The results of the polygraph examination were reviewed and, although the test could have been more detailed and accurate, the op$nion is that the subject of the examination was being truthful in relating his intentions as to his activities in the invasion of 12 September 1963. The following information was developed, and was relayed to the Los Angeles, California, office of the Central Intelligence | Agency on 4 September 1963. . . DETAILS l. Predication ' ! This investigation was authorized by LCDR F.-J. LESSING, USCG, Chief, Intelligence and Law Enforcement Branch, llth Coast Guard District, pursuant to information received by an investigator on 4 September 1963. 2. © 4 September 1963, the undersigned investigator became engaged in a conversa- tion with Mr. Robeft BARRICK, Director, and Mr. Bert BOVAY, Polygraph Examiner, . of the West Coast Lie Detection Center, 842 Redondo Avenue, Long Beach, California. BARRICK’ and BOVAY related the following: On 30 August 1963, BARRICK administered a polygraph examination to Loren Eugene HALL who is presently using the alias of Lorenzo PASCILLO. The polygraph examination was requested by one Bill TEUNNISON who identified himself as a member of the John Birch Society. TEUNNISON requested the examination be given to HALL to verify the facts that HALL had told TEUNNISON regarding his (HALL's) activities in an invasion of Cuban planned for 12 September 1963. HALL was scheduled to give a talk before a local chapter of the John Birch Society. The purpose of this talk was to raise funds for an invasion group in which HALL is to take part.

HALL, Loran Eugene, aka Lorenzo PASCILLO Page 2 of .¥ pages developed: HALL stated that he took part in the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba... HALL is presently on a fund-raising campaign in the United States to raise money for an invasion which-is allegedly scheduled to take part in Cuba on 12 September 1963. HALL stated that the purpose of this invasion of Cuba is to counteract a “pseudo” invasion of Cuba which is sceduled to take place on 18 September 1963. The invasion of 18 September 1963 is slated to be headed by three groups, one of which is to depart from Guatemala, one from Nicaragua, and the third groups point of departure is unknown. HALL related that each of the three groups is led by a known Cuban Communist. HALL stated the CIA is aware of the invasion of 18 September but has been led to believe that these three group leaders are former Cuban Communists who are now "“anti-Castro". Actually, Hall stated, these group leaders ere still active Communists. The invasion of 18 September 1963 has been designed to oust Castro from Cuba but still retain a Communist regime thereby allowing the present U. S. administration to play down the Cuban issue for politi- cal purposes. HALL stated the new regime in Cuba will give the appearance of over-throwing CASTRO and the establishment of a democratic government but in effect will still be a Communist stronghold and Soviet controlled. HALL alleges that the present administration is fully aware of the outcome of the invasion planned for 18 September 1963. HALL stated that the administration is "for" that invasion so that the Cuban situation will not be an issue in the forthcoming election. HALL stated that the next election for president will probably be between KENNEDY and GOLDWATER and thet GOLDWATER is presently "riding high" politically on the Cuban situation. HALL stated the purpose of his invasion scheduled for 12 September 1963 ff [4s to destroy refineries, powerplants, etc., and to fight against the forces invading on 18 September. HALL stated he also plans to take motidn pictures of the action and return to the United States for further fund-raising speeches. The polygraph examiner, BARRICK, stated that HALL agreed not to accept money from the John Birch Society until his returm to the U. S. after the invasion. BARRICK related that HALL appears to be Cuban in thet he is dark and wears a beard but has no Cuban accent. BARRICK further related that HALL is apparently vehemently anti-Semitic in that HALL claims that of the one hundred forty top advisers in the present edministration, one hundred four of them are "atheistic Jews". Each time the subject of Jews came up in their conversation, BARRICK related, HALL nearly "went through the roof" berating them. BARRICK stated that thé individual requesting the polygraph examination, TEUNNISON, appears to be well-read on Communism and "seemed to know what he was talking about". TEUNNISON alleges that \' the man directly under J. EDGAR HOOVER in the structure of the FBI is’ slated to take HOOVER's job in the event of his death or retirement. This individual, whose name BARRICK could not recall, supposedly was deported from this country for his activities in the Communist Party many years ago and return¢in the early 1950's. to take his present job. TEUNNISON stated that the planned invasion of 18 September is just a part of the "international conspiracy" designed to take over this and other democratic countries. 3. HALL was given a polygraph examination as to his intentions regarding his activities in the planned invasion of 12 September 1963. The results of the examination were reviewed by the undersigned. Although the results were some-what slight and difficult to determine, the results indicated weak!:truthfulness and no deception was indicated. It is the opinion that the test was not properly constructed in theithe relevant questions were not of significant strength. HW 54756 DBocld: 322762125
: Phy gy re alb say 6 HALL, ‘Loren Eugene, aka Lorenzo PASCIELO : page 3 of 3 _ peges A more definite determination could have been reached if the overall test was more properly constructed.
