NARRATOR: (As Zapruter film is shown on screen) On November 22, 1963, the 35th President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, was assassinated in Dallas, Texas while riding in a motorcade. The speculations surrounding that assassination have been rehashed again and again amidst a flurry of controversy over the last 20 years. On this, the 20th anniversary of that heinous event, we wish to present the following documentary. A documentary that is not a part of any previously told stories or theories. This is a documentary based on facts that are being revealed for the first time by a man who claims he was a sanctioned assassin for the Central Intelligence Agency. It is also a story • of intrigue, conspiracy, and wholesale murder so incredible that if all the facts weren't authenticated, it would be unbelievable.

What will be revealed during the balance of this program is -2- information that was not available to either the Warren Commission or the House Select Committee. It is information dealing with certain militant anti-Castro exiles -- their ties to labor and organized crime, their attitudes about the Bay of Pigs and Cuban Missile Crisis, and their part in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. (Fade to file footage of McClellan Hearings showing scenes of Bobby Kennedy with James Hoffa and Carlos Marcello, with Narrator in background) To understand the complete story, we must go as far back as 1957 when Robert F. Kennedy was chief counsel to the McClellan Senate Select Committee on Improper Practices. It was while serving on this committee that Bobby Kennedy's vow to stop organized crime brought him into a head-to-head confrontation with James Riddle Hoffa, powerful president of the Teamsters Union.

The Teamsters were vital to organized crime. Under Jimmy Hoffa, the union provided the criminal syndicate with tens of millions of dollars in "loans", jobs and respectability. Through the Teamsters, organized crime, which was to become known as the Mafia in the late 1950's, had a handhold on the nation's jugular. Hoffa's closeness to the mob was such that his grievances automatically become their grievances, and his enemies, their enemies. In New York alone, federal investigators discovered forty union "officials" who were actually members of the Mafia families. Among them they had 77 convictions for crimes including theft, narcotics, forgery, possession of stolen mail, robbery, and accessory to murder. By 1960, the Teamsters' Central States Pension Fund was known by federal authorities to be "the lending agency for the syndicate", with hundreds of millions of dollars tied up in Las Vegas casinos and hotels operated by the mob. In Florida, Teamster millions financed Mafia controlled apartment build- ings, hospitals, condominiums, hotels, motels, and country clubs. In the following few years, organized crime and its hold on labor would become an obsession with both of the Kennedy brothers. An obsession which Carlos Marcello, one of the Mafia's most powerful dons, would swear to do something about. He vowed to kill the Presi- dent. Marcello's proclamation of death occurred shortly after John Kennedy became president and appointed his I -3-

brother as attorney general. On April 4th, 1961, just two weeks before the CIA's ill-fated invasion of Cuba at the Bay of Pigs, the young Attorney General illegally ordered Marcello's deportation.

CUT BACK TO: NARRATOR Although the young Attorney General didn't know it, Marcello's close relationship with another Mafia leader, Florida's Santos Trafficante, would give Marcello full access to CIA-trained Cuban assassination squads. Bernard Fensterwald, prominent Washington attorney, and founder of the Committee to Investigate Assassinations, remembers the combined CIA/Mafia attempts on Fidel Castro's life.

CUT BACK TO: NARRATOR Another infamous group of CIA-trained Cuban exile assassins was known as Operation Forty. The man who was the CIA coordinator for Operation Forty was an Army Intelligence Colonel known to the Cubans as Oscar del Valle Garcia or Oscar the Assassin. His real time of name is Col. C.

CUT BACK TO: NARRATOR It was Bishop who provided the most startling revelations a- V -4-

bout a number of unsolved areas in the President's assassination, and it all started on a Monday evening in February of this year when Robert D. Morrow, author of Kennedy assassination book Betrayal received a telephone call.

CUT BACK TO: NARRATOR Bishop's name is not new in intelligence circles and, in fact, has been the subject of tremendous controversy since 1975 when his name first surfaced as a possible CIA link between Lee Harvey Oswald and Antonio Veciana of the Cuban exile movement.

CUT BACK TO: NARRATOR After his visit to Dallas, Morrow would spend several months documenting and confirming Bishop's disclosures. The outcome would be that he would be convinced that recalcitrant Cuban exile groups, along with the Mafia and organized labor, set up a coalition to murder the President. Some of these revelations Bishop admitted to before he fled the country to Mexico. For example, Bishop claimed that from 1961-63 he was the CIA man selected to personally report to President Kennedy on all matters pertaining to Cuba. -5-

CUT BACK TO: NARRATOR Another disturbing revelation spelled out by Bishop is that under CIA orders he was the one that led the team that assassinated President Rafael Trujillo of the Dominican Republic on May 30, 1961, and in fact it was Bishop's own M-3 submachine gun that killed Trujillo and his driver.

CUT BACK TO: NARRATOR It was after this assassination of a head of state just five weeks after the Bay of Pigs that Bishop claims organized crime chiefs Sam (Momo) Giancana, Santos Trafficante and Carlos Marcell() started to really pour money into the most militant of the exile organizations. According to Bishop, these were Antonio Veciana's Alpha 66 group which had teamed up with an ex-Cuban army major by the name of Eloy Gutierrez Menoyo whose organization was known as the Second National Front of the Escambrey or SNFE, and the Movi- miento Insurreccional de Recuperation Revolucionaria or MIRR, head- _6_

ed by a Cuban terrorist named Orlando Bosch. According to the House Select Committee, Bosch has had a considerable history of violence, the latest of which included numerous bombing incidents, one of which was the destruction of a Cubana Airline plane in October 1975 which killed 73 people. He was also linked to the assassination bombing of Orlando Letelier in Washington, D.C. and an attempt on the life of Henry Kissinger. It was these three groups, Bishop claims, which formed the nucleus of an organization known as the Junta del Gobierno de Cuba en el Exilio or the Cuban Government in Exile. This organization, whose titular head was an ex-Cuban businessman named Mario Garcia Kohly, according to the House Select Committee was directly linked 1.■•••=. to organized crime, and some of its groups had reportedly been in contact with Lee Harvey Oswald. It was Kohly who Morrow was associated with in a massive counterfeiting operation to print Cuban pesos; and in August of 1961 Kohly's organization was responsible for making Castro change the Cuban currency. Both men were arrested for this ongoing operation in October of 1963 on orders of Bobby Kennedy.

CUT BACK TO: NARRATOR From 1960 to 1964, Bishop claimed the mob funneled their cash through a man named Rolando Masfarrer. Masfarrer was a former Cuban Mafia leader who had worked closely with all of the Mafia's Havana operations prior to Castro.

CUT BACK TO: NARRATOR When Rolando Masfarrer told Bishop that Veciana's Alpha 66 group on Harlandale Street in Dallas had carried out the presidential assassination, it confirmed what Santos Trafficante, Jr., a funder of Alpha 66 through Masfarrer, had said to a Cuban businessman named Jose Aleman that "Kennedy was going to be hit."

To further substantiate his claim of the anti-Castro Cuban involvement with the Mafia in the President's assassination, Bishop claimed that Jack Ruby, the assassin of Lee Harvey Oswald, worked as a gunrunner for Alpha 66 and he (Bishop) personally met with him on several occasions, caarli...... ofv sdoxa at in l Warren Com- mission Report and the House Select Committee Report.

CUT BACK TO: BISHOP TEXT: Video tape on association with Jack Ruby

CUT BACK TO: NARRATOR Another man whom Bishop claims had used Lee Harvey Oswald's name in Dallas, Mexico City and New Orleans, is mentioned by the House Select Committee. His name was Thomas Eli Davis III, a soldier of fortune who, according to Bishop, was associated with Jack Ruby's gunrunning, connected to the CIA's assassination apparatus and closely associated with Veciana's Alpha 66 through Rolando Mas- farrer. • Bishop, as case officer to Mario Kohly and Veciana, said that he personally knew Lee Harvey Oswald was in the Lake Ponchetrain \ training camp of Alpha 66 in Louisiana. In addition, Bishop says that he met Clay Shaw, the man New -8-

Orleans District Attorney James Garrison charged in a conspiracy to kill the President in 1967 -- except his name was Clay Bertram when he was introduced. Shaw had been positively identified by the House Select Committee as being with Oswald in Clinton, Louisiana, along with a David Ferrie, a man Morrow says he knew and flew into Cuba with on the night of the Bay of Pigs. Ferrie was also the personal pilot of Mafia boss Carlos Marcello. Of all Bishop's claims, however, one of the most startling was his admission that he assassinated Carlos Rodriguez Quesada. Quesada was, in the spring of 1963, appointed head of internal af- fairs for Mario Kohly's Government in Exile and the man who ran Veciana's Alpha 66 organization in Dallas. When it appeared Quesada might talk about what he knew about the assassination, Bishop says he killed him on an exile training mission.

CUT BACK TO: NARRATOR In addition to Quesada's murder, Bishop admitted killing Gilberto Rodriguis Hernandez, military coordinator of Mario Kohly's Cuban Government in Exile, for being a double agent. Bishop said when it appeared that the Senate Select Committee in 1973 began investigating the Kennedy assassination, former CIA Director William Colby told him,.to go underground in order not to r disclose any of the information he knew as a case officer to Kohly, Veciana and Masfarrer.

CUT BACK TO: BISHOP TEXT: Video tape of Bishop telling story of Colby

CUT BACK TO: NARRATOR Although Bishop would not let Morrow tape several admissions, -9-

he did tell him about his being in Chicago when Sam (Momo) Giancana was assassinated on June 19, 1975, less than a few days prior to his testifying before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Mat- ters about Jack Kennedy's assassination. What surprised Morrow was that Bishop, off the record, osten- sibly admitted killing Teamster President James Hoffa in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, on July 30, 1975. Bishop claimed to Morrow and several other witnesses, one of whom was former Rep. Thomas Downing, first chairman of the House Select Committee, that he fired three shots in the back of Hoffa's head with a .22 calibre pistol so that the union leader could not be called to testify about mob involvement in the Kennedy assassination.

CUT BACK TO: DOWNING, then MORROW TEXT: Bishop disclosure about Hoffa slaying

CUT BACK TO: NARRATOR Incredible as all these events might seem coming 20 years after John Fitzgerald Kennedy's death; nonetheless, it has surfaced. And, the man who may not admit he had a part in the conspiracy him- self has admitted to some pretty damning actions to keep it covered up. Bishop freely admitted he was in Dallas that day on a special assignment. He also claims he was at Parkland Hospital when the President died and a pristine bullet mysteriously appeared on a li stretcher outside Trauma Room One. Bishop claims he was the bne identified as the military ialiel- jigence man whose name was never mentioned. According to Morrow, from past experience, Bishop seems to be the mostly likely candidate to have engineered the President's death. Will we know before he dies or will the rest of his secrets be buried with him?

It is typical of all Morrow fakes in that it deponds on brazennosa and what for the most part can't be checked out. Bowevor, ho is both ignorant and careless, and perhaps a bit arrogant fro getting away with his fake Botravel. HD can't oven spell the names of his najor aharacters and De knows little about then. ?or that matter, he ean't oven spell Zapruipr. If ha had Bud on tax, perr.w.dc Bud to eat out of it and by alleging a fake) he can because Morrow will not dnro a confrontation of that, particularly not with me. Hieo ducked in the past on radio talk shown. I've marked it up if you want togo over it. Of all the many possible errors in the JFK assassination field, the one moot certain to be a bad error is lintoning at all to anyono who claims he Iwo the case solved or has a confession. There in a conspiracy to keep me fron worideig, the newest the gremlins that got into my car (150,190 mileage total). It took the entire morning (no therapy at all) and will take Ihersday if the parts come in. First major repair on the ear and an of the tire I bought it, it would not have been a najor repaid. But it will met upward of 000 because o' the price of the parts now and the high labor coat. Two parts on the drivo shaft need ropletag. Plus a tiro which van exchanged by the people who sold it to me. They've always been honest. If I'm not too tired after taldng a nap I'll get beck on the affidavit today. But I won't have more than an hour or so at most if I do. That late in the day. I'm surprised that, after t ,m ud lots Ficaaneo in his office at all. The first two erafav us I recall, told me it was a fake. From beginning to and. All of it. I'd like to know how far along it is and if them is no objection, try to blow it in advance, as I think I can. I rather suspect that the address given is Fiorrou's homes and that there really is nothing extant called 3.13.S & Asaociate°, Iii. itoa, except Morrou. BO's taken nut stories, mee already dinproven, ana woven in some of his own fabrication of a nature he thought not checkable. Some of his fabrications wore careless. For example, there was no Alpha training camp on the othee aide of Pon/Achartlins and nothing at all that could he oulaorl a real trainiee coop. I don't know why you don't want to talk aboutnthis on the phone, because there is nothing to it but fakery, but I'd be interested in the background you refer to. I'd also be intereatod in laming his "Bishbp" foetago — if it exists. Booaum no much depends on a single source, oven those who know nothing at all but are atvall responsible won't touch this. So I have no rea:lon to believe that he has clone anything. Be may wint Bud to give it some appearance of credibility. Itr only question is, is Morrow doing these thieves entirely on his own or JD there an unman hand. 'Best,
