LA: NS 4 7 Ny ww ed 1 Qf ad . . / . ~~ a, , cAdrtel to SAC, New York Re: FAIR PLAY FOR CUBA COMMITTEE 97-4196 our aim is to produce additional witnesses who can testify as to the Cuban Government's involvement with the rPCC, her position as to testifying, openly or otherwise, now or in the future, should be determined. It is pointed out that testimony by her that the Cuban Government retained Taber to start a pro-Cuban group in New York City and that an official of the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Relations actually hired Taber to do so could conceivably be used as basis for prosecutive action against Taber and/or the FPCC when added to the previous testimony of Buch. The Bureau feels very strongly concerning potential of Cobb's interview. However, if she positively refuses to cooperate with your office and you are unap to accomplish this satisfactorily, it is possible (that CiAR question her along: the above lines.
