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.
