Source: Victor ESPINOSA Hernandez (201-285147), born 26
August 1937 in Cardenas, Matanzas, Cuba, a PM trainee who
was terminated as a malcontent on 20 March 1961. Present
address is 415 East 52 Street, NYC, where his telephone is
HA 1-7875.
Supplemental Data: ESPINOSA flew Air France from Orly
Airport (confirmed by cachet in pp) on 29 May 1965 and on
arrival in NYC the same day contacted an INS Agent named
CAVASANJIAN (ph) who, on the basis of information in the
story of ESPINOSA which appeared to affect U.S. security,
notified the FBI. Special Agent Frank O'BRIEN of the NY'
Field Office of the FBI interviewed ESPINOSA on 2 May 1965.
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 Washington, D.C. apparently had
received a report and had notified FBI headquarters from which
a supervisor had telephoned O'BRIEN to inquire whether O'BRIEN
knew about aspects of ESPINOSA's story with derogatory allega-
$4    tions about the CIA, including Earle WILLIAMSON.)
Paraphrase of the source's story:
1. I do not have a high regard for the CIA or for most
of the exiled Cubans but I am against the Castro regime for            -
which reason I have become involved in these matters 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.
2. I was a good friend of Rolando CUBEIA. We conspired
together against BATISTA and we planned assassinations of
Batista supporters. We carried out the killing of one of the
SIM  hief-RG-G an, successfully. A lot of th.ngs the                 4
-inti-BATISTA students did were not effective but we did more
than talk and this old assassination is proof that people
like Rolando and myself act.
