          MEMORANDUM                      º

          SUBJECT:  Nestor Antonio MORENO Lopez  (AMICE-27) (201-312091)


                1. MORENO was born on 25 August 1921 in Havana, Cuba.

           His- father was a Cuban Senator (1940-44) and the Cuban Minister

           of Public Works (1944). MORENO became a lawyer and continued

           to live in comfortable circumstances. He became involved in

           the anti-BATISTA movement, apparently in the late 1950's, and

           ultimately in the 26th of July Movement. After the revolution,

           one of his clients was Camilo CIENFUEGOS. In Miami after

           defection, he was associated with the JURE.

                2. MORENO's  specific activities in the anti-BATISTA

           movement were not reported and apparently were unexceptional.

           A point worth noting about his activities before defection is

           his acquaintance with Tad SZULC, at least by 1959, and with

           Jorge VOLSKY. MORENO's background as a  lawyer did not prepare

           him for active revolutionary involvement. When he defected in

           April 1961, therefore, he associated with anti-CASTRO exiles,

           particularly VOLSKY, but did not become actively involved.

           He was assessed in 1963 as being unfriendly to CIA.

                3.  About February 1963 MORENO and Enrique-CAYADO Ribera

           reportedly collaborated in the formulation of an operational

           plan to overthrow the Castro government. They discussed  it

           with Jorge VOLSKY, who then passed it to Tad SZULC. VOLSKY

           and SZULC apparently conspired to have the plan presented to

           the political authorities (Robert HURWITCH and the KENNEDY

           Administration) in Washington in order to by-pass the dis-









                                           I0                           93
