 SUBJECT       :  SL ORIZON-1 Report Mentioning Cuban
                 Minister-Counsellor Statement on the
                 Assassination of President Kennedy
 REFERENCE     : a.          2&950  (IN 416072)

      1.  Reference:  AZ@AHOO   intelligence report, mentioned
 that the Minister Counsellor (MC) of-the Cuban Embassy in
 Kingston, Jamaica addressed the regular monthly meeting of the
 Communist Party of Cuba members assigned to Jamaica on 24 Sep-
 tember 1977. The MC said, among other things, that Cuban exiles
 such as FNU DIAZ LAN and others had been involved in the
 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, The MC did not
 further elaborate.

      2.  Latin America Division believes that the basis for
the MC's statement was, ptobably, an article which appeared in
the New York Daily'News on 20 September 1977.  This article,
which is attached, quoted Maritza LORENZ as saying she, Orlando
BOSCH, Frank STURGIS, Pedro DIAZ Lanz, two unnamed Cuban.exile
brothers and Lee Harvey OSWALD foimed an assassination squad
which went to Dallas to assassinate President Kennedy. We know
of no information in Agency files to substantiate that state-
ment.
