Mr. th R Haiti Desk Called ea 25 Ma 1967 and state that had been advised by an asset In Nw York that Rom Joares Leon had bees arrested by the FBI in New York City on that dat. A beah warrant for the arrest of Lem had been issued by the District Court for the Southera District of Florid stace he failed to appear for his arraignment io March 1967. He was Indicted along with Rolando Maserrer for plotting an invasion of Naiti. Mr. said that they had no operatioml interest in Leon$ but their aerces had indicated Leon migt b considered a poltical asset in the peat Davalier ra to Rati. Mr. ( )a) d my opinin as to whether or not tbis possible atLon might have an efect on rges being dropped aainst him. I told that it seemed highly Ualikely that th dge or the United States Attorney wauld consider dropping the charges since Leon had failed to appear before the court when so ordered. Z. I called Mr. Morris, Interal Security Division. Department of Justice, the aterney handling both the Maaserrer and Bosch prosecutions, and told him that Leon had been arrested. U was in a previous conversation with Mr. Morris that he told me that the United States Attorney expected to obtain the indictmnat against Bosch on 31 May 1967. Mr. Morris said that both the United States Attorney and the Department of Justice were considering postponag the dat of bringing. the inditIment against Bosech because of the problems which had developd in Miami after a Cuban reftgee named Rivere had been arrested. The information available iadieates that Orlando Bosch has been the leader of the protest demonstrations against Rivere's arrest, t weald therefore seem prudent to delay the indietmeat rather than precipitate greater demonstrations to the Cuban community of Miami.
