8 April 1977 MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, Security Analysis Group FROM : Jerry G. Brown SUBJECT : HEMMING, Gerald Patrick OS#429 229 ee 1. Reference is made to the attachment which is a copy of a memorandum contained in Subject file dated 7 November 1960 from Chief/Contact Division/OO to Chief/ Personnel Security Division/Office of Security.captioned "Jerry P. HENNING, Jr., Ex-US Marine who served in Cuban Army and Air Force O0O-A-3170536", a copy of which was sent to WH Division and CI Staff. It is apparent that the HENNING referred to therein is identical with Gerald Patrick HEMMING. 2. Of pertinence for the porposes of instant memo- randum is that information contained in paragraphs four and five of the reference and related by HEMMING voluntarily to the Contact Division/Los Angeles Office between 11 and 21 October 1960, to wit: "Henning returned to California in October 1958....He left for Cuba by air via Miami on or about 18 February 1959 arriving in Havana on 19 February 1959," "He claimed to have contacted officials in the Cuban Consul's office in Los Angeles prior to his departure." 3. In substance relative to the above, the HEMMING aa file reflects that he served in the U. S. Marine Corps from 3 19 April 1954 to 17 October 1958. (The 201 file concerning HEMMING reflects that he served in Japan with a U. S. Marine Air Wing.) He then returned to the Los Angeles area for discharge and then left for Cuba circa 18 February 1959 and joined Castro's forces. eet CL BY 007472 ree B SEGRE
53294 4. The pertinence of the foregoing is that Lee Harvey OSWALD served with a U. S. Marine Air Wing in Japan, and when OSWALD returned to the United States, he was assigned to Santa Anna, California (Los Angeles area). Extensive testimony contained in the Warren Commission hearings by OSWALD's fellow Marines at Santa Anna contain the theme that OSWALD was interested in going to Cuba to join Castro (upon his discharge) in early 1959 and that in early 1959 OSWALD allegedly made some contact with the Cuban Consul's Office in Los Angeles. 5. The above as well as the Office of Security file concerning HEMMING which is replete with information possibiy linking HEMMING and his cohorts to OSWALD was . rougnt to the attention of Mr. John Leader (and Mr. Scott BrecHinridge), Inspector General, on 6 April 1977. Mr. Leader advised he would pursue the matter. Security Analysis Group Attachment cc: IG/John Leader DoclId: 3273616850 Page 4
