Now, has shol:1n us, your:
HorH,r , thst: these allegntions ar.e made on th e par.l: of
defendants uho nre Involved in thes e 6nci
the a llegations, if there is a basis in feet: them
might be relevant and And we
are not trying to keep out anything th3t yQur Honor
feals is relav4nt. but I do feel that it is a duty on
my part to to out any roferencQ to the CIA
which slrnply delvea in the realm of speeu!ation or
aecusation without any foundation upon which to lsy
sucb a foundation.
In addition to that, your Honor, I
would like to mention that to allow the defense to
go far afield in this area of examination there
ia no ba•ia for it whatsoever, could very well have
eome effect on the question of national security.
Tbia gets ua into a very sensitive
area. And, as I said to you end I sa7 again, we
again,•we aro not trying to keep anything that ia rel
vent out of this case. but to have them erose examine
1??
THE COURT: Mr. Wittling, I am goine
to int errupt you just to this extent.
1 do not understand that it is the
  pos ition--that is, I understand it is
only seconda ry position--that if they are to go i nt o
the ques tion of the CIA's activities, that it might
involve na t1.onal security. Their first position is
that it is unfa i r and not proper to cast upon them
the burden vf refuting any inferences which may be
drawn from any of these witnesses on cross
that the CIA or any other governmental agency may
have sanctioned officially or informally or any other
way the de fendants' alleged activities, and that if,
in fact, you intend to do this and intend to raise
thi$ defenHe specifically or by inference, that you
should be required to proffer whatever testimony you
are going to have that will give you the right to
raise the defense • .
Now, it seems to me that this is a
reasonable request. You should not be able to infer
that these alleged activities were sanctioned by the
United States Government, and you should not be
to do it on cross examination by your questions,
you a c t unlly are no!ng co ha ve aoce proof,
of some kind thst will raise that •
If y ou do have ouch testimony, then it seems to me
t hat   it is o( and .ma y wall be o f a c ri tical
natn.t' e ) that we should proffer it.
What do you see tha t i8 wrong
that?
l-iR. WITTt.ING: Judge, the be st proof
i s t h. e \id tness himself, and if we can ask the questio
of the wi tne s s whe ther or not he was employed,
wo t k e d f or or was otherwise engaged in United States
Government activities, hia denial of it should be
suf ficient. We should not be to go further.
THE COURT: You ought not to be able
to do i t in front of the jury.
lffi. WITTLING: Why not?
THE COURT: Because it raises an
inference in spite of my instructions which I have
alrea dy given, that no question asked which the
Court sustains an objection, and no testimony given
which the Court later strikes, should be treated by
tbe jury as raising the In spite of that,
we all know that does happen, especially when it is
he has 8n i rit eres t in t he cauno or no t
tCJ       t:hat A c o nv1.ction aris r.Hl . ,.rhis 1.:il r.un of
tho mill . y our Honor . To do ot: hc t:'wise v-10uld ha mper
ou r dcfanse, wou ld l eave. us in a defeunc l ese pos ition
b efore t his Cou r t.
THE COURT: Anyth ing else, gentlemen?
I em going to r equ ire, t hen, the
def ondunts to proffer any testimony they may have
i nclie a t f. ng tha t the CIA or other Gover nmental a gon-
cy is involve d i n some way in the s ponsorship of
thes e a lleged nctivitie s o f the defendants, or else
t ba de f enda nts may not s sk any questions designed to
show that, in f nct, they were sponsored by the CIA
or other Gove rnmental agency.
I am not, by that, trying to require
you- - It well be that you do not know the

I am not saying

i ns t llnce, the
  i f
you wish to ask him

no t going to let you ask these questions in front of

Memorandum to Mr. Su11ivan
Re: COMMANDOS L-66
105-117222
inquiries it Will be all right to acknowledge that FBI has instituted
inquiries to determine if there are any violations of Federal statutes
within our investigative jurisdiction. It was pointed out to him that
the activities might constitute violations not only of the neutrality
statutes but oJ Registration Act and he should explore this possi-
bility
ACTION:
(1) Since persons connected with L-66 are located in the
territories covered not only by Miami Office but by our San Juan,
Washington Field and New York Offices, the latter three offices have been
furnished by teletype the same instructions which were orally issued to
Miami.
(2) If you approve, the attached letter will be sent to the
Attorney General, with copies for Deputy Attorney General and Mr. Yeagley,
confirming our oral conversations with Mr. Yeagley and the fact that the
Department has requested this investigation.

X . 11IOVIMIENTO I NSURRECCIONAL DE RECUPER..A..CION
REVOLUCIONA.RIA. (:MIRR) AND ORLANDO BOSCH
AVILA
(324) Wben four of Castro:s army officers and 100 men deserted and
left for t.he Las Villas Mountains in August 1960, they formed the
nucleus of the Movimiento Insurreccional de Recuperacion Revolu-
-cionaria (MIRR) . (l) Helping lay the groundwork for this organiza-
t.ion wns the former chief of the 26th of July Movement in Las Villas
Prm-ince, Dr. Orlando Bosch Avila. Bosch had left Cuba 1 month
previously and, from Miami, issued a call for rebel army men to
desert. (3) Promoting the defection of army personnel and carrying
out sabotage operations throug-hout Cuba were the earlv primm-v
activities of the MIRR. (4) In both. it was extremely effeetive. •
( 3:25) Former rebel army officer Victor Paneque assumed milit.arv
l eadership of the group (5) and, within a few months of" his escape
from Cuba. orgamzed a team of infilt rators to reenter the country to
<'·Ont.inue l\ITRR operations. ( 6)
(326) Orlando Bosch became general c-oordinator of UIRR, working
with individuals n.nd other groups involved in operations against
Cuba nnd securing- necessary financial backing. ( 7)
A pediatrician by profession, (8) Bosch became immersed in
his political movement and for 18 years carried out a crusade to over-
throw Castr o. His efforts at t imes have been characterized as "bum-
bling.': but he has also been termed "single-mindedly" and "morally
cominitted."(9) Widely Yiewed in the U.S. press as a Cuban patriot
when he first began his a.nti-Castro activities. Bosch:s incrensed acts
of Yiolence l!radually chnn.ged his image to that of a terrorist. ( 10)
The intensit.y and violence of his acti vities, which have always  
publicized, were a ma.jor factor in the committt>e's decision
to examine Bosch and the l\HRR among those Cuban exile organiza-
tior1s considered capable of involvement in an assassination con-
spi rnc.y.
(328) Bosch was interviewed by the committee in Cuartel Snn
Carlos prison in Venezuela. He is charged with complicity in the
October 6, 1975, bombing of a Cubana Airlines plane whicl1 resulted
in the deaths of 73 peop lc. (17) Althoug-h denying involvement in the
airplane bombing. Bosch sa.id he approved of it. (15!) Claiming
rorism a necessary e;il in fighting Castro. Bosch stated. "You have
t.o fight violence with ;iolence. At times you cannot avoid hurting
innocc.nt people." (19)
(329) The adivities of the MIRR in the early 1960's wP.re carried
out by a small group of inruviduals. There were ·reportedly never a
great deal of members in Miami. (14) In 19fi6, "Bosch claimed to have
onlv 20 men outside 1tbarni. located in Yarious seaport cities in the
trnjted States (15) One of the major of the 11ITRR wa.c:: to
blow up ,-cssels trading with Cuba .. (16) In this, it was effecti;e, but
(89)
90
..
....
the JHI RR successes in the early 1960's was a result of its association·.
with a number of other anti-Castro organizations and individuals.
(330) Bosch said that in late 1961 he was contacted by EYelio Duque,.
leader of Ejercito Cubano Anticommunista (EC.A.), who indicated he
might be getting .CIA. support.for his group and wanted Bosch to join
him. (17) Together they· submitted a plan to the Agency outlinina·
their conditions for CIA support and were informed about a montt
later the plan hnd been approved. (18) Acting ns the political lender-
in this alliance, Bosch Duque, tf1e military leader, at a camp in:
HomeStead, Fla., and was in touch with a CIA liaison officer. (19) .
(331) Bosch soon came to the conclusion that the camp was an ex-
ercise in futility. He believed that the Cll had no intention of mount-
ing another invasion or initiating attacks against Cuba. He felt the-
(].::3.-sponsored camps were merely a means of keeping the exiles 'busy
and, privately and unofficially, his CIA contact confirmed his sus-
picions, Bosch said. .A.fter 9 months of :frustrating he·
published a pamphlet, "The Tragedy of Cuba.." in which he accused
the United States of misleading the Cuban exiles. He sent a copy to-
President Kennedy and then closed do'WD. the camp. (f31) After this,
.BosCJ.\ sa.id he had no more dealings with the CIA. (!3£)
(332) Bosch ma.intained an ongoing relationship, bezinning in late ·
:HJ60, with Frank Sturgis, well-1.--nown anti-Castro sold1er of fortune;
(gS) Alexander Rorke, former clerk at the FBI; (1!4) and , ,.illiaru:
Johnson, an .A..merican pilot who, along with Sturgis, proricled in-
formation to the CIA on Cuban exile actiYities. (!ZS) Johnson had
full control over all UIRR operations. (116) Bosch was concerned with
financing raids against Cuba and did not know the nature of the mis-
sions until their completion. .
t o33) According to J olmson, American pilots "ere placed under ·
contract to fly three airstrikes o>er Culm for the }.fillR (!38) Th<'y
were to receive S2,000 per mission. (!29) Jolmson admitted his own
motiYc ''as purely merc_enarJ:. (SO) .
(334) Although relatJYely mactlYe m 1962, (31) the MJRR engaged
in a series o£ bombing raids oyer Cuba in 19G3 primarily aimed at de-
stroying the production of sugar (SE) in an efi'OJt to disrupt the
economy. It also reportedly conducted a.irstrikes against a MJG base ·
in Cnba (3-'J) and nrious other strikes aimed at targets. .
(34) The ra..i.ds were effectiYe but not without risk. In several inst.nnces,.
the 1-aiders' planes were shot down and pilots killed. (85)
( 335) Concurrent with an association with ad nnturers, .
the l\ITRR also had associations with other exile organizations. It
planned raids against Cuba in cooperation with Commandos L (36)
and p..iscussed unity rnids with members of RECE. ( 37) Bosch, at
this time, was interested in establishing a base of operations in the·
Dominican Republic to- fa:ci1il::iiteTong-range-planning. ( 38)
{33G) The documentation the committee examined'Iailed._to
how .the :MJRR was able to finance its extensive operations; further, .
Bosch did not specify any sonrce. Bosch told the committee that his
association with Frank Sturgis alone culminated in 11 airstrikes over --
Cn ba. ( 39) At that time, he_said, they usually --.rented a plane for -
  $60_an hour. (-0) Bill Johnson charged $4,000 for pilot
91
.for eacl;l. mission. (41) Bosch said he knew tbe pilots only got
$2,000 ·and. Johnson pocketed the rest, but his purpose was to
Castro whatever it cost. (-42) Bosch's. commitment to .fight Castro
extends to the present. (4.5') · · · · · .
(337) The funds were mitially furnished l\ITRR from a Chicago-
Cuban erile, Paulino .A.. Sierra, who allegedly collected moneys
from gambling interests. (44) Some money came from anti-Castro
supporters in Puerto Rico. (45) It is known that the FBI was long
interested in the source of .finances of the MJRR and in :March 1964
authorized a 30-day mail check on it and Bosch in an effort to identify
possible sources. (46) During this time, several wealthy Cuban exiles
received threatening letters demanding large contributions for the
.fight against Castro. (47) Bosch was implicated in these extortion
attempts, (48) brought to trial, and acquitted. (49) He told the com-
mittee that in 1967 he once used the funds he had collected in settle-
ment for a personal injury automobile accident to buy explosives and
weapons. (50) \Vha.tever Bosch's methods of raising money, there is
no indication he ever used it to enrich himself. (51)
(338) Well financed and totally dedicated, Bosch managed to run
afoul of the U.S. Government authorities at least seven times in
slightly over a 4-year period. SeYeral of these encounters. resulted in
his arrest, (52) but he was always acquitted. (53) · ·
(339) I n July 1967, Bosch and the :MIRR became assimilated into a
ne''" movement, known as Cuban Po"er(54) and the tempo of
violent actirities increased. On September 16, 1968, Bosch was ar-
rested for .firing a bazooka into the hull of a Polish ship anchored
in Miami harbor. (55) He was subsequently tried and sentenced to
10 years in a Federal prison. (56) From his prison cell in Atlanta,
Ga .. Bosch alleaed.ly was making plans to resume bombing Japanese
and Spanish shl:ps trading with Cnbn as soon as he was rereased. (-57)
He was granted parole on November 1, 197Z and immecliP.tely began
trn.veling throngh Latin America, in violntion of that pnrole.(58)
He said his a..i.m in Latin America was to forge alliances with coun-
tries which had powerful Cuban exile communities.(59) So effcctiYe
was he in malting solid political alliances, that in the ensuing :--ears
he was able to t ravel freely, with forged passports, throughout Latin
America. ( 60)
(340) \Vhether or not Bosch was the principal conspirator in the
bombina of the Cuban airliner. it is known that his Cuban Power
moYemcnt, "h.ich merged with' other Cuban activists in 19i6 (61)
to form a Cuban Secret Government (611) engaged in acts of ter-
rorism. (69) This l atter group was linked with numerous recE'nt
bombing incidents, ( 64) n.n assassination attE>mpt a.aainst HE>nrv Ki;o-
sinp-er.(65) the assassination of Orlando Letelier in Washinaton,
D.C.(66) and the bombing of the Cuban Airlines plane.
(341) Orlando Bosch. a zealot. turned out to be the most a,Q".!!TessiYe.
and Yolatile of the a.nti-Castro leaders. That alone could valicllv raise
the qnestion of possible association with the assassination of Presi--
clPnt Kennedy. In addition, the committee "as presented with an
allegation that specifically connected him to a conspiracy. ( 67) bnt
investigation failed to support the claim that Bosch had been in

when he heard President Kennedy had been shot.(68)

A. Published Information, Re: Orlando Bosch
1. New Times Magaz ine, Little Havana's Reign of Terror,
by Dick Russell, Oct. 29, 1976 (attached).
2.
3.
Dr. Bosch, a Cuban pediatrician, was an acknowledged
leader in CIA sponsored operations against Castro' ·s
Cuba in the .early 1960s. ·
In 1960, he led the Movement for Revolutionary Re-
covery,· which had hundreds schooled in sabotage by
the CIA.
Was part of "Operation 40," a Top Secret CIA program,
which E. Howard Hunt described as maintaining a
special assassination section prior to 1963. .
At his last trial in 1968, a telephone tape transcript
indicated strong interest in his cause from a Mr. Hunt--
"the. one of the wells," as Bosch phrased it. ·
According to an unnamed exile, it was Bosch who got
a group together at the World Conference of Exiles
in Puerto Rico in October of 1973.
In a clandestine interview with the Miami News in
June of 1974, Bosch proclaimed the murder of exile
~ o s   Elias de la Torriente to be a good lesson and
announced he was going underground to a Latin American
country in order to direct the internationalization
of the war.
In November of 1974, he was arrested in Venezuela
after taking credit for two bombings in Caracas.
The u.s. Justice Department declined extradition ·and
Bosch was flown to Chile.

Assassinate Kissinger, by Jack Anderson and Les Whiten.

Bosch "was reported to be gunning for Kissinger."

e VENEZUELAN PRESIDENT Carlos An-
dres Perez asked the U.S. Government
to clarify the links between official U.S.
agencies and counterrevolutionary groups
of terrorists of Cuban origin in the course
of remarks he made at a press confer-
ence at UN headquarters in New York.
He said that he "could not make de-
finite assertions regarding the possible
responsibility of any particular agency of
the U.S. Government in connection with
Cuban terrorism. But I do believe that the
United States has- a duty to clear up all
the doubts which are constanUy expressed
in the international press, and even in
the U.S. press, regarding the activities of
official agencies In connivance with those
terrorist groups."

four hours reading the indictment pre-
1
Q
pared against him by Judge Estaba Mo-
reno.
He said that the attack on the Cubana
Airlines plane off Barbados on October
6, in which 73 people were killed, was an
,.'abominable crime" and added that four
people were now under arrest in Vene-
zuela in connection with the attack and
would be put on trial "according to our
laws."
'We are making all legal efforts pos-
s i ~   in a democratic state to see that the
full weight of the law falls on those peo-
ple, some of them Venezuelans and others
Cuban exiles, who participated in this
abominable crime."
In his speech to the UN General As-
As has already been reported, about
15 days ago Judge Estaba Moreno or-
dered the arre3t of Luis Posada Carriles
and Orlando Bosch, along with Freddy
Lugo and Hernl\n Ricardo Losano, be-
cause enough evidence had been aC-
cumulated to charge them with aggravat-
ed homicide, complicity in aggravated
homicide .and the manufacturing of
weapons of war and false documents.
Posada Carriles ran the private detec·
tive agency at which, according to the
police, the bomb used tQ blow up the
Cuban 'plane was made.
Meanwhile, In Colombia, where the
authorities have started an investigation
into the activities of counterrevolution-
ary groups of Cuban origin in Colombia,
Senator Apolinario Dfaz cited numerous

revolutionary Cubans closely linked to

sembty on· Novemoer 16, Venezuelan heaa
of state descrtbed the bomb attack on the
plane as a painful drama, and he added
that many of the 73 people killed in the
blast were part of a Cuban sports dele-
gation that had just competed in Vene-
zuela, whose performance had aroused
the admiration of the people of that
country. ·
He also condemned International ter-
rorism -and said that a debate at the UN
as to what could be called
terrorism might make possible a meeting
of minds and an eventual agreement.
In this context, he added, the feasibility
of establishing- agreements such as those
which existed between Cuba and some
American nations to halt air piracy should
not be ruled out.
Carlos Andres Perez added that tbl!
Issue of violencE: was very controversial,
especially because of the problem of de-
fining what constituted international
terrorism.
"I believe that acts which are really
not terroristic, because they are part of
the liberation struggle being carried out
by many peoples in different parts of the
world, can't be labeled as such,"
•
Luis Posada Carriles, a counterrevolu-
tionary of Cuban origin arrested in Cara-
cas and charged as an accomplice in the
sabotage of the Cubana Airlines plane,
admitted that he had participated in the
Playa GirOn mercenary Invasion in 1961
and that he was a CIA agent.
Posada was questioned by
shortly after !le testlfied in court before
Judge Delia Estaba Moreno.
He said that the GirOn Invasion was
prepared by the U.S. Central Intelligency
Agency and that he didn' t think that his
being a CIA was reason enough to
detain him.
As these shameless remarks of Luis
Posada Carrlles were made known, it was
recalled that, according to UPI, three days
before, Orlando Bosch, another counter-
revolutionary of Cuban origin, had told
his lawyer: "I have never violated a pact,
and so far I would like to think that
circumstance has put me Into this posi-
tion and not that I have been a victim to
deception."
Posada CarrUea also admitted that
photographer Hern4n Ricardo Loaano,
another of those arrested in connection
with the sabotage, worked for him aa ·a
private invuttaator, and be added that
he had never met Freddy Lugo. Posada
said that on instructions from

In other news, a rally was held at Los
Andes University, Merida, Venezuela, to
· repudiate ther sabotage of the Cuban
plane. The rector of the university, Pedro
RincOn, described the terrorist act as a
despicable crime.
The event was organized by the
Venezuelan-Cuban Friendship Institute
and was attended by more than 1000
people.
Meanwhile, m Bridgetown, Barbados,
the judicial commission investigating the
October 6 disaster concluded tts ninth
session and proposed that a report be
pr71ented to the Government ot Barba-
dos, to be passed on to all interested
., parties before the end of the year.
•
Acconfutg to a UPI dispatch from
Miami, the. counterrevolutionary group
COndor threatened to blow up planes of
the Venezuelan state airline VIASA if
Orlando Bosch Is found guilty of the
sabotage of the Cubana Airlines plane.
./
UPI added that, in an open letter to
Venezuelan President Carlos Andres Pe-
rez, it is claimed that "Bosch and ali the
others arrested by your government are
completely innocent of the acts they are
charged with." The lette.r said that COn-
dor was the organization which blew up
the Cuban plane.
The open threat said that if those held
In Caracas were sentenced, "We will
declare the planes of the Venezuelan state
airline VIASA to be military targets, and
In the future they will be subjected to
sabotage in any part of the world."
The Mexican magazine Personas pub-
lished an article in this week's issue
called "Orlando Bosch, a criminal,''
wherein details of his criminal activities
and his role in the attack on the Cuban
plane were described.
The Mexican communiBt weekly  
cl6n cf:targed that there was a hemisphere
conspiracy organized by the CIA to stir
up trouble in the Caribbean, and It cited
the attack OJl the Cutieft plane as evidence
to back up thit view.
The article· ufd O.t Cll:roriA plana of
the CIA and fbr merceaatles had to be
blocked. UDder cover of organlutlona
such as CORU (CoQUJlando of United Rev-
olutionary OrganlZIItfona), it said, these

security of the peoples and aovemments
