         SUBJECT         .'Allegation by a-Senior Cuban Diplomat
                          Concerning  the Role of Cuban Exiles in
                          the Assassination  of President Kennedy


              1.  According to a fairly reliable  source, a'senior
        Cuban  diplomat stationed abroad made  certain charges in
        late.September  1977 concerning the  alleged role of Cuban
        exiles  in the assassination of President John  F. Kennedy.
        This  diplomat made these allegations  to his colleagues
        in  the course of an. official meeting in his embassy. The
        diplomat  said, among other things, that Cuban  exiles
        such  as former Cuban Air Force officer D  i a z Lan (fnu)
        and  others had been involved in the assassination  of
        President  Kennedy.  The diplomat referred  to the assas-
        sination  in the context of a security lecture  in which
        he claimed  that counter-revolutionary- activities by Cuban
        exiles have  increased in- recent months: Fie said that
        recent ,information had. arrived implicating D i. a z in the
        Kennedy -assassination. -The diplomat did not mention  any
        other: Cuban exiles by name or provide any Curther.details.
        He did not  identify the source of his information, although -
        cur souirc:- had ithe ii.pressic-  that  tIc  d  p  : 's  .-3g -
        tions were based  on a recent cable from the Cuban Ministry
        of Foreign Affairs.

             2.' This division  has no other factual information
        concerning  the diplomat's allegations.  We believe that-
        the basis for  the diplomat's statement was, probably, an
        article which appeared  in the New York Daily News on
        20 Septenber 1977.   This artic-le quoted Mritza
        L o r e n z' as saying  that she, Orlando  B o. s c h, Frank
