The House Assassinations Committee is investigating her story. Marita Lorenz, former undercov- er operative for the CIA and FBI, told The News that her companions on the car trip from Miami to Dallas were Os. wald, CIA contract agent Frank Sturgis, Cuban exile leaders Orlando Bosch and Pedro Diaz Lanz, and two Cuban broth- ers whose names she does not know. She said they were all members of Operation 40, a secret guerrilla group originally formed by the CIA in 1960 in preparation for the Bay of Pigs inva- sion. Statements she made to The News and to a federal agent were reported to Robert Blakey, chief counsel of the Assassinations Committee. He has as- signed one of his top investigators to interview her. Ms. Lorenz described Operation 40 as an ''assassination squad" consisting of about 30 anti-Castro Cubans and their American advisers. She claimed the group conspired to kill Cuban Premier Fidel Castro and President Kennedy, whom it blamed for the Bay of Pigs fiasco.

  • Commission on CIA Activities Within the United States: Chapter 19
    Chapter 19 Allegations Concerning the Assassination of President Kenned@ ,Illegations hare been made that the CIA participated in the assassination of President ,John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas. on h’ovember 22. 1963. Two different. theories have been advanced in support of those allegations. One theory is that E. Howard Hunt and Frank Sturgis, on behalf of the CIA, personally participated in the assassination. The other is that the CIA had connections with Lee Harvey Oswald or Jack Ruby. or both of them. and that those connections somehow led to t.he assassination. The Commission staff has investigated these allegations. Neither the staff nor the Commission undertook a full review of the Report of the Warren Commission. Such a task would have been outsicle the scope of the Executive Order establishing this Commis- sion, and would hare diverted the time of the Commission from its proper function. The investigation was limited to determining whether there was any credible evidence pointing to CIA involvement in the assassination of President Kennedy. A. The Theory That Hunt and Sturgis Participated in the Assassination The first of t.he theories involves charges that E. Howard Hunt and Frank Sturgis, both convicted of burglarizing the Democrst:ic Na- tional Committee headquarters at the Watergate in 1972, were CIA employees or agents at the time of the assassination of the President in 1963. It is further alleged that they were together in Dallas on the day of the assassination and that shortly after the assassination they were found in a railroad boxcar situated behind the “grassy knoll,” an area located to the right front of the Presidential car at the time of the assassination.

  • Watergate, Multiple Conspiracies, and the White House Tapes
    Do Not Delete 8/1/2012 8:26 PM Watergate, Multiple Conspiracies, and the White House Tapes Arnold Rochvarg* On January 1, 1975, John Mitchell, former United States Attorney General, John Ehrlichman, former Chief White House Assistant for Domestic Affairs, H.R. Haldeman, former White House Chief of Staff, and Robert Mardian, former Assistant Attorney General, were convicted of conspiracy1 for their involvement in what is generally known as “Watergate.”2 The Watergate conspiracy trial, presided over by Judge John Sirica, had run from October 1, 1974 until December 27, 1974.3 The trial included the in-court testimony of most of the figures involved in the Watergate scandal,4 and the playing of thirty of the “White House tapes.”5 The purpose of this Symposium article is to discuss whether the evidence presented at the Watergate trial is better understood as evidence of multiple conspiracies, as argued by two of the defendants,6 or as a single conspiracy as argued by the prosecution. The article first will set forth the law on multiple conspiracies and apply that law to the evidence presented at the Watergate conspiracy trial. The article will then discuss whether the admission into evidence of certain White House tapes premised on the single conspiracy view may have prejudiced any of the convicted defendants. I. THE LAW OF MULTIPLE CONSPIRACIES It is not uncommon at a criminal conspiracy trial, or on appeal from a conviction of conspiracy, for a defendant to argue that a guilty verdict for * Professor, University of Baltimore School of Law.
