           MEMORANDUM       .

           SUBJECT:        Garrison Investigation of Kennedy Assas ination:
                           Allegations of Involvement, CIA and C>'oan


                  1. Mr.                of the SB Division wyr'ote a memorandum
           entitled Possible DRE Animnus *     -wresidentKennedy and dated
           8 March 1967. At that time Mr.        had recetly returned from a
           tour of duty in Yugoslavia. While there he hadread about the Warren
           Commission's  investigation and had noted t pre-assassination encounter
           in New Orleans between Carlos Bringuier f the Student Revolutionary
           Directorate (DRE) and Lee Harvey Osw,$vd. He recalled his own dealings
           in Miami with the DRE, a CIA-subsid'eed group. He considered the
           DRE  members  whom  he knew to be  predictable and untrustworthy. He
           speculated as to whether DRE ele ents could have been involved in the
           Kennedy assassination.. He rec  mended that CIA investigate this
           possibility if it had not alread done so.     was assigned to Miami
           from July 1962 to August 19 . Neither CI/R&A nor SB has a retention
           copy of the memorandum,   ut Mr. is still at Headquarters.

                     Mr.  Arthur  ooley of CI/R&A discussed this matter with the
           following members of  H/COG:

                        a.    ias Margaret. Forsythe. She stated that CIA's
                  interest in he DRE had been made known to the office of the
                  Attorney  eneral by letters of 9 January and 18 April'1963
                  -addresse'd to J. Walter Yeagley.: The earlier letter said, in
                  part, The DRE is of interest to this Agency which. sponsors
                  andsupports its propaganda and intelligence collection activity
                  in the Western Hemisphere . . . as the DRE is not a group
                  under complete Agency control, the above does not insure that
                  they will not undertake isolated paramilitary operations without
                  prior notification.

                         b. Messrs.                  then recently returned
                  from a tour of the Miani Station, and Carl Trettin, DC of the
                  CI Branch, WH/COG,  who  knew Bringuier and was stationed
