Osvaldo Aurelio Pino Pino

[Steve Thomas]

In researching Manuel Orcaberro Rodriguez, who rented the house on Harlendale, I ran across the name Osvaldo Aurelio Pino Pino.

He was interviewed by the FBI on September 8, 1964 in connection with the visit to Sylvia Odio's home by three men, one of whom it has been alleged to be LHO. This interview is CE 2390 at 25h370.

He told the FBI that he was a member of the Second National Front of the Escambray (Operation Alpha 66). He also said that there was a general meeting of various anti-Castro groups at the picnic grounds of White Rock Lake "several months ago." (I'm assuming that was in 1964.)

In looking up the name Pino in the NARA database, the 1962 and early 1963 documents produce results like these:
