MEMORANDUM FOR

          MR. BUNDY

SUBJECT: Assassination of Castro

1. Attached is a memorandum from CIA describing a plot to assassinate Castro which would involve U.S. elements of the Mafia and which would be financed by Pepin Bosch.

2. John Crimmins is looking into the matter, is planning to talk to Alexis Johnson about it, and feels that the matter should be discussed at a Special Group meeting. John's own inclination is that the U.S. Government cannot knowingly permit any criminal American involvement in this sort of thing and should go all out to stop the plot. This would involve sicking the FBI on the American criminal elements involved and intervening with Bosch.

I have not yet thought this one through and respectfully withhold judgment.
