in attempts to kill Fidel Cas-
tro, had been privately claiming that
agents of the Cuban premier, in' retali.
' ation, were involved in the assassina-
tion of President John F. Kennedy.
Rosselli's belief in a Cuban connec-
tion to the Kennedy assassination was
expressed through his attorney,
Ed-
ward P. Morgan, to the FBI
as long
ago as March, 1967, and also in private.
, conversations with a longtime associ.
ate of Rosselli who participated in
meetings between Rosselli
and the
CIA.
An FBI "blind memorandum" on
an
interview
with
Morgan
dated
March 21, 1967, was included, without
identification of the
interviewee, in
last June's Senate Intelligence Com-
mittee's report on the role of the in-
telligence community in the Kennedy
assassination investigation.
Morgan told the FBI that Rosselli
and
another Morgan
client had in-
formed him that Castro became aware
of
CIA
assassination
against him and "thereafter employed
teams of individuals who were dis-
patched to the United States for the
purpose of assassinating Mr. Ken•
nedy."
Because neither Morgan nor Ros-
selli was identified in the Senate re-
port, the significance of that portion
of the 106-page
document was dis-
counted at the time it was published :
in June, before Rosselli's disappear:
ance and the subsequent discovery of
his body in
an
oil drum
in
Florida
waters. The Washington Post, however,
has confirmed that Morgan and Rosselli
. were the sources of the testimony that
suggested a Cuban role in the Ken-
nedy murder.
Morgan's account, according: to a •
summary of the FBI interview, was
that Rosselli had reached his conclu-
sion about a Cuban connection to the
Kennedy
assassination
from
«feedback" furnished by sources close
to Castro who were involved in the CIA
plots to assassinate the Cuban leader.
"His (Morgan's) clients were aware
of the identity of some of the individ-
uals who came to the United States
for this purpose and he understood
that two such individuals were now in
the state of New. Jersey," the FBI in
terview summary stated.
A long-time
associate. of Rosselli
who was interviewed separately by
The Washington Post, said there was
no question in the slain mobster's
mind that President Kennedy was
¿ killed on Castro's behalf in reprisal
for the CIA schemes against the Cu-.
ban leader.
"He was positive; he was sure," said
the associate, who knew Rosselli well
and was in contact with him before
• Rosselli disappeared from his Florida
home on July 28. The associate, who
i does not want to be identified pub-
i licly, is scheduled to be interviewed
this week by Dade County, Fla., homi-
cide detectives. He was a party to Ros-
selli's contacts in the early 1960s with
CIA case officers overseeing the at-
tempts to assassinate Castro.
Despite occasional speculation, the
collective conclusion of all
official
U.S. government investigations into
the Kennedy assassination-including
the Warren Commission, the FBI and
the CIA-has been that there was no
evidence that implicated the Castro
• government or any of its agents.
However, the CIA's involvement in

was not divulged to the Warren Com-

had decided to retaliate." •
Warren declined Pearson's sugges-

matter to then Secret Service Direc-

1967, wrote FBI Director J. Edgar Ho-

by the fact that he had never been in-

The JFK Assassination: Curiosity in Havana
An inquisitive American learns many things on a
visit to Cuba. One of the most surprising is that high
officials in Havana seem genuinely hopeful that the
investigation of the Kennedy assassination will be re-
opened. They are convinced that there was a Cuban
factor in the murder.
•Conversations with senior officials of the Cuban;
government, including Deputy Prime Minister Carlos
Rafael Rodriguez, make clear that they have followed
closely the disclosures by the Senate Intelligence
Committee casting doubt upon the Warren Commis-
sion investigation. The Cubans are well aware that the
doubts center on the failure of the CIA and the FBI to
inform the Warren Commission of the several plots
mounted by the CIA to kill Fidel Castro. Knowledge
of these plots appears to have been withheld even
from the FBI and CIA officials who were responsible
for investigating the President's murder and for sup
porting the work of the Warren Commission. As a re-
sult, there was no special effort to explore the possi-
ble involvement of either the Cuban government or
Cuban exiles in the assassination. Evidence developed
by the Senate committee makes both hypotheses plau.:
sible and a new inquiry imperative.
The situation is murkier and more perplexing than :
ever. Those who are resistant to conspiracy theories.
• and who have been prepared even, eager -to be-
lieve that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone can no:

adequate prop for their predilections. The commis,
sion did not know that on Nov. 22, 1963, at about the
very hour Oswald struck in Dallas, an agent of the
Central Intelligence Agency was meeting with a rank-
ing Cuban official (code-named AMLASH and re.i
cently identified as Rolando Cubela) to plan the mur.:
der of Castro. Simultaneously, in Cuba, a French re.
porter, Jean Daniel, was spending the day with Cas-
tro, conveying to the Cuban leader views expressed"
by President Kennedy in a brief interview at they
White House on Oct. 2%, persuading Castro that Ken.
nedy: wanted to explore ways to normalize relations.
• Thus, at the moment the President was killed, U.S.
policy. toward Cuba appeared to be moving not only
on two tracks but in opposite directions, and move;
ment on either track could have provoked violent re-
sponse by one or another Cuban faction...
Perceptions inside the Cuban government re-
sponded to both tendencies in U.S. policy. There is
good reason to suspect that the AMLASH operation
involved a double agent, or at least a singularly inept
one. Castro almost certainly knew of it. The CLA even-
, tually concluded that the AMLASH activity was "inse-:
cure" and terminated it. Among other discoveries.
within two days of the assassination it was known (but
not to the Warren Commission) that AMLASH had:
been in contact with Soviet personnel in Mexico City,
where Oswald had gone in September 1983 to visit
hoth the Cuban and Soviet consulates. Whether these .
• facts are significant or merely coincidental, one can-
not tell. In retrospect, Cuban authorities note with
some relief that Oswald was denied permission to visit
Cuba, implying that, had his request been granted;
the finger of suspicion would surely have pointed at
Havana.
Perhaps more suggestive of a direct leak from AM•:
. LASH to Castro was the sequence of events on Sept. 7,
1963, when the CIA re-established contact with the Cu-
ban conspirator for the first time since the preceding
year. Late that evening, Prime Minister Castro called
in Associated, Press reporter Daniel Harker för an un.!
expected interview. Only three Western reporters.
were based in Havana at the time and their contact
with Castro was quite limited. Evidently, the Cuban
leader had a message he wished to get on the record
through Harker. He charged that the United States
was aiding terrorist plots in Cuba and warned U.S.
leaders that "if they are aiding terrorist plans to elimi
nate Cuban leaders, they themselves will not be safe."
This threat of reprisals seems less inflammatory
and more understandable now that we know what
Castro knew at the time, namely, that the United
States was in fact stepping up its covert operations
against Cuba during the summer and fall of 1963. Yet
it seems an exception to the main lines of Cuban pol.
icy as it was then evolving.
For months afer the missile crisis of 1962, Castro
had been displeased with the Soviets, and there are
signs that he was interested in an opening to Wash-
ington, On Sept. 5, the. Cubans quietly proposed talks,
with the Americans at the United Nations, and Ken-se

spent two weeks in Cuba. Although key U.S. officials
have no recollection of consulting with Scott on that
occasion, the Cubans recall his questions and com-:
ments as hinting of American interest in a possible ace
commodation, much as they were later to interpret
the discussions between Jean Daniel and Castro.
Then and now the Cubans' attitude toward Ken-?
nedy has been a compound of political antipathy andy
personal admiration. While critical of Kennedy's role
in various counter-revolutionary efforts, Castro and
his associates voice a warm, almost affectionate re
gard for the President's courage and realism. They

profess to have seen his death as a grave setback to
more hopeful relations between the two countries
The John Kennedy of 1963 was not, in their judgment,
he same man who was inaugurated in 1961, but a,
more mature, poised and forward-looking leader, with i
whom they could have done business.
With this frame of reference, Cuban officials specu.:
late that the real origin of the assassination lies in an-.
ti-Castro circles, with which Oswald also was in touch.
• They emphasize that assassination is incompatible
with their own revolutionary doctrine and that they
never contemplated it even against Batista, the pre--
vious Cuban ruler. And they volunteer the suspicion
that the recent murders of Sam Giancana and Johnny
Rosselli, the Mafia figures who consorted with the
CIA to kill Castro, surely have some connection with
Cuban exile politics and the Kennedy murder.

but that is clearly the consensus in Havana. Further
investigation may still be inconclusive, but, far from :

Could Rosselli Have Linked
Castro Plot to JFK Death?
By RON LaBRECQUE
In 1960, when the CIA was try-
• ing to set up a delicate attempt on
the life of Fidel Castro, it turned to

• figure Johnny Rosselli.
Rosselli - a seemingly improba-
¡ble conspirator in a
plot — got the "flag-waving" label
from Salvatore (Momo) Giancana,
¡then Chicago's top crime boss and
a man Rosselli brought into that
Now both are dead, murdered in
the past year, and investigators are
wondering
whether their
plotting
led to their deaths and whether the
CIA plots against Castro - only
recently made public and even kept
from the Warren Commission -
are vitai clues to the John F. Ken-
nedy assassination.
The deaths of Giancana, in June
of 1975, and Rosselli, this summer,
have aroused a renewed concern in
Washington, where on Friday the
House of Representives voted to re-
open the investigation of the Ken-
nedy murder.
REP. THOMAS N. Downing (D.,
Va.), who will be chairman of the,
panel, said he is "convinced" a con-
spiracy was involved in Kennedy's
death.
Now, in the aftermath of the vi-:
olent deaths of Giancana and Ros-
selli, the question arises of what
role, if any, the Kennedy White
House
played in the early 1960s
"deal" the CIA made with the two
underworld figures to have Castro
murdered.
Whether "the Kennedy" Whité'
House knew about about the. CIA's
plotting (Robert F. Kennedy found
out after the contacts were ended),
the ClA's use of the underworld
seems ironic in retrospect.
• Robert Kennedy's passionate ef-
forts to disable organized crime are
well documented.
IN 1960 when Robert Kennedy
wrote about what he had learned
of organized crime in America
from his years as chief counsel to
the Senate Rackets Committee, he

view at his local draft board at the

ing steal," Giancana is said to
have replied.
So Sam Giancana didn't go to
war and years later would boast to
Chicago reporter Sandy Smith that
he stayed out of the Army - la-
beled unfit — by telling the truth.
"What's wrong with the syndi-
'cate?" Kennedy quoted Giancana.

likelihood that presidents (the re-
port dealt with Dwight Eisenhoweri
and Kennedy) knew of the (Castro)

lust to trace Rosselli's history
with the ClA is mind-boggling
the investigators. Yet, it is just one
aspect of the search for his killer.
Johnny Rosselli - born on the
fourth of July in Esperia, Italy, and
71 when he died - was not first
and foremost a ClA operative.
÷ His greater role as evidenced by :
two convictions, his
associations
and to some extent his own .com-
ments, was as an influential, if
publicly lesser known, organized
crime figure.

members.
was monitored by law enforcement
agencies
as recently as several:
weeks before his July 28 disap-
pearance.
• By all accounts, Rosselli was a i
charming man, dressing in expen-
'sive clothes, married for only two
years in the
early
1940s
and
iknown most of his life as one who
leasily attracted women.
He was an immigrant who told
lin a short autobiography written
tabout 1967 that his
"life of crime"
¡began as a teenager in Boston, at-
tempting arson for his stepfather
and stealing $50 on his own. As her
traveled west, finally to settle in
California, his attention turned to:
bootlegging,
gambling
and dab-
'bling in the movie business.
IT IS said that Rosselli guarded
the West Coust gambling interests
for Giancana's Chicago syndicate.
Why Rosselli was chosen by the
ClA for a Castro plot in 1960 is un-
Clear, although ClA officials have
since testified that they wanted the
'kind of contacts in Cuba which or-
ganized crime had made during the
pre-Castro days when Havana was
a. gamblers' haven.
Giancana was enlisted by Rossel-
li because he had influence with :
Florida's Santo Trafficante, consid-:
ered the key underworld gambling
figure in Havana.
The unraveling of CIA and un-?
derworld conspiracies, an awesome
web spanning decades, is left to a
tean of nine in the Metro Homicide
Division. It is a team now clearly
consumed by the task which has
been a full-time operation
Rosselli's body was pulled from
Dumfoundling Buy on Aug. 7.

• THAT THE Metro team is even
involved is happenstance. Rosselli
lived in Plantation, Broward Coun-
ty, with his sister and brother-in-
law. It's just that his killers chose
• to dump his body in Dade.
While.
several
detectives say
their instincts lead them to con-
clude that the Rosselli murder was
an internal underworld affair, all
on the team are aware of the pres-
sure on them to search each clue
that leads back to the CIA-Castro
affair.
• With Rosselli's death this sum-
iner, the newly appointed Senate
committee saw its list of knowi-
edgeable witnesses further trim-
med. Some of those witnesses have
died violently and some from natu-
rai causes.
• When Giancana was murdered in
June of 1975, before he could even
be questioned by the committee
staff, authorities attributed it to an
internal gangland struggle - even
though. the murderer is still. un:
known.
• The death of Rosselli, who had
appeared
before the
committee
three times in the past year with-
out immunity, caused greater con-
cern on Capitol Hill.
THE SAME night Rosselli's body
was identified - the legs hacked
off and stuffed along with the body
into an oil drum - Baker, vice
chairman of the Senate Intelligence
Committee, called for the FBI to
get involved in the case. (Several
days later, Attorney General Ed-
ward Levi ordered FBl involve-
ment.)
It wasn't until
several weeks
later, however,
that
what
was
known to Baker became public
knowledge.
A section of the former commit-
tee's April report told of a Wash-
ington attorney who in 1967. went.

committee concluded this year, the

and
incomplete.
One of the clients referred to in

Rosselli, according to Morgan,;

be placed in her hotel room and her

But the private detective they
hired, with CIA money. it has since
been learned, was discovered and
arrested. Eventually the police in-
vestigation led back to the Castro
plotters.
Prosecution was avoided when
the CIA intervened and said the

aged if the plot information be-
came public.

who was the CIA's initial link to
Rosselli.
Mahue told Morgan that both he
and Rosselli had been subpenaed to:
appear before the committee. Mor-!
gan said he called Lawrence Hous®:
ton, the CIA general counsel. Hous-
ton went to Long and the investig
gation was dropped.
MORGAN SAID he knew, as the:
Senate committee recently
empha-:
sized as well, that all information:
• about the CIA plots - which could
have been the incentive for pro-'
Castro forces to kill Kennedy -;
had been kept from the Warren:
Commission.
"I was an admirer of Earl War-
ren," Morgan said.
"(His) report!
said that ... Oswald alone killed:
Kennedy. It kept bugging me after
so gruesome a detail from Rosselli
that the Chief Justice could put his
name on a report which didn't as-:
sess the most significant piece of
evidence bearing. on the killing of
Kennedy."
The
information Morgan
had
was passed to Warren via colum-
nist Drew Pearson, a
mutual:
friend. Eventually, it reached
the:
FBI, but, remarkably, even after di-
rect orders from President Lyndon
Johnson in the spring of 1967, in-:
vestigation was not vigorously pur.:
THE SENATE Intelligence Com-
mittee compared that apparent in-
action with a statement former FBI
director J. Edgar Hoover made to
the Warren Commission on May 5,
1964. Hoover said,
"well, I can as--
sure. you so far as the FBI is con-
cerned the case will be continued:
in an open classification
time. That is, any information com-
ing to us or any report coming to;
us from any source will' be thor-:
investigated,
ull be ave to prove or disprove
the allegation."
A Senate Committee staff memb,
ber commented recently,
really happening is that the investi-
gation which the FBI should have
done in 1967 - and no one can
come close to explaining why it.
wasn't — is actually being done:
HART, AS have local investiga-
tors, has established three possible
scenario's for Rosselli's death: his
recent organized crime activity, re-
taliation for his Castro assassina-
tion efforts or the information he
held concerning the JFK assassina-
tion.

assassination,
" a Senate source told
High officials in the Cuban gov-:
ernment also reportedly feel there:

death, but they see it as a result of
exile politics, according to a recent:
article by Alton Frye, a senior fel.

Minister Carlos Rafael Rodriguez.
... they volunteer the suspicion

dy murder," Frye wrote.
THERE HAVE been theories re-
cently propounded to show why
both pro and anti-Castro forces
could have wanted to get JFK out
On the one hand; there is the re-!
port of French journalist Jean Dan-

The same month Rosselli was

at a meeting: at the fon-

Sen. George Smathers, a
friend of Kennedy, said he and

Kennedy discussed the ramifica-
tions of a Castro assassination.
Smathers has since said Kennedy
rejected the idea and that the dis-
cussion was more of a "brain-pick-
ing"' session.
AT LEAST one high-level.CIA
official did testify he believed the
White House was being briefed on
the plots but according to Richard
Bissell, one of the officials who
originally decided to use Rosselli, it
was through the method of "plau-
That, according to the recent
Senate report, "can also lead to the
use of euphemism and circumlocu-
tion, which are designed to allow
the President and other senior offi-
cials to deny knowledge of an op:
eration should it be disclosed."
Another alleged link between
the White House and the under-
world plotters, first made public by
the Senate Committee,
been denied by virtually everyone
involved. Judith Campbell Exner,
the woman who claims to have
been friend and lover to both Gian-
cana and JFK, introduced to both
by Frank Sinatra, was not a link in
the Castro plotting, those close to
both Giancana and Kennedy have ::
A MAN with access to Kenne-
dy's closest advisers told The Her-
ald recently,
"The Giancana-Ros-
selli thing is unrelated to the Exner
thing. I was there. Sure JFK knew
her, but he was naive about those
kinds of things."
There is documentation to show
that on March 22, 1962, Hoover
lunched privately with Kennedy
and presumably gave him his first
information linking Exner with the
final recorded
call between
White
House and Exner was made only a
few hours later.
Another possible link discussed
in the Senate report shows that the
same unidentified Cuban to whom
Rosselli
prior to the Bay of Pigs operation
in April of 1961, was among
group of Cuban exile leaders who
met with JFK following the inva-
sion fiasco.

Searching Rosselli's more recent:
for enemies also presents:
, problems, investigators say.
The decline of John Rosselli ap-d
pears to begin in the late 1960s. In
1967, he was convicted in a card-:

In 1971, he was brought to a.
federal grand jury in Los Angeles
which was probing whether some

concessions - to hide financial in-
terests in the Frontier Hotel in Las
Rosselli, too, had, an interest in
the Frontier, which opened in 1967.:
He owned the gift shop concession :
along with a partner named Joe.
How Rosselli obtained the
concession is unclear, but' Breen:
said it gave Rosselli an' income of
about $60,000..
ROSSELLI at one time had been :
a major influence in Las
Vegas.
Several sources sajd that when the
owners of the Desert Inn wanted

Hughes eventually
Desert Inn, as well as the Frontier.
What Rosselli told the federal
grand "jury about the Frontier in
1971 is unknown. Rosselli didn't
testify later at the trial at which
Anthony J. Zerilli and Michael Pol-
izzi and the Emprise Corp., among
others, were convicted.
ZERILLI and Polizzi are still in
jail. In 1973, the House of Repre-
sentatives
Select Committee
on
Crime probed the influence of or-
ganized crime in sports - and one
area they looked at was Emprise
and the Frontier Hotel case.
At the time of the conviction, the
federal prosecutor asked that Poliz-
zi and Terilli be jailed immediately
because
monitored,
wiretapped
conversations showed that the two
had talked about "murder, the kill-
ing of certain individuals."
An intimate associate of Rosselli,
however,
discounts the possibility
that Rosselli's grand jury appear-
ance could have led to his death.
"They know Johnny didn't talk to
the grand jury," the associate said.
JOE BREEN said Rosselli hadn't
been to Las Vegas for nine years,
that "he's never even seen the gift
shop."
Since his prison release and
move to Plantation, Rosselli wasn't
trying to regain power; according
to his friends.
"He had no muscle."
said an associate."I can't believe
Rosselli was getting back into mob
stuff."
But at the same time,
many of
the associates
were
surpised to
learn about Rosselli's recent visits
with alleged organized crime fig-
ures on the West Coast.
Several associates speculate that
Rosselli wanted to get involved in
casino gambling, preferably in the
Middle East, and was looking for
someone with money to back him..
"MY IMPRESSION was that he
was broke," Morgan said.
"He told
me last
straite ,;Year; 'I'm. in. bad financial.
Scheer said Rosselli's income in-:
cluded about $60,000 from the gift
shop and about $3,500 in social se-
curity, most of
back fees to attorneys and for gov-
ernment fines.
One friend said. that just before
Giancana's death, Rosselli had ac-
cepted Giancana's
offer of money.
The friend was to act as the inter-
mediary. "Let me figure out what
my next (attorney's) tab will be,".

We believe that the Italian diplomat on the Cubana
flight No. 465 on 22 November 1963 from Mexico City to Havana,
Cuba;
was Mario MAURI who was accompanied by his wife, Maria
Antonieta MAURI. Ne have been unable to determine who trans-
mitted the information contained in DIR 86054 to CIA and we
have not been able to locate any documents relating to this
matter in Latin America Division files or the Oswald files.
3.
We have been unable to locate any documents which
would indicate that there was a response to DIR 86054 from
Mexico City.
4. Assuming there was no response to DIR 86054, the
originating Headquarters component should have initiated
follow-up action if a response was not received.

JACK ANDERSON
Plot to kill
Kissinger
blocked
WASHINGTON - A reported plot to assassinate Sec-
retary of State Henry Kissinger in Costa Rica six months
ago was blocked by US and Costa Rican authorities four
days before it was supposed to be carried out.
We have pieced together the story from secret lestimn-
ny before the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee and
from interviews with Cuban exiles and US intelligence
A Cuban terrorist named Orlando Bosch Avila was re-
ported to be gunning for Kissinger. The attempt on the
Secretary's life was expected, according to underground
reports, during his visit to Costa Rica last February.
Shortly before Kissinger's arrival, Bosch slipped into
Costa Rica on a false passport. But the FBI and Secret Ser-
vice had been alerted. They traced Bosch's movements and
notified the Costa Rican authorities. The suspected assas-
sin was arrested and clapped into a tiny jail cell four days
before Kissinger got to town.
The plot to kill Kissinger apparently grew out of his
overtures to improve relations with Cuba's Fidel Castro
back in 1972. This reportedly upset an anti-Castro terrorist
band, known as Cuban Action, which Bosch headed.
We reported part of the story two years later after a
lengthy investigation in Miami. In columns on Sept. 1 and
Nov. 12, 1974,
we
warned that anti-Castro terrorists
planned an "assassination ... against American congress-
men and businessmen who supported a….. thaw." We noted
that Kissinger had been in touch with Castro.
The first hint that Kissinger, himself, was one of the
• targets came later from Carlos Rivero Collado, son of the
man elected to the presidency of Cuba in 1958. Rivero was
active in the anti-Castro underground in Miami's little
Havana. But he later re-defected to Cuba where he gave a
fascinating interview.
"I have known privately since 1972," he said, "(about)
the plan to assassinate the US Secretary of State." He said
the plot had' taken "certain form" by 1973 and had. been
"actualized" by 1974..
Then, in a reference to our 1974 columns, he added:
"This fact which, I repeat, I've known privately, has been
corroborated by the US journalist Jack Anderson."
Rivero named Bosch as one of the 18 anti-Castro l
ers who had conspired to kill US and other leaders prom
ing a Cuban-American detente. Bosch arcady had be
convicted in 1968 of shelling a Polish freighter with a b
zooka while it was moored in Miami. He jumped Feder
parole and fled to Venezuela ir 1974.
Months later, he was reported to be in Curacao, prc
lected by Chilean gunmen. He bragged, according to th
reports, of his "money, friends and protection."
Florida's Dade County Public Safety Department, be
cause of the huge Cuban population in Miami, has excellent
ties throughout Latin America. In early 1976, tbe county's
terrorist expert, Lt. Thomas Lynch, picked up some electri-
fying news.
He told the Senate Subcommittee about it in secret tes-
timony. "We received information from confidential sourc-
es," he swore, "that there was going to be an attempt on the
life of Secretary of State Henry Kissinger... We passed the
information on to the FBI, and they had also received the
information, and we notified the Secret Service, as they.
have the protective duty for the Secretary of State."
The plot was linked to Kissinger's two-day stay in Cos-
ta Rica, and Bosch was picked up and questioned. He was
held on a false passport charge until Kissinger was safely
out of the country.
Bosch later insisted: "My only crime was entering the
country with a false passport." Certainly, it was never
proved in court that he hoped to knock off Kissinger. He is
now at large somewhere in Latin America.

Slain Mobster Claimed
Cuban Link 1o /FK Death:
By Ronald Kessler and Laurence Stern
Washington Post Staff Writers
Long before his recent murder,
John Rosselli, the CIA's underworld
recruit in attempts to kill Fidel Cas-
tro, had been privately claiming that
agents of the Cuban premier, in retali-
ation, were involved in the assassina-
tion of President John F. Kennedy.
Rosselli's belief in a Cuban connec-
tion to the Kennedy assassination was
expressed through his attorney,
Ed-
ward P. Morgan,
to the FBI
as long
ago as March, 1967, and also in private
conversations with a longtime associ.
ate of Rosselli

in
meetings between Rosselli and the

of the 106-page docunent was dis-
counted at the time it was published
in June, before Rosselli's disappear-

events.
Here, is the
sequence, pieced
to-
§ether 'from the testimony given to
Senate intelligence investigators:
• Columnist. Drew Pearson went to
the late Chief Justice of the United
States Parl
Warren late in Janualy,
1967, and told him that a Washington
lawyer had confided to him that one
of his clients
said the United States
"had attempted to assassinate Fidel
Castro in the early 1960s and Castro
had decided to retaliale."
Warren declined Pearson's sugges-
tion that he see the lawyer, who was
Edward Morgan. Warren referred the
matter to then Secret Service Direc-
tor James J. Rowley, who on Feb. 13,
1967, wrote FBI Director J: Edgar Ho-
over, informing him of the allegations.
Hoover sent the Rowley letter to six
senior bureau officials on
an
"eyes-
only" basis. There is no record of FBI
meetings or discussions of those alle-
gations. At that point the sensitive let-
ter bounced back and
forth in the
higher reaches of the FBI bureauc-
racy.
The job of responding to Rowley's
letter was assigned to the supervisor
of the FBI's General Investigative Di-

RE: PRESIDENT'S CONMISSION
The Commission in questioning Kellerman made specific
reference to the underscored portions of the above paragraph
as it contradicts some of Kellerman's testimony. Kellerman
claims he did not hear the President nor Mrs. Kennedy say
these things and had never told our Agents that he had.
denter to
In
part of Kellerman's denial he stated "I don't know where they
got those quotes."
OBSERVATIONS:
Kellerman is claiming our Agents furnished inaccurate
accounts of a conversation with him.
It is to be remembered
that at the time this conversation with our Agents reportedly
took place 11-22-63, Kellerman had been a security guard in
the President's car
Ka more than
and more than likely was upset and feeling
remorse over
the days episode.
In his testimony before the
Commission hosendeavored to give the impression that he acted
• calmly and immediately took command, issuing logical instructions
after the Presiddnt was hit.
The conversation reported by
our Agents made it appear kellerman reacted normally to the
tragedy and not dramatically as indicated in his testimony,
as he didn't order the driver to the hospital until after the
President had so directed.
It is felt our Agents reported accurately what
Kellerman told them on 11-22-63, and that kellerman's testimony
3y months later is the result of considered deliberation, on
his part,
to paint the
most favorable picture possible, under
the circumstances, for the Secret Service.
Consideration has been given to discussing this matter
vith Chief Rowley of Secret Service,
hovever, since it is the
word of our Agents against Kellerman's, it is not felt any good
purpose would
be served by this course of action.
RECOMMENDATION:
Affidavits are being obtained from our Agents Sibert
and O'Noill attesting to the accuracy of their report and
refuting Kellerman so that we will be in a position to show
any future inquirer that we recognized this contradiction and
did something about it.

MEMORANDUM TO THE PRESIDENT
SUBJECT: Sabotage against Castro
Three small-scale sabotage operations have been approved by the
Special Group, but this recommendation is based on a routine con-
tinuation of broad policy guidance which I think you may wish
to review.. The three operations involved are:
(1) a commando sabotage operation against a coastal
warehouse and pier;
(2) a sabotage attack against naval or patrol vessels in
a harbor; and
(3) a sabotage operation against a fuel barge proceeding
in coastal waters..
All of these operations would have been approved three months ago,
and indeed one of them is a rescheduling of an operation aborted
because of high seas. While it is always hard to predict-the noise
level in these matters, these operations seem comparable to the
small attack on a Cuban naval patrol which occurred in late December
which Castro promptly blamed on you (in fact it was an operation
approved before November 22 and not cancelled thereafter because it
seemed to fall within the guidance you expressed in your first review
of the Cuban problem).
The policy question now is this: If we continue these even small
sabotage operations, Castro will certainly know it. Equally, if we
call them off, he will know it, and so will the Russians.
We thus
have an opportunity to choose.
I doubt if this choice should be made on momentum alone.
I therefore recommend a Cabinet-level review of the whole principle
of covert sabotage against Cuba.
I know that Rusk has never liked it
and that McNamara thinks it does very little good.. McCone and the CIA
are for it, and so are most of the middle-level officers dealing with the
Castro problem. I myself consider the matter extremely evenly balanced,

but before hearing full argument, my guess is that in your position
I would stop sabotage attacks on the ground that they are illegal,
ineffective, and damaging to our broader policy. I might then wish
to make a little capital from this decision with the Soviet Union.

Connection Between Amlash Operation and Investigation
of JFK Assassination
DATE :
SUBJ:
Background
The staff's memorandum of January 5, 1976, postulated that the
mlash operation might have had some effect or
'CIA's response to
he investigation of President Kennedy's assassination.
On January
9, 1976, the staff asked for access to the Amlash file at CIA; and
after a delay which was not explained, the
staff was permitted to
review the file on January 23 and 26.
y Summary of Amlash File
Amlash initially contacted by CIA in 1961 met occasionally with
case officers through August 1962, at which time he was given instruc-
tion in secret writing and explosives.
Interest in Amlash continued
after the August meetings, but there was no further direct contact by CIA
agents until mid-1963.
Why there was a year lapse in contact with Am-
lash cannot be determined; the Cuban missile crisis in October 1962
undoubtedly made CIA cautious in dealing with Amlash.
In any event, DIR 48198*
to Rome of 19 June 1963 states that
Amwhip, a Cuban exile who assisted CIA, had sent a letter as part of
an "activation effort to reluctant dragon." Presumably, Amlash was
"reluctant dragon"
'and was, by this letter, asked to recontact CIA.
In late August, Amlash traveled with a large contingent of Cuban
officials and athletes to Porto Alegre, Brazil.
He cabled Amwhip
about his arrival on August 29.
This cable apparently was the signal
that he was
prepared to meet Anwhip in Porto Alegre.
Amwhip and two CIA case officers met with Amlash in Porto Alegre
between September 5 and 8. The two case officers have testified to
the Committee about their understanding of events at this series of
meetings which they viewed essentially as a get acquainted session.
CIA messages tell a different story.
• Porto Alegre 0704 to DIR öf 7
September stated that Amlash told Anwhip he felt there were only two
ways of getting rid of Castro.
The first was an invasion by U.S.
forces which Amlash knew was out of the question and the second was
an "inside job."
Amlash indicated he was awaiting a U.S. plan of action.
He referred to the explosives demonstration CIA gave him a year earlier
as "too cumbersome" for his purposes.

At the conclusion of the meetings with Amlash, Headquarters
cabled on 9 September that, based on
what little feel Headquarters
had, Amlash appeared hopeless as an intelligence performer and should
be approached as a chief conspirator allowed to recruit his own co-
horts.
He should be urged to recruit a
few trusted friends to assist
him, initially in "FI and Ops reporting" and then progress to sabotage
and:more serious matters on an orderly basis. (DIR 67110 to Porto
Alegre, JMWAVE and Rio.)
On 11 September, Porto Alegre 0708 to DIR summarized the intel-
ligence information Amlash had given on Soviet units in Cuba, saying
all IRBM and bombers had been removed. By this time Amlash had left
Brazil apparently heading for a vacation in Europe.
A document in the file dated 16 September and marked OFPA 72775
appears to be a transcript of a conversation obtained by covert means.
There is no indication as to where the conversation takes place, but
it probably is in the Cuban Embassy in Paris.
"Mary: I don't want to imagine things but
this thing of Amlash.
Moreno:
It is either a tremendous secret or a
top secret matter (unreadable) then the
word "treason"
or "reason").
Betty: I believe it is a top secret matter."
By letters of September 14 and September 16, Amlash stayed in
contact with Anwhip.
Paris station apparently was picking up responsi-
bility for Amlash at this? time, since
Paris 0706

as well as a communist group.
The message also notes that Fidel is
allegedly aware of the two groups and acts as moderator between them
in order to maintain cohesion in the Government of Cuba.
Nevertheless, Auwhip is asked to continue to work with Amlash
and is assigned to accompany him around Europe. According to Paris
0934 to DIR dated? October, Amlash met with case officer O* on 5
October.
Case officer O sat and listened permitting Amlash to get
everything off his chest.
Amlash seemed to be complaining about the
low level espionage matters that had been discussed at the September
meeting in Brazil, implying he had a more valuable role.
Case officer
O "provided necessary assurances his feelings not in fact true and
that his case receiving consideration highest levels. (emphasis added)!"

siderably, off his chest, a much more relaxed Amlash departed restating
his desire return Cuba to undertake 'the big job!""
On October. 15, London 5224 to DIR states case officer O met with
Amlash and Amwhip on 13 October.
Although the case officer had been
forewarned by Anwhip, he was not successful in discouraging Amlash's
request for a high level meeting.
"Amlash convinced that if such meet
does not take place at this time
it will be almost impossible come out
again and we will be in same situation as last year with no definite
decision. Also finds it difficult to believe why RFK who receives many
Cubans would refuse to see a major"
such as Amlash.
The message notes
the fact remains that Amlash does "have excellent entree to highest
target level which believe we cannot afford overlook."
This message seemingly moved Headquarters to re-evaluate Amlash's
role.
DIR 75683 to London on 15 October directed case officer O to
return headquarters soonest for discussions of all phases of the case.
The next meeting apparently took place on October 29. One case
officer met Amlash holding himself out as the personal representative
of REK.
He informed Amlash, according to a 13 November MFR, that
the U.S. was prepared to render all necessary assistance to any anti-
communist Cuban group which succeeded in neutralizing the present Cuban
to render assistance. He emphasized that U.S: support could come only
after a successful coup. Amlash responded by saying that without Fidel,
he military would break up into 4 or 5 groups and the regime would
disintegrate.
He also said he was satisfied with the policy discussior
but desired to know what technical support he could get.
Since Amwhip was closer to Amlash than the case officers, he was
asked about Amlash's reaction to the
meeting.
His reactions are
summarized in Attachment A to Amwhip's Memo of Meeting dated 14 Novem-
beI.
Amwhip said Amlash was still not pleased with support from U.s.
government.
While Amlash was satisfied on policy grounds, he was not
at all happy with the fact that he still was not given the technical
assistance for the operation plan as he saw it. Amlash could not under-
stand why he was denied certain small pieces of equipment which promised
a final solution to the problem, while, on the other hand, the U.S. gave
much equipment and money to exile groups for their ineffective excursions
against Cuban coastal targets.
Amlash had accepted the fact he had to
work with the clA, but ClA might lose him if it continued to procrastin-
ate.
Amlash talked about going
to the wrench terrorist organization,
real so trate are cue ane
the OAS, but realized that was not feasible.
The memorandum ends with
what apparently is the author's conclusion:
"It is hoped that he does
that Havana must first be taken
.. or failing that, a
truly sizeable piece of land (say, almost an entire province) which
could be true rallying point."

agreed to postpone his return

it was
to be a meeting which Amlash had requested. (Obviously, CIA wanted to
give Amlash the "technical support" he felt he had not been promised in
the 29 October meeting.)
Case officer O flew from the U.S.. so as to arrive in Paris on the morn-
ing
of November 22 for this meeting.
Pari 1607 to DIR received at Langley at 6:25 a.m. on 23 November
is the only message in Amlash's file reflecting the fact the meeting
had taken place.
It indicated that Amlash was anxious to return to
Cuba and that case officer O was to arrive in Washington at 1810 that
day.
The file contains no outgoing cable to Paris on November 23 or
any other time telling Paris to break contact with Amlash. **
On 25 November, a contact report was prepared. There is reason
to question the authenticity of this document which is three pages
and reports the 22 November meeting with Amlash.

Amlash meeting including the fact that he had been promised "full U.S

also promised arms which will have to be furnished through
JMWAVE's operations.
A series of confusing cables passed between Headquarters and JMWAVE
on December 6, 7, and 8.
Apparently, Headquarters first gave IMWAVE
authority to drop a cache of arms in
Cuba.
Then Headquarters called
off the operation.
In DIR 87615 of ? December, it is noted "major
top level Cuban/Caribbean policy review scheduled early next week which
should provide basis for decision."
JIMWAVE complained about the change in orders in a cable of 8
December.
JMWAVE 8702 pointed out that one Headquarter's message
indicated December infiltration operations were approved by higher author-
ity but a second message indicated a scheduled operation should be de-
layed and not run in December.
Headquarters responded in DIR 87880. Headquarters procedure
was
to present infiltration operation plans to "higher authority"
even though there is a reasonable chance operation may
be postponed
or delayed as was case with the scheduled operation.
"This procedure
will secure approval for the operation with only telephonic reconfirma-
tion needed when previously relaxed operation finally mounted." Head-
quarters recommended delay until January after considering and equating
objectives against risk factors for Amlash and others.
"Believe by
January, CIA should be in position better evaluate status of internal
assets.
By Pari 1914 of 13 December, Paris reported that Amlash left
Paris for Prague on November 27 but did not seek recontact with case
officer. DIR 90966 to JMWAVE of 23 December reported that Havana radio
2 December stated Amlash arrived Cuba on 1 December.
The last document in Amlash's file for the period ending December

relevant to the October-November

nat document, a rough draft of
a biographical information sheet on Amlash (no final draft was found)
appears to have been prepared in 1966 at the time of Amlash's arrest
for a later plot against Castro.
It states:
"22 Nov. 63 Mr. Fitzgerald
and Mr. Sanchez assured subject that this Agency would give him every-
thing he needed (telescopic sight, silencer,
all the money he wanted).
The situation changed when Mr.
Sanchez and Mr. Fitzgerald left the meet-
ing to discover that President Kennedy had been assassinated. Because
of this fact, plans with subject changed and it was decided that this

included the following.
"We would not furnish the silencer,
nor scope
nor any money for direct assassination; furthermore, we would not lift
a finger to help subject
escape from Cuba should he
assassinate Castro."
The same document states this message was communicated to Amlash
in November 1964 by Mr. Sanchez.
Despite this decision, the CIA in fact continued to assist Amlash
through a cut-out until Amlash's arrest in 1966.
Later documents on Amlash are also relevant to the September-
November 1963 Amlash operation.
Several such documents report informa-
tion received to the effect that Fidel Castro had long been aware of
Amlash's plots against him. For example,
Amlash's one time Cuban
mistress was believed to be working for Cuban intelligence and her
brother was known to be with Cuban
intelligence. Pari 8242 to DIR
in December 1964 warns that Amlash's objective may be known to too
many Cubans. And, one CIA informant reported in 1966 on one known
double agent of Cuban intelligence working for CIA and said the CIA's
Cuban operations had been penetrated at a high level by Cuban intel-
ligence.
He identified this latter individual only as one of the Cuban
-—
exiles who was knowledgeable of a number of the most important opera-
tions.
Nevertheless, Amlash's file contains nothing to indicate any
detailed analysis of these possible penetrations of the CIA's Amlash
operation,
although a cryptic handwritten note on at least one re-
port rejects the suggestion that Amlash was himself reporting to Castro.
One other document bears on the testimony Amlash's case officers
gave before the Select Committee to the effect that Amlash was given
a poison pen for self-protection. That document reports that Amlash,
and other Cuban officials in Paris in 1963, were carrying pistols for
self-protection throughout their travel in Europe.
finally, although the staff has not reviewed all possible ClA
files to determine what other operations Castro might have been re=
ferring to in his September 7 statement, the Amlash file indicates
that some coastal landings of supplies in August were the only other
CIA operations conducted against Cuba in this time period.

represent serious, realized or potential, danger to the

20 Castro-trained men and four tons of arms introduced

SPECTRUM OF COURSES OF ACTION WITH RESPECI TO CUBA
Accopting as valid the Attorney General's statement
that thers is no point in discussing courges of action
with respect to Cuba until the lundamental decision is
nado as to whether or not it 1s possible for the United
States to live with Castro, the following possible
courses of action are listed under the headingy "Can
Live with Castro" and "Can't Live with Castro." Neither
of these headingy is absolute; the courses of action
listed under each are indicative of degrees of accepta-
bility of the castro regime or conversely the urgency
to overthrow 1t.
COURSES OF ACTION
A. Can Live with Castro
1. Negotiate a detente with Fidel looking towards
full recognition of his regime and unfinited trade
between the United States and Cuba.
The negotiator of
the detente would endeavor to secure from Castro com
mitnents not to engage in subversive activities in
Latio Anerica and not to engage in polemies against
the United States. He would also endeavor to reduca
or eliminate, as a result of our concessions, Soviet
presenca in Cuba and reduce the Cuban military machine
to one compatible with the requirements of a peaceful
Latin American island republic.
No covert activitlas would bo undertaken and
intelligence operations would be of a
nature compat-
ible with our relations with a neutral power.

For orleans, Louisiana
inar friend:
Thanks you for your prompt reply. Enclosed are your card and receipt, along
with our thanks and welcone.
Your interest in helping to form an FPCC Chapter in New Orleans 18 gratefully
received. I shall try to give you some basic information now so that you may have
a botter sicture of what this entails.
For one thing, I an enclosing a copy of our constitution and ly-laws for all
Chapters and Student Councils. You will note that there is considerable autonomy
for an organization our sizo. Me try and let all Chapters operate according to the
Local requirements.. Naturally, there a minimul regulations which must be mit.
(111 chapters can receive literature in bulk at a discounted rate and resell at
the ritail price and use the proceeus for further Chapter activities) Credit is
citended and payment is not required with the order. lie do expect payment within a
reasonable period so that we may continue our end of the operation.
It would be hard to concieve of a chapter with as few mèmbers as seem to exist
in the New Orleans area. I have just gone through our files and find that Lousiana
scens somewhat restricted for Fair Play activities.. Horever, with what is there
perhaps you could build a larger group if a fer people would undertake the disciplined
responsibility of concrete organizational work.
le certainly are not at all adverse to a very small Chapter but certainly would
expect that there woild be at least trice the amount noeded to conduct a logal executiva
board for the Chapter. Should this be reasonable me could readily issue a charter fa

take place and would like to do everything possible to assist in bringing it about.
ve feel that the south-east is a very difficult area to work because of our lack of
contacts. Our only southeastern Chapter right now is that in Tampa, Florida whici
I originally organized before coming up
to work in the National Office.
I for one am convinced of the possibility of such an enterprise but know from
experience that it is quite a problem and requires sone sacrifice on the part of
those inv lved.
You must realize that you will come under tremendous pressures with any attempt
to do FPCC work in that area and that you till not be able to operate in the manner
which is inventional here in the north-east. Even most of our big city Chapters have
been forced to abandon the idea of operating an office in public. The national office
here in New York is the only one in the country, today and the New York City Chapter
uses
our office too so it is the only Chapter with an office. Most Chapters have dis-
covered that it is easier to operate semi-privately out of a home and maintain a P.o.
Sox for all mailings and public notices. (A P.O. Box is a must for any Chapter in the
organization to guarnatee the continued contact with the national even if an incividual
should nove or drop out.)) 7e do have a seriais and often violent oppusition inà this
proceedure helps prevent many unnecessary incidents which frighten away prosoective
supporters. I definitely
would not reconnend an office, at least not one that will
be easily identifyable to the lunatic fringe in your comnunity. Certainly, I would not
recommend that you engage in one at the very beginning but wait and see how you can
operate in the community through several public experiences.

See: page
During 1953 tbe situation 1a Cuba steadily vorcezed.
sconomy continued its decline and Castro was not able to halt:
the dosmiard curve. Hurricana Flora intensified Cuba's econonio
problens. Disilluslomment and apathy among tha great cajority
of the populazion contiqued to groi, and enthusiasu vas increasiagly
restilcted to a hard core.
As populax support wared, coercion and
terror vere esployed pore and sore to ruintala the regina's control.
Castro's drive to convert Cuba into a standard commialst prototype
caused Increasing disillusioment anong his origioil followers.
ils stature in the eyes of sany cubans and latia luericans suffered
with tha realization, in the afteruth of the October nissile crisis,
that Cuba had been a pawn snd Castro a cupa of Soviet polley.
Despite extraordinary efforts, Castro has not been able to.
stop acla of defiance against his reglue. Guertilla activity,
altaouza scattered and uncoordinated, continues. Spontancous
sets of sabotaze ara comon throughout the island. At great
Ils's refugees still elude his security forces and sea patrols
to escape fIon list. In tals afrospcers, externally mounted
ralds agalast Cubas tsrgets have added to Cistro's sease of
frastration and helped sustain hope arong the many Cabang dis-
11asloned vita bio regime.
During 1963 Cuba's International situation seerad altost as
bad as the domestic.
Althouga chinks appeared in the wall, the
U.S, palloy of econonie and diplonatic Isolation of Cuss vas
holdinz un fairly well. Soviat-duban relations clorrly sere uider
strals. Castro scarad no foreiga policy victories to provida a
much needed psychological boast.
His major effort to stivalato
Castzo-type armed uprislags throughout latin Anerica failed to
distupt the Venezuelan elections o1 December and netted a potentially
embartassing exposure that Cuba had shipped arms clandestioely to
Venezuela.
These istoral and intersational trends and develop-
seats brasght Cuca to a los point during 1963.

tive." Second question: What does the American gov-
ernment expect to gain from the blockade? Is the
economic isolation of Cuba a punishment or a political
maneuver?
Kennedy's reply: "Are you suggesting that the polit-
ical effectiveness of the blockade is uncertain (smile]?
You will see when you go to Cuba whether it is or not.
In any case, we can't let Communist subversion win in
the other Latin American countries.
Two dikes are
needed to contain Soviet expansion: the blockade on
the one hand, a tremendous effort toward progress on
the other. This is the problem in a nutshell. Both battles
are equally difficult." (Silence.) Then, a last comment:
"The continuation of the blockade depends on the, con-
tinuation of subversive activities."
The interview was over. I did not really wish to sug-
gest anything, since I had never been to Cubal and,
on the other hand, I had heard from all sides tales of
the privations the Cuban people were suffering owing
to their isolated economic situation. But I could see
plainly that John Kennedy had doubts, and was seeking
a way out.
That same evening I recounted this conversation in
detail to an American colleague - on intimate friend of
President Kennedy, through whom I had obtained this
interview -and to the editor of The New Republic.
Both my confidants, who knew the President a thou
sand times better than I, agreed that John F. Kennedv
had never before expressed hitertaso specifically and
with such feeling on his understanding of the first;
phase of the. Castro revolution. They hesitated to draw
any political conclusions from his remarks. However,
they were not surprised at Kennedy's invitation to
come and see him again when I returned from Cuba.
In effect, John Kennedy displayed two basic charac-
teristics in his exercise of power: first, an overwhelming
degree of empiricism and realism. A man without a
particular doctrine, he reacted decisively to events, and
only to events. Nothing but the shock of collision with
a problem was sufficient to make him come to aldeci-i
sion, and because of this, his decisions were unpredic-
table. At that point he had a consuming. need for
information, and this need had increased a great deal
since experience had taught him not to rely solely on
official channels.
After this, I went to Havana.
Night Session
TABM
In the "Pearl of the Aller rum-perfumedi
steeped in triumphant sensuality," as Cuba is described
in those American tourist folders still lying about in
the hotels of Havana, I spent three closely packed and"
intensive weeks, but thinking all along that I would
never get to meet with Fidel Castro. I tallied with farme.

eis, writers and painters, militants and counter-revo
lutionaries, ministers and ambassadors - but Fidel re-
mained inaccessible. I hid been warned: he was snowed
under with work; as a result of the hurricane, the
Cuban government had been obliged to revise its whole
planning program; and then, above all, he no longer
had any desire to receive any journalists, least of all
after all), Fidel came to my hotel. He had heard of my
interview with the President. We went up to my
room at to in the evening and did not leave until 4 in
the following morning. Here, I shall only recount that
part of that interview which constitutes a reply to John
F. Kennedy's remarks.
tidel listened with devouring and passionate inter-
est: he pulled at his beard, yanked his parachutist's
beret down over his eyes! adjusted his maqui tunic, all.
the while making me the target of a thousand malicio.
sparks cast by his deep-sunk, lively eyes. At one point
I felt as though I were playing the role of that partner
with whom he had as strong a desire to confer as to do
battle; as though I myself were in a small way that
intimate chemy in the White House whom Khrushchev
described to Fidel as someone with whom "it is pos-
sible to talk." Three times he had me repeat certain.ie-
marks, particularly those in which Kennedy expressed
his criticism of the Batista regime, those in which Ken-
nedy showed his impatience with the comments attrib-
uted to General de Gaulle, and lastly those in which
Kennedy accused Fidel of having almost caused a war
fatal to all humanity.
When I stopped talking, I expected an explosion..
Instead, I was treated to a lengthy silence and, at the
end of that silence, to a calm, composed, often humor-
ous, always thoughtful exposition. I don't know wheth-
er Fidel has changed, or whether these cartoons cari-
caturing him as a ranting madman which appear in the
Western press perhaps correspond to a former reality.
I orily know that at no time during the two complete
days I spent with him (and during which a great deal
happened), did Castro abandon his composure and
poise. Here too, I shall let Castro speak for himself,
reserving only the possibility of correcting certain judg-
ments on these two political leaders based on my own
experiences in Cuba.
"I beliere. Kennedy is sincere," Fidel declared. "I
also believe that today the expression of Sis sincerity
could have political significance. I'll explain what I

chiavellian tactics and the equivocation, the attempts at

situation; I don't think a President of the United States
is ever really free, and I believe Kennedy is at present
feeling the impact of this lack of freedom. I also believe
he now understands the extent to which he has been
misled, especially, for example, on Cuban reaction at
the time of the attempted Bay of Pigs invasion. I also
think he is a realist; he is now registering that it is in-
possible to simply wave a wand and cause us, and the
explosive situation throughout Latin America, to dis-
appear.
Why the Missiles Were Installed
"There is one point on which I want to give you ilew
information right away. I have refrained from doing
this until now; but today an altempt is being made to
frighten all mankind by propagating the idca that
Cuba, and in particular I, might provoke a nuclear war,
so I feel the world should know the true story of the
missile emplacement.
"Six months before these missiles were instilled in
Cuba, we had received an acmultion of information
warning us that a new invasion of the island was being
prepared under sponsorshief the Central Intelligence
Agency, whose administrators were humilialed by the
Bay of Pigs disaster and by the spectacle of being
ridiculed in the eyes of the world and heraied in US
goyernment circles. We also knew that the Peitagon
was vesting the ClA preparations with the mantle of
its authority, but we had doubts as to the attitude of
the President. There were those among our informants
who even thought it would suffice to alert the President
and sive him cause for concern in order to arrest these
preparations. Then one day Khrushchev's son-in-law,
Adzhubei, came to pay us a visit before going on to
Washington at the invitation of Kennedy's assóciates.
Immediately upon arriving in Washington, Adzhubei
had been received by the American Chief Exccutive,
and their talk centered particularly on Cuba. A weck
after this interview, we received in Havana a copy of
Adzhubei's report to Khrushchev. It was this report
which triggered the whole situation.
"What did Kennedy say to Adzhubei? Now listen lo
this carefully, for it is very important; he had said that
- the now situation in Cuba was intolerable for the Unit-
"ed States, that the American government had decided
it would not tolerate it any louger; he had said that
peacetul coexistence was seriously compromised by the
fact that 'Soviet influences' in Cuba altered the balance
of strength, was destroying the equilibrium lagreed
18
upon and fat this point Castro emphasized his state-
ment by pronouncing each suble separatelyl Ken-
neily reminded the Russians that the United States
had not intervened in Hungary, which was obviously
a way of demanding Russian non-intervention in the
event of a possible invasion. To be sure, the actual word
communicated to Khrushchev all our previous informa-
tion, the Russians too began to interpret the Kennedy-
Adzhubei conversation as we saw it and they went to
the source of our information. By the end of a month
the Russian and Cuban sovarnments had reached the
definite conviction ithat an invasion might take place
from one moment to the next. This is the truth.
"What was to be done? How could we prevent the
invasion? We found that Khrushchev was concerned
about the same things that were worrying us. He asked
to realize this objective? All our thinking and discus-
sions revolved around this point. We thought of a
proclamation, an alliance, conventional military aid.
The Russians explained to us that their concern was
twofold; first, they wanted to save the Cuban revolu-
tion (in other words, their socialist honor in the eyes
of the world), and at the same time they wished to
avoid a world conflict. They reasoned that if conven-
tional military aid was the extent of their assistance,
the United States might not hesitate to instigate in
invasion, in which case Russia would retaliate and this
would inevitably touch off a world war."
At this point I interrupted to ask how Cub.: could
have been absolutely certain of Soviet intervention.
After all, I said, Stalin certainly "let down" Markos,
the Chief of the Greek Communist Resistance, because
such help would have conflicted with prevailing zones
of influence.
"I know," Castro replied, "but the two situations
cannot be compared." Then he continued:
"Russia was much too deeply committed to us. More-
over, since then we have had every proof of the im-
mense solidarity of the Soviet people and its leaders.
You can sce for yourself how clearly this solidarity is
manifest here. Then there is. something else, specifi-
cally apropos of Stalin. When I was in the USSR and
others, outside Russia, were reproaching Khrushchev
for taking a more conciliatory stand than Stalin toward
the capitalists, Khrushchev confided to me several ex-
amples, which I will not repeat to you, illustrating the
prudence, even the abdication of Stalin. He told me -
and I believe him - that Stalin would never have em-
placed missiles in Cuba.

"It is true that it was said then by other factions
that the real
reason for installing the missiles
because certain internal problems were driving the Rus-
sians to use us to provoke the United States. I am here
to tell you that the Russians didn't want and do not
today want war. One only need visit them on their
home territory, watch them at work, share their eco-
nomic concerns, admire their intense efforts to raise the
workers' standard of living, to understand right away
that they are far, very far, from any idea of provocation
or domination. However, Soviet Russia was confronted
by two alternatives: an absolutely inevitable war (be-
cause of their commitments and their position in the
socialist world), if the Cuban revolution was attacked:
or the risk of a war if the United States, refusing lo
retreat before the missiles, would not give up the at-
tempt to destroy Cuba. They chose socialist solidarity
and the risk of war.
"Under these circumstances, how could we Cubans
have refused to share the risks taken to save us? It
was, in the final analysis, a question of honor, don't
you agree? Don't you believe that honor plays a role
in politics? You think we are romantics, don't you?
Perhaps we are. And why not? In any event, we are
militants. In a word, then, we agreed to the emplace-
ment of the missiles. And I might add here that for un
Cubans it didn't really make so much difference
whether we died by conventional bombing or a hydro-
gen bomb. Nevertheless, we were gambling with
the peace of the world. The United States was the one
to jeopardize the peace of mankind by using the threat
of war to stifle revolutions.
"And so in June, 1oo2, my brother Raoul and Che
Guevara went to Moscow to discuss ways and means
of installing the missiles. The convoy arrived by sea in
three weeks. The United States was able to find out
that weapons were being shipped in, of course; but it
took them tio months to discover that these weapons
were guided missiles. Two months... in other words,
longer than we had calculated. Because, of course, ive
were seeking intimidation, not aggression."
Alliance for Progriss
The conversation now turned to the Alliance for Prog-
ress..
"In a way," Castro said, "it was a goud idea, it
marked progress of a sort. Even if it can be'said that it
was overdue, timid, conceived on the spur of the
moment, under constraint... despile all that Kam will-
ing to agree that the idea in test constituted an effort
to adapt to the extraordinarily rapid course of events in
Latin America. Such as, for example, what we read in
he papers this morning - did you see the news? That
Argentina is nationalizing the oil industry? The Argen-
tine government! Do you realize what that means? This
will cause more commotion on the dew York stock
exchange than Castroism!' The Catholic and military
conservatives of. Argentina, the factions most closely
linked with American interests! There is talk of na-
tionalization of industries there, of agrarian reform
there….. well and good! If the Alliance for Progress
provokes these developments, then it's not doing so
badly; all there things are consonant with the aspira-
tions of the people. I can look back to the days of
Eisenhower, or rather of Nixon, and recall the furore
which broke out when the United States and Cuba to-
gether decreed an agrarian reform which was to apply,
mark this well, only to landowners of over 200,000
hectares! Yes, 200,000! Yet the reaction of the trusts
was terrible at that time. Nowadays, in the other Latin
American countries, because the Communist banner is
used as a bogeyman, the rcaction of the American
trusts is shrewder: They are going to choose strawmen,
so as to rule indirectly. But there will be difficulties.
"This is why Kennedy's good ideas aren't going to
vield any results. It is very casy to understand and at
this point he surely is aware of this because, as I told
you, he is a realist. For years and years American policy
- not the government, but the trusts and the Pentagon
- has supported the Latin American oligarchies. All the
prestige, the dollars, and the power was held by a class
which Kennedy himself has described in speaking of
Batista. Suddenly a President arrives on the scene who
tries to support the interests of another class (which
has no access to any of the levers of power) to give the
various Latin American countries the impression that
the United Sates no longer stands behind the dictators,
and so there is nin mure need. to start Castro-type revo-
lutions: What happens then? The trusts see that their
interests are being a little compromised (just barely,
but still compromised); the Pentagon thinks the strate-
yie bases are in danger; the powertul oligarchies in all
the Latin American countries alert their American
friends; they sabotage the new policy; and in short,
Kennedy has everyone against him. The few liberal or
allegedly liberal presidents who were chosen as instru-
ments of the new policy are swept out of office, like
Bosch in Santo Domingo, or else they are transformed
Betancourt, for example, was not a Balista; noir he
has become one.
"In view of all these things, how can the American
government seriously believe that Cuban subversion is
at the root of explosions taking place all over the
South American continent? In Venezuela, for, example,
are you familiar with the situation there? Do You think
the Venezuelans need us to inderstand what's going
un in their country? Do you think we don't have
enough problems of our own? Right now I ask only
one thing: Leave. us in peace to better our country's
economic situation, to put our planning into effect, to
19

## Page 158
educate our young compañeros. This doesn't mean we
do not feel solidarity toward nations that are struggling
and suffering, like the Venezuclan people. But it is up
to those nations to decide what they want, and if they
choose other regimes than ours, this isn't our business.
"We Have Alionys Lived with Danger".
I asked Fidel where is this all going to end? How will
the situation develop? Even if the United States uses
against you what you call the alibi of Communism, it
still remains true that you have chose! Communism,
that your economy and your security depend on the
Soviet Union, and that even if you have no ulterior mo-
tives in this association, still the United States considers
that you are part of an international strategy, that you
constitute a Soviet base in a world where peace depends
on mutual respect for a tacit division of zones of in:
fluence.
"I don't want to discuss our ties with the Soviet
Union." Fidel Castro cut me short. "I find this indecent.
We have none but feelings of fraternily and profound
total gratitude toward the USSR. The Russians are
making extraordinary efforts on our behalf, efforts
which sometimes cost them dear. But we have our own
policies which are perhaps not always the same (we
have proved this!) as those of the USSR. I refuse to
divell on this point, because asking me to say that I am
not a pawn on the Soviet chessta is something like
asking a woman to shout aloud in the public square
that she is not a prostitute.
"If the United States. sees the problem as you have
posed it, then you are right, there is no way out. But
who is the loser in the last analysis? They have tried
everything against us, crerything, absolutely every-
thing, and we are still alive and getting better day by
day; we are still standing upright, and we plan to cele-
brate with greater festivities than usual, on January 1,
1964, the fifth anniversary of the Cuban Revolution!!
The United States policy of isolating us economically
is less effective with each passing day; we are increas-
ing our trade with the rest of the world. Even with
Spain! We have just sold a shipment of 300,000 tons
of sugar to the Spaniards. Far from discouraging us,
the blockade is maintaining the revolutionary atmos-
phere we need to stiffen the country's backbone. Are we
in danger? We have always lived with danger. To say
nothing of the fact that you have no idea how many
friends one discovers in the world when one is perse-
cuted by the United StalaaNd truly, for all these
reasons, we are not suppliants, we ask nothing. I'll
tell you something else: since the rupture and the
blockade, we have forgotten the United States. We feel
neither hatred nor resentment any more, we simply
don't think about the US. When I think of the problems
20

which diplomatic relations with the United States
would pose! The Swiss Ambassador istepresenting the
Us at present. I prefer to do business with him than
with 2oo members of an Embassy among whom surely
some spies would be spotted.
"I have just talked to you as a Cuban revolutionary.
But I should also speak to you as a peace lover, and
from this viespoint I believe the United States is too
important a country not to have an influence on world
peace. I cannot help hoping, therefore, that a leader
will come to the fore in North America (why not Ken-
nedy, there are things in his favor!), who will be willing
to brave unpopularity, fight the trusts, tell the truth
and, most important, let the various nations act as
they sec, fit. I ask nothing, neither dollars, nor assist-
ance, nor diplomats, nor bankers, nor military men -
nothing but peace, and to be accepted as we are! We
are socialists, the United States is a capitalist nation,
the Latin American countries will choose what they
want. All the same, at a time when the United States
is selling wheat to the Russians, Canada is trading with
China, de Gaulle respects Ben Bella, why should it be.
impossible to make the Americans understand that
socialism leads, not to hostility toward them, but to co-
existence? Why am I not Tito or Sekou Touré? Because
the Russians have never done us any injury such as
the Yugoslavians and the Guineans have complained
of in the past, and because the Americans have never
given us any of the benefits for which these two nations
congratulate themselves today.
"As to this matter of fearing Soviet intentions in
Latin America through Cuba's subversive activitio:..
this is just attributing to others one's own desire tu
dominate. You said yourself just a little while ago tha:
the Russians have had enough of their Cuban involve-
ment. Economically this is obvious. This is why, speak-
ing from a military viewpoint, it is better not to force
nations io turn to the Russians for help. Really, it
seems to me that a man like Kennedy is capable of
seeing that it is not in the United States' interest to
pursue a policy which can lead only to a stalemate. So
far as we are concerned, everything can be restored to
normalcy on the basis of mutual respect of sover-
eignty."
In conclusion, Fidel Castro said to me: "Since you
are going to see Kennedy, again, be an emissary of
peace, despite everything. I want to make myself clear:
I don't want anything, I don't expect anything, and
as a revolutionary the present situation does not dis-
please me. But as a man and as a statesmin, it is my
duty to indicate. what the bases for understanding
could be."
All this was said two days before President Ken-
nedy's death.

The minutes of the June 18, 1964, meeting (dated June 22, 1964)
contained the following:
(OBTAIN COPY] (signed by Peter Jessup)
"A paper was discussed on alleged plans which involve.
the underworld to assassinate certain Cuban leaders.
Mr. McCone was somewhat skeptical of the reported plots and
stated that he would like to go into the matter further.
Others, including Mr. Bundy, felt that the United States was
being put on notice and should do everything in its power to
and pay a de chat got a and pove
ascertain promptly the veracity of the reports and then under-
take prevention.
It was decided that Mr. Bundy would call the
matter to the Attorney General's attention as a
matter of law
enforcement."
Mr. McCone's personal memorandum for the record on this
meeting (dated) June 18, 1964, contains substantially the same
information.
(OBTAIN COPY) It refers to a June 10, 1964, CIA
memorandum "reporting plans of Cuban exiles to assassinate
leading Cuban government leaders."
This memo apparently had
been sent to Special Group members and the Attorney General.

McCone's memo contains the following:
"ACTION: Discuss with General Carter and Mr. Helms steps we
should

communicate with the FBI through Mr. Papich. Also I should
call the Attorney General personally."
The official minutes of the July 30, 1964, 303 Committee

turned to us to say that Kennedy had just been struck

ind exclaimed in a loud voice "Herido? Muy grave-
richie" ("Wounded? Very seriously?")
He came back, sat down, and repeated three times
hewords: "'Es una mala noticin" ("This is bad news.")
He remained silent for a moment, awaiting another call
with further news. He remarked while we waited that
inere was an alarmingly sizable lunatic fringe in Amer-
can society and that this deed could equally well have
he work of a madman or of a terrorist. Perhaps a
Victnamese? Or a member of the Ku Klux Klan? The
econd call came through: it was hoped they would be
able to announce that the United States President was
ill dive, that there was hope of saving him. Fidel
Castro's immediate reaction was: "If they can, he is
ready re-clected." He pronounced these words with
satisfaction.
This sentence was a sequel to a conversation we had
eld on a previous evening and which had turned into
in all-night session. To be precise, it lasted from 10 in
the evening until 4 in the morning. A good part of
the talk revolved about the impressions I recounted
to him of an interview which President Kennedy
granted me this last October 24, and about Fidel
Castro's reactions to these impressions. During this
nocturnal discussion, Castro had delivered himself of
• relentless indictment of US policy, adding that in the
recent past Washington had had ample opportunity
to normalize its reiations with Cuba, but that instead
it had tolcrated a CIA program of training, equipping
und organizing a counter-revolution. He had told me
that he wasn't in the least fearful of his life, since
danger was his natural milieu, and if he were to become
I virtim of the United States this would simply en-
ha. his radius of influence in Latin America as well
is throughout the socialist world. He was speaking, he
said, from the viewpost of the interests of peace in
an even greater President than Lincoln. I know, for
example, that for Khrushchev, Kennedy is a man you
can talk with. I have gotten this impression from all
my conversations with Khrushchev. Other leaders have
assured me that to attain this goal, we must first await
his re-election. Personally, I consider him responsible
for everything, but I will say this: he has come to
understand many things over the past few. months;
and then too, in the last analysis, I'm convinced that
anyone else would be woise." Then Fidel had added
with a broad
and boyish grin: "If you see him again,
you can tell him that l'milling to declare Goldwater
my friend if that will guarantee Kennedy's re-election!"
This conversation was heid on November 19.
Now it was nearly a o'clock and sc got up from.
the table and settled ourselves in front of a radio.
Commandant Vallero, his physician, aide-de-camp, and
intimate friend, was casily able to get the broadcasts
from the NBC network in Miami. As the news came
in, Vallero would translate it for. Fidel: Kennedy
wounded in the head; pursuit of the assassin; murder
of a policeman; finally the fatal announcement: Presi-
dent Kennedy is dead. Then Fidel stood up and said to
me: "Everything is changed. Everything is going to
change. The United States occupies such a position in
world affairs that the death of a President of that
country affects millions of people in every corner of
the globe. The cold war, relations with Kussia, Latin
America, Cuba, the Negro question... all will have to
be rethought. I'll tell you one thing; at least Kennedy
was an enemy to whom we had become accustomed.
This is a serious matter, an extremely serious matter.
After the quarter-hour of silerice observed by all
the American radio stations, we once more tuned in
on Miami; the silence had only been broken by a re-
broadcasting of the American national anthem. Strange
indeed was the impression made, on hearing this hymn
ring out in the house of Fidel Castro, in the midst of a
circl of worried faces. "Now," Fidel said, "they vill
ha: to find the assassin quickly, but very quickly,

otherwise, you watch and see, I know them, they wi?
try to put the blame on us for this thing. But tell i
how many Presidents have been assassinated? Fou
This is most disturbing! In Cuba, only one has bee;
assassinated. You know, when ive were hiding out i
the Sierra there were some (not in my group, in an
other) who wanted to fill Batista. They thought they
could do away with a regime by decapitating it. I have
always been violently opposed to such methods. First
of all from the viewpoint of political self-interest, be-
cause so far as Cuba is concerned, it Batista had been
killed he would have been replaced by some military
figure who would have tried to make the revolutionists
pay for the martyrdom of the dictator. But I was also
opposed to it on personal grounds; assassination is
repellent to me."
The broadcasts were now resumed. One reporter
felt he should mention the difficulty Mrs. Kennedy
was having in getting rid of her bloodstained stockings.
Fidel exploded: "What sort of a mind is this!" He re-
peated the remark
several times: "What sort of a
mind is this? There is a difference in our civilizations
after all. Are you like this in Europe? For us Latin
Americans, death is a sacred matter; not only does it
mark the close of hostilities, but it also imposes de-
cency, dignily, respect. There are even street urchins
who behave like kings in the face of death. Incidentally,
this reminds me of something else: if you write all
those things I told you yamalay against Kennedy's
policy, don't use his name now; speak instead of the
policy of the United States governmcit."
Toward 5 o'clock, Fidel Castro declared that since
there was nothing we could do to alter the tragedy, we
must try to put our time to good use in spite of it. He
wanted to accompany me in person on a visit to a
granja de preblo (state farm), where he had been en-
gaging in some experiments. His present obsession is
agriculture. He reads nothing but agronomical studies
and reports. He dwells lyrically on the soil, fertilizers,
and the possibilities which will give Cuba enough
n the Cho doug,
sugar cane by 1970 to achieve.economic independence.
"Didr't I. Tell You"
We went by car, with the radio on. The Dallas
police were now hot or the trail of the assassin. He
is a Russian spy, says the news commentator.. Five
minutes later, correction; he is a spy marricd to a
Russian. Fidel said: "There, didn't I tell you; it'll be
-myturn next." Butes jil. The next word was; the
assassin is a Marxist deserter. Then the word came
through, in effect, that the assassin was a young man
who was a member of the "Fair Play for Cuba Com-
mittee," that he was an admirer of Fidel Castro. Fidel
declared: "If they had had proof, they would have said

he was an agent, an accomplice, a hired killer. In
saying simply that he is an admiss, this is just to try
and make an association in people's minds betwech ihe
name of Castro and the emotion awakened by the
assassination. This is a publicity method, a propaganda
device. It's terrible. But you know, I'm sure this will .
all soon blow over. There are too many competing
policies in the United States for any single one to be
able to impose itself universally for very long."
We arrived at the granja de preblo, where the farm-
ers welcomed Fidel. At that very moment, a speaker
announced over the radio that it was now known that
the assassin is a "pro-Castro Marxist." One commen-
tator followed another; the remarks became increas-
ingly emotional, increasingly aggressive. Fidel then
had questions: "Who is Lyndon Johnson? What is his
reputation? What were his relations with Kennedy?
With Khrushchev? What was his position at the time of
the attempted invasion of Cuba?" Finally and most
important of all: "What autherity doss he exercise
over the CIA?" Then abruptly he looked at his watch,
saw that it would be half an hour before we reached
Matanzas and, practically on the spot, he dropped off to
slecp.
After Matanzas, where he must have decreed a state
of alert, we returned to Varadero for dinner. Quoting
the words spoken to him by a woman shortly before,
he said to me that it was an irony of history for the
Cubans, in the situation to which they had been re-
duced by the blockade, to have to mourn the death of
a President of the United States. "'After all," he added,
"there are perhaps some people in the world to whom
this news is cause for rejoicing. The South Vietnamese
guerrillas, for example, and also, I would imagine,
Madame Nhu!"
I thought of the people of Cuba, accustomed to the
sight of posters like the one depicting the Red Army
with maquis superimposed in front, and the screaming
captions *HALT, MR. KENNEDY! CUBA IS NOT ALONE. .
I thought of all those who had been led to associate
their deprivations with the policies of President John
F. Kennedy.
At dinner I was able to take up all my questions.
What had motivated Castro to endanger the peace of
the world with the missiles in Cuba? How dependent
was Cuba on the Soviet Union? Is it not possible to
envisage relations between Cuba and the United States
along the same lines as those between Finland and the
Russians? How was the transition made from the
humanism of Sierra Maestra to the Marxism-Leninism
• of 1961? Fidel Castro, once more in top form, had an
explanation for everything. Then he questioned me.

In that very seitative city of Havana to wnich we re-

everything, of a mysterious almost imperceptible rap-
prochement. After all, this American President was able

By Saturday night, even the television seemed worn
out by attempt and failure and ceased to comment and
gave over to a succession of photographs of the col-
imns and the window's and the corners of the White
House and of the shadows of the great Lincoln head
in Springfield and to a voice reciting
"Oh, Captain,
My Captain." It is to be, then, the grand style. But the
ship has. not weathered every storm; Mr. Kennedy is
not Abrahum Lincoln; not because he is. more or less,
but because he is a remembered physical presence and
Mr. Lincoln an image of the plastic aits. One's oun
time is personal, not historical. Just how long will it be
before many of us will want to read a book about the
day Mr. Kennedy was shot?
The news of the President's assassination was given
by a taxi driver to three gentlemen as they left a hotel
on Arlington Strect in Boston. They turned right
around and hurried back inside to allend in their in-
vestments. Packed with students and businessmen a
shuttle plane from Boston to Washingion ivaited for
permission to take off when the captain came on the
intercom: "Folks, up here on the flight deck we've been
listening to the news and the President is dead." There
was only time to hear one woman say, "How dread-
• ful" before three men went back to discussing plan
specifications. A college student reading denmemnon
:o visible attention. One of his notes read, "love-
in-ure!" The plane took off, the stewardess collected
the money and started to serve drinks. Then the cap-
tain was back again they had been listening to more

neivs, that is trying to listen to news because their
real job was lo hear flight control. There had been a
gun battle in Dallas; a patrolman was killed; the police
had taken a man in Tarrie theater. Vice President
Johnson was now the President. The talk of business
vient on through this, and stopped only when the cap-
tain again interrupted to say that the new President had
been sworn in aboard an aircraft. A few laughed.
Ther ask too much of us when they ask us to act up
to the grand style. We are not an emotionally affluent
people: And yet some of us always complained that
Mr. Kennedy did not seem quite emotionally commit-
ted enough. But now someone remembered with special
affection a moment late in the 1060 campaign. Mr.
Kennedy was in a motorcade and the Democratic gov-
cinor who was with him said how wonderful it was to
feel the love with which these crowds pressed forward
to feel the touch of their candidate. "Oh, dry up," Mr.
Kennedy said. It seemed now somehow a special grace
in him that he used only the real in emotion and ab-
stained from fabricating the expected. He had too much
respect for the grand style to counterfeit it; how much
truer to him might we have been if ive had come down
in scale and if the many of us who must have remem-
bered the lines from Cymbeline had thought them
proper to speak

Smith over radiotelephone from
the press car as it careered
toward the hospital, sends out
the first sparse news.
Minneapolis starts to add more

Now reporter Smith is dictating a
story ready for printing.
Smith rolls on, swiftly and
fluently, adding fresh details as
"pandemonium" breaks out
in the corridor outside his
telephone niche.
Searching his mind for
impressions of the shooting,
Smith adds all he can remember
to the story. The shaken wire
operator stumbles in the
second line.
As yet nothing is known of the
sniper, what kind of weapon
he used, or where the
shots came from.

ASSASSINATION OF PRESIENT KENNEDY
Brow
Deputy Attorney General Katzenbach telephoned at 10:50 a.m.
He said he had just completed talking on the telephone with Alexis Johnson,
Deputy Under Secretary of State. Johnson told Katzenbach that insofar as
the investigation of this matter in Mexico is concerned, the State Department
felt this should be coordinated and directed by the FBI. State took the
position that the President's directive to the FBI extended to any activity
outside of the United States, as well as within the country. Insofar as the
Ambassador in Mexico is concerned, Johnson believed he should be kept
informed of any pertinent developments but that the Ambassador should not
be running the investigation.
As to current developments, Katzenbach said that the last thing
he would want would be for the FBI to take Agents away from their investiga-
tive duties to prepare reports. He requested, however, that if there were
any pertinent_developments he be orally briefed.
Move son or titt contine EriK
With further reference to his conversation with Alexis Johnson,
Katzenbach said he had been asked whether the State Department should make,:
a formal inquiry of the Soviet Government for information concerning Oswald
and his wife, particularly as to their activities in Russia.
He asked tinat this.
question be considered by the Director, as Katzenbach felt his views most
important.
In thinking about the matter himself, Katzenbach noted if we
did not ask the Soviets for information there would be no answer should the
question of Oswald's stay in Russia be raised, other than to admit we had
made no inquiry. On the other hand, he observed that we could not place
any reliance on anything the Soviets said.

gist
Memorandum to Mr. Belmont
following recommendations are submitted with reference to the points
raised by Nir. Katzenbach:
1. Insofar as making a formal approach to the Soviet Government,
we believe this undesirable. Such a formal request from the United States
will enable the Russians to put out an official statement entirely favorable
to them.. The United States will have to acopêt this, since it is in response
to our formal request, and we won't be in a position to disprove it. The
State Department has responsibility here and we should not dictate the
position they are to take, but our views should be stated.
2. In connection with the investigation in Mexico, it is
recommended Katzenbach be informed that the State Department and
Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) have jurisdiction in dealing with foreign
governments and in getting investigative results and intelligence coverage
abroad; that while we are cooperating fully with State and CIA in Mexico,
the responsibility in this matter should rest with State and CIA.
If approved, Katzenbach will be so advised."

Dear Mr. Heacock:
Thank you for writing
to me regarding your knowledge of
the activities of the Central
Intelligence Agency.
I understand
that you have discussed these questions at length with members
of the Committee staff.
On March 1 the Committee reported S. Res. 400 creating
a Senate Committee on Intelligence Activities.
The legislation
which was betore us concerned only the establishment of a new
congressional committee; it did not involve revisions that would
n did no.
significantly modify the structure or the powers of the ClA it-
self.
The Conmittee has not been authorized to hire additional
staft personnel for the purpose of this legislation. Further-
we were under instructions from the Senate to report out
a.
formal recommendation in the form of legislation by March 1.
I am, however, deeply concerned with the charges you
have made because, if
true,. they represent grave examples of
corruption and criminality.! It is my hope and intent that the
new committee created by the legislation we are considering,
once it is established, will have the jurisdiction and the re-
sources to explore the
kind of issues which you raise.
I assure you that the entirety of the information you
have submitted to my committee will be made available to the
new Congressional oversight comnittee.
I am sure you understand the constraints on the Govern-
ment Operations Committee which prevent us from undertaking the
investigations you suggest, but I shall forward the material
you submitted to the new committee as soon as it is established.
For your information, I
am enclosing a copy of S. Res.
400 and a copy of the committee's report on this measure.
Sincerely,
Gile itin

COMMISSION ON CIA ACTIVITIES WITHIN THE UNITED STATES
Washington, DC 20500
May 21, 1975
C-x1-72
MEMORANDUM
TO :
File
FroM:
Mason Cargill
Subject: JUSTICE DEPARTMENT DOCUMENTS
On the afternoon of May 20, 1975, I briefly
examined the Justice Department files on the Kennedy assassi-
nation, ranging from February 18, 1969, to January 28, 1971.
According to Mr. Keeney and his secretary who has reviewed
these files in detail, they contain no memo from any State
Department employee who was in Mexico in 1963:
Basically these
files consist of letters from citizens, some referred from
congressmen, and press clippings relating to the assassination.
Mr. Keeney's secretary referred me to several
entries in these files respecting allegations by people
claimed to have been involved in the Kennedy assassination.
One claimed to have been a CIA agent.
There are also many
letters from assassination "nuts."
Other documents relate
to court proceedings to force FBI agents to testify in the
Clay Shaw trial in Louisiana.
One document is an FBI report, dated February 2,
1972,
stating that one Richard von Kleist had contacted the
FBI claiming he had information on the John F. Kennedy
assassination. Kleist claimed certain people conspired in
the Hotel Luna, Mexico City, in July, 1963.
Kleist was not
a State Department employee.
He appeared to be a free-lance
magazine writer.

te: Assassination of the President
that before looking at the FBI as to possible "leaks, " he should carefully examine his
own house. I told him I was quite thoroughly familiar with the way Guthman and
Rosenthal dealt with the press and that as he well knew the wire service people stayed
'constantly in Guthman's private office. I told him it was quite obvious to me how the
AP had learned that the report had been sent over to the Department.
Katzenbach reiterated that he had no complaints against the FBI. He
stated again that the purpose of his call was to tell me about Senator Russell's feelings.
He added that he had another reason for calling and that was to determine
if we could give him any ideas as to how Warren Olney could be dropped as Chief
Counsel of*the Presidential Commission. I told Katzenbach of our feelings concerning
Olney. He stated that he was presently working through Congressman Hale Boggs and
he thought he was going to be successful in getting Olney's name removed from
consideration. He told me that Boggs was very sympathetic.
Katzenbach mentioned that Waggoner Carr, the Texas State Attorney
General, would like very much to see the Director on Friday, 12-6-63. I asked him
what for. He stated that Carr had no particular motive in mind other than to indicate
io the press later on that he had discussed matters with the Director. I told him I could:
see no percentage in the Director's seeing Carr, that we were the investigative
agency and that Carr's dealings should be with the Department and the Presidential
Commission. Katzenbach indicated that the White House might think otherwise. He
stated that the President was most anxious for Carr to be given attention in Washington
inasmuch as Cafr was running for office next year. Ttold Katzenbach I knew this,
however, I still felt that the Director should not be injected into this matter.
Kat zenbach stated he would attempt to disuade Carr from seeing the Director, however,
Carr was quite persistent.
ACTION:
In view of the close friendship which Carr obviously has with the
President, the Director may desire to just shake hands with Carr without sitting down
and discussing facts concerning our report.

An Extract From Kennedy's Address to Press
Washington Post, Tuesday, November 19, 1963, p. A15
(AP) Nov. 18 -- The following is a text of President Kennedy's address
tonight before the Inter-American Press
Association:
"The genuine Cuban revolution -- because it was against the tyran-
ny and corruption of the past -- had the support of many whose aims and
concepts were noble.
"But that hope for freedom and progress was destroyed.
"The goals proclaimed in the Sierra Maestra were betrayed in Havana.
"It is important to restate what now divides Cuba from my country
and from all the American countries: It is the fact that a small band
of conspirators has stripped the Cuban people of their freedom and hand-
ed over the independence and
sovereignty of the Cuban nation to forces
beyond the hemisphere.
They have made Cuba a victim of foreign imperial-
ism,
an instrument of the policy of others, a weapon in an effort dic-
tated by external powers to subvert the other American republics. This,
and this alone divides us.
As long as this is true nothing is possible.
Without it everything is possible.
Ready and Anxious
"Once this barrier is removed we will be ready and anxious to work
with the Cuban people in pursuit of those progressive goals which, a few
short years ago, stirred their hopes and the sympathy of many people
throughout the entire hemisphere.
"No Cuban need feel trapped between dependence on the broken prom-
ises of foreign communism and the hostility of the rest of the hemisphere.
For once Cuban sovereignty has been restored we will extend the hand of
friendship and assistance to a Cuba whose political and economic insti-
tutions have been shaped by the will of the Cuban people."

Unofficial Envoy
An Historic Report from Two Capitals
by Jean Danich
A recent trip. to the United States, followed by a journey to Cuba, made it
possible for me to establish a "'dinlogue" betincen the late President Kennedy ani
Prime Minister Fidel Castro. Since my arrival in Mexico, where this article is
being written, I have bech asked whether the impressions I derived from these
interviers could shed any light on the assassination of the President and on
future relations betecit Lyndon B. Johrison and Castro.
Last wech in these pages I muswered the first question by describing the re-
actions of Fidel Castro, with whom I was visiting at the time, to lol Ken-
nedy's death. Here I shall explore the second question by reconstituting the
Kennedy-Castro dinloguc from the viewpoint of one who uns a witness to it.
THE AUTHOR
TABL
President Kennedy received me at the White House
on Thursday, October 24: My appointment had been
iche luled for 5:30. I waited in the Cabinet Conference
'oom, and at 5:45 the President, following his usual
custom, came to look for me himself so that he could
escort me into his office. He apologized for the delay,
no! so much as a courtesy or to flatter me, but to ex-
plain the scheduling of his time, which seemed to be
ver: strictly organized. As we passed through the small
room where his secretary was working, we caught a
glimpse of Mrs. Kennedy leaving by a French window
on for way to the private garden of the White House.
The President called her back to introduce me..
Ic was still Indian summer in Washington. The
weather was very warm, and both the President and
Mr. Kennedy were very lightly dressed, thus enhanc-
ing the impression of youth, charm, and simplicity
which was in rather surprising contrast to the solemnity
of entering these august chambers. The President
(athletic looking in his well-tailored suit, speaking with
quick, abrupt gestures and a mobile expression but, at
times, freezing up and becoming disconcertingly, al-
moit, I would say, completely expressionless) invited
me to be seated on the semi-circular sofa which was in
the middle of his office. He sat in a rocking chair op-
posite the sofa. The interview was to last from 20 to 25
minutes, and it was interrupted only by a brief tele-
phone call.
The President immediately asked me how the French
situntion was developing. After my reply, he spoke
about General de Galle. He talked in a relaxed fashion,
like someone who has at last found solace in indiffer-
ence after having long been exasperated and fascinated.
John Kennedy was a man who liked to get to the heart
of a matter quickly, abanake decisions even more
rapidly. But this was not possible in dealing with de
Gaulle, who is more difficult to handle than Khru-
slichev. One day, impatient at not understanding the
General's reasoning and intent upon convincing him,
Kennedy telephoned de Gaulle direct. All in vain. Odd-
ly enough, however, since the recent visit of de Gaulle's
foreign minister, Couve de Murville, to Washington
Mr. Kennedy had ceased to be so deeply concerned
about Franco-American relations. The truth is, he had
made up his mind not to worry about them any more.
According to him, it was a waste of time.
"Mr. Couve de Murville and I both verified that we
didn't agree on anything," the President told me. "And
we agreed that such total disagreement was hardly cal-
culated to create a flourishing friendship beticen two
great Western nations. I came to the conclusion that
General de Gaulle's strategy, which is rather incom-
prehensible to me, requires a certain amount of tension
with the United States. It would seem that only through
this tension is it possible to restore to Europe the desire
to think for itself and renounce its torpid dependence
on American dollar aid and political guidance!"
President Kennedy went on to sum up, with con-
riseness and vigor, the points of disagreement between
the United States and France. On the subject of Ger-
many, nuclear policy, Europe, the : lea of "indepen-
ince," he told me what has since become public

THE iN REPUBLIC
knowledge. He added, however, that France had
strange way of manifesting
its independence, part.:
ularly, for example, on the subject of! Vietnam and
Cuba. It seemed ironic and irritating to him that the
French Chief Executive was apparently bent on telling
him how the Uniied States should proceed, without
assuming any risks himself. He told me that no one was
more appreciative than he of advice, information, and
even criticism; but that these were all the more valued
if the friends proffering them were themselves com-
mitted to a program of action.
I then asked Mr. Kennedy what could be expected
from General de Gaulle's proposed visit to the United
States next February. He replied: "Absolutely nothing."
But he followed this up immediately and with a broad
grin, as though savoring in advance the pleasure of
the impending meeting:
"It will be exciting, just the
same. General de Gaulle is an historic figure; he is de-
cidely the strangest great man of our time."
Relations with Cuba
Taking the initiative at this point, I brought up the
subject of Vietnam and Cuba, saying that the Gaullists
were not the only ones in France who deplored certain
mistaken US policies. I pointed out that the first time
Thad the opportunity of mecting John Kennedy, he
was a Senator and had just made a resounding speech
Havana? Here my notes are very specific, and I shall
let the late President speak through them:.
"We haven't enough time to talk about Vietnam,
but I'd like to talk to you about Cuba. Incidentally, our
conversation will be much more interesting when you
return, because Ben Bradlee (of Newsweek] tells me
you are on your way to Cuba now.
"Every now and then I read articles in the European
press pointing out that we Americans were blind to
What was happening in the Cuban situation. I have just
learned that General de Gaulle himself regarded Com-
munism in Cuba as nothing but the 'accidental and
temporary form of a will to independence from the
United States. Of course it is very easy to understand
this 'will to independence around President de Gaulle."
John Kennedy then mustered all his persuasive force.
He punctuated each sentence with that, brief, mechan-
ical gesture which had become famous:
"I tell you this: we know perfectly what happered
in Cuba, to the misfortone du all. From the beginning
I personally followed the development of these events
with mounting concern. There are few subjects to which
I have devoted more painstaking attention. My conclu-
sions go much further than the European analyses. Here
is what I believe.
16
"I believe that there is no country in the world, in-
cluding all the African regions, eluding any and all
the countries under colonial domination, where cco-
nomic colonization, humiliation and exploitation were
worse than in Cuba, in part owing to my country's
policies during the Batista regime. I believe that we
created, buill and manufactured the Castro movement
out of whole cloth and without realizing it. I believe
that the accumulation of these mistakes has jeopardized
all of Latin America. The great aim of the Alliance for
Progress is to reverse this unfortunate policy. This is
one of the most, if not the most, important problems in
American foreign policy. I can assure you that I have
understood the Cubans. I approved the proclamation
which Fidel Castro made in the Sierra Maestra, when
he justifiably called for justice and especially yearned to
rid Cuba of corruption. I will go even further: to some
extent it is as though Batista was the incarnation of a
number of sins on the part of the United States. Now
we shall have to pay for those sins. In the matter of the
Batista regime, I am in agreement with the first Cuban
revolutionaries. That is perfectly clear."
After a silence during which he was able to note my
surprise and my interest, the President continued: "But
it is also clear that the problem has ceased to be a
Cuban one, and has become international - that is, it
has become a Soviet problem. I un the President of the
United States and not a sociologist; I am the President
of a free nation which has certain responsibilities in the
Free World. I know that Castro betrayed the promises
made in the Sierra Maestra, and that he has agreed to
be a Soviet agent in Latin America. I know that thraigh
his fault - either his 'will to independence, his nad-
ness or Communism - the world was on the verge uf
nuclear war in October, 1962. The Russians understond
this very well, at least after our reaction; but so far as
Fidel Castro. is concerned, I must say I don't know
whether he realizes this, or even if he cares about it."
A smile, then: "You can tell me whether he does when
you come back. In any case, the nations of Latin Amer-
ica are not going to attain justice and progress that
way, I mean through Communist subversion.. They
won't get there by going from economic oppression to
a Marxist dictatorship which Castro himself denounced
a few years ago. The United States now has the pos-
sibility of doing as much good in Latin America as it
has done wrong in the past; I would even say that we
alone have this power - on the essential condition that
Communism does not take over there."
Mr. Kennedy then rose to indicate at the interview
was over. I apologized for keeping him to ask two
quick questions. The first: Could the United States
tolerate cconomic collectivism? He answered: "What
three days ago, and our discussions were most posi-

had been in the federal prison for thirty-three months, having been convicted in the
Friar's Club case, a conspiracy in which he was charged along with Maurice Friedman,
Benjamin Teitlebaum, and Manuel Jacobs. (He noted that Hank Greenspun had no involve-
ment either as & co-defendant or unindicted co-conspirator in that case.)
With regard to Bob Maheu, he met Maheu for the first time in the mid-50's
in either Washington or, California
through & mutual acquaintance, Hernan Spitzel.
When questions were asked as to what his
Rosel11'a attorney instructed alm not to luberent quotyene ta the Men of,

Roselli did however indicate how he and Maheu had made arrangements for
Hughes
to live at the Desert Inn when Hughes first arrived there in late 1966. He
said that he had received a call from Maheu, who needed to make arrangements for
Hughes to move to las Vegas from Boston.
According to Maheu, no one wanted to give
Fughes any rooms. Roselli at the request of Maheu left his residence in Los Angeles
and went up to las Vegas and asked his acquaintance. Ruby Kolod, who owned 13% of
the Desert Inn, to accommodate Hughes and allow him to take two of the penthouses:
at the Desert Inn. At the time Maheu was in charge of security and responsible for
seeing that Fughes arrived unnoticed in Las Vegas.
Kolod acquiesced and told
Rosellf that the top floor of the Desert Inn would be available at the going rate,
but that they would have to leave the hotel by New Years.
When the New Years date
was approaching, Maheu called and said that they had received notice fron Kolod and
were suppose to leave their premises.
Rosell then convinced Kolod to allow
them
to stay. At the same time he told Maneu that Fughes should buy the Hotels an

any problems:

receive a finder's fee. Roselll then turned around and-asked Maheu if he wanted to
purchase 1t.
Maheu responded that he would and Roselll turned the matter over to
his attorney Fd Morgan who then handled the matter until the end.
Rosell1 also
instigated some talk about the possibility of purchasing the Sands and, while he did
not negotiate it, received at a later date from Fd Morgan a check for $95,000 which
represented his finder's fee for the sale of both the Desert Inn and the Sands:
Rosell noted that while Moe Dalitz was the owner of the Desert Inn, he
did not negotiate with him because he found him less agreeable than Kolod. He
said
that he had some minor dealings with Dalitz but none of them related to matters
concerning the Las Vegas hotel Industry.
With regard to Ed Morgan, Roselli met him in the middle 50's. Since that
time Morgan has represented him in different Las Vegas Interests. He noted that
Morgan did not represent him in his Friars' Club defense (but did arrange-for JIm
Cantillion, a Los Angeles attorney to handle the matter). He said that he had no
trouble with Morgan's handling of the Desert Inn finder's fee, since he trusted
Morgan Implicity. He noted that Morgan had arranged for John
Rosell to be represent
by Tom Wadden, his present attorney. This representation first began on the appeal
Prom the Friar's Club.
Roselli Indicated that his only present interest in Las Vegas concerns
his holdings in the gift shop at the Frontier hotel. His involvement there started
In 196T when he had an arrangement with Mr. Friedman. This set-up did not work
out
Thereafter he made an arrange-
ment with & Mr. Breen whereby he would furnish Breen with money and lidemnify him
against any losses if Breen would run the gift shop.. This arrangement has worked
out fairly well and he continues to receive his share of the profits each year from
the gift shop. He mentioned that it was his opinion that Breen had been poorly
treated by the Fughes enterprises, since Hughes first purchased the Frontier.
He
recalls, at his last meeting with Maheu, asking Maheu to lend Breen $60,000 for the
gift shop. Maheu said he would get back to him but never did.
Ultimately a loan
was arranged through Perry Thomas at the Valley Bank of Nevada.
Since 1967 Rosell has seen Maheu only once. And while he does not recall
the date of that meeting he remembers that it was in Los Angeles before Maheu had
terminated with Hughes.
He recalls that Maheu was in Los Angeles at the time while
his wife was having a foot operation, and that he called Roselll to have supper.
Roselli has no recollection of the conversation that the two had at supper other
than that they discussed, as noted above, the possibillty of arranging a loan for
Breen at the Frontier Hotel Gift Shop.
He said he has known Peter Maheu since the middle 1950's and that he went
to Peter's wedding reception. His only involvement with Peter occurred whenever
Robert Maheu wanted a message conveyed to Roselli. He recalls no subsequent substantu
discussions with Peter Maheu.
He indicated he knew nothing about larry O'Brien, Tony Fatsis, or Jack
Cleveland. Similarly he has no recollection of ever having met Bebe Rebozo, and
knows of the person only through newspaper articles.

He remembers that this grand jury was
convened sometime in the summer of 1970 and
that his appearance took place before he went to jail, which was January 25, 1971.
He has no recollection of lavia Nissen, the prosecutor, ever having made & comment
about Maheu; nor did he question Roselll about his recollection of his involvement
with Maheu In the Cuban undertaking:
Roselli had very bad words about Nissen and
mentioned that Nissen had once filed with Judge Gray an unsigned and undated state-
ment discussing Roselll's background, which Roselll, and Wadden both said was very
Roselli has no recollection of being asked to be an informer by Nissen.

He said he has no recollection or knowledge of Bob Maheu ever making an

With regard to political contributions, he has never had any discussions

$10,000) to a Presidential campaign. He has no recollection of the Teamsters making
any substantial contributions to the Presidential Campaign. Similarly he has no
knowledge of ferry Thomas making any contribution.
Rosselli has no recollection of ever discussing with Maheu any of

With regard to Hank Greenspun, Roselll has known him since the 50's.
The last time he met Greenspun was when he ran into Greenspun in Los Angeles shortly
after he got out of prison, at which time they talked a few minutes. No questions
were asked and there was no discussion with Greenspun about his Involvement with
Maheu. He noted that Greenspun has never questioned him about any matters.
He noted that he has never met Gordon Liddy, Howard funt of any of the
Cuban Americans who were involved in the Watergate break-in.

MEMORANDUM
John Rosselli is actually Filippo Sacco, born July 4, 1905,
in Italy of parents Vincenzo and Maria Sacco. Vincenzo Sacco
came to the United States after the birth of Filippo, his oldest
child, and in 1911, Mrs. Sacco and Filippo joined Vincenzo in
the United States where they resided as aliens in East Boston.
Filippo Sacco completed the sixth grade in the public
schools of East Boston and was discharged from school in 1917.
By this time Filippo had two younger brothers and two younger
sisters. In 1918, Vincenzo Sacco died. His wife Maria and the
five children moved into the residence of Liberato Clanciulli
and a daughter was born in 1920. In 1922, Maria and Clanciulli
were married.
In 1922, Filippo had a job driving a horse-drawn milk
wagon and was nicknamed "Milky". However, in addition to his
legitimate occupation, Filippo had made connections with the
criminal element in East Boston and was engaged inarcotic
traffic with his headquarters in and around Maverick Square.
On September 14, 1922, Filippo sold morphine to a government
informant named Fisher while under surveillance by a narcotic
agent. On September 19, 1922, Filippo arranged for a large
sale from his "source" and was present and under agent sur-
veillance when the morphine was delivered. On September 29,
1922, Filippo Sacco and his "source" were arrested by Federal
narcotics agents. On October 18, 1922, the Federal Grand Jury
in Boston indicted Sacco for the sale of narcotic drugs and
two days later he was
released on bail. While awaiting trial
in the narcotics case, in Federal Court, Sacco was arrested and
Indicted in Massachusetts State Court for grand larceny and
was released on bail on July 2, 1923.

In 1923, while he was on bail awaiting trial in the
narcotics and larceny cases, Filippo Sacco jumped bail in both
cases and disappeared from East Boston. The Government narcotics
informant, Fisher, disappeared about the same time and Government
sources believe that he may have
been killed to prevent him fron
testifying Because of his fugitive status, both indictments
against Sacco were dropped.
After Sacco's flight from his home in 1923, he spent some
time in New York and Chicago, and finally made his appearance in
Los Angeles in 1924 under the fictitious name "John Roselli."
Sources indicate that Sacco engaged in bootlegging and hijacking
during this period and police records show he was frequently
arrested on such charges as carrying concealed weapons, and sus-
picion of robbery.
After 1930, Sacco became associated with the Al Capone
gang in Chicago and was also closely associated with organized
crime in Los Angeles. Reliable sources relate that he was an
executioner for the criminal organizations in both cities. In
1936, by demands and threats, Sacco forced his way into part
ownership of "Nationwide News Service," a horseracing information
service used by bookmakers across the country.
After prohibition was repealed, Sacco left the bootlegging
business and associated himself with Columbia Picture Studios.
As a close friend of Los Angeles underworld leader Jack Dragna,
Sacco soon became known as a labor muscleman and racketeer for
the movie studios. In 1943, Sacco was indicted on a charge of
conspiracy to extort millions of dollars from movie producers
and a labor union. Also indicted
were union officials Browne
and Bioff, and the following ranking members of the Chicago La
Cosa Nostra family: Frank Nitto (aka Nitti), Louis Campagna,
Paul DeLucia (aka Paul "the waiter" Ricia), Phil D'Andrea,
Francis Manitote (aka Frank Diamond), and Charles "Cherry Nose"

Gioe. In 1944, Sacco and the Chicago defendants were convicted
and all were sentenced to ten years in prison.
In 1947, Sacco and all his co-defendants were paroled
immediately upon their becoming eligible therefor.
There were
indications that their release had been secured by bribery but
admissible evidence sufficient for prosecution was not obtained.
In July 1948, Sacco's parole was revoked because of his con-
tinued association with known criminals and he was imprisoned
until Hovember 1948, when his parole was reinstated. Shortly
after Sacco's parole terminated in March 1954, William Bioff, a
key Goverment witness at the extortion trial was murdered by
the bombing of his vehicle. (The trial judge reportedly had
warned the defendants that if anything happened to Bioff while
they were on parole he would hold them responsible.) Two other
co-defendants of Sacco have also been victims of gang slayings.
Upon his release from prison, Sacco returned to Los Angeles
and again associated himself with a movie studio." Reliable
sources report that this was a front and in fact, through his
close association with Sam Giancana of Chicago, Sacco received
the responsibility of overseeing the concealed interests in
Las Vegas casinos of the Chicago underworld. Sacco lumediately
became a powerful figure in Las Vegas. He travels back and
forth between Las Vegas and Los Angeles extensively and asso-
ciates with the known Cosa Nostra members and major gamblers.
Rosselli appeared before the Kefauver Coumittee investi-
gating organized crime and falsely testified concerning his
association with underworld figures and even his own personal
background.
During the period 1956-1958, Sacco was very active in
the construction and pre-opening operation of the Tropicana Hotel,
and Sacco received the lease to operate the gift shop. The

Nevada Gaming Control Board refused to allow the Tropicana to
open as long as Sacco was associated with its operation, where-
upon the hotel owners were forced to buy back the gift shop lease
at a cost of $180,000, reportedly about thirty times the amount
paid for the lease.
During the above period, Sacco also involved himself in the
production of shows for the Tropicana, but again the Gaming
Control Board refused to allow him to participate in any capacity
and he sold his interest.
Following his ouster from the
Tropicana, Sacco sold Ice machines to most of the Las Vegas hotels:
at prices far in excess of prices on the open market..
Sacco has
also received numerous "finders fees" from various Las Vegas
hotels and casinos for which few if any services were performed.
• In October 1960, Sacco and T. W. Richardson were involved
in placing a wire tap on the telephone of comedian Dan Rowan in
Las Vegas at the request of Chicago gangster Sam Giancana.:
In May 1968, Sacco was convicted of failing to register as
an alien and report his address annually. In the course of that
trial, it was show that birth records in Chicago, Illinois, had
been forged in an effort to make it appear that Sacco had been
born there as John Rosselli. Sacco has long been a close friend
of Edward J. Barrett, County Clerk, Cook County, Illinois, in
whose office the birth records for Chicago were kept.
Among Sacco's underworld associates are the following:
Al Capone - head of the Chicago underworld gang;
Charles F. Fischetti - a Capone lieutenant;
Micky Cohen - gambler and racketeer;
Jack Dragna - leader of the Cosa Nostra, Los Angeles,
now deceased;
Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel - member of Murder, Inc.,
murdered June 20, 1947;

Numerous prospective witnesses in the course of investiga-
tions concerning Sacco's criminal activities have expressed or
displayed fear at the prospect of being called to testify
against him, and a number of witnesses have refused to testify.
In the Friars Club trial, It was apparent that a number of
witnesses deliberately perjured themselves in order to exonerate
Sacco, Including Friedman, Vinnie Donato, Lee Deer, and Nat Ross.
Defendant Sacco was convicted in the Friars Club case in
December 1968 of interstate travel in aid of a racketeering
enterprise and interstate transportation of fraudulently obtained
securities.
He was also convicted of making a false statement in
his income tax return. Sacco has had a long practice of concealing
the source and nature of his income. He was sentenced to five years
in prison.
In view of Sacco's extensive criminal record extending back
more than 40 years, as well as his membership and participation
in the organized criminal syndicate known as Cosa Nostra, we
strongly urge that defendant Sacco's sentence not be reduced for
any reason whatsoever. He is a genuine menace to society and,
in particular, to those witnesses who have testified against him.

Memorandur
MM 2/14/74
To: Terry Lenzner
From: Jim Moore
Subject: Robert Maheu - John Roselli -
Hereis a summary of what I have done on the Roselli- Maheu
HH 54923
connection.
Yesterday I spoke with David Nissen, who prosecuted Roselli in
1968 for being an unregistered alien and for being involved with hidden
owners in the Friar's Club case. Nissen never met Maheu or spoke with
241029
him. However, he did remember that stories about Maheu and Roselli
being involved in anti-Castro plots did come to his attention when he was
investigating and prosecuting Roselli. He couldn't remember the source
of those stories, saying that his information came from many people,
including Justice Department lawyers in Washington and the FBI. One
story he heard was that Maheu tried to intervene in Washington, either
through direct contacts in the FBI or at Justice or through Edward P.
Morgan, to kill the Roselli prosecution on the basis that Roselli had helped
the United States in Cuba. Maheu was reportedly an old CIA agent, • Nissen
remembers hearing at some point that Roselli had gone to Cuba in an attempt
to assasinate Castro •
Nissen said that there are extensive files on Roselli maintained by
the FBI or the Department. Nissen had a vague recollection that the files
contained a story about Maheu somehow being involved in a wiretap on Sam
Giancona, for whom Roselli worked. Nissen also remembered information
about a meeting between Maheu and Giancona regarding. Cuba, but he couldn't
remember any of the specifics.
DooId: 32423629 Page 259

## Page 260
When Roselli came up for sentencing, he was represented by Tom
Wadden, who had been associated in some capacity with Edward Bennett
Williams. Wadden filed a motion to reduce sentence and included with it
two col lumns by Jack Anderson that recounted the story of Roselli and Maheu
trying to assasinate Castro. Nissen thought the motion might also have
included an affidavit from Edward P. Morgan.
The government successfully
resisted the motion on the grounds of fraud, since Wadden produced no
witnesses or documentation to support his claim. I called the Federal Court
in Los Angeles, and they have seat the motion for reduction of sentence and
attached papers to us.
The Clerk there told me that in addition to the Anderson
F. 284
columns, the motion included affidavits from Anderson and Les: Whitten
vouching for the unnamed source of the columns.:
Roselli is now in Florida so he can be reached, but, according to
Nissen, Giancona is in exile somewhere in Mexico.
FRONTIER CASE
Nissen never heard about Maheu being questioned in Washington in
Frontier
lieu of the Grand Jury appearance.
Nissen did not try the/case, because he
had been promoted to supervisory capacity. However, he seemed surprised
that he had never heard of such a meeting. He gave me the names of
three lawyers who handled the case after he gave up direct responsibility.
for it. My phone interview with the first of them, Jerry Ullman, is written
up as a separate interview. The second Lawyer, John Hornbeck, has not
yet returned my phone call.
The third, Tom Kotoski,actually tried the case.
He is now an assistant United States Attorney in Los Angeles and about to
become head of the San Francisco Strike Force. He will be in Washington
Thursday and Friday, February 14 and 15, and I have asked him to call me
as sonn as possible.

MEMORANDUM
PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL
To::
Senator Ervin
From:
Terry Lenzner and Marc Lackritz
Subject: Relevance to S. Res. 60 of John Rosselli's :
testimony about his CIA activities
:..=
Summary:
John Rosselli and his attorney, Tom Wadden, object to
testifying about Rosselli's involvement with Robert Maheu in a :
CIA-financed plot to assassinate Fidel Castro in the early 1960's .
The objection is based upon national security grounds as well as
an assertion by Mr. Wadden that the material is not relevant to
our inquiry under S. Res. 60.
Testimony of Mr. Rosselli about this matter is relevant
and necessary to our investigation for a variety of reasons.
Facts: -
angel Wheator!
During the last year of the Eisenhower Administration, the
CIA apparently financed and organized a plot to assassinate Fidel
Castro. Among the participants in this plot were Robert Maheu and
John Rosselll. Maheu had a public relations business at the time,.
and Rosselli was associated with some alleged organized crime
figures (e.g. Sam Giancana) who had lost substantial gambling
investments when Castro came to power. Apparently, the plot
continued into the early 1960's even after the abortive Bay of Pigs
invasion, but it failed in attaining its objective of killing Castro.
Only a few officials in the government knew of the exis-
tence of the plot at that time.
Justice Department officials stumbled across this infor-
mation about the plot as a result of their investigation into an
illegal wiretap by Sam Giancana in the early 1960's.

4119218.
The information about the alleged assassination plot then
lay dormant in a secret file in the Department of Justice until early
1969; when Assistant Attorney General Will Wilson requested the
file from the Deputy Chief of the Organized Crime Section. The file
was returned to Central Files shortly after t was taken out. ente
" "AsSistant Attomey General Wilson next requested the secret
Justice file in early 1971 in Connection with his interview of Robert
Maheu on January 27, 1971 (see attached chronology). This interview
at the Department of Justice, in lieu of a grand jury appearance, was
arranged by a telephone call to Attorney General Mitchell on January 19,
1971, only one day after Jack Anderson published his first column linking
both Maheu and Rosselli to the CIA plot to kill Castro. (see attached)
...
However, the significance of Anderson's column on January 18,
1971, was that on the same day, Haldeman requested Dean to find out
what he could about the Hughes - Maheu - O'Brien relationship.
In the follow-up memos from Caulfield to Dean on the Maheu-
O'Brien link, Caulfield notes Maheu's prior "covert activities" for the
CIA and advises Dean that a check into CIA, FBI, and IRS files on Robert
Maheu is advisable to avoid a "counter-scandal."
In addition, Assistant Attorney General Wilson showed the
sensitive "Castro file" to Attorney General Mitchell, in January, 1971,
and discussed with him the political implications of the information.
Following the on-the-record interview of Maheu on January 27, 1971,
by Lynch, Wilson and Petersen, Maheu was interviewed privately by
Wilson concerning his prior CIA activities with John Rossell. Maheu
was not forthcoming with information about the plot at that time.
Attorney General Mitchell discussed the contents of the sensitive file
with President Nixon, according to Wilson, who had advised him to do
sO.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the obsession of the Administration in keeping tabs
on Larry O'Brien in 1971 and 1972 was in part motivated by a fear that
Maheu would impart some of this sensitive information about the plot
HH

to O'Brien. Alternatively the objective was to discover if there was
any information about the plot that might be damaging to the Democrats
that O'Brien might possess
from Maheu. And these concerns could
have been a possible motivation for the break-in to the offices of the
DNC and Larry O'Brien by four Cuban-Americans on June 17, 1972,
especially since their directions were to photograph any documents
relating to Cuban contributions or Cuban involvement in the 1972 •
Democratic campaign.
It is for these reasons that we wish to question John Rossellitor:
about the nature and scope of his activities. "

On January 18th and 19th, 1971, there appeared in newspapers
throughout the country nationally syndicated articles by columnist
Jack Anderson alleging that defendant had assisted the Central Intelligence
Agency of the United States Government as set forth in said articles.
The affidavits of Jack Anderson and his assistant, Les Whitten, are •
attached hereto and included therewith are copies of the columns, set forth
as Exhibits A and B. Exhibits A and B were published on the 18th and 19th
of January, 1971. Attached as Exhibit C is a follow-up column which
appeared on February 24, 1971, and Exhibits D and E which are copies
of the office records of columnist Jack Anderson, which were released
and published on April 18th and April 27th, 1971.
The undersigned is informed that at no time prior to the
sentencing of defendant were the matters set forth in Exhibits A and B
of the attached affidavits brought to the Court's attention. It is the belief
of the undersigned that had these matters been brought to the Court's
attention they would have materially affected the sentence handed down
by the Court in this case.
Defendant proposes to file and serve additional affidavits in
support of this written motion and to present the testimony of at least one
witness at the hearing on July 6, 1971. The additional affidavits and/or

LESLIE WHITTEN, being duly sworn, deposes and says the
following:
1. I am employed as principal associate of nationally-
syndicated columnist Jack Anderson, writer of "Washington Merry-
Go-Round".
2. I worked on certain articles relating to John
Rosselli, and services performed by him on behalf of the Central
Intelligence Agency, an organ of the United States Federal GoV-
ernment.
3. As part of my investigation, I twice called William
R. Harvey, a retired Central Intelligence Agency official, now of
Indianapolis.
4. On my first call, in January, I asked Harvey if it
were not true that he had personally intervened with the Justice
Department in order to mitigate the government's prosecution of
Rosselli on the basis that Rosselli had done a 'formidable service
for his country. Harvey said "this is a long story... I don't
think it ought to be printed." I asked him whether it was not
true that he had
a high regard for Rosselli. "I still do," he
earnestly replied.
5. In pursuing the story further, I called Harvey
again in Indianapolis in February and asked him whether he could
\
comment on our story about Rosselli which by now has been pub-
lished widely in the United States. He declined to comment. "But

he twice reaffirmed his "high regard" for Rosselli. I advised
him I was making an affidavit on Rosselli's behalf. and he ex-
pressed concern for Rosselli, asked his present status and said
he would "follow up" on Rosselli's behalf from his end.
6. Based on my part of the investigation, I am satis-
fied that the facts set down in Exhibit A, appended to the Affi-
davit of Jack Anderson, are a truthful account of Rosselli's

AMLASH Case Officer. Yes.
MI. Johnston. Now, you understand that at any time we
refer to your participation or your authorship ofa document or
receipt of a document, we are prepared to substantiate the
reference that we are making, and we are not trying to avoid
proving the fact that it is indeed you that were involved in
the incident. It is simply because we were not able to use
your name.
AMLASH Case Officer. That's right.
Mr. Johnston. Now, you've previously testified before this
Committee, and I assume you've had a copy of the Committee
rules, and we have another copy available in case you want to
refer to them.
And are you appearing here voluntarily today without
& counsel?
AMLASI Case Officer. Yes, I am.
Mr. Johnston. Do you understand that at any point during
this examination you are free to stop answering any questions
and request the advice of Counsel?
AMLASH Case Officer. I do.

AMLASH Case Officer. I do.
Mr. Johnston. All right.
Let me state that the purpose of this interview is to
refine and clarify certain questions about the AMLASH operation.
It is my understanding that you were the case officer on
the AMLASH operation from the time period, say, of the first
of September on through, for all relevant purposes, December "6.1,
and November '64, is that correct?
AMLASH Case Officer. That's right.
MI. Johnston. At this time you were a member of what was
called the Special Affairs Staff, is that correct?
AMLASH Case Officer. That's right.
Mr. Johnston. And that's abbreviated SAS.
AMLASH Case Officer. Right.
=:
Mr. Johnston. Would you describe your position in SAS
and your relationship to Mr. Fitzgerald, who was Chief of
SAS?
AMLASH Case Officer. I was a special assistant to Mr.
Fitzgerald, charged with the responsibility of attempting tom
organize a military coup inside Cuba against Fidel Castro.
MI. Johnston. Did you report directly to MI. Fitzgerald
or your work?
AMLASH Case Officer. Yes, I did.

involved working on the project.
MI. Johnston. What was the relationship betwean SAS and
the western Hemisphere Division under, at that time, I believe,
MI. J. C. King?
AMLASH Case Officer. I don't recall exactly what the
organizational relationship was at that time. I do know that
we operated on a somewhat -- I wouldn't say autonomous basis
from the Division itself, but the chain of command was certainly!
from MI. Fitzgerald, not necessarily through the Division
Chief, but up to the DDP at that time.
MI. Johnston. Who was Mr. Helms.
AMLASH Case Officer. That's right.
MI. Johnston. In other words, there could be direct
reporting from Mr. Fitzgerald to Mr. Helms.
AMLASH Case Officer. Oh, yes.
Mr. Johnston. Is: it necessary that Mr. King was knowledgeable
of all operations of SAS?
AMLASH Case Officer. Not necessarily. I don't know if he
was kept fully advised of all the operations or not.
MI. Johnston. Did he know generally what you were doing?
AMLASH Case Officer. I presume he did, yes.
Mr. Johnston. And how often did he and MI. Fitzgerald

meet to coordinate. They do coordination of their work?
AMLASH Case Officor, I don't know. I wasn't involved
in that part of it.
MI. Johnston. Was SAS targeted directly at Cuba, or
were there other countries under its jurisdiction?
AMLASH Case Officer. No. SAS was strictly a task force
set up to deal with the Cuban problem.
Mr. Johnston. And finally on this general matter, who
did -- who gave the counterintelligence support for SAS operations?
AMIASH Case Officer. We had a Counterintelligence Branch
within SAS.
Mr. Johnston. Who headed that in the fall of '63?
AMLASH Case Officer. I don't recall. There was a change.
I don't recall the name.
MI. Johnston. Let me -- as I stated earlier, you of
course have testified before, and I have before me the
transcript and I'm not proposing really to trap you in any natuge
with this transcript. However, there are some things that were
not asked before that I would like to clarify.
First of all, how and why was AMLASH first contacted to
set up the September meeting that you attended?
AMLASH Case Officer. He had been contacted the year before
in Helsinki, and we found out at that time that he was coming
out to a sporting event in the Western Hemisphere, so we went
down and contacted him.

MI. Johnston. In my review of the file -- and I don't think
we have the document here today, but my notes indicate there
was a cable from Langley to Rome on 19 June 1963, that is in
the AMLASH file.
AMLASH Case Officer. Would you repsat. the quastion?
MI. Johnston. In my review of the AMLASH file, there is
a cable from headquarters to Rome on 19 June 1963 which states
that WIP,, who was your contact with AMLASH, had sent a letter
as part of "an activation effort to reluctant dragon."
I ask. , do you have any recollection or any knowledge
that this was a sign to AMLASH that CIA was back in contact
with him or wanted to go back in contact with him?
AMLASH. Case Officer. I can't comment on that because
I didn't get into the operation until September of '63, and
this took place before I became involved in that part of the
AMLASH operation.
Mr. Johnston.
So in other words, you're saying you don't
really know who made the contact with AMLASH?
AMLASH Case Officer. We had contact with AMLASH from the
year before. He had been contacted by a CIA case officer in
Helsinki.
Mr. Johnston. In July and Mugust, 1962.
AMLASH Case Officer. Rinht.
Mr. Johnston. Then he returned to Cuba.

the best of my knowledge, that he had come out from Cuba

MI. Johnston. In other words, you're not aware of any
prior contact between CIA or an intermediary and AMLASH?
AMLASH Case Officer. Not between that period of time.
MI. Johnston. All right. You met with AMLASH in Brazil
September 5th through 9th. I don't mean you specifically,
but the general meetings with AMLASH were in that time frame.
Is that your recollection?

Mr. Johnston. Do you recall seeing a cable, or receiving
instructions from headquarters to the effect - and this is
after your series of meetings -- instructions to the effect
that headquarters felt that AMLASH appeared hopeless as an
intelligence performer, and should be approached as a chief
conspirator allowed to recruit his own cohorts. He should
be urged to recruit a few trusted friends to assist him
initially in FI and ops reporting and then progress to sabotage
and more serious matters on
a more orderly basis.
Do you recall seeing something to that effect after your
Brazil meetings with him?
AMLASH Case Officer. I don't specifically recall the cable
itself, but certainly that would be in line with the thinking
at that time.
If I may state, he was not considered a controlled asset,

shall wa say, and it was somebody with whom
we felt that we
could collaborate in organizing the internal group.
Mr Johnston. But my summary of the cabla would indicate
thut on September 9th, or after your meetings in Brazil, you
really didn't think of him as a gatherer of information, but
as someone who wanted to go on to other things, as a
conspirator of some kind.
AMLASH Case Officer.. That's right.
MI. Johnston. The file also has a document in it, the
AMLASH file, dated 16 September, marked OFPA 72775. I don't
really know what an OFPA is.
AMLASH Case Officer. It's a dispatch.
Mr. Johnston. In any event, it reports a transcript of
the conversation, and to the best of my ability to understand
the document, it's a conversation of an intercept in thi
The document says "Mary: I don't want to
imagine things, but this thing of" AMLASH -- uses his real
name. I have sanitized this - "Moreno. It is either a
tremendous secret or a top secret matter." And then there is
unreadable portion, and then a word either "treason" or
"reason" I'm not sure what is referred to, and then a partici-
pant whose name is Betty says, "I believe it is a top secret
matter."
My question to you is, did you, in September of '63, kno
about this intercept?

AMLASH Casa Officar. I don't specifically recall today
that I would have known about it. I prosume if we had it in
file, that I was working with it, that I would have seen it.
MI. Johnston. Do you have any information about any recollet-
tion about something on this order?
AMLASH Case Officer. No.
Mr. Johnston. And assume that at least the portion I
quoted seems to reflect on the Cubans' view of AMLASH's
activities in Paris.
AMLASH Case Officer. Yes, it may have. As I recall, I
think that he was
also at
that time -- I may be wrong, and we
would have to go back to the files to check, but he was rather
outspoken to some of his closer friends in the fact that he was
no longer happy with the revolution, with Castro.
MI. Johnston. I don't want to dwell on this, if you don't;
have a recollection, but this conversation seems to indicate
that the employees in the
think that AMLASH is
there on a top secret mission.
AMLASH Case Officer. Probably so because of his independent
way of comportment.
He didn't answer to anybody.
Senator Schweiker. What was his role in government at
that point?
AMLASHI Case Officer. He was -- excuse me, this must have
been '63. He was a personal representative of Castro to the
games, first in Brazil, and I don't think he had a specific

post in '63, as I recall. He had been Deputy Minister of
Interior. He had been a military attache in Spain. I don't think
he had a spocific post at that time.
Excuse me, if I may add just one more point. Before that he
had been President of the Student Federation at the University
of Havana. He may still have been in that post, or about the
time that he was getting out of it, and this is, I think, where

brothers more or less came to ahead.
MI. Johnston. On the 19th of September, Jim Wave sent a
message to headquarters basically warning, giving a warning,
making the statement that there was an anti-Communist group in
Cuba, and the name AMLASH is part of that group, and it concluded
by saying that Fidel is allegedly aware of both the anti-communist
group and a Communist group, and that he acts as a moderator
between them in order to maintain cohesion in the government of
Cuba.
Do you recall receiving that information?
AMLASH Case Officer. I don't recall specifically receiving
that information, but I do recall that at that time Fidel
Castro himself was
talking about -- was concerned about a
Communist takeover of the revolution, and he did meet with the
subject and some other friends of his in order to prevent this.
MI. Johnston.
When was this?
AMIASIl Case Officer.
This was in the early '60s sometime.

been in '62.
Mr. Wallach. This is before his trip to the Soviet
Union?
MI. Johnston. Before Castro's trip?
MI. Wallach. Right.
AMLASH Case Officer. Yes.
MR. Johnston. The question being put is after your
meeting in Brazil with AMLASH, Jim Wave cabled headquarters that
AMLASH was part of a group of anti-Communist Cuban government
leaders and that Castro was
aware of that fact.
AMLASH Case Officer. My answer to you is that he certainly
was because he had been
talking with these people, including
-.-
AMLASH, a year before.
Yes.
Senator Schweiker. Castro was aware that he was anti-
Communist?
AMLASH Case Officer. Yes, that he was one of the anti-
Communist group.
Senator Schweiker. Why would he be so trusted and be the
special representative at that point in time if he war: known
as anti-Communist?
AMLASH Case Officer. Because of the relationship with
Castro. Castro himself had not declared his Communist, more of

less intentions, as of that time.
Senator Schweiker. Wait, this was after the Cuban missile
crisis. This was '63, and the Cuban missile crisis was '62.
I'm confused here.
AMLASH Case Officer. Let's go back to the dates here.
Senator Schweiker.
The Jim Wave date is September 1963,
and he knows at this point, allegedly now, that this AMLASH
was a member of an anti-Connunist group. I have trouble
reconciling that with not pinpointing AMLASH and his possible
subversive agent. I think that is what Jim is getting to.
AMLASH Case Officer. Again, my answer is I don't know
specifically why or what the origin of the '63 J. M. Wave
cable was.
My answer again
to the question is that Castro, from his
previous knowledge, going back to '62, did know and had consulted
with this group of people of which AMLASH was one, who were the
group of Anti-Communist officers in the revolution.
MI. Johnston. So --
AMLASH Case Officer. I don't know why in '63 this report
would have come out, but it would confirm Castro's knowledge
of this group, yes.
MI. Johnston. Let me move on
into October. There was a
meeting with AMLASH.
Senator Schweiker. How long did he tolerate anti-Communist
officers in high positions in his government? I've got to

beliave there's some cutoff here. I realize the unigueness and
broadness of his support earlior, but it would just seem to me
that at some point he really had to weed out, nottnecessarily
weed out of be suspect of anti-Communist officers who had too
high decision making in his government, would he not, or am I
missing something?
AMLASH Case Officer. No, not really, because out of this
group that was mentioned, and with whom he himself discussed
the need in the early '60s to keep, say, the Communists out,
some of those officers are still in his goverment today.
Now, they may have changed, or Castro may have changed, but
he didn't purge all this group of officers. Maybe he won them
over, and if they are still there, evidently he has some
confidence in them.
MI. Johnston. According to the file, there was a meeting on
October 5th, apparently, in Paris, and I'm not sure that you were
the case officer at that meeting, and the cable from Paris
sets the tone of that meeting as AMLASH apparently was trying
to get things off his chest in
talking to you.
were you the case officer at that meeting?
AMLASH! Case Officer. I was the case officer during that
period of time.
Go into a little of the detail because we did talk about
these problems.

In early October 1963, the first meeting on dr about October
5th that AMLASH comes in and says I want to get things off my
chest, and seems to express great dissatisfaction with the
CIA's position.
Then there's a second meeting on October 13th or so where
he specifically asks to meet with Robert Kennedy, and you
previously testified about that second meeting.
AMLASH Case Officer. Yes.
Mr. Johnston.
Now, the file indicates there was an
earlier meeting on October 5th, and AMLASH was complaining
apparently about the low level espionage matters that had been
discussed in Brazil, and implying that he had a more valuable
role to play, and the file says the case officer provided the
necessary assurances that his feelings were not in fact
true, and that his case was receiving the consideration at
the highest levels.
With this problem which had undoubtedly been bothering
AMLASH off his chest, a much more relaxed AMLASH departed,
stating his desire to return to Cuba to undertake the big
job.
Do you recall that
meeting?
AMLASH Case Officer. I think you are getting those two
meetings mixed up. In other words, the later one, yes. I
was there and talking to him in the second meeting. In the
first meeting I don't recall precisely, but there could have

meeting when he first arrived in Paris, and the meeting that he
had -- I don't recall specifically.
I do recall, if I may, I do recall that he said he was
unhappy because of the Ic-juirements, the intelligence reguir.-
ments that we had levied on him in Brazil, and it is true that
his position was at that time, even in Brazil, and later in
Paris, that he was not disposed to cooperate just to furnish
intelligence. In other words, he felt that he wanted to do
something about the removal of Castro but was not just prepared
to keep us advised as to what was going on. He recognized that
this was certainly part of a needed operation, but he did not
consider himself just as a provider of information.
MI. Johnston.
Let me go off the record for a minute
because I want to use a code name.

MI. Johnston.
Having
mentioned the code name that is
used in this cable, you now recall you were at the 5 October
meeting?

Yes.
Mr. Johnston. And the cable, you can look at it, indicates
that AMLASH was in a confessional mood.
My question to you is, after recalling that meeting, was
it basically one where
he was expressing his concern about
the CIA role for him?
MI. Johnston.
He was expressing his concern for what?

AMLASH Case Officer. Yes. He was concerned as to how and
in what way he was to cooperate with CIA. He was also -- and
we must underline this, right from the beginning, dubious
as to our resolve to really follow through on initiating a
coup against Castro.
Mr. Johnston. Is the cable correct in stating that he was
assured that his case was receiving consideration at the
highest levels?
AMLASH Case Officer. Yes.
Mr. Johnston. Was the word "highest level" used, or was
a name used?
AMLASH Case Officer. Highest levels, but at that stage
of the game he knew he was talking to CIA, so highest levels
in CIA is what was meant at that particular time.
Mr. Johnston. That's the word you used?
You didn't say Director McCone?
AMLASI Case Officer. I did not use names, no.
Mr. Johnston.
On October 5th, you reassured him that his
consideration, that his case was receiving consideration at
least at the highest levels of CIA, and the cable reflects
that when he left that meeting he seemed much more relaxed about
the case.
Is that an accurate portrayal of the meeting?

Mr. Johnston. As. I mantioned; thera was another meeting
on or about October 13th, where, as I understand it, AMLASH
made his demand or his request to meet with Robert Kennedy, and
he made that request to meet with Kennedy by name.
Is that correct?
AMLASH Case Officer. Yes, he did.
Well, he said somebody such as, somebody high in the
administration, again, to receive the assurances that we were
prepared to - that we were serious about developing and
organizing a coup.
MI. Johnston. After that meeting, you were recalled to
Langley for discussions, is that correct?

between Paris and Langley, yes. I don't recall if I was
recalled at that particular time, but I would go there --I

Mr. Johnston. I want to set the stage. There is a
message from the Director, 15683, to London, directing you to
return to headquarters for discussion of all facets of the
case.

with someone like Robert Kennedy.

We never discussed that.
Mr. Wallach. In other words, you didn't say to him,
how did you know that robert kennedy - or why did you pick
Robert Kennedy.
AMLASH Case Officer. No, not at all. I mean, it's a
perfectly, I think, logical name to have been mentioned at
that time, because by him, since he was the President's brother
and since he was the Attorney General, he wanted somebody high
In the Government; at one time he had mentioned the President,

President. In other words, he wanted the assurances
from the highest authority, again, from the President of

gone into the sabotage attempts, MONGOOSE, etc, and found out
that Bobby Kennedy did play a role in the sabotage attempts.
What I'm trying to get from you is your understanding of
whether of not. AMLASH, from his Cuban side, knew that the
Xennedy's had played that role and would necessarily say I want
to talk to Robert Kennedy for that reason.
AMLASH Case Officer. No. He never mentioned it, not at
all in any way.
Mr. Johnston. Let me finally go to the October 29th meeting,
and before we went on the record this morning, you were
explaining to us how you characterized the AMLASH operation.
Would you repeat in summary form what you told us before
we went on the record?
AMLASH Case Officer. The operation was never conceived,
certainly, carried out during the period I was associated with
it, but was never conceived as an assassination plot. It was
conceived as a coup in order to organize a military group
within Cuba to overthrow Castro.
Mr. Johnston. Did you have the understanding that if
necessary AMLASH was proposing to assassinate the Castro
brothers?
AMLASH Case Officer. Assassination was not a subject of
discussion that came up at every meeting or contact that we
had with AMLASH. It was so stated by him that he felt that
the only way to initiate a coup
in Cuba was to direct the

since ve vere not tilling to discuss specifically alininating
Castro, this was never discussed in terms of the operation.
We certainly had no doubt that in his mind this was the only
way to go about it.
MI. Johnston. And you dealt with him on that basie?
AMLASH Case Officer. Trying to temporize this, and 1f
possible we were not looking.for a bloody coup at that time,
planning a bloody coup inside Cuba, but we were trying to
sertainly get him to think in terms of much more than just the
elimination of the leadership.
Mr. Johnston. And to broaden it.
AMLASH Case Officer. To broaden it into a coup. Our
interest was the coup, not the specifics of how he got it
started.
MI. Johnston.
You: were: concerned about whether his
plans were realistic, weren't you?.

Senator Schweiker.
Did you personally evaluate AMLASH
as fully capable of leading a coup and being able to implement
it and carry it out if support were given?
How did you evaluate AMLASH?
As I understand from the dialogue here, and also from
reading a summary of these, at first the operations talk was
fairly low level sabotage, which he out of hand rejected, and

he pictured himselt as a leader of a top lovel effort on the
condition that it had assurances of government support and top
level support here.
Now, I guess my question to you 1s, how, as case officer.
did you evaluate his capability? Did you evaluate him as
someone who could lead a coup and who would, that our government
could put trust in, faith in in terms of his abillty to carry it
out or not?
AMIASH Case Officer. At that time we did not evaluate
him as the leader of a coup. le was not our candidate to be
the next ruler of Cuba. He was only evaluated in our dealings
with him on the basis of what he and his group could contribute
to a coup inside Cuba.
So I don't recall at any time that he was selected or that
anybody ever talked of him as the next leader in Cuba.
MI. Baron. Wasn't there some thought that he would be a
good rallying point for strong leaders of a new government in
Cuba, that he had an ability to attract good people to work with
him?
AMLASIl Case Officer. He had proven this because he had
been one of the two leaders, or the two top leaders of the
Directorado Revolutionario, which is the Revolutionary Directorate
which is a group not part of the 26th of July Movement, but a
separate group, which is - he was one of the leaders, and
became a military commander of that group, separate from the 26

so he had a group in the DR which we knew about, and he
afforded himself very well in the fighting -- this was in the
province of lasvillas, during the time that Castro was -- he
was in a separato area of the country.
MI. Baron. I had a recollection which I haven't checked
against our transcripts that when we discussed this before,
you had said although AMLASH might not be considered the leader
of a new government, that he was a potential candidate for that
job. He might not be a good military leader, but he would have
an ability to bring good people together in a new government.
AMLASH Case Officer. Of the people left in Cuba at that time,
we didn't have much of a choice.
I mean, you know, we weren't
in contact. He was one of the few who could travel.
Senator Schweiker. You put him up near the top but not
necessarily at the top.
AMLASH Case Officer. That's right, as one being able to
contribute.
Senator Schweiker. And you didn't have too many options
at that point.
AMLASIl Case Officer. That's right.
Mr. Johnston. One of the documents that CIA previously
provided us in a sanitized version is a memorandum for the
record dated 19 November 1963, and the subject is Plans for
AMLASH Contact, and let me just show you that and ask you

AMLASH Case Officer. Yes, I recall.
MI. Johnston. You prepared that document?
AMLASH Case Officer.
I believe I prepared the memorandum
from which that extract was made, yes.
Mr. Johnston. When did you prepare that?
AMLASH Case Officer. It had to be late October sometime.
Mr. Johnston. November 19th is the date.
AMLASH Case Officer. Early November, certainly after
my October meeting with him in Paris, and before going back,
19 November, that's probably it.
MI. Johnston. Is that the date you prepared it?
AMLASH Case Officer. That's the date I prepared it. I
don't remember when I returned from Paris after the October-
meetings.
Mr. Johnston. You prepared a memorandum for the record
on the contact before you went to the meeting in Paris on
November
22nd?
AMLASH Case Officer. Oh, yes.
MI. Johnston. Part of that document, Paragraph 3, states
that you would show AMLASHl a copy of the President's speech in
Miami.

him a copy of the speech, but as I recall it was not shown him.
I talked to him about it, but I don't recall having shown him
the speech. But it was probably clear that I could have taken
a copy of that speech to him and shown 1t to him.
Mr. Johnston. Paragraph 4 of that document states..
would you just read it?
AMLASH Case Officer. "Chief SA has requested wiltten
reports on AMIASHl operation be kept to a minimum."
MI. Johnston. And that's Desmond Fitzgerald, is that
correct?
AMIASH Case Officer. That's correct.
Me. Johnston. Did MI. Fitzgerald tell you that on
November 19th?
AMLASH Case Officer. It might not have been the first
time he mentioned this because -- in other words, on sensitive
operations it was always a case of trying to limit the number
of people aware of sensitive operations and this certainly is
considered in that category.
He reiterated, I presume, since I put it in the memo at
that time that the written communications would be minimized.
MI. Johnston. And this is a memorandum for record.
AMLASII Case Officer. Remember also this is primarily the
cahles because I had to communicate with headquarters and the
station in Paris. I didn't have my independent communications.

Ms. Johnston. Where were you on November 19th?
AMLASH Caso Officer. At headquarters. He told me this
personally.
MI. Johnston. Okay. Is lt normal to prepare a memorandum
for the record about plans for contact:of an agent?
AMLASIl Case Officer. Normally, yes.
Mr. Johnston. So there's nothing unusual in your preparing
this memorandum for record. Is that your testimony?
AMLASH Case Officer. No, there wasn't anything unusual
about it. That's the usual thing unless advised to the contrary.
Mr. Johnston. The last time you testified before the
Conunittee you mentioned on November 22nd you had a pen-like
device with a hypodermic needle on it. This memorandum for
record of November 19th does not mention that.
Is there some reason that it doesn't?
AMLASH Case Officer. No, I don't remember why it would
not have been mentioned. I don't recall when I left for Paris.
I may have left for Paris on the 21st and --
Mr. Johnston. I think that's correct.
ALASH Case Officer. I don't know if the decision had!
been
made that ve would even show him something like this
that time.
Mr. Johnston. You're talking about the l9th?

When you left for Paris my understanding

AMLASH Case Officer. That's right, I carried 1t with me.:
MI. Johnston. And you had approval to show it to him?
AMLASH Case Officer. I had approval to show it to him.
MI. Johnston. The file Indicates that AMLASH was contacted
on November 20th; I belleve, in order to set up the November
22nd meeting and he was telephoned by, I assume, somebody in
Paris.
Did you arrange that or were you knowledgeable of that
fact?
AMAS Case Officer. Yes. I was going to go there to
see him. We would have made arrangements to set the meeting up.
Mr. Johnston. The cable reporting the telephone call on
November 20th states that somebody apparently was in the room
with AMLASHl when he was telephoned, and that therefore there
had to be a telephone conversation by the CIA agent calling
him and the CIA agent --
Pardon me. AMLASH asked if the meeting would be of interest
to him, and the CIA agent
said, I don't know if it's going to
be of interest to you but it's the meeting you requested. And
I ask you your understanding of what was meant by the meeting
that you requested?

the primary point which had not been, ha had not been informed
of this at the previous meeting with fitzgerald, so were we
going to give him that materiali In other words, it was given
to him later in the caches, was that material going to be given
to him?
MI. Johnston. What about the pen device?
AMIASH Case Officer. The pen devico was something again, i
It could have been part of that package.
I don't think he was
specifically asking about the pen device because we had been
so reluctant to even discuss something like this with him and
he knew it that he was primarily concerned with the caches.
MI. Johnston.
Is it correct to say that at the October
29th meeting AMLASH was happy with the U.s. policy but asking
for equipment to do the job?
AMLASIl Case Officer. Io initiate the coup.
In other words, he didn't want a massive amount of
equipment but he said we do need some equipment to get the
thing started.
Mr. Johnston. And that that was in his mind on November
20th.

Officer.
When he made the call?
Mr. Johnston. When the call was made to him and he was
told that the November 22nd meeting was the one that he had

not if it was or anything like this because Paris didn't know
what we were prepared to tell him at the 22 November meeting.
Mr. Johnston. As you said before, you were at Langley
on the 20th. There's a cable indieating you loft washington
arriving in Paris on the morning of November 22nd.
Is that your recollection?

meeting.
Mr. Johnston. Okay, Let's go then to the November 22nd

back-up support so that you could be assured that you were not

AMLASH Case Officer. No, I took the necessary precautions
In going to the meeting to assure myself. I didn't have somebody
else following me to tell me if I had any surveillance on me.
Mr. Johnston. What about AMLASH?
MIASIl Case Officer. We don't know. I don't know if
he was counter-surveilled.
Senator Schweiker. Could AMLASIl have been a double agent?
AMLASH Case Officer. That's a good question. I can only
give you an opinion. I didn't think so then and even with
everything that has happened today, I don't think so today.
Again, that is strictly my opinion.
Senator Schweiker. In a nutshell, and I realize this is
a very difficult, complex area, why don't you think so?
AMLASI! Case Officer. Because of the power play that
was taking place in Cuba at that time between certainly the
26th of July people and Castro trying to consolidate his
position, this was the early 'Gos now, around his people and
his movement, the fact that we had information from several
sources that he was disillusioned with the revolution.
Senator Schweiker. He, meaning AlLAS!l?
MALASH Case Officer. He, AMLASH, was disillusioned.
Senator Schweiker. And he wasn't in the 26th of July?
AMLASH Case Officer. lie was not in the 26th of July.

He was DR, So he was not a member of Castro' July 26th mövement
He was one of the other revolutionary groups which had student
support primarily and urban support and compared to Castro's
rural so-called support.
So there was a struggle going on there. In other words,
this was not an imaginary type of thing. The background that
we could check did not, to the best of my recollection at any
time lead us to belleve.in our relation with him at that time
that he was playing a double game.
The other reason that I felt that way at the time was that
we had to persuade him to return to Cuba to stay. He was
ready to defect, to leave. He didn't want to come to the
United States with all the rest of the Cubans who were here
because he had stayed on, he felt, too long with the revolution.
But he was ready to leave Cuba and to defect. He was fed up
with the way life was. A lot of the travel that he did was
that he would take any opportunity to get off of the island.
ile had told us; me personally, that and this was also confirmed
by other sources.
Senator Schweiker. Wouldn't one of your reasons also
be that he is in jail now?
AMLASII Case Officer. That would be a very good reason.
I think I mentioned
that the last time, certainly when I was
talking ahout this. If he was taken back --

We checked that I belleve the last
time, I think the last report we had was what, a couple of
years ago?
Mr. Baron. I was given the name of a CIA
contact in
Plorida who had been on the Island of Plies at one point and
said as far as he knew, although he hadn't been in Cuba for
several years, AMIASH was a prisoner, but he wasn't in prison.
He was doing some sort of hospital work which was considered
part of his rehabilitation program.
AMIASH Case Officer.
He was a doctor, wasn't he, for
the prison?
Mr. Baron. Yes.
AMLASH! Case Officer. lie had more freedom because he
was being used as a doctor for the prisoner but he still was
still on the Isle of pines.
MI. Baron. It is my understanding that he was working
as a doctor even outside the prison and again, this is just
hearsay of one contact that I called on the phone.
Mr. Wallach. Are you positive that someone just not
using his name is there, that he switched over using an alias?
You wouldn't have intelligence of that type?
AMISSIl Case Officer. No.
Mr. Wallach. I want to quickly follow-up on somethin:
that Jim and the Senator were getting at.

You have told us --
AMIASI Case Officer. We were very reluctant to discuss
the subject.
Mr. Wallach.
Why?
AMLASH Case Office.
I guess we didn't want to get involved
In assassinations.
MI. Wallach. But you had them before this.
AMIASII Case Officer. I didn't know this, and certainly
In this operation the objective of this operation was not to
in and assassinate Castro but a much bigger type of progran.
Mix. Wallach. But that was the first step, or at least
the potential first step.
AMLASH Case Officer. He was convinced that was the only
first step. AMIASIl. We weren't convinced that it had to be,
at that time that it had to be the first step, and that's why
we didn't want to discuss and we didn't discuss and we were
reluctant to discuss this subject with him.
MI. Wallach. At the late October meeting I think you
said before that - what did you request that led to the giving
him of the pen, the hypodermic needle?
AMLASH Case Officer. The pen he requested was something
with which to protect himself now.

himself?
AMIASIl Case Officer. He put himself in a situation and
asked us the question. He said I may be confronted by Castro
or by Raoul or by one or the other of Castro's people in a
meeting in which I am not armed, and I may be confronted with
an accusation of plotting against the regime.
And at that time he said this would be before we are
ready to move in formenting the coup, and ho sald, I would lixe
to have something with which I can protect myself at that time.
In' fact, the words that I think I mentioned here before was,
1f I fall, I don't want to he the only one going down.
So he was seeing himself in a situation of going back into
Cuba, of being in a meeting in which he could have been, because.
again, of the relationships. Fidel Castro himself or Raoul
Castro could confront hin in their office, accuse him.
Ir. Wallach. Couldn't he use that pen offensively and
not defensively?
AMLASI! Case Officer. Yes, he could have. He was not
at that time talking about using it offensively and we weren't
discussing the offensive use of that pen.
Sanator Schweiker. Following up the point that I
switched away from as to whether Cuban intelligence might have
been trailing him or following him or observing what you were
doing with him, we have some knowledge, I gather, from a summar:

If this 1s correct, wouldn't that pretty well mean that
whatever he was doing over there might well be observed by
Cuban Intelligence even though he might have been a straight
single agent in terms of working with us and not a double agent
that they may well have known or monitored what in fact he was
doing with us?
AMIASH Case Officer. This is possible, Senator. We
had no indication at the time that they were monitoring his
activities. Again, he vas at such a level and the people
certainly in Paris and the Cubans overseas knew that he was
at such a level that we never heard that they were ever given
this mission.

mistress was working. with. Cuban intelligence?

but let me remind you that he was the Deputy Minister of
the Interior, which did have the security services at that time
under that ministry. So it wouldn't surprise me that there would

Did you take any special precautions aside from the standard
precautions that you would take in dealing with any foreign
contact?
Were special precautions taken in dealing with AMLASHl
to guard against the prospect that he was either a double agent
or under surveillance by Cuban intelligence?

techniques that you could use, than I could tell you.
ALASI Case Officer. What I would do is to make sure
that I wasn't under surveillance in going to the meeting or
at the meeting, and we would certainly check the meeting places
to make sure that the meeting places were not under surveillanca
by them, which would adso hopefully would have picked up in
the surveillance that he would have had on him coming to the
meetings.
I don't recall that we ever put him under surveillance
in Paris, which would have meant disclosing our interest in hin

Agaln, I refer you, I think, to what the sénator raised
before, that he was arrested and sentenced, and as I recall,
I may be wrong but as I recall the contacts that we had with
him In Paris never surfaced in that trial. le never, as far
as the transcript that we have of the trial, he never reported.
he never testified about the contacts that he had with us.
It was only afterwards when he was in contact with the exile
group.
MI. Baron. So you never took any affirmative action
against him or investigated him or treated him in any way that
you would treat a person suspected of being a double agent
or being closely watched by an intelligence service?
AMLASH Case Officer. Not. In mounting an investigation
against him because in doing that we would have to show our
interest in him to other people, so we did not do that.
What we could do with myself and with the other knowledgo.
able people say in Paris, of him, we did do and did everything

Mr. Johnston. Let me go back to the November 22nd
meeting.
As you recall, aftanayou met AMLASHl there, did you give
him the newspaper article about the Kennedy speech?
AMIASI! Case Officer. I don't recall. I may have shown
him the article. To the best of my recollection, we talked about
the speech and he had, I think, at that time, the article had
already appeared in the French newspaper and he had read it.
Mr. Johnston. What did you tell him about the article?
AMLASIl Case Officer. Well, he liked the article. It
was one in which I think the Administration, as I vaguely recall,
was taking a rather positive stand.
Mr. Johnston. Was this Kennedy's speech before the
Inter-American Press Association in Miami on November 18th?
AMLASI! Case Officer. I believe so.
MI. Johnston. I have an extract from that.
AMLASII Case Officer. I'm not 100 percent certain, but
I think it was.
MI. Johnston. There's an indication that you told hin
that Fitzgerald helped to write the speech.
Do you recall doing that?

your best recollection about what happened to the pen? Did
he take it with him? Did you take it with you when you left
the meeting?
‚AMLASH Case Officer. Again, as I mentioned to you the
last time, I don't remember specifically if I kept the pen and
threw it away or if he kept it.
What I do remember;was his reaction when I showed him
the pen. I can't today tell you for sure that he kept the
pen.
Mr. Johnston. It seems to me that's rather compromising
evidence, if he kept the pen and you recall that. It's also
such compromising evidence - I have difficulty believing you
would have thrown it away.
AMLASII Case Officer. Yes, because it was compromising
evidence. I had carried 'it one way. I mean I wasn't going to
carry it bach. It was nothing but a Papermate pen in which
a hypodermic needle had been inserted.
In other words, it wasn't a $10,000 piece of equipment
or anything like this.
Mr. Johnston. I agree, but it's a very compromising
piece of evidence to have around.
AMLASH Case Officer. That's right. But what I can't

MI. Wallach. Why do you believe he wouldn't have taken
it with him?
AMIASIl CasE Officer.
l'e said he wnuldn't. I specifically
remember this.
He says, and then later on he says, I'm not
going to take any compromising material back with me.
This would have been a piece of compromising, material.
He did not like the pen. The only point probably that we made
with him is that we were willing to consider, because he knew
our opposition to something like this, that we were even willing
to consider showing him something that -- whether he could
again defend himself.
He did not think it was a good idea.
Senator Schweiker. What kind of weapon or substance
could he get that would not compromise him? I'm a little
confused. He wanted something to defend himself, but he
doesn't want anything
that will compromise him.
Unless you have a disappearing weapon, what could he
possibly get that would not compromise him to take back?
AMLASIl Case Officer. Well, we were talking also about
caches inside Cuba at that time, so it could have been dropped
to hiin inside Cuba. He didn't exactly have to take it back
with him.

In other words, here again, the whole idea of this was
not to give him something there that he would be able to take

Cuba.
Mr. Johnston. Can you be positive that he did not léave
the meeting with the pen in his possession?
AMLASH Case Offiner. I cannot be positive that he didn't.
I'm almost sure that he didn't.
Mr. Johnston. Did you ever ask him for the pen back?
Do you recall asking him to give you the pen back before the
meeting concluded or after the conclusion of the meeting?
AMLASII Case Officer. Since I recollect his reaction to
It that, you know, it's no good, I just can't logically belleve
that he would have kept the pen. This is the point. But I
don't specifically recall what was done with it except that
it was probably destroyed.
In other words, you know, broken, throw the needle out
of it and break the pen.
Mr. Tohnston.
Do you recall asking him to give you the
pen back?
AMIASH Case Officer. No, but I don't recall that he
took it in the first place, because what I recall is, gee, is
that the best that you can come up with type of thing.
So he was not in any way enthused about what we had shown

MI. Johnston, Let me ask you, is it correct you did
promise him at this meeting that you would drop rifles with
telescopic sights for him in Cuba?
MIASH Case Officer. That's right.
Mr. Johnston.
Was there any mention of paying him money
to
support his coup plans?
MIASIl Case Officer. lle had never really asked for
money. In promising him full support for the coup, if money
was required I presume that could be conjecture that he could
get that also, but he did not specifically ask for money.
Mr. Johnston.
was there discussion of his escape in
the event he assassinated Castro or killed Castro but did not
pull off the coup?
AMLASI Case Officer. At the last meeting I don't believe
that was discussed.
Mr. Johnston. At your prior meeting?
AMIASIl Case Officer. If it was, it was touched upon,
but as I recall, and this is from reading the file afterward.
where this was discussed was a year later when he was in contras,
with the exile group. I thin'. it was with the exile group ta!.
ha was then concerned about, how do I get out if something
goes wrong and we can't pull the coup.
But we did not at the 22 ovenber meeting, I don't lili:
we discussed that. In fact, I'm sure ve didn't discuss it.

were off the record the fact that the assassination occurred
at 12:30 in Dallas, which we think would have been around 7:30
in Paris, and the meeting was then over at 10:00 o'clock.
When you walked out of the meeting you testified previously
that you heard about the assassination.
Is that correct?
AMLASH Case Officer. That's correct.
Mr. Johnston. And that's the first word you heard about
the assassination?
AMLASIl Case officer.
Yes.
Mr. johnston. You previously said that AMIASil made a
comment about that. Was there any other discussion of the
assassination by AMLASH?

at that time.
No. Johnston. I don't understand. If the meeting is

who-told
us he had just heard on the radlo about the assassination when
we came out of the meeting, Ne didn't go or come together
to the house, lie left on his own and then I left after he left.
Mr. Johnston. So in other words, what you're saying is
that you're not walking out of the building but you're in the
house and the meeting is over and
knows that the
meeting is over and that he tells you.
AMIASIl Case Officer. We came out of the room, out of
the:study in which we were holding the meeting, and when we
came out of that into his living room he told us what he had
just heard on the radio.
Mr. Johnston. And then AMLASil made this comment and
walked out of the door?
AMLASII Case Officer. AMIASIl made this comment and
shortly thereafter I don't recall, we finished our business.
He was -- I don't remember the exact quote. You have it on
the record there, like why does it have to happen to somebody
like that.

I don't bellove he did, I don't

done 1s pull the hypodermic needle out of 1t, that's very
simple, and then it's just a pen, throw the pen away of keep
the pen.
It's not a complicated object, in other words. It was
very simple to just pull the hypodermic needle out of it, and
that's probably what was done. But I don't recall specifically
that I did it.
Bir. Johnston. Did you do that after the meeting was over?
AMIASH Case Officer. No, it was during the meeting, not
after.
MI. Johnston.
Now there's an indication that you got
instructions from Washington after the meeting to break off
contact with AMLASH.
Do you recall receiving those instructions or instructions
to that effect?
NILASI Case Officer. Yes, there was a cable, I
believe, as I recall. It wasn't necessarily to break off contact
with AILASH because everybody knew that that was the last
meeting. He was preparing to, we knew this, he had been preparin;
and we had been talking to him since October since he was out
about his return to Cuba.

Mr. Johnston. I'm not sure exactly what was left or
what he received or what was available.
AMLASH Case Officer. And I don't know if he ever picked
them up. I don't think we know that.
Mr. Wallach. Why did he
tell you he wanted the rifles
with telescopic sights?
AMIASIl Case Officer. Well, he wanted grenades and he
wanted dynamite too to storm the headquarters later on. We
said, well, look, could you expand this somewhat too, and he
was talking about, well, yes, and we should probably attack
the radio station at the same time. It was a matter of attackiro
a building, whether it was a radio station or whatever it was.
in order to, in his mind, he was probably thinking of attacking
the headquarters, Castro's headquarters.
HI. Johnston.
Let me
refresh your recollection. In
your previous testimony with the Select Conmittee on page 114
you stated:
"When we came out of that meeting le heard the news
of President jennedy's assassination and I received a cable
after that which I thought that this was probably the reason
the whole operation was being

And on page 115 of your prior transcript
you said, "well, the whole Cuban operation, the way I interpreted
It, was being called on."
Did you receive a cable to that arrect?
AMLASH Case Officer. It was, a very cryptic cable saying,
you know, return to washington, which I was going to do anyway,
so this is why -
Mr. Johnston. Did It say to breal off contact with
AMLASH?
AMLASI Case Officer. I don't recall that it did but
it didn't make any difference because headquarters knew that
that was the last meeting with him before he was returning to
Cuba anyway.
So there was no reason to tell me to break off contact
with hin. This is what I'm trying to say.
Mr. Johnston. Supposedly the 1967 IG report, and I
don't know where they got their information, said that was an
OPIN cable.
AMIASI Case Officer. That's Operation Immediate. In
other words, It's an immediate cable. That set precedence
on the cable.
Mr. Johnston. And what does that mean for transmitting

transmitted before a routind

If you're going back to asking about normal hours that
we kept during that period of time, Sunday was just another
working day, so you know, it wasn't because it was Sunday that
we would not have been in the office.
Mr. Johnston. But you con't recall being in the office?
AMLASIl Case Officer. I don't recall being in the office.
When we heard the information that Oswald was involved, I
could very well have been home.
Mr. Johnston. Do you recall being in the office when
you heard that Oswald was shot?

NO.

What would have been ususual is for me to have called the offica

And then I either talked to Fitzgerald who would have been,
he would have been the only person I would have talked to. If

AMIASHI CapE OILICEr. No.
Mr. Johnston. Did you talk to anyone in technical
services about the pen device: or: the meeting?
AMLASH Case Officer. Not at the time, no.
Mr. Johnston. So it was your recollection that the only
one you talked to in this time perlod of November 23rd and
November 24th, November 25th about the meeting in Paris is
Mr. Iltzgerald?
AMIASH Case Officer. To the best, of my recollection, yes.
MI. Johnston. And what is your recollection of that
discussion?
AMIASH Case Officer. The report, as to what had taken
place, reporting that he had not thought highly of the device
that we had provided him with, that he did not intend to carry
it back, that he was pleased with the fact that we had decided
that we would put caches down for him inside Cuba, the
reaffirmation of U.S. support for his movement inside of Cuba,
the fact that he had decided definitely to return and had
made his reservations to return, and his dismay and his
reaction when he had heard that Kennedy had been assassinated
when we got to the meeting.
Mr. Johnston.
Was there a discussion about any link
between ALAS!! of your cuban operations and the Kennedy
assassination?

AMiSH Case Officer", None whatsoever that I can remember.
MI. Johnston. No discussion betwean you and Fitzgerald
at all about any connection?
AMLASIl Case Officer. No, not that I can recall.
MI. Johnston. When you say not that you can recall, are
you saying that it's possible but you don't recall it, or are
you certain, fairly certain to the best of your recollection?
MMLASH Case Officer. I'm fairly certain to the best
of my knowledge that there was no connection botween the MiliSil --
in other words, that we discussed it, we discussed the Kennedy
assassination. I'm
sure we did. I mean who wasn't discussing
the Kennedy assassination at that time. That we tied the
Kennedy assassination in with AMLASIl, I don't recall any kind
of conversation of that nature.
Mr. Johnston. On November 23rd and November 24th and
Movember 25th?
AMLASH! Case Officer. Right.
Mr. Johnston. All right. Let me point you to one of
the documents we wanted to ask you about and it is a contact
report dated 25 November, and let me just show that to you.
Is that a document -- let me
state for the record what
it is.
It's the original, apparently copy, of the November 25th
contact report of the November 22nd meeting.
Did you prepare that contact report?

Yes, it's a contact report of my
meeting with MMLASH.
Mr. Johnston.: And you prepared that document?
AMLASH Case Officer. That's right.
MI. Johnston. But you did not type it?
MILASIl Case Officer. I did not type 1t, so I could have
dictated it to a secretary or wrote it out longhand and gave
it to her and she typed it.
Mr. Johnston. What about the fact that on November l9t!
in your memorandum for record you indicated that Fitzgerald
wanted written reports to be kept to a mimimum?
With those instructions why did you prepare a contract
report?
AMIASI Case Officer. Because I probably contacted
Fitzgerald about it and he said prepare the one on this moctin:.
Mr. Johnston. Do you recall that?
AMLASH Case Officer.
I don't recall that but that woui:

In other words, when ho sald, minimize the written
communications on the operation, he didn't say we won't have any
other communications on any other memos on it or any further
memorandums on it.
So what would happen if you put things within the dates
here, I had briefed him on this and then it was by agreement
or maybe by his order that he told me to write up a contact report.
MI. Johnston:
llave you had an opportunity to examine
that report either before you came here? I'm not sure we've
given you enough opportunity to look at it closely while here.
Maybe you could take that time right now to look at the document.

MI. Johnston. Are you saying that the way you prepared 1t
It's possible that the second page and third page were prepared

AMLASH Case Officer. No, it could have been at different
times of the day. If I had writen out the first part of the
contact report and I hadn't finished it, the secretary could
very well have started to type it, and then when I finished 1=
I would have given her the last page to typo because it was all

done any differently.

report?
AMIASIl Case Officer. In a normal report, yes. But this
certainly was a rather, again, sensitive subject that we were
talking about. He did
not accept it and I don't think that at
that time it was felt that anything else should be said about
1t.
Mr. Johnston. Why is that?
AMIASI! CaBe Officer. I don't know why. Again, because
of the sensitivity, I presume, of the subject.
MI. Johnston. And again, is lt your recollection that
Fitzgerald, is it your testimony that Iltzgerald told you not
to put a reference to the pen device in the report?
AMLASH Case Officer. I don't recall if he specifically
told me not to put it in or if when I gave him the report he
was satisfied that it was not in.
Mr. Baron. Why would a reference to the pen device be
any more sensitive than references to arms caches or suggestions
of assassinations or all the other kinds of things that were
already in the file?
AMLASH Case Officer. Because again, in conjunction with
this particular operation it was not an assassination operation
It was a coup operation. This
was one of the aberrations of the
operation which ve got involved in strictly to provide bona
fides to the man that we were dealing with and we were concerned
for his personal security.

In other words, It was not part of the operational plan
to provide him with any such devices for the purposes of
assassinating Castro. The rifles and the grenades and all of
this was something that was necessary to start a coup.
In other words, it was not directed at one particular
person.

I think this was probably the thinking at that time and
why such points did not get into it because this was not part
of the AMIASH plan of operation.
Mr. Baron. For the sake of the accuracy of the records
and the protection of the people who were involved at the CIA,
wouldn't even
the tender of such
a device to AMLASHl for whatever
purporses normally be put into the records?
ALASHI Case Officer. Not in a contact report because in
a contact report this goes into the regular file. Whether
Fitzgerald would have made a note of this some place else I
don't know, but in the regular contact report which goes into
the regular file -- in other words, say the secretary would
know about it and this could have been the other part of it.
In other words, to reduce the number of people, to contais
the number of people.
Mr. Baron. Do you recall anything in your discussions
with Fitzgerald that led you to believe that one of the
factors that was in his mind in assessing the sensitivity of
this tender of a poison pen device was

offered?

stated it to me. I think lt was just the overall sensitivity
that the Agency had been, has now, and always has had on
assassinations.
I mean it's not the specific of what had happened that
time. Assassinations were not part of the routine business of
the Agency.
Mr. Johnston. Let me ask you, you have mentioned the
secretary who prepared it. Do you recall the name of the
secretary who prepared this document?

Mr. Johnston. Did you have a regular secretary?

it could have been Pitzgerald's secretary because, again, of

I don't recall the name.

you discussed this aspect of the, speech?

paragraph by paragraph. All we did was a very small passing
remark
. ':" about the speech.
Ile haù probably to the best of my recollection already
read it in one of the Parisian newspapers, or 1f I had a news-
paper clipping of the speech, he glanced at it while we were
there, but I don't recall that. But he was certainly satisfied
with the tone of the speech.
ilI. Johnston. You nust have read the speech before
you mentioned it to him. Is this the portion that you had in
mind that would satisfy him about the tone of the speech?
AMIASI! Case Officer. Certainly this sets the tone
for
the whole speech. The extracts that you have made here sets
the tone for the full speech and specifically the one in which
once the harrier is removed, we will be ready and anxious
to work with the cuban people in pursuit of those progressive
goals which in a few short years stirred the
hopes and the
sympathy of many people throughout the entire hemisphere.
MI. Johnston.
was it your intent by making reference to
the speech in your meeting with MiLASll to show that higher
authority was behind what you were doing?

Mr. Johnston. And you felt that this speech colncided
with what you were telling AlliSil?
AMIASH Case Officer. Yes, that the U.S. Government was
prepared, the asgurances at first that Gerald had given him
and I had been giving him that the U.s. Government was willing
to support the cuban people.
Mr. Baron. In the excerpt from the speech that we have
just shown you it says:
"It is important to restate what now divides Cuba fron
my country and from
all the American countries. It is the
fact that a small band of conspirators has stripped the cuban
people of their freedom and handed over the independence ard
soverignty of the cuban
nation to forces heyond the hemispherc.
Then it continues:
"This and this alone divides us.
As long as this is true, nothing is possible. Without it,
everything is possiile.
Once this barrier is removed, we will
be ready and anxious to work with the Cuban people."
That's the end of the quote.
Is it your understanding that this reference to
small
band of conspirators is a reference to the Castro government?
AMI.ASIl Case Officer. Precisely.
Mr. Baron. And in your report of lovenber 19th, or your
memorandum for the record of November 19th, you had mentioneu
that - well, I will simply quote from the report. It says:

AMZASE operation?
AMIASK Case Officer. "No. Fitzgerald never told ne
specifically that the Prosident had been apprised of this.
The general objective, I never had any doubts in:my mind that
the general objective of organizing a coup against Castro dia
not have the highest governmental approval. I mean this was
never a question, I don't think, in my mind. Again, not
specifically assassination because what I mentioned before,
I don't think fitzgerald or llelms or anybody olse would
specifically have briefed anybody that the MLASH operation was
an assassination plot because it wasn't.
Mr. Baron. So you had no basis for belleving that the
President was informed that a component of the AMLASil operation
was assassination?
AMLASH Case Officer. No, I have no reason. I don't
know. Nobody told me that he had or he hadn't.
MI. Baron. Did fitzgerald make it clear to you that
in providing input to this speech he had the specific purpose
in mind of giving a public signal to AMInsii that he would receivi
support from the highest quarters of the U.s. Government if lie
would move for a coup?
AMLASIl Case Officer. Yes, this was my understanding.
MI. Baron. That the speech was to be a specific signal
to opponents of Castro inside Cuba as opposed to a general
statement of j.s. policy?

PLASH Case Officer, That's right.
MI. Baron. Can you regall anything about your conversation
that produced that understanding?
AMLASIl Caso Officer. No, just the general conversation
of the time and what we were trying to do.
In other words, we were trying to organize a coup and
the problems that we had been through specifically with AMLAS!!
in trying to persuade him that the U.S. government was serious
about supporting Cubans who vere opposed to Castro.
So this statement that appeared in the speech was
certainly public notice that this was the case.
Mr. Baron. Did Fitzgerald or anyone else say anything
to you that led you to belleve that the President had been
specifically informed that representations would be made such
as the ones on Octoher 29th that Robert Kennedy or other high
American officials would stand behind AMLASHI?
MILASH Case Officer. No, he didn't specifically tell me.!
Mr. Baron. Did your conversations with Fitzgerald about
this spoech, his input to this speech, lead you to believe that
the President had been specifically informed that a poison
pen device was
being prepared to be tendered on November 22nd?
M'INSIl Case Officer.
No.
Mr. Johnston. Let me ask you in a different context
now, was there a decision after the assassination to break off
further contacts with AILASH?

AMINSH Case Öfficer, " Yes, but that decision evolved,
It wasn't an automatic decision right after the assassination.
In fact, as you recall from my previous testimony we hau
contact with AMLASIl again in late '64 when ho came out. I
think the only hesitancy at that time was what's the new policy?
Does the new President want to continue to, in our attempts
to organize a plot against Castro, a coup against Castro --
That probably was the hesitancy, not the fact that It
was immediately decided to stop contact, which, as I said before,
It wasn't, because we saw him again.
Mr. Johnston. Was there a discussion at all in November
or December 1963 ahout the relationship between the AMLASH
operation and the assassination of President kennedy?
NIASIl Case Officer. Not that I recall.
MI. Johnston. Let me show you, we have in several versios
and the one that is most available is this document here, and
I have got the document you're looking at is in Volume
12,
I belleve, of the AMASH file.
AMIASII Case Officer. Yes.
Mr. Johnston. And it is a yellow legal size paper.
AMLASH Case Officer. Let me correct. It's not a documa.:
It is evidently somebody's type-written notes of probably the
recollection of what had happener.
Mr. Johnston. Diay, and it's on yellor legal-size pasci

Mr. Johnston. "(Telescopie sight, silences, all the

force trying to put together by this time, 29 March, what had
happened. The other document since it's, it's probably a later
date, the yellow document was somebody probably again trying to
reconstruct what had happened. The facts are not as I knew
them at the time.
Both paragraphs have condensed an evolution that took
place over a period of a year and the decision probably was not
made until '65 after I had left the operation, that we were
pulling out.
But the facts as stated here in those two documents are
incorrect, and certainly the timing that they insinuate is
wrong.
MI. Johnston. I think we should develop that on the
record and if you want to point out what facts are incorrect,
Why don't you do so?
AMLASH Case Officer. "The situation changed when Mr.
Sanchez and Mr. Fitzgerald left the meeting to discover that
President Kennedy had been assassinated." That's incorrect.
Fitzgerald wasn't with me on the 22nd of November meeting.
MI. Johnston. Okay. What about the sentence before
that, that Mr. Fitzgerald and Mr. Sanchez assured subject that
this Agency would give him everything he needed, with your
qualifier that Fitzgerald was not at the meeting?

AMLASH Case Officer, This was at the meeting in october
and not at the November meeting because that is correct,
provided you put it in the right context.
Mr. Johnston. What about the statement, all the money
he wanted?
AMLASH Case Officer. Inferred. I mean I don't recall
that money was ever discussed with this man at any time. In
fact I was asked this question before and I couldn't really
recollect: when I had given him some moncy.
It turns out that the record shows that I did give hin
$350 for his expenses. But money, specifically, again, that
is somebody else interpreting. I don't know of any other
document or certainly any memorandum for the record that I
prepared in which money specifically was mentioned.
Mr. Johnston. But would you disagree with the statement?
AMLASI! Case Officer. Well, the statement as a whole,
if you leave out the money, which again, anything that he needs.
MI. Johnston. Well, that's what we want to leave in.
the money.
MMASI! Case Officer. If he needs the money, I think it
was
not excluded in the offer. But what I'm
saying --
Mr. Johnston. This makes a positive statement, him
saying that you and Mr. Fitzgerald assured ALASH that the
Agency would give him everything he needed, all the money he
wanted.

And I'm asking you directly either on October 29th; or

AMLASH! Case Officer. I can't recall that such an issue
was made of money because he never asked for money and we
specifically didn't have to respond to telling him that we
would give him money. In telling him that the support necessary!.
all of the support necessary for a coup, I think it 1s implied
that he would get whatever he needed, which would mean supplies.!
but not specifically money, and the reason I state this is that
money was never a subject of contention between the Agency and
AMIASil. lie never asked for money, he never was offéred
specifically money.
MI. Johnston. Mas he assured that he would get all the
money he wanted?
AMLASH Case Officer. All the support he needed, not
the money that he wanted. le never asked for money.
MI. Johnston.
I'm not asking you what he asked for.
I'm asting you what you told him. In this thing it saye
you assured him that you would give him all the money that he
wanted.
Did you give that assurance to him?
AMLASH Case Officer. I did not because I did not
write this document. And the person who wrote this document
that I know of didn't write it fron any factual report at any
time.

here probably two or three years afterwards.
Mr. Johnston. I guess what I'm asking is a yes or
no answer. In October or November, 1963, did you
or MI.
Fitzgerald, to your knowledge, assure AMINSil that he would
receive all the money he wanted?
A'LASH Case Officer. No, and I must qualify that. Unless
you want to infer that in giving him the support that he needed
he would also receive money. But money specifically, all he
wanted, was never a part of the conversations, to the best of
my knowledge.
Mr. Johnston. We have talked about the next sentence
and
it continues.
"Because of this fact plans of subject changed and it was
decided the Agency could have no part in the assassination of
& government leader, Including Castro. "
Is that accurate?
I'm siving you an opportunity to
rebut the document.
AMLASH Case Officer. It's accurate fron the point of
view ..
You have to put it in the right time frame, in the
right context.

convinced than before that the anly way a coup could be launched
in Cuba was the alimination of Castro and when ha expressed this
conviction, not in '63 but in late '64, 1s when the Agency, and
I presume the U.S. Government at that, tine felt we can't
continue that directly involved with AMLAsil.
MI. Johnston. And the last sentence of that:
"Ihis included the following -- 'We would not furnish
the silencer, nor scope, nor any money for direct assassination.
Furthermore, we would not lift a finger to help the subject
escape from Cuha should he assassinate Castro.'"
Was that the substance of the discussion immediately
after the assassination of President Kennedy?
AMIASH Case Officer. No. A year later in November of
'64.
MI. Johnston. And you're saying that this does not
describe the fall AMLASH meeting?
AMIASK Case Officer.
It does not. It is a mixture of
what happened over at least a two year period.
MIr. Johnston. It perplexes me somewhat that your
failure to cep wiitten records would so warp later thinkers
as to what was going on. I mean take the March, 1965 document.
As of March, 1965 CIA is going on the assumption that you
and Fitzgerald net MiLASHl in Paris, that you assured him that
he would get all the money he wanted
and that your plans
changed after the meeting because of the Kennedy assassination.

AMiSH Case Officer, I can't alt here and presume to
give you an explanation for that as to where the person who
prepared that particular memorandum got that information. The
file Itself indicates, as you are hell awnre, that Iltzgerald
did not travel to Paris in November. lle travelled in October.
So the person who prepared the 29 March, 1965 memo came
up with this particular type of information, I don't know.
Mr. Johnston.
Who is that memo addressed to again?
AMIASII Case Officer. This is to Chief, PI from Chlef,
Reports.
Mr. Johnston. So your only explanation, your explanation
for the memo is that it is Inaccurate but even if it is
inaccurate, it indicates that in March, 1965 these people had
it all wrong as to what the AMLASHl operation was all about.
AMIASH Case Officer. If you want to interpret exactly
what they wrote here, yes, it was wrong. Now I'm not saying
that it was wrong because it could have been. I don't know.
I'm just saying it could have been that they didn't have access
to all the restricted files because this operation until it
received its recent publicity was rept on a very restricted
basis.
So the Chief of Reports, I don't even know, well,
probably the Chief of
Reports in the division or maybe some
place, probably did not have access to all of the operational
files.

You're saying that the information itself

AMIASI! Case Officer. Certainly wrong in its chronological
context, definitaly because it throws everything into one
very small period of time. In reporting of trying to report
what took place over a much longer period of time.
Mr. Greissing. But the facts that are there over a
period of a year would be true?
AMLASH Case Officer. But not in this context:
MI. Greissing. But I'm saying over the period of a
year from 1 November to the following Novenher when you actually
informed AMIASHl of the feelings that the Agency had developed
at that time, I belleve it is the next sentence down.
AlIASIl Case Officer. What is wrong here, what is wrong
is that after we left that meeting, which I presume they left
the meeting, I presume they're talking about, yes, the 22
November, '63 meeting - this is absolutely
wrong, that when
we left that meeting to discover that President Kennedy had
heer assassinated, we had told him, you know, that this was
all off.
That is wrong. It was not at that meeting that he
was told that. lle went back after that meeting with the idea
of organizing a coup inside Cuba.

because in that same memorandum it does state that.
MI. Johnston. Let me move off these documents. The
file on AMLASIl contains a November 27th report from Paris which
Indicated a source in the Cuban ambassy in Paris.
AMLASH Case Officer. Excuse me. November 27th of
what year?
MI. Johnston. 1963. A source in the Cuban embassy
In Paris was complaining about AMLASHl's denigrating the
revolution.
Did you see that report on November 27th, 1963?
AMIASH Case Officer. I probably did. I can't
specifically recall that I did.
MI. Johnston. And as I read the report, or my statement

of the information was complaining about AMLASh's denigrating
the revolution, and went on to say that she or he wished he
or she had a tape recorder to record what AMLASH and another
person were saying, suggesting it is not a friendly source to

AMLASH Case Officer. Well, that suggests -- and again, I
can't give you any definitive explanation for it -- what that
suggests is that she overheard AMLASH talking with somebody
else of like mind, and she didn't like what she heard, I guess.
Mr. Johnston. Let's go now to again what you talked about,
any link in your mind or in Fitzgerald's mind in November and
December 1963 between what you had been doing with AMLASH and
the assassination of President Kennedy?

and no discussion, and again, again, I go back and take you
back in time, if you can place yourself back in 1963 and not
1976, after all of this has taken place, after we have had
all the public theories expressed of the connections, all built
on circumstantial evidence of what and who were involved in
the Kennedy Assassination. I take you back and try to place
yourself back within the context of this operation in 1963
when this happened.

be no reason why we would be connecting Kennedy's assassination
with this assassination plot. This was not an assassination
plot, it was not conceived as an assassination plot. As a coup
against Fidel Castro, yes. The fact that the U.S. Government
was not happy and was supporting people who were opposed to
Castro, this was well known. This' was in the aftermath, '63, of
the Bay of Pigs. So there was really in the context of the
time the fact that this was not an assassination plot conceived
as an assassination: plot, there was really no reason to
connect this one particular operation with the tragedy of
President Kennedy•
MI. Johnston. Okay.
We do know that on the 29th of October Fitzgerald told
AMLASH that Robert Kennedy was behind the plot of behind
AMLASH's proposal, is that correct?
AMIASH Case Officer. What we told him was that the u.s.
Government was prepared to support a coup against Fidel
Castro.
MI. Johnston. And AMLASH had previously told you that
at least one of his plans for a coup would require the assassi-
nation of the Castro Brothers.
AMLASH Case Officer. He had not exactly put it in those
terms, but he certainly felt that the first move would have
to be against the leadership, yes. In other words, we never
talked to him in terms of assassination, and I want this

Mr. Johnston. And he told you before the 29th meeting that
the first step would probably have to be the assassination of
the Castros?.
AMLASH Case Officer. He never told me assassination because
he didn't even like to use the word "assassination."
MI. Johnston. What word did he like to use?
AMLASH Case Officer. The neutralization, the elimination
1f you will, of the leadership.
The first move in any coup attempt, in order for the
other officers to fall in line, would have to be the removal,
the removal of Fidel Castro, because of the loyalties that he
still had personally with some of the officers.
Mr. Johnston. And after he told you that on October
29th, you gave
him an assurance that Robert Kennedy backed his
proposal generally.
AMLASH Case Officer. Yes, the U.S. Government and
FItzgerald as the representative of Robert Kennedy, supported
a coup against Castro.
Mr. Johnston. On the very day of the assassination, you
referenced the speechof President Kennedy's talking about
an ouster of the current regime in Cuba.
AMLASH Case Officer. That's right.
Mr. Johnston. Were you aware of the September 7th
statement of Fidel Castro's, threatening the lives of U.s.

leaders, and let no I have a poor xerox copy, but especially
a portion of that statement by Fidel Castro on September 7th
at a party at the Brazilian embassy in Havana, he talked to a
reporter, Daniel Harker of AP and said, among other things,
"we are prepared to fight them and answer in kind. The United
States leaderg-should think that if they are aiding terrorist
plans to eliminate Cuban leaders, they themselves will not be

exile who was plotting against Castro.
MI. Johnston. But this is in the Brazilian Embassy on
September 7th, and you started - meeting with AMLASH on
September 5th in Brazil, and it may be coincidence, but Castro
does give a warning about United States leaders aiding terrorist
plans to eliminate Cuban leaders, and you were doing that very
thing.
AMLASH Case Officer. There is probably a coincidence
there. I don't recall that I knew of this at that time. I've
certainly heardof it since, but I don't see the point that you
are trying to make, because if Castro is behind or was behind
AMLASH to involve him in the assassination of an American
leader, then
are you proposing that he would also publicly

MI. Johnston. iI don'tiknow: I assume not...
AMLASH Case Officer. I would find it highly unusual that
If he was serious about being involved in something like this,
that he would publicly announce his plan, but I may be wrong.
That's just my opinion.
MI. Johnston. So we have this Castro speech of September
7th, whatever that means, and we have the AMLASH operations
we talked about in November and October, and then almost
at the very moment of the Kennedy assassination we have your
weting with AMLASH and giving him the technical equipment or
the assurances of technical equipment that he had requested at
the October 29th meeting.
You knew on November 24th, certainly November 25th, that
the alleged assassin of President Kennedy was pro-Castro, Lee
Harvey Oswald was pro-Castro.
AMLASH Case Officer. I don't even know that at this
time.
Mr. Johnston. You don't know that at this time?
AMLASH Case Officer. No, where did you get that?
Mr. Johnston. You don't know?
AMLASI! Case Officer. That he was pro-Castro?

Mr. Baron. Hasn't that a logicäl deduction from the fact
that he was part of the falr Play for Cuba Committee?
AMLASH Case Officer. It could have been, but I haven't
seen that.
MI: Greissing.
He had come out publicly in interviews
stating that he was for Castro and would defend Castro if the
U.S. took action.
AMLASI Case Officer. Well, probably so, but I never had --
MI. Johnston. And in fact, Oswald had visited Mexico City, and
on November 25th, the very day you wrote your contact report,
the Mexico City chief of station cabled headquarters and reminded
then about the Castro speech threat, and I asgume that our informa-
tion is that Mr. King was handling the activity in Mexico
city•
AMLASH Case Officer. Yes.
MI. Johnston. So on November 25th he was aware of the
threat, reminded of the threat.
I think it is fair to say that Mr. King knew that Oswald
had visited the Cuban embassy in Mexico City. He knew that on
November 25th.
Another CIA document indicates that Chief of Station Wynn
Scott --I don't know whether you knew him -- in Mexico City,
on November 25th read a message to the President of Mexico
in which he said, MI. Scott's memo says there are still some
important questions concerning Oswald and his visit to Mexico

Pidel Castro, and were the final details worked out inside the
Cuban ambassy in Mexico?
That'8 againion November 25th.
There's no reason for you to have seen the document.
AMLASH Case Office, I don't know that, but again, I'll
just question, this was just a question that was asked. I
wouldn't report it as fact.
MI. Johnston. No, on November 25th that is a question
being raised.
Knowing now, looking back at Mr. King, we have the Western
Hemisphere Division on November 25th is informed that Castro
has made a threat against U.S. leaders, that, the chief of
station in Mexico City is telling
that there is a possibility that Castro was behind it, •
Oswald was known to be pro-Castro, and on November 22nd, you
in turn were meeting in Paris, giving a high level Cuban
assurances that his coup plot that might include assassination
of Castro was backed by the U.S. and that yet you made no
connection between those, all those events, and there was no
discussion of any connection.
AMLASH Case Officer. No, there was no discussion between
the -- the connection between the assassination of President
Kennedy and the AMLASH operation.
Mr. Johnston. Was there an investigation?

Not to my knowledge. I left the
operation right after that, so I mouldn't know if there was
or wasn't. But the coincidence that you are talking about,
if you are connecting or trying now to imply that there was a
connection between AMLASH and the fact that it was on the 22nd
of November, the same date as President Kennedy's assassination,
they must have had a very terrific system of communication.
Mr. Johnston. Although you had set up the meeting on the
20th of November, is that right?
AMLASH Case Officer. Yes, but he didn't know specifically
what we were going to say. In fact, the answer that we could
have given him could have been reversed.
MI. Johnston. Weli, you said he requested it.
AMLASH Case Officer. Well, he requested it before he left,
but the assurances, you can go back before that. You can go back
to the October meeting when the assurances of support were given
to him.
So I can't -- I find it very difficult to follow what you
are trying to imply or to relate AMLASH directly to the
assassination on 22 November. This is what I find difficult to
understand.
MI. Johnston. Let me show you a copy of a cable, no
indication that the cable went to SAS. The cable is Mexico
City, 7045, dated 24 November '63 and by way of background,
tell you that immediately upon the assassination, the personnel

In Moxico CIty then started putting the entire sovlet apparatus
in Mexico City under surveillance and pulling the records, and I
don't want to read this into the record because it uses a
true name.
Lot's go off the record.
(Discussion off the record.)
MI. Johnston. Let me read it, except for the true name.
It says "Provided below sufficiently definitive summary
of local contacts of Ivan Gavrilovich Alferlev." It gives his
contacts, it says".
23 December 1961 with the Third Secratary of
Cuban Cultural Attache, naming her, and arranging a press
conference for AMLASHl. It's a very tangential relationship
with the AMLASH operation, but again, on November 24th, 1963,
Mexico City 18 reporting KGB ..or ... Alferiev's contacts, and
it Includes a contact in '61 with AMLASH.
so I have difficulty believing that they are, in hindsight,
not related, and that on November 24th or November 25th no
one at CIA related the two events.
AMLASH Case Officer. What I'm telling you is -- I'm not
telling you that no one at CIA relates the two events. You
asked me the specific question, did you and Fitzgeraldidiscuss
any relationship. My answer to you was that Fitzgerald and I
did not specifically discuss that.
MI. Johnston. Do you know of anyone who discussed it?
AMLASH Case Officer. ' No.

MI. Johnston. Do you know of any. Investigation that was
conducted?
AMLASH Case Officer: No.
(A brief recess was taken.):
Mr. Johnston. Let me now talk - and again the groundwork
is that you were unaware of any investigation of a connection
between the two, and you were unaware of any discussion about
a connection between AMLASH and Kennedy's assassination.
Is that a correct summary?
AMLASH Case Officer. That's correct.
Mr. Johnston. I will show you a document. For the record,
this is a document appearing in Volume IV of the AMLASH
file, and the first page of 1t has AMASH's name on it, but
I call your attention to the red handwriting in the upper right
hand corner of that, on that cover sheet, and it says, "not to
leave this office, per" blank's "orders."
Is that correct?
This document has handwriting in the upper writing hand
corner that it is not to leave this office, whatever that is.
AMLASH Case Officer. Without specific clearance, without
orders.
Mr. Johnston. Do you have any recollection of such orders
being given by any one, yourself, or MI. Fitzgerald?
AMLASK Case Officer. Yes, what we have talked about before,
that Mr. Fitzgerald gave orders to minimize the knowledgeability

of this particular operation because of its sensitivity.
MI. Johnston. Andi that is the reason
that this instzuction
was given about the file, this particular file or this
particular document?
AMLASH Case Officer: Yes.:: I can't see at this time that
anything else would have been thought of at that time.
MI. Johnston. What suddenly required that order to be
given?
AMLASH Case Officer. Well, nothing specific except that
by December of '63, the man with whom we were dealing, AMLASH I,
was going back, or was probably back by that time already in
Cuba. It was primarily probably I would say as much to protect
his security as anything else.
MI. Johnston. So that nobody else - did this have the
effect of blocking knowledge of the AMLASH operation from other
people within the Agency?
AMLASH Case Officer. Probably from my office down. Certainly
not Fitzgerald, not the Director or not anybody else who needed
to know about the operation, absolutely not. This was just
circulation within other components of SAS. That would not --
in other words, a note of this type would only mean that I
would be, or whoever would clear the order would be asked
before this file was allowed to circulate or was given to
anybody.

procedure to go by, to block the file for, say, the Director's

have to know who got the file. It is a matter of control. This
is what it amounts to, really. It is to know who the file

MI. Johnston. Did you expect this instruction to be carried
out, that the file would not leave the office until you had
given your personal approval or Fitzgerald had approved it?
AMLASH Case Officer. Yes. I would have thought that my
secretary would not have permitted this file to leave unless
cleared.
Mr. Johnston. We previously discussed whether Mr. King
knew about the operation.
Did he specifically know, to your knowledge, about the
AMLASH operation in the fall of 1963?

personally.

did know about AMLASH speration?

Mr. Johnston. Our noies indicate that on february sth,
1964, Mr. King sent a memo to you requirements for AMLASH, and
I'll show you our notes. They basically detail questions,
intelligence information to be gathered from AMLASH.

this, but if we have - certainly the fact that we have an
asset who can surface any intelligence requirements

normal for anybody to send these requirements:
Mr. Johnston. Would you agree, at least. from that summary
of the document, that really he's asking you to get intelligence
type information from AMLASH?
Is that correct?
AMLASH Case Officer. Yes.
MI. Johnston. And given the October 5th, 1963 meeting when
AMIASHl sort of indicated he didn't want anything to do with
that, this would be very inconsistent for someone who was
knowledable about AMLASH.
AMLASH Case Officer. What are the dates?
Mr. Johnston.
October 5th, 1963, is when AMLASH complained
about the low level espionage requirements.
AMLASH Case Officer. He did not want -- he did not say
that he would not surface intelligence requirements. He did
not want to exclusively be that type of an asset.
So therefore it would be perfectly normal, regardless of
what he thought himself to be, or what even we may have thought
for him to be, that if he had
access to information, we were
going to levy the requirements on him.
Mr. Johnston. My direct question is, then, having read
the summary apparently prepared by MI. King, and sent on
February Ind, 1964, do you think that Mr. King knew about the
AMLASH operation, the events of October and November?
AMLASH Case Officer. If he sent us a memo giving us

requirements for AMLASH, at a minimum he had to know that we had
an agent with this particular access. But he knew about the
operation? Not necessarily so.
Mr. Johnston. Do you find this consistent with the
nature of the operation as of November 22nd, 1963?
AMLASH Case Officer. Explain that. I don't understand.
What are you - what is your question?
MI. Johnston. As of November 22nd, 1963, you were now
Involved in coup plotting with AMLASH, and were delivering of
planned to deliver the equipment, rifles, sights, explosives.
to assist him in that coup. It seems inconsistent, suddenly in
February, to go back to trying to get espionage information
from him.
AMLASH Case Officer. First of all, I have to address
that question from this point. Receiving a memo from king at
that time doesn't necessarily mean that we are going to levy
the reguirements on AMLASil.
Mr. Johnston. Oh, I agree with that.
AMLASH Case Officer. So, to clarify the other part of your
question, that if we needed intelligence after the October
'63 meeting in which he said I'm not going to be strictly a
source for intelligence, I want to do something more for my
country, it would not be in any way out of the orderinary to
ask him to send information that we felt was. required on the
outside.

In your past meetings, could you briefly summarize, were you
contacted prior to today's session at the Agency, and did you

An Extract From Kennedy's Address to Press
Washington Post,
Tuesday,
November 19, 1963, P. AlS
(AP) Nov. 18 -- The following is a text of President Kennedy's address
tonight before the Inter-American Press Association:
"The genuine Cuban revolution
-- because it was against the tyran-
ny and corruption
of the past
-- had the support of many whose aims and
concepts were noble.
"But that hope for freedom and progress was destroyed.
"The goals proclaimed in the Sierra Maestra were betrayed in Havana.
"It is important to restate what now divides Cuba from my
all the American
countries: It is the fact that a small band
of conspirators has
stripped the Cuban people of their
ed over the independence and sovereignty of the Cuban nation to forces
They have made Cuba a victim of foreign imperial-
a weapon in an effort dic-
and this alone divides us.
As long as this is true nothing is possible.
Without it everything is possible.
Ready and Anxious
"Once this barrier is removed we will be ready and anxious to work
with the Cuban people in pursuit of those progressive goals which,
short years ago,
stirred their hopes and the sympathy of many people
throughout the entire hemisphere.
"No Cuban need feel trapped between dependence on the broken prom-
ises of foreign conunism and the hostility of the rest of the hemisphere.
For once Cuban sovereignty has been restored we will extend the hand of
friendship and assistance to a Cuba whose
political and economic insti-
tutions have been shaped by the will of the Cuban people."
