THE

INFORMATION COUNCIL OF THE AMERICAS, INC. (INCA)

1. INCA is an anti-Communist propaganda organization

with headquarters in Now Orleans, that dissominates English

and doreen language propaganda tapes and lilns on a world-

wide basis, conducts public toruns of an extremist

political nature, etc.

The organizational impetus and funds

apparently come

from wealthy New Orleans figures including

DI. Alton OCHSNER, of the OCHSNER CLINIC, and Willard l.

ROBERISON. In recent years tuids have been supplied by

SCHICK SAFETY RAZOR COMPANY. An INCA letterhead listing all

the officers and officials has been requested tron JWAVE,

which has had some casual correspondence with the organiza-,

tion concerning Miss Juanita CASTRO.

2.: There is no indication of any Agency relationship

with INCA prior to January 1965 when

INCA sponsored Miss

CASTRO's appearance in New Orleans.

At that time an Agency

asset vio. functioned as Miss CASTRO's business manager was

involved with INCA officials in planning the New Orleans

visit where Miss CASTRO was given an award at a dinner

sponsored Ny INCA.

The dinner, which was attended by civic

Icaders and representatives of

all news media, took place

shortly after Miss CASTRO's defection and there was

considerable interest in her appearance.

INCA was particularly.

interested since it had distributed hundreds of English

and Spanish language tapes containing her statements when

she was surfaced in Mexico.

In October 1966 INCA again

requested that Miss CASTRO appear as a guest speaker in

ma joi

American cities in connection with the release of

the INCA motion picture production "HITLEK IN HAVANA"

Fullowing various reviews of the film,

IMWAVE decided

the

film would probably become controversial and it would be

inadvisable to permit Miss CASTRO to accept the invitation.

Because of INCA's extremist political orientation, JMWAVE

has wanted to avoid any more involvement between Miss CASTRO

and INCA and the Station asset,

in his capacity as business

has mnaged to prevent this. There has been only

une casual contact between our asset

and Edward BUrli,

Executive Vice-President of INCA, since Miss CASTRO's 1905

New Orleans trip. This took place recently when BUTLER was

in ile area promoting the "HITLER IN HAVANA" {1lm.

3.

According to JMWAVE, INCA officials have never

indicated in any

way that they are aware of Agency control

and direction of Miss CASTRO or her business agent, and there

is no indication that INCA officials have had any official

contact with Agency officers.
