October 1962
First rumors of a Castro sponsored JFK hit begin to circulate.
CIA informant in Guatemala reports a detailed conversation by Castro agents which included discussion about JFK being eliminated within the coming year. In addition a letter intercepted in Miami and destined for an anti-communist out of country radio station appears to substantiate the Castro plot. An extensive FBI investigation into this was unable to trace the letters to any Castro personnel or agents. Suspicion was expressed that it was actually a propaganda exercise against the Castro regime by Cuban exiles. Perhaps part of David Phillips (Bishop) psychological warfare programme.

At the same time Soviet agents in Mexico City start to hear rumors that certain anti- Castro exiles were beginning to talk seriously about eliminating Kennedy themselves in retaliation for the BOP and 'hands off Cuba' policy since the missile crisis.
