        1.  I checked into the alleged relationship between
 Lee Harvey Oswald  and the DRE with the following results.

       2.  The DRE was an  anti-Communist student organization
 funded covertly by CIA.   It was known bv the cryptonym
 AMSPELL.  In the fall of 1962,  the DRE organization in Cuba
 was penetrated and wrapped-up by  the DGI.  We continued to
 provide nominal financial support  t9 tne DRE until September
 1966 and terminated our relationship completely on  amiable

 organization and to help train Cubans to fight against Castro.
 Brinquier turned him down ')elievig hin to be either an F21
 informant or Communist penetration agent.  On 9 August
 some friends of 6ringuier saw Oswald -,earing a Hands Off
 Cuba sign and distributing pro-Castro leaflets.  They re-
 ported it to [rinquier who angrily accosted Oswald on the
 street. A  fight ensued and Brinquier and Oswald were ar-
 rested. On  21 August 1963 the two engaged in a radio debate.
 Oswald identified aimself as a marxist and defended the
 Castro cause. Brinquier  is referred to later in the Warren
 Commission Report as the New Orleans delegate to the Revo-
 lutionary Student Directorate (VOL. XI, Pg. 159).

      4.  Tnere is no doubt that  the Conmission actually

DRE as we term it.  Another anti-Castro crqanization ment  onedl/K
