The following is a gist of my phone call Thursday afternoon (30 November) with Gunn re his request to see. Escalant's file(s) *: , ; As requested by DO, I told Gunn that since we had been) unable to link Escalant with the JFK collection or investigation the issue of relevance had been raised and that he would not be able to see any files this week. Gunn response: “This is an issue that they. [ARRB staEf] takes seriously... if we [Agency] want a ‘formal request 2 .% would | ‘prepare one this afternoon...not a fishing expedition ...information from a credible source in Johnson White House... {information] linked to 1964 and CIA...” 1 I suggested that we discuss after he returned from the Conference. He indicated agreement . : 2. Gunn may change. his mind and send over a formal request anyway; he clearly plans to pursue this issue. I recommend we ask Gunn to be more specific in terms of Escalant's relevance to the JFK assassination story, timeframe ‘and what he is looking for; this could be done either: in a meeting with him or ina formal request. He has mentioned in each of his conversations that the Agency may not want this to be a formal written request, but is vague on why . 3. See attached article for Escalant's current activities re JFK Assassination story. *{Gunn first raised the issue of Escalant several weeks ago; last week he ask if it would be possible to view the file prior to attending a conference on the JFK Assassination that Escalant would also be. attending] . “Barry Harrelson Senior Reviewer JFK Project i i cc: Ellie Neiman HRG - INTERNAL USE ONLY

The group analyzed the politica] circumstances, dicect causes, and main responsibility for the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy in November 1963. It is interesting to point out that 32 years after: the Dallas assassination, well-founded doubts continue to grow over the official reports piven at that time. .« CEXT: A seminar entitled: JFK, The Truth Revealed vas organized by the Rie de Janeiro authorities in late August in that capital city. -e JET? During that seminar, Cuban and U.S. experts agreed to rule out the theory of a sole killer, vhich is the main conclusion of the report issued ty the Yarrcen Commission.

Vayne Smith said that, after 30 years of studies and investigations by specialists from non- governmental U.S. organizations, it had been established that President Kennedy had rejected the plan of implementing new anti- Cuban operation in 1963; the same year in which he vas shot to death> in Dallas. | - TEXT: Nt is not futile to cecall rhat ducing those days of counterrevo lutionary effervescence -~ sponsored, promoted, and financed by the government in Vashington -- attempts were made to build a case against the Cuban government on charges that if vas cesponsible for this crime. The allegation was that the Cuban government was' retaliating for the Bahia de Cochinos action. At that time, it was said that the Cuban government had hired several U.S. Mafia criminals ta carry out the attack. There vas a great deal of speculation about accused Lec Harvey Cswald’s visits to Noscrw and Havana, vhere he allegedly trained for the Dallas oper ition.
