PROENZA'S full name appears to be MARIA TERESA

PROENZA PROENZA.

she is currently said to be in havana, Cuba,

after spending several years. in Santa Clara Province under

near house arrest.

She now appears to have more freedom.

She is the sister of the wife of JORGE LUIS ROJAS MENDOZA,

a Mexican employee of the Cuban Aviation Company in Merico City.

Ber brother ALVARO ESTANISLAO PROENZA PROENZA resides in

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and is the subject of an IS - CUBA

investigacion.

TERESA PROENZA waS the secretary of the Mexican

communist muralist DinGo RIVira prior to the revolution.

. She

became an

employee of the Cuban Enbassy in Mexico City follow

ing the revolution.

She was described by her brother ALVARO

in 1955 as 3 "dedicated communist" and a "slave of the Cuban

conmunist government."

The following information is extracted from the letter

and LeM submitted by Mexico City on 10/5/70 concerning JORGE

LUIS ROJAS MENDOZA and the efforts of his family to arrange

for his sister MARGOT ROJAS MENDOZA to leave Cuba and join the

"CACHITA" PROENZA PROENZA DE ROJAS, complained that Cuba has

become a police state and that Cuban authorities have the

family "all tied up."

ROJAS and his wife told MEY 197 that

a Cuban communist named JUAN MARINE is a Iriend of the family.

On one trip to Cuba, CACHITA ROJAS asked him to look Into the

situation of her sister TERESA PROENZA to see how it could

be straightened out.

MARINE recently visited Mexico "incognito"

and informed the ROJAS that the situation now is extraordinarily

good but that TERESA was once under a death sentence because

she had dealt with LEE HARVEY OSWALD while assigned to the

Cuban Embassy prior to the assassination of JOHN F. KENNEDY.

Her friends interceded for her and her life was spared. ROJAS

told MEX 197 that MARINE warned them not to tell the Cuban

Embassy in lexico City that he had spoken to them about this

matter.

The source stated that JORGE ROJAS and his wife

do not know how to cope with the present situation.

They

fear going to Cuba and they are speaking out against the Cuban

revolution in a most forthright manner.

The bitterness dis-

played by ROJAS wife far exceeds any that the source

can recall in the past.

The source stated that some years ago, as best he

could recall, he heard JUAnA LUISA tRounce, a sister of CACaltA

who died some years ago, telling a similar story of how TERESA

PROSNIZA was somehow involved with LEE HARVEY OSWALD at the

Cuban Embassy.

At the time TERESA was employed at the embassy,

she lived with JUANA LUISA and another sister.

Within the

family it has always been said that JUANA LUISA worried herself

to death after TERESA was ordered to Cuba.

The Mexico City Office has conducted a review of

references to TERESA PROENZA especially those dealing with the

OSWALD investigation and it is noted that as set forth in

Mexico City letter to the Bureau 1/24/54 in the OSWALD case

MEX 18 and MEX 19,

both of whom have furnished reliable infor

mation in the past, reported on 1/13/54 that they had conversed

with ELIZABETH CATLETT MORA, Bufile 100-395934, who told them

of a conversation she held

with TEReSA PROENZA, the Cultural

Attache of the Cuban Embassy in Mexico City.

According to

MORA, TERESA PROENZA had told her that OSWALD walked in "cold"

to the Cuban imbassy and the first person he talked to was

PROENZA. Since PROENZA did not speak inglish, she turned him

While it is not clear from available information,

it would appear that PRONZA was able to return from Cuisa

for a visit to mexico following her disnissal and departure

in 1/64.

By report dated 1/14/65 the CIA reported on the in-

vestigation by the fuban government of old line communist

JOAQUIN ORDOQUI MESA.

In this report it was indicated that

TIGRESA PROCNEA had been arrested at her home and was being

held incommunicado.

A review of the foregoing material indicates that

TERESA PROENZA got into trouble with the Cuban government nore

as a result of her criticisn of the handling of the OSWALD

matter following the assassination of President KENNEDY than

because of anything she did when OSWALD visited the Cuban

Embassy.

Her harsh criticism of nigh Cuban officials (the

Ambassador and foreign Minister) was apparently well known

in the embassy and hardly helped her case.

It fails to

indicate that she did anything for CSWALD that would substantiate

the remarks made by JORGE LOJAS and his wife to MEX 197 that

TERESA PRORizA had nearly been erecuted because of her activittes

during OSWALD's visit to the Cuban Embassy in 1963.

In the

absence of additional information regarding this activity, no

further investigation is contemplatec at this time.

It is

noted

that it is not feasible to directly interrogate JORGE

ROJAS

or his wife.

Rowever, MEx 197 will closely follow this

matter with then

and any arditional, significant developments

will be called promptly to the attention of the Bureau.

One information copy is being furnished to Philadelphia

in view of their interest in kiVARO PROLlA.

PROENZA,

MEX: 107 reported on 7/5/73 that he hac recently visited

the ROJiS family in Merico City and CACHITA remarked that

ALVARO said he was surrounded by "gusanos" (referring

Cuban exiles in a derogatory manner) in Philadelphia.

to

his neting with me and Mr. WINSTON SCOTT;

then head of CIA,

Mexico:

I first net Mr. THOMAS, one of the officers amigned

to the Political Bection of the

Embassy on 12/17/65, the day

after I took over as legal Attache, wen Mr. SCOrT told me he

had received a menorancn which he belteved I should see.

It

was Mr. THOMAS' memorandun dated 12/10/65.

As originally prepared

that menorandu was designated for the Ambandor, lithe Depaty

Chief of Mission, the Politienl Section, Politicul Research (CIA),

and the Central Blographle Department.

He subsequently furnished

this offfee a copy although that disnemination does not show on

the Embaamy file copy of his memorandu. In view of the nature

of the information, Mr. THOMS was asked to join Mr. SCOFT and

me in a conference. Since the investigation of the OSWALD case

and been handled by " previous Logal Attache, I remained nor

committal about the allegations made by

• Mies GARRO, but pointed

out the Burenu's interest in that case.

It was alao pointed out

to Mr. THOMS that the information in his memorandun was in

complete in many respects, Including the fact that Miss GARBO did

not pinpoint the date of the alleged party but described it only as

"in September 1963, shortly after her return from Europe".

stated that Miss GARRO was extremely reluctant to ilscuss the

utter and doubted that the would discuss it with anyoue else.

He therefore volunteered to raise the

subject again with her to

obtain more details. He was thanked at that time for his

cooperation.

regarding paragraph 5 in which Mr. THCHAS stated

"he got no reaction fron Menars. SCort and Yakuls regarding hia

In view of the expressed interest of the Ambassador and

the Deputy Chief •! Mission who had received copies of Mr. THOMAS'

memoranda of 12/10 and 12/25/65 in the factualness of Mies GARBO's

story,

they were advised by memoranda fron this office dated

that Mr: TEQUAS doco

(3) Bogarding paragraph & concerning IT. THOMAB'

interview w1th ne relative to Miss GARRO agaln having changed

the date of the alleged party to the end of Beptember:

I never interviewed Mr. THOMAS alone.

The first time

I saw him was in' the presence of Mr. SCOTT.

GO ARONE

When he visited

to come in and alt in on the interview. I did not tell him that

Mine GARRO had given the late September date "aceurately" when

she had come to the Embassy and made her first report.

I did

tell hin that her nowly revised date was the same time that she

had given when whe

Came to the Embassy In November 1964 to tell

her story. The Investigation conducted at that time, as reflected

in Mexico City letterhead menorandun of 12/11/64, showed that

the late Beptember date was not accurate.

Neither did I tell

his that someone else who was at the party had stated that

there were no Americans there.

Frankly, although I had reviewed

the file after thie matter first came up in December 1965, I

did not memorize all of the detaila and I did not recall

, this

fact which I did not becone aware of until my current revlew

in connection with Nr. THOMAS' recent allertions.

or tou not

Neither did

I tell him that I considered the case "closed". I would not

have considered it to be of concern to him whother the case was

closed or not.

I did tell him in response to his luquiry, that

It would not be necesmary for him to pursue this matter any

further with Miss GARRO since we had heard her story before and

it had been checked out without being substantlated

and I

therefore considered her story to be a closed iasue.

(4) Regarding paragraph 9 in which Mr. THCHAS referred

to Mr.

ALLEN WHITE's alleged statement that the Federal Security

Polico Interrogation of the DurAne was unsatisfactory ani

comment,

"This transeript uay be the source of Mr. FERRIS"

bellef

that ELINA GARRO's story had been checkedrout and

found to be

This statenent is uninforned spoculation.

I know

nothig about Mr. WHITE's evaluation of the interrogation of

the DIAN. which so fạr

story about the alleged party not dad tot dalto by ta the

CARRO. My "belief" was based on the investigation conducted

by this office as reported in Mexico City letter and letterhead

menorandon of 18/11/64, and the Burenu's concurring evaluation

as set forth in Bureau airtel 12/22/65 and Bulot of 2/15/66.

With regard to paragraph 10 in which Mr. THOMAS

commented that "whereas the FBI has discounted ELINA GARRO'&

allogations, the CIA te still considerably disturbed by them":

I am aware of no foundations for this obervation that

CIA is "still considerably disturbed" by Mlan GARRO's story.

Mr. WINSTON SCOTT gave absolutely no indication of such renetions

M1ss

hat on the contrary indiented that he was well aware of

GARRo's unrellability.

With regard to Nr. THOMAS' claim that CIA may not

have pressed further investigation for several reasons including

"considering the sensitive overlap and subtle competition between

two intelligence collection agencies, it had to yiold to the

FBI's jurisdietion*:

This can only be deseribed as a product of Mr. THOMAS"

this office and CIA in Mexico vere intained on a friendly.

mutually cooperative basis with respect for the authority and

responsibilities of the two parent agencies. The principal

function of CIA in Mexico in connection with the lnvestigation

of the OSWALD case was in checking out allegations concerning

possible Cuban aspects through their establlahed sources and

confidential converage. The remaining pointe covered by Mr.

THOMAS under Itens 2, 3 and 1, paragraph 10, are entrancous

to Miss GARRO's story and appear to have been included

gratuitously in his menorandun to the Secretary of State.

(6) With regard to Mr. THOMAS' terminal comment in

paragraph 13 that the records should show that a representative

of a major Aneriean publiestion has at least some knowledge of

Dupartment disseminated l*. TICIA!' nemorandan under the subject

"CHARLES VILIAN THOMAS", Instead of under the LEB HARVEY OSWALD

Investigation as

'Mr. THOAS captioned his menorandun.

It appears that Ir.. THOMAS has undergone a change in

attitude since hin deprture from lenico which de diffieult to

understand.

This my possibly be & renetion to his separation

from Foroign Service, According to Embay sources, Mr. THOMAS

18 believed to have been "selected out",. a phrase wied when an

officer is "retired" after having been in one grade for the

maximum period of time and is not considered qualified for

promotion to a higher crade. This lavoluntary separation tron

the Foreign Service my account for his present attitude which

otherwise is difficult to comprehend.

12/16/65 until his departure from Menice in 1967, I and other

personnel of this olfice had very linited contact with Mr. THOMAS.

Ho was one of various officers assigned to the Political Bection

and although he was entensibly friendly, his anniement had

little in common with the work of this office and therefore our

relations, both official and personal, were closer with other

offlears in the Politiel Section.

I had with hin was in connection with instant matter. Although

at that time he exhibited somewhat of a "detective compler" in

deniring to probe into the tory recounted by Miss CARRO, be nt

no time demonatrated a desire to take over the OSVALD 1nvetiga-

tion fron the authorised authorities.

Mr. THOMAS' current attitude a set out in his letter

and manorandun to the Secretary of State dated 1/25/69 10 obvious

raised by item 3 of paragraph 10 of his nemorandum furnished to

the Secretary of state.

Any reference to thel"elose and delicates)

relationship

between the head of CIA Mezico and top Mexican

officials, te true,

Is a very highly classified matter and any

"leak" or

revelation to unauthorized individuale concerning such

an arrangement would, in view of the delicate Mesican political

situation,

be disastrous to the Merican Government as well as

to Mezican-American relations.

The delicacy of the situation

has recently been greatly augmented by the published Cuban

allegation that one of

the officers of the kerican Embassy in

Havana was acting as a CIA spy with the knowledge of the Mexican

Government.

MT. THOMAS, however, Included such a highly

classifled reference in

a memorandun which he classifled only

as "confidential", contrary to regulations relative to classification

of documents.

While this reterence relates to the activities and

operations of another Goverment agency and therefore is not of

primary concern to the bureau, it is nevertheless called to the

Bureau's attention for considoration in evaluating Mr. THOMAS'

current allegations.

An additional copy of this letter is being forwarded

for use in the event the Bureau desires to lorward a copy to

Dallas which recelved a copy of referenced letter.
