100. Inspector-General’s Report on CIA Plots to Assassinate Fidel Castro, 29–30, quoted in Scott, Deep Politics II, 59.

101. Some of the documents in this file, including the FBI report quoted in this paragraph, are incorporated into the Inspector-General’s Report on CIA Plots to Assassinate Fidel Castro, 29–30, quoted in Scott, Deep Politics II, 59. In addition, the CIA’s report on its interest in Resorts International, quoted previously, carries the handwritten notation “for file/Sam GIANCANA/not mentioned.” The allusion to Giancana makes sense in the context of the CIA–Mafia plots but, as far as I know, not otherwise.

102. “Moss, Edward K. #172 646,” CIA Memo of May 14, 1973, in Meyer Lansky Security File, 9, NARA #1993.08.13.17:42:12:560059. The CIA used the misspelling “Verona,” which occurred just once in the FBI source document, and ignored the correct spelling “Varona,” which was abundantly used as well. They also used “Cellino” (rather than “Cellini”) and “Lenzieri” (for Lanzieri) in related CIA documents. By this device, both the FBI and the CIA could avoid responding to document searches for the correct name. For example, in the 1940s the CIA told the French that they had no documents on the SS war criminal Klaus Barbie, whom they were harboring. The American documents referred to him systematically as “Barbier.”

103. “Moss, Edward K. #172 646,” CIA Memo of May 14, 1973, from Jerry G. Brown for Deputy Chief, Security Research Staff, NARA #1993.08.13,17:42:12:560059.

104. “Moss, Edward K. #172 646,” CIA Memo of April 19, 1967 [at the time of the I-G Report mentioning Moss], NARA #104-10122-10006; Inspector-General Report on CIA-Mafia Plots to Assassinate Fidel Castro (henceforth I-G Report), NARA #104-10213-10101, 38. Cf. memo of November 7, 1962, in CIA’s Edward K. Moss folder, 26, NARA #1994.05.03.10:54:53:780005.

105. “Manuel Antonio Varona,” FBI Memorandum of January 16, 1961, to A. H. Belmont, 105-76826-20; NARA #124-90055-10139.

Cf. “Moss, Edward K. #172 646,” CIA Memo of May 14, 1973, in Meyer Lansky Security File, 9, NARA #1993.08.13.17:42:12:560059; CIA letter of December 16, 1960, to FBI, FBI file 105-76826-18; NARA #124-90055-10133.

107. CIA letter of December 16, 1960, to Director, FBI, FBI File 105-76826-18; NARA #124-90055-10133. Apparently, no copy of this letter has been released from CIA files.

119. It has been alleged that at the Sands in 1960, the FBI saw the casino’s courtesy prostitutes “running in and out of” Senator Jack Kennedy’s suite, and a million dollars was allegedly given to Kennedy in a brown leather satchel by the hotel’s owners (John William Tuohy, “The Sands,” AmericanMafia, August 2001, http://www.american
