2022 RELEASE   UNDER  THE  PRESIDENT  JOHN   F. KENNEDY  ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 1992


1 April 1960

SUBJECT:  Mareos DIAZ Lans


       1. It would appear  that subject left the U.S. for Mexico same months ago
 on the advice of a lawyer, that he went to Mexico, thereby violating his parole,
 and then couldn't  ret a visa to get back into the U.S. He was a little upset
 about this since he says he was  just trying to legalise his status in the U.S.
 After a couple of mo: .hs, it was finally agreed that he would be allowed to re-
 enter the U.S. on parole.  It is very confusing -ho advised what, w.o was pushing
 who,  or why, but I&NS seemed to think CIA was pushing the hardest, but now has
 changed its mind.  Be that as it nay, they seem to have set up two interviews for
 subject  at the Embassy, at the first of which he was told all the bad aspects
 of his situation, but--failed to tell hin they had agreed to let him back in the
 U.S. on parole.  So suject  took off on his own with the aid of sc-a Catholic
 organizaticn,  swam the river and made his way to Washington where he contacted
 an unstated Congressicnal, probably Senate, cosdittee,.who passed him on to I&NS,
 apparently  Cenral  Swing hinself.  The General was not pleased, hbAee   obviou1
 ne had a hot potato.  In short there were objections to every possible solution.
 Subject has a wife and two children legally resident in Florida and one of the
 children is an American citizen, and owns a home there, so paroling the subject
 anywhere else might cause some bad publicity.

      2.  In the absence of Mr. Seehafer, Mr. JUL.N of  XH Division was asked to
 go over with Mr. Pennington to a meeting with I103, at 11:30 on 1 April
 Mr. Henessey reviewed the case and wanted to know what CIA wanted done with DIAZ,
 and Mr. Fennington and another person said they had talked to Shef  wrards and it
 had been agreed that the new policy on paroles would orobably be the Nest thing
 as that might keep him out of our hair in Florida. Mr. Henessey reviewed a lot
 of the legal situation and said in practice it wouldn't work, and he wanted an im-
 mediate decision as to whether CIA would say that it was in the national interest,
 and in writing, that CIA wanted subject held smwhere.   After consultation with
 Col. King, Mr. Reynolds and Miss Tharpe, lHrJOMDAN said that it didn't seem likely
 that CIA would express in writing much of..ary desires or wishes about subject.
 Mr. fenessey then brought subject in and gave him a stern talk about his obligations
 and conduct ander parole. The parole paper was finally drawn up, and at about
 4 p.m., subject was released.                                       -

     3.  Kr. JCRDAN had a brief conversation with subject in a taxi roing dawn town
as subject was in a hurry.  He implied that I&KS had impressed on him to get out
of town as cuickly as rossible, and said they had told him to go to his home in .-
