Hotel Nacional. CELLINI informed on January 7, 1958, that SANTO
TRAFFICANTE, MARTIN FOX, part owner of the Tropicana Night Club, and

Commercial Survey Company
Sergeant FRANK NASH, Intelligence Unit (IU), Chicago
Police Department (CG PD), advised on 2/8/61 that the IU had
recently set up a dummy juke box corporation in CG for the
purpose of investigating the Commercial Survey Company at 110
N. Franklin St., CG, and the Recorded Music Service Association,
188 W. Randolph St., CG. Although these are separate firms,
they are, in actuality, one in the same, and the purpose of
these companies is a shake-down of juke box operators in the
CG area, which nets these companies in excess of $100,000 per
year. Juke box operators are charged $1.15 a month per
machine by these companies on a "subscription" basis. If
any questions are given, the purpose of the company is to
"investigate stolen and broken juke boxes."

ceeding at a high rate of speed. She said that she had been
to the Armory Lounge and the Amber Light Lounge on that night
and said that to her knowledge there were no other hoodlums
in either place. (4)
Mrs. SWEAZY stated that in her opinion SAM GIANCANA
is a "perfect gentleman" and is being unduly harrassed by the
various law enforcement agencies. She said that GIANCANA
has told her that he is a "retired gambler" and that she is
inclined to believe his statement. She said that she does
not believe GIANCANA is a mobster as disclosed by newspaper
articles and that if she did believe this she would no longer
associate with him. Mrs. SWEAZY added that GIANCANA at the
time was "out of town" but declined to state exactly where
he may be. (4)

GIANCANA was on that date at the Armory Lounge in Forest Park,

CG 6343-C* advised on 2/7/61 that ANTHONY JVACCARDO
and GUS ALEX held a conference on that date during which

the police have been known to conduct surveillances on a
regular basis re the syndicate. (4)

SUBJECT: DO Results of New Search for JFK
Assassination Records
1. This memorandum is in response to the request from
the staff of the Assassination Records Review Board (ARRB).
The staff requested that the CIA issue an Agency-wide
employee bulletin for a new search for JFK Assassination
Records. OIM-98-0081 dated 30 July 1998 was issued.
2. DO/Information Management Staff ran a corporate
search of COMET, the DO's electronic message repository.
That search generated some 128 hits. Michelle Combs of the
ARRB staff reviewed the search results and selected three
records for inclusion in the JFK assassination records
collection:
3. The three selected documents have been sanitized
with Ms. Combs' concurrence. The sanitization is more
extensive than JFK guidelines because of the documents'
proximity' to the present and to current sources and methods.
4. The documents are not herewith attached. They are
being provided separately by DO/IMS/ESG/HCS.

HARVEY:
HARVEY confirmed the accuracy of the I.G. REPORT version of his
initial discussion of Executive Action with BISSELL. (36-37; 6/25)
HARVEY testified that his "net impression" from the discussion with
BISSELL was that both Executive Action and the ongoing poison pill
assassination plot were "fully authorized and approved" (54; 6/25),
although no specific individual in the "WHITE HOUSE" was mentioned.
(81; 6/25) HARVEY said that after his initial meeting with BISSELL,
he discussed the propriety and feasibility of assassination with se-
lected CIA officers, who generally expressed a "negative reaction."
(40; 6/25) After a subsequent meeting with BISSELL, HARVEY continued
to develop the assassination capability without mounting an operation
or communicating the objective to any potential asset who was being
assessed. (45; 6/25)
Chronology. HARVEY has notes (see attachment) of two meetings to
discuss Executive Action which he is "almost certain" took place in
1961. (51; 6/25) On January 25, he met with SIDNEY GOTTLIEB, the new
Chief of CIA's Technical Services Division. On the following day, he
met with ARNOLD SILVER, who recruited agent QJWIN the only agent
HARVEY ever employed in Project ZRRIFLE (for the purpose of "spotting"
potential assets). (50-55; 6/25) HARVEY said that these meetings took
place after his initial discussion of Executive Action with BISSELL,
thus placing that meeting in "early January." (52; 6/25)

MEMORANDUM NO. 3
SUBJECT
: GARRISON and the Kennedy
Assassination.
REFERENCE
: CI/R&A Memorandum of 8 May 1967,
Subject as Above
1.
Recently District Attorney James C. GARRISON has made
a number of spectacular charges against CIA. These charges became
more vehement after newspaper and magazine articles attacking the
GARRISON probe had been printed by The Saturday Evening Post,
Newsweek and (on 21 May 1967) the New York Times.
2.
The following are the major accusations made by GARRISON
since 8 May 1967, the date of reference:
a. CIA and the FBI "cooperated in concealing facts
behind the assassination of President John F. Kennedy from both
the Warren Commission and the American public." CIA "knew
all along that the Warren Commission's report was completely
untrue in its conclusion that Kennedy was shot by Lee Harvey
Oswald acting alone." The GARRISON investigation "has turned
up mounting evidence of CIA involvement in Kennedy's death."
GARRISON asserted that CIA "duped the Commission by flooding
its members with a gush of irrelevant information to obscure the
truth." (The Washington Star, 8 May 1967.)
b.
GARRISON intended to ask "the U.S. Senate to investi-
gate" the "alleged Central Intelligence Agency 'coverup'."
GARRISON is a personal friend of Senator Russell Long of Louisiana
(Washington Post and Times Herald, 9 May 1967.)
c. GARRISON has told the New Orleans States-Item
that "Oswald was probably a CIA agent who worked undercover
with anti-Castro Cubans while publicly demonstrating for Castro.
The . . . CIA and the FBI were aware of Oswald's connections
RYBAT
SECRET
13-00000
SECRET
with anti-Castro organizations but withheld the information from
the Warren Commission. The CIA and the FBI presented the
Commission a fake picture of Oswald and withheld information
about Oswald because he and/or a Cuban companion were CIA
agents." (UPI of 9 May 1967.)
d. The New Orleans Grand Jury issued a subpoena calling
on CIA to produce its photograph of Oswald and a Cuban companion
in Mexico City. (UPI, 10 May 1967.)
e. On 10 May Mark LANE, author of Rush to Judgment,
testified before the New Orleans Grand Jury. Upon emerging
from the jury room he identified CIA as the "powerful domestic
force" which ". participated in the original plan which, in
fact, culminated in the death" of the President. (The New Orleans
Time-Picayune, 11 May 1967.)
f. GARRISON charged on 11 May 1967 that CIA was
paying the lawyers of some persons involved in his investigation.
He named Burton KLEIN (attorney for Alvin BEAUBOEUF) and
Steven PLOTKIN (an attorney for Gordon NOVEL) as having
received CIA money. Both denied the charge. (AP, 11 May 1967.)
(Comment: No CIA record of KLEIN or PLOTKIN.)
g. GARRISON claimed on 12 May 1967 that Oswald's
notebook contained an entry, PO 19106, which was an encoded
version of Jack Ruby's unlisted Dallas telephone number, WH 1-5601.
h. On 8 May 1967 GARRISON "said that he had begun an
investigation of the activities of the CIA and the Federal Bureau
of Investigation." (The New York Times, 11 May 1967.)
i. On 12 May GARRISON claimed that Ruby's unlisted
number also appeared in an address book belonging to Clay L.
SHAW. (AP, 12 May 1967.)
j. On 15 May 1967 an attorney for Clay L. SHAW said
that the figure PO 19106 in Oswald's address book was a telephone
number in Russia. (The New Orleans Time-Picayune of 16 May
1967.) (Comment: The statement is almost certainly correct,
as has been previously reported. The prefix is believed to be in
Cyrillic, a double D, not PO. The entry is placed among others

written in Russian by Oswald in Moscow or Minsk, very
probably the former. On 23 May 1967 the FBI confirmed to
C/CI/R&A that the page had been shown to Marina Oswald, who
could throw no new light on it. An FBI expert had made a
visual re-examination of the original. On this basis he could give
only an unofficial opinion, but it was his view that all entries
on the page had been written in the same ink and at the same time.
The FBI has not given us a written report on this subject.)
k. On 17 May 1967 GARRISON said, "We are particularly
interested in clarifying now why there is also coded in Lee
Oswald's address book the local phone number of the Central
Intelligence Agency. We have had evidence for some time that
in Dallas, Texas, Jack Ruby was working for the CIA at the same
time Lee Oswald was working for the CIA here. This means that
the CIA well knew that these two men knew each other. We also
have evidence that Lee Oswald was not the only man in Dealy
Plaza who was an employee of the CIA and now we have found the
phone number of the CIA in the front of Lee Oswald's address
book. Since it is obvious that it is no longer possible to get truth
in any form from officials of the CIA agency (sic) in Washington,
no matter how highly placed, we are looking forward to talking to
this businessman from Irving, Texas, about some of these
coincidences." (The New Orleans States-Item of 17 May 1963.)
1. On 22 May 1967 the Moscow Domestic Service and
TASS gave publicity to GARRISON's charges against CIA. The
Havana Domestic Service published on the same day a longer (two
page) account which included the following: "Five Cuban counter-
revolutionaries, acting on behalf of the Central Intelligence Agency,
assassinated President John F. Kennedy on 23 November 1963,
New Orleans District Attorney James Garrison said last night."
m. The above item is based upon a TV appearance on
21 May 1967 by GARRISON, who told the WWL-TV audience that
Oswald did not even touch a gun on the day of the assassination,
that the five Cuban assassins were angered by President Kennedy's
handling of the Bay of Pigs, and that CIA, which he labeled as
more powerful than the Gestapo in Nazi Germany, was withholding
its information from his office. (The Washington Post, 22 May

n. In the same TV speech GARRISON claimed that
CIA knew the names of the Cubans involved and that CIA had
said of Oswald, "As for the kid, well, that's just one of those
things." (Washington Daily News, 22 May 1967.)
o. A TASS item, in English, 29 May 1967, ran as follows:
"... GARRISON said today over ABC that President Kennedy
was killed not by Oswald but by a group of conspirators made up,
in particular, of former employees of the U.S. Central Intelligence
Agency. Oswald himself was not a CIA agent, but was obviously
an intelligence employee of the U.S. Government." "The CIA
concealed from the Warren Commission, from the American
people, and from the world the fact that its former employees were
involved in the assassination . . .," Garrison said. The attorney
repeated his call for a congressional investigation of the CIA."

Emilio SANTANA (paragraph 7 C of reference memorandum)
DPOB: 7 Sept 1935, Cardenas, Matanzas, Cuba
(also reported 7 Sept 1936 and 7 Sept 1937
1. Subject is probably identifiable with Emilio SANTANA
Galindo, who was recruited by JMWAVE in December 1960 as a
guide for an infiltration team. SANTANA was paid a monthly
salary under provisions of his MOC until he was terminated
on 15 October 1963 when the ratline developed by the team
became inoperable due to occupation of the target area by
Soviet technicians. Another compelling reason for SANTANA's
termination stemmed from his untruthful reporting concerning
certain aspects of the team operations.
2. In an attempt to establish positive identification,
JMWAVE obtained a report from the Dade County (Miami)
Sheriff's office that an Emilio SANTANA (no matronymic)
born 6 July 1936 in Cuba, was declared a fugitive from
Louisiana on a federal warrant 22 December 1965, FBI Sheet
132287F, based on two counts of burglery in Louisiana.
He was arrested and booked by the Dade County Sheriff's
office on 2 February 1966 and was presumably sent back to
Louisiana. At the time of his arrest SANTANA gave his
address as 851 SW 4th Street, Miami, which is the same
address shown on an old immigration from when he was
living in Miami. Headquarters files indicate SANTANA is
separated from his wife who apparently still resides at
the old Miami address. Since SANTANA's date of birth varies
on various documents in his 201 file, the variation in birth
date on his arrest sheet is not conclusive. The fact he
did give his former address to the arresting officers
indicates he is Emilio SANTANA Galindo. A 1962 immigration
form includes a photograph which could be obtained from
JMWAVE for identification purposes if this becomes nécessary.
3. Although JMWAVE has had no contact with SANTANA
since his termination, there is a note in Station files
dated 23 June 1964 that SANTANA used the Agency as his
employer on an auto credit application.

Sergio Vicente ARCACHA Smith (Enclosure 2 of reference memorandum)
DPOB: 22 January 1923, Cuba
1. Traces on ARCACHA do not reflect the date he first
arrived in the U.S. However, he became the FRENTE REVOLU-
CIONARIO DEMOCRATICO (FRD) delegate in New Orleans prior
to the Bay of Pigs invasion and continued in that position
until the FRD ceased to function. The FRD was the predecessor
of the CUBAN REVOLUTIONARY COUNCIL, and was organized and
supported by the Agency. The organization was used as a
front for recruitment of Brigade 2506 for the invasion.
During this period ARCACHA reported to the FRD headquarters
in Miami through a post office box in Coral Gables, and
reportedly maintained extensive relations with the New
Orleans FBI and Immigration offices. Two of his regular
FBI contacts were a Mr. De Bruce and the deceased Guy
Banister.
2. ARCACHA was also one of the promoters of the
FRIENDS OF DEMOCRATIC CUBA, INC (FDC) which was incorporated
in New Orleans on 6 January 1961. This organization was
ostensibly created by several New Orleans business and
political figures, including the deceased former FBI agent,
Guy Banister, to collect money to aid Cubans in their
fight against Communism. According to the articles of
incorporation, these donations would also be used to support
the FRD and the funds were to be channeled through ARCACHA,
less a percentage to be retained by the FDC. An investi-
gation conducted by a reliable Miami Station asset concluded
that the FDC was organized strictly for the personal gain
of the promoters with the approval and collaboration of
ARCACHA. The investigation produced no evidence that any
individual donations were ever solicited or received and
recommended that the funds of the Stevedores Union and the
books of the New Orleans Exporters Company be investigated
for evidence of personal gain and possible evidence of
federal tax evasion, since both the president of the New
Orleans Exporters Company, Gerard F. Tuńague, and the Chief
of New Orleans Stevedores Union, Alfred Chittenden, were
officials of the FDC. Approximately one month after the
FDC was created, strong criticism from some prominent Cubans
put the organization out of business.
3. Information in an immigration card reflects that
ARCACHA travelled to Caracas, Venezuela at an unspecified
date. Ilis address in Venezuela was HOTEL TIUNA, Caracas,
and his US address was listed as 4523 Duplesses Street,
New Orleans. Passport No. 00433.

her arrival in the US. INCA had a particular interest in
Miss CASTRO since they distributed hundreds of tapes contain-
ing Miss CASTRO's declarations when slie was surfaced in
Mexico. A JMWAVE asset, who is Miss CASTRO's business manager,
handled the planning and arrangements for the New Orleans
visit with INCA officials. The only subsequent contact

Albert FOWLER (Paragraph 7 (B) of reference memorandum)
DPOB: 15 July 1929, New Orleans, Louisiana
.-
1. Subject is Alberto Casimir FOWLER Perillait, a
member of Brigade 2506 who was captured during the invasion
and returned to the US in the December 1962 prisoner
exchange.
2. FOWLER apparently returned to Cuba with his parents
during his early life and returned to the US to attend
school in his late teens. He attended the Lenox School,
Lenox, Massachusetts, 1948-49; Louisiana State University
1949-51. After his graduation from LSU he returned to Cuba
and married Margarita Paulette Van der SCHUEREN, born 13
August 1933, Brussels, Belgium. FOWLER was President of
the North American Sugar Company, Havana, from 1951 until
he returned to the US in November 1960 and enlisted in
Brigade 2506. At the time of his enlistment he gave Mark
FOSTER, Cuban Refugee Center White House Representative,
and former US Ambassador William D. PAULEY, as references.
Following his release from prison FOWLER worked for the
BRAHMS CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, Palm Beach, Florida, where his
father resides, and for BROOKS TRAVEL SERVICES, W. Palm
Beach, Florida, until at least late 1964. He apparently
lost his US citizenship during his years of residence in
Cuba and immigration records indicate he applied for advance
parole status in November 1964 while he was still employed
in W. Palm Beach. He apparently returned to Louisiana
sometime after that date. FOWLER's mother lives in Coving-
ton, Louisiana, and he has a sister who is married to Fort
PIPES, Jr., member of a prominent New Orleans family.

MEMORANDUM
SUBJECT: Lawrence J. LABORDE, 201-294688
1. On 11 May 1967 the headquarters office of the Domestic
Contacts Service telephoned the C/CI/R&A and said that Subject had
telephoned the New Orleans office of the DCS that day. Subject said that
he was an ex-CIA employee, that he feared that D. A. Jim GARRISON
would subpoena him, that he was willing to leave the U.S. to avoid a
subpoena, and that he wanted the office to tell him what to do.
2. A review of Subject's file has led to the hypothesis that this
visit may have been a provocation, probably engineered by GARRISON
in an attempt to trap CIA into advising Subject to leave Louisiana..
Had such advice been given, GARRISON would have been able to buttress
his charge that CIA is attempting to obstruct the course of justice in
New Orleans.
3. The Miami Station requested a provisional covert security
approval for Subject on 14 March 1961. The request was granted on
24 March 1961. (A PCSA approves contact for spotting and assessing
only.) However, a 31 March 1961 cable from Miami requested per-
mission to increase Subject's salary to $700 a month and to pay him
bonuses,
4. A Headquarters dispatch of 23 March 1962 warned Miami
that Subject was indiscreet, drank too much, and had an unsavoury
reputation. On 20 April 1962 Miami cancelled the request for an
approval, on the grounds that Subject was a poor security risk.
Subject had no later relationship with the Agency. Subject was bitter
about his CIA contacts when terminated and made reckless threats.
5. An FBI report of 23 May 1962 said Subject had contacted
representatives of the Cuban Revolutionary Council (CRC, Agency-created.
and supported) in New Orleans, his home town; had offered his services;
and had said he was running a boat out of Key West, smuggling Cubans
and guns with the knowledge of CIA.

6. A Miami report of June 1962 said that Subject was employed
1947-1949 in Mexico by the U. S. Department of Agriculture but was
fired for excessive drinking, discharging unauthorized firearms, and
non-support of dependent children.
7. The New Orleans States-Item of 28 July 1962 named Subject
as the source of bitterly anti-CIA remarks in a story which praises
LABORDE as a "good family man, completely reliable", and quotes a
Cuban refugee leader as saying that CIA and FBI agents termed Subject
a man of integrity. An anti-CIA article in the Denver Post of 3 June 1962
also appears to be based on statements from LABORDE.
8. FBI reporting of August 1962 stated that LABORDE had duped
certain persons into buying a schooner, the Elsie Reichart, by saying
that he and a crew would operate it for Cuban operations which the
U. S. Government could not openly acknowledge but for which it would
pay handsomely.

DIRECTORIO REVOLUCIONARIO ESTUDIANTIL (DRE)
(STUDENT REVOLUTIONARY DIRECTORATE)
1. The DRE was conceived, created and funded by the
Agency in September 1960 and terminated in December 1966.
It was an outgrowth of the activist student group in Cuba
which fought against BATISTA and later against CASTRO.
Many of the leaders came into exile around September 1960
and were subsequently trained and infiltrated into Cuba
by the Agency in late 1960 where they operated by obtain-
ing intelligence setting up action teams, etc., up through
the Bay of Pigs invasion. While the DRE was initially set
up as a psych warfare outfit, the organization was given a
large amount of paramilitary aid in funds and material.
After the Bay of Pigs, the DRE engaged in independent
military actions, which declined at Agency direction and
because of a reduction in funds from late 1962 until ter-
mination of the group. Members were used through 1966 as
political action agents, for publishing propaganda which
was sent throughout the Hemisphere, attending international
student meetings at Agency direction, and producing radio
programs and special propaganda campaigns.
2. After the cutback in military operations, many
of the best DRE members relocated in other areas. Ατ
present there are delegations in most Latin American coun-
tries which have maintained some contact with various
Agency stations over the years, although the DRE is no
longer very active. During the organization's 6 year
period of active existence DRE personnel were in contact
with several JMWAVE staffers and outside contract agents.
However, from January 1965 through December 1966, contact
with DRE personnel was limited to two agents, Juan Manuel
SALVAT, the current DRE Secretary General who is now
operating a bookstore in Miami, Florida, and Fernando
GARCIA Chacon who was relocated in El Salvador.

THE INFORMATION COUNCIL OF THE AMERICAS, INC. (INCA)
1. INCA is an anti-Communist propaganda organization
with headquarters in New Orleans, that disseminates English
and foreign language propaganda tapes and films on a world-
wide basis, conducts public forums of an extremist
political nature, etc. The organizational impetus and funds
apparently come from wealthy New Orleans figures including
Dr. Aiton OCHSNER, of the OCHSNER CLINIC, and Willard E.
ROBERTSON. In recent years funds have been supplied by the
SCHICK SAFETY RAZOR COMPANY. An INCA letterhead listing all
the officers and officials has been requested from JMWAVE,
which has had some casual correspondence with the organiza-,
tion concerning Miss Juanita CASTRO.
2. There is no indication of any Agency relationship
with INCA prior to January 1965 when INCA sponsored Miss
CASTRO's appearance in New Orleans. At that time an Agency
asset who functioned as Miss CASTRO's business manager was
involved with INCA officials in planning the New Orleans
visit where Miss CASTRO was given an award at a dinner
sponsored by INCA. The dinner, which was attended by civic
leaders and representatives of all news media, took place
shortly after Miss CASTRO's defection and there was
considerable interest in her appearance. INCA was particularly
interested since it had distributed hundreds of English
and Spanish language tapes containing her statements when
she was surfaced in Mexico. In October 1966 INCA again
requested that Miss CASTRO appear as a guest speaker in
major American cities in connection with the release of
the INCA motion picture production "HITLER IN HAVANA".
Following various reviews of the film, JMWAVE decided the
film would probably become controversial and it would be
inadvisable to permit Miss CASTRO to accept the invitation.
Because of INCA's extremist political orientation, JMWAVE
has wanted to avoid any more involvement between Miss CASTRO
and INCA and the Station asset, in his capacity as business
manager, has managed to prevent this. There has been only
one casual contace between our asset and Edward BUTLER,
Executive Vice-President of INCA, since Miss CASTRO'S 1965
New Orleans trip. This took place recently when BUTLER was
in the area promoting the "HITLER IN HAVANA" film.
3. According to JMWAVE, INCA officials have never
indicated in any way that they are aware of Agency control
and direction of Miss CASTRO or her business agent, and there
is no indication that INCA officials have had any official
contact with Agency officers.

FRENTE REVOLUCIONARIO DEMOCRATICO (FRD)
(CUBAN DEMOCRATIC REVOLUTIONARY FRONT)
1. The FRD was created with Agency assistance,
guidance and financial support in May 1960 and consisted
of several anti-CASTRO groups. The FRD was formed as a
political action, propaganda and military unit. Initial
actions consisted of extensive radio and printed propaganda,
demonstrations, and trips throughout the Hemisphere to gain
support for the fight against CASTRO. The FRD also functioned
as the front organization for recruiting the members of
the Bay of Pigs invasion force and carried out a massive
program of social assistance to Brigade 2506 members in
training camps and their families. Although the FRD head-
quarters were based in Miami, delegates were assigned to
other areas which included New Orleans, Louisiana, Tampa,
Florida, and Mexico City, to gather intelligence and
coordinate Cuban refugee activities.
2. In late 1960 or early 1961 the CUBAN REVOLUTIONARY
COUNCIL (CRC) was formed to coordinate and direct FRD
activities and this group was headed by Agency and White
House sponsored Dr. Jose MIRO Cardona, assisted by Manuel
ARTIME and Dr. Antonio VARONA.. Both the FRD and the CRC
continued to function until October 1961 when the FMD was
completely absorbed by the CRC in order to avoid the confusion
resulting from duplication of personnel, activities and
funding. The CRC also had direct access to President
Kennedy and top White House aides. Because of the magnitude
of the FRD and CRC operations and the Agency participation
in the activities and funding of the groups, a large number
of JMWAVE and Headquarters were directly involved with both
FRD and CRC personnel.

3. A fairly reliable source, in a report dated 3 May 1963. stated
that Jose FERNANDEZ Roa is the Third Secretary of the Cuban
Embassy in Xexico. On 17 May 1963, another fairly reliable
source said that Jose FERNANDEZ Roa, the newly appointed diplomat
to the Cuban Embassy in Mexico, is married and has one child.
4. A usually reliable source, in a report dated 17 May 1963, said that
Jose FERNANDEZ Roa is the Second Secretary of the Cuban Embassy
in Mexico City.
5.. A former Cultural Attache and Cuban Intelligence Service officer
gave the following information on Miguel FERNANDEZ Roa in a
report dated 24 August 1963:
Source first met FERNANDEZ in 1954 during the early
days of the organization of the 26th of July Movement in Cuba;
FERNANDEZ was one of the organizers of the Movement. He
later heard that FERNANDEZ was a member of the Cuban Intelligence
Service in the Cuban Embassy in Mexico City. In 1954-55,
FERNANDEZ attended the University of Habana, where he studied
philosophy and was a leader of the student group "Luchando en
la Fila Ortodoxo." In 1959 he returned to Cuba from Mexico
and was designated Comandancia General de la Policia in Habana.
He was later named assistant to Efigenio ALMEJEIRAS Delgado;
when Ramiro VALDEZ replaced ALMEJEIRAS as Chief of Police,
FERNANDEZ remained in his same position. FERNANDEZ was born
in Manzanillo, Oriente Province, about 1935. His father at
one time worked at the Central Estrada Palma in Manzanillo.
FERNANDEZ is an intellectual type and liked to live an easy
life. He was hot in accord with the Revolution, but was a
Communist sympathizer. He is married, but has a reputation
for woman-chasing. FERNANDEZ is about 135 pounds, five feet
four inches tall, has brown wavy hair, brown eyes, and a
fair complexion.
6. A usually reliable source, in a report dated 23 January 1964,
said that Jose Miguel FERNANDEZ Roa was the Third Secretary and
Press Attache of the Cuban Embassy in Mexico City.
7. In a report from this Agency's representative in Mexico, 16 June
1964, it was reported that Miguel ROA and Jose Miguel FERNANDEZ
Roa, Third Secretary and Press Attache of the Cuban Embassy in
Mexico City, are believed to be identical. The description of
ROA given by the scurce in the above referenced report fits that
of FERNANDEZ with the exception of the hair color; FERNANDEZ'
hair is dark rather than blond. FERNANDEZ Roa is known by the
Cuban Embassy staff in Mexico as ROA.

As the Bureau is aware, former NY 3936-C-TE is
currently being debriefed concerning any and all matters with
prosecutive merit, which he has direct and/or indirect knowledge
of.
AUSA ROBERT G. MORVILLO, SDNY, is handling the
coordination of these matters and all cases developed will be
presented and/or discussed with AUSA MORVILLO regardless of
venue. It is understood from AUSA MORVILLO that if venue is
other than in the SDNY, a Departmental attorney would be
utilized in any resulting trial.
Special Agents from IRS have also been assigned to
AUSA MORVILLO so that income tax investigations arising from
information developed will also be controlled by AUSA MORVILLO
so as not to interfere with Bureau cases.

NY 92-2300
Former NY 3936-C-TE has demonstrated that he can
prepare extensive, detailed write ups on specific loans or
deals if given the opportunity to review his records.
- He has recently completed a write up on the Cashmere
loan, Bufile 156-249; NY file 156-73. This write up supported
by documents and checks establishes a conspiracy to violate
Title 18, USC, Section 1954, in regard to a letter of commitment
given by Local 10, New York, New York, as well as monies loaned
to Cashmere by FRANK ZULFERINO of Local 10 and SANFORD POLLACK
of Local 875, IBT.
The direct knowledge of former NY 3936-C-TE does not
extend into that phase of this case involving the loan being
obtained from a Teamsters Union Pension Fund, although he does
have hearsay information.
STEPHEN BIRNBAUM, who participated in the early phase
of this case, has been contacted through his attorney, former
AUSA in the EDNY, resulting in their contacting AUSA MORVILLO.
MORVILLO has discussed this matter, making an offer of immunity
for BIRNBAUM. Authorization has been received from the
Department of Justice authorizing immunity for BIRNBAUM as of
3/19/68.
With the testimony of former NY 3936-C-TE and BIRNBAUM,
it is felt that a conspiracy can be established which would
involve among others ZULFERINO, POLLACK, SHIAH M. ARSHAM, TRAVIS
S. LEVY, SAM BERGER and JAMES PLUMERI (influential member in
notorious THOMAS LUCHESE "family" of LCN).
It is anticipated that the Cashmere case will be the
first one developed by the NYO utilizing information furnished
by former NY 3936-C-TE. It is noted, however, that utilizing
information furnished by him and approaching this type of case
on the basis of conspiracies, the potential cases anticipated
to be developed will include the following members and fringe
associates of LCN:

Recommendation in Response to DCI Marginal
Comments
Inspector General Memorandum dated 17 March 1977
entitled "Request for Guidance on Six Recommendations
Made by Mr. John D. Marks at the DCI's Confirmation
Hearings" (First three pages, annotated by the DCI,
attached)
1. Action Requested:
None.
2. Background:
Mr. Marks' second recommendation was that the DCI should make
available to appropriate police agencies all intelligence it possesses on Cuban
terrorism. Mr. Marks more particularly noted that CIA had turned down a
request by the Dade County (Miami) police for the names of Cubans who
had been trained by the CIA in the use of explosives. This is not entirely
accurate. The Dade County Police, pursuant to its investigation of the murder
of Johnny Roselli, had not requested the names of Cuban terrorists, but rather
the names of Cubans and others who may have been associated with Mr. Roselli
during the period of the Agency's involvement with him in the early 1960's.
The specific questions are included as Attachment A.

(
!
The Office of General Counsel made two points with regard to
Mr. Marks' comment on the Roselli case. First, in a letter dated 14 October 1976,
the Agency had sought the guidance of the Attorney General to-determine whether
it could legally provide the requested information. Along with_this letter, we
forwarded to the Attorney General, for whatever action he deemed appropriate,
all relevant information from Agency files which we judged could be forwarded
to the Dade County police without jeopardizing sources or methods. Second,
the Office of General Counsel noted that the remaining information which was
requested, relating to former or current agents of the Agency, still required
protection. Your marginal comment asks whether we are not straining the
concept of protection of sources when we protect those who are not now
intelligence sources and whether we are protecting them from prosecution
for terrorist activity today.
After referent memorandum was sent to you, the Attorney General
refined an earlier opinion from former Assistant Attorney General Antonin
Scalia. The Department of Justice now concludes that, to the extent Agency
information either does not involve U.S. persons or falls within one of
seven exceptions to the general prohibition against collection of information
concerning the domestic activities of U.S. persons, such information can be
provided to local police authorities. It is significant, however, that the
Attorney General in his 23 March letter to you (Attachment B) expressly
included the following language:
In addition to the facts above, the Office of Legal Counsel
has pointed out that Executive Order 11905 does not require CIA
to respond to Dade County. Indeed, the responsibility of the
Director of Central Intelligence to protect sources and methods
of intelligence, established by statute, 50 U.S.C. §403(g), and
E.O. 11905, Section 3(d) (vii), is authority for him to withhold
such information from local law enforcement officials if he
believes its disclosure would threaten the security of intelli-
gence sources or methods. (Emphasis added)
In light of the Attorney General's opinion, those offices holding
the relevant files are now reviewing them to confirm that the information
originally selected for passage to Dade County law enforcement officials
is responsive and complete.

STORET

SEOMET
By way of a more specific response to your marginal comment, we
would submit that the principle of protection of intelligence sources not only
requires that we protect those who are willing to collaborate with the U.S.
Government while they are so engaged, but also that we protect the fact of
such association after their immediate use to the Agency is over. Not only
would it be cynical in the extreme to ask persons, particularly foreign
nationals, to risk their lives and property on our behalf, assuring them
that the relationship would develop in an atmosphere of complete confi-
dentiality and then betray their trust, it would be self-defeating. Only
the firmest assurance that the Agency can and will protect intelligence
sources allows for recruitment of new sources and the continued collaboration
of existing sources. Any perceived weakening of the Agency's commitment
could have serious adverse consequences.
Measured against the need to protect even yesterday's sources
is the fact that, in the instant case, we have no information which bears on
the Roselli murder. Moreover, the Agency is in no way standing between
the police and the Cuban community; the police are free to question whomever
they wish and to enlist FBI assistance. The Agency is not protecting any
individual against prosecution; indeed, we are unaware that there are as
yet any prosecution targets.
For your information, I have included a representative sample
of the types of information we wish to protect.
- Question 2 ii requests all information on Edward Morgan,
a D.C. attorney who has reportedly represented Black, Shimon,
Roselli and Maheu.
The Office of Security notes that "most, if not all, of the
information in our files on Morgan would have no pertinence to
the police investigation. The only item of possible significance
is the fact that Morgan was formerly Roselli's lawyer and there-
fore may have been informed by Roselli of his participation at
the behest of the Agency in efforts to assassinate Fidel Castro.
This information is already in the public domain and would add
nothing to the knowledge already held by the Dade County
authorities."

The Office of Security goes on to say that in the 1951
period, Mr. Morgan was associated with the Agency in a covert
capacity and used as a "cut out" on certain matters of interest to
the Directorate of Operations. Security's reluctance to release
information on Morgan is not due to a desire to hide any material
facts from the Dade County authorities, but rather derives from
their responsibility to protect the identities of individuals who
have cooperated with the Agency to avoid damage to the careers
of such persons.

tions would respond in the negative in order to protect the
identity and cover of this individual who has been in Miami less
than a year. This is not an effort to hobble the police inves-
tigation because for the past several years the
has been proscribed from using contacts within Cuban exile
organizations for purposes of monitoring the activities of the
Cuban exile community. The
is primarily tar-
getted against those Caribbean areas where there are no Agency
stations and it has no charter for domestic activities.
16-4
Question 1 iv asks for all Agency information about Jose
De La Torriente (shot to death in his home in Miami on 12 April
1974). Most of our information is of a general character and
would be known to the police who investigated his death. What
is sensitive and has never been disclosed is that in October 1970,
in respor.se to a request from President Nixon, Director Richard
Helms directed the DDP to establish a covert funding channel to
provide financial support to the Cuban exile group headed by
Torriente. The objective was to provide funds to assist
this group in carrying out raids in Cuba. A total of $250,000
was authorized in FY 1971 and 1972 for this purpose, with a
total of $226,000 actually being expended.
Question 1 viii seeks the identity and whereabouts of
AM/LASH. This man was a contact of CIA over a five-year period,
support for his activities being terminated in 1965 for security
reasons. The intention was to use him to develop a coup against
the Castro regime; the Church Committee describes the Agency's
relationship with the man in the Interim Report on Alleged
Assassination Plots Involving Foreign Leaders. He was arrested
in Cuba in 1966 and served ten years of a 30-year term. He

is reportedly now out of prison on parole. Furnishing his
true identity to the Dade County police would jeopardize
his safety, risking publication and a clear connection
between his cryptonym (which appears in Senate reports) and :
his true identity. Not only does the man's incarceration and his
present parole status in Cuba make it unlikely that he was in-
volved in anything of interest to the Dade County police, but
he provides a classic example of an individual whose identity
and association with the Agency should be protected.
A final and perhaps more subtle problem arises when, as here,
the Agency is asked if it has any information about "A," "B," and "C." We
may have no information on "A" and unclassified information on "B," but
"C" may be an agent whose relationship with the Agency should be kept
secret. If the Agency states in its response, we have no information on
"A," we know the following about "B" but cannot comment on "C," we have,
in effect, established a pattern of response which would reveal the very
information we wished to protect, hence, we are sometimes required to
respond with "no comment" to questions about "A," "B" and "C."

Questions from Dade County Detectives
1. They would like to know whatever the Agency knows
about certain Cuban nationals, some deceased and some still alive.
They are as follows:
i. Ramon Don Estevez Dominquez (deceased by
shooting) - born 2 May 1936 or 5 Feburary 1936; reportedly
a boat manufacturer who was able to go in and out of Cuba
on a regular basis.
ii. Rolando Masferrer Rojas (deceased by bombing)
born 12 January 1918.
iii. Luciano Nieves (deceased by shooting).
iv. Jose De La Torriente (deceased by shooting).
V.
Jose Quintana born 3 October 1945; reportedly
a nephew by marriage to Roselli.
vi. Jaoquin Antonio Cortizo - born 10 January 1945.
vii. Manola Artimes (the detectives specifically asked
where he is now).
viii. AM/LASH - his identity and present whereabouts.
ix. What are the names of the three Cubans mentioned
in the Roselli testimony? (Two of the three names are in
the 9 December 1970 memorandum discussed in paragraph
four of this memorandum.).
2. They asked for whatever information the Agency could provide on
the following individuals whose citizenship is unknown but who are probably
U.S. citizens:
i. Fred Black - identified as a lobbyist involved with
Bobby Baker; he reportedly lives in the Watergate Apartments
and is a friend of Mahue, Roselli and Shimon. They wanted to
know if he had any connection with the Castro assassination plots.
ii. Edward Morgan a D. C. attorney who has reportedly
represented Black, Shimon, Roselli and Mahue.
iii. Joseph Shimon identified in the Senate Select Committee
Report on Alleged Assassination Plots at page 81 as "a friend of
Roselli and Giancana." They wanted to know if he had any CIA
relationship.
SECRET/SENSITIVE
14-00000
3. They asked a number of general questions which are as
follows:
i. Who is the Cuban who provided the speedboat
mentioned in the Senate Select Committee Report?
ii. Who is "B-1" and what is the name of the anti-
Castro group both of which are mentioned on page 89 of
the Report?
iii. Did Harvey actually pay Roselli $2,700 to defray
the Cuban expenses as mentioned on page 84 of the Report?
iv. Why was Roselli approached instead of Giancana
or someone else?
v. Did the Agency do a background check on Roselli
or Giancana and, if so, could they have access to it?
vi. Why was all contact with Roselli stopped in 1965?
vii. Would it be possible for them to talk to the man
or men who served as Chief of Station in Miami during
1960 to 1965?
viii. Could they talk to the current Chief of Station
in Miami?
ix. Would it be possible for the detectives to talk
to James P. O'Connell, a retired senior Office of Security
employee?
x. Does CIA have any evidence that the Cuban Intelligence
Service may have been involved in Roselli's death or that
Cuban agents were in the Miami area at the time of his
death?

forum or by a newsman you could reasonably reply to the effect:
CIA has and will continue to cooperate with
Justice Department and Congressional investiga-
tions concerning improper activity conducted by
any foreign country in the United States.
(The new DCI should announce) that the Agency
will not tolerate operational activity by the
"friendlies" in the US: and that it will break off
liaison and stop all other forms of aid to secret
services which repress human rights.
This second part of the first question is more troublesome
to answer since it involves cmplex issues such as (a) what na-
tional intelligence, national security and diplomatic equities
hang in the balance, (b) how does one define repression of
human rights and (c) what constitutes proof of human rights
abuse as opposed to unsubstantiated allegations, and which
intelligence community activities should be sacrificed if some
gesture of disapprobation must be made. If pressed by newsmen,
an answer along the following lines might be appropriate:
The United States Government can and should
express itself in favor of human rights in a
variety of ways. Conversely, it can in many ways
show disapproval of countries which violate human
rights. Should national interest and policy reasons
require curtailment of certain foreign liaison acti-
vities conducted by any member of the U.S. Intel-
ligence Community, I would recommend such action.
2. The new DCI should announce that while the
Agency has no legitimate law enforcement role in the
US, it will make available to appropriate police
agencies all intelligence it possesses on Cuban ter-
rorism, which has been particularly murderous lately.
(The CIA last year turned down a request by the Dade
County (Miami) police for the names of Cubans who had
been trained by the CIA in the use of explosives.);
and that the CIA will be committed to stamping out
terrorism and drug-trafficking among its former
employees.

SUGGESTED HANDLING:
(The discussion below was provided by the Office of the
General Counsel)
Pursuant to statutory authority and Executive Order pro-
visions, the Agency is clearly prohibited from engaging in any
law enforcement activity. Furthermore, the Director is obliged
to protect from unauthorized disclosure the identities of his
intelligence sources and the methods by which intelligence is
collected. Accordingly, the Agency, as a matter of policy,
will consider such requests on an ad hoc basis and respond when-
ever possible. When, however, a question exists, the Agency
seeks a ruling from the Attorney General.
The request from Dade County was not for the names of
Cuban terrorists, per se, but rather, the names of those Cubans
who may have been associated with Johnny Roselli during the pe-
riod of the Agency's involvement with him in the early nineteen
sixties. Mr. Roselli, as you will recall, met an unnatural and
untimely demise last year at the hands of an unknown assassin.
The request came to the Agency through the Senate Select Commit-
tee on Intelligence which was particularly interested in
* Acerns the Roselli because of his subpoenaed appearance before it. The
this is stitch.
人、rent agents of the Agency. Because of our obligation to
to protect
sources, the DCI sought the advice and guidance of the Attorney
General in a letter dated 14 October 1976. That letter has not
aul alt yet been answered. While the Agency has then not responded to
mjene
James! any
srice-ul are!
fristention!
names sought by Dade County were, in fact, either former or cur-
the Dade County Police request, it has not, in fact refused the
request, pending Attorney General advice. In addition, it
should be pointed out that the Agency's complete holdings on
the Roselli matter and the assassination attempt on Castro have
been made available to the FBI and the staff members of the
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
Should this question or a variation on the theme arise in
the future, the following response would seem appropriate:
The CIA promptly makes available to the Depart-
ment of Justice or to the FBI directly information
which comes into its possession dealing with the
subject of terrorism. The Agency, and I, personally,
would deplore and regret any incident in which former
CIA employees involve themselves in terrorism, drug-
trafficking, or any other illegal act. However,
3
14-00000
this Agency has no legal control or law enforce-
ment rights over former employees, who come within
the police jurisdictions of their state and com-
munity and, when appropriate, under the jurisdic-
tion of federal law enforcement agencies.
3. The new DCI should announce that the CIA
will no longer make covert use of American uni-
versities or academic activities; that the CIA
will stop secretly employing professors to "spot"
foreign students for recruitment as CIA agents
(and hence, become traitors to their own countries);
that all CIA sponsored research on campus will be
identified as such (even if the results must on
occasion remain secret); and that academic exchange
programs will not be used for cover purposes.
SUGGESTED HANDLING:
This involves sources and methods and could, in some cir-
cumstances, be handled by "no comment". It would certainly seem
unnecessary and not useful to volunteer any statements concern-
ing CIA's relationship with academe. But, should this kind of
question be asked in a responsible forum where a response is un-
avoidable, the substance of a letter from former Director Bush
to the President of Amherst College might be paraphrased and
drawn upon:
"The Agency has several kinds of relation-
ships with scholars and scholarly institutions.
They include negotiated contracts for scientific
research and development, contracts for social
science research on the many matters that affect
foreign policy, paid and unpaid consultations be-
tween scholars and CIA research analysts, contracts
with individuals who have travelled abroad, and
other similar contracts that help us fulfill our
primary responsibility; i.e., to provide the policy
makers of our government with information and as-
sessments of foreign developments.
"We seek the voluntary and witting cooperation
of individuals who can help the foreign policy pro-
cesses of the United States. Those who help are ex-
pressing a freedom of choice. Occasionally such re-
lationships are confidential at our request, but
more often they are discreet at the scholar's

RE: JOHN ROSELLI, aka
AR
LV 10-C advised that on 9/2/64 mail which was being
held for ROSSELLI at the Desert Inn Hotel in Las Vegas had
been picked up. This informant did not actually see
ROSSELLI in Las Vegas.
On the morning of 8/31/64 Special Agents of the
Las Vegas Office observed KATHY HORDEN, ROSSELLI'S current
girl friend, driving a new Buick Riviera bearing Nevada
license plates CF 3019, near the Desert Inn Hotel. She was
thereafter observed to drive to 213 Kendall, where she parked
in front of an apartment.
DMV records, Las Vegas, reflect CF 3019 is registered
to a J. A. BOYD, 3501 Maryland Parkway, for a 1957 MG. It is
to be noted that in Nevada, the license plates go with the
owner rather than the vehicle when the vehicle is sold.
LA 4268-C advised that he observed ROSSELLI at the
Friars Club in Beverly Hills on the afternoon of 9/1/64 and
at about 3:00 p.m., ROSSELLI was playing cards. Later in the
afternoon, ROSSELLI remarked that he was 56 years old and that
old age was creeping up on him. ROSSELLI also remarked that he
"would like to go back to the church" and would "like to make
his peace with his God." Informant and ROSSELLI then talked
about Jews in Italy after ROSSELLI had made some remark
indicating he was anti-semetic in his feelings. During the
conversation, Informant asked ROSSELLI, "Where are you from?"

ROSSELLI answered the question by saying that his parents
are from Rome and did not make any statement relative
to his birthplace.
LA 4268-C was not at the Friars Club on 9/2/64
and therefore does not know if ROSSELLI was there. However,
ROSSELLI was playing cards at the club on the afternoon of
9/3/64..
On 9/3/64 LA 4513-PC advised that he had talked to
ROSSELLI at the Friars Club (on either 9/2 or 3/64) relative
to money owed by Selena Enterprises, Inc. to Arnold's
International Travel Agency. It is recalled that ROSSELLI
has been interested in the activities of Selena Enteprises,
Inc. and has loaned money to the company. One of the members
of the firm, ROBERT ABRAMS, worked for ROSSELLI's firm, Nevada
Concessions, Inc. ROSSELLI told LA 4513-PC that he had previously
paid Selena's account with Arnold's Travel Agency and that he
was not assuming any responsibility for subsequent bills.
ROSSELLI said that he had had an agreement with Selena Enter-
prises for a one third interest in a show "Around the World"
but that this did not materialize. He added that he had loaned
ABRAMS $1,000 last week; that he and ABRAMS had "traded checks"
but ABRAMS' check was no good.
Information has been previously set out that in July
1964, ROSSELLI received a $2,500 check drawn on an account of
MAURICE H. FRIEDMAN at the American City Bank, Los Angeles,
and that the endorsement on the check indicated it was for one
half of finder's fee for Sam Anderman loan.
Examination of FRIEDMAN's account at the American City
Bank revealed that the account was opened on June 16, 1964.
On June 25, 1964 a deposit of $25,000 was made to the account.
This money was the proceeds of a loan obtained from the bank.
Examination of the loan account revealed that the loan was
obtained on June 25, 1964 and that MAURICE H. FRIEDMAN and
LEE RATNER were co-signers of the note. The note is due on
January 25, 1965 and the stated purpose of the loan was "Real
Estate Investment." RATNER furnished his address as Lee County
Land and Title Company, 800 71st, Miami, Florida. It is noted

Title: ASSASSINATION MATERIAL DISCLOSURE ACT
Synopsis: JFK Task Force returning file(s) to Pittsburgh.
Details: Enclosed for Pittsburgh are the following file(s):
PG 175-0-56
PG 62-3626
The originals removed from these files and replaced
with duplicate copies of the original were accessioned to the
National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) pursuant to
the JFK Records Collection Act of 1992. Provision of the JFK Act
allowed for certain information to be postponed from public
release until the year 2017; therefore, the pages have NOT
necessarily been released for public review in their entirety.
Under the JFK Act, originals to all material deemed
assassination records must be accessioned to NARA regardless of
whether the material is open in full or released with information
postponed. Therefore, any documents or pages from FBI files
accessioned to NARA pursuant to the JFK Act are no longer
considered the possession of the FBI. The duplicate pages have
been inserted strictly for research purposes.
The copies contained within the previously mentioned
file(s) do not necessarily show the most up-to-date
classification.

Dataset Creation
Curation Rationale
The JFK assassination has been an unassailable mystery even after decades of investigations by premier agencies, the media and ordinary people. A large-scale analysis of the assassination records may offer new clues, and help substantiate or refute some of the theories. There are about six millions files related to the event that are being made public through archives.org over time.
This HF dataset makes it easier for anyone interested in performing such an analysis to access the text data, build search indexes and use AI tools to navigate and summarize the huge volume of information. Hopefully, writers, journalists, computational linguists and data scientists can try their hands on the breadth and variety of this data.
