. SLHORIZON-1 Report Mentioning Cuban
  Minister7Counsellor Statement on the
  Assassination of President Kennedy

  LA/CO/235-77 Dated 30.September 19.77


    .1.  The  referent memorandum reported information from
a ZRWAHOO intelligence  report of a. statement made by the
Minister-Counsellor  (MC) of the Cuban Embassy in Kingston,
Jamaica, on 24 -September 1977, that Cuban exiles such as
DIAZ Lan  (fnu) (sic) and others had been involved in the
assassination of President  John F. Kennedy.  We believe
that this could refer  either to Pedro DIAZ Lanz, or his
brother Marces DIAZ  Lanz, formerly Chief and Deputy Chief,
respectively, of  the Cuban Revolutionary-Air Force.  Both
entered the U.S.  from Cuba as exiles in mid-1959.  Since
that time the DIAZ  Lanz brothers reportedly have been
closely associated with,  and involved in numerous activities
with, Frank STURGIS  (aka FIORINI) of Watergate fame.  The
Agency assisted  in .the evacuation of Marcos, and Pedro
entered the U.S. on his  own.  Although both were debriefed
by the.Agency,  there is no indication that they were.ever
considered Agency assets.

     2.                    queried source for further infor-
mation as promised  in paragraph 4 *of the reference.  The
source said that the MC  referred'to the Kennedy assassina-
tion during a pep talk  to party members to maintain good
security.  Further, that the MC  said that.recent infor-
mation had arrived implicating  DIAZ Lan (fnu) (sic),
former air -force officer, in the Kennedy assassination
but did not mention.any other  Cuban exiles by name or give
any further details.  Although  the MC did not identify the
source of his -information,                      source had
the impression that the  information might have been included
in a cable from the Cuban Ministry.of  Foreign Affairs.  The
source is unable to elicit  further information from the MC
without jeopardizing his security.
