        SUBJECT           Allegation by a-Senior Cuban Diplomat
                          Concerning the Role of Cuban Exiles in
                          the Assassination of President Kennedy


             1.  According  to a fairly reliable source, a'senior
        Cuban diplomat  stationed abroad made certain charges in
        late.September  1977 concerning the alleged role of Cuban
        exiles in  the assassination of President.John F. Kennedy.
        This diplomat made  these allegations .to his colleagues
        in the course of  an. official meeting in his embassy. The
        diplomat said,  among other things, that Cuban exiles
        such as former Cuban Air  Force officer D i a z Lan (fnu)
        and others had been  involved in the assassination of
        President Kennedy.  The diplomat  referred to the assas-
        sinatich in the context of  a security lecture in which
        he claimed that counter-revolutionary. activities by Cuban
        exiles have increased in recent months.  He said  that
        recent information had. arrived implicating D i. a z in th
        Kennedy-assassination. -The diplomat did not. mention any
        .other Cuban exiles by name or provide any further.details.
        He did not identify the source of his information, although
        cur sourcc had the impreqsion  that tie dp    :'s     g:
        tions were based on a recent cable from the Cuban Ministry
        of Foreign Affairs.

             2.  This division has no other factual information
        concerning the diplomat's allegations. We believe that
        the basis for the diplomat's statement was, probably, an
        article which appeared in the New York Daily News on
        20 Septenber 1977.  This article quoted Maritza
        L o r e n z  as saying that she, Orlando  B o. s c h, Frank:
        S t- u r g i s, Pedro P i a z  Lanz. two unnained Cuban
        eA.ile bi others and Lee fl[ive) 0 s 6 U . d  i    .
