              MEMORANDUM FOR THE FILE

              SUBJECT:  LANZ, Pedro Diaz



                   1.  on 3 July 1959 Mr.             WE Division, telephoned
              my home, stating that he was unable to contact anyone in the
              Alien Affairs Staff and that General Cabell was interested in
              having a contact made with Immigration on an expedite basis.

                   2.  Mr.        )stated that Subject, the former head of the
              Cuban Air Force, surreptitiously left Cuba and entered Miami on
              2 July 1959.  He was apprehended there by the Inigrationand
              Naturalization Service and is still in I&NS custody.  Mr.
              stated that the FBI has talked to Subject; and that the WH rep-
              resentative, Bernard Reichardt, has been in contact with the
              Head of the Immigration Service in Miami.  He has asked that
              Subject be turned over to him for possible movement to Washing-
              ton.  Mr. Reichardt stated that relationships between the Immi-
              gration and Naturalization Service and himself were very good,
              but that the District Director of I&NS in Miami had stated that
              his Headquarters in Washington had ordered him not to release
              Subject.

                   3.  Mr .Ejstated that General Cabell has been in con-
              tact with the State Department, especially Bill Snow, Deputy
              Director of  Inter-American Affairs, and that Snow has the con-
              currence of Secretary Rubottom, who agrees with General Cabell
              that Subject  should be turned-over to CIA for exploitation. Mr.
           o[         stated that General Cabell directed that  migrat ion be
              contacted  to effect the release of Subject to CIA.

                    4.  I contacted Herb Nice at his home and explained the
               situation to him.  He stated that he would attempt to contact
               the proper officials in I&NS to effect the turnover. Some three
               hours later Mr. Nice returned my call, stating that due to the
               holiday weekend, he had had difficulty locating I&NS officials
               and he has learned that General Swing had issued orders that
               Subject's parole be revoked and that Subject would be held in
               the custody of I&NS; that the Regional Director from Richmond,
               a Mr. Shoneberger, would go to Miami on the case. Mr. Nice
               stated it was his understanding that, because there was some
