Mr. J. Walter Yeagley
Assistant Attorney General
Note:
Relet was intended as confirmation of earlier
conversation
between AAG Yeagley and Mr. Sizoo, in which it was indicated
that our
policy of handling investigations of anti-Castro groups
involved in
raids against Cuba, as stated above, was to be
continued and not
modified as result of Departmental decision in Alpha
66
case. In this case Department advises as to conduct no
investigation. Relet, however, while specifically
confirming
conversation requests we investigate in all cases where
possible
violation of neutrality laws exists after it has been
determined
Government has no interest. In order that there be no
misunderstanding, and that the record be clear, matter was
rechecked by
Mr. Sizoo on 12/1/63. Yeagley advised at that time that
policy
originally outlined was one intended and he agreed that this
letter
would serve to clarify the record. It is desirable for
bureau to
be in position of having …determination as to which
anti-Castro group
involved in conducting raids against Cuba should be
investigated.
Classified "Secret"since unauthorized disclosure could
result in serious damage to national defense interests.

Inquiring
about source from…of the Brigade, c/s learned that

by members
of different groups of Cubans in exile, who joined under the
initial
control of the Consejo Revolucionario Democratico (FRD)

Revolutionary Council, whose coordinator was Antonio de
Varona.
Among the approximately 1500 men who composed the brigade
when it was
being organized were…presented all the different Cuban
social
categories, which has joined with the purpose and necessary
determination to overthrow the Communist regime
established in
Cuba by Fidel Castro. I have never had…for political
position, and I
can say that the majority of the brigade members who had
joined under
the banner of Brigade 2506 felt… While we were together,
preparing
ourselves militarily, differences of opinion started to
arise among
some of our superiors who started to show that they had
aspirations
toward positions of political … in the future government of
