        SUBJECT           Allegation by a-Senior Cuban Diplomat
                          Concerning the Role of Cuban Exiles in
                          the Assassination of President Kennedy


              1.  According to a fairly reliable source, a'senior
        Cuban diplomat  stationed abroad made certain charges in
        late.September  1977 concerning the alleged role of Cuban
        exiles  in the assassination of President.John F. Kennedy.
        This diplomat  made these allegations .to his colleagues
        in the  course of an. official meeting in his embassy. The
        diplomat  said, among other things, that Cuban exiles
        such as  former Cuban Air Force officer D i a z Lan (fnu)
        and others had  been involved in the assassination of
        President Kennedy.   The diplomat referred to the assas-
        sinatich in  the context of a security lecture in which
        he claimed that  counter-revolutionary. activities by Cuban
        exiles have increased  in recent months.  He said that
        recent information  had. arrived implicating D i. a z in th
        Kennedy-assassination.  -The diplomat did not. mention any
        .other Cuban exiles by name or provide any further.details.
        He did not identify  the source of his information, although
        cur sourcc had  the impreqsion that tie dp    :'s      g:
        tions were based on a  recent cable from the Cuban Ministry
        of Foreign Affairs.

             2.  This division has  no other factual information
        concerning the diplomat's allegations. We  believe that
        the basis for the diplomat's statement  was, probably, an
        article which appeared in the New York  Daily News on
        20 Septenber 1977.  This article quoted Maritza
        L o r e n z  as saying that she, Orlando   B o. s c h, Frank:
        S t- u r g i s, Pedro P i a  z Lanz.  two unnained Cuban
        eA.ile bi others and Lee fl[ive) 0 s 6 U . d   i    .
