Evidently one Pedro Diaz Lanz was included among the Bureau's "TROPUS program subjects" -Bill Bill, mark PDL as a "person of interest". A brief perusal of TROPUS documents, it appears to have started after the assassination, and deals with not only the JFK case, but presidential protection in general. -------------------------- tropos (Latin) trope- figure of speech-figurative use of word; song- manner of singing tropus (Latin) trope- figure of speech-figurative use of word; song- manner of singing tropo (Italian) trope - figure of speech - any rhetorical device in which words are used not in accordance with their literal meaning - phrase interpolated into a text for purposes of emphasis Edited February 6, 2008 by Greg Parker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Parker Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 (edited) Greg, PDL has always been on my top 10 list.Bill, sorry, I meant "of interest" to FBI in relation to either JFK or presidential protection in general. Or maybe...TROP=Tropical and US = United States -?? Who knows, I considered that before looking at some of the docs, then ruled it out. It included keeping an eye on people who had been to Bloc countries and were known to be "disaffected" with the US.

Steve Thomas Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Bill, Anybody ever hear of the FBI's TROPUS Program? Evidently one Pedro Diaz Lanz was included among the Bureau's "TROPUS program subjects" -Bill Go to the FBI's JFK Assassination File, Section 180, p. 342 here: http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/...bsPageId=787496 TROPUS stood for Travel of the President in the United States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. It was a method of the FBI sharing information with the Secret Service on persons who were considered to be a threat, not only to the President, but also employees of federal, state and local governments and officials of foreign governments. It was a program instituted after JFK's assassination. Steve Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
