# SECRET28 June 1967MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORDSUBJECT: Luis Clements POSADA-CarrilesREFERENCES: a. Memo for Record, 26 June 1967, by LRH, same subjectb. Williamson/Henze Telephone Conversation, 28 June 19671. In my meeting with the Department of Justice today, I confirmed that POSADA-Carriles was our man. I outlined the pre- liminary information we had developed on the transactions between him and one Lefty Rosenthal.2. Justice was advised that our information disclosed that POSADA-Carriles had passed *silencers* and *grenades* to Rosenthal during July 1965, and that in October 1966 he had furnished pencils and fuses. I also stated that it was our understanding that POSADA- Carriles was in contact with FDI/Miami and that it had been advised of these dealings. Justice was told that the items involved were not of Agency origin. It was emphasized, however, that this was our preliminary conclusion and that we would undertake to verify it.3. Justice acknowledged that FBI reporting disclosed POSADA-Carriles as its contact but apparently the details are some- what vague. To make a federal case against Rosenthal because of his suspected involvement in the bombings, it will be necessary to show that the items used were obtained through interstate commerce. A preliminary reading suggests prosecution under Title 18 Section 837. Out of concern for the allegation of entrapment, Justice asked that
