Jack Anderson 20 January 1977 Column
Titled CIA Ti-ed to False Oswald Story


                    B.  Identification of  the Mr. X in the
                        Anderson Column


        1.  The attached column, citing  the testimony of a Mr. X,
   alleges that a CIA agent tried  to link Oswald to Cuban intelli-
-  gence. officers in Mexico. There  is, of course, no substance to
   the column's allegations.  The  column identifies the source as
   Mr. X because of attempts on his  life, but subsequently gives
   enough information on Mr. X to establish his  identity.

        2.  According to the Anderson column, Mr.  X was first met
   by his CIA contact in Havana before  relations with U.S./Cuba were
   severed.  Mr. X had helped to organize bank  accountants to em-
   bezzle Cuban government  funds to finance anti-Castro causes.
   Mr. X was reportedly recruited by a Morris  Bishop (CIA contact),
   to plan an attempt on Castro's life. The plan was  to fire a
   bazooka from a nearby apartment building while  Castro was deliver-
   ing one of his marathon  speeches. According  to the Anderson
   column, the plot was discovered by  Castro's police and Mr. X
   escaped to Miami.  Mr. X also reportedly  tried to assassinate
   Castro in Chile in  1971 in league with the Venezuelan Luis Posada
   Carriles, who is now being detained  in Caracas for the 6 October
   Cubana airline bombing.  The Anderson  column ends with the report
   that Mr. X worked for CIA until  1973 for expenses, but *was paid
   $253,000 in cash by Morris  Bishop when he was tormiinated.
