1 April 1960


.SUBJECT: Marcos DIAZ Lans


      1.  It would appear that subject left the U.S. for Mexico some nenths ago
 an the advice of a lawyer, that he vent to Meico, thereby violatirg his parole,
 and then couldn't ret a visa to get b3ck into the U.S. He was a little upset
 about this since he says he was just trying to legalise his status in the U.S.
 After a couple of mo:!:hs, it was finally agreed that he would be llIowed to re-
 enter the U.S. on parole.  It is very confusing -ho advised what, -.o was pushing
 * who, or why, but I&NS seemed to think CIA was pushing the hardest, but now has
 changed its mind.  Be that as it may, they seem to have set un two interviews for
 subject  at the Embassy, at the first of which he was told all the bad aspects
 of his situation, but-failed  to tell him they had agreed to let him back in the
 U.S. on parole.  So subject took off on his own with the aid of scr Catholic
 organisaticn,  swam the river and made his way to Washington where he contacted
 an unstated Congressicnal, probably Senate, condttee,,who passed him on to I&NS
 apparently  General Swirg hiself.   The General was not pleased, because ob-icul.
 he had a not potato.  In short there were objections to every possible solution.
 Subject has. a wife and two children legally resident in Florida and one of the
 children is an American citizen, and ow-ns a home there, so paroling the subject
 anywhere else might cause some bad publicity.

      2.  In the absence of Mr. Seehafer, Mr. JRaN  of IM Division was asked to
 go over with Mr. Penninrton to a meeting with I&KS, at 1:30 on 1 April.
 Mr. Henessey reviewed the case and wanted to know what CIA wanted done with DIAZ,
 and Mr. Pennington and another person said they had talked to Shef Edwards and it
 had been agreed that the new policy on paroles would urobably be the best thing
 as that might keep him out of our hair in Florida. Mr. Henessey reviewed a:lot
 of the legal situation and said in practice it wouldn't work, and he wanted an im-
 mediate decision as to whether CIA would say that it was in the national interest
 and in writing, that CIA vanted subject held Lsoewhere. After consultation with
 Col. King, Mr. Reynolds and Miss Tharpe, *rJODAN  said that it didn't seem likely
 that CIA would express in writing much of 'iy desires or wishes about subject.
 Mr. fenessey then brought subject in and gave him a stern talk about his obligations
 and conduct under parole. The parole paper was finally drawn up, and at about
 4 p.m., subject was released.

     3*  Kr. JORDAN had a brief conversation with subject in a taxi going d4un town
as subject was in a hurry.  He implied that I&HS had impressed on him to get out
of town as cuickly as tossible, and said they had told him to go to his home in .
