       Titled CIA Tied to False Oswald Story

   B.  Identification of the Mr. X in the
       Anderson Column


       1. The attached column,. citing the testimony of a Mr. X.
 alleges that a CIA agent  tried to link Oswald to Cuban intelli-
 gence officers in Mexico.  There  is, of course, no substance to
 the column's allegations.  The column identifies the source as
 Mr. X because of attempts on his life, but subsequently gives
 enough informetion- on Mr. X to establish his identity.

      2.  According to the Anderson column, Mr. X was first met
 by his CIA contact in Havana before relations with U.S./Cuba were-
 severed.  Mr. X had helped to organize bank accountants to em-
 bezzle Cuban government funds to finance anti-Castro causes.
 Mr. X was reportedly recruited by a Morris 3ishop (CIA contact),
 to *plan an attempt on Castro's life. The plan was to fire a
 bazooka from a nearby apartment building while Castro was deliver-
 ing one of his marathon speeches.  According to the Anderson
 column, the plot was discovered by Castro's police and Mr. X
 escaped to Miami. Mr. X also  reportedly tried to assassinate
 Castro in Chile in 1971 in league with the Venezuelan Luis Posada
 Carriles, who is now being detained in Caracas for the 6 October
 Cuhana airline bombing: The Aiderson column ends with the  report
 that Mr. X worked for CIA until 1973 for expenses, but was paid
$2S3,000 in cash by Morris Bishop when he was terminated.
