              MEMORANDUM

              SUBJECT:        Garrison Investigation of Kennedy Assassination:
                              Allegations of Involvement, CIA and Cuban


                     1  Mr.      n -.      of the SB Division wrote a memorandum
              entitled Possible DRE Animus Toward President Kennedy and dated
              8 March 1967. At. that time Mr. /Thimi ashard recently returned from a
              tour of duty inYugos La   While there he had read about the Warren
              Commission's investigation and had noted the pre-assassination encounter
              in New Orleans between Carlos Bringuier of the Student Revolutionary
              Directorate (DRE) and Lee Harvey Oswald. He recalled his own dealings
              in Miami with the DRE, a CIA-subsidized group. He considered the
              DRE members   whom he knew to be unpredictable and untrustworthy. He
              speculated as to whether DRE elements could have been involved in the
              Kennedy assassination. He recommended  that CIA investigate this
              possibility if it had not already done so. a i was assigned to Miami
              from July 1962 to August 1963. Neither CI/R&A nor SB has a retention
              copy of ther memorandum, but Mr. ,I omas is still at Headquarters.

                    2.  Mr. Arthur Dooley of CI/R&A discussed this matter with the
              following members of WH/COG:

                           a.  Miss Margaret Forsythe. She stated that CIA's
                    interest in the DRE had been made known to the office of the
                    Attorney General by letters of 9 January and 18 April 1963
                    addressed to J. Walter Yeagley. The earlier letter said, in
                    part, The DRE  is of interest to this Agency which sponsors
                    and supports 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 Miami Station, and Carl Trettin, DC of the
                    CI Branch, WH/COG,   who knew Bringuier and was stationed
