Kennedy Basis for My Knowledge About This Topic 1. I served from 29 March 1962 to 20 August 1966 in the Foreign Intelligence Branch of the Miami Station. Duties included handling a certain number of Cuban exiles resident in Miami used to support FI operations into Cuba. I also kept up loose contact with other Cuban exiles who were considered informants on specialized aspects of Cuban affairs and Cuban exile affairs. My duties also included workine very closely with the Station Covert Action Branch and less closely with the Counterintelligence and Paramilitary Branches.

One reason for reducing telecons was security and the other reason was that Headquarers officers were not always careful to fol- low their telecons with a cable or dispatch for the record. I describe this communication situation because it is quite pos- sible that immediately following the Kennedy murder Headquarters may have phoned requiredments to COS, Miami and Miami Station's Office of Security to conduct investigations and then failed to follow up with cables for the record. 3. From mid-April 1962 until shortly after Mr. Shackley's departure PCS in.the spring of 1965 the Miami Station sent Hqs. a situation report by cable at the end of each.work day. Each operating and administrative component of the Station contributed to this SITREP, which was produced with specific topical sections about developments at the Station, in Cuba, in intelligence reporting and in operations under way.Occasionally the-SITREP would report results of investigations conducted by Station SECRET
