2023 RELEASE UNDER THE PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 1992

27 January 1965

General Carter:

I have checked with Tom K. on the status of the Menoyo case.

It is being pursued actively by Roberton's staff and Tom K. The Army

has a very peculiar story it has been telling us. Long ago, back in 1963,

they coordinated with us a plan to infiltrate a radio operator to make

contact with groups in Cuba believed to be dissident. They promised

to keep us posted as infiltration developed but never did. They now say

that they had believed the radio operator had infiltrated but had thought

Menoyo remained in the United States.

They say they were as shocked

as we were to find that he had gone into Cuba. This either shows great

ineptitude or (as Tom K. thinks most likely) they are not coming clean

with us. To apply the pressure and to clear the record, Tom has

insisted that ACSI provide a formal report and chronology of this

business and when this is received and analyzed Tom will be in touch

with you as regards actions to take. Obviously the case has a direct

and ominous bearing on the status and future of our own operations.

Also, want to alert you to another case just beginning to

emerge which appears once again to be a case of lack of coordination.

This one involving the Army and a Swiss diplomat first recruited by

the Army in coordination with our Station in Korea sometime back.

The Army however has since worked with the Swiss including poly-

graphing, retargeting, etc. without coordination. The matter is being

investigated.
