MM 89-35 2.

NUNEZ PORTUONDO stated that CABARGA has only expressed opinions and that he has no concrete data to indicate OSWALD was directed or controlled by any group, foreign or domestic in this assassination of President KENNEDY. To avoid any misunderstanding, although NUNEZ PORTUONDO speaks in the English lang\lf!ge well, the entire interview was conducted in the Spanish language.

14th Terrace, •>

lbe person who ealled him from kxico City, on November 24, 1963, is JOSE ANTONIO CAB.AR.GA, Apartado Postal 3000. CABARGA is the former Preai.dent of the Maritime Retirement Funds, Cuba.

NUNEZ PORTUONDO stated he hadm concrete data of any kind whatsoever indicating a connection or direction of IEE HARVEY OSJALD by any group foreign or domestic.

S. Travel Control Laws. NUNEZ PORTUONDO also stated that no punitive a ction has been taken ~gainst CASTRO and his regime, and I ·chat CASTRO has been a filowed to reach a point where he feels that he is really1 important , and can reach into the United States and physically a ttack its leaders. He declared that CASTRO is now far mare dangerous than

KHRUSRCH&V of Russia . NUNEZ PORTUONDO stated that he no longer enjoys a good liaison or much popularity in important anti-CASTRO groups. NUNEZ PORTUONDO said tha t CABARGA is in frequent contact with the United States Embassy in Mexico Cit1; that ~A is an able investigator; and i f the assassination of President KENNEDY was planned in Mexico, CABARGA

He l!ent that day a letter with hts prebS release lnside. addr'!"sc;ed. to one tricnd or him who is living In l!exico City and bts friend deli-rer t.b&t pr~ relea<:e to the llenco City 11l'W8)leper in Mexico. In that relebe, Mr. :'\nnez-Ponuondn blnmed Fidel Castro u the "intellectual murderer of Premdent Kenneds." Dr. Portuondo told me that the s:ime day that that tutormatlon appear fn the paper, his !ri1•nd ;;offer an attempt co be kidnaped. 'l'bere 'l\"e.Dt about eight men to thl5 man house, and when they were trying to put hJm inside Gne nutomobllr. nt the snme moment poss u reporter-£ believe that "as trom the AP-nnd when the reporter saw what was going on, he sturt to ask for help. At that moment the poliee Cllme nod staned to question the eight men, and, accordinl? to Nunez..Portu01Jdo, they Identified themselves as members of the Secret Service of the Me:x:lcan Girrernment, and Mr. Portuoudo's friend was benlen so hard that he had to go to a hospital for 4 days with a broken leg, jast becanse he wu the one who deliver Nunez-Portuondo'" scatement to the lfexlcan neWS'(lllJM!l" bl.am.Ing Fidel Cac:tro for the murder or Prl?'<ldent Kennedy.

Refugee Chief Takes Reins Ricardo Nunez-Portuondo was sworn in Tuesday as director of the federal Cuban Refugee Program. Approximately 360 persons attended a Miami luncheon at which the oath of office was administered by Marjorie Lynch, under-secretary of Health, Education and Welfare. Nunez-Portuondo is the first Cuban-American appointed to the $36,000-a-year job. He succeeds Howard Palmatier, who died last March. "The appointment of a . CubanAmerican to the highest federal position dealing with the assimilation of an important group of new Americans symbolizes the unmistakable recognition of this major ethnic group by the NUNEZ highest authorities in the land," Nunezâ&#x20AC;˘ Portoondo said in a speech immediately after he was sworn in. "This is a day in which we can all be proud of being Cuban. and of being American - for we are both." ÂˇNunez-Portuondo was appointed in August and approved earlier this month by the U.S. Civil Service Commission. He is a former Voice of America broadcaster who once was associated with Gramco. a now defunct Bahamian investment fund, and who later headed a real estate development firm in Miami, NBS Development Inc.

POLITICAL CIRCUS -... Refugee Program Director Ricardo Nunez, a Repu\:ilic~ ¥d the first presidential appoi'ttt&~ important federal position, has won the support of key Latin Democrats in town. It has been learne·d that Miami Mayor Maurice Ferre, Miami Commissioner Manolo Reboso and Florida Democratic Party Chairman Alfredo Duran want Nunez to stay in office despite the change in administrations. Nunez, who passed all security checks required for the position. was recently given a very favorable evaluation by a task force appointed by the federal government. During his 13·month tenure. Nunez has managed to tighten fiscal controls on all local programs funded by the CRP - thus, stepping on some toes and winning some criticism from those chastised. According to the cynics, the Latin Democrats would rather see Nunez as director of the Cuban Refugee Program, a position which keeps him politically neutral, than as a focal point of active local opposition. If he is asked to resign by the new Carter administration, Nunez plans to return to his business ventures in housing development projects. It has been learned he woulcl also become active and vocal pol•' 'cally - maybe even run for l\tf' mayor.
