Visit of Cuban E:.ile Victor Espinosa
In accordance with our conversation yesterday I have set
forth below a report on the visit of Victor Espinosa.
A Venezuelan Christian Democratic friend of mine, Valmore
Acevedo, called me frcm Ne-w York City yeatarday morning L ask
as a personal favor that I receive a Cuban exile living there
who had something amazing' to tell *me.' When I expressed mild
skepticism, Acevedo urgently repeated his request and I agreed.
Within a surprisingly short time the Cuban, Victor Espinosa,
arrived at my office (he said he had taken the plane immedi-
ately). Espinosa gave his address sad telephone number as
follows: 415 East 52nd Street, HA 1-7875. A summary of his
statements follows.
Espinosa has been involved in Cuban liberation activities
for many years. He opposed Batista and opposes Castro. He is
not a member of the March 13 Movement, but has long been very -
olose to many of its leaders, including Cubelas. Espinosa was
trained by CIA, in both Louisiana and Guatemala, and was one
of those who was sent into Cuba prior to -the Bay of Pigs. He
plans to become an American citizen in August of this year.
Be admires the United States and American strength and compe-
tence in many fields. He asked a New York acquaintenance of
ia for the name of someone in the Department involved in
Latin American affairs. He was told Acevedo knew such an -
Efficial. Espinosa asked- Acevedo (without, he claims,. re-
vealing his story), and the latter called me.                        j
A little ear3fer thIo year Espinosa received a request
from one of his reliabl 'Cuban contacts in Europe, asking that
he come there quickly. Espinosa went to Miami, obtained falas
Cuban papers, and went to Pari©. There, apparently in the
resence of the Cuban Ambassador to France, he met one of the.
top security men of the Castro regime, who had come to Paris
for that purpose. During various mneting!u both in Franc    d ad
