                                                          27 April 1977

                 SUBJECT      Victor Espinosa Hernandez

                 REFERENCE:   SSC Final Report (Book V), Pages 78, 79,
                              and 105 - (A Cuban Exile)

                      1.  Subject arrived in the United States on 2 Mali960.  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.                             4.2
                      2.  In July 1963, Subje    as 1   I6ved with the purchase and
                 .caching of 2400 pounds o  ynamite, 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 ainsy Subject and his cohorts.
                      3.  On 21ay  1965, Subject contacted an INS officer who, on the
                 basis of information in Subject's story which appe jed toaffect U.S.
                 security, notified the FBI.   On the same day (2 W1      ),Sbject
                 was interviewed by  the FI  ano CIA was notified on 3      65.  CIA
                 contacted Subject on 4        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.                                                        ;-2
                      4.  In a 9 June 1965 cable from Headquarters          nd
                 DIRECTOR 17510, Headquarters advised the      and       Iat
                 it evident that security of our Cuban   sos  some csen     our own
                 compartmentation not all that we would des re.  Urge th'dre re that

                 curity.
                      5.  The Agensy 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.
