It was not until, April 1962, when Bill Harvey assumed Agency responsibility for the task, were efforts made to re-establish contact with Roselli.

SECRETCONCLUSION0002210The available evidence suggests that the thesis which in part, is tacitly assumed by the Agency in its 1977 internal Drispiate berivals Report wherein it states that, "It is possible that CIA simply found itself involved in providing additional resources for independent operations that the syndicate already had under way..." In a sense, CIA may have been piggy-backing on the syndicate and, in addition to material contributions, was also supplying an aura of official sanction? L 1977 PG Rpt 2105The relevant evidence is as follows:1. FBI memo 18 Oct 1960 re Biancana FISUR:Biancana reportedly assured those present that Castro's assassination would occur in November. Moreover, he allegedly indicated that he had already met with the assassin to be on three occasions...
