It is noted that CUBELA is a Cuban Government
official whose desire to defect was made known by MM 761-S
in June, 1962. (Thereafter, CIA apparently made contact
with CUBELA in Europe through [CARLOS) TEPEDINO, 9819 64th
Avenue, Rego Park, Queens, New York, a Cuban exile and (u)34
Europe:) (W)
long-time friend of MM 761-S, who frequently travels in
MM 761-S advised that on July 15, 1964, he was
visited by [CARLOS TEPEDINO, at which time he confided
certain information concerning CUBELA. He cautioned the
informant to say nothing concerning their conversation
which would permit the information to reach CIA or any
other source through which it might become public, inas-
much as to do so might result in the death of persons in
Cuba, as well as TEPEDINO himself. (u)

effective action in Cuba. According to TEPEDINO, CUBELA
desires some sort of 
compact equipment with which he can
possibly eliminate 
CASTRO; however, CIA keeps offering
him only large, bulky, 
unserviceable material.
According to TEPEDINO 3 ] there is now under discussion
some plan 
to kill FIDEL CASTRO, in 
which CUBELA will figure.
CIA allegedly was formerly 
in favor of such a plan; however,
inasmuch as Attorney 
General ROBERT KENNEDY would have no
part of it, it was shelved. 
Now the plan has allegedly been
brought up again for consideration
.
allegedly is aware of it, and has not ruled against it.
If set in motion, it 
will be scheduled to occur sometime
before the elections in 
November.

[TEPEDINO told the informant he has not been able
to learn 
much more 
concerning this plan, other than that
CUBELA is supposed 
to participate, that it is to be
accomplished 
by men in Cuba, and possibly someone from
Europe.
The informant advised [TEREDINO ] did not specifically
indicate 
how he had acquired 
this information; however, the
informant presumed from his 
manner of speaking that he had
obtained it from CUBELA
.
The above is for the information of the Bureau,
and is not 
being 
submitted in form suitable for dissemination
since both TEPEDINO and 
CUBELA are apparently of operational
interest to CIA. Dissemination 
would also lead to the
disclosure of 
MM 761-S. Although questioned closely,
MM 761-S was not 
able to furnish any further details.
