               1.   In his book, Give Us This Day (The Inside Story of
           the CIA and the Bay of Pigs Invasion...), on pages 98-103,
           Everett Howard HUNT, Jr., gives an account of some of the
           activities of Pedro Luis DIAZ LANZ who defected from Castro
           Cuba in mid-1959 as the first chief of Castro's air force.
           HUNT points out that in October 1959 DIAZ LANZ piloted a
           small plane dumping hundreds of anti-Castro leaflets over
           Havana. DIAZ  LANZ's copilot on the flight is .identified as
           Frank FIORINI, aka:  Frank STURGIS. HUNT  goes on to describe
           what would appear to be personal contacts with DIAZ LANZ in
           the Miami area-,-utili-zing-the services of Bernard BARER in
           his contacts with DIAZ LANZ and other Cubans. HUNT  further
           describes his attempts to involve DIAZ LANZ with the Agency
           in the invasion, but HUNT's overtures were not accepted by
           ieadquart rs.--The-conin1ding-paragraph-of-this-sccount-states
                    After the invasion the Kennedy Administration
                could not do enough for Manuel RAY.  A cozy post
                was secured for him in Puerto Rico as Chief of
                Munoz Marin's housing projects.  I am sure that no
                equal effort was made in behalf of Pedro Luis DIAZ
                LANZ, for our national tradition has become one of
                shabby discrimination against known anti-Communists.

                    NOTE:  HUNT's contacts with DIAZ LANZ occurred
                    during the period circa October 1960 to circa
                    November 1961 while HUNT was assigned to JMARC,
