JOLC ; 78-a1L5:.
26 July 1978
MEMORANDUM FOR    Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
FROM              S.D. Breckinridge
SUBJECT           HSCA Request for Sensitive CIA file
1. Action Re uested: That you approve the recommenda-
tion in paragrap  6 to wthhold files on Teresa Proenza
Proenza with a generalized explanation to the HSCA Chief
Counsel of the reasons therefor.
2. Background: The HSCA investigators have come
across reerences to the name of Teresa Proenza Proenza,
who served in 1963 as the Cultural Attache at the Cuban
Embassy in Mexico City, and have requested her file.
The files concerning this person lead to a very sensitive
deception operation that resulted in the jailing of
certain Cuban officials, including Miss Proenza. The
ramifications of the operation are extensive but do not,
of themselves, relate .to the assassination of J.F. Kennedy.
3. The fact that Miss Proenza was ordered back to
Cuba: suddenly in December 1963, shortly after the assassina-
tion.of President Kennedy, may make her of special interest
to the HSCA; however, the cause for the recall was the CIA
operation.
4. HSCA has not been exposed to the techniques of
deception operations. This particular operation continues
to have considerable sensitivity, without reference to the
techniques that we would wish to not have exposed to this
Committee. Attached at Tab A is a paper summarizing the
nature of the operation. At Tab B is a shorter summary
prepared as a first attempt to get an .agreement with the
HSCA investigators to not inquire into this matter further.
5. The Deputy Director for Operations has approved
recommendations of Chief, IAD/CAS, concurred in by Chief
of LA Division, that this matter not be shown to HSCA.
