Miami Jury: CIA Involved in JFK Assassination

[Scott Kaiser]

Hi Jim,

Interesting you ask that, because Veciana told me that he (personally knew of at least a half of dozen times that Bishop met with Oswald). It may even be on this tape, I'm not sure, I haven't really paid close attention. Robert Marrow went with me to interview Veciana.

Thanks for the link, Scott. I didn't hear that on the video, but if you recall hearing Veciana talk about all those Bishop/Oswald meetings, it would be of real interest to JFK researchers, especially if you had it on tape or video. Following are a couple of excerpts from testimony by Robert Tanenbaum (former Deputy Counsel for the House Select Committee on Assassinations) at the 1996 ARRB hearing in Los Angeles:

Good morning. You look at me in stunned silence.

....

But with respect to the investigation, the executive committee transfer for example of approximately January 20th, 23rd, 27th, in that period of time when the Attorney General of Texas, Henry Wade the District Attorney and Leon Jaworsky counsel to the Attorney General, on the transcript spoke to the Chief Justice and said in substance, as I recall, that they had information from unimpeachable sources that Lee Harvey Oswald was a contract employee of the CIA and the FBI.

....

Antonio Veciana material on Alpha 66, the anti-Castro Cuban activity with this Maurice Bishop, from the evidence we had at the committee, was David Phillips that it was in our judgment based upon the information we had, was somewhat shocking in that according to Veciana, unsolicited basically, he was telling our investigators that in fact he with Maurice Bishop, David Phillips was with Lee Harvey Oswald. We had photographs of Oswald with Clay Shaw and David Ferrie. We had information of Oswald being in Clinton, Louisiana with Ferrie and other anti-Castro individuals and various soldier of fortune types who were contracted employees of the CIA. We came across a film of anti-Castro Cubans -- who were identified a anti-Castro Cubans -- not on the film but people who we recognized -- and these soldier of fortune types with the contract employees CIA, the Sturgess', the Hemmings and other individuals.

....

And there were a lot of records with respect to Antonio Veciana, who had formed Alpha 66 with the help of Bishop Phillips and the whole connection of Oswald with the intelligence community.

Thanks again for all these interesting interviews.

Jim

I plan on going back to Miami in August sometime, I will talk to Antonio, many of them are still "in the game" even at their age. Antonio once told me that he thought that it was Fidel that tried to assassinate him, but. We all know that someone else from a three letter agency tried to silence him. As for Sturgis and Hemming I knew them both. Well, I should say, I met Hemming when he stayed at our house for nearly two weeks. As for Sturgis, I knew him as uncle Frank.
