Garrison investigates CIA links as FBI subpoenas issued
Grand jury subpoenas were issued for an FBI agent Regis Kennedy and a former FBI agent in New Orleans. Deputy sheriffs served Kennedy in his Federal Building office. Warren Debrueys was reportedly moved to Washington and had worked with Kennedy in the 1963 64 assassination probe. The timing and sources suggest Garrison may tie Oswald and anti Cuban CIA activity to the case as part of challenging Warren Commission findings.
