information that was not available to either the Warren Commission

or the House Select Committee. It is information dealing with cer-

tain militant anti-Castro exiles -- their ties to labor and organized

crime, their attitudes about the Bay of Pigs and Cuban Missile Crisis,

and their part in the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

(Fade to file footage of McClellan Hearings showing scenes of Bobby Kennedy with James Hoffa and Carlos Marcello, with Narrator in background)

To understand the complete story, we must go as far back as

1957 when Robert F. Kennedy was chief counsel to the McClellan Senate

Select Committee on Improper Practices. It was while serving on this

committee that Bobby Kennedy's vow to stop organized crime brought

him into a head-to-head confrontation with James Riddle Hoffa, power-

ful president of the Teamsters Union.

The Teamsters were vital to organized crime. Under Jimmy Hoffa,

the union provided the criminal syndicate with tens of millions of

dollars in "loans", jobs and respectability. Through the Teamsters,

organized crime, which was to become known as the Mafia in the late

1950's, had a handhold on the nation's jugular. Hoffa's closeness to

the mob was such that his grievances automatically become their grie-

vances, and his enemies, their enemies. In New York alone, federal

investigators discovered forty union "officials" who were actually

members of the Mafia families. Among them they had 77 convictions for

crimes including theft, narcotics, forgery, possession of stolen mail,

robbery, and accessory to murder. By 1960, the Teamsters' Central

States Pension Fund was known by federal authorities to be "the

lending agency for the syndicate", with hundreds of millions of dol-

lars tied up in Las Vegas casinos and hotels operated by the mob. In

Florida, Teamster millions financed Mafia controlled apartment build-

ings, hospitals, condominiums, hotels, motels, and country clubs.

In the following few years, organized crime and its hold on

labor would become an obsession with both of the Kennedy brothers.

An obsession which Carlos Marcello, one of the Mafia's most powerful

dons, would swear to do something about. He vowed to kill the Presi-

dent. Marcello's proclamation of death occurred shortly

after John Kennedy became president and appointed his

-3-

brother as attorney general. On April 4th, 1961, just two weeks

before the CIA's ill-fated invasion of Cuba at the Bay of Pigs, the

young Attorney General illegally ordered Marcello's deportation.

Although the young Attorney General didn't know it, Marcello's

assassination squads.

Another infamous group of CIA-trained Cuban exile assassins

was known as Operation Forty. The man who was the CIA coordinator

for Operation Forty was an Army Intelligence Colonel known to the

Cubans as Oscar del Valle Garcia or Oscar the Assassin. His real

when Robert D. Morrow, author of Kennedy assassination book

CUT BACK TO: NARRATOR

Bishop's name is not new in intelligence circles and, in fact,

has been the subject of tremendous controversy since 1975 when his

name first surfaced as a possible CIA link between Lee Harvey Oswald

and Antonio Veciana of the Cuban exile movement.

CUT BACK TO: NARRATOR

After his visit to Dallas, Morrow would spend several months

documenting and confirming Bishop's disclosures. The outcome would

be that he would be convinced that recalcitrant Cuban exile groups,

along with the Mafia and organized labor, set up a coalition to

murder the President. Some of these revelations Bishop admitted to

before he fled the country to Mexico.

For example, Bishop claimed that from 1961-63 he was the CIA

man selected to personally report to President Kennedy on all

matters pertaining to Cuba.

Another disturbing revelation spelled out by Bishop is that

under CIA orders he was the one that led the team that assassinated

President Rafael Trujillo of the Dominican Republic on May 30, 1961,

and in fact it was Bishop's own M-3 submachine gun that killed

Trujillo and his driver.

CUT BACK TO: NARRATOR

It was after this assassination of a head of state just five

weeks after the Bay of Pigs that Bishop claims organized crime

chiefs Sam (Momo) Giancana, Santos Trafficante and Carlos Marcell()

started to really pour money into the most militant of the exile

organizations. According to Bishop, these were Antonio Veciana's

Alpha 66 group which had teamed up with an ex-Cuban army major by

the name of Eloy Gutierrez Menoyo whose organization was known as

the Second National Front of the Escambrey or SNFE, and the Movi-

miento Insurreccional de Recuperation Revolucionaria or MIRR, head-

_6 _

ed by a Cuban terrorist named Orlando Bosch. According to the House

Select Committee, Bosch has had a considerable history of violence,

the latest of which included numerous bombing incidents, one of

which was the destruction of a Cubana Airline plane in October 1975

which killed 73 people. He was also linked to the assassination

bombing of Orlando Letelier in Washington, D.C. and an attempt on

the life of Henry Kissinger.

It was these three groups, Bishop claims, which formed the

nucleus of an organization known as the Junta del Gobierno de Cuba

en el Exilio or the Cuban Government in Exile. This organization,

whose titular head was an ex-Cuban businessman named Mario Garcia

Kohly, according to the House Select Committee was directly linked 1.■•••=. to organized crime, and some of its groups had reportedly been in

contact with Lee Harvey Oswald.

It was Kohly who Morrow was associated with in a massive

counterfeiting operation to print Cuban pesos; and in August of 1961

Kohly's organization was responsible for making Castro change the

Cuban currency. Both men were arrested for this ongoing operation

in October of 1963 on orders of Bobby Kennedy.

From 1960 to 1964, Bishop claimed the mob funneled their cash

through a man named Rolando Masfarrer. Masfarrer was a former Cuban

Mafia leader who had worked closely with all of the Mafia's Havana

operations prior to Castro.

When Rolando Masfarrer told Bishop that Veciana's Alpha 66

group on Harlandale Street in Dallas had carried out the presiden-

tial assassination, it confirmed what Santos Trafficante, Jr., a

funder of Alpha 66 through Masfarrer, had said to a Cuban businessman named Jose Aleman that "Kennedy was going to be hit."

To further substantiate his claim of the anti-Castro Cuban

involvement with the Mafia in the President's assassination, Bishop

claimed that Jack Ruby, the assassin of Lee Harvey Oswald, worked as

a gunrunner for Alpha 66 and he (Bishop) personally met with him on several occasions, caarli........ sdoxa latofv in Warren Com- mission Report and the House Select Committee Report.

CUT BACK TO: BISHOP

TEXT: Video tape on association with Jack Ruby

CUT BACK TO: NARRATOR

Another man whom Bishop claims had used Lee Harvey Oswald's

name in Dallas, Mexico City and New Orleans, is mentioned by the House Select Committee. His name was Thomas Eli Davis III, a soldier

of fortune who, according to Bishop, was associated with Jack Ruby's

gunrunning, connected to the CIA's assassination apparatus and

closely associated with Veciana's Alpha 66 through Rolando Mas-

farrer. •

\

Bishop, as case officer to Mario Kohly and Veciana, said that

he personally knew Lee Harvey Oswald was in the Lake Ponchetrain

training camp of Alpha 66 in Louisiana.

In addition, Bishop says that he met Clay Shaw, the man New

r

-8-

Orleans District Attorney James Garrison charged in a conspiracy to

kill the President in 1967 -- except his name was Clay Bertram when

he was introduced. Shaw had been positively identified by the House

Select Committee as being with Oswald in Clinton, Louisiana, along

with a David Ferrie, a man Morrow says he knew and flew into Cuba

with on the night of the Bay of Pigs. Ferrie was also the personal

pilot of Mafia boss Carlos Marcello.

Of all Bishop's claims, however, one of the most startling

was his admission that he assassinated Carlos Rodriguez Quesada.

Quesada was, in the spring of 1963, appointed head of internal af-

fairs for Mario Kohly's Government in Exile and the man who ran

Veciana's Alpha 66 organization in Dallas. When it appeared

Quesada might talk about what he knew about the assassination,

Bishop says he killed him on an exile training mission.

CUT BACK TO: NARRATOR

In addition to Quesada's murder, Bishop admitted killing

Gilberto Rodriguis Hernandez, military coordinator of Mario Kohly's

Cuban Government in Exile, for being a double agent.

Bishop said when it appeared that the Senate Select Committee

in 1973 began investigating the Kennedy assassination, former CIA

Director William Colby told him, .to go underground in order not to

disclose any of the information he knew as a case officer to Kohly,

Veciana and Masfarrer.

Although Bishop would not let Morrow tape several admissions,

-9-

he did tell him about his being in Chicago when Sam (Momo) Giancana was assassinated on June 19, 1975, less than a few days prior to his testifying before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Mat-

ters about Jack Kennedy's assassination.

What surprised Morrow was that Bishop, off the record, osten-sibly admitted killing Teamster President James Hoffa in Windsor,

Ontario, Canada, on July 30, 1975. Bishop claimed to Morrow and

several other witnesses, one of whom was former Rep. Thomas Downing, first chairman of the House Select Committee, that he fired three shots in the back of Hoffa's head with a .22 calibre

pistol so that the union leader could not be called to testify about mob involvement in the Kennedy assassination.

CUT BACK TO: DOWNING, then MORROW

TEXT: Bishop disclosure about Hoffa slaying

CUT BACK TO: NARRATOR

Incredible as all these events might seem coming 20 years

after John Fitzgerald Kennedy's death; nonetheless, it has surfaced.

And, the man who may not admit he had a part in the conspiracy him-

self has admitted to some pretty damning actions to keep it covered up. Bishop freely admitted he was in Dallas that day on a special

li

assignment. He also claims he was at Parkland Hospital when the President died and a pristine bullet mysteriously appeared on a stretcher outside Trauma Room One.

Bishop claims he was the bne identified as the military ialiel-jigence man whose name was never mentioned.

According to Morrow, from past experience, Bishop seems to be

the mostly likely candidate to have engineered the President's death. Will we know before he dies or will the rest of his secrets be buried with him?

Door Jiaa, 911 7/u) To smell the aroblea you mem to anticipate in eour note of the 17th attached

There is a two—part bauic prinuiples if Bud goes for it or if they got to Bud it has to be a Poke. Thin is no exemption.

It isn't oven a good fake. It is typical of all Morrow fakes in that it deponds on brazennosa and what

for the most part can't be checked out. Bowevor, ho is both ignorant and careless, and perhaps a bit arrogant fro getting away with his fake Botravel. HD can't oven spell the names of his najor aharacters and De knows little about then. ?or that matter, he ean't oven spell Zapruipr.

If ha had Bud on tax, perr.w.dc Bud to eat out of it and by alleging a fake) he can because Morrow will not dnro a confrontation of that, particularly not with me. Hieo ducked in the past on radio talk shown.

I've marked it up if you want togo over it. Of all the many possible errors in the JFK assassination field, the one moot

certain to be a bad error is lintoning at all to anyono who claims he Iwo the case solved or has a confession.

There in a conspiracy to keep me fron worideig, the newest the gremlins that got into my car (150,190 mileage total). It took the entire morning (no therapy at all) and will take Ihersday if the parts come in. First major repair on the ear and an of the tire I bought it, it would not have been a najor repaid. But it will

met upward of 000 because o' the price of the parts now and the high labor coat. Two parts on the drivo shaft need ropletag. Plus a tiro which van exchanged by the people who sold it to me. They've always been honest.

If I'm not too tired after taldng a nap I'll get beck on the affidavit today. But I won't have more than an hour or so at most if I do. That late in the day.

I'm surprised that, after t , mud lots Ficaaneo in his office at all. The first two erafav us I recall, told me it was a fake. From beginning to and. All of it.

I'd like to know how far along it is and if them is no objection, try to blow it in advance, as I think I can.

I rather suspect that the address given is Fiorrou's homes and that there really is nothing extant called 3.13.S & Asaociate°, Iii. itoa, except Morrou.

BO's taken nut stories, mee already dinproven, ana woven in some of his own fabrication of a nature he thought not checkable. Some of his fabrications wore careless. For example, there was no Alpha training camp on the othee aide of Pon/Achartlins and nothing at all that could he oulaorl a real trainiee coop.

I don't know why you don't want to talk aboutnthis on the phone, because there is nothing to it but fakery, but I'd be interested in the background you refer to.

I'd also be intereatod in laming his "Bishbp" foetago — if it exists. Booaum no much depends on a single source, oven those who know nothing at all

but are atvall responsible won't touch this. So I have no rea:lon to believe that he has clone anything. Be may wint Bud to give it some appearance of credibility.

Itr only question is, is Morrow doing these thieves entirely on his own or JD there an unman hand.
