SUBJECT          Allegation by a Senior Cuban Diplomat
Concerning the Role of Cuban Exiles in
the Assassination of President Kennedy
1. According to a fairly reliable source, a senior
Cuban diplomat stationed abroad made certain charges in
1.ate.September 1977 concerning the alleged role of Cuban
exiles in the assassination of. President John F. Kennedy.
This diplomat made these allegations to his colleagues
in the course of an official meeting in his embassy. The
diplomat said, among other things, that Cuban exiles
such as former Cuban Air Force officer D i a z Lan (fnu)
and others had been involved in the assassination of
President Kennedy. The diplomat referred to the assas-
sination in the context of a security lecture in which
he claimed that counter-revolutionary activities by Cuban
exiles have increased in recent months. He said that
recent information had arrived implicating D i a z in the
Kennedy assassination. The diplomat did not mention any
other Cuban exiles by name or provide anl further details.
He did not identify the source of his information, although
our  sourcn  had  the  ihpressien  that  £. l.t .  ii  t'  '
tions were based on a recent cable from the Cuban Ministry
of Foreign Affairs.-
2.' This division has no other factual information
concerning. the diplomat's allegations. We believe that
the basis for the diplomat's statement was, probably, an
article which appeared in the New York Daily News on
20 September 1977. This article quoted Maritza
L o r e n z as saying that she, Orlando B o. s c. h, Frank

exile  brothers  and  Le- Harvey  C  s  .u  1  u  for;.,  ,:
