               SUBJECI       :  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 diolomat stationed abroad made certain charges in
               lateSeptember  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)
               andotRers  had been involved in the assassination of
               President Kennedy.  The diplomat referred to the assas-
               sination in the context of a security lecture in which
               he claimed that counter-revolutionarv activities by Cuban
               exiles have increased in .recent months. He said that
               recent information had arrived implicating D i a z in the
               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 infornation, although
               our source had the i::pressio n that o   *2c...C:  t':  'Il  ..
               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 September 1977.  This article quoted Maritza
               L o r e n z  as saying that she, Orlando  B o. s c. h, Frank
               Sturg.i s, Pedro D i a z. Lanz. two unnamed Cuban
               exile brothers and Lee liar vey 0 5 .  I 1  foried
