     1.  Subject arrived in the United States on 2 MaW 1960.  He was
granted  a POA  on 18 October 1960 for participation in operations
against the Cuban regime.   He was terminated on 20 March 1961 as a
malcontent.                              7 ,
     2.  In July 1963, Subje as ivlved with the purchase and
caching of 2400 pounds o    namite, 100 pounds of practice bombs and
other related material, and with plotting to bomb the Shell Oil Com-
pany and other Cuban targets.  Since the FBI felt that the aerial at-
tack on Cuba had been effectively thwarted by seizure of the munitions
and impounding of the aircraft, they contemplated no criminal action
at that time a ains  Subject and his cohorts.
     3.  On 2 4viay 1965, Subject contacted an INS officer who, on the
basis of information in Subject's story which appe4 ed to-affect U.S.
security, notified the FBI.   On the same day (2         ), Sbject
was interviewed  by the FAI ano CIA was notified on 3  SP   65.  CIA
contacted Subject on 4 NgTh   the New York field office of  the FBI.
The gist of Subject's story was that  he was aware that AMLASH and
others had been planning a coup which involved the assassination of
Castro and that CIA had been involved with AMLASH and others in the
plotting.
     4.  In a 9 June 1965 cable from Headcuarters to       and
DIRECTOR 17510, Headquarters advised the       and       JStat       at
it evident that security of 6ur Cuban ops in some cases and our own
compartmentation not all that we would desire.   Urge therefore that
Stations concerned continue take such steps as feasible to improve se-
curity.
     5.  The   e    does not have copies of the FBI reports cited in
Book V of the SSC Final Report.
     6.  The information supplied by subjects adds little, if anything,
to the overall SSC report.  It simply shows that the SSC was reviewing
every lead.
