NOTE:

This concerns the most recent of bombings which

may be attributed to the anti-Castro Cuban power

led by orlando Bosch in Miami. The "SS Coromoto"ms three

miles at sea when the explosion occurred and seawater would

have flushed through the ballast tanks which were severely

damaged by the force of the explosion. It is highly im-

probable that laboratory examination on the scene would be

productive.

We are instructing San Juan to cover dry-docking

operations which are scheduled for 9/16/68 and Miami to in

tensify other phases of this bombing in order to either

associate it with others or to develop evidence which will

support criminal prosecution.

This was coordinated with the Laboratory Division.
