CONFIDENTIAL 21 July 1892 C/HRS/ File-JFK Preliminary Review of Certain JFK Files (re Conyers rqst) Boxes 40 to 48. It is my obsevation based on the one box that I reviewed (48) and conversations with the other reviewers that most of this group of files consists of Office of Security files on individuals. As such they are largely biographic and, in the case of the gangsters involved in Mongoose, heavily concerned with their legal problems. With some exceptions these files contain mostly tangential references to operational matters. They are not a gold mine of information on Castro Mongoose, and the Bay of Pigs. (Frank) Box 40 contains OS files primarily on anti-Castro Cubans and individuals involved in the Garrison case who had Agency connections or contacts. Also contains several files on Agency employees involved with anti-Cuba and/or mafia activities. Most of the files contain bio/file check data on the individual with little or However, files on prominent individuals* in the CIA's anti-Castro/Cuba projects contain some substantive information on activities such as AMWORLD, JMATE, JMWAVE and recruitment plans. *Manuel ARTIME - AMWORLD project leader Bradley AYERS - former Agency/ leaks to Jack A. & book Francisco BARTES - anti-Castro Cuban leader Charlotte BUSTOS-Videla - Agency employee David Christ - Agency employee Viola June COBB - journalist close to Castro (Barry) Box 41. Similar with less substantive information; most files individuals involved with Garrison case that had or claimed to have CIA connections. Box includes file on Fair Play for Cuba Comm. composed primarily of Congressional hearings. Also a file on Lucien Conein of Viet Nam fame. Conclusion: OS files which are oriented toward individuals' personal life and security clearance requirements not a good starting point for substantive info on anti-Castro projects and Bay of Pigs. "(Barry) Box 42 and Box 43 are almost exclusively security bio fles with little substantive information relevant to Castro, Mongoose, and the Bay of Pigs. There are five folders on Garrison alone but these are almost entirely open source material (Honey) Boxes 44 & 45 contain bio folders-which in turn contain various references as follows: References to Castro, anti-Castro, and Bay of Pigs were Found in various news clippings including Washington Post and NYTimes and in various memos to the Senate Select Committee on Assassination, (For the Record, blind memos, etc, re names on police requests). These references could be characterized as shallow. (Eileen W.) CONFIDENTIAL HH 53217 DocId:32404409 Page 2 --- ## Page 3 .".. CONFIDENTIAL Box 46 contains 25 envelopes, Occasional pieces on links with Cuban exile groups. Envelope 6 concerns Frank Sturgis - focus is Watergate but there is mention of anti-Castro training, etc. Envelope I1 concerns Carlos TEDINO Gonzales, alleged CIA, and his link to two Cuban majors arrested in plot to kill Castro. No substantive info. Envelope 15 concerns Manuel Antonia DE VARMEY Loreda, Cuban exile. File concerns anti-Castro activity in the US, including info on the Mafia link. (Chuck) Box 47 contains no relevant official information: 12 envelopes or folders; envelopes 5-8 (over 1 linear foot) are nothing but newspaper clippings, some of which relate. (Chuck) Box 48 is almost entirely security files on individuals involved with plans to assassinate Castro, but documents contain mostly their biographies and legal aspects of various cases against these individuals. Actual information on the plots is very limited. (Frank) Microf1lm Reels. The three reels mentioned as possible sources 51A quite a bit on AMLASH, AMWHIP, and AMTRUNK. We also looked at reel 51 which also has information on Cuebela. (Eileen S.) FRANK (Note on FOIAs on following page). CONFIDENTIAL HH 53217 DooId: 32404409 Page 3 --- ## Page 4 CONFIDENTIAL FOIA 1648: "What Would Castro Have Known", a 13 page outline of the various schemes to assassinate Castro with some reference to possibility of knowledge of these plans having reached Castro. File also includes a 16 page memo from John Blake to John Shattuck, Natl Staff Counsel, ACLU, setting forth justification for withholding in whole or part some 74 documents. FOIA 1644. A memo from Hank Knoche to David Belin entitled, Review of Selected Items in the Lee Harvey Oswald File Regarding Allegations of Castro Cuban Involvement in the JFK Assassination. Pages 1 to 7 covered comments by Castro in an interview by AP correspondent Daniel Harker plus press follow-up articles. Balance of memo covered testimony of Oswald's Marine colleague on Oswald's Cuban contacts; threats by Cuban Third secretary at the Hague; the Alvarado story (Nicaraguan informant); comments by a woman who had been at a party in Mexico with Oswald present; the claimed encounter with Oswald at a student group meeting by a Mexican journalist in Tampico.

HSCA requested access to IBI Headquarters (FBIHQ) filas On five informants reporting on Invaders.

HSCA than requested access to Memphis Flold Office files. on the same informants.

Keuch state, our arguments are persuasive, but he still belleved the decision in his letter of 7/24/78 was the best course of action in this matter. However, he desired to use our arguments in responding to Congressman Stokes' letter and asked this Information be furnished him on a formal, basis. that our action in this matter will have no bearing on the Socialist Workers Party Iitigation In New York. Congressional Inguiry Unit (CIU) believes that since copies of these files will be excised to prevent compromise of Informants' identities, We should agree with Mr. Keuch'. position and make files available. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. That we foflow the decision of Mr. Reuch in making excised coples of these informant files avallable to the HSCA'a Chief Counsel and Director only. 2. If the above 1a approved, an appropriate communication be prepared direating to MI.

Bassett RE: HOUSE SELECT COMMITTEE ON ASSASSINATIONS U. S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES (ESCA) DETAILS: By letter to the Attorney General dated 4/12/78, the ESCA requested access to files on our informants within the Invaders, a Memphis youth gang. This request was apparently made after, a review of the Invaders file at FBIHQ which disclosed the Memphis Office had five iniormants who were providing coverage of that organization. Mr. G. Robert Blakey, Chief Counsel and Director, HSCA, had advised Legal Counsel Division that the usca is trying to resolve whether or not the Invaders fomented racial violence to get king to return from Atlanta to Memphis where he was killed and to determine 1f any of these, informants acted as "agent provocateurs" In starting, this violence. None of the five informants involved are currently active. Only one informant actually became a member of the Invaders and that was not until after king's assassination. Memphis files on these informants total 47 sections. By Mr. Ryan to Mr. Bassett memorandum dated 4/27/78, It was approved to release FBIHQ files on these informants with all informant identifying data excised. It was hoped these files would satisfy the HSCA that informante were not responsible for violence. This action was taken primarily as a "compromise" to demonstrate cooperation with the Committee. Any additional afforts by the iSCA to review field office files of the informants or to determine informant identities would be opposed. Access to FBIHQ Informant files was limited to MI. Blakey, since some starf members were familiar with substantive, file on the Invaders and to allow staff access could jeopardize Informants' identitles. As reported in Mr. Ryan to Mr. Bassett memorandun dated 5/19/78, MI. Blakey, reviewed excised copies of all five FBIHQ informant files on 5/17/78, in the presence of two Agents of the CIU. Following a review, Mi. Blakey stated he found no avidence that any of our informants acted as "agent provocateurs." He furnished FBIHQ 15 pages of notes which he took during review and desired these notes be kept at FBIHl for possible later use in constructing a paragraph in the final uscA report to the effect that he found no evidence that any of these informants instigated violence. Following this review, Mr. Blakey made no verbal request that . field office files of these informants would be needed. - 3- CONTINUED - OVER --- ## Page 10 Hemorandun to HI. Bassett BES HOUSE SELECT COMMITTEE ON ASSASSINATIONS U, S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES (USCA) By latter to the Attorney General dated 5/23/78, MI. Blakey requested access to Memphis Field Office files of these same five informants. risis lotter statad that the procedure used for raview of PIll files was unacceptable and contrary to the Memorandum of Understanding, but could be utllized again. In response to this request, a letter frol the director to Congressman Louis 3. Stokes, Chairman, USCA, dated 6/13/78, was sent denying access to these flles. A copy of this letter and the letter transmitting it to the Department of Justice are attached to this memorandum. Our denial vas based primarily on the overall detrimental effect this access could have on our informant developuent program and, as this letter pointed out, the lives and safety of our Inforwants could be placed in joopardy. This latter also stated that our decision to make the PBIll Informant files avallable was not meant to serve as a precedent for the EscA to request fiole office files for the same informants. MI. Robert I. Reuch, Deputy Assistant Attorney. General, concurred with our position in the absence of additional information Iron the HSCA bearing on the allogation that our informants acted as "agent provocateurs® in instigating the violence in Memphis. On 7/12/78, representatives of the CIU and Legal Counsel Division net with Mr. Keuch, at which time MI. Reuch furnished a copy of a letter Irom Congressman Stokes to the Attorney General dated 7/5/78. A Copy of this letter 19 attached to this memorandun. This letter sets out in detali the basis on which the usch feela it has for requesting access to InfOIMant LIOld OLIICO ILLeD. This letter appealed to the Attorney General to resolys the matter of the intormant riles and seguested a meeting with the Attorney General to disouss the issues involved. Mr.. Keuch advisad that the ESCA was prepared to subpoena these files. In his opinion, sir. Kouch bellaved the Department would lose a court decizion over the files and it would be in the Bureau's best interest to comply with the ISCA Taquest of 5/23/78 and allon accoss. MI.

Bassett RE: HOUSE SELECT COMMITTEE ON ASSASSINATIONS U. S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES (ESCA) had established a need to review the field office informant files and the request was not based on irresponsible allegations. Mt. reuch reguested that the iBl reexamine lis position ano • advise li the illes could be made available to MI. Blakey only. On 7/13/78, MI. Keuch advised that if files were not forthcoming, the ESCA planned to issue a subpoena for 12e ASCA, them, an action to commence 7/17/78. At a meeting with representatives of the CIU, Mr. Bassett and MI. Bailey on 7/13/78, MI. McDermott directed that all five informants be contacted to determine If they have any objections to their identities being disclosed to the HSCA. If any did not object, then a signed waiver would be obtained authorizing release of their files to the RSCA. Subsequent to the meeting, MI. Keuch was telephonically advised of this action.. On 7/17/78 and 7/18/78, the field advised that all five informants had been contacted and refused to allow their identities to be disclosed to the HSCA. On 7/18/78, Mr. Keuch was telephonically advised that all five informants objected to their identities being disclosed to the ESCA. By letter to the Director dated 7/24/78 (copy attached), Mr. Reuch outlined the basis which he, as Special Counsel to the Attorney General, believed that excised copies of these Informant files should be made available to the ESCA. In hiB opinion, Mr. Keuch believes the ESCA's legislative and Investigative needs for the files are not based on "pure decision regarding subpoenas, access would be broadened and informants' identities.coula be disclosed; the nature of the Conmittee 1s "that the Bureau and Department of Justice aLe targets or subjects of the investigation" and we are obligated to be as cooperative as possible; and, that "if and when we reach the ultimate confrontation over the possible disclosure of Informants" the we nate " our position will be strengthened by taking cooperative steps consistent with our needs to proteat informants' identities. -5- CONTINUED - OVER NO 55244 DocId: 32909819 Page 11 --- ## Page 12 Memorandum to Mr. Bassett RE: HOUSE SELECY COMMITTEE ON ASSASSINATIONS U, §, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES (USCA) Subsequent* to receipt of thia letter, Mi. Keuch was informally furnished by the CIU a list of points against making these files available to the HSCA.. These points wera derived as results of discussions by Interested divisions at FBIHQ and a review of Congressman Stokes' letter to the Attorney General dated 7/5/78. While it was belleved Mr. Keuch's position in this matter is sound, we also desired he be made aware of our arguments in opposition to making these informant, files available. These points given to Mi, Keuon Informally are as follows:. 1. As stated in our letter to Congressman Stokes dated 6/13/78, If It becomes general knowleäge that FBI Informant files are being opened to outside parties, informant privilege is threatened and our Informant development program can be severely hampered.. Despite the HSCA's statement In the letter from Congressman Stokes that it is not seeking the informants' identities at this time, this is not the central asue in point. The central Issue 1s the principle of opening a field office informant file to outsida partios. The HSCA was providod.access to FBIHQ files concerning informants who reported on the Invaders. Although the HSCA feals these were administrative in nature, the polloy of the Bureau at that time reguired that ald intormation oi a substantive natura be turnished to iiiia. Data such as informant's travel, amount of paymente and a mummary of background material are examples of such infor- mation provided to FBIHQ.. Therefore, FBIHQ feels that Its files contain significant Information concerning the operation of any informant. 3. All Information of substance concerning the Invaders organization furnished by these informants would be reported In the Invaders file at FBIHO. The 'ESCA has had accoss to this file since December, 1977. The HSCA has shown no interest in reviewing the Memphis Field Office file concerning the Invaders, a file which would contain all reports from informants covering the Invaders. It would appear logical to examine this file in detail prior to pressing for files of informants, none of whom were even members of the invaders at the time oi or pIloI to King's assassination. 06-0 CONTINUED - OVER NW 55244 DooId: 32989819 Page 12 --- ## Page 13 Memorandum to Mr. Bassett RE: HOUSE SELECT COMMITTEE ON ASSASSINATIONS U. S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES (ESCA) 4. Review of FBIHQ Informant files was restricted to Mr. G. Robert Blakey, Chief Counsel and Director, ESCA, and not to his staff because, since the staff had access to the Invaders file at FBIHQ, their knowledge of the organization could possibly result in identification of informants through a cross checking of the files. Subsequent to MI. Blakey's review of the informant files, the FBlio Invaders file was delivered to the HSCA on 7/6/78. NOw MI. Blakey himself has acess to the substantive Invaders file, and similarly, his possible new knowledge could result In source identification if allowed access to field office files. 5. On 7/17/78" and 1/18/78, all five Informants were contacted to determine if they would permit disclosure of their identification to the HSCA.. All declined. 6. Pollowing his review of FBIHQ files on 5/19/78, MI. Blakey told agents present that he found no evidence that any of our informants acted as "agent provocateurs." He furnished notes taken during his review to FBIHQ and reguested the notes be maintained by the FBI for possible future use in writing into his final report a paragraph to the effect he had found no evidence that any of these informants had instigated violence. He made no reguest at that time to review field office informant files. It 18 possible that Mr. Blakey Is satisfied with the review of FBIHQ Informant files. 7. The FBI desires to maintain consistency with regard to our position in this matter. In our letter to Congressman Stokes dated 6/13/78, access to these files was denied. This position was decided upon after careful deliberation between interested divisions in the FBI and in our view the MISCA has provided no basis to cause a change of this position. 8. Providing the HSCA access to field office Informant files, although excised, could serve as an undesirable precedent for other outaide groups to review Buch files. 9. Because of the large number of excisions In these files to protect the identities of informants, it is unlikely the uSCA will be satisfied with its review, if granted. It will probably ask for fewer excisions and/ or the identities of the informants. 55244 DocId: 32989819 Page 13 -7- CONTINUED - OVER.': --- ## Page 14 Memorandum to Mr. Bassett RE? HOUSE SELECT COMMITTEE ON ASSASSINATIONS U. S: HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES (ASCA) 10. Finally, the letter from Congressman stokes dated 7/5/78, has been analyzed at FBIHQ and, generally, It le not belleved it contains additional infor- mation giving substance to the allegation that our informants acted as "agent provocateurs." specifically, the following points are noted: -. = The letter states (pages I and 4) that the ISCA had access to relevant Bureau personnel and has conducted extensive interview among those who may also be subfects of this aspect of the Committee's Investigation. The Committee claims need to review the files to determine 1f the wiltten record supports or refutes the oral testimony on the relevant questions. However, the letter offers no specific results of interviews of personnel or others concerning the basic allegation. It has not identifled any specific individual who has furnished Information bearing on this allegation. • *. The letter states (page 4) that based on field interviews with former members of the Invaders and people present in Memphis, at the time of the march, the "Invaders were in fact a proximate cause of the violence." This is not new Information.. The FBIHO file concerning the Invaders, media reports issued then and more recently verifies. the Invaders culpability regarding violence during the march., The letter also states (page 4) that "it is universally followers who caused the violence belleved that the Invader. The FBI considers this statement were paid FBI operatives.. a sweeping generalization and again the Committee offers no specific identities of Individuals who belleved those causing violence were FBI Informants: Other than artioles appearing in "Newsday" magazine in 1976 and more recently statements by Mark Lane and possibly former members of the Invaders, who else shares this ballets the letter iron congressman stokes identsiles no one.. c.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES (ASCA) were instructed to instigate violence. However, as shown in our files, FBI knowledge of impending violence was based on Information from various informants and officials, resulting from a tense situation brought about by the Sanitation Workers Strike, all of which made knowledge of Impending violence rather, obvious. d. The letter states (pages 4.and 5) that "members of the Invaders were observed by agents of the FBI exhorting the crowd and readying weapons from signposts la fact later testified to under oath by these agents).". A revlew of the Invaders and informant files at FBIHl disclosed that none of the Informants were members of the Invaders at the time violence occurred. Only one of these five Informants was ever a member and that was subseguent to the assassination. The letter states (page 5) that "Professor Blakey's review of the files revealed that at least one Informant subsequently joined a more violence-prone organization." It is assumed this statement is to demonstrata the Informant's propensity for violence. However, the fBI believes that King's death and the rioting that followed Intensified racial feeling and tended to make some organiza- tions more violent. Therefore, it is logical that whatever organization our informant was redirected into, It would be more violence prone. On 7/27/78, MI. Reuch telephonically advised a representative of the CIU that he reviewed our arguments and found them persuasive, but still he belleved the decision as outlined in his letter of 7/24/78 was the best course of action in this matter.. He stated, however, that he desired to use our arguments in responding to the letter from Congressman Stokes and asked that this information be furnished him on a formal, basis. Mi. Keuch also stated he had contacted the United States Attorney In New York handling the Sociallat Workers Party case and had received clearance that our action in this matter mould have no bearing on that litigation.. -9- CONTINUED - OVER NW 55244 DOCId: 32989819 Page * 15 --- ## Page 16 Memorandum to Mr. Bassett RE: HOUSE SELECT COMMITTEE ON ASSASSINATIONS Y.

House of Biepresentatitess 8031 HOUSI OFFICE GUILDING, AXREX: WASHINGTON, D.C, 20515 July 5, 1978 The Honorable Griffin B. Bell Attorney General of the United States Department of Justice Washington, D.C. ATTI DORIATION CONTAINED VERDIT IS INCLEEDIN LATE 718-01 03 60290 BeE/dey/S Dear MI. Attorney General: +4271176427113 In connection with the Committee's investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of DI. Martin Luther King, JI., I write to request that you make certain field office informant files available to the Comnittee so that serious allegations involving the Federal Bureau of Inves-. tigation and the death of DI. King may be resolved. The Committee has already had access to the relevant Bureau personnel, and it has conducted extensive interviews among those who may also be subjects of this aspect of the Com- mittee's investigation. The focus of the Committee's effort now is to determine if the written record supports or refutes the oral testimony on the relevant questions. These files have been denied to the Committee by the Director of the Bureau by letter dated June 1l, 1978, with the con- currence of the Criminal Division. I write this letter to ask that you give your personal attention to resolving this serious matter. On October 7, 1977, you and I signed the Memorandum of Understanding between the Department and the Select Com- mittee. As you will recall, it was intended that the Memorandum should cover what materials the Department of Justice would release to the Committee, (I.A.C.). In a letter dated April 12, 1978, Professor G. Robert Blakey, the Chief Counsel and Staff Director of the Com- mittee, confirmed an oral request in which he asked for "the informant files on all informants in the Invaders (a Black militant group in Memphis, Tennessee) during 1968 and provide the Committee with access to these files." (see 11. B.) Apparently, this group was involved in the violence that occurred in Memphis when Dr. King was there NW 55244 DocId: 32989019 Page 21 --- ## Page 22 * * nsi ti The Honorable Griffin B. Bell Pagé 2 in 1968. The files were to be examined in a form in which only the identity of the informants had been exercised from • them. The letter also expressly noted the "Committee ... reserves the right to reguest...the identity of all Invader. Informants during 1968 should the sanitized files and agent interviews be inconclusive on the issues to be resolved by the Committee." (See I.B. (1)) During the week of May 14, 1978, the Bureau, in partial response to the April 12th request, permitted only Professor Blakey to review the duly excised FBI Headquarters informant files. The staff of the Committee was denied access to the files. Professor Blakey agreed to this form of limited access, reserving the right to insist that the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding be complied with. In a letter dated May 23, 1978, the Committee then requested "that the Memphis Field Office files for these same informants be prepared for access by the staff." The Headguarters files contained basically administrative data; it was felt that the Field Office file might be more en- lightening. The letter also observed, "While the Committee feels that the procedure by which... (Professor Blakey) was permitted access to the first set of files was unacceptable and contrary to the Memorandun of Understanding, pending further discussions to arrange to broaden access, this pro- cedure may again be utilized." It should be clearly understood that the Committee's request for these files, as well as the other informant files, is predicated on the precise language of the Memo- randum of Understanding. Section I.B. (2) of the lemorandum sets out the "Specific Rules" by which access to materials may be ob- tained. Section I.B. (2), in pertinent part, provides: Where.. requested materials reveal the identity of FBI sources who are or were informants...The D(epartment) of Justice) will appropriately sanitize, including ex- cising. if necessary. information identifying such operations, sources or informants. Emphasis added.) NW 55244 DocId: 32989819 Page 22 --- ## Page 23 Ee area to close de to tren 1. The Honorable . Page, 3 Griffin B. Bell of access. Under I.Bnial" the only matter at issue is the terms of access is not contemplated. Blz clearly allows access to the files at issue, subject. only to proper sanitization. Nothing else is asked for here. The Committee is fully cognizant of the issues raised by the Bureau in its letter of June 13, 1978, in response to our request. It is, of course, recognized that a measure of confidence in the Bureau's informant program would, in fact, be eroded should it become general knowledge that the FBI identified its informants in anything but extra- ordinary circumstances, where, under the prevailing view, they must be identified. See Roviaro v. United States, 353 U.S. 53 (1957). Nevertheless, all this is premature; the Committee has not requested, as yet, that the identity of these informants be revealed. All that is requested is access to the files, in order that serious allegations Involving the informants and the Bureau be resolved. The Director's letter of June 13, 1978, offers instead of access to the relevant files, sworn affadavits denying the Bureau's informants acted as "agents provacateurs". The Committee feels that this procedure for resolving this issue would be unacceptable. As you know, with respect to the Ring investigation the Committee is, in effect, performing for death of DI. King the same function that the Warren Commission performed for the death of President Kennedy. One of the most frequent criticisms of the Warren Commission is that in at- tempting. to resolve the issue of whether or not Lee Harvey Oswald was an FBI informant, the Commission accepted sworn affadavits from the Bureau. The Conmittee feels, therefore, that it is unacceptable in this instance merely to rely on sworn denials without an opportunity to examine and cross examine the relevant witnesses-ánd to examine primary source documents. Our investigation must command the confidence of the American people it it is to achieve its goals. quently, it will not be possible for the Committee to accept, • not to posite d Conse- as the Director suggests, that this issue be resolved by the taking of affadavits from the Bureau. After noting that the allegation that the Bureau of persons employed by it instigated violence is not new, the Director's letter of June 13, 1978, denied the Committee access to the files, referring to "overwhelming evidence disproving the...allegation." In support of that assertion, the committee is told that "The Memphis Office advised that these informants did not advocate nor take part in the planning of any riot." Next, our attention is drawn to the Department of Justice Task Force's conclusion, stated in two sentences of their report. NW 55244 DocId: 32989819 Page 23 --- ## Page 24 The, Honorable Griffin B. Bell Page •4 "There is no evidence that the activities of these informants related directly to DI. King. Moreover, there is no evidence that would suggest that these informants were connected in any way to the assassina- tion of DI. King. (HQ 134-11867; 170-1841; 170-1922; 170-2530, and 157-4885)." From the Connittee's perspective, this "evidence" is hardly overwhelming. But that is largely beside the point. Without access to this evidence, it cannot be evaluated. Mere denials and conclusions cannot be accepted in lieu of records and sworn testimony. The Committee has completed the compilation of an oral record of the events that trán- spired in Memphis during March and April, 1968. This record consists of interview notes, testimony under oath before the Committee, and witness depositions. It is now imperative that these witnesses' current recollections be compared with the contemporaneous written record, particularly that con- tained in the Iciciant informant files. Throughout the effort to resolve this issue, the Com- mittee has attempted to move with restraint. It was not until our field interviews with former members of the Invaders and people present in Memphis at the time of the March 28, 1968 march revealed: that the Invaders were in fact a proximate cause of the violence, and 2) that it is universally believed that the Invader followers who caused the violence were paid FBI operatives that we requested access to any informant files. By that time, the Committee had reviewed the Sanitation Strike, Invaders, King and Southern Charter Leadership Con- ference files. It had also reviewed the Memphis Police Department files, and it had interviewed their undercover operative within the Invader organization. The Committee had initially hoped that the answers it Lusought would be contained in the Headquarters files. are, as noted above, largely administrative, containing only general information on informant reliability, payment of fees, and justification for continuing the informant's status. They do not contain agent instructions; they do not reflect in detail the working relationship between agents and informants. From the Committee's perspective, therefore, the information contained in the Headguarter files proved inadequate. Sub- sequent interviews with current and former agents have also revealed that: 1) the Memphis Field Office had prior know- ledge of impending violence (a fact memorialized in FBI documents) and 2) members of the Invaders were observed by NW 55244 DocId: 32989819 Page 24 --- ## Page 25 The Honorable Griffin B.

Keuch Special Counsel to the Attorney General 'House Select Committee on Assassinations Request for Memphis Field Office Files RLK:mal By letter dated July 5, 1978, directed to the Attorney General, the Select Committee has repeated its request for access to the Memphis, Tennessee, field office informant files concerning informants in the Invaders, a black militant group It is my judgment, as Special Counsel for the Attorney General, that it is necessary to provide access to excised versions of the requested files to Committee Chief Counsel, Professor G. Robert Blakey. I have made an oral request to have the files processed and this is to reguest that this task be completed as soon as possible and that Professor Blakey be provided access to the processed files. As you are aware, we haä, by letter of June 13, 1978, previously refused • the request of the Committee. I concurred in that action and believe it was correct based on the fact that, in our view, the only need demonstrated by the Committee for access to the field office files rested on naked allega- tions which had been denied in the past. In the Committee's latest demand, presented by the July s letter, the Committee, on pages 3, 4, and 5 of the letter, outlines in greater detail the justification for its request. While it may be our judg- ment that the information set forth by the Committee is not sufficient to substantiate the allegations made about the 55427160 activities of the informants at issue, it is equally clear that we can no longer take the position that the Committee's legislative and investigative needs are based on pure specula-h tion and/or naked allegations. That being the case, the limited access outlined above should be granted in response to the Committee's request. I am, of course, aware of the deep concern held by the Bureau concerning any indication that we are willing to disclose informants or release information which will lead to their disclosure. I share that concern and my decision in this matter has been reached only with the greatest possible consideration of that concern. l6f-2127-91 cc: The Attorney General Keuch Calhown DEC•2: 1978 Chrgky U.S. Savings Bonds Regularly 0т sbe Payroll Savings Plan. i. CHEN Mistown --- ## Page 27 -2. In addition to the further justification submitted by the Committee for their request, I believe there are other factors which support my conclusion that we should provide the limited access discussed. An important factor is that, : if the response to the Committee's latest request is a complete refusal, the Committee will issue subpoenas for the informant files. The only way we could respond to such subpoenas other than by providing the requested information would be to seek to have them enjoined by a federal court. While this type of confrontation may ultimately be necessary during the course of the Committee's proceedings, it does not appear wise to take this step without first offering limited access. This is so for two reasons. First, in contrast to the limited access we will offer the Committee, a subpoena would request access to the informant files by the entire staff thereby increasing the possibility that the informants could be compromised through the knowleage of the members of the staff who have studied the other files In the matter in greater detail and, in any case, would broaden. the number of individuals who could learn the identity of the informants. Secondly, if we are to prevail in the litigation, a possibility which, in my judgment, is remote given the subject matter of the Committee's inquiry and the allegations and Information that formed the basis of their request, we can only win if we show a reasonable posture to the court. An absolute refusal to comply would not do that. An attempt to meet the Committee's needs while protecting our interests by providing limited access to excised files would do that. Further support for the procedure of providing Iimited access stems from the very nature of the Committee's investi- gation. Unlike the normal Congressional investigation and/or lawsuit, the Bureau and the Department of Justice are targets or subjects of the investigation. Under such circumstances our obiigation to be as cooperative as reasonably possible with the congress is obvious. The public conception of our cooperation is going to be a very important factor in the acceptance or lack of acceptance of the Committee's efforts and determinations in these investigations. To put ourselves in a posture of confrontation with the Committee over this particular issue without first attempting some accommodation of competing interests would only serve ¿ to revive all the allegations and criticisms of us and our actions concerning the assassinations. cNW%55244 Docid: 32989819 Page 27 --- ## Page 28 -. ; •3. It is regrettable but inescapable that the timing of this demand by the Committee makes our decisions much more subject to public comment and criticism. The present interest in, and repeated stories related to, the allegations in the case of Mr. Rowe makes this one of the worst times to come to .a.point of absolute refusal in the face of the justifica-: tions advanced by the Committee. If and when we reach the ultimate confrontation over the possible disclosure of informants, our position will be extremely strengthened by any steps we can take consistent with our needs to protect our informants to provide the Committee with necessary evidence and information. That balance, at least at this stage, is best struck by offering the limited access under discussion. Since the Committee's last request was directed personally to the Attorney General by the Chairman of the Committee, the Committee is preparing for public hearings in the near future, and has delayed issuing subpoenas for these materials based on my representations that we were making immediate efforts to . respond, we should not delay our response to the committee. Therefore, I am sending a copy of this reguest to the attorney General. If the Bureau disagrees with my determination and decides not to comply with my decision, your response should be directed to the Attorney General so this matter can be resolved quickly. --- ## Page 29 TO OPTIONAL PORM MO, 10 JULY JOTS KDITION Q8A YAMA (AS CPRI 108-188 ¿ UNITED STATES GO .MENT Memorandum The Director Federal Bureau of Investigation JUL 2 4 1978 DATR: FROM SUBJECT: Habert i Keuch Special Counsel to the Attorney General House Select Committee on Assassinations Request for Memphis Field Office Files RLK:mal By letter dated July 5, 1978, directed to the Attorney General, the Select Committee has repeated its request for access to the Memphis, Tennessee, field office informant files concerning informants in the Invaders, a black militant group It is my judgment, as Special Counsel for the Attorney General, that it is necessary to provide access to excised versions of the requested files to Committee Chief Counsel, Professor G.

In rexponse to your request in referenced letter, Memphis Field Office Illes of five informants, who reported on activitias of the Invaders, are being processed by the Congressional Inguiry Unit (CIU), Records Management Division, FBI Beadquarters (PBIHQ).

Based on this concern and belleving your position to be sound, a representative of the CIU, subseguent to receipt of referenced letter, informally furnished you a list of points against making these files available. On July 27, 1978, you advised that you revlewed our arguments and found them persuasive, but stili bellevea the decision as outlined in referenced letter was the best course of action in this matter. However, you desired to use our arguwents in responding to letter to the Attorney General from Congressman Louis B. Stokes, Chalrman, ISCA, dated July 5, 1978. You asked that this information be furnished you on a formal basis. In accordance with your request, the following points derived from decisions at FBIHQ and a review of Congressman 'Stokes' letter datea July 5, 1978, are submitted: 66-2177 - 90 1119 270 SEE NOTE PAGE 6.

Keuch Special Counsel to the Attorney General =. As stated in our letter to Congiessman Stokes dated June 13, 1978, 11 It becomes general knowledge that FBI informant files are being opened to outside parties, Informant privilege is threatened and our informant developuent program can be severely hampered. Despite the ESCA'& statement in the letter from Congressman Stokes that It is not seeking the informants' identities at this time, this 18 not the central issue in point. The central lague 1u the principle of opening a field office informant file to outside parties. 2. The USCA was provided accass to FBIHQ files concerning informants who reported on the Invaders. Although the ESCA feels these were administrative in nature, the policy of the Bureau at that time rogulred that all information of a substantive nature be furnished to fBIHQ. Data such as informant's travel, anount of payments and a summary of background material are examples of such infor- mation provided to FBIHo. Therefore, FBIHQ feels that Its files contain significant information concerning the operation of any informant. 3. All information of substance concerning the Invaders organization furnished by these informants would be reported in the Invaders file at EBIHQ. The uSCA has had access to this file since December, 1977. The ESCA has shown no Interest in reviewing the Memphis Field Office file concerning the Invaders, a file which would contain all reports from informants covering the Invaders. would appear logical to examine this file in detall prlor to pressing fox files of informants, none of whom were even members of the Invaders at the time of or prior to King's assassination. Review of FBIQ informant files nas restricted to MI. G. Robert Blakey, Chief Counsel and Director, ESCA, and not to his staff because, since the staff had access to the Invaders file at FBIHQ, their knowledge of the organization could possibly result in idantification of ¿niormants through a cross checking of the ílles. Subsequent to MI. Blakey's review of the informant files, the FBIKQ Invaders file was delivarad to the lisca on July 6, 1978. don" -2- NW 55244 DocId: 32989819 Page 33 --- ## Page 34 HI. Robert I.

Blakey himself has access to the substantive Invaders file, and, similarly, his possible new knonlodge could result In sourco identification if allowed access to field office files. on July 11 and 18, 1978, all live Iniormante ware contacted to determine it they would permit disclosure of their identification to the HSCA. All declined. E. Following his review of FBIHe files on May 19, 1978, Mr. Blakey told agents present that he found no evidence that any of our informants acted an "agent provocateuis." He furnished notes taken during his raview to FBIHQ and requested the notes be maintained by the FBI for possible future use in writing into his final report a paragraph to the effect he had found no evidence that any of those informants had Instigated violence. He made no reguest at that time to review field office informant Illes. It is possible that MI. Blakey is satisfied with the review of FBIHQ Intormant filas. 7. The FBI desires to maintain consistency with regard to our position in this matter. In our letter to Congrossman Stokes datad June 13, 1978, access to these files was denied. This position was decided upon after careful deliberation between interested divisions in the IBi and, in our view, the HSCA has proviued no basis to cause a change of this position. Providing the uscA access to iield office informant files, although excised, could serve as an undesirable precedent for other outside groups to review such files. 9. Because of the large number of axcisions In these fides to protect the identities or intormants,. It is unlikely the HSCA will be satisfied with its review, 1í grantaõ. It will probably ask for fewer excisions and/ ot the identities of the informants. -3- 'INW 55244 DocId: 32989819 Page 34 i --- ## Page 35 MI. Robert 1.

Pinally, the lotter from Congressman Stokes dated July 5, 1918, has been analyzed at EBIla and, generally. it is not believed it containg additional Intornation giving substance to the allegation that our informants acted as "agent provocateurs." specifically, the following points are noted: a. The letter states (pages 1 and 4) that the #SCA had access to relevant Bureau personnel and has conducted. extensive interview among those who may also be subjects of this aspect of the Committee's investigation. The Committee claima noad to revlew the files to determine if the written Iecord supports or refutes the oral testimony on the relevant questions. However, the letter offers no specific results of intervions of personnel or othars concerning the basic allogation. It has not identified any specific Individual who has furnished information bearing on this allegation. b. The letter states (page 4) that based on Liald Interviens with former members of the Invaders and people present in Memphis at the time of the march, the "Invaders were in fact a proximate cause of the violonce." This 18 not new inforuation. The FBINQ file concerning the Invaders and sedia reports issued then and more recently verily the Invaders culpability ragarding violence during the march. The lettar also states (page 4) that "It 18 universally balleved that the Invader followers who caused the violance Mera paid PBI operatives." The FBI considers this statement a swasping generalization and again the Committee offers no specifio identities of Individuals who believed those causing violence were FBI informants. Other than articles appearing in "Neusday" magazine in 1976 and, more recently, statements by lark lane and possibly former nembers of the Invaders, who else shares this bellet? The letter fxom Congressman Stokes identifies no one. c. This letter states (page 1) that the "Mamphis Fold office had prior knowledge of impending violence la fact memorialized in IBI documenta)."

However, as shown In our silas, IBI knowledge of impending violence was based on information from varlous informants and officials, resulting from a tense situation brought about by the Sanitation Horkers Strlko, all of which made knowledge of Impending violence rather obvious. The letter states (pages 4 and 5) that "nembers of the Invaders were observed by agents of the FBI exhorting the crowd and readying weapons from signposts la fact later testified to under oath by these agents)." A Iaviow of the Invaders and informant files at FBIlll disclosad that sone of the informants were nambers of the Invaders at the time violence occurred. Only one of these five informants was ever a member and that was subraguent to the assassination. The letter statos (page 5) that "Professor Blakey's review of the files revealed that at least one informant subraguently joined a nore violence-prone organization.* It i8 assuned this statement 18 to demonstrate the informant's propensity for violence. However, the FBI belleves that king's death and the rioting that followed Intensified racial feeling and tended to make some organiza- tions more violent.

LIRING"3 was told that although TORMET was trusted by collaborated with him, he represented & different organization. LIRING-3 was also told that although he had in the past been receiving between 3,000.00 and 3,560.00 Mexican pesos feit that peo Mexican pesos per monsis (s woula tea fair salary as this stage of the operation. TORMET explained that he was aware Of LIRING-3ªs past activities directed against tre Cubans, and the resultant problems which had arisen. It was explained that My TORrET'S interest was in Central American revolutionary activitiese In under to deal with LIRING-3's virtual "burned" status with the Eue Cubans was directed to tell any Central American contacts that no longer trusted him, and that he tnerefore was no longer directly involvec with any revolutionary groups or activities. Nonetheless, LIRING-3 was directed to offer any assistance which the friendships which he had made with Far members while in prison in Guatemala. could learn whether LIRING-? nes complete i blacklisted in all revolutionary circles because of his proulems with the Cubans or whether he could provide information of value. LIRING-3 throughout the meeting seemed in good spirits and he seemed to accepi the turnover without any qualms. he pointed out that the Cubans had lost trust in him only after he had been given various tasks to do by RüNTON which he had known and warned in advance would cause suspicion. It was agreed that LIRING-3's troubles were not of his own making, but that at this stage all that could te done was to attempt to circumvent the existing problems. LIRING-3 was given a Station non-attributable telephone number and ((dentity) to set up meetings Only the meeting time was to be set by phone, and a prearranged pickup point was decided upon. It should be noted TORMET"s OP vehicle was used for this first meeting with LIRING-3, which means it was of course exposed to LIRING-3. subsequent to this meeting, LIRING-3 never initiated contact with the Station might have lost the ne telephone number he was given to use with TORMET, there is no he ever again tried to call ROWTON, who was in Mexico for at least three weeks after the l July turnover to TORMET. The Station assumes that for whatever reasons, WIRING-3 has in effect terminated himself. the fact that LIRING-3 was denounced in Cuban official circles as a RVROCK agent, the fact that LIRING-3 in over two years was never very productive and now the apparent decision of LIRING-3 to break contact--it has been decided to make no effort to reestablish contact with him.

PARTICIPANTS: DRISCOLL, VERBE, FRASCIS and Laurenc PIPER (C/WI/2/G) . 1. LIRING/4 is still very concerned about the im prisonment of LIRING/3. LIRING/4 will not travel to Cuba until she is assured of the defaty no prores. has enoroughly discussed L/3 with L/4 and has pointed out the danger of attempting to intercede on L/3's behalf through business contacts. L/4 contacted the Cubans for assistance but they stated there was nothing they could do. They have assisted L/4 with small amounts of noney. L/3 has devised an open code which he uses in letters to let 1/4 know how he is. The letters are grim reading because L/3 keeps stating he is unable to hold out much longer. Fellow prisoners have warned L/4 not to let the Guats transfer him to another prison as this usually ends in the prisoner being shot "while escaping." One good result from the continued imprisonment of L/3 is that both he and L/4 are furthering their bona fides with the Cubans. i 2. L/4 is in telephone contact with the Third Séere- tary of the Vexican Enbassy in Guaterala. He has made inquiries about L/3 with the Guats on behalf of Foreign Minister CARRILLO Flores. A few weeks ago (prior to the assasination of the U.S. Ambassador) the Third Secretary told L/4 there vere three possibilities, the first which he considered out of the question was that L/3 would be shot, the secord was that i/4 would come to trial and be released within a few weeks, and the third was that he woule receive a sentence of two or departing three years. Just prior to Mexico on this current trip, DRISCOLL attempted to atrange a meet with k/4 in the usual means by slipping a typed note under her apartment door. She did not make the meeting. DRISCOL later learned through phone tap material that she called the Cuban Fabassy and informed them the SECRET 101- 98501 --- ## Page 13 C-STET Mexican authorities had notified her she was being fined 500 pesos. The purpose of the payment was not identified. Later sbe made a call from the Cuban Eabassy which indicated she was staying there until she could get the funds to pay the Mexicans. DRISCOLL, therefore, concluded she had not returned to her apartment and did not get the note to make their meeting. DRISCOLL said SUAREZ (the visiting Cuba Cultural type) has a key to L/3's apartment and night see the note but would be unable to identify the sender since DRISCOLL uses a meaningless scott as a signature. DRISCOLL now plans upon his return to Nexico to recontact L/4 to get the latest 1130= -1=16à dI the Mexican Charge is unable to obtain L/3's ir behalf of the lexicans and if it appears he will be held indefinately: DRISCOLL wants to explore the possibility our doing something to get L/3 out so the operation become active again. In the above regard L/3 was discussed with a high enough contact with the Guats (ESM:JOR/20-Presidents brother) to arrange to get L/3 and his Merican cospatriot oul of prison and back to Mexico with a minimun security risk. DRISCOLL said he would initiate the cable upon his return to Mexico after he has talked with L/4. DRISCOLL felt he should possibly travel to Guaterala and have a preliminary neet with nakes any all out effort. to officially request Li3's release. If, after seeing L/3 DRISCOLL is satis- thar L/3 is still an ally and is willing to cooperate after his release tben DRISCOLL belieres we should attempt to J intercede with ESNAJOR/20. 20 will arrange the release so that all involved believe it at the request and urging of the Mexican Govern- DRISCOLL, however, would like L/3 and Lia to belteve he (DRISCOLL) had something to do with the release in order to raise his status with both for the sake of future operation- tasks he will levy on them.

RONTON has kept away from LIEINGA since LIRING-3's release Although LIRING 4, following her father's death (see MEXICO CITY-0125), may visit her mother in PBRUMEN, she has no particular love for LIRING or the PERUMEN authorities.

I/3 irvited bim in but asked bin not to discuss anythire sensitive in the presence of bis wife. Alter about ten minutes of chit chat in the apartient, 1/3 and the Guatemalan, sho gave bis nane sliply as "Rómulo", went to a nearby restaurast to tali privately. 2e According to LIRIIG/3, the Guatemalan stated that he had been ordered by FAR to maintain contact with I/3. When queried by I3 regarding the Fumberto González Vega whor he had met previnnely: "D'= c9=i=icaa, "Oh, you mean 'El Gato' - he's a good element, but he dill not beir your FAR contact. I have been entrusted with that mission." "Rómulo" also stased that be knew francisco lara well and had worked with biz in Guatenala City some time ago until lara was arrested. "Rómuio" added thet unfortunately Iara's nother had betraged him to toe police and he barely escaped arrest at that time. "Romulo" confired that Lara had been under a cloud as car as his superiors were concerned and bad mase the 11l-feted trip in order to attempt to clear bimself of charges against bim. 3. When IIRING/3 told "Romulo" that he had been in touch with the TIRING office since his return, the latter exelsined, "But what have the LIniNG people to do with us?" Iris gave 113 the definite Impression that "Rómulo" binself was not In touch with & PEZUMN representative la Metico City, and, In any case, did not like the iIrING establishment. *. He then asked I/3 to five him a sunmary report of the arrest and detention. I/3 told Rowton that be balked at this at first, protesting to "Rómulo" that he had alresdy given the detaile to the León 3arrios brothera and "Cebollito" who he was sure had passed on the report to the FAR in Guatemala. iber "Romulo" explained that be would appreciate en oral report on the spot since he was not fully inforred beczuse of commurications problens, LIRIrG/3 told Rowton that he went over the whole episode for "Rómulo's" benefit. "Rómulo" then asked to see LIRIFG/3 again at 1100 on 21 December to continue tbeir discussion. He prorised to neet 1/3 on the street in front of his apartment house at the apfolated time. 5. LIRING/3 continued to Rowton that nuch to bis surprise and indignation be received a letter on the following day (20/12/68) fron Marth the nother --- ## Page 65 2. of the leon Barrios brothers, in which, snong other things, she stated that "the nan on the bacycle", which I/3 explained to Horton seant Carlos Persabal had writter a letter contalaing grave charges against LIRI'G/3. The letter, which I/3 read aloud so acirton, vent on to assure I/3 that these charges were not believed but constituted a source of annoyance to the writer's frienãs. 6. IIRING/3 continued to Rowton that be felt so indigrart and shocked at this unpleasant development that he decided to see the Chief LIKING and have It at with bin. L/3 explained that since the Chief IRING is on very friendly tarns with the father-in-law of Persabal he might be aware of tte letter and even possibly ercourgaged Persabal to write it. I/3 told Borton that be then got in touch with LIRING/2 by telephone andi made a date to meet nim at the LikliG establistent at 0930 on 21/12/62, shen he arrived a the gate at that time he was told that IIRING/2 bad not jet arriveed. ifter a wait, of some twenty minutes, LIRINS/2 appeared but asked LIRING/3 to wait a little longer since he was very busy. Alter another annoying wait, LIRING/9 appeared instead of iIRLiG/2 and talred with Ilaiso/3 on the patio. LIRING/3 expiained that he wanted urgently to talk with the Chlel LIBING slice sonething had come up with regard to Persebal. He reninded LIRIO/S that he originelly had exppressed a desire to have a face-to-lace confrontation with Persabal in tbe LIRING office so that he could present bis report on the arrest in sis presence. Wking/9, according to timiss, brusted tois off again with the comment, "But as I told you before, you're making a mountain of a colestll. Iou're exaggerating the whole business." 7. LIRING/3 told horton that be then took out Martha's letter and insisted that LIRING/9 read it. The latter expressed amazerent at the revelation of Persabal's action but did not agree with LIRING/3 that the Chief LIBING would be able to shed ligat on it. LIRING/3 then told LIRING/9 that be did not like the gates that everyone seemed to be playing with bim, and asked IIRING/9 point blank what 1t was thet rotivated his to ask for a writter report of the arrist and, after 1/3 cosplled with the request, to drar bis feet. I/3 continued that he felt he had been frank with the WRING office, bereas on the otber band they were not honest with bim in telling bin bat they thought of him.

In view of the above, the Station instructed ROWTOY to ask LIRING3 to refrain from attempting to use ZEPEDA to obtain a "bootleg" copy of the LIRING letter to the Mexican Communist Party.

## Page 1 1104-10423-10000 CONFIDENTIAL 24 May 1976 MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, Information and Privacy Staff SUBJECT : Release of CIA Information Contained In Warren Commission Related Documents REFERENCE : DO/SS 75 - 1051, dated 19 December 1975 Attached is a copy of a CI Staff memorandum dated 7 April 1976 documenting a modification of the conclusions reached in Reference con- cerning the release of FBI reports relating to the Warren Commission. The decision on Oswald focument No. 282 will be made by the OGC/CI Staff group that is currently reviewing these holdings. 16/ Charles A. BrI88S Charles A. Briggs Chief, Services Staff Attachment: Memorandum as stated cc: OGC/Mr. Zeibell FL, CONFIDENTIAL --- ## Page 2 13-00000 COL ONLY 7 April 1976 DDO/PIC Re request 3/26/76 from FBI to IPS to confirm our previous concurrence in release of Warren Commission Document #1247: FBI Report dated 22 June 1964, at Dallas, Texas, Subject: Lydia Dymitruk, Internal Security - R. As a result of a December 1975 request from the FBI for a determination on FBI reports in the Oswald case held at NARS, some unknown person in Cl Staff advised DDO/PIC that FBI report identified as Warren Commission Document #1247 could be declassified. (See FBI memorandum dated 12 December 1975. ) This declassification of Warren Commission Document #1247 did not take place and FBI, on review, came to the decision that it might not be wise to declassify the entire report. I have this date concurred in the suggestion of Mr. Howard, FOl/FBl, that FBI not release this report at NARS since the source of most of the information is the Mr. Howard indicated he would record the fact that the CIA source document for this information is in our Oswald release. For Your Information: Declassification of Warren Commission Document #1247 (based on Warren Commission Document #844) was authorized as reflected in Mr. Briggs' memorandum of 19 December 1975 to IPS. (Warren Commission Document #844 -- CIA Memorandum to J. Lee Rankin of Warren Commission, dated 24 April 1964 -- was not processed against the Oswald 201 and appears neither in the released nor denied list of documents. A check with NARS reflects that Warren Commission Document #844 was authorized for release in its entirety earlier in 1975.) --- ## Page 3 13-00000 . - 2 AL OES ONLY The same information is reflected in the Oswald package as Item #282 (partial declassification) identified as: CSCI to FBI dated 22 April 1964, Subject: Assassina- tion of President John F. Kennedy - Bio Info on Lydia Dimytruk. Since Warren Commission Document #844 is declassified in its entirety, it appears Oswald Document #282 should be con- sidered for declassification in its entirety. .. dine E.

Again in 1961 a request for Security Information (CIA) on UTIANSKY stated that the Havana files indicated that one David UTIANSKY was/is a "militant Communist." In June 1963 WAVE 9575 (IN 56919) dated 11 June 1963, reported information from AMҐURVY-4 and listed David UTIANSKY as the sub-source. In the cable UTIANSKY was described as "old guard Communist funding agent of Cuban Communist Party in the 30's and 40's, NOW SUSPECTED KGB AGENT!

## Page 1 110410256-10219] -----= • -.1-d- MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD 27 September 1965 SUBJECT : WILCOTT, James B. Jr. FILE NUMBER: #109301 Reference is made to Mr. BUNN's report of interview of the Subject In Miami dated 28 July 1965. Although the Subject had been summoned by cable on 20 July, no reply had been received as of 27. July. Upon coordinating with Jerry MULLANE SO/WE division on this date I was advised that Subject had arrived in his office at that very moment. Mr. MULLANE sent him forthwith to Room 4 E 58 where the Subject was interviewed by the writer. 2. The Subject advised that he had arrived at the Headquarters ared early last evening and was staying at the Park Arlington Motel at Arlington Blyd. and U. S. 50. His room number is 205-A and he may be reached on 5244000. Subject further advised that he is ostensibly an employee In Miami, Florida. 3. I reminded the Subject that at the time that he was inter- viewed by Mr. BUNN he had volunteered to take a polygraph examination on any of the information which he had provided. Subject replied that he recalled this very well and that he was perfectly willing to take this examination. 4. I asked the Subject if he had been in contact with any of the CIvil Rights Workers about whom he had reported previously, since 301ng to Florida. I asked him most specifically in connection with Ray ROBINSON and Alex PASSIKLOFF. He replied that he had not seen them since the New York trip in April of this year. He qualified that state- ment to this extent wherein he stated that ROBINSON had called his home ipo ..... --- ## Page 2 Said me too in to on several occasions after April 25 but Subject had already departed. he explained that his wife joined him in Florida approximately one week after his arrival there. ROFINSON had informed his wife that he was caning out to visit her, however, he never showed up. 5. With regard to PASSIKLOFF, Subject states that he is vague and may have talked to Alex on the telephone on one occasion prior to his departure from Florida. He believes that on the one occasion when he spoke to Alex. Alex mentioned his classes on labor unlons, and the subject said he put him off by saying that he would be in touch with him later. The Subject stated that on the several occasions prior to his departure for-Florida he avaided talking to Alex because... of Mr. SHROUDI's admonition against becoming any further Involved with these people. 6. With respect to his midnight trip to New lork in the campany of Alex PASSIKLOFF and Al SMITH, I asked the Subject what his wife's resction was to this rather hasty decision. The Subject replied that his wife is usedto his mandering and did not question bin nor express any surprise in any wy. He explained that his wile is more the home body and more Introverted than he, where as he is rather gregarlous. The Subject described his marriage as a happy one and states that he and his vile and six year old boy live In perfect barmony. T. I next questioned the Subject about his visit to the Corcoran street address where he and Alex were apparently the only white persons. The Subject reminded me that the wife of the home owner of that address was a walte wounn. He was never introduced to his host and hostess and never heard their names. 8. I asked the Subject how he knew that marijuana was being smoked during this get together. He stated that Ray ROBINSON told bim they were smoking "pot". Ray offered him one but he refused and used ing got to say o as an excuse that he had once tried it but had become 111. Although Ray was the only person whom he saw smoling, it was obvious from the number of hand rolled cigarette butts in the ash tray that others had also smoket it. He described the meeting as being made up of little ! CREST! --- ## Page 3 14-00000 groups of people sitting around on the floor who paid no particular attention to him. Alex talked to him about labor organization and advised him that he conducted classes and Subject could join his class. Alex did not say where or when these classes were held and Subject did not pursue it any farther. Subject states that he had not drunk mich at this time possibly four or five drinks, however, he was interested In what was going on and purposely held back on the liquor. 9. From Corcoran Street he accompanied Alex and Ray to Alex's much as one hour there and had one drink going from there to jazz land on 14 Street. Wille at Alex's room he saw that Alex had numerous copies of the WORKER displayed. Alex told him that he had all kinds of ltere- he could provide that person with the particular literature to his liking. agree with Moscow or Peking, however, he had worked for the Party all his life and bad been jailed for them on occasion. 10. Subject was next questioned about the events leading up to his arrest with Ray ROBINSON in November 1964. The Subject stated that on that particular evening Ray had Invited him to his brother's home to meet his brother and sister-in-law. The Subject does not remember where this house is located. He states that the brother is named Robert ROHINSON and he is an employee of the District of Columbia government. He is reported to be a radio technician servicing radios on cars owned by the District of Columbia. During the course of the hour or so that he apend there there was no talk of civil rights. Ray had told him that his brother 1s not a civil rights worker and Ray 18 constantly trying to recrult him. 11. From the ROBINSON house Subject and Ray went to the Subject's home in Forrestville. While they were there the Subject consumed several scotches while Ray talked with Subject's wife. Ray showed her some draft notes he had compiled for a book he was proposing to write. He was trying to interest Subject's wife in organizing and assembling it for him. According to the Subject this proposed book was although autoblographical in nature it described his experiences In the civil rights movement. --- ## Page 4 14-00000 12. The Subject states that when he went to drive Ray home the liquor suddenly hit him and he stopped the car. He moved over to perndt Ray to drive. The Subject belleves that the scotch on top of the bourbon he'd had at the brother's house coupled with the lack of sleep the night before put him out. Subject was very vague concerning the circumstances surrounding his arrest. He vaguely recalls a police officer talking to him and recalls being placed in the patrol vagon. The Subject denies fighting with Ray and stated that Ray was pushing and shoving him in an effort to rouse him. Ray told him that he wanted to take him somewhere for coffee to help him sober up. Subject claims that at first he thought perhaps Ray had done something which antagonized the officer thereby causing their arrest. He stated that he called the officer a day or so later to ask what had actually happened and learned that it was the officer's impression that they had been fighting. The officer stated he locked them up for his own protection. 13. The Subject was again reminded that he was remiss in his duties In not reporting this at the time. The Subject stated in order to justify his failure to report that he felt it was an unjustified arrest. He explains this by saying that had he been driving the car in his Intoxicated condition it would have been another matter. 14. With regard to Subject's picketing activity, the Subject stated that they had spent some time picketing the White House with a group from All Souls Unitarrian Church. He states the nature of this protest was the execution of the Reverend REEVE a clergyman who lost his life In Alabama. He stated that he carried a sign bearing the legend which said, "stop brutality in Alabana." 15. With regard to his contact with the ROTONDIS, JACKSON, PASSIKI.OFF, ROBINSON and MONSOUNIS the Subject stated positivily that there has been no contact with these people either in person, by telephone, or by mail since early April prior to his Florida assignment. 16. Subject states that he has not participated in any civil rights activity of any kind since his assignment to Florida. 17. The Subject was next asked if he had been in contact with AL SMITH, the Howard University student since the New York escapade. He replied that he has not seen nor heard from hig gince the drive back to Washington. --- ## Page 5 14.0000 20. With respect to the use of drugs, the Subject statos thet ha has never used drugs in any form. 21. With regard to his drinking, Subject stated that aside fr the lovember Incident which culminated in his arrest he has never duri to such an extent herein his faculties vere Imperrea. 22. The Subject was again asked in reyard to any contact risi Alez either Irmediately before or after his arrival in Florida and is statsd that but for the one pione call he has noi been in touch sit!! nim.

Upon leaving the arca the Subject states ha has used his mother's hone as a forarding address. He states thai this is in care of his brother-in-law Clifford NOSHCR on Brinkarnor are. in Utica. 23. In ansver to the question as to whether or not the Subject entertains any syrmathy for Corminism he raplied that ine has nons. 27. The Subject ras next asked if he had ever been the recipiens of a rocruite approach by Alex o1 anyone else in the civil rights or Corunist Party roverent. He replied thet during the driza back rou New fork he mentioned leaving the govement end going into business to: himsalf. He stated that at the tin he ras thinking of opening a --- ## Page 6 14-00000 book store. Alex is supposed to have said, "don't leave your government job, you are just where we want you in the Pentagon." Subject stated that his reply. to this was just a laugh. The subject claims that at this point he had adopted a rather frivolous attitude toward Alex. He explained further that he considers him dangerous. By this he does not mean that he was personally afraid of Alex, but that he recognized him as a revolutionary. The Subject quoted ROBINSON as saying that Alex worked against "nick" and Ray sighted an incident where Alex kept trying to stir up the looters in Brooklyn, New York in 1964 when snick was trying to calm them down. Subject likewise stated that during the trip Alex had bragged that he inaited riots in Brooklyn, Jersey City, Philadelphia, and perhaps Cleveland. 25. The Subject next told me of a session with Alex in the homo- sexual's apartment.in New York City. Subject identifies these as Russ BATTLE and John BROOKS, 160 West 85 Street, Apt. 6-A. He stated that In this apartment he also met a young man named Weldon YOUNG Of 436 Street, Nicholas Ave, New York City. Subject described him as being either a student of pharmacology or of medicine at & New fork City school. The Subject claimed that at one point both homosexuals and he told Alex that they were not in sympathy with Communism, where upon Alex became very angry and finally waxed sullen. Subject was next asked for his empression of the WE DuBois group in New York. He stated that it was clear to him that this organization was dominated or heavily infiltrated by CP members. He states that Alex circulated throughout the hall talking to various groups and paid little attention to him. The Subject was approached by an elderly well-dressed negro man who obviously commended great respect from other members of this organization. Inis man, whose name he did not learn, spoke to him at length the tennor of which was that the United States is the aggressor In Viet Nam. 26. At this point the Subject was excused and told to report back to this office at 900 hours on 28 September. Daniel A. Cullen mks ---

Belin, Executive Director [Phone: 456-2767] Mr. James A. Wilderotter Associate Deputy Attorney General Department of Justice 10th & Constitution Avenue Washington, D. C. 20530 Dear Mr. Wilderotter: As you know, we have been checking on certain allegations that the CIA was a conspirator in the assassination of President Kennedy. We have talked to Agent Shaneyfelt of the FBI and have received a summary Bureau report on its investigation to date into such allegations. We now request certain additional assistance from the Bureau as follows: 1. We enclose an additional 21 photographs of E. Howard Hunt, reportedly taken during the period 1957-1966. In addition, we expect to be able to send to you very shortly additional photographs of Frank Sturgis, taken in the early 1960's. We would like to have a thorough examination made to com- pare these photos of Hunt and Sturgis with the photos which the Bureau already has on file and which were taken in Dallas on November 22, 1963, as certain "derelicts" were being accompanied to the Dallas Police Department. 2. We have learned that E. Howard Hunt is approximately 5 feet 9 inches tall, and that Frank Sturgis is approximately 5. feet 11 inches tall. We would like to have on-site measurements and photographs taken at one or more of the scenes in Dallas shon on the November 22, 1963, photos to determine if the persons shown in those photos are persons of heights similar or dissimilar to Hunt and Sturgis. 50955 DorId: 32263469 Page 2 --- ## Page 3 - 2 - 3. When the foregoing has been completed, we will want to take a statement from Agent Shaneyfelt and such other Bureau personnel as may be involved in the making of these investigations. The enclosed photographs are the personal property of E. Howard Hunt. Copies should be made and the photos returned to us for eventual return to Mr. Hunt. The same will hold true for the forthcoming photos of Mr. Sturgis. Because our time is running very short, we ask that this request be expedited with the greatest possible speed. Thank you.

I reside at where am a housekeeper. 2. On ilovember 22, 1963, I was employed as a housekeeper by Mi. and Mrs. E. Howard Hunt, who then lived on Baltan Road in Sunner, Maryland with their four chilaren. 3. On that date Mrs. Hunt's now deceased Aunt Leonie (whose last name I cannot recall) was visiting the Munts as a house guest for a few days. She lived in Chicago. It may have been because of the aunt's visit or a "Teachers' Day" holiday that the children were all home from school in the aarly afternoon of that Friday. 4. Mr. Hunt was hone as well. He was writing a book and spent a good deal of time in the house.. Mrs. Hunt was home, too, and planned - with her aunt - to treat the three older children to a movie matinee. 5. Mrs. Hunt worked part-time at the Spanish Enbassy where one of her close associates was Veronica Moppet, who nas since married and departed the imbassy. 6 . . At about 2:15 P.M. as the two women and three children were preparing to go downton to the matinee, Veronica Moppet telephoned Hrs. Hunt to report that President Kennedy haü been shot.. I remener that all of us, including iir. and Hirs. Hunt, stood and stared at each other. I ran next door to ask the neighbors what had happened. A neighbor suggested I turn on the radio. iThen I went back in the liunt's house, Mir. aunt was turning on the TV set. 7. The first thing we heard on the TV was a newsman saying that it was now 45 minutes since the shot had been fired and they still did not now how bacly the President had been injured.

Olsen SUBJECT: Telephone Interview with E. Howard Hunt on March 7, 1975 I called Mx. Hunt at his residence in Miami, Florida, after first clearing the matter with his attorney, Mr. Snyder, of Baltimore. I asked Mr. Hunt about the apparent inconsistency between his des- cription to us of the circumstances under which he heard about the assassination of President Kennedy on November 22, 1963, and the letter from a former family maid, Mary Traynor. In particular, I called his attention to the fact that Mrs. Traynor, in her letter, advises that Mr. and Mrs. Hunt were at home when word of the assas- ination came in a telephone call from Veronica Moppett. This is inconsistent with Mr. Hunt's statement that he and Mrs. Hunt heard about the assassination on the car radio while they were in downtown Washington, D. C. Mr. Hunt stated that Mary Traynor seems to be in error. He says that it is entirely possible that there was such a call from Veronica Moppett, although he does not remember it. He says that a lot of people were calling each other with the news about the shooting of the President. He says it is also possible that this was the manner in which Mary Traynor heard about the shooting and that she is simply in error in her recollec- tion that the Hunts were then at home. Hunt stated that he thinks that the Sidwell Friends School dismissed classes for the day at 3:15 pm or 3:30 pm. He says it is possible that the school was dismissed earlier on the day of the assassination but he does not know for sure. He acknowledges that he and Mrs. Hunt would not have known about an earlier dismissal of classes in time to pick up Kevan unless Mrs. Hunt had called the school while they were enroute from downtown Washington, D. C. He does not recall making such a call himself, and he does not recall his wife making one. If classes let out at the normal time, he and Mrs. Hunt would have arrived at home, with their daughter Kevan, at about 3:30 or 3:45 pm. SECRET/SENSITIVE --- ## Page 17 SECRET/SENSITIVE - 2 = He states that, as he recalls it, there was some delay between the time of the death of the President and the time it was made public on radio and television. He does not recall whether the death of the President had been announced by the time he and Mrs. Hunt arrived at home and he turned on the television set. [The President was PrO- nounced dead at 2:00 pm, Eastern Standard Time. The exact time when the death was announced on radio or television has not been checked out. ] He recalls that when he was watching T.V. with his family after arriving at home, either Huntley or Brinkley made some statement to the effect that the assassination was an outgrowth of the hatred of far Right groups which was much in evidence in Dallas, as had been shown by a recent inci dent involving some one spitting into the face of Adlai Stevenson.: The implication made by Huntley or Brinkley was that the assassination had been accomplished by some one from the far Right Wing. This was before anything was known about the actual assassin.. Hunt remembers commenting to his family that it was just like Huntley or Brinkley to jump to the conclusion that the shooting had been by a Right Winger before any evi- dence was available concerning the assassin. Mr. Hunt will give us a detailed affidavit covering his non-involvement in the various assassinations. He states that he hopes to be able to avoid another trip back to Washington because he wants to spend as much time as possible with his eleven-year old daughter, who is very anxious about her father's impending imprisonment. Mr. Hunt states that he hopes to be assigned to a minimum security federal prison in Florida when he reports on March 25. With respect to the late-night television program on the evening of March 6, 1975, on ABC TV, Hunt states that he recorded the program on tape. It was an interview of Dick Gregory, Ralph Schoenman, and one of their companions. None of the above mentioned Hunt's name or that of Sturgis on the program. He describes the interviewer pressing Dick Gregory on whether he claims that the CIA was involved in the assassination of President Kennedy and Gregory responding that they were not stating that as a fact, but only that if there was any chance of CIA involvement, then the President's Com- mission should investigate it. Gregory and his companions showed the Zapruder film and the major thrust of the program was an emphasis on the snapping back of the President's head at the time of the fatal shot. of the interviewees (I believe he said it was Schoenman) stated that they did not really expect much from Olsen at the CIA Commission, but that they were going to "keep embarrassing him with the facts." Mr. Hunt feels that the press should give some publicity to Schoenman's background with the Bertrand Russell Foundation. RBO/vmr CC: D.

Belin, Executive Director March 6, 1975 File Robert Olsen Interview of March 4, 1975, with E. Howard Hunt and his Daughter, Lisa Hunt The interview commenced at approximately 4:00 PM and was conducted at 712 Jackson Place. Mr. Hunt is presently residing at 1245 N. E. 82th Street, Miami, Florida 33138. He has a silent telephone number of 305 758-6159. Lisa Hunt resides at 3406 Nimitz Road, Apt. A-2, Kensington, Maryland 20795. She has an unlisted telephone number which she declined to give us. She was born on March 9, 1951. The interview concerned allegations that Mr. Hunt was involved in the assassination of President John Kennedy and other public figures. He is avare of the public statements made by Dick Gregory and Ralph Schoenman in early February 1975 relative to his being involved in the assassination of President Kennedy. He states that most of the infor - mation that Mr. Gregory and Mr. Schoenman referred to is drawn from a book by Tad Szulc entitled, E. Howard Hunt, the Compulsive Spy. Hunt states that the book is saturated with errors. One of those errors is the claim that Hunt was Chief of Station in Mexico City in the fall of 1963. SECRET/SENSITIVE action against me and my family. RH 50955 Doc1d: 32263469 Page 18 --- ## Page 19 2 SECRET/SENSITIVE The Bay of Pigs Background Hunt states that in 1960 he was assigned to the job of organizing a "government in exile" for Cuba among Cuban exiles in Florida. The plan adopted by the National Security Council under President Eisenhower called for the formation and training of a brigade of Cuban exiles who would invade Cuba, establish a provisional government, receive recog- nition by the United States and overthrow the Castro government. The brigade had its own air force and was otherwise fully equipped by the. United States Government. The operation, however, was not supposed to be one involving United States Government participation. The venture was to involve training and launching from outside the United States. In connection with his political activity and the organization of the government in exile, Hunt went to Mexico in 1960. Shortly thereafter the Mexican government demanded that they leave and he returned to the United States. Richard Nixon, then Vice President, was working closely with the CIA on the project. When President Kennedy was elected in November 1960, he was briefed on the project and confirmed the plans, including the plan to provide air cover to the invading Cuban force. In early 1961, however, the Kennedy administration decided that the political organization of the Cuban government in exile would have to be broadened so as to include all elements of the Cuban society. Even radical leftwingers were to be included. Hunt was assigned the job of convincing the leaders of the Cuban community to accept such a broadening of the political structure of the government in exile. Hunt found this to be an impossible job to accomplish because the Cubans recruited to make up the invasion force had been promised that the government in exile would be solidly anti- Castro and anti-communist. Hunt asked to be relieved of his assignment because he thought it was an impossible one to achieve and he returned to Washington to work on propaganda and similar non-political aspects of the forthcoming invasion. Within twenty-four hours prior to the time that the Cuban brigade was to hit the beaches at the Bay of Pigs, President Kennedy made two critical decisions that affected the final outcome: he cancelled plans SECRET/SENSITIVE action against me and my family. NW 50955 DocId: 32263469 Page 19 FED --- ## Page 20 3 SECRET/SENSITIVE for an airstrike on Cuba which would have destroyed the six remaining combat planes that were available to Castro; second, the order that there be no air cover for the invading brigade. The result was that the invading force was chopped up while it was still in the water; the ships carrying the armored vehicles were sunk, as were the supply ships, and the troops were left abandoned on the shore. The remnant of the Cuban Air Force was entirely adequate to demolish the invasion fleet. Hunt concedes that he was bitter about the decisions made by President Kennedy, but he primarily blames Arthur Schlesinger, Adlai Stevenson and Robert Kennedy for advising the President to follow the course he chose. He particularly feels that the Cubans had been recruited with certain promises and that those promises were withdrawn at the last minute. Hunt says, in fact, that the decision not to make the airstrike and not to provide air cover was made after the invasion fleet had arrived at the point of no return, i. e., when radio communication to the invasion fleet had already terminated for security reasons. After the Bay of Pigs disaster, Hunt worked with Allen Dulles until early 1962 at which time Dulles was replaced as DCI. In January 1962, Hunt was assigned to the of the Deputy Directorate for Plans. He was involved in handling proprietaries His immediate superior was Stanley Gaines, who was either Chief of Operations or Executive Officer of the and Tracy Barnes, who was Division Chief (Barnes is a cousin by marriage to Vice President Rockefeller.) The proprietaries which Hunt was engaged in managing were [ J, which prepared news and radio broadcasts for foreign use; , which was engaged in publishing textbooks for Indian schools; the! which Hunt questions as to whether it had anve but served no apparent use during the years Hunt was with SECRET/SENSITIVE action against me and my family.

Hunt's assignment with lasted until the spring of 1965. During the period from January 1962 until 1965, he states that he never traveled to Mexico or any other Latin American country. His first trip to Mexico after 1961 was in 1970, when he traveled there for the Mullen Company after his retirement from the ClA. Hunt's Whereabouts on November 22, 1963 Hunt states that he had never been in Dallas until 1971, with a possible exception of a change of planes on his way to Mexico with his family in 1960. He does not recall whether that change of planes took place in Dallas of in Houston. In any event, he and his family never left the airport on that occasion. He has never had any contact, directly or indirectly, with Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby or anyone else thought to have been associated with the assassination of the President. He was never in New Orleans in 1963 and has never had anything whatever to do with the Fair Play for Cuba Committee, which he identifies as a communist organization. During the period from January 1962 to 1965, he traveled once or twice per year to India, two or three times per year to Paris, once or twice per year to London, and, during that period, he traveled two or three times to Rome. His only domestic travel in 1963 was between Washington and New York. All travel, whether domestic or international, was in his own name. Hunt states that in 1961 he used the pseudonym of Edward J. Hamilton in connection with his work on the Cuban project in Florida. With the exception of that pseudonym and the pseudonym he used on the identifi- cation papers provided him for the Ellsberg break in, he has never used a pseudonym.

DocId: 32263469 Page 21 FEB 5 1975 --- ## Page 22 5 SECRET/SENSITIVE 3 On November 22, 1963, he and his wife were driving on H Street at about 9th in Washington, D. C., when he turned the car radio on and learned that the President had been shot. He and Mrs. Hunt had been shopping in a Chinese grocery store in that immediate vicinity, immediately prior to their getting into the car. The Hunts lived at 5215 Balton Road, Sumner, Maryland. On their way home they drove to the Sidwell Friends school on upper Wisconsin Avenue and picked up their younger daughter; Kevan. Kevan told them that Robert and Courtenay Kennedy, children of Attorney General Robert Kennedy, were students in the same school and had been picked up by the Secret Service.. The children in the school knew that the President had been shot. Mr. Hunt states that the following persons are witnesses to the fact that he was here in Washington, D. C., at the time the President was shot in Dallas: 1. His son, Howard St. John Hunt, then ten years of age. 2. His daughter, Lisa, then twelve years of age. 3. His daughter, Kevan, then eleven years of age. 4. The family maid, Mary Trayner, now employed by a family living at| and whose phone number is Mr. Hunt believes that he was either taking the day off from work as a part of annual leave on November 22, 1963, or he may have been recuperating from a hospitalization for ulcers. He had been hospitalized at about that period at Sibley Hospital in Washington, D. C. Mr. Hunt states that he held the following oil company charge account and credit cards in 1963 and that such accounts may provide corroboration as to his presence in Washington, D. C., on November 22, 1963: Esso Oil, Gulf Oil, Texaco Oil, Cities Service Oil, Brooks Brothers (New York), Garfinkle's, Woodward and Lothrop, Sears Roebuck & Co., Hecht Co. He also states that telephone records might be checked with SECRET/SENSITIVE 1201. 4. 50955 D0c1S:3226346 against me and my family.

Co.; that the CIA might have travel voucher records showing his travel during that year and that CIA should also have records on the dates on which he took sick leave or annual leave. Mr. Hunt categorically denies that he has been involved in any way what- soever with the assassination of President Kennedy, Senator Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King, or any other person either within or without the United States. He similarly denies any participation or involvement whatever in the attempted assassination of Governor Wallace, the disappearance of Congressman Hale Boggs or the shooting of Senator Stennis. He states that in connection with the planning for the Cuban invasion in 1961, he did suggest that Fidel Castro should be assassinated either before or contemporaneously with that invasion, but his suggestion was not acted upon or otherwise approved. Attached are copies of a press statement made by Mr. Hunt in early February 1975 in Florida, in which he denies the allegations made by Dick Gregory and others with respect to his involvement in the assassi- nation of President Kennedy and a letter written to Mr. Hunt by the former family maid, Mary Traynor. Lisa Hunt confirms her father's account that he was at home with the family in the afternoon and evening of November 22, 1963. She recalls that her father assembled the family in front of the television set. • He wanted them all to watch the program because it was an important historical matter. They were all shocked about the assassination of the President. cc: D. Belin Senior Counsels SECRET/SENSITIVE HW 50955 action against me and my family. DocId: 32263469 Page 23 FEB 5 1975 --- ## Page 24 AFFADAVIT I, E. HOWARD HUNT, affirm the following to be my recollec- tions of my whereabouts on November 22, 1963: 1. On that date I was an employee of the Central Intelligence Agency assigned to the located in a commercial building in Washington, D. C. 2. I was driving with my late wife on H Street near 8th or 9th Street when we first heard of the Kennedy shooting on our car radio. We had been purchasing Chinese groceries at a store named, as.well as I can recall:it, "Wah Ling". I do not know how long after the initial radio reports were made that my wife and I first heard the news. Brinkley was the commentator I remember because of his having theorized a "right wing plot": i.e., Dallas citizens had abused Adlai Stevenson and the climate of Dallas extremism had caused Kennedy's shooting. 3. From the Chinese grocery store we drove out Wisconsin Avenue to pick up our daughter, Kevan, from Sidwell Friends School. On joining us my daughter told us what we already knew: that President Kennedy had been shot. She had learned this because two of Robert Kennedy's children had been taken from Sidwell Friends School, pre- sumably by Secret Service agents. 4. From Kevan's school we drove directly to our home on Baltan Road in Sumner, Maryland (off Massachusetts Avenue extended) • At home was my newly-born son, David (DOB 9/1/63), a maid, Mary Traynor, HW 50955 DocId:32263469 Page 24 --- ## Page 25 - 2 - and my wife's aunt, the late Leona Drexler of Chicago. Our elder son, St. John, a student at nearby Brookmont Elementary School, was probably already at home. As I recall, our eldest child, Lisa. arrived soon afterward by bus from Ursuline Academy and joined us at the television set in our basement recreation room where we stayed long hours watching the unfolding of events: the swearing-in Of LBJ, the arrival at Andrews Field of the Presidential coffin, etc. 5. As to why I was not at my office that entire afternoon, I can only presume that I had left early to help my wife shop for a planned Chinese dinner, in the preparation of which I normally assisted. 6. I-was never in Dallas, Texas, until late 1971 when, at the request of Charles Colson I flew there to interview Gen. Paul Harkins, former U.S. military commander in Vietnam. 7. I did not meet Frank Sturgis until the spring of 1972, the introduction being performed by and at the office of Bernard I. Barker. 8. I never at any time met or knew Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby, or any other person involved in the Dallas slayings. 9. I was not in Mexico in 1963. In fact, I was not in Mexico between, the years 1961 and 1970, and have not been there since a weekend pleasure trip to Acapulco in July of 1970. NW 50955 DocId: 32263469 Page 25 --- ## Page 26 The allogations made by dick tregory and others connecting me to the murdor of President John Kennedy are totally without foundati They constitute a false and vicious libel. These charges are bizarre products of sick minds. The Political Left has never been able or willing to accept the fact that Kennody's assass In was a man of the left; thus the Loftist preoccupation with finding an alternate assassin. Dick Gregory's smear represents the ultimate in slander and innuendo customarily characterized as McCarthylsn. The Rockefeller and other Investigative committees will probably examine Gregory's charges - as indeed they should. For my part I would welcome a thorough high-level investigation and a full airing of all relevant findings. Only if this takes place will I have any hope of clearing my name and living free from the threats against my life already made by neurotics. I was not in Dallas, Texas, on November 22,1963; In fact I nover visited Dallas until eight years later. I dld not meet Frank Sturgis until 1972, nine years after we were allegedly together in Dallas. I was not In Moxico In 1963, and I did not meet Lee Harvey Oswald there or at any other place or time. Moreover, I shared the nation's grief over the murder of our President. These are the facts. Unt1l authoritative Investigative bodies make known their judgment concerning my alleged involvement in the Kennedy murder I will continue to bring libel actions against any and all parties who repeat the libel. I must take this course because the libels are prejudicial to my position before the court now considering my Appeal from the Watergate affair. And because the Ilbols threaton my only means of livelihood, as a writer. But of even greater concern to me is that continued publicity given to these reckless charges could stimulate some yet-unpublicized maniac into violent action against me and my family.

At that time: the break with China was imminent and under no circumstances could happenings be provoked which might tend to again unite the USSR and China. "It was necessary to 'freeze' Cuba for some time. The break took place on 14 Jun 63 through the famous letter with the 25 points of the Chinese Communist Party to the Soviet Communist Party which document I have in my possession.

"The case of th do not act Like It on 201-2029 maht be a lunatic but lunatica acted. They attack suddenly without caring about the immediate consequences. Therefore, one must immediately discard the theory that it was a fanatic. Everything seems to indicate that KENNEDY' & assassination was a political assasaination..a poistical aurassination. (according to I "KENNEDY's assassin was nothing but an instrument in the hande of a sinister organization which sought higher objectives.. The objective could not be other than to produce a break in the good relations between the United States and the USSR by those who might benefit politically from this happening. CHINA and CUBA are the keys to the enfgma. All this will become known very soon, sooner than we imagine. There 1e also the inoident of the Mexican employee of te Cuban Embassy in Mexico City, and the angry renotion of Cuba through ite Ambassador non when they learned that she had been arrested. The diplomatio note was written in an angry and rude tone. Mericane are called the 'accomplices of KENNEDY's reactionary assassins" and it Interferes in the internal affairs of Maxico. Then, there was Bome truth in the connection between this and that. they could no longer deny that OSWALD had requested a cuban visa, but they claim that they refused to give him one. Ia this true? "In my opinion, the assasain planned to escape and to seek refuge here (Cuba), maybe even under a fictitlous name. Everything 1s possible with these people. The diplomtic note also tries to involve the Ussr. 'and we are back at the same thing. At a given moment, such a transcendenti happening as KENNEDY's death could suddenly provoke a collective histeria In the United States and maybe even provoke a confrontation with the UssR.. Therefore, it was a diabolfoal scheme leading to achieve an effective heppening which might benefit someone politically, and that someone could be Mao and Fidel. "The objective might have been rapidly attained. Violent break. almost a state of war between the U.S. and the USSR, and, naturally. SECRET --- ## Page 9 13-00000 SECRET Report # EE 337, 1 20 Dec 63 (cont.) the immediate beginning of an almost hot "cold war' with the subsequent support of all of KHrUsHCHeV's missiles to the tottering Cuban regime. Of course, this would be a brilliant and possible play in the case of an extremely dangerous paranoic. "The Veneguelan Case! "What a coincidence? Two days after KENNEDY' a funeral a transcendental announcement is mades Venezuela officially accuses Cuba of landing a huge cargo of arms in that country. All the teams get mobilized and the immediate order is given to have a meeting of the Security Council of the O.A.f. All this happens with the speed of lightning. The cache of arms was discovered on the 2nd of November 1963, but the transcendental step was not given until now.... In my opinion, that was the Plan which KENNEDY was holding in reserve. But KENNEDY had more time to carry it out, and JOHNSON does not have so much time, and besides. it fo necessary to act while things are hot and that is why it was advanced. Now I do think that the crucial moment has come! The mouse fell in the mousetrap with cheese and everything: It will be very difficult for CASTRO to get out of this ambush. "Besides, many doubts and prejudices which we had been dragging for a long time now begin to get clarified. That was the Plan! Get CASTRO to accomplish something of such magnitude that It would affect all Latin American countries, so that all would have to adopt collective measures. The Plan was COLLECTIVE ACTION. That is why the Americans were opposed to actions by cuban exiles. That is why they persecuted them. That ia why KENNEDY rejected the idea of an invasion by the U.s. It was necessary to wait for the opportunity, and they waited for it. Everything will take place in the eyes of the world with the evidence on hand, according to laws that in the objective of Article 8 of the 1947 Río de Janeiro Mutual Assistance Treaty. America has in its hands the legal inatrument to do justice against Communism. It is a case of flagrant intervention in a country which is a signer of the Treaty by one which does not respect any Law and which has placed itself outside the law. "If CASTRO has been shouting since the 2nd of December of 1961 that he 'is a Marxist-leninist,' the fact is that he does not know absolutely anything about that. This gentleman has never been more SECRET : 201.289248 --- ## Page 10 13-00000 BBCRET Report # EB-837, 20 Dec 63 (cont.) than a university hoodlum, a bourgeois with free registration in Havana University. That is why those who were hunting him let him loose. It was necessary to wait patiently for him to make a mistake. and in the end he did make it. Fighting in Venezuela is a completely erroneous fight from all viewpoints, but in order to show that we are not-like they may we are resentful bourgeois we are going to prove it from the Marrist-Leninist viewpoint. "The chInist have sald the following about thiss 'we uphold that in the fight against Imperialism, strategically, considering the whole, It is necessary to have contempt for the enemy, to dare fight against him and to conquer victory. And at the same time, tactically, in each concrete struggle, It is necessary to take the enemy seriously into account and to adopt a conscientious and prudent attitude. Tactically, if the enemy is not taken serioualy into account, and one acts in a rash manner, and if at the same time one does not dare to have contempt for the enemy strategically, one will inevitably commit the mistake of Adventurousness in Tactics and of Capitulationiem in strategy.' And comrade NAO also has to say the following about Tactics in his select works, 'If we do not not with prudence in each particular case, In each concrete problem, we do not take care in studying and in perfecting our art of fighting and we do not pay attention to winning all the allies which must be won (small farmers, small artisans and Independent merchants, middle bourgeosie, students, teacher, professors and intellectuals in general, simple public servants, professionals. and sensible persons), we will make a mistake of leftist Opportuniam. ' "But Mr. Fidel CASTRO was a ragnificent Marxiat-Leninist and the result les nothing more illogical than what is being done in Venezuela. How is 1t possible for a Marxiat-leninisteven for a firat grade one not to be aware that this type of tactical fight is only possible within a Dictatorial System, a System of the TRUJILLO type, a STROESSNER type, or a DUVALIER type? "How Ia it posalble in Venezuela where BETANCOURT was elected through clean elections, and who is now going to hold elections and will turn the reigns of the Government over to another person or to another Party? Only a cretin will think of it. Tactics are erroneous and falls frankly into the woret kind of leftist Adventurousness. CASTRO has dug his own grave. -6- SECRET --- ## Page 11 13-00000 SHORIT Report # DE-837, eums, 20 Dec 63 (cont.) "Summarizing, all these happenings, aâdea up and acting at y. the same time, will lead to the destruction of the Communist regime which has been imposed on us by force. Because, and I repeat, the Revolution against BATISTA was exclusively political in nature and the true Communists arrived late in the Sierra Maestra, because even if •the monkey is dressed in silk it is still a monkey. "Let us mix these ingredients. KENNEDY's assassination, the Venezuelan affair, 'Patilla's' (Fidel's) adventurousness--and we will get the best of all cocktails: CUBA LIBRE." 21 йd1:4! ini ---

Ref : HMMA-21060 MICROFILM 1. BACKGROUND The LIEMPTY Projeci is designed to collect operational infor- mation on the LIMERICK installation and personnel, as well as targets of opportunity, through stationary and mobile photographic coverage. In addition, the projec provides the means for investigating leads from both the above noted coverages and other Station sources. It supports other Station operations through the renting of safehouses, providing and servicing post office box mail drops, conducting countersurveillances and pretext investigations and perfor- ming related tasks. 2. OPERATIONS LIEMPTY provides the majority of photographs used by the Station in its CE operations against the LIMERICK rarget. In this phase of the operation the LIEMPTY basehouses and photo truck produced approximately 140 rolls of operational photos in support of the Station's CE program during the reporting period. The Station considers the photo coverage of the LIMERICK installation as essential tool in following the daily activities of the personnel of that installation, including known and suspected intelligence officers, and individuals visiting the establishment. Selected examples of the LIEMPTY contribution to the Station's CE program and its support of other Station operations are as follows: CROSS REFERENCE TO HW 53340 DocId: 32392990 a. The support provided by the two LIEMPTY cuiouts, Oliver G. SCANTLING and Raymond H. GERENDE, in the AMROD operation was essential to this operation. Due to the long operational expericnee of these agents in the Mexico City operational environment their aid in both the planning and execution stages of the AMROD DISPATCH SYMBOL AND NUMBER HMMA -21993 08 GOPY 23 August 1903 SOUP. 1. Exclusted natomatic 1324180 GCC Partel CLASSIFICATION SECRET HES FILE NUMBER 50-6-74/3 --- ## Page 3 DISPAICH HH 53320 operation has been unique. The cutouts provided professional level countersurveillance during the actual meetings between AMRIF'T -1 and Oliver E. FORTSON (ps), passed letters to the LIERODE instal- lation, wrote many letters and placed numerous phone calls in support of this operation and have actually carried on the daily activity of the operation. b. In the Soviet area the activities under this project have been many and varied. Examples of this are: Stake out of a meeting be- tween a Soviet intelligence officer and LISTEED-1; reporting of LICAL. on the agitation of Aleksandr SIDOROV; Soviet Military Attache and known intelligence officer, following a Station provocation of him; LIENTRAP coverage of Lorenzo CARDENAS Barrajas, a Soviet contac: a stake out of a bowling alley popular with PBPRIME citizens and officia living in Mexico to determine the extent of a Soviet intelligence officer attempts to cultivate these individuals; and LIMITED's radio dispatchi of the LIEMBRACE team when this team was assigned to surveillance ‹ LIMERICK iargets. c. Oliver G. SCANTLING greatly aided the Station's operation to discredit and harass ESLARD-1 when ESLARD-1 returned to Mexici from his native country. On one occasion SCANTLING made anonymo phone calls to all major wire services informing them of the location o ESLARD-I who at that time was in hiding under an alias. d. In the Station's continuing attempt to provide greater coveri of the outlying states of Mexico, GERENDE has been assigned to devel contacts in Zacatecas and Aguascalientes which can be activated into operational assets in future. GERENDE has already met with some success in this area, but due to his heavy workload in the operational role assigned him in the Station's support mechanism, continued ex- ploitation of these contacts probably will be a slow process. e. LILYRIC reporting has been of great interest in a matter c LAURICLE concern. f. In the general support of other Station operations, tasks of the cutouts continue as reported in referènce. SCANTLING performs as alternate cutout to LICASA-1 in a sensitive LAURICLE operation. The project cutouts service 18 P. O. Box drops used not only for Statir operations but also in support of Headquarters, IMWAVE, and other Station requirements. The completion of a new 4.5 meter security wall at the LIMERICK installation was fully reported on by the LICAL basehouse operator. g. Numerous investigations and miscellaneous assignments w conducted by the project agents; a sampling of these follows: an inve: tigation of a contact of the Cuban Consul in Merida, a casing of the sil ESLARD-1 had planned to use as a secluded retreat (including picture support of the DMHULK operation in arranging by telephone the conta: between DMHULK and a KUBARK staff officer, investigation in Cuernavaca of the purchaser of the Alfred STERN property located there, and a report by LIEMPTY-13 of the support of former Mexican president Lazaro CARDENAS among the troop command officers of ti Mexican Army. —OKM 10.57 53a (40) 3.

Certain interior arrangements have been made, such as raising the floor of the operating room at LICALLA, which will allow continued operation of the base. However, if some sori of vegetatio: grows over the wire strands at the top of the fence, the view uf the base will be shut off completely and other arrangements for photo coverage of the 4. EQUIPMENT No new equipment was purchased during the reporting period nor is any such purchase presently planned. All assigned equipment functione: normally during this period. PERSONNEL No change in personnel assignments, recruitments or termin- ations was experienced during the reporting period. The performance of all personnel in the project continued to be completely satisfactory during this period. The support rendered by SCANTLING and GERENDE i0 the AMROD operation deserves particular mention and their superior performance in tha operation was noted in paragraph 2a above. In recognition of his continued good all round performance the Station recently requested that GERENDE's contract be amended to provide for an increase in annual salary from $US 5, 500 to $US 6, 000. This raise i not only desired, it is considered necessary to offset the continued inflationa trend of the Mexican economy. 6. TRAINING As in the previous reporting period, no training other than continued review of tradecraft principles was conducted during this period Photographic product continues to be reviewed daily and the action agents al instructed as necessary in order to improve or correct their technique in both the taking and processing of this product. 7. PLANS Since the Station considers that this project is operating at i optimum size, it does not plan to expand it at the present time. Efforts wi continue to refine and better utilize the existing operational mechanism.

Breckinridge Principal Coordinator, HSCA SUBJECT : Memo Proposed for DDCI to Stokes on Nosenko Assuming Blakey wants a letter, I submit the attached draft for preliminary review. It will have to be coordinated formally if the letter is desired. V. Bucking K. S: D.:. Breckinridge Attachment #6092 --- ## Page 2 14-00000 DRAFT Honorable Louis Stokes, Chairman Select Committee on Assassinations House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Mr. Chairman: This letter is written on the understanding that you welcome a statement on the Agency's view of the issues arising from CIA's handling of furl Nosenko, which arose in connection with your inquiry into the assassination of President Kennedy• First, it should be noted that the reservations in 1964 over Mr. Nosenko's reliability as a witness, along with what he had to say then, was reported personally to Chief Justice Warren by Mr. Helms. Given some re tenson, to ca: the questions that existed at that time, the information Mr. Nosenko offered was not factored into the findings of the Warren Cormission. Had this information been accepted at the time, it would have served to reinforce conclusions of the Cormission rather than alter them. I trust that there is no issue on that point. There are two critical considerations in the handling of Mr. Nosenko, both of which bear on how he should be viewed. the errors in his interrogation and the way he was treated. A critical aspect of Mr. Nosenko's interrogation at the beginning was a preconception then prevalent in certain elements of the intelligence community. There was concern that he was a dispatched age see lead we not one the not in ted to ve swal Oswald issue for, as you know, CIA had been in touch with Mr. Nosenko well before President Kennedy's death and his own later defection, and earlier had received useful information from him. He is not the only man whose bona fides were strongly suspected at that time. The problem at the time was very real.. There was little that could be done to clarity or verify the few things that Mr. Nosenko had to say about Lee Harvey Oswald, however important they might be. If a proper perspective was to be established for considering the case, it would have to be settled first on the Issue of whether he was a bona fide defector. The course chosen by those with responsibility for the case was to break him as they were convinced that he was not a bona fide defector. the steps taken to do this were then and remain grossly improper. --- ## Page 3 14-00000 Important aspects of Mr. Nosenko's interrogation by those assigned to work with him, was based in significant respects on thre transcripts of early questioning of him. The records of those early debriefings were put in transcript form in English, translated from Russian. They contained a number of mistranslations, which came to serve as the basis for testing the consistency of what he said. As he made statements inconsistent with some of those early transcripts, he was cross examined intensively on these apparent inconsistencies in an effort to force his confession that he was a false defector. It requires little imagination to understand how intensive interrogation of a man, challenging what he was saying in contrast with what he was incorrectly recorded earlier as saying, could compound initial distortions and build a record that could be righted only with sone difficulty. When the extended period of detention, under extremely spartan living conditions,, was made a part of recurring intensive interrogation, one must recognize the permanent harm done not only to the record, but to the clear and unburdened memory of the man. We will never really know the extent to which the treatment accorded Mr. Nosenko may have affected his memory on things known clearly to him at the beginning. We now know that much of the record built against him was founded on initial errors extended and compounded by the way in which his interrogation was handled. We have taken steps to ensure that such an occurrence will not be repeated. Mr. Nosenko was removed from the responsibility of those in the Agency who handled him initially, and was placed with others, who addressed the case afresh. Mr. Nosenko, as a result, ultimately was released to private life and since then has proven himself a valuable asset of the American Government Now, fifteen years after his defection, there is an accumulated record of the value and reliability of what he has told It is impressive indeed. He has proven a unique source of information on Soviet intelligence operations against ourselves ano some of our allies; a number of intellgience coups have been based on information from him. It must be observed that former Agency employees contesting the current Agency assessment of Mr. Nosenko are essentially defending the record of their own stewardship, feeling that they have been wronged by its having been made public. media, made in violation of their cormitments to secrecy, that have placed the matter in the public domain. This led to emergence of the 2 --- ## Page 4 14-00000 issue in the context of the present investigation, with the disclosures to which they object. Expressions of injury by these former employees must be viewed with some reservation. Certainly, their treatment of Mr. Nosenko remains a mar on the Agency's record. The Agency must share the fault for that conduct, which cannot be deflected by diversionary argument. The fact remains that Mr. Nosenko was accorded inexcusable treatment. The original record of his questioning was flawed; its continued uncorrected use served to further mar the handling of the case. It is understood that some of these recorded errors may have had their effect on the Committee as well. That Mr. Nosenko has proven so useful a man subsequently is the final test of the matter. Any further detailed discussion of this matter would serve only to obscure the central facts. We are satisfied as to the true nature of past errors, and hope to avoid a recurrence. We are satisfied with Mr. Nosenko's contributions over the years, and with his continued value today. Sincerely, Frank Carlucci .:.: ................... .. ... 3 п... ---

This includes provision for a provisional military government prepared to assume full legislative, executive, and judicial control until such functions can be turned over to other authority on direction in an expeditious and orderly manner. Remaining resistance elements of the Communist Cuban government, armed forces or other groups will be isolated, contained and destroyed or captured as rapidly as possible. US military combat units will be scheduled for early return to the United States consistent with security considerations. c. Department of State Operations. (1) Phase I. The Department of state will seek to place the United States in as broad a multilateral context as possible.

Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 (44 USC 2107 Note). DATE: 11-14-2017 In Reply, Please Refer to File No. U.S. Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation Dallas, Texas February 6, 1990 ALL W/29227100 001 HERERS IS UNCLASE WHERE SHOWN OTHE CEPT SUBJECT : ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY; PPSAKA 00: DALLAS. During the past eleven months, Dallas has conducted an extensive review of the original assassination investigation (DL 89-43) for information of additional lead In addition, extensive outside reading of articles, publications, books, and government reports were reviewed prior to the interview of CARLOS MARCELLO on 9/6/89. Nothing in any Bureau report has provided any reasonable indication of MARCELLO'S involvement in the captioned assassination, or that he assisted OSWALD in the assassination. There have been numerous outside publications theorizing a connection between MARCELLO and the assassination, but none of these theories has been able to provide substantive proof of MARCELLO'S involvement. MARCELLO was interviewed by Buagents on 9/6/89 at the FEDERAL MEDICAL CENTER (FMC), Rochester, Minnesota, regarding his statements on 2/27/89 that he was "going to gẹt KENNEDY when he came to Dallas". As expected, MARCELLO denied making these statements, as well as denying any involvement in the assassination of President KENNEDY. MARCELLO denied 113119u cisitiad by 9803 RUD GAT Declassity eM__ DADR (JFK) IcONSy 4|3190 175A-D4-109-11 Searched Inconad Sedatina Kno riled 5 DocId: 32173906 Page 2 --- ## Page 3 Released under the John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 (44 USC 2107 Hote). DATE: 11-14-2017 CONFIDENTIAL knowing OSWALD OI OSWALD'S uncle, DUTCH MURRET: MARCELLO also denied knowing EDWARD BECKER, or making a statement to BECKER in 1962 about having President KENNEDY killed. It was the opinion of the agents conducting the interview of MARCELLO that he was clear and lucid at the time of the interview, although he would, at times, ramble in a disoriented manner, apparently attempting to get the interview off track. Employees at the FMC confirmed MARCELLO would at times feign being disoriented for his own personal convenience, but that at other times, he would legitimately be disoriented. Based on this information, it would appear that MARCELLO was legitimately disoriented on 2/27/89, thus making the veracity of his statements suspect. Coincidental to the statements by MARCELLO on • 2/27/89, the New Orleans Division advised by teletype dated 3/15/89 that the former Chief of Police and current City Councilman of New Orleans, JOSEPH GIARRUSO, had received phone call from an unidentified female caller with a British The caller claimed to have worked part time for an attorney in New Orleans for a period of two days some time between 1966 and 1968. This caller refused to identify herself, but did provide a telephone number in England. caller advised GIARRUSO that she remembered typing a letter for the lawyer and that in the letter money was sent to the mother of LEE HARVEY OSWALD and that a statement was made in the letter concerning the KENNEDY assassination. By airtel dated 9/20/89 Legat, London, advised that DEBORAH MILLINGTON had been interviewed at Brighton, England, on 8/31/89, by representatives of NEW SCOTLAND YARD. MILLINGTON admitted to being the individual who had called GIARRUSO in March of 1989. MILLINGTON provided a description of the attorney for whom she had worked, as well as the general location of his office. MILLINGTON claims to have been interviewed as a potential witness in the trial of CLAY SHAW. The New Orleans Division, by airtel dated 10/3/89, advised they had no information regarding MILLINGTON'S status as a witness in the CLAY SHAW trial, nor did the information she had provided concerning the location of the attorney's office coincide with the details provided in her interview. 2 10175A-DL-109-11 CONFIDENTIAT DocId: 32173906 Page 3 --- ## Page 4 Released under the John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 (44 USC 2107 Note). DATE: 11-14-2017 CONFIDENTIAL It should be noted that the above allegations byl MILLINGION again place the Bureau in the dilemma of being presented facts 25 years after the event that can neither be confirmed nor discounted. Dallas is of the opinion that no additional investigation in this matter is warranted, in view of the fact that this subsequent investigation was initiated based on statements made by MARCELLO while in a semi-coherent state and that these statements were subsequently denied by MARCELLO when interviewed. In addition, volume upon volume of investigation has previously been conducted by the Bureau, as well as various Congressional sub-committees, and none of these investigations has ever established a positive connection between MARCELLO and the assassination. Any further pursuit of this investigation will merely give appearance of self-doubt regarding the original and subsequent investigations. Accordingly, UACB, Dallas is closing DL 89-43 (the original KENNEDY assassination), as well as the current investigation (DL 175A-109) relating to captioned matter. 3* +01 754-02-109-11 CONFIDENTIAL DocId: 32173906 Page 4 ---

Chief of Station, Mexico City FROM Chief, WHID SUBJECT ACTION MARKED FOR INDEXING XX NO INDEXING REQUIRED ONLY QUALIFIED HEADQUARTERS DESK CAN JUDGE INDEXING ABSTRACT MICROFILM ACCOM PLISHED RYBAT/ ACTION REQUIRED - REFERENCES We would like to take time out in our investigation of the President's assassination to appraise the role of the Mexico City Station in the whole affair. the early afternoon of 22 November 1963, Mexico City has been the only overseas reporter in the case. While this 1s partly dictated by the of Lee OSWALD's life, we have not overlooked the really outstanding per- formance of Mexico City's major assets and the speed, precision, and perception with which the data was forwarded. Here it was relayed within minutes to the White House, ODACID, and ODENVY. Your LIENVOY data, the statements of Silvia DURAN, and your analyses were major factors in the quick clarification of the case, blanking out the really ominous spectre of foreign backing.: We regret that we have been able to send you so little information in return, but we have not been given nuch yet. We do know that Lee OSWALD denied ne had ever been to Mexico except for a jump to lla Juana. We have quickly screened the FBI report on the whole case but we do not yet have a copy for retention. It does not promise your sources. Basically, what the New Yor limes has printed about the report is all true. 3. We have meanwhile been flooded with fabrications, of which the ALVARADO story was the most troublesome. They are still coming in.
