104-10106-10792 JFK Assassination Records Archives 1 (1/1/1967)

handle is hein.jfk/jfkarch10258 and id is 1 raw text is: 104-1 6-10792 THE INFORMATION COUNCIL OF THE AMERICAS, INC. (INCA) 1. INCA is an anti-Communist propaganda organization with headquarters in New Orleans, that disseminates English and foreign language propaganda tapes and 'films on a world- wide basis, conducts public forums of an extremist political nature, etc. The organizational impetus and funds apparently come from wealthy New Orleans figures including Dr. Alton OCHSNER, of the OCHSNER CLINIC, and Willard E. ROBERTSON. In recent years funds have been supplied by the SCHICK SAFETY RAZOR COMPANY. An INCA letterhead listing all the officers and officials has been requested from JMWAVE, which has had some casual correspondence with the organiza- tion concerning Miss Juanita CASTRO. 2. There is no indication of any Agency relationship with INCA prior to January 1965 when INCA sponsored Miss CASTRO's appearance in New Orleans. At that timefI who functioned as Miss CASTRO's business manager was involved with INCA officials in planning the New Orleans visit where Miss CASTRO was given an award at a dinner sponsored by INCA. The dinner, which was attended by civic leaders and representatives of all news media, took place shortly after Miss CASTRO's defection and there was considerable interest in her appearance. INCA was particularly interested since it had distributed hundreds of English and Spanish language tapes containing her statements when she was surfaced in Mexico. In October 1966 INCA again requested that Miss CASTRO appear as a guest speaker in major American cities in connection with the release of the INCA motion picture production HITLER IN HAVANA. Following various reviews *of the film, JMWAVE decided the film would probably become controversial and it would be inadvisable to permit Miss CASTRO to accept the invitation. Because of INCA's extremist political orientation, JMWAVE has wanted to avoid any more involvement between Miss CASTRO and INCA and< in his capacity as business manager, has managed to prevent this. There has been only one casual contac between our asset and Edward BUTLER, Executive Vice-President of INCA, since Miss CASTRO's 1965 New Orleans trip. This took place recently when BUTLER was in the area promoting the HITLER IN HAVANA film. 3. According to JMWAVE, INCA officials have never indicated in any way that they are aware of Agency control and direction of Miss CASTRO or her business agent, and there is no indication that INCA officials have had any official contact with Agency officers.
