Q:

Q:

A:

What was the line of reporting in GiA during the period I servec

as working level point-of-contact with the Warren Commission Staff?

It was

a multiple leveled things

(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;

-A, then WH; ane abl

In practice the substantive SB input worked

CI had own defector input.

In addition, on sensite matters of concern to the inkestigation,

Dick Helms and Murphy also dealt directly with,

to Sacken able ?

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

vas, in fact, aware of something underway regarding Castro.

He

nad no evidence to show that I RGRA'hadübeen 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 notential importance

to Oswald's KGB contasts, and related tha?

Iand others--thaugh

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

I acknowledged.in_retraspect-that Cuban hypathesis was worth recon-

sidering,

Q:

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

made the Mexican trip unless there wassomething 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 to the FBl- which she later rectified

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

hypothesis of Castro/Cuban involvement oper 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 would have doneswould have been to have insisted

on the polygraphing of Marina Oswald regarding her knowledge of

Oswald's Mexican trip.

DXAAZ-27213

11 May 1964

4 itty.

I. This memorandum falfor information and for action

The proposed lines of action are Indicated in paragraph 4.

2. AMMUG/L, PhesCuban Intelligence Service defector,

has produced information of interest to the Presidentis

Commission on the lissassination of President Kennedy. CI

Staff learned of AMMUG/K 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 B). 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). Mr. Swenson's reply

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

particularly to the content of paragraph two of Attachment D.

3. We have the problem of reconciling the operational

exploitation of AMMUG/1 and satisfying the responsibilities

we have undertaken with Mr. Rankin. AMMUG/1 is such an

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

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

must furnish to the Commission the substance of AMMUG/1%s

Information on OSWALD before that

On the previous record of

our association with the Commission, 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

after a frank discussion

of the equities.

4. It is recommended that the DDP in per son 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

headquarter se

Until this takes place, it is not desirable to put

anything in writing.

Attention: Mr. Roca

SUBJECT General

Specific

Debrieting of AMMUG-1

Trie Oswald Case

REFERENCE

Blind Memorandum dated 05 May 1964 V

1. Reference is made to a telephone conversation yesterday

with Chief, CI Staft concerning this matter.

Because I am not aware of the information already

available to the Commission investigating the Cswald Case or

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

based on the questions prepared by the C! Staff and on what the

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

other topics suggested by C1 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 fEmpresa

Transimport". Her title was Secretary General of the Communist

Youth in the department named in the previous sentence.

Luisa CALDERON was transterred directly from her

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

a matter of surprize to the Source.

Rogelo RODRIGUEZ Lopez (DGI pseudo MORCOS),

shortly before he left Cuba for Mexico on or about 16 April 1964,

saw CALDERON.

Blind Memorandum dated 05 May 1964 v

B.

Blind Memorandum dated 07 May 1964

C.

Conversations between CI Staff and

C/WH/SA/CI

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

specific questions prepared by Cl. Staff were posed. The ariswers

given by the Source were reported in Reference A. That memorandum

which I dictated to a Cl 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 further discussed the Oswald Case

with the Source in order to clarity 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 (GI) or any other directorate

or department of the Cuban Government.

I first heard of OSWALD alter the assassination of President

Kennedy when news media carried the name of OSWALD.

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

I can recall, ones 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

mentioned that OSWALD had gone to the Cuban Consulate

two or three times in connection with a visa application

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

although I do not know thät 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 DCI. Such agents on appearing at the

Consulate use a special phraseto Indicate their relationship

with the DGI. (I do not know the párticular phrase used

in every case. I do know that agenta from El Salvador in

requesting visas always made mention of the name "Mauricio" )

The DGI officers at al Consulate interview visa applicants to

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

one of the indicated phrases, the DGI officers, instead of

granting the visa Immechatety, tell the applicant to return in

a few days. The officer then notifies Habana and requests

authority for the visa. I cannot recall If VEGA even made the

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 RODRIGÛEZ Lopez also would have

seen OSWALD because he worked with VEGA and also would

have screened visa applicants.

I thought that Luisa CALDBRON

might have had contact with

OSWALD because I learned about. I/March 1964, shortly before

I made a trip to Mexico, Chat she had been involved with an

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

to me by a DGl case oficer named Norberto HERNANDEZ de

curbelo.

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

other items during my trip to liexico.) 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, BERNANDEZ 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 Manuel PINEIRO, the Head of the DGI,

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 pronunciation

of Anglo-Saxon 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 relationshig between the writer and Luisa

CALDERON. Tal@understood from HERNANDEZ that

after the interception of te\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 I recall, Is Sylvia-DURAN and I know very

little about her.

What happened was that I was in the Cuban

Embassy in Mexico on 23 March, 961 about 1230 in the alternoon

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

some other Cubans including Rogello RODRIGUEZ Lopez and

fu BUENAVENTURA af 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 oi

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

of the group said it was Sylvia DURAN

I recall that, after the news of the assassination of

President Kennedy reached the DGK orders were issued

for all offigs of the UCI, at Headquarters and in the field,

to sort and package all documents according to whether

they were "wuy fecreto" (very secret),

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

was to be held pending further instructions. All travel by

DGI officers and all DGI pouches were suspended temporartly.

In addition, I recall that DGI Headquarters personnel were

instructed either to remain in the DG 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 1 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 3rd of December 1963."*

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

information concerning the assassination of President Kennedy or

about the activities of OSWALD. LEthe paraphrased comments of

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

Mr. Rocca,

who is most familiar with the details of the OSWALD

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

while, I shall have a question asked th a forthcoming ICFLUTTER to

determine whether or not the Source seems to have concealed any

information on this matter.

officers and all DGI pouchegwere suspended temporarily.

B. When the news that OSWALD was the assassin reached

MEMORÄNDUMSFOR Man Rocca

"Interval Mame Rogerding Agausy's Position

with

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

that the Directos has received a telephone call from RANKIN

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

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

morning.

Dealing.

AMMO

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

2a%: 24;

This brief is concerned yith five topics which, it is

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

ance before the P

ent's Commission. These are:

a. Formal and loqualified negation by the DCI

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 activittes 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 phat the DCI take the position

that at this time there is no conclusive evidence of

conspiratopial sponsorship af 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 DOl 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 claimer of any Relet onship with bee Harvey Oawald

There have been yumore and allegations which began :

immediately after the assassirtation 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 identitycof themes and the timing lend

strong support to the conclusion that these charges are elements

of a world-wide, So

sponsored propaganda and misinformation

program.

As DCI, MI. McCore 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

os gans siage the assarmation of the President, recall the

methods and the puxgores of the/froader campaign against

American intelligence and sécurity components which has built

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 has

incorporated in his affidavit the results of detailed

and painstaking examination.

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

then, 94e

stion 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

Apteltigence 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.

the DCI-should state that he desires

to take the opportunity

offer a

Juggestion 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 administer the purposes of the Act.

1 The DOl should superat the Commission consider 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 secretiassociations 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.

mission that we are aware that personnel in police state apparatuses

charged with the assassination and sabotage functions have repeatedly

such work and for the system which calls upon them to do it.

There are specific cases in the past teg years which document

this assertion, Trusted personnel 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 furter

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

Extensive

Information has been made available to the

Commission by CIA on the working level regarding Oswald's

activity in Mexico City in September and October 1963. The

Commission Staff bas 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 of through their owa staff with the appropriate component

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

overall assurance that be had tengrated bia personnel to place.

their information completely at the Commission's disposition.

1.

The attached sewiew. and summary was written at

the express request of ir. David W. Belin as a follow-

up to Question 3 of his letter to the Agency of

15 April 1975.

to what the Warren Commission and

its staff had laid before then in 1964 on this subject.

The results of the review are stipulated in paragraph 8

of the Attachment.

There seemed to be no reason to

attach copies of the case reports from the file to this.

These can be made available promptly, however,

SUBJECT : Review of Selected Items in the

tions of CASTRO: Cuban Inyolvement in the

John F. KENNEDY Assassination

REFERENCE : •Letter by David # Belin to

paragraph 3

Henry Knoche, 15 April 1975,

(Regarding Public Statement

by CASTRO,

etasy, attached

BACKGROUND

1. 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 Am

Lican political

leadership, in particular President KENNEDY, whom he ex-

coriated in extraordina

provocatiye fashion

(" ..• KENNEDY is a creti

>"..• 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.'

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 Washington, D. C., printed the HARKER

story nearly in its entirety in the second section of the

paper (9 September 1963, page B-4) and reworded the content

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

litical aspea

- 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 RENNEDY

assassination)that this CASTRO interview was considered in

following up leads or in dealings with the Warren Connission

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 CASTRO 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

request, 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 anator 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 will persist and

-grow until there has been a full disclosure

by these governments, of all elements of

OSWALD's handling and stay in the Soviet Union

and a contacts in Mexico City. The

warren Comination 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 Connission, CIA would continue to

regard this aspect of the OSWALD case as

still open.1

must be considered of

great significance; in the light of the

pathological evolution of OSWALD's passivel

aggressive makeup after his attempt to kill

service in El Toro, California. CASTRO's

warning and threat, given to AP corres-

pondent HARKER, irrespective of whether

there was any formal mandate, of even

security service contact with OSWALD:

by the Cubans or 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.

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 Connission Report takes note of this:

TOSWALD, tOld DELGADO that he was in

with

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.

11. 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:

DELGADO' 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.

mexico City time, about five hours after the

KENNEDY assassination, a Cuban Embassy employee named

"Luisa" 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

course, I knew

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

20. Both speakers agreed on the seriousness of the

assassination. "Luisa" also stated that the party at

that they were celebrating the death of KENNEDY, nor would

they have the partys cointide with the burial. Finally she

22. The tenuous, enigmatic character of the conversation

is sharply highlighted by the following

facts:

a. "Guisa" was probably identical with

Luisa CALDERON, a cadre worker of the Cuban

Directorate Cenéral of Intelligence (DGI).

She returned to Cuba in 1964 and was reported

to be working in DGI Headquarters.

b. The DGI element in Mexico City in the

Silvia DURAN is the sole live witness on the

confrontation with her was requested by the

warren Commission staff but rejected by the

Mexican authorities. It is from Silvia DURAN's

statements that it was learned that OSWALD

became engaged in a personal altercation on

27 September with Eusebio AZCUE.

₫. 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 subjected to a systematic elicitative

interrogation that would have related her dealings with

osing, moong ex 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 &

CASTRO's overseas intelligence and security service could

have more in its files than was surfaced in the DURAN

was taken by Vincent Theodore LEE, the organizer of the

Fair Play Committee for Cuba, with which OSWALD established

relations from Dallas during the period 19 April -

2 November 1963.

There is an overlap between LEE's and

VEGA's travels to Havana during that period: VEGA

departed Mexico City on 6. January for Havana and returned

on 13 February 1963.

SUBSTANTIAL AMPLIFICATION OF ADMISSION OF

ALLEGED PERSONAL RELATIONS WITH LEE HARVEY OSWALD, 1967

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, Joaguim Hernandez ARMAS,

because the thrust of the conversation dealt with the ques-

tion whether Silvia DURAN had been asked about [or 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, Of

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

use of the polygrapha on which ALVARADO showed evidences of

deception, and by bringing ALVARADO's former Nicaraguan

security service contraf into the case.

28.

The ALVARADa story is a particularly acute repre-

sentation of the difficulties that beset the evaluation of

observed evidence: certain elements of the story persist

despite the impeachment of its major premises. ALVARADO,

whose account did not become 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,

siculate 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-Conmunism,

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 osmo 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 DURANI.

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 ón 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

an Embassy political officer on 10 December 1965:

She also acknowledged that she and her daughter

34. It developed that GARRO and daughter had been

interviewed by the Legal Attache on 17 and 24, November I264.

Her information had been similar to what she claimed in her

account to THOMAS but had not been substantiated byinquiries.

The Fal 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 Political Officer, however, persisted in

his interviews and reporting. In a memorandum of conversation,

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

taken by CALVILIO as the Hotel Vermont.

out affirmatively: CARRO was at the Hotel 23 - 24, 25 - 27

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.

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:

SUBJECT: Lea Harvey OSWALD

Recorda of the foreignery recorda office of the Gerinas

Federal Reprolis in Gologne, Germany, show that Marine

Nisolayevna Pusakoya CSWALD crossed West Germany Stora

East Gormany to Holland on 3 Juza 1962.. She traveled by rall,

crussig into West Germany at Fielmstedt on 3 June and enter-

ing Hollasd by rail at the Bentheirs crossing point. Sha had

Vi est Germas visa 694/62 issued at the West Germany Embasay

in Moscow, She listed ber fisal destination as U.S.A. Cormert:

This confirms information from the U.S. Imbassy la Moscow

to the efiect that the OSWALD family taveled from loscow lo

' Rotterdam by rall aroudd 3 June, 1962. Helmstedt and Berthein

are on the sain rail xoute from Russia to Rotterdam. While

Lee CSTALD himself asd their infant daughter are not recorded

in German recorda this is probably because little attention is

pail to U.S. citizens and to irfants in keeping travel records.

Rankin stated that the Conmission wants to account

minute by minute and hour by bour, for Oswald's

time outside the United States.

Mr. Bagley suggested that

the narrative chronology of Oswald's stay in the Soviet Union

be convarted toa chronology tabulation which would pernit us

more staplyto insert added details and dates as we learned

of themjin other documentation which we can expect to recelve

shortly.

This vas agreed.

(Nota: I Instructed Mr. Wigren to begin re

casting the narrative immediately into

Rankin said that the Commission 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 USSR and other naterial. He promised to send this

material to Hr. Helms shortly.

(Note: He will pass appropriate parts of this

material to DERYABIN fos further analy

on documents already in our possession.)

Mr. Angleton and Mr.

Murphy thought that it would be desirable to send this paper

to the Warren Commission in advance of other CIA reports with

a menorandum informing the Commission that we would need

answers to this interim questionnaire in order to reconstruct

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

corment on his activity there.

Hr. Angleton reported that he had asked the Cornis

sion representatives certain quastions portairing to our use

of defectors In analysing the Oswald papers:

Lave

Was the Commission formally requesting us to

defectors analyse the material?

Nor. Wellins thought that the answer

to this question is yes.

However,

Mr. Angleton asked for a formal

request from the Comission to this

effect.

The FBI. has stated that its

reports are not to be passed to

ALLADLE, which may cause some compli

cations.

Would the Commission be prepared to assume the

burden of responsibility it such a derector should disa

ree with the Commission's opinions of cometup with

radically dilferent hypothesis or interpretation?

The persons present said that the

Commission would.

If a defector who had contributed to the analy

sis of the documents should be unwilling to appear person-

ally and formally before the Commission, would the

Connission exercise its subpoena powers agalnst him?

Mr. Rankin thought that if there was

a risk involved for the defector, the

Commission would not do so.

However,

Rankin promised to get a fornal answer

Iron the Cormission on this point.

The answer was that in principle our

classification would be honored.
