MEMORANDUM

SUBJECT:  Nestor Antonio MORENO Lopez  (AMICE-27) (201-312091)


     1.  MORENO was born on  25 August 1921 in Havana, Cuba.

His-father was a Cuban Senator  (1940-44) and the Cuban Minister

of Public Works  (1944). MORENO became  a lawyer and continued

to live in comfortable circumstances.   He became involved in

the anti-BATISTA movement, apparently  'in the late 1950's, and

     3.  About February  1963 MORENO and Enrique-CAYADO Ribera

reportedly collaborated  in the formulation of an operational

plan to overthrow  the Castro government.  They discussed it

with Jorge VOLSKY, who  then passed it to Tad SZULC.  VOLSKY

and SZULC  apparently conspired to have the plan presented to

Administration)  in Washington in order to by-pass the dis-
