Pseudonym: Kendricks, Ed
Circa 1960-1962, in Robert Morrow's book Betrayal: "One of the most important individuals in Morrow's account, and who had passed away in 1975, was Mario Garcia Kohly. Morrow had met the extreme anti-Castro defector in 1960, while working as a consulting engineer, during a round of golf at Burning Tree Golf Club, in Washington D.C., in the presence of Vice-President Richard Nixon, assistant CIA Director Charles Cabell, and CIA official "Ed Kendricks" (whom Morrow revealed in his 1988 book The Senator Must Die was Tracy Barnes, fourth-in-command at that time and allegedly Morrow's future case officer when he was hired as a technical adviser in 1961; in my opinion it is much more likely that he was hired by E. Howard Hunt, although Morrow denied this suggestion to me during a telephone conversation)..." ...In the New York Times, "a short article did appear in the October 26, 1962 edition during the Missile Crisis under the headline 'Cuba Underground Warns President' originating in Miami. The report indicated that a telegram had been sent to Kennedy from 40,000 members of eight anti-Castro organizations in the Cuban underground (which included the Christian Democratic Movement and the Movement of Revolutionary Recuperation, both later investigated by the HSCA). Clearly anticipating the overthrow of Castro, a spokesman for the eight organizations stated that Dr. Mario Garcia Kohly, a former investment banker in Havana, had been elected president of the 'Cuban government in arms in exile' at a June 20, 1962 convention. Kennedy was warned not to impose a new government in Cuba following Castro's overthrow, making it quite clear that they expected Kohly to be their new leader. Kohly himself was quoted as anticipating an attack upon Castro by '300,000 Cubans, within the next few months', which, of course, never materialized."

Re Summer of 1961: Robert Morrow claims the following: "(Mario Kohly) presents his plan to Vice President Richard Nixon and General Charles Cabell, deputy director of the CIA. Nixon requested that CIA cooperate with Kohly. He was inducted into the secret war by General Cabell and Ed Kendricks and given cover identity of Robert Porter...Kennedy Administration was not aware of plan, with General Cabell apparently working independently. This took place in the summer of 1961."

1963: "In Betrayal, Morrow wrote that "Ed Kendricks," a pseudonym he used for Tracy Barnes, had briefed "Richard Carson Fillmore" (note: allegedly Richard Case Nagell) about the strange goings-on in New Orleans. "Kendricks" then instructed "Fillmore" to go to New Orleans and register in a hotel under the name "Joseph Kramer." Fillmore was also to ascertain whether Oswald, whom Kendricks had utilized before in the USSR, was acting as an FBI informant.
