MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, Security Analysis Group

FROM

: Jerry G. Brown

SUBJECT

: HEMMING,

Gerald Patrick

OS#429 229

AFIR

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/00 to Chief/

Personnel Security Division/Office of Security.captioned

Ex-US Marine who served in Cuban

, 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

file reflects that he served in the U. S. Marine Corps from

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.

SECHE

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, Calitornia (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

possibly linking HEMMING and his cohorts to OSWALD was

brought to the attention of Mr. John Leader ranc

Mr. Scott

BrecKinridge), Inspector General, on 6 April 1977.

Mr. Leader

advised he would pursue the matter.
