on 10-18-60 at Miami and was destined to the Cuban Embassy,

Washington, D. C. According to INS, Pino was issued a G-1

Nicaragua for meddling in internal affairs of Nicaragua.

On the basis of reports that he was distributing Cuban propaganda;

we obtained State Department clearance to investigate him on

Cuban officials, had prepared a letter to a. Cuban official

requesting five day's leave to marry Berrios and in the letter

be expressed loyalty to Cuba.

to marry Berrios on 11-26-60 and to go to Havana alone on 11-27-60.
