On November 25, 1963 ERNEST ARAGON, UnitedStates Secret Service Agent Miami Florida, advised SAGEORGE E. DAVIS that the United States ~ e c r e t Servicewas n possession of information indicating thata long-distance telephone call had been placed onNovember 24, 1963 by JOSE SAN ANTONIO CABARGA, M 4 X i c oCity, to DR. EMILIO NUNEZ PORTUONDO, ~ a m i F l o r i d a ; thatthis conversat i on was in the Spanish language and thatthe g i s t of t was plan of C smo carried forth. BOBBY

is next. Soon the Atomic bombs will rain and they willnot know from where.

ARAGON also as serted that he understood thatseveral telephone calls had also been made £ram nR.EMILIO NUNEZ PORTUONDO s residence n Miami to a residence

~ n Ft . Lauderdale, Florida, which was the residence ofN ~ ~ z t son-in-law, RAFAEL GARCIA NAVARRO. The f i les ofthe FBI Office, Miami Florida, indicated that informationhad previously been received to the effect that DR.EMILIO NUNEZ PORTUONDO was the former Cuban Del6gate to

Just a mJnute sgofMr BllNOr.IEIL Last January I went to lllrunl, Fla., where I wa.a ta.Iklllg

to Dr. Emmo Nunez.Port uondo, former Cubll.D Ambassador to the United Nations,

and he told me that just after the a s . , ; a ~ i n n t l o n of President Kennedy he rece.lveda reque,t trom one of the biggest Mexican newspapers asking .him tor somepnbllc declarations ot opinion nhout the llSSilSl ination. e ent that day aletter With hJs prt bS release Inside, oddres<:OO. to one riend of him wh o Js living1n llex1co City and hls .friend deli-rer that press release to the Mexico City

11ewspaper 1n Mexico. In tltatrelease, Mr . '\unez.Pona ondo blamed Fidel Castro

aa the "intellectual murderer of Pre rident Kenneds."

Dr . Portnondo told me that the snme day thnt that i.ntormatlon appear in

the paper, his trit>nd suffer l lD attempt to be kidnaped. 1.'here wen t about

eight roen to thl.s man house, nod when they were trying to put him inside

c;ne automobile, nt the some moment pass n reporter- believe that was tromthe AP -nnd when the reporter saw what was gol.ng on, be sturt to ask for .help.At that moment the police cnme and started to ques tion the eight roen, and,

according to Nunez·PortuoiJdo, they ldentl.fied l.hemselves as members of the

Secret Service of the Mex: Cil.D Go-rernment, and Mr. Portuondo's friend was

benten so bani that he .had to go tf) a hospital for 4 days with a broken leg,just because he was the one who deliver Nunez·Ponuondo's statement to the

llexlCllD neWI Jlllper blaming Fidel Castro for the murder or President Kennedy.

Mr. Lrrnn n I WilDt to go back brletly to the le tter from Fernandez toLechup whJch you l.ndicated .had been Intercepted.

Mr. "Bm:NGUIER. Yes. ai r.Mr. T.xnrr:n:a What Jette- is this and who Intercepted it?

Mr. Blu:NGUIEB. Well, I believe thnt that Jetter was intercepted here in New

Orleans w.hen Fernandez was sending the letter to .Ale:xlco. I didn't have too

much contact with tha t deal, because that was for another organtzatlon, not

my organization, and 1 didn 't want to be ln-rol-red, in that that msybe was against

the law. I always t ry to be oat o Mr. I .xpn;;xn You mean th is letter was intercepted by some other Cuban

orpnlza lon?

Mr. BI INat:IEll. Yes; for the same organization -who had the trainlng camp. f:Mr. I .IEBEI EB. That was intercepted while It was in th e l'.S. malls? r.Mr. BBI 'O'OUIEB. I think so. I think that he gave that letter to somebody

to drop in the mall, and that somebody that was suspicious about him. they

opened the letter and they found wha t the letter was telllng. I don't know

what they do With the letter. I don't know nothing else. I know about what

Is said in the paper. I know that they dismantle all the training camp here

ln New OrleaDll. They went back to M1amL I paid the trip for two of themto go back to Mlaml. Excuse me. I did not pay the trip, I collect SOIDe'lDolllesamong some Cubans. and we paid the trip . I do11't want to set something onthe record that 18 not- - -

17, 1963, and at that l.nteniew Oawald said, answerlnl to one question, that hehad been l.n Mexl.co, and in all the magulnes that I am reading they are tallliDg

abont Oswald was born in New Orlea.ns. he went to Xew York, he came back

to ::-Jew Orlea.ns, be went to the Martnes. he went to RUBS1a., be cnme back. be

he went to Dallaa, he came to New Orleans back, he went to Yexlco S weeks

before the assassination. but I don't reed in any newspo.per or any tmUaLZinetalking about some other trip trom Oswald to Mexico. and If you h.n'f'e tha t
