handle is hein.jfk/jfkarch78737 and id is 1 raw text is: 104-10303-10006 2022 RELEASE UNDER THE PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 1992 7 SEP1976 MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence FROM John H. Waller Inspector General SUBJECT : Jack Anderson Reference to 28 November 1963 CIA Cable 1. The Operations Group of CI Staff has provided a copy of the cable about which you inquired. A copy is attached at Tab A. It is a dissemination of a report by a British journalist stating that a man named Ruby was in Cuba in 1959, where he visited an American gangster-gambler named Santos, who was living luxuriously in jail. This dissemination was based on a 27 November 1963 cable from London, a copy of which is attached at Tab B. A follow-up cable from London on 29 November commented 'on the source. of the story, raising a question as to his reliability. A copy is at Tab C. A more detailed statement about the man is contained in a report passed to the FBI on 12 December 1963, a copy of which is at Tab D. 2. On 7 January 1964 the FBI provided CIA with a report that Jack Ruby did travel to Cuba in 1959; a copy is at Tab E. On 30 January CIA provided additional information to the Bureau on this subject; a copy is at Tab F. 3. The following points of coincidence are probably of interest to Senator Baker: Jack Ruby did travel to Cuba in 1959, as stated in the report that gave rise to the present query; the name Santos is also the given name of Trafficante, although it is not clear that these are the same persons. While there are reservations about the reliability of the source of the report which gave rise to the present question, we are not in a position at this time to evaluate it definitively. It is noted that the description of Santos as living in luxury in a Cuban prison is similar to a version also reported in a 16 May 1974 story in the Outlook Section of the Washington Post.
