MEMORANDUM

SUBJECT:        Garrison Investigation of Kennedy Assassination:
                Allegations of Involvement, CIA and Cuban


       l. Mr. Zof the SB Division wrote a memorandum
entitled Possible DRE Animus Toward  President Kennedy and dated
8 March 1967. At that time Mr. L  ZIhad   recently returned from a
tour of .duty ini While there he had read about the Warren
Commission's  investigation and had noted the pre-assassination encounter
in New Orleans between Carlos Bringuier of the Student Revolutionary
