handle is hein.jfk/jfkarch13813 and id is 1 raw text is: 104-1017410029 SEC1 20 May 190 .NOFANDUM FR: Chief, Covert Action Staff SUBJECT : ward Go Tichborn (P) 1. On 11 May I contacted Tichborn (P) in Los Angeles. Following the suggestion that Mr. Collins had made, I queried him as to his availability to work with some of our Cubans, I pointed out to him that there was a Cuban goverment in exile forming and that we were trying to keep tabs on it and hoped to be able to steer it along lines which we thought to be in the beat interest to the United Statas. In this connection I said that we had a North American who vas more or less handling the operation and trying to guide them as best he could, havever, we felt that it might be highly desirable to interject him Into the picture because of his background and language capability. I vent cn to point out to him that it was obviously an extremely difficult task to get the Castro opposition to agree to one coordinated program, etc. I told-him that it was our hope that if a government in exdile were formed, it weuld include all segments of the Castro opposition and that we were pulling - strings to see to it that it was not formed in the United States, I told Tichborn (P) that we did not envisage that he would have to work permanently with this group but rather that he would be available from time to time to discuss with them and to act as an auditor of their problems as well as a mentor in their operation, et^. 2. Tichborn (P) said that he would be very glad to do this for us and thought he would be able to find the time. The only question that arose in his mird was the fact that he will soon be actively engaged in the lemocratic campaign, perhaps on a full time basis. This obviously raises a security problem as if it were to become known that We were working with the Castro opposition, it might reflect unfavorable on whoever he was supporting politically in this country. It was left that he would give some serious thought to this problem and let me know as soon as he made up his mind definitely one way ar the other whether he would be wliing and available to work with the govermnent in exile on a spot basis from time to time.
