\ ~·
For reco :..·~ purposes, there is attached a copy of a proposed prass ~ ._
release to b3 issued by the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee Thursday, P. M., '
September 23, 1935, releas ing unknown details of the "insicle story" of Castro's ··
revolution both before and after it came to power. One oi the .witnesses, Ricardo , 1
Lorie y Valls, was one of Castro's chief weay,>0ns purchasers in the United States
u'uring the days when Castr ~ was fighting Batista from the wilds of the Sierra
:N!aestra. The othe~, Dr. Juan Orta Cordova, was cil.rector of Castro's personal
office until he sought political asylum in the Venezuelan Embas.::y in April, 1961. ,..
Lorie said he sent three Cuban helpers on circuits to stores selling guns "every
place around Florida" and was able to maintain constant pilrchases of about 12 rifles
a day. He also purchased a variety of other material, including radio equipment,
parachutes and a.irpl?..nes. O;ta was the intermediary between· Castro and former
Cuban President -:.. . _·.c.s Prid-Socarras, who provided e>..'tensive financial assistance '

Enclosed for the Bureau are eleven copies of
a letterhead memorandum entitled 11 C.ARLOS PRIO SOC.ARRAS,
EI' AL. 11 , which reflects the whereabouts of PRIO and eight
other individuals indicted with him on 2/13/58, New
York City. · U. S. Customs, Miami, is being furnished a ·
copy by separate cover letter.
There haG been some speculation in Miami as to
vrhether or. not the Federal Government .will proceed with
prosecution based upon the indictment of PRIO and the eight
other defendants in this case. An article appeared in
the 1/25/59 issue of the "Miami News" entitled, "PRIO
is Back to Square with Uncle Sam", in which PRIO is quoted
as statin ~ , "I think Minister of State ROBERTO AGRAMONTE
intends to instruct the Cuban Ambassador in Washington to
ask the United States to dismiss the charges."
·' It is sur;gested that the.Bureau consult the U. S.
Department of Justice concernine; future prosecutive action

SUBJECT: JUAN ORTA
REGISTRATION ACT
PERJURY ... ·,,_. Ne<Jse
Tele. Room
In view of the fact that two Departmental attorneys were going V Hollomon
Gandv
to Miami, Flori:la, last night (March 18) to draw up a complaint and i? ""1-,.- -, ,.,, , • ·..
warrant against Juan Orta for Perjury before the Grand Jury, ;>">''tt,. ' {· ,' f
Special Agent in Charge Weeks, Miami, was telephonically advised
on the even~g of March 18 of the Department's plans and of the need ./), .\
lo imme~tely locate the subject so he could be arrested at the ~ 'h>.•.J
• appropriate time. SAC Weeks called back at 7:45 p. m. to advise that · -: ·~ .
.~ ~ Orta is presently in the Dominican Republic and probably will return · ·
within the next few days. Attorney T'om. Hall of the Department was \
advised of t~s last night. >;...
- :~
Th,isJmorning (March 19), I spoke to Mr. Hall to find out the ,- ·
Department's .plans. He said that the attorneys had gone to Miami last ~'-/J
night and would go ahead and prepare the complaint and warrant and turn /J
{ tlwm over to the Miami Office. The papers· can then be brought to the ~
U. S. Commissdioner at dsuch time as Orta rhaeturhns to the UniteulddStates. ·-....:~
Il
Hall said he ha stresse to the attorneys t t t is matter sho be kept -,
quiet so there will be no leak of information back to Orta which might ..~.-1 ~
preclude his return to the United States . Hall said the Department plans ~ £']
to call additional witnesses before the Grand Jury to consider the ·\ ft!
R egistration Act case against the "July 26" Club of which Orta is . A. ' :-
president and also to call airlines officials, etc., as witnesses to ~.r~~ ~j
permit the return of a Perjury indictment against Orta. I pointed out to .~
Hall that if friends or associates of Orta a~e called before the Grand Jury - ~ , :-:; _
\ ·~
II
before his return, there is a possibility of information getting back to Orta;
how ever, this is a decision for the Department to make. It, thus, appears
that in addition to taking action against Orta himself, the Department is
again presenting witnesses concerning the possible Registration Act ··

violation involving the "July 26" Club. The Departme nt has been

Mr; Hall called back to advise he had talked to the attorneys

said that he had previously or could be

On April 4, 1957, Attorney SEGAL stated that in
order to support the indictment in this case, it would be .
desirable to have at least one Cuban witness who traveled
from New York City to Miami on December 8, 1956, on Eastern
· Air Lines Flight #857, arid who can testify that he and other
persons for whom such travel was arranged were Cubans, and
if possible , that such passag e \·ras paid for and arranged by
ORTA, and details of recruitment.
On April 3, 1957, the Identification Division, FBI,

1
On March 19, 1957, Juan 0rta was arrested by the Federal "'
Bureau of Investigation on a Commissioner•s Complaint charging
him with perjury based on his testimony before a Federal grand jury · ~·
/ in Miami, Florida, inquiring into alleged violations of the Foreign ~:
Agents Registration Act, the Voorhees Act and related statutes. He
was arraigned before a United States Commissioner and released on
· $10,000 bail. On March 27, 1957, a Federal grand jury in Miami,
Florida returned a superseding four-count indictment charging Juan
Orta with a violation of Title 18, u.s.c., Section 1621, based on
his grand jury testimony. On August 20, 1957, the District Court
in Miami, Florida suppressed the testimony of Juan Orta before the
grand jury and dismissed all four counts of the indictment. The
court had previously denied a motion by the defendant to dismiss the
indictment on the grounds that he had not been advised as to his
constitutional rights when he appeared before the grand jury. While
the court gave no reason for its actions in dismissing the indict-
/ ment, it had indicated cone ern over the fact that the defendant wa9'.,_
interrogated before the grand jurr through an interpreter and that "
he was not represented by counsel. On September 18, 1957, the
Goverrunent filed a notice of appeal.
