HW 54463 MM 105-1601 It is noted that CIA requested the State Depart- ment not to disseminate the above information outside of their office, without prior approval from CIA; therefore, this information is being placed in the Administrative Section of this report, inasmuch as the information can not be disseminated. It is noted that on June 2, 1961, MM 726-S _ informed that subject, in addition to stating that he had transmitted messages on behalf of the FRD, had said that everything he sent went to CIA before being transmitted, and that all information which came back from Cuba went to the FRD and also to CIA. Subject told informant that if he goes to trial, he will implicate CIA as being behind his radio operation. This information has been furnished to Mr. RAY DUBOIS, CIA, Miami. {DUBOIS said he had received similar reports, and that for that reason, his headquarters, on May 12, 1961, requested that efforts be made to have the | charges dropped at Miami against subject. DUBOIS said such action was requested, inasmuch as the general feeling was that if subject were prgsecuted, it could result in embarrassment to CIA - eS u) - On May 3, 1961, ROBERT W. RUST, Assistant United ‘States Attorney, Miami, Florida, who is handling the pro- secution of subject, directed a letter to HAROLD SHAPIRO, Chief, Administrative Regulations Section, Criminal Division, Department of Justice, Washington, D. C., en- closing copies of the complaint filed against the subject. RUST said in his letter that he was not proceeding further with the prosecution, until such time as he received instructions from the interested agencies, or Mr. SHAPIRO's office. RUST added that his office had not been advised as yet as to the results of the cryptographic analysis of the seized code books and coded messages, and that he had received no information whatsoever concerning this matter.
