LBJ and the OAS
#1
In 1965 LBJ had asked some Cuban exiles to go to the Dominican Republic to head up a larger organization. The (OAS), Organization of American States, and on the orders of LBJ his request was to increase the number of Cubans to as many as possible in order to set up a Cuban Government in exile. In order for the United States to recognize such a government in exile this Cuban had to act on the orders of Lyndon B. Johnson, Johnson said, "several US Senators were pulling for them, however, Robert Kennedy was very much against them".

This Cuban was given first command over all the exiles, and had appointed Frank Fiorini in charge, a total of about 3,000 men.

This Cuban would take direct orders from LBJ who would relay them to Sturgis, who was now second in command over the exile group, do you suppose Frank also had the same opportunity as this Cuban did by taking orders from LBJ?

I wonder, how much truth there really is in Hunts deathbed confession when he starts off by saying, "I heard from Frank".
