           Supplemental Data:  ESPINOSA flew Air France from Orly
           Airport (confirmed by cachet in pp) on- 29 May 65 and on
           arrival in NYC ,the same day contacted an INS Agent named
           CAVASANJIAN  (Phonetic) who , on the basis of inforoation
           --i the story of ESPINOSA which appeared to affect U.S.
           security, notified  the FBI. Special  Agent Frank O'2RIEN
           of the NY Field  Office of the FBTo interviewed ESPINOSA
           on 2 May 65.   The FBI notified us on-3 May.  I saw
           ESPINOSA on 4 May  in the NY field office of the FBI.       -
           -Frank O'BRIEN was present. (O'BRIEN said that INS at
        -V  ashington, DC  apparently had received a report and        - -
           had notified  FBI headquarters from which a supervisor
   >,    -had   telephoned O'BRIEN to inquiro whether O'BRIEN  knew
           ,about aspects of ESPINOSA's story with derogatory  p'
           '-allegations about the CIA, including(arle WILLIAKISON.
-          Paraphrase  of the sourcers story:  I do not have a high
           regard  for the CIA -r for most ofE'ihe exiled Cubans but
  -- Z      I am against the Castro regimefor which reason I have
           become  involved in these matter about which I must be
   -        sure the CIA is informed.  I contacted the INS and the
            FBI because through them I could ensure contact with a
     -      responsible CIA officer.                        _- --- - ...... .-
            I was a good friend of Rolando CUBELAS.  We conspired
            together against BATISTA and we planned assassinations
            o  Batista supoortars.  We carried out the killing of
            one of the SI  ohiefj._G-f9-tamun, successfully.. A lot
               th-  nings the the, anti-BATISTA students did viere not
            effective but we did more than talk and this old
     -    .* -assassination is proof that people like Rolando and myself
            dot.
            After CASTIIO took over I loft Cuba and engaged in anti-Castro
            activities.  I got shot in the process, I was betrayed by
            some of the Cuban exiles when I was going to bomb Cuba,
            Z saw how the CIA bungled and I became bitter.  I was bitter
            about Rolando too.  I thought that he had turned communist.
       -  .   sent hill a mosnage a long tiro ago, tolling him that he
            Was a traitor and no friend of mina.  That was when a r'an
            American atewardens whom he liked oame to me with a-me&'sage
            from him about how he was still a friend of mine and things
            .iere not like they semmed. I Rot mad and told her to tell
