SUBJECT: Conversation with David W. BELIN, 1 April 1975

Q:

A:

Q:

A:

un working lover of repring a i trang the pete on sere?

It was a multiple leveled thing

"(a) from the Commission and AWD

personally via McCone to Dick Helms" (b) from Helms to the two or

three components primarily concerned fsE, then SB, Dave Murphy;

LA, then WH; and Cbi In practice, the substantive SB input worked

Ip by one of its

research components headed by Lee Wigren-Minsk

photo for example, et alO-passéd via CI. CI had own defector input.

In addition, on sensitive matters of concern to the investigation,

Dick Helms and Murphy also dealt directly with the Commission. PROf:

Did you hear:

?? [two crypts, one sounded by "Jackenet" ?].

I had not.

Belin recalled that Castro had made a speech in which

he had charged assassination intent by emigres and had promised

retribution in kind if there was official support.

Had any thought been given to the assumption that an anti-Castro

assassination plot might have been underway, and fact it was

known

to Helms and to Castro? [Mr.

Belin said he now knew that Helms

was, in fact, aware of something underwas regarding Castro.

had

He

no evidence to show that I RGR had been informed about it.

Would that change any of the thinking re

Oswald's Mexican trip and

contacts?

Yes, I said, though I_intended to

give more potential importance

to Oswald's KGB. contacts, and related that I and athers--though

recognizing the wisdom of the Warren Commission's handling--had

felt there had been fewere the sowet aspect that should have

been pursued:

Fact that his two Sovtet consular contacts in Mexico City

had been identified as KGb and at least one (both ?) had

been

traced organizattoratty to the 13th Department (assassinations).

Q:

b. Our defector information strongly insists that all

Western militars derectors:

POke Oswald-were screened by the

13th Department.

c. Thinness of file turned over by Soviets in view of b.

I acknowledged in retraspect that cuban hypathesis was worth recon-

sidering,

though it would appear that period of solid inter-service

(KGB-UGT) relations began later, (i.e. after 1967-68, Venceremos, etc.).

Why did Oswald's Ties include a denial to Dallas police that he had

made the Mexican trip unless there was something important to hide

about it? All his other lies concerned key factual elements of his

cover story.

why also did Marina deny she knew anything about the

Mexican trip in her first story do the FBI-which she later rectified

before the Warren Commission? Mr. Belin noted that he had left the

hypothesis of Castro/Cuban involvement opem in his book.

He added

that it would have been important to have known the facts about the

anti-Castro plot at the time of the Warren Commission investigation.

He felt the least he woubd have doneswould have been to have

on the polygraphing

oR Marina @swald regarding her knowledge of

Oswald's Mexican trip.

1. This memorandum fa for information and for action.

The proposed lines of action are Indicated in paragraph 4.

2. AMMUG/ 1p Fhe Cuban Intelligence Service defector,

has produced information of Interest to the President's

Commission on the Vissassinatioh of President Kennedy. CI

Staff learned of AMMUG N

on'30 April. A questionnaire was

submitted by the Staff on I May(Attachment A). Mr. Swenson,

who is handling the AMMUG/1 debriefing, provided a reply on

5 May (Attachment 3) It was clear from Mr. Swenson's

summary that AMMUG/1 had information bearing on the

OSWALD relationship with the Cuban Embassy and Cuban

intelligence personnel in Mexico City, albiet his knowledge

was not that of a direct participant in matters affecting

OSWALD. A follow-up questionnaire was submitted to

AMMUG/1 on 6 May (Attachment C) MI. Swenson's reply

was dated 8 May (Attachment D). Attention is directed

particularly to the content of paragraph two.of Attachment Do

We have the problem of reconciling the operational

exploitation of AMMUG/1 and satisfying the responsibilities

we have undertaken with Mr. Rankin.' AMMUG/l is such an

operational gold mine that Mr. Swenson wants, at a maximum,

two months to work fully. It is palpable, however, that we

must furnish to the Commissionthe substance of AMMUG/1's

information on OSWALD before that. On the previous record of

our association with the Cormission, particularly with Mr. Rankin,

it seems possible for the Agency to workout an arrangement with

Mr. Rankin personally that would take care of their needs and ours

aiter a frank discussion as the equities.

4. It is recommended that the DDP in person or via a

designee, preferably the former, discuss the AMMUG/1

situation on a very restricted basis with Mr. Rankin at his

earliest convenience either at the Agency or at the Commission

headquarters

Until this takes place, it is not desirable to put

anything in writing.

Chief, Counter Intelligence Stati

Attention: Mr. Roca

Debrieting of AMMUG-I

The Oswald Case

Blind Memorandum dated 05 May 1964

1. Reference is made to a telephone conversation yesterday

with Chief, CI Staff concerning this matter.

2 Because I am not aware of the information already

available to the Commission investigating the Cswald Case or

furnished by the Agency, my debriefing of the Source has been

based on the questions prepared by the CI Stalf and on what the

Source answers have suggested. I shall be glad to pursue any

other topics suggested by

CI Staff,

3. The Following information in addition to that in the

reference might be of interest:

a Luisa CALDERON, since she returned to Cuba,

has been paid a regular salary by the DGI even though she has

not performed any services. Her home is in the Vedado section

where the rents are high.

b. Source has known CALDERON for several years.

: Before going to Mexico, she worked in the Ministry of Exterior

Commerce in the department which was known as the #Empresa

Transimport". Her title was Secretary General of the Communist

Youth in the department named in the previous sentence.

Luisa CALDERON as transferred directly from her

position in the Ministry of Extertor Commerce to a post in México,

Blird Memorandum dated 07 May 1964

Conversations between CI Staff and

1. When the Oswald Case first was discussed with the Source the

specific questions prepared by CI Staff were posed. The answers

given by the Source were reported in Reference A.

That memorandum

which I dictated to a CI Staff stenographer appears accurate except for

sentence #9 which should have said that the only possible "fabrication"

known by Source was the specific denial by Fidel CASTRO, on a

television program; of any Cuban knowledge of Oswald.

2. On 07 and 08 May 1964 I furtber discussed the Oswald Case •

with the Source in order to clarify exactly what he knew and what

he had heard. In the light of the explanation given by him, I believe

that a clearer understanding of what he knows can be reached if I

record his knowledge without using the question and answer format.

Accordingly, in the following paragraphs I shall report all the

information given by the Source paraphrasing his explanations and

comments.

" I have no personal knowledge of Lee Harvey OSWALD or his

activities and I do not know that OSWALD was an agent of the

Direccion General de Inteligencia (DGI) or any other directorate

or department of the Caban Government.

I first heard of OSWALD after the assassination of President

Kennedy when news media carried the name of OSWALD.

Personnel in the Dot first commented about the case, so far as

I can recall, one day after lunch when a group of officers, of

whom I was one, were chatting.

The officers present were about

ten including Roberto SANTIESTEBAN, Norberto HERNANDEZ

de Curbelo, Andres ARMONA, Pedro FARINAS Diaz and

Manuel VEGA Perez.

Manuel VEGA Perez previously had

been assigned to Mexico in thé Cuban Consulate where he

was the principal intelligence officer of the DGI. VEGA

the or the th on co act on to the Ca ap Coatiate

during the time that VECA, w as in Mexico. I gathered,

although i do not know that VEGA made any specific

statement to this effect, that VEGA personally had seen

OSWALD. I well could have reached this conclusion

because normally VEGA and his assistant in Mexico for

the DGI, Rogello RODRIGUEZ Lopez, would see persons

applying for a visa to go to Cuba. This is because DGI

officers are charged with expediting the granting of visas

of agents of the DG. Such agentsion appearing at the

Consulate use a special phrase to indicate their relationship

with the DGi. (/ do not know the particular phrase used

in every case.. I do know that agents from El Saivador in

requesting visas alwayer made mention of the name "Vauricio" )

The DGI officers at Consulate Interview visa applicants to

find out if they are agents. If the visa applicant does not use

one of the inchcared, phrases, the Doi officers, instead of

granting the vian immediately, tell the applicant to return in

, few days. The officer fhen notifies Habana and request

authority for the visa.

I cannot recall i VEGA even made th

statement that he had requested permission to issue a visa to

OSWALD, but I feel sure that he would have done so because

VEGA had said that OSWALD had returned several times and

this would be the usual procedure.

I believe that Rogelio RODRIGUEZ Lopez also would have

Seen OSWALD because he worked with VEGA and also would

have screened visa applicanta.

I thought that Luisa CALDERON might have had contact with

OSWALD because I learned about 17 March 1964, shortly before

I made a trip to Mexico. that she had been involved with an

American in Mexico. The information to which I refer was told

to me by a Dal case oficer named Norberto FERNANDEZ de

Curbelo. (I remember the conversation with HERNANDEZ

because he gave me $40. 00 to buy some shoes and

other items during my trip to Mexico.) I had

commented to HERNANDEZ that it seemed strange

that Luisa CALDERON was receiving a salary from

the DGI although she apparently did not do any work

for the Service. CHERNANDEZ told me that hers was

a peculiar case and that he himself believed that she

had been recruited in Mexico by the Central Intelligence

Agency although marug PintiRe, the head of the Dol,

did not agree. As Krecall, HERNANDEZ had investigated

Luisa CALDERON. This was because, during the time

she was in Mexico, the DGI had intercepted a letter to

her by an American who signed his name as OWER (phonetic)

or something similar. As you know, the pronunciatior

of Anglo-Sazon names is difficult in Spanish so I am not

sure of how the name mentioned by HERNANDEZ should be

spelled. It could have been "Howard" or something different.

As I understood the matter, the letter from the American

was a love letter but Indicated that there was a clandestine-

professional relationship between the writer and Luisa

CALDERON. Falsgunderstood.from HERNANDEZ that

after the interception ofthe letter she had been followed

and seen in the companior an American. I do not know if

this could have been OSWALD. I, myself, considered the

case of Luisa CALDERON unusual because I had known her

before she went to Mexico when she worked in the Ministry

of Exterior Commerce in the Empresa Transimport Department

where she was Secretary General of Communist Youth. She

was transferred directly from that position to a post in Mexico

which seemed strange.

The only other person about whom you asked me in connection

with this, whom 1 recall, is Sylvia EURAN and I know very

little about her.

What happened was that I was in the Cuban

Embassy in Mexico on 23 March 1964 about 1230 in the afternoon

preparing to return to habana the same day. I was talking to

some other Cubans including Rogelio RODRIGUEZ Lopez and

nu BUENAVENTURA of the Cuban Embassy; a courier named

"Enio", a courier named. "Tato", and one other Cuban whom I

cannot recall.

we saw a pretty girl standing at the end of

the reception roomg and someone asked who she was, and one

I recall that, after the news of the assassination of

President Kennedy reached the DG! orders were issued

for all offigs of the DCi, at Headquarfers and in the field,

to sort and package all documents according to whether

they were "muy ferreto" (vesy secret),

"gecreto" (secret),

or "Importante" (important). The material, once packaged,

was to be held pending further instructiong. All travel by

DGI officers and all DGI pouches were suspended temporarily.

In addition,

I recall that DCI Headquarters personnel were

instructed elther to remain in the DGI Headquarters offices

or to keep the DGI aware of their whereabouts so that they

could be reached immediately. I do not know the reason for

these measures but I believe it logical that they were issued

because of the possibility that the United State might take

some type of action against Cuba and the DGI offices. As

nearly as I can recall, we were able to unpackage DGI files

and use them normally about the 3rdof December 1963."*

3. In brief, the Source does not claim to have any significant

information concerning the assassination of President Kennedy or

about the activities of OSWALD NEthe paraphrased comments of

the Source are considered to fee further charification, I suggest that

Mr. Rocca, who is most familiar with the details of the OSWALD

Case, talk to the Source. This can bevarranged at any time. Mean-

while, I shall have a question asketh a forthcoming LCFLUTTER to

determine whether or not the Source seems to have concealed any

information on this matter.

Subject - General: Debriefing of Cuban Source

Specific:

OSWAtCase

The source does not have direg+ knowledge of Lee Harvey OSWALD

or his activities but was able to provide items of interest based on

Cuban intelligence officers assigned to the Direccion General De

Inteligencia.

The information appearing below was furnished by

the source and is keyed to questions submitted.

Prior to October 1963, OSWALD, visited the Cuban Embassy

in Mexico City on two or three, occasions. Before, during and after

these visits, OSWALD was in contact with the Direccion General De

Inteligencia (DG]), specifically with Luisa CALDERON, Manuel

VEGA Perez and Rogelio RODRIGUEZ Dópez.

VEGA whole Cuban inteluigence pseudonym is MARCOS

is the current Cuban IS chief i-Mexico.

He recently has had a

tour of duty in Habana, prigr to which he held the same post as

now as Cuban IS chief in Mexico.

RODRIGUEZ is a Cuban IS staff officer in Mexico. He has

three Cuban intelligence pseudonyms, Eduardo, Casimiro and Jose

Antonio.

121 NAAL: 111:

The precise relationship of Luisa CALDERON to the DGI is

not clear. She spent about six months in Mexico from which she

returned to Cuba early in 1964.

2. The source does not know whether or not the Cuban Services

used OSWALD in any agent capacity of other manner.

3.

A. When news of the assassination of President Kennedy

reached the DGI, it caused much comment concerning the fact

OSWALD had been in the Guban Embassy in Mexico. In addition,

orders were issued for all headquarters and field officers of the

were "Muy secreto" (very secret), "secreto" (secret), and

"importante" (important). The material once packaged was to be

held pending further instructions.

In addition, all travel by DGI

officers and all DI pouchagiwere suspended temporarily.

B. When the news that

OSWALD was the assassin reached

the DGI, there was no immediate comment but, when Fidel CASTRO

spoke on television to deny Cuban involvement,

there was considerable

comment concerning OSWALD's visit to the Cuban Embassy in Mexico.

At this time VEGA, who has been mentioned previously, was in Cuba

and commented to a group of DGI staff officers that OSWALD had come

to the Cuban Embassy in Mexico to request a visa but had been refused.

VEGA did not give any details and the subject was not pursued.

4. It is not known whether information on OSWALD's visit to

the Cuban Consulate in Mexico in September 1963 was relayed to any

Cuban service.

5. It is not known if the Cuban intelligence services had contact

with the New Orleans! Fair Play fox Cuba Committee.

6. The only Molina whois recalled ig "The Hook", the Cuban who

was convicted in New York City for the murder of a young girl during

a clash between two Cuban groups. The DGI staff officer who had been

in the United Nations in New York, SANTIESTABAN traveled to Cuba

with "The Hook" and with another Cuban named ORIHUELA and upon

arrival in Cuba tried to obtain employment for both individuals. The

names Pedro Charles and Peter have no known significance.

7. The reaction of Soviet officials in contact with the Cuban intelli -

gence services is not known.

8. Nothing is known about Soviet proposals following the news of

President Kennedy's assassination.

9. The only fabrication known is the special matter by Fidel

CASTRO previously mentioned.

10. Nothing is known about Jack RUBENSTEIN aka Jack RUBY •

11. The name Gilberto LOPEZ is not familiar but, if he visited

DGI headquarters, a photograph of him possibly could be identified.

12. OSWALD's photo was seen in the newspapers but nothing is

known about him other than what appeared in the press. u

what documents there are to support the answers to the fore-

going questions, and what response, if any. was received from

the Warren Commission.

If the Cormission was not told about

this, why was it not told and who made the decision not to

deliver such information to the Warren Commission?

There is evidence that Castro, prior to November 22, 1963,

knew about the existence/of such plans and the possible

volvement of the U.S. Government.

Did the CIA at any time prior

o the completion of the Warren Commission investigation have

any documents or other information indicating that Castro may

have krom about such plans?

If the answer is yes, would you

please füfhish us with copies of all such documents and details

of any such information.

MEMORANDUMSFOR: Mr Rocca

"Internal Mame Regarding Agaucy's Pesition in

with

banner

Dialing

The DDP called me this afternoon, 12 May, to state

that the Directo» has received a telephone call from RANKIN

regarding the Commission's desire to interview him at 1030 AM,

Thursday. MI. HOOVER is scheduled to appear at 9:00 on that

morning.

2.

The DDP wishes to have from you a short but

comprehensive memorandum which highlights the basic issues or

positions entered into by the Agency in its dealings with the

Commission.

For example, RANKIN indicated that the Commission

would wish to hear the Dire ctor's views as to how improvements

might be made in protecting the President's life.

Further, they

will probably ask questions regarding the possibilities that a con-

spiracy existed. Such general questioning certainly necessitates

that the DCI be made aware of the positions taken during previous

interviews. I raised with Mr. HELMS the nature of the recent

information which you are processing which originated with the

= sensitive WH source.

I informed him that in your view this would

raise a number of new factors with the Commission, that it should

not go to the Commission prior to the Director's appearance unless

we have first had some preliminary reaction or made sure that the

Director is fully aware of its implications since it could well serve

as the basis for detailed questioning.

The DDP stated that he would

review this carefully and made a decision as to the question of timing.

3. Given the schedule, you will appreciate that the DDP

will need a paper covering the above points as soon as possible.

Summary. Outline

This brief is concerned with five topics which, it is

anticipated, will arise in the course of the Director's appear-

ance before the PE

endent's Commisgion. These are:

2. Formal and requalified negation by the DaI

of any contact or association, direct or indirect,

between the Central Intelligence Agency and Lee

Harvey Oswald. This should be accompanied by

the tabling of an affidavit signed by the Director

and notarized. (TAB A)

b. A formal assurance by the Director that all

information in the possession of the Agency regarding

Oswald's activities and associations outside of the

United States has been made available to the

Commission through its staff, with which there has

been close and frequent contacts since the inception

of the Commission's activities. (TAB B)

activity. It is suggested that the DCI take the position

that at this time there is no conclusive evidence of

conspiratorial sponsorship of Oswald; that all Agency

information bearing on this problem has been furnished

to the Commission for evaluation and consideration in the

framework of its total knowledge of the facts. The Agency,

at the present time, is lacking any knowledge of recent

information or documentation furnished by the Soviet

Government to the Commission with respect to Oswald's

activity in the Soviet Union. (TAB C)

d. The DCI's suggestions for improving policy and

organization with respect to the personal security of

the President. Certain steps relating strictly to the

Agency's jurisdiction have already been suggested by

memorandum. It is proposed that the Director now

make specific suggestions involving legislation which

would treat information bearing on the personal security

of the President and, advisedly, other Federal officials

directly related to national security affairs in a manner

similar to what currently exists by statute for special

relationship to the Cuban Intelligence Service.

Substantive information of grave concern. to the

security of sources and methods have been developed

on both of these topics. The information and, in certain

instances, knowledge with respect to acquisition has

been made available on a highly restricted basis to

Mr. Rankin and to certain elements of his staff. It is

recommended that the DCI not respond on the record

to queries on these topics. He should suggest that all

such "technical questions" be worked out in detail through the

channels and procedures that have functioned very well

- - we believe -- between the Commission and particular

CIA components. (TAB E)

Formal Disclaimer of any Relationship with lee Harvey Oswald

There have been gumore and allegations which began.

immediately after the assassitation which branded Oswald as a

U.S. Government agent. In many instances, CIA has been

named as his sponsor. The authorship, geographical dispersion

throughout the world, the identity of themes and the timing lend

strong support to the conclusion that these charges are elements

of a world-wide, Sortet-

sponsored propaganda and misinformation

program.

As DCI, MI. McCone welcomes this appearance before

the Commission to make a categorical and unqualified denial of

these unprincipled distortions of the historical and personal

responsibilities for what was a dastardly and heinous act. In

witness of this, the DCI submits to the Commission an affidavit

which formalizes this statement. The affidavit is attached.

It is recommended that the DCI state concurrently with this

action that he desires to draw the Commission's attention to the

fact that the irresponsible charges that have been made, sponsored

methods and the puxposes of the broader campaign against

up momentum over the past six years. We have traced the

sponsorship of that campaign directly to individuals and com-

ponents within the Soviet police state apparatus.

Their un-

scrupulous treatment of the Oswald case was neither new as a

method nor a surprise as an occurrence.

If the DCI is challenged by anyone on the Commission

about the substance or implication of his affidavit, it is recom-

mended that response be along the following lines:

CIA is a democratic institution. The DCI bas

incorporated in his affidavit the results of detailed

and painstaking examination.

It is recommended that the DCI handle any

questions

from the Commissión with respect to the apparently favorable

treatment afforded: Oawald fathe USSR, the withdrawal of his

wife, his possible contact there with Soviet State Security (the

KGB), and related questions which would tend to establish

Oswald's associational link with Soviet intelligence as

"techaical questions" and, therefore, beyond the scope of

present testimony. It's suggested that he rest on the fact that

the Commission has taken up these points item-by-iter with

the technical levels of the Agency and that the ultimate findings

and evaluation can only be determined by the Commission.

Suggestions for Improving Policy and Organization Regarding

Presidential Security

MI. Rankin raise

this, question dire ctly by letter. In

its response, the Agency confined itself to elements relating

to its statutory mission. Specifically, it was suggested that:

a. The Secret Service, or Treasury, record

with the Office of Central Reference a formal require -

ment for information relating to Presidential security.

b. It was suggested that, if the Secret Service

intended to expand its

Agrati gence coverage of possible

threats to the President's security, our experience

showed that it would need a specialized organizational

component to handle that task within the Secret Service

itself.

c. The CIA reply also noted that the Agency was

in direct touch with the Secret Service regarding the

possible utilization by that agency of our experience in

machine data processing. On the public record, it is

suggested that the DCI not repeat this detail.

In his presentation to the Commission after referring

to these earlier suggestions; the DCI should state that he desires

to take the opportunity

go otfer a fauggestion which he has not

tabled heretofore.

The Commission's major problem has been the assessment

of personal motive and the relationship of an individual act to

possible conspiratorial guidance. Because conspiracy is the

core of the problem, the DCI should point out the possibility of

legislative action which might be an assistance in preventing

recurrence of the national calamity it is investigating. There

is an analogy at close hand between the problem of developing in

advance information relating to Presidential security and the

problem faced by the country a few years ago regarding the

clandestine introduction or manufacture in the U.S. of special

nuclear material or atomic weapons. The remedy devised at that

time was embodied in the Atomic Weapons Reward Act of 15 July 1955

(29 Stat 365, PL. 165, 84th Congress). In essence, the Act estab-

lished a substantial reward ($500, 000) for information bearing on

the Act provided by any person, and in certain instances privileged

treatment for such persons - for example, asylum if they were

created to adminter the purposes of the Acto

1) The DCT should supengthat the Commission considez a

recommendation for original legislative action designed to

induce individuals to furnish information bearing on Presidential

security by offering a substantial reward and preferential treatment.

The DCI should assure the Commission that he is convinced that

the substantial award, the special treatment, and the publicity

which would attend the implementing legislation in this matter

could represent a significant inducement even to staff officers

and personnel of secret associations and state security organs

abroad whose functions include assassination and sabotage. It

is these individuals who would be privy to plans of executive action.

The reward would constitute additional inducement for such

individuals to take the risk of making important disclosures.

The suggestion does not reston tão caterial eloments o

charged with the assassination and sabotage functions have repeatedly

There are specifio cases in the past ten years which document

this assertion. Trusted periginel charged with assassination

• missions have abandoned the mission even without the assurance

or the inducement which the DCI is here proposing.

In making this suggestion, the DCI may go one step further

in advising the Commission to suggest that the Commission

examine the advisability of legislation making it a Federal offense

to conspire and to kill the Chief Executive. 3) The DCI could also

indicate that the Commission might desire to suggest that any

legislation along these lines should be enlarged to include con-

spiracy to kill any Federal official in the President's personal

circle of official associates directly concerned with national

security affairs. (The Agency's Legal Counsel states that

draft bills have been considered on the Hill.).

Mexican and Cuban Phases of Oswald's

Activity

Extensive information haa been made available to the

Commiesion by CIA on the working level regarding Oswald's

activity in Mexico City in September and October 1963. The

Commission Staff has been in detailed communication and

conversation with the Agency working levels both in head-

quarters and in Mexico City. Within the past week,

significant information has been developed by CIA regarding

the relationship with Oswald of certain Cuban intelligence

personnel in Mexico City and the reaction in Havana within

the Cuban Intelligence Service to the news of the assassination

of President Kennedy The Commission Staff is in the course

of being briefed on the Cuban aspect.

It is suggested that the DCI handle any question on the

Mexican and Cuban phases of Oswald's activity as "technical

questions" which members of the Commission can develop

from or through their own staff with-the appropriate component

of the Agency. This would he entirely consistent with the DCI's

overall assurance that he had ingencied hid personnel to place

their information completely at the Commission's disposition.

SUBJECT : Review of Selected Items in the

Lee Harvey OSWALD File-Regarding Allega-

tions of CASTRO Cuban Inyolvement in the

John F. KENNEDY -Assassipation

REFERENCE: Letter by David W. Belin to

Mr.

E. Henty Knoche, 15 April 1975,

paragraph 3

(Regarding Public Statement

by CASTRO,

Y, attached

BACKGROUND

I. On Saturday evening, 7 September 1963,

Fidel CASTRO appeared at

a Brazilian Embassy reception in

Havana; even more unusual, CASTRO submitted to

an informal

interview by the Associated Press correspondent,

Daniel HARKER.

2. HARKER's interview reached New York on Sunday,

8 September, and was in print throughout the country on

Monday, 9 September. There can be no question from the

facts surrounding the CASTRO appearance, which had not been

expected, and his agreement to the interview, that this

event represented a more-than-ordinary attempt to get a

message on the record in the United States®

3. CASTRO's statements to HARKER covered a range of

topics but dealt principally with American political

leadership, in particular Président KENNEDY, whom he ex-

coriated in extraordinar

provocative fashion

(" ... KENNEDY is a cretir

= ... the BATISTA of his

times... the most opportunistic American President of

all time ...").

4. The interview also contained an uncomplimentary

reference to Senator GOLDWATER and Cuban delay in signing

the limited nuclear test ban. There were differences in

the replay by United States newspapers like the

New York Times and Washington papers, with a result that

CASTRO's "message" was significantly modulated.

5. In New Orleans, where Lee Harvey OSWALD resided

until the middle of September 1963, the HARKER story

appeared in the principal morning paper. the Times-Picayune,

on Monday, 9 September, page 7, under a three-column head-

line: "CASTRO Blasts Raids on Cuba.

Says U.S. Leaders

Imperiled by Aid to Rebels." The story followed under the

HARKER by-line:

"Havana (AP) - Prime Minister

Fidel Castro said Saturday night: 'U.S.

leaders would be in danger if they helped

in any attempt to do away with leaders of

Cuba.'

"Bitterly denouncing what he called

recent U.S. prompted raids on Cuban terri-

tory, Castro said: weare prepared to

fight them and answer in kind. U.S. leaders

should think

siabat if they are aiding terror-

ist plans to eliminate Cuban leaders, they

themselves will not be safe.'

... World affairs ... seemed to be

entering

a more peaceful climate a few days

ago, but now this trend has changed with

attacks.

""The U.S. is always ready to negotiate

and make promises which later it will not honor.

This has happened to promises made during the

October crisis. They have been broken as can

be seen with new attacks.

"'But I warn this is leading to a very

dangerous situation that could lead to a worse

crisis than October"s ..."

6. The New York Times, in its coverage on 9 September,

used a UPI wire service report which omitted any reference

to the warning and threat which gave the interview its real

significance. The Washington Post did an abbreviated re-

write (9 September, page A-7) which, similarly, omitted

any reference to the main thrust of CASTRO's remarks.

The Evening Star of Washüngton, D. C., printed the HARKER

story nearly in its entirety in the second section of the

paper (9 September 1961, page B-4) and reworded the content

of the HARKER interview, placing the emphasis on the po-

litical

asp

- in particular, highlighting the GOLDWATER

elements and burying CASTRO's warning to the United States

leadership in the middle of the piece.

7. There is no evidence in the files on the KENNEDY

assassination).that this CASTRO interview was considered in

following up leads or in dealings with the Warren Commission

and its staff although Mexico Station specifically directed

Headguarters attention to the AP story very shortly after

the Dallas killing. More important, the interview appears

to have been forgotten in the contemporary political consid

eration of relations with CASTRO's Cuba.

There is no evidence

in the Agency records, either, that the Warren Commission

staff itself pursued the implication of the CASIRO interview

in dealing with the conspiracy hypothesis. There is no

evidence in the files that anything along these lines was

stated by any other Cuban leader before the assassination.

8. The purpose of this review, undertaken at Mr. Belin's

reguest, is to reconsider Lee Harvey OSWALD's activity on the

assumption that as an avid newspaper reader - which we know

from testimony of Marina OSWALD and others - he read the

CASTRO warning and threat as reported above. The results

of the review, admittedly heavily using the 20 - 20 quality

of hindsight, may be stipulated in summary:

a.

There is no increment of credible

evidence, applying this phrase

strictly, of

soviet andfor Cuban political, intelligence

or security service involvement in the as-

sassination to what was developed and con-

sidered by the Warren Commission and Its

staff. The Commission's finding that

Lee Harvey OSWALD was the killer of

President KENNEDY and Officer TIPPIT and did

them in alone and of his own determination

stands.

b. "Credible evidence" that would

upset or significantly modify this judgement

did (and does) not exist in Washington. But

such evidence could exist in Moscow and/or

Havana, whose voluntary inputs to the warren

Commission were minimal in quantity and

quality, designed to cover up any admissions

of knowledge of, or connection with, OSWALD

which might be related directly or indirectly

with the assassination. Therefore, the belief

that there was Soviet and/or Cuban (KGB and Or

DGI) connection with OSWALD wil persist and

OSWALD's landling and stay in the Soviet Union

Dis contacts, in Mexico City.

The

Warren

Comradion report should have left a

wider "window" for this contingency. That,

indeed, was the opinion at the working level,

particularly in the counterintelligence com-

ponent in the CIA in 1964. As was indicated

by Mr. Helms in his testimony before the

Warren Commission, CIA would continue to

regard this aspect of the OSWALD case as

still open.

c. In the absence of additional of new

elements of "credible" evidence,

are

"nuances" in the record that emerge

as note-

worthy, in the light of other conclusions.

These are reviewed and summarized below, item

by-item.

great significance; in the light of the

pathological evolution of OSWALD's passive/

aggressive makeup after his attempt to kill

warning and threat, given to AP corres-

pondent HARKER, irrespective of whether

there was any formal mandate, or even

security service contact with OSWALD:

by the Cubans of the Russians - was an act

of singular irresponsibility and under no

circumstances was excusable as retorsion

for what the Cuban emigres were doing during

the summer of 1963.

of germinal significance to any review of the background of

Lee Harvey OSWALD's feeling toward and relations with

CASTRO's Cuba. DELGADO was probably the closest peer group

member to OSWALD during his specialist training period

at El Toro Marine COrpS Base December 1958 - September 1959.

The Warren Commission Report takes note of this:

OSWALD told DELGADO that he was in

Cuban diplomatic officials in

this country, which DELGADO at first took

to be 'one of his lies, but later

believed. '"2

10. Actually DELGADO's testimony says a lot more of

possible operational significance than is reflected by the

language of the report, and its implications do not appear

to have been run down or developed by investigation. Thus,

the record of the beginning of OSWALD's relationship with

the Cubans starts with a question mark.

.I1. The period was one of transition in U.S. - Cuban

relations after CASTRO's takeover. OSWALD, and DELGADO at

the outset, were CASTRO supporters, OSWALD being particu-

larly keen about how to get to the island. DELGADO testi-

fied:

".... I didn't know what to tell him, so

I told him the best thing. that I know was to

DELGADO'S

testimony has the cast of credibility.

Granting that, it is of basic importance to focus attention

on the male visitor who contacted OSWALD at El Toro Camp

and talked with him for between one and a half to two hours.

The event was unique in DELGADO's recollections, and actually

there is nothing like it - on the record - in everything else

we know about OSWALD's activity in the United States before

or after his return to the United States. The record reflects

no identification of the El Toro contact. DELGADO's presump-

tion is that he was from the Cuban Consulate in Los Angeles.

The file reflects no follow-up or formal dissemination

concluding with the admonition: " ... Just wait and you

INTERCEPTED CONVERSATIONVOF CUBAN EMBASSY

EMPLOYEE,

LUISA CALDERON, AFTERNOON OF 22 NOVEMBER 1963

18.

Mexico City time, about five hours after, the

KENNEDY assassination, a Cuban Embassy employee named

"Iuisa" received a telephone call in Spanish from an uniden

tified male outside.

19. The caller asked her if she had heard the latest

news. "Luisa" jokingly replied: "Yes, of sourse) I knew

it almost before KENNEDY ... Imagine, one, two, three and

now; that makes three [she laughs], what barbarians!

20. Both speakers agreed on the seriousness of the

assassination. "Luisa"

also stated that the party at

Silvia DURAN's had been called off so it would not appear

that they were celebrating the death of KENNEDY, nor would

they have the party, coincide with the burial. Finally she

said she planned ig move that night into the house of a

doctor (a womany friend.

21. Latin hyperbole? Boastful ex post facto suggestion

of foreknowledge? This is the only item in the intercept

coverage of the Cubans and Soviets after the assassination

that contains the suggestion of foreknowledge or expectation.

national, who dealt with OSWALD during his known

visits on 27 and 28 September to the Cuban

installations in connection with a Cuban visa

application for stay and/or transit.

Silvia DURAN is the sole live witness on the

record regarding OSWALD's activity in

Mexico City•

Her testimony, however, in its

entirety was taken and presented, solely, by the

Mexican Governmental authorities. A direct

confrontation with

sider was requested by the

Warren Commission staff but rejected by the

Mexican authorities. It is from Silvia DURAN's

tatement that it was learned that OSWALD

betame engaged in a personal altercation on

27 September with Eusebio AZCUE.

d. Manuel Engenio VEGA Perez,

alias Marcos, and his DGI assistant,

Rogelis RODRIGUEZ Lopez, were positively

identified in February 1964 by two independent

sources as engaged in the active development

and facilitation of the training of Nicaraguan

agents for the purpose of assassinating

General Annstasio SOMOZA. VEGA, it is estab-

lished, was on post in Mexico City during

OSWALD's stay there 27 September - 2 October

1963. He left Mexico City on 3 November 1963

for Havana. It was reliably reported about

VEGA that all individuals going to Cuba, legally

or illegally, had to pass through him first. He

took the biographical data and sent it to Cuba

for name checking, a procedure which normally

took fifteen days. 5

For example, VEGA would have handled the details of the

visa action and facilitation of the trip to Cuba

Mexico City from 28 December 1962 - 21 January 1963 that

23. There-is

no' evidence in the OSWALD case file that

Silvia DURAN was sabjected to a systematic elicitative

intexrogation that would have related her dealings with

OSWARD, KRONg

or confirmed by intercept, with the data held

on the cuban

DGI, its personalities and methods, in

Mexico City. Was it normal for a case like OSWALD's,

considering the fuss he allegedly made with AZCUE, for

the

applications to be handled solely by a local employee and

a lame duck like AZCUE whose slot had been taken by the

DGI chief?

Whatever the answer to these questions, they

were not asked at the time. And there remains the more

fundamental question: accepting the DURAN story on its

face, could it have happened without the knowledge and

participation of the DGI personnel above cited? This

seems unlikely especially because VEGA is later &

ited

a Cuban DEI defector as having stated he was aware OSWArD

made several visits to the Cuban Consulate. It is clear

CASTRO's overseas intelligence and security service could

have more in its files than was surfaced in the DURAN

Fair Play Committee for Cuba, with which OSWALD established

relations from Dallas during the period 19 April -

2 November 1963.

VEGA's travels to Havana during that period: VEGA

departed Mexico City on 6 January for Havana and returned

on 13 February 1963.

24. The defects viewed in hindsight of the Silvia. DURAN

testimony already have been suggested above. (In that

context of criticism it would also be relevant to reconsider

the implications of the two intercepted telephone conversations

on 26 November 1963 between the Cuban President, DORTICOS,

and his Ambassador to Mexico, Joaquim Hernandez ARMAS,

because the thrust of the conversation dealt with the ques

tion whether Silvia DURAN had been

asked about lor been

offered?] money payments by her Mexican interrogators.)

25. As of September 1964 Silvia DURAN gave up her

Cuban Embassy job. In the spring of 1967 Silvia DURAN

was reported by a reliable and sensitive

source to have

cut all relations with Cubans. Her account, in 1967 0f

Mexico city. ALVARADO's story was ultimately broken by the

use of the polygraphs on which ALVARADO showed evidences of

deception, and by bringing ALVARADO's former Nicaraguan

security service contral into the case.

28.

The ALVARADa story is a particularly acute repre-

sentation of the difficulties that beset the evaluation of

observed eff

dence: certain elements of the story persist

despite the impeachment of its major premises. ALVARADO,

whose account did not becone public until the release of

the Warren Report in October 1964, talked consistently of

the presence in the Cuban Consulate transaction of a Negro

with red-dyed hair.

29. Elena GARRO de Paz is a mecurial, articulate and

socially prominent Mexican writer, married, but separated

from a high-ranking Mexican foreign service official. She

is also the cousin of Horacio DURAN, the husband of

Silvia DURAN, cited above. There is a strong personal

antipathy between the two women descending from

Elena GARRO's trenchant anti-Communism,

30. FrOM October 1964 until his retirement in the fall

of 1969, a U.S. Embassy officer, Charles THOMAS, persistently

kept up a stream of reports and memoranda reflecting GARRO's

account of what had actually gone on between OSWALD, the

Cubans and in particular Silvia DURAN in September 1963,

including a repeated reference to a Negro with red-dyed hair.

31. The first reference to the GARRO story was noted in

a Mexico Station Memorandum of Record dated 12 October 1964:

"Elena GARRO [said] that she and her

daughter were invited to a party at the Cuban

Embassy daring the period she now finds out

that Oswats was here in Mexico prior to the

assassination. She was invited by a Mexican

secretary in the Cuban Embassy whose husband

is a cousin of the GARRO family (Horacio DURAN].

At the party she saw three Gringos, not

drinking, not mixing and more or less just

standing around together like three bumps on a

log. They were so obviously out of place that

she asked someone in the Cuban Embassy about

them and was told that they were just passing

through. She claims that ön the way these

three Gringos stood out she took a good look

at them as did her daughter. When the

assassination occurred and OSWALD's picture was

spread into the newspapers, both Elena and

her daughter immediately said that he was one

of the three Gringos. "without a doubt' at the

party."

32. GARRO repeated her story to Mr. Charles William

THOMAS, an Embassy political officer on 10 December 1965:

In September 1963 after her return from abroad, she went

to a paxty, eccompanied by her daughter, at the home of

Ruben DURAN (emphasis addedl. Ruben is one of the two

brothers of Horacio DURAN, who married her cousin. She

met

she was discouraged from talking with him. Other guests

were the Cuban Consul AZCUE, General Clark PLORES,

Silvia DURAN, who she later learned was OSWALD's mistress

Negro man with red hair (emphasis added]. In November 1963

when the identity of the assassin became known, she and

her daughter went to the Cuban Embassy and shouted

"assassins" and other insults at the staff there.?

Shortly

afterward, she and her daughter were visited by a friend,

in certain particular significantly modified her earlier

account. She also acknowledged that she and her daughter

had been daterviewed by embassy officers to whom she claimed

they did not give a'very complete story because the

Embagsy offices did not appear to give much credence

to

anything

they said.

34. It developed that GARRO and daughter had been

interviewed by the legal Attache on 17 and 24 Makember I964.

Her information had been similar to what she claimed in her

account to THOMAS but had not been substa@tiated by anguiries.

The FBI representative therefore considered the matter closed

and reaffirmed his disengagement from the matter to the CIA

Chief of Station on 27 December 1964 and to the Ambassador

on 25 February 1965.

35. The Embassy Palitical Officer, however, persisted in

his interviews and reporting. In a memorandum of conversation,

13 July 1966, GARRO identified the place to which she had been

taken by CALVILLO as the Hotel Vermont.

(This detail checked

and 28 - 30 November 1963. In another, on 7 February 1967,

There the matter rests.

GARRO's chronology of the

events she described as having occurred in the Mexican capital

in September 1963 never coincided with the confirmed data

of OSWALD's presence there.

Her story, however, had two

points. congruant with allegations by others regarding

Negro with the red-dyed hair (this detail could,

however, have been gleaned from the

37. Beginning in March and amplified in

1967, the

American Consul, Benjamin J. RUYLE, in Tampico developed a

contact with a local Mexican journalist,

Oscar CONTRERAS Lartigue, who claired to have encountered

OSWALD with other pro-CASTRO students at the

University of Mexico campus in September 1963.

38. In June 1969 CONTRERAS was interviewed by a CIA

officer:

He studied law at the University of Mexico

for three years,

approximately 1960 - 1964.

Although M.. Angleton thought that the letter should

of the matter than would a more pointed letter based on our

concrete findings.

Mr. Dullos asked CIA Only for the questions

and not for a draft letter.

Mr. Murphy suggested that we ask

only for certain records rather than put specific questions

to the Soviets:

Murphy suggested that thesa night include

Soviet hospital records connected with Ice Oswald's attemptad

suicide, city visa and registration records for Moscoy and

Minsk, factory personnel records Iron Oswald's place of employ

rent, etc. Also Oswald's diary noted that his case had passed

through two cornissions in the USSR; ve might ask for the

records of these commissions as vell.

Mir. Rankin said that the Comission has a waist high

stack of documents and reports received from the FBI and Secret

Service which CIA has not yet received.

These Include Secret

Service Interviews with Marina Oswald, letters fron Lee Oswald

in the USSE and other material. He promised to send this

material to Mr. Helms shortly..

(Note: We will pass appropriate parts of this

material to DEBYABIN for further analy

sis along the lines of his earlier work

on documents already in our possession.)

Mr. Angleton and Mr.

a detailed chronology of Oswald's time in the ussh and to

G. Hi. Angleton reported that he had asked the Commis

sion representatives certain questions pertairing to our use

of defectors in analysing the Oswald papers:

Has the Commission formally requesting us to

have defectors analyse the material?

Mr. Wellins thougat that the answer

to this question is yes.

However,

Mr. Angleton asked for 2 formal

request Iron the Commission to this

effect.

The FBI. has stated that 1ts

reports aze not to be passed to

ALLADLE, which may cause some compli

cations.

Would the Commission be prepared to assume the

burden of responsibility if such a defector should disa

gree with the Commission's opinions of comeup with a

radically different hypothesis or Inde pretation?

The persons present said that the

Comission would.

C.

If a defector who had contributed to the analy-

sis of the documents should be unwilling to appear person-

ally and formally before the Conmission, would the

Commission exercise its subpoena powers against him?

Mr. Rankin thought that if there was

a risk involved for the defector, the

Commission would not do so.

However,

Rankin pronised to get a fornal answer

from the Commission on this point.

Fill the classification we put on our corres

pondence to the Commission be hozored?

They answer was that in prisciple our

classiftcation would be honored.

that ChA' should

Similarly CIa has not

debriefed on their return to the West.

The Commission representatives at the 14 January 1964

meeting estimated that the larren Commission would need from

three to sis nonths to complate its task.

Mr. Bagley raised the question of the desirability

of having DERYABIN participate personally, representing the

FBI as an interpreter perhaps, in a debriefing of Marina.
