Kissinger Press Conference at Harvard'University - October 15, 1976
Q
Mr. Kissinger, I understand the United
States is investigating the cause of the crash of the
Cuban plane off Barbados.
Q
Yes:
Can you tell me who is doing the investigating,
what the investigation has learned so far?
To the best of my information, we have
asked the CIA to check into it. I don't know whether
the FBI is making a formal investigation of it. We have
offered the governments concerned any assistance that
they might request since it did not occur on American
soil. But I can state categorically that no official
of the United States Government -- nobody paid by the
American Government, nobody in contact with the
American Government -- has had anything to do with this
crash of the airliner. We consider actions like this
totally reprehensible.
