                       Visit of Cuban Exile Victor Espinosa


                   In accordance with our-conversation yesterday I have .set
              forth-below asreport-on the visit. of Victor Espinosa.

                   A Venesualan Christian Democratic friend of mine, Valmore
              Acevedo- called me-from New York City yesterday muorning.,to ask
              as.a-personal favor--tbat.I receive a Cuban exile living there
              who-bad something, amazing to tell me. . When, I expressed mild
              skepticism, Acevedo -urgently repeated his -request and I agreed.
              Within-a Surprisingly-short time the-Cuban,. Victor Espinosa,.,
              arrived-at my office (he. said he had taken..the plane Imedi---
              ately)... Espinosa gave- his-address and telephone number as
              follows:  415 East 52nd Street, ILA 1-7375. A Gunmary of his
              3tatements follows... -.;:

                   Espinosathas;-been;involved in Cuban.liberation, activitias
              for many-years., He opposedBatista and opposes Castro-. de is
              not a-member of. the March-..13 ;Movement, but has long been very
              close-to many of its-leaders, including Cubelaa. Eapinosa Was
              trained. by CIA,. in both Louisiana and Guatemala, and was one
              of those who was sent into Cuba prior to the 3ay o:f rigs. He
              plans to become an-American -citizen in August of this year-
              He admires the United-States and American strength and compe-
              tence in many fields. He asked a New York acquaintenance of-
              his for the name of -someone in the Department involved in
              Latin American affairs, - I-was told Acevedo knew such an
              official. Espinosa asked Acevedo (without  he Claims, re-
              veaaling hia story), and.the lat-ter called me.

                  A  little earlier this year Espinosa received a request
              from one of hia reliable Cuban contacts in Europe, asking that
              he come there quickly. Zspinosa went to Miami, obtained falae
              Cuban papers, and went to Paris. There, apparently in -he
              presence of the Cuban Ambassador to France, he mn one of t
              top security men of the Castro rwgime, who had come to Paria
