Conclusions eae Basically, the research effort for the present paper produced two se eneral conclusions. (First, }the SSC Final Report contains humerous a actual errors, both in the extensive treatment of a selected opera- — a ition (AMLASH) and in a number of separate incidents that it presents. (Second. while one can make the point in principle that the Warren | Comission could well have broadened its review to include the anti- F: Cuban programs of the U.S. Government, in trying to make the case for eat concept Book: V of the SSC Final Report. want_to_such lengths in its It is difficult to treatment as to detract from the point at hand. ‘grarect erize it more “generously. fn a very real sense, the SSC Final Report has compounded the Prssre oF public perception. On a flawed presentation it has accused _ * ‘aceiligence agencies of derelictions and worse. While it has , . Petntoree be . . . . . . i ced the public sense of unfinished business yet to be done, it $13 ba . ; ; sadly beclouded the issue as to have done a disservice to a NAS Rae HW 53080 Docld:32272935 Page 2° <i -!t ie Pee: |
future attempts. at objective and dispassionate inquiry. While one can understand today why the Warren Commission limited to reinforce the credibility of its effort had it taken a broader view of the matter. CIA, too, could have considered in specific or Cuban involvement in the assassination because of tensions of the time. It is not enough to be able to point out erroneous criticisms made today. The Agency should have taken broader initiatives then, as well. That CIA employees at the time felt--as. they obviously did--that the activities about which they knew had no relevance to the Warren Commission inquiry does not take the place of a record of conscious review. The present research effort has undertaken to conduct such a review; it is noted that the findings are essentially negative. However, it must be recognized that CIA cannot be as confident of a cold trail in 1977 as it could have seen in 1964; this apparent fact will be noted by the critics of the Agency, and by those who have found a career in the questions already asked and yet to be asked about the assassination of “resident Kennedy.

-e) Location of Trafficante . | To support the description of Trafficante “as a courier, the 2967 IGR states that "YR/t that’ time the gambling casinos were still operating in Cuba, and Trafficante was ‘making regular trips. between ESR 175 Miami and Havana on syndicate business The Committee has obtained some evidence which indicates ‘that Trafficante was not travelling to Cuba during this period. No records available to the ‘Committee from INS, | State Department, or the FBI reflect any travels. after February, 1960. During this _ . time, the FBI maintained physical surveillance on Trafficante. i" Trafficante testified before the . Committee that he only made two trips. to Cuba after a ; , a his ‘release from the Trescornia prison, in August, 1959, and that these trips occurred within two to. three _ months of this release. Tingaivionanly, « considering Trafficante' s reputed top position in the La. Cosa Nostra, it seems more ‘reasonable that Trafficante would send a representative to Cuba to. conduct any business rather than risk being detained by Castro again. «
