KENNEDY TO TAMPA, FLORIDA NOVEMBER, 1963 On November 5, 1963,; TP'T-1, a Cuban exile who has furnished reliable information in the past, and who is familiar with activities of anti-CASTRO organizations 'in the Tampa, Florida area, advised that representatives of anti-CASTRO organizations who meet weekly on Thursday' evenings, have continued to discuss some sort of activity planned for President KENNEDY's visit to Tampa. Some of the individuals favor making up placirds stating what KENNEDY has said at ,various Cuban functions, and using them in the form of a picket. Other persons do not favor the picket type' demonstration. Plans are not definite yet as to what the anti-CASTRO groups will do upon the President's arrival. On October 21, 1963, TP T-2, who has furnished reliable information in the past, advised that there was a meeting of State Officers and E.C.s of:,the United Florida Ku'Klux Klan held 'at Orlando, Florida, on Sunday October 13, 1963. There were about 125 to 135 persons in attendance when the meeting got underway, and during the 'meeting 'CURTIS BENEFIELD talked of a plan to make some 'signs and picket' the Armory at Tampa on November 17 or 18, 1963, when President' KENNEDY appears for a din- ner and to make a speech there. Theplan is being devised to show RENNEDY 'that' he is not as well thought of in Florida as he thinks' he is. BENEFIELD talked of getting about' 500 Cubans to' march in one group, with 'Klansmen, State's Righters, White Citizens' Coun- cil.members, and others, to march in another,' with the hope of having about one thousand marchers all together.
