KENNEDY ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 1992SUBJECT: LIHUFF-1The attached explains the involvement of Subject in the circumstances surrounding the recruitment attempt and personal harrassment of Soviet official ABCDET (201-733422) in June, 1968.The narrative is presented by Keith 06,08 Cameron JOHNSON (201-837607), Dean of Men at the University of the Americas, who was deeply involved in the operation. While no apparent direct or serious damage to LIHUFF-1 resulted from this, it must be borne in mind that Johnson did rent his house from LIHUFF-1 and that if the Soviets ever had suspicions of LIHUFF-1's relations with the Station, L-1's appearance in these events might be viewed by the Soviets as possibly more than coincidence.4/RS

(1)LEVENDEBUS COMEBURYAfter letting Ford off on a dark side road, I parked my carnearby and then walked back to my house.02I saw that the old car, which we saw as ACCIDENT and/policeman wasthere, so I crept through the bushes up to the wall, climbed over the backwall of my yard, and crept along the side keeping in the shadows and tryingto see into my house to see if anybody was in there. I finally made my wayto the back door. Looked in and determined that there was not anybody in there,but if there was I had every right to come into my own house, and I found thatI was not particularly afraid so I decided to go in. I quietly opened theback door, came into the house, quickly looked around the corner into thebedroom and into the bathroom, and decided that there was not anybody in there.I walked over and closed the front door, which was wide open, quickly drewthe drapes and turned off the lights. I then changed into old clothes andtennis shoes, got a flashlight and walked over to the kitchen window, shinedmy flashlight into the face of one of the men sitting in the car just outside.I was only able to shine it on one man's face so I held it there for a littlewhile then snapped it off and walked back to a good corner inside the house.There I waited with the flashlight in hand knowing that the people outsidecould not enter through the front door and if they entered through the backdoor I'd be able to club one of them and kick the other one before either ofthem was able to do anything. I stood there and heard them come up to thefront door and try the front door. But, when they were unsuccessful theydidn't do any more or come around to the back. They then got into their car,started it up, turned it around and drove off. While they were turning aroundI went out the back door, climbed up on a sink, so I could see over the wall,and watched them drive off. I didn't really know how many people were outside.Nor did I know how many people had left in the car. Thinking that this mighthave been a decoy and that they might have left somebody behind. I silentlyclimbed up on to the roof of the house and walked across the roof and peepedover the edge thinking that if there was one person left behind I could jumpon him from the roof and seriously injure him. There was not anybody thereso I left the house, walked up to the landlord's house, LIKUFF[^1]and told the family that there had been some strange people hanging aroundwhen I came home, that they had lunged for the car and made an obvious attempt.[^1]: and

( 2 )to get at the door handle, and that I had no idea who they were etc. I was sufficiently scared and put the car in reverse, backed up and took it down and parked it out of sight. I explained that I had climbed over the back wall and co ca. They wero quiet aware of the problem cince they had observed, or thought they had observed, people hanging around the house all day. They pointed out to me too, that when their 18 year old son, Eill, was riding on horseback he encountered two men who had just arrived in a white Camaro driven by a middleaged or younger blond lady. They got out of their car and walked up to my house. One of them, he said, was carrying a pipe and the other one was carrying a screwdriver. The son asked if he could help these me but they rushed him off saying that he couldn't. The two men peered in the front gate and stayed around, hanging around for quite a while until a blue Chevrolet appeared and two people got out of it and went inside the house. While these people were inside the house, the ten cutside is around near the house.LIHUFF-1 reported to meAfter spending sometime in the house,two men came out and there was some confusion going on around the car and they couldn't seem to be able to start it. Finally, the two men who had been inside two cen LIMUFF-1 the house left and the other/got in the car and left. None of the family was exactly sure what was going on except that there was confusion around the car. Eventually all the people left one way or another.I said that I was very concerned about these people hanging around my house. That I didn't like the idea of people being inside my house and I LIHUFF-1 wanted to call the police. Mrs. said that she had called her husband and he was coming right home, and that he had some very good contacts in' NPURE and he would probably be able to help out in this matter. I agreed to wait until he got home and that I would go and get my car and bring it back home, which I then did. I spent the rest of the night with the LIMUFF-1s visiting and as quickly as possible I moved the conversation away from this to other colpletely unimportant things. I decided in the presence of. LIHUFF-i that there probably was not any reason to get concerned about this, that it was probably just soma students trying to make me look foolish or something on that order.

(3)LIHUFF-IOne thing that I forgot to mention was that Mrs. and was extremely upset because a tall blond man/a Mexican policeman came up to her house after the kids reported the people left. They reported that a car had been stolen. She asked who the blond man was, and he said he wanted to call his embassy. She brightened up and and asked if he was an American, but he said no, "URS."One of the kids asked if "URS" meant U.R.S.C., and he rade no attempt to hide the fact that he was from the Soviet Embassy. They barged in the LIHUFF-1 house, and in fact it was later reported that he tried to talk to Mrs. LIHUFF-1 in Russian which upset her even more. The tall blond min used the telephone, and as far as Mrs. LIHUFF-1 knows, he did call his embassy.Earlier, when I arrived at the University behind the Russian car, I told the Lt., for the University police force that I wanted the car towed away at 9:30 the next morning if it was still there at the time. and ha eofd that he would be glad to if it was.LIHUFF-1sWhen I went to get my car after talking to the around 23:30 hours. I did go dom the road past the entrance to my house out to the rain highway Jut to look around. I went down as far as The Lady's Bar. When I passed the corner of the main highway and the road leading off from it to my house, I saw a blue Chevrolet which looked very much like the ear we had pushed down to the University and some people standing around it including at least one uniformed policeman. I concluded that this was connected with this case.I went down to The Lady's Bar, turned around and came back up the main highway, but from a point considerably below from where that car was parked until con- siderably past it I kept a bus between those people and myself and I don't think, on the bases of later things that they have said, that they saw me come back up the hill. The bus effectively shielded mo all the way up. I went clear up to Cuajimalpa then and turned down the road that leads to my house so I didn't have to pass them again and went on in and parked my oar inside the compound.The next morning I went to the University at about 8 d'olook and noticed that blue Chevy was gone from the parking lot. Then I worked until my secretary notified mo that some Federal plaindlothes policemen were there looking for IDEN-E . I 1mzaediately went to my office and found three or four Federal policemen outside the office and unfortunately the Lt. of our police (

There are no other activities as they may concern organisations listed on the CA memo (attached).1. [redacted] currently budgeted at $50,000 annually, supports in part this organisation, which also receives funds (some $950,000 yearly) from HISSOR, a German Bishops’ fund with headquarters in Aachen, Germany. The objective of this effort is to help establish model or prototype agrarian organizations designed to alleviate and hopefully to advance the social and economic status of the Mexican campesino.2. [Instituto de Investigaciones Sociales y Economicas] The executive director of this organization was formerly associated with the LIEFF project, but he is no longer an active member of this project which is funded at the current rate of $4,300 annually and supports LIREFF-1, the Station's only agent with access to rightist political organizations.3. [Centro Nacional de Estudios Sociales] - The director of this organization (LISIER-3) is no longer an active HOFACT agent. The LISINER project was terminated in 1965 and had been funded at an annual rate of some $65,000. The project supported a mass media propaganda effort directed at the middle and lower classes of Mexico and sponsored by a front group of conservative Mexican businesses.4. [American Chamber of Commerce of Mexico] - The vice president of this organisation is a current Station asset, LIREFF-1. No money is provided from KOPACE sources to this organization, although LIREFF-1 receives monthly $300.00. The duties of this agent do not directly relate to himSECRET

# 2025 RELEASE UNDER THE PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 1992TO: DirectorFederal Bureau of InvestigationAttention: Mr. 8. J. PapichFROM: Deputy Director for PlansSUBJECT: Lyle STUARTReference is made to your mezorandus dated 1 June 1964, in which you provided this office with several questions you wished to have passed to Hiss Viola June COBB regarding Lyle STUART. There follows the information provided by En vour inquiry:1. Regarding Lyle STUART, Juan Jose AREVALO, and Antikomunisco en America Latina:Early in the spring of 1962, in Mexico, AREVALO told ne that STUART Wus prodding him about getting another of his books translated, to take advantage of the publicity around The Shark and the Sardines. I was already far beyond speaking teras with SI ART and therefore declined to have anything further to do with him. About three months later, AREVALO told me that STUART was going to publish Antikomunismo en America Latins and that a young American student, married to a Mexican, Angela delli SANTE AEROCHA (who had written Arevalo, pensador contemporanco, published by Coste Amic, 1964, financed by Als Badical Revolucionario de El Salvador) was doing the translation into English. Early in 1963, AREVALO told me that the translation hadn't been satisfactory and therefore STUART had obtained a rom translation, by Charleton DEALS.When STUART was here in Mexico in June, he told Dr. OSTGUEDA that he was very happy about the way the book was selling.Inasmuch as STUART has paid AREVALO only 10 per cent of moneys received by STUART on the Shark and the Sardinen zales (in contrast with some book contracts in which the author receives 10 per cent of the money represented by number of copies sold multiplied by the retail sales price) I would aesume he is no more generous with Antikomunismo.
