        MEMORANDUM

        SUBJECT:  Nestor Antonio MORENO Lopez  AMICE-27j (201-312091)


             1.  MORENO was-born on 25 August 1921 in Havana, Cuba.

        His father was a Cuban Senator (1940-44) and the Cuban Minister

        of Public Works (1944).  MORENO became a lawyer and continued

        to live in comfortable circumstances.  He became involved in

        the anti-BATISTA movement, apparently in the late 1950's, and

        ultimately in the 26th of July Movement.  After the revolution,

        one of his clients was Camilo CIENFUEGOS.  In Miami after

        defection, he was associated with the JURE.

             2.  MORENO's specific activities in the anti-BATISTA

        movement were not reported and apparently were unexceptional.

        A point worth noting about his activities before defection is

        his acquaintance with Tad SZULC, at least by 1959, and with

        Jorge VOLSKY.  MORENO's background as.a lawyer did not prepare

        him for active revolutionary involvement.  When he defected in

        April 1961, therefore, he associated with anti-CASTRO exiles,

        particularly VOLSKY, but did not become actively involved.

        He was assessed in 1963 as being unfriendly to CIA.

             3.  About February 1963 MORENO and Enrique CAYADO Ribera

        reportedly collaborated in the formulation of an operational

        plan to overthrow the Castro government.  They discussed it

        with Jorge VOLSKY, who then passed it to Tad SZULC.  VOLSKY

        and SZULC apparently conspired to have the plan presented to

        the political authorities (Robert HURWITCH and the KENNEDY

     .  Administration) in Washington in order to by-pass the dis-
