      TO          File                                         DATE:   7 July 1959


      FROM  :     Chief, Alien Affairs Staff


      SUBJEC:     LANZ, Pedro Diaz




                       1. Reference is made to the attached memorandum dated
                  6 July 1959, from the Chief, Personnel Security Division,
                  pertaining to certain activity which occurred over the past
                  weekend concerning the subject's detention by the I&NS.

                      2.  On this date inquiry was made of Mr.
                 WE  Division, with regard to this matter. He declared that
                 everyone on a working level in the I&NS was most cooperative
                 with the Agency with regard to the subject.  He indicated,
                 however, that it appeared that General Swing was taking a
                 hard nosed approach in view of an interest in the subject
                 '  the  Committee onInternal Security, headed by Senator
                 Eastland.  Mt.3       indicated he felt it would not be
                 desirable to attempt to have the subject released from detention
                 until General Swing decides that such action is propitious.

                      3.  On this same date inquiry was made of Mr. H. D. Nice,
                  L&NS, with regard to this matter. He declared that there was
                  nothing you or I could have done to have precluded the
                  situation that arose over the past weekend. He declared that
                  someone in this Agency had misinformed General Cabell to the
                  effect that the Immigration Service was holding the subject
                  in detention and would not 'penit CIA, representatives to talk
                  to him. The fact of the matter according to Mr. Nice, was that
                  General Swing had ordered that the subject's parole be revoked
                  and he be placed in detention for three reasons. The first
                  being it was the subject's on* desire to be afforded protection;
                  secondly, it yas a suggestion of the CIA representative in Miami,
                  Bernard Reidciardt, (who had the opportunity to interview the-
                  subject); and thirdly, because General Swing became aware of
                  the fact that several different components of the U.S. Government
                  were evidencing a primary interest in the subject. It was made
                  clear to Mr. Nice that certainly General Cabell did not wilfully
                  attempt to deceive the Commissioner of Immigration and Natural-
                  ization Service, and if in fact he did give the impression that
